THE ROTATION OF CALENDARS.
From The London Chronicle.

From The London Chronicle
An evening contemporary has been informing
its readers that they the same calendars
every twenty years-when the dates of the
months fall on the same days of the week
thereby avoiding the expense of five almanaeS
for the present century. But here is something
even better than that. Those persons who have
the double advantage of ancient family and
careful forefathers. by turning up the calendars
unfortunately, they are not printed ones-for
the twelfth century by solomon Jarchus, will
find the days and dates coincident with the
present century. Such persons can save the
expense of buying for one hundred years. Again,
those with frugal mind who have preserved
the almanacs of the nineteenth century VIII
avoid an outlay for calendars of the century
commencing January l, 2201, the dates for
the hundred years following viii be coincident
with these of the last century. But life i5

PROFITS OF THE INDUSTRY.
1t is very difficult to set any approximate esti
mate of the value of the pearl and shell indus
estimates the number of "clammers'' at work
along the whole river at five hundred An aver
age of three tons per week of shells for each
man at SIS per ton would represent $4,000 per
week, and during the season of twenty-fOur
weeks total of S-SS 900
This is exclusive of the pearls and slugs found.
low estimate for the river from Prairie du
CHEN to st. Paul would be 100000 year.
The total value of the industry is therefore in
round numbers not far from 100000 per

siders and not natives of the city Early in the

at present The, pearl hunters assert that the

say this is bosh. that the CLAIMS growing
wiser and are sleeping now with their mouths
shut.
These clam beds renewed in from five to
seven years. A plausible explanation for the
seeming failure of the beds given by
resident of Red Wing who has watched the
development of this industry from it's incipiency.
He asserts that when clam shell is touched
by anything it instantly closes it's shell and
ing over the same spots and falling to make any
catches for this season lead the ignorant clam

 Arizona Democrat: Goldberg Broth CTS of Phoenix are engaged in mining near Wickenburg and have ten men employed. This is the property where so many nuggets were found about ten year ago.

SU far all the gold has been found on the surface, the formation being an i'm mense white quartz blowout, but Goldberg Brothers are having a shaft sunk, con tident that when so much free gold was found on the surface there most be more below.
