The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1894-05-29

The New York Times, Pluto-D Demo-
cratic organ, says Populists are nothing
more than ordinary tramps; that Sena-
tors PETER, Stewart, Allen, Kyle, and
Congressman Simpson, Pence and the
balance of the Populist Congressman
are tramps. We wish Congress was
composed of such tramps. Senator
Vance was characterized as ga crank"
by this same organ, so we guess North
Carolina people will not ''be AFTER
putting much confidence in the brutal
talk about POpulist tramps. When
party organs get SO low, and run so
short of reasons for their party's ex-
istence, the time is not far off when
that party will have lost all respecta-
bility. Watch and see.

OUR L U

That we may be more enlightened as
to what is going on in the different
parts Of our great country, we ought to
diversity u reading. More Western
and Northern papers ought to be read
in the South and more Southern papers
should be read in the West and North.
Believing this the best thing to do to
everlastingly obliterate the prejudices
of the past, we have arranged a list of
papers to offer with The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER. The price in the parentheeis
is the regular subscription price of the
paper and the other figures are what
we charge for the paper with The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER for one year. Re-
newals for the other papers cannot be
taken at the club rates, but all netU
subscribers can. You can renew for
our paper and get the club rates:

FERTILIZER FOR T T

In response to a frequent inquiry by
the brethren in regard to giving cotton
for fertilizer, | have succeeded in OBJ
tanning q contract which may be of
service. For 300 pounds of middling
cotton, delivered f. o. b. at your depot,
not later than the first day of Novem-
Der, 1894, you can get a ton of N. @.
Alliance Official guano, the guano to
be shipped from any point you may
prefer from which the company ships.
You pay freight on the fertilizer, the
company pays freight on cotton.
No v, bear in mind that the cotton
must be middIing, and if it does not
grade up to middling, you will have to
pay the difference between the price OF
middling and the grade you deliver.
You will also be required to guarantee
the weight of cotton so delivered, or
have it weighed by a sworn weigher at
point of shipment. Of course your
shipments of cotton must be made &C
cording to direction of the company.
All brethren wishing to avail them
selves of this opportunity, will please
direct their correspondence to Durham
Fertilizer Company, Durham, N. O.,
who will give all the information de-
sired. In no case write to this office
about this matter.
The above arrangement does not in
any way effect III present contract.

Good News,

The San Francisco News Letter
contains the following encouraging
news:
A large and important transaction
has just been closed in southwestern
Nevada by the sale of the old Palmet-
b group Of mines to a syndicate of
prominent English capitalists. AS
the expert sent out from London did
not continue his trip westward to
San Francisco for the benefit Of his
health, the news OF tho sale has been
kept pretty secret, and tho names of
the purchasers are still unknown to a
great many OF the profession who pride
themselves on being on the inside"
track of everything connected with
the business.
The sum paid is not extravagant.
The owners are well known business
men in the east, who invested nearly
Half million in the district many
years ago and left it there after expe-
rimenting with the ores. One Of the
partners drifted out west some months
ago, as much on pleasure as on busin
ess bent, and he thought of looking
up the Nevada investment. He found
the smokestack left as monument
on the site Of magnificent plant and
it was in condition which rendered
it unfit for any earthly use in that
part Of the world, the situation amused
the old capitalist, and it has served
ever since as one Of his best Jokes
when relating his western experience
among his fellow clubmen.
The property has very promising
future, and if everything goes well by
next January the company will be in
possession.
1t is intended to put up very fine
set OF reduction works. which the de.
velopment OF the mine will justify.
The ores are gold OF paying grade

with it, Nevada can again BIO congrat.
ulated upon the acquisition of set of
enterprising men, backed by no small
amount Of capital.

Mining Outlook.

The indications point to CON
siderable activity in the mining
interests OF Idaho County the
present season, There are now
quite a number at work with
rockers on the South Fork of the
Clearwater, and several gold saw
ing machines will be put in at
once on the Middle Fork. The
hoist for the Little Giant, at
Warren, will be put up. Many
gold properties in that district
which have been idle for several
years will be producing ore,
There is also talk of doing con-
siderable placer mining in the
Florence section; and we believe
| it 10 conceded that it is the rich
est placer district ever found in
the Pacific Northwest,
Elk and the Red river coun.
country will soon experience re-
newed activity, and parties have
secured leases of rich placer
claims on the reservation which
will no doubt yield handsome
returns. The Dixie district
seems to be attracting much at
tention and with the number OF
prospectors fitting out for these
and other points it is very prob
able that the present season will
see more activity in mining than
than before in many years, All
that our mines need is opening
up and we believe the time has
come when those who desire
good properties will turn then
attention TO our section.
