silver mines Of Maine. il now hard ct
work there. and says that with the same
amour. Of Developments he has never
seen such indications OF vast mineral
wealth anywhere q be fnds In that re-
zion. Professor W. Frank Stewart,
another wsll-known old Comstocksr. and
geological and meteorological expert.
writes TO the Maine Mining jour
nal Of the advantages. material and
artificial, which Maine possesses above
her sister States and territories for sx-
psdiuous and profitable mine working.
In the intsrcontinsntal mining regions
the only method Of obtaining supplies
Of machinery. etc.. is BY tedious and
expensive overland railways; while here.
there are the double advantages OF cheap
rates and rapid transit, by either railroad
or water craft. In the far West. labor
and most Of the necessities Of life cost
i've times - much a. in Maine. Tho
mines Of New England are In the very
heart Of prosperous and refined eonmu-
nitiss. He thinks there arc innumsr-
able . Why Maine should speedily
take position as . great mining centre.

"a Gentleman from Nevada"

A comedy in four acts BY G.. b. Jss-
sup, entitled "a Gentleman from Ne.
vada." il now produced for the frat time
at the Boston Museum. The Journal
says the story opens at Rye Patch. .
wsy station in the Humboldt mining
region.
A young English Lord and his sister.
who are crossing the continent, are left
behind by the train at the mercy OF Q
rough lot OF minersand gamblers, one Of
whom, an individual known a. English
Jack. murders his titled oountryman.
Gall bsfriends the party and protects the
lady, though powsrless to defend her
brother. The remaining three acts are
laid in England. at the homo Of the
Egsrtons. Reginald, . younger son.
has succeeded to his murdered
brothers title a. Earl, and is living
with his proud mother and his
two interesting sisters. Christopher
Columbus Gall arrives a. . rich and in.
dependent American sovereiSn. and one
John Tuttle. q wealthy stock Spectator.
also visits the house. The latter. 1t
seems, possesses Q piece OF compromis.
ing paper. with which hs hopes to force
the family to accept him a. q prospective
husband Of Lady Alice. The eccentric
American Ia in love with the young lady,
and Ia beloved in return. The methods
taken by him to save the honor Of the
family and to show up Tuttle (who 10
none other than English jack In his
true colors furnish the later scenes with
an abundance Of incident. while the
Americans disquisitions on art and his
own love making afford an OVERLOOKING
fund Of humor. The hrst act, though
spiced with characteristic pictures OF
rough mining life, IL somewhat grim.
but the remaining acts are bright.

Americas Mineral Wealth.

In q recent lecture before the Women's
Bullion Club. New York, Professor j.
s. Nswbsrry said: Gold and silver are
included in our inheritance. Not long
ago Il was said that 70 had no gold.
Since lsl7 We have produced fifteen
hundred millions Of dollars worth. and
since 1859 We have produced four hun
dred and twenty-seven millions OF dollars
worth o! silver. Thus these United
States have become moro productive
than the rest Of the world combined.
Coal and iron we have In superabun.
dance, and II would be an easy matter to
elut the market with them. But OF
gold and silver II Is not 90. They main.
tain q uniformity Of value much better
than the others. In the hills Of the far
West there have been discovered the
greatest stores Of precious metals to DO
found In the world. The Rocky Noun.
tain range 10 saturated with silver like .
sponge. We have only begun to draw
from It's treasures. In the Sierra Ne.
vada We find the great gold beds from
which fifteen hundred millions OF gold
have been taken. and they are by no
means exhausted. Our mining interest
is becoming an important branch OF In.
dustry, inferior to no other, and II will
add to our wealth gradually for years to
come. OF the present production OF this
country the following II Is especially
well to know: That from coal $l00. O00..
600 il received; from iron. sos ,000, 900;
from copper. $4,000. 900; from lead.
S., 600. 900. and from mercury, $2,50O,.
900. There has been An outcry that
there would be an over-production OF
silver. But past history shows NJ that
this cannot be the Ease. At Leadvtlle,
1t is at present easy Of access. but Il is
not so elsewhere. There are no indica.
tons OF an over supply. but there will
Q steady flow Of gold and silver. varying
from $40. 600. 900 to $l00. 000, 900 annu.
ally for years to come. The result OF
all my observations for the last twenty
years IL that gold and silver will not glut
the market.

Il was q pleasant sight to sec the institu.
ton again In full blast, or as nearly 90
~ operations would permit after being
open but two days. Everything had .
bustling, CHEEKY appearance, and the
place resoundsd with the whirl and
whirr Of machinery In nearly all the
departments. About fifty men were at
work, and they laborsd a. II the task
was something Of recreation.
cHEERYuL NEWS.
A great change has come over the
institution within the past few days,
both In appearance and prospects.
Those who went TO work on Monday did
mos expect to b retained over . couple
Of months, and Il was generally sup.
posed that the Mint would close down
forever and all It's machinery b oartsd
away 70 the Mississippi Valley. Yes.
terdsy Superintendent Crawford received
Q dispatch from the Department at
Washington ordering him TO lay In Ger.
tain supplies for n year. This would
seem 10 settle the question OF the per.
mansnoy Of the Mint, and neither John
Sherman mol the Tribune will close Il up
at present.
TIE FURNACES IN FULL BLAST.
In the melter and refner's department
the furnaces were In full blast and the
rudy glow Of the Hres liz up the walls
which had been for many months In
shadow. There were Q good many visi.
tors about the place and groups stood
about looking at the seething pots Of
gold and silver and listening to the roar
Of the flames. The workmen were oil
laughing and chatting and all felt In
good humor because OF the resumption.
Later In the day tho word was passed
along the line that the old place was
good for another year and the general
feeling Of good cheer was correspond.
ingly increased.
TIE FIRST ooLD PIECE.
The irst gold piece turned out since
the resumption was cut yesterday about
II O'Clock. A number Of visitors were
on hand 10 see II done. As II was struck
out from the cutter and fell into the box
It was weighed and found q tribe heavy.
The piece was psssedaround among the
crowd and evory n present seemed
ANXIOUS to handle II. II required sew.
sral experiments with the cutting b,fors
o pieos vas dropped which was the right
weight. After everything was properly
adjusted Mr.. Higgins passed q strip
through the machine - fast as he knew
how, and the golden shower rainsd into
the box. Those who saw the prelim.
