The mill will probably be located at
Squaw Springs, four and one-half miles
east of Randsburg
An immense traction engine, capable
OF hauling forty tons of ore at one load,
will soon replace the present mode OF
ore transportation by mule teams. A
San Jose capitalist is now in Randsburg
arranging the detail, studying roads,
grades, etc., preparatory to the arrival
of the big machine ore-hauler.
The Johannesburg Townsite Company
is erecting steam pump at its new
we'll. There is now sufficient water
developed at Johannesburg to supply a
town with population of 10000. With
railroad facilities, and large mum Der
of rich mines in the vicinity, the town is
bound to grow.
A remarkable ore body has been un-
covered in the Tom bstone district, only
mile from the Pearce mine. George
Fits of Tom bstone has been working
the property for upwards of one year,
but with very Indifferent success till a
few days ago, when one of the richest
gold bearing lodges ever seen in Arizona
was uncovered, and thorough explora-
ton has only demonstrate that it is
permanent.
The latest excitement is the dry dig
glngs in the very heart of Randsburg.
A week ago one man took a machine
out and commenced to dry-wash near
Butte avenue. Now it has been ascer-
tanned that there are prehaps hundred
little gulches in and.around town which
will pay handsomely to dry-wash. A
small army of spectators are out daily
observing the modus operandi of ex-
tracing gold, and the busy ..whirr of
the dry-washing machines can be heard
from dawn until dark each day.
q The steamer Mohave returned the

ping to consumers and refners all over
the United States in sack lots, says the
Yuma Sun. These shipments are
simply intended as samples, to induce
the product of the mines, which will
doubtless in the future supply large
percentage of the sulphur consumed in
this country. There is perhaps no other
place in North America where so enor-
nous deposit of almost zpure sulphur
exists as this one.

Names of Fruits.

A London fruit dealer, writing to the
Anglo Californian, calls attention to the
strange names under which pears and
plums reach that market from Califor-
MIA. The correspondent says:
experts in the trade here are sur
prised at the pears and plums which
reach us under names different from
those in use in this country. Last week
few cases of pears arrived under the
name Of Fox pear, and they turned
out to be one of the oldest England
varieties grown-Marie Louise. It is
only question of time for us to be able
to classify each pear under the name it
is known by in Great Britain. Evil
IDENTIFY the importers of the fruit trees
in the original instances sold them
under their own name; as Bartlett was
certainly the first person. who intro
duced the William pear into America
and called it after himself"
The Bartlett is pear which has OBJ
tanned different name in this country.
1t is we'll known in England as the.Will-
Jams pear, while in France it is called
the Bon Chretien.

Bulletin No. 80 of the Colorado Ex-
pertinent Station is a rather technical
study of alfalfa and other leguminous
hays with the view of discovering what
difference, if any, exists in the feeding
value of different cuttings and of old

conclusion reached is that alfalfa hay
improves, rather than deteriorates with
age. In every instance but one out of
seventeen trials more proteids were
found In old hay than in samples of the
same hay when freshly cut.

An epidemic Of suicide has struck
some Of the large cities. Poison seems
to be the favorite means adopted by
the poor creatures who desire to kill
themselves. And in spite Of the laws
prohibiting the sale Of poisons, except
under certain restrictions, there seems
to be no difficulty experienced by any
one who wants 1t in buying morphine
and other deadly drugs. The laws
ought to be enforced and made more
stringent in this regard, and should in
clude such poisons as paris green and
carbolic acid. There is no reason why
these poisons should be allowed to be
sold without restriction. They are OF
very limited use. Paris green Is used
by farmers and fruit-growers to de-
stroy noxious insects, but 1t Is of little
or no use in a city. Carbolic acid Is
disinfectant, but there are other less
dangerous disinfectants. Neither OF
these drugs ought to be handed out to
children and young people, nor ought
any active poison to be sold except un-
der careful restrictions. Doubtless sui
cides will find some means Of carrying
out their purpose, but the community
Is bound to do all that is possible to
prevent self-murder.

w. T. Stead, editor Of the Review or
Reviews, has been giving his views on
American women, and advancing the
opinion, among others, that English
women are treated with greater re-
spect by men than American women.
In support Of his statement he cites the
stately ceremonial politeness to wo-
men" displayed by Thomas Carlyle.
This is an unfortunate illustration.
Americans have heard of Jane Carlyle,
and will have trouble in remembering
that Thomas displayed any stately
ceremonial politeness toward her. AT
all events, they are likely to prefer the
sort they get from the common and less
stately" American man.

Ore running nearly $1,000 to the ton

While the autumn drought was not
attended with such disastrous forest
fires as many that have devastated por-
west in years past, the fires were dan
gerous enough to call public attention
to the growing need Of stronger feder-
al measures for the preservation Of
these forests The resolutions adopted
by the national irrigation congress at
Lincoln, Neb.. Endorsed the policy Of
forest reservation as indicated in the
orders Of President Harrison and Pres
ident Cleveland, may be taken as a
very reliable reflection Of public opin-
ion on this question. 1t Is true that no
edict Of the government could stay the
devouring element that lays waste such
large areas Of our pine lands during the
dry spells every fall, but 1t is conceded
that these fires might be prevented by
an extensive system of forest police Or
wardens, similar to that employed in
many countries. The fires could also
be checked by fixing very severe pen
alties for the punishment Of those who
are guilty Of criminal carelessness and
recklessness in attempting to clear
lands in this manner, thereby endan-
gering millions of dollars worth Of
property. No punishment could be too
severe for men who will deliberately
place in jeopardy hundreds of lives and
vast areas of valuable pine timber. The
rapid disappearance Of American for.
ests is matter Of serious concern. Tho
corporate and individual timber
thieves, together with those who wan
tonly and recklessly abuse the cutting
permits granted by the government,
are making heavy inroads upon our
forest wealth. With this class Of Of
tenders the government can and should
deal vigorously. The government
should not only take measures for the
prompt punishment Of those who waste
the timber and abuse the permits 10
cut from the public domain, but should
devise a system Of patrol that will pre-
vent the destruction Of our forests by
confagration.

A New Fruit.
J. A. Murrietta, residing on College
street, Los Angeles, has demonstrated
that a valuable food product, practic-
ally unknown in this latitude, can be
successfully and pro6tably grown in Los
Angeles county. Mr.. Murrietta has
been experimenting in the cultivation
of the Alligator pear, food fruit, we'll
known in Mexico and in the Sandwich
Islands, and which has grown rapidly
in popular favor in San Francisco,
where it is imported and sold in steadily
increasing quantities.
At his home on College street, Los
Angeles, Mr.. Murrietta has tree in
full bearing, which this season produced
nearly 300 perfect pears, worth at retail
in the San Francisco and Los Angeles
markets $l35.
The tree in question is six years old
and is grown from seed obtained from
Mexico. The Hawaiian fruit is of a
finer quality and commands ready
sale in San Francisco, where it's value
as table salad is recognized.
The Hawaiian tree thrives we'll in
this climate, as is demonstrated by a
variety from the islands, grown from
seed by this same gentleman, who has
made such success with the Mexican
variety. Ell. Miller of Cahuenga is ex-
perimenting with the Alligator pear,
and has some young trees under cultiva-
ton which show every sign of hardi-
hood and future profit.
