Trouble at the rlamanersley Mine.
The Mail had hoped that the Ham
mersley mine, under the superintend
ing of Judge Reed, would reclaim itself
from the grin of litigation, but it seems
to be written differently. Who is at
fault we are unable to state, but the fact
that labor claims are filed against the
mine would seem to indicate that it Is
not the laborers. Hero is how the
Grants Pass Mining Journal speaks of
the deal: '
"The dispute between Judge w. H.
Reed, lessee of the Ham mersley mine,
and his employes at the mine this week
reached an acute stage. According to
story whloh cornea down from the mine,
the men have taken possession of the
works and propose to hold the same
and the ore and bullion extracted until
they are paid what is due them. It ap
pears that Judge Reed went up to the
mine the 'first of the week with-Tod
Cameron, of J aoksonvllle, who carried,
it la aald. 11500 to oav off the olalma;
but apparently the money had a string
to it, for it did not reach the pockets
of the men, and they refuse to deliver
up possession. " Thereupon the judge
came aown w consult ui. muwruvja.

Stark Bros, of Missouri are quoted
In a western exohange aa saying that in
"letting ont young peach trees from the
nursery to the orchard the pruning
should be severe. The tree must have
entire top ont off, leaving only a stiok
15 to 86 inohes above the root. When
thus trimmed, plant in good, mellow
soil, about two inohes deeper than in
nursery. ' Whon growth begins, sprouts
will coino out all along up the body.
All phonld be rubbed off whllo small,
except thrco or four near tho top that
must be nllowod to grow for the main
