SILVER REGIONS OF THE WORLD
Interesting Facts and Statistics.

From the san Francisco Chronicle
In 1850 Nevada was not reckoned
among the silver producing regions.
Mexico and South America In that
year produced S35, 900, GOO worth near
~ five times the amount obtained in
the same year from Europe, Asia and
Africa. The production of Piedmont
in that year was greater than that of
any other section of the eastern CONT
nent, and was about 81 100000. Aus
tria was represented by about $1,000
600, while Russia, Norway, SaXony,
Spain, the Hartz mountains, and De-
vonshire and Cornwall, in England,
produced the remainder. India has
often been represented rs destitute of
silver, but we have statements from
Sir Roderick Murchison and other
travellers that the Kulu valley is so rich
in ore and metallic silver, that it
might be made to yield enormous rev.
enues for ages to come. What was
once known ms the silver country of
the Naznrs in Kulu, comprises the
mountainous country lying between
the Beas, Saint and the Parhutti riv.
ers. The mines, although in the palmy
days of India worked to considerable
extent, are now almost forgotten, even
by the inhabitants of the region itself.
The Munikarn mines in the same val
ley are known to be intellectually
rich, but are now unworked. The
Indian authorities, and even the peo-
pie themselves, lay every obstacle in
the way of developing them for fear of
impoverishing the country. In the
first three centuries after the discovery
of America it has been computed that
100 900 tons of pure silver were export
would he sufficient to form II solid
globe of silver one hundred feet in
diameter. Considering the rude man.
ner of working ores at that day. this Is
no trile. The difference between min
ing in Peru and mining in Mexico is on
ly in the climate of the silver regions.
The Potosi mine, which has yielded
enormous quantities of silver, Is ut an
elevation as great rs that of the sum-
nit of Mont Blanc, in region of per-
petual snow. The mines of
Mexico are on the middle
lands, where neither frost
nor great heat IL felt. The vast miner
al wealth of Peru has been developed
by the patient industry of the native
Indians. They live almost entirely on
cocoa. Their wages per week average
about 81 so in our money. A very no.
mantle story is told of the Saicano
mine, which has been lost for hun.
dred years. Salcado was II young
Spaniard who fell In love with and
married an Indian girl, whereupon she
revealed to him the location of u silver
mine of fabulous richness and ms yot
unw0rked. Salcado, with the aid of
his wife, found the mine, and, making
friends with the Indians, he com.
menced work upon 1t. In few years
he was enormously rich. The Spanish
Governor learning of his PROSPERITY,
and designing to secure the mine to
himself, caused u charge of conspiracy
to be made against him, under which
hc was arrested, tried, and condemned,
though the charge was entirely ficti.

promised the Governor, De Iemos,

found. The widow and her devoted
Indians had determined that the muir
dcrcr should never be rewarded for ms
crime, aud they had Hooded the mlhe
and buried IL in such Il manner mat
discovery was impossible. The richest
silver mine in the world probably, is
the P0t0cchi, or, in our vernacular,
POtOsi--the ChOllar-Polosi being NAM
ed it. 1t Is near LaPlata, and was dls-
covered in 1913. 1t has always been
worked in n rude manner INT yet Is
said to have already produced $3.50, OOO,-
600 Of the precious metal. For many
years sixteen hundred Indians were
employed in it, and, being slaves, so
cruelty were they worked tnat they
died rapidly, and their places were inn
mediotely filled by Others. At the
present time two thousand paid men
are employed, and the mine yields
well, and shows no signs OF eXhau5-
ton, The total silver production in
the world, from the year 1850 to 1870,
has been estimated TO be Sl,O25, 100000,
the United States producing 0nc-tcnth
of the entire amount. The yield Of
Mexico is at present ut the rate of
twenty million dollars annually.
Peru is falling gradually behind,
the yield for the year 1874 being
but little over $3,OO0UOO. The mines
of Chill aid Bolivia are being rapidly
developed and will soon furnish a
material item in the annual produce
ton. In 1867 Nevada proudly pointed
to II yield Of 2,5OO,OOO. In 1869 the
production was hardly half ~ much.
The production for the present year
will probably exceed S25, 100000. The
annual production of the Idaho mines
is about S8, coo, 600, or as much rs the
famous mines of Peru. Colorado, in
1874, il estimated to have produced bull
lion to the amount of 81 100000.

How .Corner,, Is Mnnnged

A b and G combine their means and
credits to make n corner in July. They
therefore quietly begin in May to buy
corn to be delivered in July. They
gradually buy MI the corn in the mar
ket and, Of necessity, must buy all
that arrives, paying for the latter what
ever is demanded. When purchase
is thus made, seller and buyer put up II
margin, either IN cash, or certificate,
or deposit. As soon ~ the corner be-
comes known, there is m effort made
| to break it. The settlement takes
place at 3 p. NJ. Oh the last day of the
month. Those who have sold corn
to the corner and have no corn to
deliver, pay the difference between the
price at which they sold, and the rul-
ing price at the close Of business on the
last day. As the corner has thus pur-
| chased sometimes five times rs much
corn ~ there is to be had, amounting
to millions Of bushels and the price
has advanced ten cents II bushel the
profit is enormous. AS the prices adj
vance, additional margins are required.
Those falling to put up the additional
margins, lose what they have already
put up. Tho anti-cOrner factions seek
to 80 crowd sales on the corner as
to exhaust its capital and credits,
and render it unable to buy at the adj
vance prices. Thus, the corner is
compelled to send out in the country
and buy for cash all the corn in sight,
to prevent having it rushed into Chi
cago nj the last moment. These are
exciting times. Corn at such mo-
ment may be purchased Of the corner
for shipment, from six to ii fifteen cents
n bushel less than it is selling for on
Change for delivery during the
month. Each time there is corner,
there is crash, sometimes of the cor
ner men, and at other times of the
anti-corner men. The proceedings are
of such questionahly honesty, that the
Legislature of Illinois has declared the
operation Of II corner to be felony. 1t
is nevertheless still practiced. Cor
ners are attempted in wheat, oats, bar
ley, pork, and lard, and some of them
have been quite successful in u pecu-
mary way. 1t requires nerve, audac-
ty, and money, or credit. Recently II
bank here went into corner, issu ing
its certificates of deposit for margins;
the corner failed, and so did the bank,
and the certificates have never been
paid. u. w. Shehm ON "Chcago;"

10 this instrument, the members
arc to receive five dollars II day for
the first seventy days, and after
wards, should the Legislature sit
longer, at tho rate Of one dollar IL
day. We fancy the Missouri lcgis-
laturo will rarely prolong It's sit
tings beyond tho seventy days,
SO much embarrassment has
grown out Of hasty and special leg
isIation, that some restriction
will, no doubt, be thought
necessary. The Missouri conycn-
ton, following the lead Of that OF
Pennsylvania, adopted II clause Tor
bidding all special legislation, and
requiring cvcry bill, no matter how
important, to be printed, ana reAu
in full, on three several days, ana
that the journals Of tho two houses
shall show that these reqnIremchlS
wcro complied with. This will put
an cilcctual bar TO the vicious prtc-
ticc of rushing bills through, ut the
close of tho session, merely by hav-
ing them read by their titles, and,
by II suspension Of tho rules, passed;
often without five members OF tho
House knowing anything OF Their
contents, except upon the er PdIle
statement Of some Interested friend
OF the bills.
Another important duty OF the
Convention will be to define the
relative duties Of tho three Depart
mcnts Of the Govcrnmont-tho Leg
isIativo, Executive and Judicial
AS between the first two, their COR
relative powers and duties are 50
well understood by all intelligent
men that perhaps the rcadoption OF
the clauses OF tho Constitution OF
1915, will be all that is required.
But as between tho Executive and
Judicial Departments, something
more exact and unambiguous is re-
luired TO define their relation to
each other, than exists in the pres
,nt Constitution. This will scarce.
" be questioned when we recall tho
litigation OF n year ago, in regard
to the International railroad bonds.
In that case, it will be remembered,
that ono Ofthe executive officers of the
refused to comply with |
the provisions of u certain law, a
writ of mandamus was sued out,
and, in the final trial Of the cause,
the Supreme Court Of tho State dcci-
dcd that bong co ordinate branches

no authority to compel IN official

Supreme Court, differently constitu-
tod as to one of its Members II few
weeks later, in another case, involv-
ing tho same principles, decided in

not lesson the necessity for less

In these illusions we desire to ex-

EDITORS CLARION: This morning at

discovered on fire. The building was so
much removed from every one that it
was nearly consumed before the fire was
seen. Loss s1O,0O0-no insurance.
This fire will not affect the school at
all. The building was formerly the Fee
male Seminary, which [ purchased after
my other fire, and which was too far from
our dining hall and domitories. | shall
Immediately erect suitable buildings on
the location of the original chapel, and
the school will certainly be opened on

veniently equipped than heretofore.

to sustain me in this crisis. l had in
tended to move the building which was
burned this morning. SO soon as l was
able, and now will promptly erect the
necessary accommodations, and on the
proper location. Everything shall be
ready by the opening of school.

the burned structure, a stock of school
books and all my Office stationery, with
Mr.. Ranson's library. many of my own
valuable books, considerable furniture
and other effects, were destroyed.
| OF course, no one knows the origin of
the fire. The house was not occupied,
except my Office during the day, and
consequently there has been no fire on
the premises since early in the spring.
