The following items Of informatio':
which have not previously been published
in regard to the movements of the L. S.
Exploring Squadron and the countries

Sydney is well built town of about
10000 inhabitants. The officers were

there. Society much split up into castles:

however with but little success. The ma

savages, and appear to form quite dis

The Southern Antarctic Continent was
seen on board of the Peacock several DAYS
before the Vincenncs fell in with it, but the
gale setting in soon after, in which she was
so much damaged by ice, compelled her to
bear up for Sydney without making any
further explorations. 1t was discovered
by the Vincenncs the morning of the same
day in which it was seen by the French
Discovery ships, thus antci pating their
discovery by half day, an account of
which will be found in another column.
The Vincennes was at one time within a
very short distance from the shore. and
just as preparations were being made for
attempting a landing, a severe gale set in,
which compelled her to seek an otfing.

made by individuals who purchased their
titles for mere trihcs OF TIE natives. The
American Consul, who is an Englshman,
recently sold a lot of land at the Bay of

for muskct. The former white poplla-

der the present administration, Il better
order of things is being introduced, and
the colonization of the country by the
English will no doubt have IA favorable
influence upon its destiny. The chiefs
are fast alternating their lands to foreign
Crs.
The Church of England Mission has
been established there thirty years, and
the results of its Iabors consist merely of
a translation of the New Testament, and
a few small books. The natives have lost
their old religion without substituting any
other in its place. The missionaries are
represented as living in good style, on large
estates, and enjoying as much of worldly
comfort and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT as their siiua-
ton and circumstances will allow.
The missionaries at the Samoa Group
are spoken Off the highest terms. Their

sions having proi!cd by their experience.

| The natives of the interior are said to
diile, in character and manners from those
of the sea board, with whom they are
continually at war. Notwithstanding the
terocity Of The F;jians, a number of white
men have settled among them, of much

to do away camibalism in the districts in

Some of the surveying parties were out
forty days in open boats, being obliged to
sleep in them at night, anchored at suf-
ficicnt distance from shore to prevent sur
prise. In their intercourse with the ma
tivcs, the officers had repeated proofs of
their treacherous spirit, in various attempts
to eludc their vigilance, and surprise them
while unpreparcd. In one instance they

account Of the State of Chihuahua, one
of the interior departments of Mexico,
was recently communicated in a letter

hua is rich in silver mines. During a
period Offour years, from 1924 TO 1928,
a single mine situated on the. great chain
Of noun tains TO the east Of the city Of
Chihuahua produced more than eleven
millions Of dollars in silver. But this
was a rare product. AT present from
two to two and half millions are obtain.
ed annually from the mines Of this dis
tTict, the greater portions OF them being
paralysed on account of the very high
prices of quick silver. A large portion
Of the precious metal thus yielded is
shipped from the ports of Mazatlan and
Guaymas, on the Pacific ocean, in ex-
change for goods, brOughtfrom England; /;
the rest is exported by the way of Mata-
mOras or some other port on the Gulf Of
Mexico. a
There are six chief mining towns in
the department Of Chihuahua, in which
there are upwalds Of four hundred
shafts Of mines; the few that are now
worked employ from 1900 to 5000
wOrkmen. Their duration is saidatO be
incalculable, and as the county is ex-
