B|SBEE VOTERS REGISTERING
 SLOWLY
Only Half of Total Voters Have Availed Themselves of
 Privilege.

Up to date nearly nine hundred citi zens of the Bisbee precinct have de, clared their intention of becoming electors at the coming election. Jus, tice Mcdonald reports 300 and Judge Murphy has recorded 400. Registra. tion at both registering offices is pro, ceeding slowly.
 By a peculiar construction of the law it is assumed that all voters yot, ing at the coming primaries must have had their names upon the old register or upon the new. It is, there fore, incumbent upon all who wish to exercise the privilege to make haste and register. The date of the prima. ries has not yet been set, but will be announced soon.
 It is expected that Bisbee will this year register 1900 voters. Last year with Lowell precinct and Bisbee in- cluded some fifteen hundred voters registered. Lowell will cast 600 this year, but with the increase in popula- tion Bisbee is expected to overcome the Lowell loss and make 1900.
 The county register last year con- tained the names of 5261 citizens, and nearly the entire strength of the vote was boiled. This year it is expected that 1000 will register. At the coun- ty recorders office 2400 registration blanks have been received and placed upon the tally sheets.
 The books are open until twenty-one days before the coming election, after which date all are disqualified who do not exercise the privilege in advance.

about the middle of April and is
completed. by the middle of May.
The seed used ls of the short
staple variety. The land is plow.
ed from 4 to 6 inches deep, and
laid off with the shovel plow,
the fertilizer being drilled in
and bedded with a turning plow.
The rows are set from 3 to 81 feet
apart. The usual fertilizer is cot
ton seed, sometimes composted
with phosphates and stable man
ure, and applied at the rate of
% bushels of seed and 200 pounds
of acid phosphate to the acre.
About 2 or 2! bushels of seed are
required TO plant 1 acre, the
seed being usual y sown by hand.
When q stand is perfected the
thinning process follows, the
stalks being left about 6 ,nches
apart. About four plOwing suffice
to keep the soil in good condi-
ton. Cotton picking begins the
last of August, and harvesting is
completed by Christmas. No
effort is made to select the
seed from the best-developed
plants, the farmers not seeming
to appreciate the fact that they
can do much in this way to make
the crop profitable.
The value of the cowpea in
enrichlng the soil is partially
recognized, but more attention
should be given this crop by the
majority of the farmers. A COM
mon practice is to plant COwpea
in the corn at the last cultivation.
The fodder is gathered by hand
from the stalks and the corn har-
vested, and later the cowpeas
are cut, cured, and stored for
forage. The cornstalks are left
in the field until the following
spring, when they are gathered
and burned. A few of the best
farmers in the county recognize
the economy of gathering the
stalks and utilizing them for

Ight-gray or ashy white SILT loan,
resting upon yellow and slight
ly heavier silt loam at from 10
to Is inches, which is underlain
by stiff yellow to red clay also
containing silt in the upper few
inches. This in turn gives way
to the underlying tale schists.
Where the weatherlng Of these
has not been deep, and they ap
proach within 3 feet of the sur
face, the characteristic greasy
feel of soapstone is impaired to
the soil. Quartz fragments are
conspicuous in places in both soil
and subsoil, and frequently
quartz veins are to be observed
In the latter. These have little or
no effect upon the agricultural
value of the soil. Fine sand is
often mixed with the soil, so that
the dividing line between this
soil type and the Cecil fine sandy
loam ls somewhat arbitrary, the
two types closely sembling each
other, and having the same origin
and surface features.
A distinct phase of the Cecil
silt loan is found In the north
eastern part of the county, in the
vicinity of Tradesville. Here the
underlying tale schists come
near the surface, often outcrOp-
ping. Forming, as they do, a bar
rier to cultivation, much of the
area occupied by this phase Is
unfit for agricultural purposes
When the tale states are found
within S or 10 inches Of the sur
face, the soil carries large guam
titles Of fragments which are also
strewn thickly over the surface.
The Cecil silt loan, locally
known as white land" is second
in extent in the area, forming bv
far the greater part Of the north
eastern part of the county, and
occurring In more limited areas
In other parts of the county. 1t
occupies the undulating and well
drained uplands, and owes its
origin to the dlsintegration Of
talCOse schists and states. Its
characteristic timber growth has
caused 1T to be known in some
localities as "blaCk- Jack" land
Oak, hickory, persimmon, and
pine also formed a part Of the
original timber, though most Of
the land is now cleared. As is
the case with the other upland
types, the Cecil silt loam is cult
yated TO cotton, corn, and to some
extent to cOwpeas. The yield of
cotton is from one third to three
fourths Of a bale, and of corn from
S to Is bushels per acre, thus not
differing from the yields on the
types already described.
CECIL FINE SANDY LOAN.
The surface soil Of the Cecil fine
sandy loan consists Of light
gray fine sandy loan, grading into
a pa'e-ye,Iow fine sandy Ioam,
slightly more compact. The s,--
face soil extends to depth of
about u inches. Beneath this ig
found a yellow, or yellow notified
with red, subsoil, containing some
sand for a few inches nits upper
part. The whole is undorlain at
depth greater than 3 feet by

mater1al occur In the suDSOll.
In structure the soil is an inter
mediate type between the Cecil
sandy loam and the Cecil silt
loan, though not necessarily so In
occurrence. 1t grades into each
of these, but so gradually that an
arbitrary boundary separates
them. Its largest distribution is
In one continuous body, the cen
tral point of which iF about l mile
south of Dry Creek. Much smaller
areas are found elsewhere. The
topographic position of the soil is
similar to that of the Cecil sandy
loam and Cecil silt loam that is,
on the undulatIng or level up
lands. The drainage is almost
perfect.
The Cecil fine sandy loam has
been formed chiefly by the wealth
ering of talcose schists and states,
though some other altered rocks
enter into it's formation. The tim
Der growth consists of hickory,
oak, and pine, with gums in the
swales and depressions.
The two staple crops of the
county, cotton and corn, are cul-
tivated upon this type, as well as
cowpeas, the last to a small ex-
tent. The average yields per acre
are as follows: Cotton, about 200
pounds of lint; corn, from S to Is
bushels. The soil is also adapted
to stone fruits and small grain.-
Alfalfa, it is thought, could be
successfully grown upon it.
NORFOLK SAND.
The Norfolk sand is coarse to
medium gray, incOherent sand,

ticles are to a large degree round.

soil contains no quartz fragments

powders have pushed up through
the mantle of sand the product Of
decOmpOsed granite considerably
mOdities the soil, and in these
cases gravel and angular quartz
sand occur. This phase. however,
is very limited in extent as com
pared with the distribution Of the

MEADOW.

Meadow is more or less heteroge
neous in its nature. In it's typical
phase it is q chocolate.brown or
reddish fine sandy loan, becom-
Ing somewhat heavier with depth.
1t sometimes develops into loan
or clay loam at depth Of Is or
Is inches, while the color be-
comes darker and the soil more
micaceous.
AS the type is subject to over
flow, the water, laden with sedi-
ments, has stood in the sweles. and
depressions. and upon evapora-
ton has left heavier soil than
that surrounding it. These places,
however, cover only small acre.
age.
The type is subject to varia-
tions along the Catawba River
and the larger creeks, rarely ex.
ceeding eighth Of mile in
width. 1t is subject to overflow
once every three or four years.
1t consists of the finer particles
which have been washed down
from the adjacent hillsides and
reworked by the streams with the
sediment of the latter. This al
luvlum is very productive.
The Meadow is. devoted to the
production of corn and small
quantities of sorghum. Corn av-
erages from 20 to 80 bush els per
acre. These "bottom lands" are
greatly sought after, notwith-
standing the risk of frequently
losinga crop. Some portions com
mand as much as $50 an acre.
WASHING AND OUTLYING.
The Cecil clay, Cecil sandy
loan, and, most markedly, the
Cecil gravelly loam are the soil
types most liable to damage from
washing and gullylng. AS to the
first two of these, this condition
may be attributed to the rolling
topography and fineness aud com
pactness Of the soil constituents,
whereby the water from heavy
rains is not allowed to enter the
soil except for few inches, but
runs off in rills, carrying with it
the fine soil PARTICLES in suspen
sion. These rills start little gull
lies, which, lett to themselves,
increase in size until they ser
iously affect the value of the
land. In the case of the Cecil
gravely loam its high position on
the uplands and the marked lack
of tenacity in both soil and sub
soil account for the serious ero-
sion and outlying which takes
place in this type.
With the clay soils especial at.
tention should be given to the
tillage of the land. Deep plow.
ing and thorough cultivation,
whereby the compact subsoil is
rendered more frlable and its
texture more open, will largely
prevent washing, as it tends to
minimize surface drainage and to
facilitate underdrainage. Terrac.
ing and contour cultivation
should be more generally practi,
ced, especially where the Cecil
gravely loan occurs. Putting
areas in sod. will help to prevent
soils which :have begun to gully
from suffering further damage

Death Of James Chatham.

James Chatham, the miner and
prospector who has been lying i'll at
the home of Mrs. Nary Dobbins for
some weeks, crossed the Great Di-
vide Thursday morning. He was a
victim of miners consumption. Jim
Chatham was a native of Ireland,
aged about 90 years. He was a resi-
dent of the Comstock in early days,
where he followed mining, and
gained considerable notoriety in pu.
gilistic circles. The only known
relatives of deceased are a niece and
nephew residing in jackson, Anna
dor county, Cal. Mr.. Chatham left
sufficient means to provide for de-
cent funeral and he was laid away
in the Mason Valley cemetery yes
terday. Mrs. Dobbins was very
kind to him during his last illness
and made all arrangements for his
burial, which was attended by quite
a number of friends.

A patent that promises to be of
great interest to mining men issued
by the government to the Central
Pacific Company has been recorded
in Washoe county. 1t gives the
railroad complete possession of GER
tain lands lying in the vicinity of
the Pyramid mining district, and
unlike all other patents issued since
1873, does not exclude mineral lands
from the grant. 1t is expected that
the news will be received with much
disfavor by prospectors who have
been working in that locality and
leaves only the mines that are al
ready patented open to development.
