,38 THE WEST SHORE. Edward Shicffelin who first discovered the tombstone mines of Arizona, has organized a party including himself, to make a thorough prospecting tour of the valley of the Yukon river, Alaska. A small light-draft stern-wheel steamer has been built for river navigation, and will Le U Ik en on the deck of a schooner chartered for the purpose. The ex pedition will leave in a few days. Shicffelin believes that Alaska is within the mineral belt which extends through South America, Mexico, the United States, British Columbia and as far north as the prospectors have explored, and leaving Alaska unexplored, the mineral belt is disclosed again in Siberia. Mr. Shicffelin is a man of means and has acquired great wealth from his mining operations in Arizona. If his theory is correct, there is no doubt of his success. Were it not for the promptness of the officers of the U. S. Land nffirA of fVL W Mb V- fax, the loss of records occasioned by me recem nre, might prove very serious. As it is, with the exception of cases cted upon since July ist, the records can be almost wholly duplicated from the records of the general land office at Washington. The Register and Re ceivcr have called upon all persons who have made Homestead and Timber Culture entries and Pre-emption filings, nd all who have made final proof and entry under the pre-emption and home lead laws since July 1st, 1882, ,nd have the Receiver's receipt therefor.'to ap. pear at their office or before the clerk of the court for the county in which the respective claims are situated, and sub.

Mixed Farming. -In a AicnL at a farmers club meeting in Chautau qua, New York, the president sensibly said: We cannot always follow the business that suits us best. I prefer grain raising; but on my farm I think I there is more money in mixed farming. I We need sheep to Dasture our nrrh.rHi I 1 , .- . t and waste places on the farm; also the cows to eat the refuse fruit, and to keen up the condition of the soil.
