VERY RICH ORE.

On Friday last there passed
through Nogales, by express bound
east, eighteen sacks of concentrates
from the Crank brothers. mine in
Lower California. 1t was valued
at $1,000 per sack and paid the
express company $500 charges for
carrying it.
Another shipment OF rich ore
was made recently through the
same port of entry. 1t was from
tho Colorado mine at Minas
Prietas. 1t was carload in its
virgin state and the assay value of
the car was $4,000 A recent rich
strike was made in the Colorado
and heavy shipments are being
made. At present two cars per
day are being hauled over the road.
This company expects In another
month to increase its shipments to
four cars per day.
A rich strike was made few
days ago in Ephraim's mine, which
has become famous for it's vast
wealth. A tunnel tapped an ore
body which determined the ore
to reach a point which places over
VI 100000 in sight. The owner
says with silver ut SOC. an ounce he
has oil he cares for.--Tombstone

THE WORLDS GOLD.

Returns received at the treasury
department indicate that the gold
output for 1893 will reach the al
most unprecedented amount OF
S37 100000, an increase ouer 1899
Of $4.00o,000. In Colorado the
output has increased from 3d.
100000 in 1892 to 100000 IN
1898. while the gains IN the gold
producing sections are unusually
large. -
The Australian production will
carry the production OF the world
it is thought to $l50,0O0,00o. which
is an increase of $l2,000,000 for
the year. With one or two excsp-
tons this 10 the largest output
ever known.
The gold fields OF South Africa
seem to be rapidly taking toe place
Of the California and Australia
fields and the bonanza finds OF the
present decades. Reports from
the Witwaterstrandt region Alene
show total product for 1898 OF
l,478, 476 sunses OF ore yielding
product OF refined gold OF value
in excess Of s25, 100000. The pro-
duction in South Africa bids fair
during the present year to push
her way to the head OF the list OF
gold producing countries. !: The
figures for 1892 put Australia ct
the head OF the list, with a pro-
ductiou OF $33, $40, 800: the Uuited
States second at $50, 100000; RUS
sia third at $24, ,S06, 200; and Africa
fourth at s23, ,7O6,6 ,602.
The production OF silver accord
ing to the reports reviewed at the
mint, has fallen off during the past
year and will not exceed SITS, ,000.-
900 in coming value Of 1893, :.as
the coming value is now more
than twice the market value, the
actual mershantils value OF the sit.

The falling off IN the ore supply
at the smelters, since the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sher
man act and the shutting down Of
the mints of India, is awful to
think of. From time to time since
those events took place, the smel
ters have reduced their treatment
charges on silver ores, the railroad
companies have cat down their
freight rates on the product, and
the miner has accepted a smaller
wage scale, yet the silver ore re-
ceipts at the smelters grow less
and less.
Reductions all around have
gone as far as possible and as the
ore does not come in the smelters
are compelled to close down part
of their works. With the reduc-
tlons already made in the produc.
ton OF silver, had the quotation

PROTESTS AGAINST 1T.

NJ LC . h0AhN'oA -
Silver City Enterprise.
10 the San Francisco Examiner
Of last Sunday the 18th ,rst, was
published the full text of bill
introduced by Representative
Newlands of Nevada, at the request
of beMineis association of Cslifor-
mia. Bill proposes to amend chapter
p, sectien 2324 Of the Revised
Statutes OF the United States.
Among other amendments are the
following:
On each claim located after
May 10, 1898, and until the pay
ment OF the purchase money and
the certificate Of entry has been
issued therefor, not less than 500
worth of labor shall lie performed
or improvements made during each
year. On all claims located prior
to May 10, 1892, $40 worth OF work
shall be periorMed or improve
nents made during each year for
each 100 feet in length of the vein
until the payment Of the purchase
money and certificate OF entry has
been issued, but where such claims
are he'd in com mon such expendl-
lures may be made upon any one
claim.
Under Che present law it is re-
CURED oil claims located prior to
May 10, 1892 shall have $40 worth
of annual improvement made upon
every 100 feet, and upon claims
located subsequent to that date
800 worth of labor and improve
ment shall be made annually But
as nearly all claims located since
the passage of thatlaw are 1900 feet
in length; under tnis new amend-
ment it would nacessItate $3.50
worth of labour and Improvement
annually on each 1909 foot claim.
Miners, especially silver miners
who have put their alr' into sill
yer mines for years past and have
nothing to show for il but hope
in the future; can ill afford to have
the buiden of assessment increased.
Ii Representative Newland or
some other of our western repre-
in congress would intro
duce a bill rsmittiBg or suspend.
ing the annual assessment upon
silver mines, until that metal
market value of 81 per
ounce. it would be what our min
ers need. Many = miner has ex-
pended his time and the results OF
his labor during all OF the past ten,
fifteen and twenty years on silver
mine to find the value legislated
away by congress during the
special session. They should now
make it easy for HIM to retain
possession of it, and let him hope |
for a better future for silver and
his silver mine.

fallen no lower than 70 cents, many
of the richest silver mines could
have continued working and the
smelters kept in full blast, but the
steady drop IN the price uf the
white metal has brought disaster
to the industry.
At prese Mt the ore receipts at
Denver are but about 66 carloads
or 1000 tons per day. This
necessitates the shutting down Of
seven roasters at the Omaha
Grant plant. The News says the
blast furnaces OF that plant will
all run until the first of March
and then FIVE of the ten will blow
out, 81 that the capacity OF the
plant will be reduced one half
The Globe smelter is now running
three ont of ten blast furnaces,
but the Argo, which makes a
speciality of gold-copper ores. will
probably continue as at present,
using oil its furnaces.
At Pueblo the Colorado plant
has two blast furnaces in use, and
the Philadelphia six.

A PECULIAR LEGAL CASE.

A very peculiar case came up
in the United States court sitting
at Las Cruces last week. The
United States Marshal for this
territory senta registered summons
to John A. Raithsl, at Deming,
commanding him to appear and
serve as a grand Juror at the pres
ent term OF court. Raithel having
moved from Deming some months
ago and locating IN Sheridan, Wy
omIng, the postmaster at Deming
promptly forwarded the letter to
Mr. Raithel at that place. Raithel
having severed his residence con.
nection with this territory was in
a quandary as to his duty in the
matter. He made dillgent IN
quirv of legal authorities 10 bis
town, but they, not being familiar
with our law IN regard to thu ques-
ton in point Raithel concluded
that the only thing to do was to
comply with the demands OF the
summons. Accordingly he pre-
sented himself and demanded his
mileage which amounted to S220.
Then arose the question Of his
eligibility to serve in the capacity
for which he had been called, and
after affirming that he was no
lsngeI a resident OF this territory
he was excused, but not however,
until the mileage had been paid,
rhe legality of service by register
ed letter is seriously questioned
by very many Of the leading at
torneys of this territory and it is a
matter which will no doubt be
brought before the legislature -

become the owner of the mineral
or coal, and holds it as such. 1t is
, freq lent the case that the mineral
and coal in tract of land are held
bv one party while the surface is
held and owned by another, and il
is when this is the case that the
mineral and coal shall be assessed
separately. The owner of the land
owns it from the center OF the
earth to the heavens, and the coal
is but part of the land, and if a
man rents part OF bis land the
law does not require the lessee to
be assessed with the tax on the
portion leased, but the assess
ment is made to the owner. Sec
tion 4, c. 36. of the Acts OF 1891,
West Virginia, in providing for
the reassessment Of land, In speak
ing of coal privileges or interests
held by party or company ex-
elusive of the surface, meant and
intended coal privileges or inter
ests owned by such party or CON-
pany, is apparent from the context,
for the same section provides that
the commissioner, in order to assist
HIM in ascertaining and fixing the
value of Iid lands and minerals,
shall, when practicable, examine
the owner OF said lands, not the
lessee, under oath, etc. Section
3, C. 29, of the Code, provides that
the clerk of the county coart, in
making out the handbook, shall
correct errors and mistakes which
he may discover in any such land
books as the names of persons
chargeable with taxes on any
tract or lot OF land entered therein,
and enter and charge the same,
with taxes thereon, TO the person or
persons properly chsrgeable there
with, whether such correction be
rendered necessary by the sonvey-
ance of such tract or lot by the
person last charged with taxes
thereon OF otherwise; and section
rs OF the same chapter provides
that when a tract or lot If land
becomes the property OF different
owners in several parcels, or one
pc rs0n becomes the owner of the
surface and another OF the mineral
under the same, the assessor shall
divide the value at which the
whole had before been assessed
among the different owners, hav
ing regard to the value Of each
interest compared with that of the
whole" This section is a part of
the chapter which provides for the
of taxes generally, aud
is not repealed by Chapter sc of
the Acts Of 1891, which provides
for the reassessment of lands, and.

chapter of the Acts of 1891, shows

Give the Farmer Facts.

The average planter has but little use for
finely spun theory, whether it pertains to
the relation OF his condition to politics or
whether it deals with the best ways and
and means of growing the best crops.
What he wants is Facts. No one has
realized this more than the great seed firm
OF d. NJ. Ferry & Co.. Detroit, Mich, who
for forty years have been studying the
wants and condition of planters, large and
small. and as a result have created the
largest seed business liz the whole world.
Without doubt. a strict adherence to the
policy OF dealing in facts represents the
secret OF their success. They know their
seeds are right before they are sent to the
many thousands dealers from whom the
planter gets them, The dealer knows this
to be a fact requiring no further question,
and the planter finds it to bea substantial
fact when harvest time comes. Another
illustration of the value of this method liz
found in Ferry's Seed Annual, in which
there is nothing but facts. Facts that
prove of the greatest value to every plan
ter; facts about how, when and where to
plant, that can be had from no other source.
There are no worthy facts left out, and no
unworthy theories let in. This book is
sent free to every one who asks for it.
A postal card with your name and address
sent the firm will bring it to you.

their happy rhyme on Fifth avenue
