A Boston syndicate with a capital

The American authorities in Cuba
are making arrangements to plant
a great nun.ber of eucalyptus trees
near tbe cities of Havana and San

has attended the cultivation of the
eucalyptus in the malarial region
adjoining the City of Rome. 1

The direotors of the United States
mint estimates the gold production
of the world for ' 1899, to be the
enormous sum of $340,000,000. The
corresponding figureB for 1897 were
$237,506,000, and for 1898, nearly
$288,000,000. -These are astound
ing figures, but they are reasonably
accurate. The increase in the gold
yield in part acoounts for the stim
ulation of business all over the
commercial world.' 1 1 " " 11
One of the surest and safest ways
of becoming rich beyond the dreams
of avarice would be to possess a few
acres of land in the heart of the
oity of London, or, in fact, a single
acre would make one wealthier than
the most lucky , miner that eyer
starved at Johannesburg, . The
highest price ever asked for land in
London Was at the rate of $65,000,-
000 per acre. The golden spot wbb
in Ber'mondsey, where a few years
ago a small piece of property was
offered' to a ' railway company at
that rate.' The railway company
declined to buy. Ground about
Lombard street is worth : not - lees
than $10,000,000 an acre. .The
marquis of Salisbury owns five acres
of land tit' Charing Cross, which,'
260 years back, was leased for
grazing .purposes' to his ancestors
at the' rate of $2.50 an aore for 600
years, l. xnese tew aoreB are now
worth about $5 per foot. "

When a man pursues an office
until bis tongue bangs out and then

he cannot blame the community

A Kentucky preacher, aged sev.

. The Cubans find fault with the
manner in which the president, in
his census proclamation,; informs
them that their independence is to
be recognized. Children' are fre
quently troublesome to deal with,
and grown up infante are always
tl e worst. .
,.The Sultan, when he becomes
alarmed over the possibility of as
sassination, falls back on boiled

that they cannot be poisoned. When
be hears that we have a. factory in
this oountry for producing artificial
"hen fruit" he will probably starve
himself to death. ' r
' -Judge. Lynch's record . in . the
United States in 1898 was 121.
Evidently public . Bentiment does
not revolt' very earnestly against
the savagery of hanging men with
out trial. Public sentiment is the
court of last resort, and until pub
lic -sentiment declares imperiously
against lynching we shall not begin
to be civilized. ' '
! The "argument" to the effect that ,
since women do not make the laws
and have no part, direct or indirect,
in making them, they should not
be punished as men are, is mawkish,
illoeical. nonsensical. Aliens have
no voice in making our penal laws,
but who would be foolish enough to
urge that as a reason why they
should be excused for crimes they
commit? , ;
Under the United States placer
mining laws one person may make
a single location containing 20 acres
of placer mining land, two persons
may make a single location contain
ing not more than 40 acres in a
compact body, three may looate. 60
acres, etc, but no single location,
whether made by eight persons or
more, can exceed 160 acres. It has
been decided that a single location
of placer mining ground may . em
brace 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120,,. 140
or 160 aoreB in a compaot body, ac
cording to the number ; of, locators.
If eight persons should make , eight
separate locations of 20 acres eaoh,
and seven looators should convey
their olaims to the other,: it. would:
require annual assessment work of.
$800 , to maintain the possessory
right to all of the olaims; but in the
case of a single location, embracing
160 aores of placer mining land, the
owner thereof, in order to maintain
his possessory right thereto, would
not" be . required to expend $100
worth t f mining labor on 20 aores
thereof,.but'hia possessory ' right to
the entire 160 acres might be 'main
tained by performing thereon $100
worth of aotual mining work de
signed In good faith for the improve
ment of the 160-aore location as a
single mining claim. ' v ' :
