We DO Not Need Them.

IN Our young and festive days we resided
for time in the town of Port Tosacco and
like all the residents of the place, then, and
now, We considered quinine Indispensable,
and fever ind sgue cures held high position
in cur esteem. We state these facts for the pur
pose of giving notice to the prop-iet6fs Of fr
yer ana agre cures generally, that Ne no
longer reside 10 Port Tobacco, nor would we
do so under any consideration, and Nv SO sta.
ting hope, MS we have no need of sucti rene
dies now, we may not in the future be the re-
eipleht ofred lettered circulars 10 orning US
that ''fhomss Brown will sell 100 of INV owl
make two grain quinine pills for 2s cents, -
Or that Samuel johnson will sell bottle of
my certain cure fever and ague remedy for
81 Is" We repeat we do not live in Port
Tobacco, and we would respectfully request
that the proprietors of fever and ague NOS.
truns stop sending us circulars and thus save
themselves postage. We will furnish the
names Of the residents OF The village for
reasonable consideration, or insert fever and
ssue ads at regular rates.

Of said removal, to her falthfulncss az an Off

CHlNA'S RICHEST MINES.

The Most Valuable Mineral Deposits Are
at Jaho-Worbed by Coolies.
John Gildea returned to this city re.
Gently from China where for the past
year he has been in the employ Of the
Chinese government at the mines Of
Jaho, says the San Francisco Call.
''Jaho is the ancient capital OF Mon.
golia,'' says Mr.. Gildea. ''and is about
three hundred miles inland. On the
way to the mines we rode horseback ali
the distance and passed through many
villages, the inhabitants Of which had
never seen a white man. In some
places the women and children would
double lock the doors and hide, while
the men would follow us wherever we
went out of curiosity They didn't un'
aerstand how we came to be without
queues and were mystifed at our ap'
pearance and style of dress, but no at.
tempt was made to molest lis.
1.-The Jaho mines are extensive and
consist of a lode sixty miles long and one
hundred feet wide. The ore is silver
bearing, but will not average more than
twelve dollars a ton. A bout one thou.
sand coolies are on the pay roll and
each gets about five dollars and a half a
month in Mexican money. They are
the greatest thieves ! ever saw, and
many of them, just for the love Of steal
ing, would steal a piece of ore perhaps
worth not more than five cents, though
if the pilferer were caught he would
lose his pay and be banlboocd besides.
This punishment is given by striking
the man on the muscles Of his bare legs.
and often so severely that the flesh is
cut through to the bone.
"Much of the mining machinery is
first-class and was sent from this state,
and I doubt if any mine III the United
States is better equipped with modern
machinery than the mines of Jaho."
