While here he visited the Nevada City, Providence, Champion and other big mines, and before leaving expressed himself quite freely about this mining district. He thinks the outlook here is better than anything he has seen on the Coast. He had no idea whatever that there were such good mines in the State as he saw while here, and he believes that this district is as yet in its infagey so far as our mines are concerned. He is quite favorably impressed with an undeveloped mine near this city, about which nothing has been said for a long time, which he thinks would prove, when properly developed, as good as any in the listrict. In all probability he will, with his friends, purchase it.

The Borer Pest Has Played Havoc With the Bivalves This Season, The “borer,” a pest about the size of a small straw srry, is working great hayoo unong the oyster beds in Delaware bay ind tributary streams, Captain Moses Veale of the oyster schooner White Lily ays that the destructive powers of the sorer have been known to oystermen nly a few years. He had followed oyser digging nearly 85 years, and the first borer he saw was about 10 years ago, but tueir ravages in the oyster beds were somparatively unnoticed until last year. Captain Veale said that ‘last year the pumber of dead oysters with holes made »y borers in the shell became go great hat oystormen were alarmed, This year the work of the borers has become i grave matter, and if it continues many vays will become depopulated of oysters. From ene bed we dredged on this trip we sot 1,200 baskets of oysters, but out of these only 200 were good, the dead oysters having been killed by borers. A peculiar thing about the ravages of the borers is their apparent selection of the best oyster beds. We have found this to be true sevoral times this season. We have found a bed of small oysters almost entirely free from borers, This bed will be separated from another bed of larger oysters by 200 feet, but ¢his latter will beso badly affected by the creatures that it will hardly pay to work it, “From what I can learn from oystermen the destruction wrought by borers is more severe in Delaware bay than in other places, “The work of the borer this year makes a double misfortune, for the oyster beds were badly damaged by the big storm in August and September. Very. few people who are not in the oyster. drodging business know anything of the methods of the borer, When I first took notice of its work, I secured several oysters just after the borer had fastened itself tothe shell, When the borer fastens itself, it holds on like a leech, and it is with difficulty that it can be removed with the fingers, “Sometimes the borer fastens itself to the oyster shell near the edge, and then the oyster is not killed. When the hole of the borer is made near the center of the shell, the oyster is attacked in its vital parts and dies in three or four days after the hole is first made.” Some of the bed owners near Maurice river have lost large sums of money this year on account of the borer. Thomas Munsey, who has a number of large beds, it is said, will lose $10,000. Several other men have lost nearly as much through this unlooked for calamity, and a number of men have lost in the neighborhood of $2,000 or $3,000, All oystermen say there can be no way of taking away the borer without destroying the oyster beds. —Philadelphia Ledger. = ' @n Ammonia, Alum or any other adulterant. q BARS THE STANDARD, get work.

Accordingly the members of the congregation prepared themselves for the great event. On Sunday morning early 85 Swedish girls assembled in Parson Larson’s church for the expected ascent, They knew notthe hour, but they were certain the event was to occur, and they waited patiently and reverently for it. All day long and far into the night they sat in prayer waiting to be called away, but the call never came. Tired out at last, they left the church a disappointed company, but still firm in the faith that they would yet be called ta heaven at no distant day, Want Immigrant Wives.

Captain Veale said that ‘last year the pumber of dead oysters with holes made »y borers in the shell became go great hat oystormen were alarmed, This year the work of the borers has become i grave matter, and if it continues many vays will become depopulated of oysters.. From ene bed we dredged on this trip we sot 1,200 baskets of oysters, but out of these only 200 were good, the dead oysters having been killed by borers. A peculiar thing about the ravages of the borers is their apparent selection of the best oyster beds. We have found this to be true sevoral times this season. We have found a bed of small oysters almost entirely free from borers, This bed will be separated from another bed of larger oysters by 200 feet, but ¢his latter will beso badly affected by the creatures that it will hardly pay to work it, “From what I can learn from oystermen the destruction wrought by borers is more severe in Delaware bay than in other places, “The work of the borer this year makes a double misfortune, for the oyster beds were badly damaged by the big storm in August and September. Very. few people who are not in the oyster. drodging business know anything of the methods of the borer, When I first took notice of its work, I secured several oysters just after the borer had fastened itself tothe shell, When the borer fastens itself, it holds on like a leech, and it is with difficulty that it can be removed with the fingers, “Sometimes the borer fastens itself to the oyster shell near the edge, and then the oyster is not killed. When the hole of the borer is made near the center of the shell, the oyster is attacked in its vital parts and dies in three or four days after the hole is first made.” Some of the bed owners near Maurice river have lost large sums of money this year on account of the borer. Thomas Munsey, who has a number of large beds, it is said, will lose $10,000. Several other men have lost nearly as much through this unlooked for calamity, and a number of men have lost in the neighborhood of $2,000 or $3,000, All oystermen say there can be no way of taking away the borer without destroying the oyster beds. —Philadelphia Ledger. = ' @n Ammonia, Alum or any other adulterant. q BARS THE STANDARD, get work.

Accordingly the members of the congregation prepared themselves for the great event. On Sunday morning early 85 Swedish girls assembled in Parson Larson’s church for the expected ascent, They knew notthe hour, but they were certain the event was to occur, and they waited patiently and reverently for it. All day long and far into the night they sat in prayer waiting to be called away, but the call never came. Tired out at last, they left the church a disappointed company, but still firm in the faith that they would yet be called ta heaven at no distant day, Want Immigrant Wives.
