NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The Ken

says: The wonderful performances
of st. Julien at Oakland, make him
If the track is a mile-King OF
the Trotting Turf. But the ques-
ton arises, is the Oakland Park
track mile, over which in the
time st. Julien trotted? If not,
has st. Julien the right to claim to
be King of the Trotting Turf? An
old turfman. who has spent several
seasons in California, informs us
that several years since the Oak
land Park track was not mile,
but lacked some thirty or forty feet
of it, measured three feet from the
inner rail. Ofou own knowledge
we know nothing of the length OF
this track. 1t may have been
heightened since that time, or 1t
may not. If the track is forty feet
short, st. Julien's time would be
about 2:l3a, instead of 2:l24. To
put the question of st. Julien's
performance beyond quibble, 1T
would be well that the Oakland
Park track should be measured
three feet from the inner rail by a
competent and reliable engineer.
Mining Bsreau fn New York.
NEW YORK, Dec. 9th.-The
United States Mining Investment
Company is the name Of an organ
ization just announced here, the
object of which is stated to be
practically that of a Bureau to
meet pressing demands for reliable
information relative to gold and
silver mines. For this purpose
large corps of engineers will be em-
ployed to examine all the best
Western mines, and agencies will
be established in the mining dis
tricts. Only dividend paying mines
will receive the attention or the
Company. The belief of the or
ganizers is that nearly SO per cent
of the mines, the stock of which is
offered in the Eastern markets, is
not worthy of endorsement. The
information Of the Company will
be sold to regular subscribers or
other applicants. The following
officers were elected: Edward Bates
Dorsey, President; Henry Have
meyer, James d. Fish, VIM. ID.
Guion, A. Foster Higgins, Arthur
f. Wilmarth,i Vice Presidents; 5.
A. Wheelwright, Secretary; John
G. Bancker, Assistant Secretary
L. l.. Jones, Treasurer. The capital
stock is 100000.

NEW YORK, December 9th.-The
condition of the South American
Republics at war is cleverly de-
scribed by the Berlin Kreuz-Zei-
tunq, which says: Chile is poor,
has few debts and pays them. Pc
ru, in spite of her proverbial rich
ness, is equally poor, and has an
enormous amount of debts, which
she promises to pay but never does
pay. Bolivia is also poor, is heav-
lily in debt, promises nothing and
pays nothing.
