ST. LOUIS GOLD MINE.
Traces Of the Metal Once Found With.
in the City limits.

Traces of the Metal Once Found With
in the City Limits.
st. Louis has never been known as
gold mining center, but there was once
a gold mine within the limits of the.
city, and, what is more, it yielded gold,
which is more than great many gold
mines in the Rockies have done.
In the sixties of the last century
there was a well dug on hill just
east OF Carondelet park, and the well
dIggers, noticing some bright, spar
king yellow particles in the clay at
the bottom, did little washing on
their own account and found several
grains of gold in the pan The news
soon got abroad, and two examiners
from the west who were living in the
neighborhood quickly got the idea that
there was money to be made in st.
Louis gold mining, so they sank shaft
not far from the well, fully expecting
rich returns from their work. They
did actually find gold, but in quaint
ties so small that they estimated a
yield Of about 10 cents per ton of clay.
so they filed up the hole and gave up
the undertaking in that place as bad
job.
But they had all the miners enthu-
siasm, and the fact that they found
gold at all merely stimulated their zeal
&C g. - &: another place 81 thav went
4he side Of o hill whore the GlaiZe
creek had washed away the earth and
made clay precipice They dug hole
there, where they also found traces of
the precious metal, but in no greater
quantities than before. Then they went
up the creek about a quarter of mile
and sank another shaft, with no better
result. They spent the whole spring
and summer digging holes around in
the neighborhood of the park, but the
only benefit they realized from their
work was the sobriquet two luna
ties" and people laughed at them so
much that both left and went back
west. where digging holes in the search
for gold was taken more seriously than

Thea,er Seats.

The seats were in the orchestra on
the theater's left. THE left side Of the
house always sells out first" said the
box office man. Everybody seems to
prefer it to the right. ! don't know
why. Boxes especially-we can sell
two left to one right box every time.
Nobody takes the right side for choice.
And there is no reason for this. As
much goes on in the right extremity Of
the stage as in the left-we proprietors
sIwars LOOK after that-and you see
Just as much from the right as from
the left side Why, then, Is the left
side always at a premium New Or

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-The stock
market was under some constraint to-
day. The brisk advance which was In
augurated yesterday was not pursued
with confidence. Gains were more
than wiped out in the final selling.
The decline in currency premium gives
solid ground for satisfaction. The net
result is the reduction to S2,170,350,
compared with $54 JOB 500, maximum
deficit, for the week ending November

Notes from England.

Mr.. Halton Turner, of Borthorpe,
Compton, Guilford, in renewing his
subscription to the Agriculturist says:
among other things: my son and
company of agriculturists in Lin
colnshire greatly enjoy your sugges
tons. They are growing alfalfa on
larger scale than hitherto in this
country. | was much interested in
your correspondent, George Wright
and shall be obliged if you will send
copies of your volume XXXIII., num-
Der As, to inclosed addresses, with in
structions where seed may be secured
for they will most likely have lost
by this time the seeds off the trees
they have, never having thought Of
gathering them, and shall hope in
March they will SOW them, and that
when | come out the following year I
shall have thousand small trees to
plant out at both places. Half a dozen
camphor trees were sent me by post
from Washington fifteen years ago
one of which must be near 50 feet
high at Arlington. perhaps that de-
partment may supply seed). I have
nine acres of orange and grapefruit
at Oak Hill, Fla, many old trees as
we'll as young"

The New Shippers Association.

The Florida Fruit and Vegetable
Shippers Association which was or
gained in Jacksonville last week
promises to be productive of great
good to those directly interested, and
through them to all the people of the
State 1t is hoped that the first mat
ter that shall engage the attention
of the officers will be the enrolment:
of every shipper in Florida, in order
that they may have the united sup
port of all whose interests are IN
volved in every effort that they may
make to secure better service and
more equitable rates.
Those who have been selected to
manage the affairs of the new asso-
citation are shrewd business mer, and
if one may judge from the sentiments
expressed at the meeting for orgeni-
cation they will not be long in find
ing the proper remedy for the ship
pers' troubles, nor will they be easily
misled by the sophistry and specious

Orange Rot.

The statements made in the article
on this subject this week will cause
much surprise among orange growers
