more than 3 per cent Of culls, and oys>
ters under inches in length over all,
tip to tip" evidently basing the law
upon the restrictions required for the
protection of the bars in Franklin
county, where the conditions are en-
tirely different. The conclusion In
culling, the cleavage of the shell from
either the Gull or mature oyster that is
likely to occur, exposes it to damage,
either in transit, or as an immature
oyster for future use. This refers to
shell oysters gathered from the natur-
al beds in the marshes.
AS to the proper density for the sue
cessful culture Of the oyster in Florida
waters, 1.O11 is the lowest, and 1.O1S
is the highest, though 1902 will serve
to keep up an existence for a limited
period. Of the higher densities, 1.O25
is rather more than is conducive to
the best interests of the oyster. The
measurements are made with the sail
nOmeter, pure water being 1000 The
density near Smyrna inlet, taken daily
by me for several months, ranged
from 1921 to 1.O24. A test made at
Daytona, December 3d. 1898, indicated
1.OO92 The same time at Port Or
ange, 1,O154, and at New Smyrna, L.
O23O, covering a distance of sixteen
miles. A corresponding statement Of
the densities in Apalachicola bay, TAX
en- from the report of a government
survey in 1896, gives the following in
different localities: 1.OO44, 1.OO62, t.
DOGS, 1.OO7S, 1.O197, 1,OS1O, 1,O217, l.
O234.

10 briefly enumerate the prospective
results that may arise from a greater
or less expenditure of time and money,
in different locations, is the design of
this article. To properly classify the
conditions that exist in individual To-
calities is, therefore, of great import
ance as to the final outcome.
Condition of Bottom Required. Of
the greatest Importance OF all is the
proper density or salinity of the water,
with reasonable prospect of it's con-
tinuance. The next most important
condition is the bottom, which should
be sufficiently hard to prevent the
young oyster, during it's period of fix
alton, from being smothered in mud
or covered with sand. This can he
largely overcome by labor, if the facili-
ties for procuring shell are convenient,
though it is best to locate oyster beds
where the bottom is sufficiently hard
to walk upon, if possible. But, in
places, there are many apparently good
bottoms that are untitled for the pro
pagation of the oyster, by reason Of
the presence of sulphur springs ooz
ing through the soil, which destroy
the food of the oyster, aud are, there
fore, to be discarded. Where oysters
naturally abound, other conditions be-
ing equal, it is generally safe to en-
gage in their culture, on Il small scale
at least
Another impOrtan matter to be
taken into consideration, especially
upon the eastern coast of the State, is
the depredations caused by the drum
fish, Pogonias Cromis, which should
not be COMPOUNDED with the red drum,
Sciaenops Ocellatus, or channel bass.
The gray drum generally range in
schools among the oyster beds and
bars, and are able to crush a full-siZed
oyster in their jaws. These fish,
which sometimes weigh as much as
fifty pounds each, entirely destroy
cultivated oyster bed if permitted to
continue their depredations
Having enumerated the possible inn
pediments of the oyster culturist in
east Florida waters, a reference as to
why some localities in the State are
better than others so far as cOmpeti-
tive production is concerned may not
be amiss. The habitation of the Oys-
ter is it's shell, and the facility with
which it can build it's house in one To-
cality over another (the food produce
ton being equaD is in favor of that
section wherein the waters Of it's en-
vironment are impregnated with lime,
the result of the proximity of large
rivers which drain the surrounding
country which naturally, to insure
swiftness of current, would indicate
considerable watershed. These cond1-
lions exist, to remarkable extent, in
Alphabetical bay, on the west coast,
where the oyster industry is second
to no other portion of the State. A
comparison of the oyster from that Sec
ton, and those of the eastern coast is
much in favor Of the west coast as
regards size of meat and thickness Of
shell, though the American coast Oys-
ter is superior in flavor, by reason OF

Imaginary Mines.

The St. Louis Globe Democrat of recent date contained the following:
 Geo. F. Thomas, Jr., who with his father, Geo. F. Thomas, Sr., is en- gagged iD silver mining near Phoenix, Arizona, is at the Planters. He started few days ago oD tour for his health throughout the northern and eastern states On the subject Of miGing in his district, MT. Thomas said: "The Phoenix country is not attracting the amount of attentioa from miners and prcspectOrs that 1t once did The Klondike excitement took most of the 'floaters' out of our section, and then the fact that there have been no particularly rich strikes there lately has allowed interest to die out. However, most of the stay. CTS who have money invested in min ing property are doing well. We have three mines within radius of Lhir. teen miles of Phoenix. They are known as the Northeast, the Tft and Lhe Handy Ranche. WILh full crews, working two shifts day, we can take out of these three shafts about l4O tons of rough ore every twenLy-fUur hours, which will yield about l5O pounds Of silver to the ton. The rough ore is made up of d mixture of earth, coal, Iron aud silver. It is first subjected tO d sitting process, by which the cnaresest Of tue refuse is rejected, after which it Is mixed with twenty-four to thirty-six hours. At the end of this time the foreign mat ter--cOal, earth, eLc.-is at the bot tom of the vat; uexJ comes the water, while thin cuagulated film of silver lies between the water and oil. This is skinned off and seut east tu the smelUer>, where it must be burnt be- fore it will harden. Silver Is rarely found in nuggets as gold k, though It does sometimes appear iii that form.
 Il Mas Ouin iu that country, and have lived there all my life, su Of course am quick tu notice any differ ence of customs that may appear out side of Inc mining districts. The most striking difference to me k the l fact that men everywhere else seem to be close listed l guess it's because people dvwn there are too lavish with their money. They never think oi saving anything, but live from hand to mouth. It's an example of the old say ing: Easy made, easy spent
