A" Naturally all this takes cap
ital-and naturally the public is
invited to subscribe to the stock
of'many new corporations. All
this is perfectly legitimate-car-
ries with ii no threat-exerts no
harmful influence. On the con-
trary, every new producing mine
exploited adds to wealth.
" Talk about danger from ty-
ing-up of capital is simply non
sense. The capital used in work.
ing mines is not tied up--it goes
out Immediately for wages,
plants, machinery and other nee
essaries, and is in constant
healthful circulation.
" But, it is urged, there are
fake mining schemes. Of course
there are. So is there fraudulent
banking, but we don't stop using
banks because now and then ras-
cality gets foot-hold in finance.
There is such a thing as forgery,
but We don't stop signing checks
on that account. Burglars do
business, but We don't quit fur
nishing our houses. Even upon
the sacred floor of the Stock EX-
change securities are sometimes
floated which prove to be with
out value.
" The fake end of the mining
business is no more prominet than
the fake end of any business. 1t
is up to the buyer to investigate
what he is buying. The foolish
will be duped-the careful will
not be.
" The mining boom has come
to stay"
The land of Mrs. Mary NJ. Will
hottie, deceased Quapaw, will be

right in the heart of Baxter

moud c mine is located. Bids will
be opened on the 18th of Deccm-
Der, and any information wanted

7. f. Whitlock of Springfield,
Mo-, was here last week looking
after his mining and business in
terests. Mr.. Whitlock and others
have secured a half interest in
the Busy Bee mine and from now
on you can bet the development
will DO swift. The Busy Bee is
already into a fine body of lead,
and FROM what we have been able
to learn, as soon as the prospect

fed it will be built. Both Of the
present prospect shafts will be
pushed on down.

CALIFORNIA; Fruit Crop.

Information resulting from careful
inquiry concerning the present pros
poets of the California fruit crop is
: 10 the effect that the recent CONFUSION
will not diminish Its value by a single
dollar. The only considerable locality
where fruit was the leading CONNER
cial interest was in the Santa Clara
valley, where the property losses were
large, but fruit suffered no injury
whatever. Apricots, the earliest fruit
this year on account of climatic pc
culiarities, the result Of too abundant
rains, unseasonably prolonged. Cher
lies, at the present moment, are in
splendid condition, and the prospect,
barring future eventualities, is most
excellent. Plums, should every indi-
cation be fulfilled, will be IN large
supply and better In quality than for
many years. In each of these fruits,
row in an advanced stage, careful
inspection of the orchards over wide
area fails to show that single apricot,
peach (also in large prospective sup
Ply, cherry. or plum, was shaken from
the branches by the shock which pros
trated some of the finest and largest
buildings in every community where
its violence was greatest. 1t is yet too
early to make observations on the flu
ture of the grape crop. 1t is invariably
tho rule in European countries that
IAN earthquake year always assures
full vineyard" and if the rule proves
good in California, the grape crop of
the present year should prove phe-
Eomenal one. A competent authority
estimates the quantity of wine con-
sumed in the late San Francisco fire as
exceeding 100000 gallons, or nearly
one-half years production, mostly Of
old, high-quality wines; therefore
there will be demand for every gallon
which the vineyards can produce. The
excellent prospect in every agricultural
product is distinctly encouraging to
the state, though many months must
elapse before mercantile interests will
benefit from the new supply.

City's Good Investment.

Father Knickerbocker has been very
successful with all his real estate VEN
lures, but never more so than in the
case of Central park. Less than half
century ago the present Central park
vas waste of rocks and Swamps. The
city Of New York obtained control of
the territory and issued bonds to the
amount of 100000 for the acquisition
Of the land. Bonds to the amount of
100000 were issued at the same time
for the improvement OF the Central
park. AS this improvement progressed
other bonds for s1,725,OOO, known as
Central park bonds" were issued, and
Etill more were sold for the building of
the arsenal in the Central park and
for the reservoir there, bringing up
the total amount of cost to the city of
the Central park to $12, 500, 900. This
was the first COST" states the Sun,
ana an additional sum of 81, 500, 900 has
been expended for construction and
improvement of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art, the One Hundred and
Tenth street and Eighth avenue en-
trance and sundry park buildings. In
ell $15,000,OO0 has been expended by
the people of New York for the acqui-
sition and improvement of Central
park. The assessed value of the land
included within the boundaries of Cen
trail park is now 1885, 100000 AS a
matter of fact, the land included with
i'll Central park is probably worth $780,
100000.

Reform in Spelling.

Five out of nine members of the New
York board of school superintendent
have declared in favor of reformed
spelling. The Cleveland Plain Dealer
thinks they may use this for them
selves If they like, but that they should
not attempt to introduce it in the
schools. 1t continues. Language can
not be changed by rules or legislation.
Il is natural growth, and when there
IS a natural demand for change that
change is gradually accomplished, no
one knows how. The efforts OF a few
pedagogues, not one of whom is an au-
thority, for an instantaneous trans
formation will necessarily be futile, re-
gardless of the merits of the changes
proposed. 1t would be indefensible to
teach children to misspell words mere
~ because handful of more or less
learned gentlemen have decreed that
the words shall be misspelled. The
English language has been made and
will be modified oy the usage OF its
best writer's and speakers, and the
latest little group of spelling reform
advocates is by no means a galaxy OF
