JAPAN AND THE PRECIOUS META

JAPAN AND THE PRECIous METALS
Between l649 and 1911, or in the space
OF 22 years, the Dutch exported from
Japan $l4O, 900, 600 in silver, while the
Present annual production Is estimated
to be but about $3.50, 900. But there are
known to be regular fissure veins in the
island, GONE of which are worked at
present by imperfect systems of mining
and reducing the ores. There were no
loss than 93 of these feebly worked silver
mines in 1874. For ninety years the
Dutch also exported large quantities OF
gold from the island.

A BULLDOGS Victory OVER AN ALI
GAroR,-One day last week an alligator
was seen swimming up Sampit river,
near the wharf. Captain David Steel's
bulldog was soon brought forward. and
upon viewing the enemy, plunged off the
wharf to meet it. The alligator saw
what was up and made for the dog.
When they approached each other not a
sound could be heard from the spec
tators, who were expecting the moment
they met, to sea the dog submerged
never to rise again, but the dog got the
first hold, plunging his ugly teeth in the
head OF the terocious monster and
caused il to sink. 1. soon reappeared,
looking rs fierce as eyer. The dog and
alligator were mouth and mouth. nip
and tuck, until it was thought that the
dog had conquered. the alligator disap-
peariDg. The alligator, however, soon
appeared and made for the opposite
shore. Several persons got into boats
and pursued him until he passed under
the wharf. 1t was nip and tuck for a
while, but the dog. soon gaining advan-
tage, brought out his foe dead. The
reptile measured five feet, several inches.

GUATEMALA PLACERs. Some months
since gold washipgs were discovered in
the Department of Yzabel, upon the
Bobos River. A considerable amount of
gold from this location reached the city
of Guatemala from time to time. The
attention of President Barrlos was finally
called to it. and he personally visited
the placers recently. They were found
to be very rich, and arc estimated to
cover space of about nine leagues
square, near the Atlantic coast, on land
belonging to the government. well tim
bered and well watered. and near good
port. A Commissioner who visited the
placers with President Barrios, has been
appointed by him to visit the United
States. and procure the services of q
thoroughly practical mining engineer to

report on the deposits referred to.

As instances Of the Turks aptitude for

the stubborn resistance Of silistria IN

Growing victory Of Eupatoria, which

las ca this point il is worth while to
quote the words oil an eminent military
critic Of the present day, whose long
personal experience Of Turkish troops
gives special weight to bis opinion:
I'm holding his ground, against any

sweeping down upon him 40, 600 strong,
where lie stands yonder. solitary sen
tinel, be would fire his piece among

his implicit faith in DESTINY. and his

and the Sultan, he is capable Of endur'

that manned 80 stanchly the wall Of be
leaguered Kars. Take care Of the Off
GERS, keep the Pashas hands from
brides, and you may trust the Turkish
soldier that no Russian regiment ever
reaches the gates Of Constantinople. "
The last clause sounds almost pr o
phetic, in the face of the efforts now
making TO secure the services of the
Hungarian General Klapka. 1t is Ger

A gentleman connected with lead
ing bank 10 New York city aud mem.
Der OF the clearing house has made an
estimate of the losses occasioned by
the strike, which is perhaps as nearly
accurate as any that can be obtained.
These losses are estimated on the latest
returns Of the different roads, and in
clude perishable articles destroyed and
contracts annuled, destruction of oil
and other valuable freight, cattle and
other live stock killed, for which the
taxpayers will not be responsible,
The losses, as given in the New York
correspondence of the Boston TrdUeller;
are as follows: Baltimore IL Ohio,
s., $50, 600; Peunsylvani ia Central, 81.
500, 900 Chicago e Fort Wayne, 81 :
200. 600: N. Y Central, 81 900 900 ;
Erie, SO ,000, 900; Lake Shore, 81, $50,
600; Michigan Central, $500, 900 ;
Canada Southern, $750,000 Delaware,
Lackawana & Western, 100000 ;
Delaware & Hudson. 81, 200. 900 Jer.
sey Central, 5000, 600 Rock Island,
SO. 900, 900. But going beyond these
items, and looking at the loss caused
by the suspension OF traffic, we find the
figures swelled enormously The loss
TO business men throughout the dis
turbed states is put at $4,000, 900.
The destruction of rolling stock and
other property which must be paid for
by the taxpayers, is estimated, all told,
at $40, 900 900. The entire estimated
10 So from all sources is placed at no
less than $50 900, 900. And enormous
as this sum seems, it has been reached
by several highly competent author
tiles. Thus this immense amount Of
value has been destroyed by the strikes,
and there is so much less left in the
hands Of those who directly and indi
rectly give employment TO large mum
