flORlDA'S ADVANTAGES.

Cattle raising and beef packing IN
Florida on a large scale would be one
way to settle the trouble now being
caused by the Chicago packers, Sald H.
J, Christensen, OF White CITY, Few
DAYS ago. while talking "Florda L"
Postmaster Christensen, of White CITY,
and TRIBUNE man,
What We must have first, however
is way to get our products to market
and Gov. BrowaM may speedily settle
this question by building drainage
canal that will ultimately make deep
sea port at the mouth Of the st. Lucle
river.
Packing establishments can then be
built in this section at n profit, ana the
cattle industry will receive new impetus
Time was when fresh meat packing
could not be carried on in the South but
the advent of ice making machinery
has settled that matter.
But how about a fodder crop sald
the scribe. You know, in the west
the range cattle are generally kept up
and fed on corn. etc, a few months oe-
fore being sent to market
Oh, that's easy, said Mr., Christian
sen. And then followed description
of the various fodder crops that can be
raised in Florida at much less cost than
any similar crop could ever be raised
in the cattle raising section that now
control the trade.
Looked at in this light, the matter
does seem worth pushing, and once well
started the end could not be even sur
missed. Much land that is now waste
would be used prohtably for pasture
and for raising forage crops.
The packing and ice making plants
would bring much skilled help to the
section and in many ways upbuild the
section of the State,
But it all depends on Gov. Broward
and his scheme to drain Lake Okeecho'
bee and the glades. Once this project
is fairly launched, especially if route
via Stuart and the st. Lucie river or Fort
Pierce and the Indian River is selected,
THE TRIBUNE predicts an awakening il
business and industrial line that will be
revelation to even those optinnlstS
who have advocated similar ideas fol
years past.
Hurrah for Gov. Broward and his
canal l. but hurry 'em along please.

THE new press edition of the Jack
sonville Metropolis last Saturday was a
fine one in every respect, and shows up
well, not only for the enterprising pub
fishers of the Metropolis, but speaks
well for Jacksonville and all the East
Coast. The press is a GosS Straghtline
24-page machine, and enables the pa
per to accomplish much that has here
tofore been out Of its reach, Among
other things we hope the exchange ed
itor of the Metropolis will now have
time to see the East Coast exchanges,
and give this section Of the world a
show. The East Coast, especially the
southern part of it, does not get suf-
ticient recognition in the Metropolis.

KIM WORDS FoR NEvADA.
San Francisco Chronicle Says
Tins state Has Great Future.

After all the knocks by eastern
ignorant publications and Reno and
San Francisco yellow journals, the
following from the San Francisco
Chronicle, is refreshing: !,
"The story of the development OF
the new mining camps in central
Nevada. as related by United States
Senator Nixon. reads like a romance,
although collateral evidence is abun-
dant that it is all a reality. Young
as the towns of Tonopah and Gold
field are they are assuming the
nroportions and conditions OF long
established communities, the erec
tion OF substantial buildings OF
masonry furnishing proof OF the
faith Of the people in their per,
mapency, and the richness and
p~erpetuity of the productive mining
nroperties which have brought them
into being and on which they are de-
pendent. Other mining districts
have also been developed which give
promise OF yielding large mineral ce'
turns in future. The Developments
in the two chief camps of the central
mart of the state are stimulating
search for mineral deposits in other
sections which have hitherto been
neglected by the mining prospector.
1.-THE State Of Nevada is indeed
growing out Of that condition which
has prompted eastern critics in
particular to revile it in the past as
a pocket borough politically, owing
TO the limited number OF its inhab-
itants. and as a sagebrush waste be-
cause of its comparative %inferiority
Alphabetically to ONE other states.
But the mineral discoveries in Nevada
are breaking down the eastern
sheer rapidly as to its political
status, and the completion OF the
Federal Government arid land recla-
nation scheme will help to lift it to a
higher plane Alphabetically. A few
more discoveries like those OF Tono-
pah and Goldfeld, which have
created communities with popula-
tions ranging between 5000 and 1000,
will give a new turn to statistics IN
Nevada, and there is no good reason
TO doubt but what they will be made
in good season. Nevada's mineral
lied territory has been barely
scratched, except in spots, and yet
it is being recognized now by the
world as one OF the richest known
mining fields awaiting exploitation. -

Ida is RICH DISTRICT.
Many Properties Being DeveI-
oped and Much Ore in Sight.

The old Ida, or, as it was known
10 the early days of Nevada, Aida
district, is once more attracting the
attenting of capitalists and mining
men. Many promising properties
are beng developed and in several Of
the mines rich shipping ore is being
blocked out.
In the Florida mine the manage
ment has recently opened up a block
of ore worth more than $50, 900; this,
in addition to the regular ore supply,
places this mine beyond the point of
Speculative" The Florida Mining
company has recently erected a mill
ing plant on the property and the re-
suits Of handling the output from the
mine are indeed most satisfactory;
the resulting concentrates are said
to carry values ranging between
5000 and $500 per ton.
The Sunset property, which is sit
uated north of town, and adjoining
the Porto Rico and Alma groups,
has recently opened into a fine streak
Of ore showing free gold.
In the old Wisconsin, which is at
this time closed down temporarily,
there is a splendid ore streak which
assays away up in the hundreds Of
dollars. Some week ago-iust be-
fore the mine was closed down, pend
ing a sale-ore running 5000 IN gold
and 600 ounces in silver was said to
have been encountered in the deeper
workings of the mine.
The Alma is another group Of
claims situated in the hills just north
of town. The property, while only a
prospect, is one OF the remarkable
strikes of the Ida district, and is
being handled by the Hyde Bros,
who are successful mining men with
many years experience in Utah and
Colorado, as well as pioneers OF
southern Nevada. The Alma shows
a vein at surface % to 80 feet in
width, which pans free gold all the
way across, and assays from s. to
$115.
The New Centennial Mining com
pany is owner Of the Bonanza which
has a prospect of making one of the
biggest NINE in the camp.
The plans and specifications for the
addition which will be made to the
Florida mill at Ida have all been
prepared and are now being studied
by a number OF mill builders. 1t is
expected that the contract will be
awarded within the next few days.
Andy Mcdonald, f. G. Duval, Tom
Warner and Jack Curtin have re.
ceived the balance of their payment
from the sale of the Snowstorm mine
at Ida. The total amount received
was SIS, 900, $1,000 of it having beer
paid in some time ago. George
Moore and associates of Philadelphia
were the purchasers and the sale
vas made through the efforts o
Charley Krise.

While it is entirely lacking in veri-
f%cation, the impression is becoming
hourly stronger that John McKane,
representing the Schwab interests
in Nevada, has finally induced the
Montgomery interest in the Sho-
shone and Polaris to agree upon a
figure at which it is ready to retire.
With McKane in New York last
week, prior to bis sailing for Scotland
was Malcolm Macdonald, representing
the alternate interest in the extra
ordinary properties. 1t is not I'M
likely that Mrs. Montgomery, who
refused to ratify a sale at any figure
less than 49, 900, 600, has relaxed, it
is said that one-half OF 50, 900, 600,
shaken under the nose Of the owners,
was no inducement to her, and when
she said mo" it was as strong
an ultimatum as any ever syllabled
by woman's lips. She had a woman's
prerogatiye, however, and IL she has
changed her mind IL is no fellows
business. Whatever the status OF
negotiations, something OF definite
nature should be released in the next
few days.

1t lis a Volcano,

The editor Of the Lovelock Tribune
has made a personal Investigation OF
the alleged volcanic action thirty
miles from Lovelock, Humboldt
county, and gives the readers of his
paper the benefit Of his observations.
In the course Of a lengthy article, he
says; "Going to Trinity on the night
Of August 18th, we there stopped for
a few hours rest and to get Harry
Wheeler, the discoverer of the vol
canic action, to accompany us as
guide. The next morning, accom-.
panied by Mr.. Wheeler, mounted
upon bis faithful pony, Gypsy" the
journey was resumed. Upon reach
ing a saddlebaek, upon which Harry
was stationed, he having arrived at
that point by a short cut" be
pointed across the hills to where a
column of white fumes was arising
from one Of a series OF lava flows,
down low on the mountain side. This
was the volcano which we had driven
all these weary miles to see. Yet, ii
was all that Mr., Wheeler had repre-
sented, and with the lava flows that
could be seen on the sides of that and
adjacent hills, it was undoubtedly
volcanic action, which had been quite
extensive in the past, though Of little
force at present. We took several
pictures and then retraced our steps,
arriving in Lovelock at noon the
following daY."
