THE LEADING PEACH STATE
Georgia Has That Distinction Accord

Has Been Investigating.

A Georgia banker who has been In
vestigating the status Of the peach in
dustry of the country says:
Some kind friend, whose name has
eluded US, sent lot of peaches to the
convention of the Georgia Bankers as
ISOLATION. This reminds us that the
Georgia peach has held the lead in the
eastern market since 1902, and it Is
likely to be for years to come the lead
ing peach state in the union. The SUI
premacy has been wrested from Mary
land. Twelve years ago the order OF the
chief peach producing states was: Mary
land, 100000 trees; Delaware. 4,52O,-
600; New Jersey, 4,300,O00; Georgia.
3,70O,0O9.
"since that time the peculiar excel
lenco of soil and climate Of parts OF
Georgia for peach growing has been es-
.tablished, with the result that Georgia
has largely Increased the number of its
peach bearing trees, while in the other
states there has been diminution in
the number of trees. In the fall OF
1901, the number of peach trees report
cd in these states, and expected to DO
in good bearing in 1902. was: Georgia.
7,66O,O 900; Maryland, 4,015,0OO; New
Jersey, 2, 200, 900; Delaware 100000. In
the following year accordingly Georgia
had the bumper crop. She has so far
surpassed all other states in number OF
trees that she is likely to continue to be
the peach state par excellence for an in
definite time"

IT'S THE WAY YOU PUT IT.
Hair DYE Finds Sale as Boot Polish
When introduced as
Such.

Grigsby was a splendid agent in his
own trade, but lately he has taken up
a new line-a patent hair dye, relates
the Chicago Tribune.
He called at several suburban DWELL
ings, but as soon as he proclaimed his
businessman dye-the door was
slammed in his face.
At length he felt he must alter his
tactics, when the next door was opened
by a fearful looking female with forbid
ding scowl and a few scanty gray locks.
he commenced alphabetically:
Il beg, your. pardon-l was about to
introduce a new and wonderful hair
dye, but see it would be something for
which you would have no use."
The lady blushed and stammered, not
to say simpered:
NO, suppose not; but if it Is good
perhaps it might be used for something
else--a brown dye, think you said. I
should like some good brown boot pol
ish."
The very thing; it is magnificent for
both purposes. Two shillings-thank
YOU" And Grigsby had no difficulty in
getting rid of his hair polish. He never
says dye.

MATURITY. \ or THE. AFPLE.
IA Distinction Which Some Horttcul-
turists Arc Making in the Con-
dition of the Fruit. -

b., Some Of our horticulturists are max.
ing q difference between the mature
apple and the ripe apple, though the
general public recognizes no such dis
tinction. We will let our Horticultural
friends have their way. however. The
apple is mature when it has attained its
full growth. 1t is not ripe till 1t has
become mellow with the operations OF
sunlight, heat and time. The mature
apple is in the best shape for picking.
II it be left on the tree till 1t is fully ripe
1t will be a short keeper, while II It 10
picked ut the time of maturity It will
keep for long time even under usual
farm conditions. AS different varieties
of apples mature at different times it will
easily be seen that the mixed orchard Is
a hard one to keep track OF. The old
way Of harvesting was to begin to pick
the apples on certain date and then
take all as they came, the long keepers
and the short keepers, the mature apples
and the immature apples.
The mature apple is thing we have
to get acquainted with il we are to know
when it is mature If it is a Ben Davis.
it is mature very late, so late indeed
that in the vicinity of Wisconsin it gen.
orally has to be picked before it is ma
ture. This is the reason the Ben Davis
has lost its reputation with many peo-
pie. Having been picked before 1t was
mature it could not follow out the Usual
processes of ripening, and was always q
hard, poor favored apple. In regieos
where it has had time to mature before
picked it develops into fruit of go0d
flavor and texture, ripening naturally.
1t takes a study of fruits to Fnow
when each one natures, and this is q
subject that has up to the present time
received little attention. Men have
grown apples of certain varieties for a
long time and have never given the
question any consideration. The ma
turity of the apple is at last coming
in for it's share of discussion, and the
light is beginning to shine in dark
place.-Farmers' Review.

LAWS AFFECTING
MINING COMPANIES
Nevada Statutes Are Not Burd-
But They Must BE
Concerned With In
Every Respect.

The laws Of Nevada, as they refer
to and affect mining companies incor-
porated outside Of, but doing business
in this state, do not seem to be
burdensome or bothersome.
They provide that foreign corpor-
ations desiring to do business in Ne
vada must file "a properly anthem
ticated copy OF their certificate Of
Incorporation in the county record
er's office in each county in which
they intend to do business, and this
certificate must have a properly Ger
titled list of the officers Of the cor
poration, this list to be corrected as
often as changes in the Offices occur.
The statutes provide a penalty for
carrying on the business without fill
ing this certificate; failure to do so
being a misdemeanor.
As is customary in almost all states
and territories, the foreign corpora
tion must appoint an agent upon
whom all legal processes may be
served.
The session OF the legislature held
in 1901, passed al act requiring all
foreign corporations doing business
in Nevada to publish annual state
ments. Beginning with the year
1901 these statements are required
to be published in the month of Jan
uary and are to contain "a state
ment Of their last years business, =
said statements being published in
Nevada, for a period of one week.
And the secretary of the company
making this statement, is required
ITO file a copy with the several as
SCISSORS Of the state Of Nevada "
Failing to do this the corporation
is liable to a penalty Of 500 for each
month that the published statement
remains unified with the several as
SCISSORS Of the state.
The requirements above recited
se m to be all that is demanded of
foreign corporations operating in
Nevada, except, of course, to pay
their taxes.
As to taxes, the statutes provide
that mines and mining claims" are
not liable for taxation, for taxation
is levied on "alI proceeds of mines, -
though the tax is not levied on the
gross receipts but on the net return,

MINING CONCENTRATES.

A millsite may be located By a citi
zen Of the United States on the non
mineral public lands, but it is not
necessary that such millsite locator
have also a mining location in connec-
ton with the miIlsite. A site may
thus be taken for the location of a
custom mill or smelter.
Where the dump is settling rapid
liz at the front and there is danger of
the car getting beyond the control
of the trammer, accidents may be
prevented by providing a rope sup
piled with d hook at one end. The
rope is tied to a sleeper beneath the
track and the nook made fast in the
wheel frame of the car. 1t may then
be dumped without danger Of going
over the dump.
When application has been made
for a patent to a mining claim, the
applicant must continue to perform
the annual assessment work accord
ing to law until after the period of
publication. II, pending the patent
proceedings, the applicant fails to
perform his annual labor, the ground
becomes subject to relocation by
others; but after the period of publ
cation has elapsed, such relocator
can not inject himself into the patent
proceedings.
The best way to test rock sup
posed to contain gold is to pulverize
it ia a mortar, first thoroughly
cleansing the mortar and pestle to
avoid being "salted' by rich rock
which may previously have been
crushed in it. If the ore contains
~sulphurets, crush and concentrate in
a pan or hornspoon, dry and roast to
red heat to burn out sulpher. No
need to use salt in roasting. Grind
in a mortar aud pan as with quartz.
AS with the latter, if no gold is 90
tanned on carefully washing, have the
ore tested by reputable assayer.
When it becomes necessary to
place timbers in a shaft lined with
masonry, to carry guides, ladders,
etc, the ends of the main timbers
may be set in the masonry; but in
time they will rot, and the work OF
replacing them will be more expen.
sive than il the square set method Of
placing and wedging the timbers be
employed. The engineer in charge
of this work should be able to Judge
from conditions In neighboring mines
of the probable life Of tinbers under
such conditions and the economics of
the situation studied out.
