TaE MINES.

with tho completion Of tho great con-
mental railroad the prospects Of Eastern
Nevada, with her numerous, extensive
and rich mines, have materially bright
eusd. Those valuable mineral deposits
are got ut with far greater facility than
ever before, and now that capital is
brought more directly to bear in the
matter, a new era of truo development
is dawning upon that interesting section.
A. the period Of the first discovery, q
few years ago, everything in the mining
or milling line vas done at an uureason-
able, ~ruinous cost, and with great lack
of experience. But nor things are
different; and With the present great and
progressive improvements in all the
requisite respects, tho so long abau-
doned mines Of Humboldt will Don be,
and even 20 are being, resurrected and
brought into q state of satisfactory pro-
duction.
From the Aha Of August 3lst we
quote the following interesting points
on the subject: "a mile and q hall
southeast Of Unionville, in The Humboldt
Miniog District, in a high mountain
ridge, two deep %ravines unto 10 form
the canyon, at tho mouth of which stands
the town. On the sides of tho south
ern ravino are found Falls mines, and
other deposits Of silver ores, so rich q;
to yield from 5000 to $500 per ton, bu'
so refractory that they are sont to Eu'
rope for reduction. The northern RI
vine is also rich in precious metal, but,
strange to say il is gold. Tho Arizona
silver mine, on the southern wing, is on
n vein three feet thick, and q drift has
been run six hundred fec, in tho pay
ore. Tho Manitowoc is another silver
ledge of the same character, averaging
twenty inches wide. These ores, after
the selection Of what is sent to San
Francisco, are worked In two mills al
Unionyille. One Of these is run BY
steam, generated by sage brush exelu'
sivoly. Some instructive lessons are NJ
fordcd by the history of this Humboldt
country. Once it commended a rush
high prices, and ~extrayagant expecta
tions. II was found, however, that thu
ores were rebellious in the ordiuar!
mill. The Sheba mine is a notable ex
ample. II was once worth $500 pc
foot. Big money was invested, and tn
works were then abandoned. Now al
is changed again. The mines that wer
dead are alive. A few men had faitl
that mover wavered. Through good an
evil report they proved their faith b.
holding fast. For a few dreary years
dull, gloomy and monotonous the.
stuck to Unionvillc and the Humboldt
mines. The silver is in the ore, ant
some day it is bound to come OUT wa:
their motto. The Railway camo at last
and with it the reward of faith aud per
severance"

that slavery should be abolished in tho

While Spain does not reject the media

way of accomplishment. There is

that a preliminary demand by Spain is

THE r

-
Mrs. Stowe, in the Atlantic Monthly
for September, tries to immortalize her
self by publishing a terribly slanderous
and sensational story, protesting it to
be "the true history Of Lady Byron's
life," in which the character and menu
DRY of the poet Byron, so long resting
quietly in his grave, Is subjected to the
foulest aspersiors, and is attempted to
be rudely torn from the exalted place it
occupies in the estimation Of the literary
world. She says she does it upon tho
authority ofLady Byron herself, who at
this late day charges her husband with
in~cestuous relations with his own sister
Augusta, (Mrs. Leigh She says she
lived with him I'VE years after she dis
covered his great sin, and then deserted
him because sho could not stand it any
longer. Sho felt that Byron's soul was
torn with the agonies of remorse and
weighed down with the dreadful secret
of his great guilt. He had no love to
give her in return for q love that was
"ready to do and to dare all for him."
Byron died and was buried many q
long year ago, and Lady Byron died in
1860. That Byron was considerable of
q rake is apparently shown by his own
writings, aside from all revelations by
his former wife or anybody clse, bu,
even allowing this terrible story to be
true in its very worst aspect, it is diff
cult to conceive what particular good it
can do US Of the present day to make it
public. Byron is dead and so is Lady
Byron. They are all earthly harm {:
it is only tho living and the poets
memory which can DO injured by the
foul revelation. Mrs. Stowe makes
capital out Of il for herself MS
o sensational writer, but tho truly
good and practical in society will
not envy her any of the notoriety she
may gain by it. Tho story will be ex-
,casivcly read, and perhaps believed, by
some, although we arc grati6ed to no.
tice that most Of our contemporaries are
inclined to disbolieve it and condemn
the motive. which has placed the dread.
full SANDER before a criticising world.
Tho story is based principally upon tho
mere assertion of Lady Byron herself,
and it is but charitable to suppose that
she might have been partially or wholly
insane at the time she uttered il. If it
is any womanly satisfaction to Mrs.
Stowe that she has so foully maligned
one Of her own sex, and cast q filthy
blot upon the memory Of Que Of the
worlds true poets, thus furnishing de-
basing food for the most prurient appe-
,i,es and passions, she can hug tho dirty

The latest novelty in ~railroading, the
practicabiliiy Of which has been thor.
oughly demonstrated in France, is that
of a single rail railway. Tho novel
feature Of the invention consists of a
single rail, like a long ribbon, extend
ing along n side of the road. One
wheel placed at the forward part alone
bears on this rail, while the other two
wheels rest on the ground. The cars
are furnished with two wheels, placed
underneath in their long axis, which
rest on the rail and support their weight,
while two other wheels, destined TO pre-
servo their equilibrium, are placed out.
side. The experiment with a lilliputian
locomotive, drawing n series Of cars
carrying sixteen persons each, is thus
described The track was about four
miles long. While the train was run
ming at a speed of 10 miles an hour, it
reached a grade Of 40 feet to tho mile,
which it assembled without any sppar-
ent slackening of the speed. The 6rst
result was conclusive in favor Of tho
system proposed, as it showed, beyond
a doubt, the possibility Of overcoming
the difficulties Inherent to the ascent Of
extraordinary steep grades. A portion
of the road presents a series of very
short curves Of q radius Of only G5 feet ;
these the train followed with marvellous
s%moothne,s and regularity. On the ro-
turn trip the brakes were so perfectly
adjusted that the velocity on the rapid
desccnts vas kept constant at all times.
For local purposes the system seems to
be we'll adapted. The locomotive used
on tho occasion weighed only three tons.
The cost of such n line, in France, is
estimated at about So, $50 per mile.

LIFE INSURANCE IN THE

NThere are about 1875 life insurance

From the report, of these SO companies
we compile the following statements
The number Of policies in force JAM

increase of $50, 2el, l2e ovor the bust
ness of 1867. The total income of the
So companies las. year was $50, $50, 1888.
The losses paid during the year
amounted TO Sill, 6s4, 766, while Sl2,.
o5l ,ool were paid in dividends to policy
holders.
The total liabilities Of the SO compa'
MES on the let of January, 1869, were
1922, 2s3, while the total assets o.
tho same companies amounted to SITS
400, 529, Suppose the assured should

would be l ,024, l33, 1896 46. Or sup
pose that the present assets DO invested
a. 10 per cent. interest for 80 years, thu

COOPERATION IN FRANcE-As regards the
success, which, on the whole, has attended
cooperative Societies of Production in
France, it ia difficult to characterize it. 1t
has been seen that many Of these societies
have collaps ,; the existence of others is
very precar US; while q few, such as the
Society of Masons, are remarkably prosper
GUS. But, in the opinion Of Mr. Fame, even
those societies which heve died, or which
still live precariously, have not been without
their VALUE. They have served to indicate
the direction Of success, although they have
failed in pursuing it; they have furnished
examples Of faults to be avoided and they
have in many cases promoted popular belief
in the worth Of scientific principles, oy ex-
hibiting the worthlesness of their opposites
Mr.. Fame thinks that, putting aside the fail
y WIZ all tina. = vsEe esfssed
to economic laws, it may be said that the
fault display ed in the organization Of these
societies has been generally too much faith
in the combination of skill and labor, and
too little regard for the cooperation of CAPT.
tai. 1T would appear" he says, "tLat
there is, If not an antagonism, At least a
competition of interests between capital and
labor when distinctly represented in joint
enterprise, which, except under moral coD-
ditions, which cannot be predicted as nor
NAL, tends fatally to interfere with their har-
mohious cooperation. IL would also appear
that the combination of skill and labor can
not in The present day practice suc cessfully
manufacture without the aid OF suffic cent
capital: and the deduction from these pro-
POSITIONS Is, that the workman should aim
ut becoming in some measure q capitalist
himself, before be seeks to become q Coop
orator with capitalists" Mr.. Fine thinks
that il the organization of that class Of Co.
operative societies which enables the work
man to effect savings and to learn providence,
had preceded in France the formation Of pro-
ductive societies, into which he can only en-
ter with success a prudent capitalist, the
results, % regards the latter, would in all
have been mort propItious.
