Labor and Wages. in Europe

WASHINGTON. August 5th.-A recent
investigation by United States consuls in
various European countries, at the re-
onpst of the State Department, clearly
proves the following facts:
Ftrss. That wages in the United States
are double those of Belgium, Denmark,
France and England; three times those
of Germany, Italy and Spain; and four
times those of the Netherlands.
Second That the prices of the necessa-
rles OF life are lower in the United States
than in Europe, and that the laborer in
the United States, were he satisfied with
the scanty and miserable fare upon which
the European laborcr must live, can pur'
chase ike food for less money than 1t can
be purchased for il Europe.
Third. That the French working peo
pie, with far less wages, are happier than
the working people of Great Britain, who
receive the highest wages ia Europe, OF
account Of the steadiness and the econom
! ieal habits of the former, ard the strikes
drinking habits, and consequent reckless
ness Of the latter.
Fourth. That more misery results from
strikes. drinking, Socialism, and Conmun
ism in England and Germany than fror
all other causes combined, hard time

One Of these precious bars was made every

| We have been pleased to hear good

regarding the st. Louis and Bushell
mines from the report of Col. j, D. Ora

for our interests.
ga large amount of material for the
furnaces is already purchased, and awaits
my order to ship from this city, as well
as the most particular and important parts
of the Iixivlation works, the vats, silver
tanks, silver boxes, etc, all OF which have
been constructed here, of the very best
material, and are now ready to ship to the
mill site. Affairs are in such shape that
within sixty days from the date of pur
chasing the remainder of the material
the works can be in full operation, and
over half OF this time will be required to
freight the machinery, etc, to the Sonoita.
We have an abundance of timber on our
own land with which to build the mill,
thus saving us many thousands of dollars.
The roads from the mines to the mill site
have been improved, a first-class bridge
built across the Sonoita, the tail-race fin
ished, 10000 adobes made on the spot,
and everything done that can be done
until machinery is purchased and sent

WASHINGTON, July 31-The United
States Consul at La PaZ, Mexico, in a
dispatch to the Department of State,
gives some interesting information in re-
gard to trade on the western coast OF
Mexico, including Lower California. AT
ter residence there of sixteen years, he
has observed of late q diminishing trade,
fewer ships from Europe and with
drawal of mercantile houses from bust
ness. Importations from California have
almost ceased. This is the effect of the
present Mexican tariff, which also in
creases smuggling all along the coast
as well as on the Rio Grande. Emil
grafton to Arizona and New Mexico is
constantly going forward.
