THE first domestic tea raised in the
state Of Arkansas and put on the
market has recently been sold at
Memphis, Tenn, by planter to the
extent Of 300 pounds. 1t has been
pronounced by experts to be Of ex-
cellent quality, and it is likely that
its cultivation will be gone into to
some considerable extent in Arkan-
sas IN the coming year.

The next tariff will be made by the
party Of protection. 1t will be an
American tariff, framed with view
to give American industry the first

will lack the sweet simplicity of ad

largest rewards to exporters and i'm

Pioneer Press: The New York Sun
calls attention to the fact that it Is
about on the supposed site of the
Garden of Eden that the massacres
OF the Armenians are now taking
place. There has Away been some
uncertainty as to the identity Of the
spot, but II 1t could be proved there
would be an awful irony in the situ-
alton. The blood Of the martyrs Is

placed in commission. The delays
which have attended this work have
thrown the operation of the mill away
behind, but now that the system is
completed it is anticipated that the
capacity of the concentrator will be
run up to something over a hundred
tons daily to two hundred tons every
twenty-four hours. There is a keen
competition between the agents of the
Bryan and Huntington mills, which
are now running side by side in the
Bullion-Beck mill, for the purpose of
determining once for all which has the
best crushing powers and lasting quail
titles. This run is to last for the per-
iod Of four months and at the end of
that time the best mill is to be ac-
cepted by the company. To date the
Bryan crusher has done the best work
by about 20 per cent, but the represent
tative of the Risdon iron works, who
arrived on the ground yesterday, says
this is because his mill was not geared
up sufficiently. The gentleman made
the adjustment and says his machine
remains to be seen.
Both the Caroline and the Bullion
Beck are in splendid shape, says the
captain, and continued development is
opening UP new and very rich terri
tory. Some shipping ore is being taken
out of the Caroline, but the major por-
ton of its product goes to the mill for
concentration The contract for the
treatment of the concentrates turned
out by the company has been awarded
to the Philadelphia Smelling company
and all shipments will be made to 1t
for the year.

THE DANDELION.

The dandelion belongs to the largest
Oldest and most widely diffused order of
plants. While other orders of plants have
died out and become mere fossil remains
in the rocks, this order has survived the
geological changes OF many different per-
lcds, on account of it's power of adapting
itself to those changes. And these
changes in their turn have only made it
better suited for all the varied soils and
climates of the earth at the present day.
We lind members of this order in every
part of the globe, in places as far apart
from each other as they can be. 1t is the
prevailing and dominant order of veget-
able life, the most highly finished and the
most successful family of plants And
the dandelion is one of the most perfect
forms belonging to it.
1t is the head and crown of the veget-
able kingdom, as man is the head and
crown OF the animal creation; and it is
curious how this highest type OF plant
always is found only where man, the
highest type of animal life is found, and
where he dwells or cultivates the soil.
1t is never found apart from him; it fol-
lows him wherever he goeS-tO America,
Australia and New Zealand; and there in
the new home il becomes a silent but elo-
quent reminder of the dear old land he
may never see dgaiE.-New York Times.

TO A LARK.

o bonnie bird, thou surely art not wise
To nestle in this poor pretense of grass,
To bear aloft into our grimy skies
Thy song divine; thou who at choice
mightst pass,
On lighteSt soaring wing
To where the Spring indeed is Spring;
Where the live murmur' may be heard
OF all the woodlands quickening powers.
Reused from the Winter sleep by April
showers;
Or where, beneath blue heavens I'M
blurr'd
By smoke, young wheatfields spread
Their carpet green; or where thro' the
rich soil so red,
That knows not coal, the ploughman
drives his laboring team;
Or where the clear, cool stream
Runs by banks all primrose set;
There would lie and dream my dream
OF life without its modern fume and fret,
Were 1 like thee,
All fancy free,
Thou foolish bird.
Yet, churl am I to call thee fool;
For thee methinks that God has sent,
So to forbid our discomfort.
Our dullard hearts to school,
And teach that joy can live though YER
dure die,
And hope beam bright beneath darken-

the contract for the transfer Of the
title to the water which is TO be sent
through the pipe line was signed by
every interested person. AS is gen.
orally known by the people who are
acquainted with the Ophir district, the
waters of Ophir creek flow over a
sandy bed and it is estimated that the
loss by percolation is not less than so
per cent. Colonel Wall and his asso-
ciates propose to go up the creek sew
eraI miles and pipe the water over
the sandy stretches This will save a
splendid body of water and after TAX
ing out enough for the needs of the
entire Mercur district, based on lib
eral estimate the new water system
people will turn down to the farmers
below consdera oily more water than
they would otherwise have had. Thus
is the piping of the water going to
save materially in the volume of wa
ter to be used by the farmers. With
such a proposition before them it is
hardly likely that the users of the
stream will raise any rumpus. but, on
the other hand, they will give their
hearty thanks to Colonel Wall and his

work the inventor has yet tackled,
but he has demonstrated that the ma
chine will cut its way through any
obstruction, which is not harder than
the specially hardened steel which
makes up the knife, and make good
progress at that. He has contracted
to put the Gottschalk tunnel in for SO
per foot the usual cost of this class
of work being five times that amount.
1t is anticipated that the tunnel will
be completed within the next thirty
days.
While in this city since the organi-
cation of his company, DeGolyer in
terested a number of wealthy local
people in his enterprise, among them
one of the shrewdest bankers of the
local financial world and he carried
back with him sufficient capital to
make a splendid start with the. de-
velopment work in hand.
It is the intention of the company to
in the very near future equip the pro-
perties with forty stamp mill, to be
located at the mouth of the main
working tunnel, and later two other
plants are to be put in. There is an
abundance of water in the neighbor-
hood of the mines and water power
may be used. These mines are To-
Gated in Calaveras county, California.

President De Golyer of the recently
organized Gottschalk Gold Mining
and Milling company, has gone back
to California for the purpose of being
present at the Inauguration of work
on the new tunnel for which he let
a contract several days before leaving
the golden state for Utah. This tun-
mel is to be $50 feet in length and will
cut the vein of one of the properties
at a depth of go feet and also serve
as a means of opening up on an ex-
tensive scale every one of the proper
ties in the GottschaIk group. 1t will
be driven in a novel manner by
means of a novel invention recently
patented by a man from Washington.
This machine will literally gnaw its
way into the mountain through the
heavy limestone and quartz, by means
of a revolving bit or knife, much af-
ter the principle of the snow plough,
except that the KNIT cuts straight in
and is moved into place by a series
of screws and sets right close up to
its work. This is the first tunnel

CADETS OF ROYAL, HoUsEs.

We English are monarchists from d. be-
lief that the European peoples are not
yet civilized enough to manage republics,
from an intense dislike to Rlunge into the

from the conviction that the royal stand
ard is the symbol which binds our possess
sionS together. ana that with the throne
the empire would depart But We are
also convinced that in every country the
most difficult burden which the throne
has to bear is the royal family. In every
country, from Russia to Servia, the story
is always the same, that the people dis

piciouS aversion which is deepened rath-
er than lessened by the reverence for the

What was the sweetest thing
In all my day;

With laugh and sigh,
And dregs Of pain lie deep in pleasure S

And in our fancy memory carves her

MAKING VERY GOOD PROGRESS.
Trench OF the Ophir-Mercur Pipe
Line One-Third Completed.

One-third OF the trench for the
Ophir-Mercur pipe line has now been
completed, or at least. one-third of the
earth has been removed. In the Ophir
canyon some two miles of the trench
leading from the proposed inlet of the
system TO the location of the pumping
station. was finished up early in the
week and the force of workmen is now
proceeding with good speed up the
hill and over the divide between the
canyon and the Camp Floyd district.
Colonel Wall was at the Cullen yester-
day and stated that the progress being
made is perfectly satisfactory to the
promoters of the enterprise, and the
system will be ready for the delivery
of the>water within the time specified
in the contracts Some of the piping
and machinery for the pumping station
should commence to arrive within the
next few days.
Colonel Wall brands as utterly with
out foundation the oft-repeated state
ments that there is any trouble be-
tween him and the farmers who have
claims on the waters of Ophir creek,
as TO the division Of the stream; but,
on the other hand, states that every
thing has been amieably adjusted and
