that sugar cannot be made to advantage without the investment of large capital. The cane produced on less than ten acres of ground, is usually ground in a wooden mill, which does not cost more than $100 (generally the work of the farmer himself), while the juice is boiled in the common utensils of the kitchen, or at best, as the New England farmer manufactures his maple sugar. The yield is usually greater, in proportion to the stock worked, than where the machinery has cost ten or fifteen thousand dollars! Cane is cultivated with more ease than corn, not requiring so much hoeing. From midsummer to the time of harvesting, the hands may be employed in other business; and even at the time of taking off the crop, no great increase of hands is required, as in Louisiana or Texas, where frost prevails. One hand can cultivate six acres with the hoe, or ten to twelve with the aid of a horse and plough. At the same time he can raise other crops sufficient to subsist himself and family. Twelve hundred pounds of sugar to the acre, is an average yield, though four thousand pounds have been produced. (This refers to the yield on land further north than Biscayne Bay; it is very certain that the larger yield can be relied upon in this locality.) “The molasses is always expected to pay the expense of manufacturing.” Col. M. A. WILLIAMS, while engaged in the United States survey in 1874, writes: “This country is attracting attention; those who are here (and there are several from various States, who have come since January), are perfectly delighted.” WM. M. SWAN, who was with him, writes, “Biscayne Bay comes up to the preconceived idea general with strangers in Florida. If this place (I mean the entire Bay), had a competent party to write it up _as it is_, into notice, the larger part of the travel and investment would _undoubtedly center here_.” “The whole of Biscayne Bay, is far more beautiful than the scenery along the Indian river and the St. Johns.” * * * * * “We met here a Mr. SAMUEL ROGERS, of Omaha, seeking health, and a desirable tropical home for his family. After carefully plodding over the beaten track, the St. Johns and Indian river, he finally selected this as the Eldorado he had been seeking. Mr. ROGERS is one of the founders of the new thriving city of Omaha.” Under date of May 30th, he writes: “The nights are always pleasant, calling for a blanket before morning. I must admit, that with the exception of Key Largo, I have not found mosquitoes any thing as bad on the whole, as I was led to believe.” * * * * * A Mr. JONES, of New York, reported to be very wealthy, says, “he has traveled over the continent of Europe two or three times; has visited all of the Islands of the Mediterranean in search of a climate favorable to his (heart) disease. He decides unequivocally in favor of the Bay, and announces his intention to buy a small tract of land, put up a splendid cottage, stock an orchard complete in every fruit suitable, have his
