Prof. VIM. Z. Blake was examined before
the House Committee on Foreign Affairs to-
day, in relation to his reports in connection
with the Emma mine. He testified that he
made two reports, the first one of which was
favorable and was published; the second was
very unfavOrable, and coTrec ted the views
expressed In his former report. This was
suppressed. The continuation of the evil
dence of this witness was postponed until he

London previous TO the sale of the mine that
the probable yield of the mine would be
eco, eco per annum; that this was based upon
the yield during the year previous TO issuing
the prospectus, and on Prof. Silimans re.
port. He said he supposed persons who
wanted 10 purchase stock would look into IL
before they made any purchases, and that
the people OF England were better posted in
regard to the value of the mine than the
people in this country. He said since he re-
turned TO this country, after disposing of The
Emma mine, he had paid 100000 in gold for
mines, the value OF which was not 500. coo.
The prospective value, however, was SiOO-
600. Mines were always bought in this way,
and not like wheat, when you only paid for
every bushel you received. He had recently
paid $50, 900 In gold for q mine in Nevada,
and had never got dollar out of IL.
