pulp about fewer seeds. The seed is

fruit, and the fewer specimens making
grower generally. Suppose peach tree
is able to yield 100 pounds OF fruit it
makes wide difference to the grower
and shipper whether it requires 500
peaches to make up that weight, or
whether it requires only 200. 1t needs
intelligent courage to thin properly. A
good rule is to leave a space of at least
four to elk inches between specimens.
Care in this regard distributes the weight
more evenly and saves the tree, as well
as allowing the crop to ripen more
nearly at one time.-lCalifornia Fruit

Above is diagram of the tariff in
iquity. The figures up beside line "a"
give the rate of duty. The space be-
tween lines "a" and sc" is the natural
increase in price in consequence Of the
duty. The space between "a" and "b''
shows how much of the increase goes to
the government. and the space between
"b" and &C" shows what goes to the
protected interests. As the Mckinley
tariff averages about go per cent, the
seeiey) $i,oo0,OOO, 600 Of which the
government gets about 5000, 900, 900
and the manufactured $500, 900 900. The
Democratic position is a tariff for reve-
nue., or an average tariff Of about Is per
cent, which would afford an incidental
protection equal to the revenue obtained
for the support Of the government.

Thin Your Fruit.

We make no apology for repeatedly
urging orchardists to thin the fruit with
an unsparing yet judicious hand.
Growers are frequently timid about
this, and regard the operation of thin
ming their fruit as purely incidental
and of'no special Importance. This is
surely an error. Next to good cultiva-
ton, the regulation of the number of
specimens on each tree is most i'm
portant. As general statement, all
fruits, except oranges and lemons, which
are liable to overgrow, set more fruit
than the tree can properly mature. If
this is allowed to remain on the trees,
much inferior fruit is sure to result, and
injury to the tree from breakage of limbs
by cheap fruit often entails heavy losses.
Apricots and other stone fruits should
be thinned early in the season before
the pits become hardened. It must be
remembered that nature puts forth her
strongest efforts to mature the seed /;
hence, great number Of seeds draw far
more heavily upon the vital forces 81

A Flattering Prospect.


Mr.. McRay came in from the desert
the latter part of last week, says the
Santa Ana Blade, bringing with him
some good specimens of ore from pros
pect he and w. w. Halesworth are de-
veloping. The present outlook of the
prospect is flattering, the veins being
of dual nature. The stratum next the
footwall is q chloride carrying heavily in
silver, while that next the hanging wall
is free milling gold quartz Of q good
quality. They are down sixty feet and
are drifting, with present indications of
ledge matter more than four feet in
width.
Mr.. Halesworth left on the noon train
today on his way out to the deserA tax
ing with him some miners, with the
idea of pushing the work forward as
rapidly as possible. They are working
two shifts, and intend sinking about 100
feet further, if indications will bear
them out in so doing. That would give
them three levels, and should they be
fortunate in striking as good ore at that
distance as that already developed,
Halesworth & McRay will then have q
mine. The gentlemen referred to are
both very conservative and are not at
all excitable-qualities very desirable in
opening up prospects.

Gum Disease.

One very strong argument made by
Mr.. Cutter in favor of sour stock for
orange and lemon trees is as follows:
"The most deadly disease that citrus
trees are subject to is NAL di gonna,
known under the English aliases Of gum
disease, foot rot, sore shin, etc. Ofthese
foot rot is most expressive of it's point of
fatal attack, but we of California usually
term it gum disease. This had ravaged
the Mediterranean, the Azores and Flor
ida, and made bad beginning in Cali

MINES AND MINING,
The Old Macedonia Mine
ReOpened.
Los Angeles Men Working an Old

Did Not Find the Pegleg at Harqus
Hala-Items from AlamO-A
Very Flattering
Prospect.

Mr.. Farnsworth of Victor, DR.. Prit-
>chard and Mr.. House of Los Angeles
and Mr.. Nowlin of Riverside, have
bonded the mine known years ago as
the Macedonia, says the Redlands Cit
rograph. 1t is situated in what was
once known as the New York min
ing district, but which is now a
part of the Palm mining district.
1t lie about forty miles west of
the Colorado river and twenty.six miles
north of the Santa Fe railroad. The
property is also within twenty miles OF
Green Campbell's mines, which are said
to be producing steadily. The above
named gentlemen are very hopeful OF
good results, as the last ore taken out
ran 5000 to the ton.
The property was worked twenty
years ago by the well-known 'Lige
Moulton and partners. At that. time
the Indians were much more numerous
and troublesome, and some of the men
interested in the mine were killed and
the others were driven away. In this
way it became lost and remained un-
worked until comparatively recent
date. There is also said to be paying
gold ore in that region, and that lot
Of it after long haul on wagons across
the desert was sent to San Francisco
and paid $500 per ton above all ex-
penses.
The old New York district was rich in
low grade ores and a railroad through
that section would set thousands OF
men at work. Should the railroad from
Utah come down the proposed route we
predict the starting up of dozen pros
porous mining camps along its line from
of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad.
That country is treasure house of the
useful and precious metals.

The Harqua HaIa.

Ed Jones, well-known mining man,
arrived in the city yesterday from Har-
qua Hala. He reports everything -four
ishing in and about the camp. The Bo-
nanza company is about to make the
sale of the Bonanza and Golden Eagle
mine for 100000. Parties are on the
ground surveying and assaying at the
present time. It is undoubtedly the
biggest and richest gold mine in the ter
ritory. Shipments amount to from $40,-
900 to $50, 900 month.
Mr.. Jones says that other mines in
the vicinity of Harqua Hala are looking
fine. The shaft on Delhigh's mine is
down 80 feet, all in good gold. Messrs.
Gray and Davidson have claims adjoin.
ing Delhigh's that are looking good. A.
Weldon also had some valuable prop
.erty situated thirty miles north Of the
Harqua Hala. Levan Bros. have made
a strike southwest OF Harqua Hala, and
the ore is ranging as high as from $500
to $1,000 in silver and Lead Tucson Star.

Did Not Find the Peg Leg.

Did NOT F1nO Cne reg Leg.
Dan Higgins, an old time prospector
who has spent much time in searching
for coal and minerals on the Colorado
desert, returned Sunday after a long
trip into the supposed Lost Peg Leg"
mine country, says the Yuma Sentinel.
He brought back some fine speci-
mems of silver ore which he took
from the veins, and also some
excellent samples of coal which
he found in narrow seams, near
where he picked up the large
piece several months since. The larg-
est seam was about six inches thick on
the surface. The quality is good. It
has all the appearance Of the imported
camel coal. He believes that the small
seams will all unite when depth is at
tanned. There is no doubt but that
good coal will be found in paying guam
titles in the coal measure which is
known to exist in the great valley Just
west of Yuma.
