Much Interest Taken in the Reading of

were filled when Speaker Crisp raped
the house to order at noon, with fully
800 members in their seats. Conspicu-
GUS among the vacancies, on account of
their chairs being draped in mourning,
were the seats of Congressman O'Neill
and Lilley of Pennsylvania, the Key
stone etate being cut two short of it's
full representation by death. The chap

roll was called.
The roll call showed 240 members
present.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Secretary
Gresham declined this morning to talk
in regard to the published report that
the revenue cutter Corwin was to carry
a message for the state department. from
San Francisco to Honolulu. There is
reason to suppose, however, that the story
is substantially correct. Gresham was
busy yesterday with dispatches which
are to 90 on the Corwin. OF what these
contain, nothing can be learned. The

COURSE OF THE MARKET.

The Florida phosphate market during
the past year has shown considerable
activity, and the industry of the State
has been undergoing a more extensive
degree of development than in South
Carolina. Low prices have prevailed
from similar causes to those in that
State and in the great competition pres
ent there has been but slight improve
ment in valu IS During the past year
the fuc ualiol have been narrow, and
the market rather easy in tone, while
not quotably lower. Values at the close
of 1892 were firmer at 81 to $4.75 for
Charlotte Harbor and Tampa 60 to 20
per cent. product, and So so to 1915 for

shall be made with q trench or ditch, the
same shall be four feet wide, and in that
case the fence shall be five feet high from
the bottom of the ditch to the top of the
fence"
Section SIG recites penalty for conse-
quences of not having lawful fence.
SEQ. SIT. WIRE FENCE AGAINST Cows
AND HORsEs-Al wire fences made of
barbed wire not less than five feet high,
tightly stretched on posts not more than
twenty feet apart, the bottom wire not
less than eighteen inches from the ground,
the second wire not more than twelve
inches above the first, and the third wire
not more than eighteen inches above the
second, with a plank or board or metal
taber, as above provided, shall be a legal
fence to the extent of affording the same
protection to the owners OF such fences
against COWS and horses as is provided
in the foregoing section"
Section 87S recites penalty for setting
stakes or canes so as to injure stock, etc.
Section $40 relates to fright to land
not in issue" on which the trespass or
damage shall be said to be done, of the
party in possession thereof, etc.
The three wire and one plank mOdifica-
ton Of a lawful fence against COWS and
horses ought to afford ample protection
to grove owners. Anyone owning 'sheep,
goats or swine" in a grove neighbOrhood
would keep them at home if worth own
ing. Scrubby swine does not long sur
vve in progressive community.
Ii grove and garden men desire any bet.
ter fence law than the three wire and one
board, five feet high, petition the COM
ing legislature to enact a local option no.
fence statute, to be adopted on major
ity vote in precincts, congressional dis
tricts or county.
II a no, fence general law should be
enacted by the legislature, it would work
grave hardships to many deserving citi-
zens who depend upon stock raising for
q livelihood.
Mutuality should actuate all classes of
our people when asking for theenactment
OF laws that ought to rest as equally as
may be upon every individual. The con-
stitutiOn Of the United States was mod
eed on a series of compromises, and so
OF all important laws that have been
legalized since, whenever the legislators
were impelled by spirit of fairness. OF
course a pronounced majority in legis-
lative body may ride rough shod" over
the rights of one class of people to the
entire advantage OF another class. but
the people invariably relegate to private
life their arrogant servants. Give and
take is a safe rule to adopt in making laws
to cover opposite Interests, but as surely
as that water will find its own level, as
surely will the stockmen nd grove men
find satisfactory solution to the condi-
tons which now confront them. and the
three wire and ore hoard fence is to
accomplish it. ROBT. A. Mills.

Pebble los sos tons at 50 50............. 369,620

Reviewing the history of the years
transactions, the following points are
demonstrated:
LIST. That the foreign markets consume
practically all the handbook phosphate
produced.
End. That the river and land-pebble
phosphate is equally acceptable for the
domestic and foreign market.
Srd. That land-pebble phosphate can
be mined and washed economically on
a large scale by machinery.
4th. In 1898 Florida will produce 175,
900 tons of pebble phosphate that will
be placed in active competition with
South Carolina phosphates at home and
abroad, but with this advantage in favor
of Florida, that the higher grades of
pebble phosphates produce super

can be made from Carolina rock.

development OF the industry during

been as follows:

Tons of 224O lbs.
1888 e00
1889 I'OUU
1S91 0o ooI
1892 -0o'--
These figures show steady growth
in output under the very adverse circum-
stance of the prevailing low prices for
phosphates.
4 careful review Uf the situation points
to production of about 325, 600 tons for
the year 1893 The bulk OF this Increase
will be in land-pebble phosphate. The
amount of land-pebble phosphate
shipped in 1892 was IS ,491 tons, there are
now at hand at various mines about
5000 tons, making the total amount
min d for the year q ,491 tors. During
1893 we may safely count on the land
pebble shipments amounting to 100000
tons. River pebble mining has practl-
calIy reached its maximum limit. The
rock phosphate mining has SO reached
its maximum unless there is marked
rise in price, consequently the estimate
of 1856 900 tons, total for 1893, may
be taken as conservative and safe. The
foreign market practically consumes The
entire output of handbook phosphate.
The consumption Of pebble phosphate is
equally divided between the foreign and
domestic markets. The following table
gives, in tons. relative production of
hard-rock and pebble phosphates for
the years 1891 and 1892:
PRODUCTION CT HARD ROCK AND PEBBLE

1891 1892 Increase.
Hark rock .......... $4,000 ,613 91,613
Pebble 94,12O 1O5,6OS lass
From the above it appears that the
increase in handbook production has
been much greater than in the pebble.
This very marked increase in handbook
output, especially considering prevailing
low prices can only be account eG for by the
fact that while prices were higher in the
latter half of 1891 end early part OF 1892,
the mines were worked to :heirfull cara
cities and new mines were opening
up. The bulk CT this phosphate was

took the positions that mining
ground is real estate. The Wood
River Times says mining claims
cannot be taxed. tits true that in
Custer county they have been
taxed for years. Last year some
Washington county clients of R. z.
Johnson, the eminent Boise attor-
ney, asked for his opinion and he
advised them to pay the tax.
Chief Justice Huston paid taxes
last year on patentedsclaims in
which he owns. Chris. johnson
has paid taxes for years on mining
claims which he owns in another
county. Others have done like
wise. But all this has been in vio-
lation of law since the statutes
exempt mining claims. Hence to
tax them is only species of extor-
ton, of black mailing, in which no
self-respecting community or indi-
vidual can indulge. Mining claims
will therefore not be taxed in Altu-
ras county.

belt OF Idaho, the Payette valley,

better advertise our almost un-
