Address A. P. ARMSTRONG, Look Box 104, Portland, Orege. The New Eldorade. A prominent citizen of Denver, just returneq from the Wood River country, in Spite of his natural loy alty to his booming Sratf, gives the following interesting and seductive terns concerning the Wood River country: The region occupies about 20,000 square miles of central Idaho. Silver predominates and although the Veins are not phenomenally large their number and !5.vernge richness beats anvthins in the history of mining. Some 5,000 locations have been made, and paying ore has al most invanbly commenced at the grass root. Hie yield last year was $1,200,000 and this year it will be $3,000,000, and the average of all ores worked is about $200 per ton. In Wood River camps proper the ores average about $125 sliver per on and 65 per cent, lead, but just over the divide to the north they are ot dry, stisphuret and ruby class, yielding $5000 to $1,000 per ton in car-load lots. There are six smelt ers, two stamp mills and one ore sam ler in the Wood River and Saw tooth regions, their combined capa city being over 200 tons per day, and yet .the mines ate putting up thousand of tons of ore(for which there are no reduction facilities) a- waitins: the advent of the Oregon Short Line. A good many sales of mining prop erty, have been made ot late, nota bly in the vacinity of Hailey, at sums ranging from $50,000 to $400,000 each. There SeenlS to be no trouble to effect sales of good property in that country, as the strong fissure veins ahd high grade heavy lead ore commed tfiemselves on sight. Cal ifornia, Philadelphia, Chicago and Salt Lake men have secured the best hold thus far. The country is splen didly watered and timbered, and the mines lay at such low elevations as to be econamically worked. Hailey is the commercial and mining center, and' will make a town of 5000 to 10, 000 people within two years. It i delightfully situated in Wood River valley, at an altitude of 5,200 feet and although possessing only 1,200 inhabitants it does an immense busi ness with the mining camps sui round ing it all the best of which are tribu "tary to Hailey. There are at least 1,000 men on the pay rolls of mining companies operating within a day's drive of Hailey, and thousands more are at wook in the same radius on railroad construction, cutting ties cord wood; get tins out timber, etc The Oregon Short Line is within 100 miles of Hailey and will strike "Wood River, 50 miles lower down, in De cember, reaching Hailey(which is to be the the terminus of the broad gauge and the inception of of the nar row gauge system of that country) early in the spring. The farming and stock-growing interests are great. Several Colorado men have struck it rich and others are "close behind." Take it altogether the country is as great a mineral field as Colorado; it should produce $5,000,000 next year and double that in 1884. It is long way ahead of Butte, Leadville Gunnison, Bodie and Virginna, Ne vada, at the same age. In fact, ays our informant, "it is the coming coun try for the prospector, the business man ot any kind with money, the farmer and stock-grower and that larger class who like to speculate in corner lots for these Hailey and the new town of Shoshone offer big indu cements. There are about 10,000 people inJLhg entire region now, bat the conntry Is so big a good many of them are lost. Denver News, Florida sugar Lands. Rapid progress is being made in cutting the canal from Caloosatchie ver to Lake Okeechobee, by which millions of acres of valuable sugar lands, it is asserted, will be reclaimed. One of the prime movers and origin ators in the reclamation of some 200,000 acres of sugar land in Louis iana, in an interview published in the Florida Times, expresses himself as greatly surprised at the quantity and value of the sugar lands in Florida. He declares the lands of the Okeechobee Company, located in the Kissimmee Valley, to be of the nest character he ever saw, possess- ng in the quality of the land, cli matic advantages and absence ot frost, all those properties most' con- uctive to successful sugar culture. While in Louisiana they are com pelled to Cut cane while still green, and often lose a whole crop from frost, in Florida they allow it to ma- are to full growth. From a person- 1 inspection of the lands bordering on Lake Tohopekaliga and north of Lake Cyprus he found large tracts of and possessing the prominent natu ral requisites to the growth and ma turity of rice and sugar can under the most favorable conditions. From all indications South Florida is des tined to become an important con tributor to the production of 6ugar cane in the United States. Already a number of Cuban planters have ex amined the land, and expressed themselves in favor of investing their capital in sugar lands in Florida.

A Valuable invention, Says the Albany Democrat, last Tuesday Hiram Ifenton, of this city, eceived the patent on his magnetic crold ( enarator. This is one of the most ingenins as well as valuable in ventions ever introduced on the Pa cific Coast and will stand by the side of many of the wonderful inven tions of the present time. To Mr, Kenton it will, we are confident prove a gold mine. To accomplish what it will do in all its details has been attempted by many ingenins minds, all of whom have failed, but Mr. Kenton is confident now that he has struck it right and obtained just what is wanted. For the last four years he has made this his study, and it should be a matter of local pride that he has succeeded. The object of the separator is to separate the gold from magnetic sand and other substances, one of the most troublesome being a chlo rine, a greasy appearing acid found particularly near the ocean. Th plan of doing this is .really ingenius and shows a thorough knowledge of magnets, eta A series of copper pans, are arranged in a wooden sluice. which may be divided and doubled or trebled as the sluice descends, each pan being lower than the one above, and at the same time descend ing. On the bottom of the pans, quick-silver is spread, forming a coating, without eating the copper. It each of the pans perforated copper plates are fitted, and under each ate a series of large magnets, from fifty to a hundred and fifty, according to the size of the separator. Over each of the nans, running from the sides of the sluice are two beams, through which copper screws partly incased in zinc are run, resting on the cop per plates. The sand, water, etc., re thrown into a perforated arrange ment at the top, which throws off the large substances and allows the sand, gold, water etc., to pass down through the sluice over the perforated plates, pans, etc., forming a perfect riffle. The quick-silver attracts the gold through the perforated plates, and it adhetes to it, while the magnets un derneath disturb the magnetic sand, keeping it at the top, so that the water carries it on through the sluice out at the bottom. Mixed with the water, gold and sand is the trouble some chlorine which would collect and eat the plates, rendering it im possible to save the gold, but to op pose this enemy, the copper plates are given a negative power, repell ing it, while the zinc on the screws having a positive force attracts it, and at the same time by reason of the copper pins being connected with the plates below, an electric current is formed and it . is continued on AGRICULTURAL NOTES. If one must use labels upon tree and shrubs, the simplest we have found is sheet-zinc cut in the shape of a long triangle. Let it be six or eight inches long, an inch at thtv broad end, and taper to ft point. Write upon it, near the large end. with a common lead pencil; coil the small end around a twig; it will ex pand without injuring the tree, and last for 20 or more years. Professor Beal furnishes a state ment to the. Rural New Yorker, that a neighbor who was a poor cultiva tor had ripe tomatoes two weeks be fore some of his neighbors, simply because his soil was poor and had not been manured, while the neighbors had rich soil, which kept the plant growing with more luxuriance, with later ripening of the fruit. Observations show that a castor oil fjlanl having been placed in a room infested with flies, they disap peared as if by enchantment. Search ing for the cause there were soou found under the castor-oil plant a cumber of dead flies, and a large number ot bodies had remained cling ing to the under surface of the leaves of the plant, which gave out an es sential oil on some toxic principle possessing very strong insecticide qualities. A correspondent ot a Virginia pa per states that tires may be kept on wheels by the following prooesa,"I ironed a wagon some years ago for my own use ana oeiore putting w the tires I filled the felloes with lin- seed oil, and tires have worn out and were never loose. I also ironed a buggy for my own use seven years ago, and the tires are as tight as when put on. My me! hod of filling the felloes is as follows: use a long cast iron heater made for t,he purpose. The" oil is brought to a boiling heat, and the wheel is placed on a stick so as to hang in the oil. An hour i sufficient for a common sizad felloe, of which the timber should be dry, as green wood will not take oil Care . should be taken that the oil does not get hotter than the boiling heat, fls the wood might be set on fire and burned. Timber filled with oil U not susceptible to water and is much more durable." A farmer of my acquaintance, whose business is chiefly raising hogs, had one acre oT artichokes, two or three years ago; he now has six acres, and talks of planting fovfr more. He says that in some years one fccre of artichokes is worth three of corn, and that a small piece, according to the number of hogs, will any year bo worth more than the same area of corn. Some use the tops as green feed: horses and cattle both seem to relish them. It is said that an acre of wheat will sustain three and a half individ uals for one year. An acre ot pota toes will sustain ten persons for one year. In Ireland the introduction ot the potato has been followed by a decline of every Irish industry ex cept agriculture. The small amount Deep planting is one error. To I of labor required for obtaining sus- through the sluice. When this is done the gold is easily taken from the quicksilver. Mr. Kenton is just finishing one of the separators for a gentleman in Oakland, Cal., who is very enthu siastic over its virtues. It will be able-to throw off at least a hundred tons of sand a day. In the tailings alone of many of the mines on the coast there can be found $5 to $10 to the ton end considerable higher in many oases. Only a short mathe matical demonstration will tell what t will do. At the coast with a small separator, where the sand only yields about a bit to the ton Mr. Kenton made $8.57 in two days. A Sill. For an Act to amend Sections 37 and 57, of Title 4, of an Act to Es tablish a Uniform Course of Public Instruction in the Common Schools of this State, approved October 29, 1872. Be it enacted by the legislative As sembly of the State of Oregon: Sec. 1. That section 37, of title 4, of an act to establish a uniform course of public instruction in the common schools of this state, be amended so as to read as follows; Sec. 37. The duties of directors of school districts shall be: 1 To authorize the clerk to call special meetings; 2. To issue warrants to the clerks, authorizing them to collect in the naras of the district, and in the same manner as the state and county tfixes are collected, all taxes assessed to the inhabitants thereof, and upon the taxab'.e'property of non-residents; 3. When authorized by a major ity vote of the district, to purchase, lease or build school houses, and to buy or lease lands for school pur poses, and to take care of, and fur nish their school houses with the nec essary fuel, light, libraries, appara tus, etc.; 4. To see that the wishes of the district towards outside scholars are respected; 5. To employ teachers and assist them in the government of the school; 6. To audit all claims against the district, and draw orders on the clerk for the amount; 7. To require of the district clerk a bond of such form as shall seem just and reasonable for the faithful performance of his duties; 8. To examine and coiroct the as sessment roll made by the clerk, as hereinafter provided; 9. To levy rate bills, whenever in their opinion it is ior the best inter ests of the district to do so, fixing therein the amount of tuition to be paid by each pupil attending school. and direct the clerk to collect the same in the name of the district; Sec. 2. That section 57 ot said act be amended so as to read as follows, Sec. 57. The clerk shall act as secretary of all meetings, and shall, at the end oi each quarter (when au thorized by the directors), make out tht rate bills for' tuition then due and collect the same without delay. 1 . n , ..nltict. .1' a i 1 nnrrp t.Tian it pidllb i tJ ...... .- - formerly stood is really the right way, whilst many plant a tree as they would a post. Roots are ot two kinds the young and tender rootlets composed entirely of cells, the feeder of the tree, always found near the surface getting air and moisture, and roots of over one year old, which serve only as supporters of the trees and as conductors of the food. Hence the injury that ensues when the delicate rootlets are so deeply buried in earth. Placiug fresh or green manure in contaot with the young roots is another great error. The place to put manure is on surface where the elements disintegrate, dis solve and carry it downward. Nu merous forms of fungi are generated and reproduced by the application of such manure directly io the roots, and they immediately attack the tree. It is very well to enrich the soil at transplanting the tree, bnt the manure, it to be in eontact with or very near the roots, should be thor oughly decomposed. Legal blanks furnished at this amce on short notico a lea. thai. San Francisco prices. tenance from the potato is taken as the measure of necessary labor, and the time gained is not profitably spent in developing other industries, but is apt to be passed in idleness. It is so the world over, when the earth yields of its abundance almost with out toil. Thoroughly scald out yonr barrel and the cutter j tubs, etc, to be used in making sauerkraut. Strip off the outer leaves of the cabbages, halve them, remove tie heart and cut as fine as necessary. Put some clean leaves in the bottom of the barrel, sprinkle over tbaro a handful of salt, fill in a half bushel of the- cut rab bage and stamp gently with a pestle until the juice appears in it, and then add another handful ot salt and more cabbage, as before. Proceed until the barrel is fait; then cover with cabbage leaves and press down with a board just fitting inside the top of the barrel weighted with a twelve or fifteen p'onnd stone. Set away in a cool place and remove to a cellar when danger of hard freezing is nigh. In six weeks the kraut is fit for nse and the barrels may be headed for market.
