DEWEY & CoO,, Publishers. Testing and Working Silver Ores. Tho shove Is the title of an Mistrated work of 114 pages, for miners and prospectors, by Chas, If.

Address Dewey & Co., Mininé AND ScleNTIFIC PREss, 202 Sansome Street, San Franeiseo. TUERE are many persons who do not know bow to stop anewspaper. They are more awkward about it than a eountry boy stealing his first kiss, The way to do it with satisfaetion to both sides is to address the publisher by letter if you do not live near enough to call at his office. It is no way to notify the postmaster or some one else, Four postmasters in three will fail to notify the ottiee of publication, They look upon it as your business more than theirs. The right way is as genteel and pleasant as the other is suspicious and shabby. If you owe for a few weeks or mouths over time, tender the amount due. lt isa little thing, but it will be a great satisfaction to your eonscicnee, as every one is prestuned to have one of some kind. Stop your newspaper like a man, and your own self-respeet and the esteem of the publisher is maintained. Then you can always look him in tbe eye or take hin by the hand, and he will feel proud to think you were onee one of his most gentlemanly patrons, and wish you would subseribe again,—Eachange.

Address Dewey & Co., Mininé AND ScleNTIFIC PREss, 202 Sansome Street, San Franeiseo. TUERE are many persons who do not know bow to stop anewspaper. They are more awkward about it than a eountry boy stealing his first kiss, The way to do it with satisfaetion to both sides is to address the publisher by letter if you do not live near enough to call at his office. It is no way to notify the postmaster or some one else, Four postmasters in three will fail to notify the ottiee of publication, They look upon it as your business more than theirs. The right way is as genteel and pleasant as the other is suspicious and shabby. If you owe for a few weeks or mouths over time, tender the amount due. lt isa little thing, but it will be a great satisfaction to your eonscicnee, as every one is prestuned to have one of some kind. Stop your newspaper like a man, and your own self-respeet and the esteem of the publisher is maintained. Then you can always look him in tbe eye or take hin by the hand, and he will feel proud to think you were onee one of his most gentlemanly patrons, and wish you would subseribe again,—Eachange.
