survey and is expected 10 build the east
ern section which comprises over one
third of the line. The following is an
outline of the region proposed TO be
tapped by the road:
The name of SOudsn is applied by
geographers TO the region lying between
The Sahara on the north, the basin OF the
Nile on the east, Senegambia on the
west, and Guinea and the unexplored
regions of Equatorial Africa on the
south. This vast territory is about five
and half times as large as France. 1t
has been explored in large part by Mungo
Park, Clapperton, Denham, the brothers
Lander, Caille, Barth, Mage, Gerard
Rohlfs, and Nachtigsl. The western
part is watered by the Niger and the
eastern part is composed chiefly of the
valley of the Benuwe, the principal
tributary of the Niger, and of a number
of alluviAl basins surrounding large
lakes. Speaking in general way, the
Soudan may be said TO be an immense
plain, having the triple conditions of
great fertility-a deep soil, abundant wa.
ter and tropical climate. The region
is we'll populated by tribes of negroes
who live in villages under the rule of
petty chiefs, and who gain an easy
subsistence by cultivating the land.
Some of the tribes are MohOmetans;
others are fetish worshippers. The
agricultural resources of S0udan are very
great. Its productions are cotton, coffee,
indigo. rice, pepper ginger, wheat, barley,
maize, dates, and great variety of fruits
and vegetables. To tap this vast, rich
country by railroad, bring its varied
products TO the market of the civilized
world and supply it with manufactures,
Is an ambition worthy Of a great nation
like France

But it L. especially TO live stock pro-

Ing and HAttening An Unlimited number
Of live stock. The export trade in cattle
has reached such dimensions and In
creAsing % rapidly that growers can ex-
pect steady prices.
The total value Of the cattle, sheep.
horses, mules, best In barrels. and mutt
too In barrels, reported In 1880 At New
York, Boston, Baltimore and Canada,
was $1o. ~. TIE, being largo gain over
the previous year. When the trade In
beef commenced 10 was small and un-
certain, the shippers were inexperienced
and the EnElishmAn was suspicious Of
American meats, especially when killed
on this side. LOss from these causes
frequently occurred. Then in the begin
ming the main export Of cattle WAS from
Texas, the stock being Of inferior grade,
and after time found In 9 diseased con-
dition. For . time export fell Oh, but
when the improved grade stall fed cattle
from Illinos and other western states be-
gan TO pour into England trade gained

The frst necessity In the live stock
trade with England is to mako the ship
ping Of diseased animals rs near impoE-
slblo as strict rules can. But the most
important condition for success and
profit 10 an improvement In the grade OF
cattle shipped. There II is that the state
Of Kansas has her opportunity.
The demand in the future will be for

opportunity for export trade will Be
opened, and it is quito probable that
: live stock and cut meats can be shipped
from the west to England by water BY

PARRAL SILVER MINES.
Estimated Net Proceeds OF the Prleta
Mines, Located at Parral, Mexico,
1t Being One of the Six Mines Owned
by The Knots Mexican Silver
Mining Company
.ibu

by The Knots Mexican silver
Mining Company
Kokomo undiana) Tribune.
In answer to many inquiries concern
ing the prospects and progress of the K.
M. s. NJ. Co, the following is respect
fully submitted:
The mill now on the ground is eX-
pected to be running by the middle of
April, and will have capacity for re-
ducing seven tons per day-rather
small for the magnitude of our mines,
but will do for start. The ore is in
creasing in richness as the depths of the
mines are reached. The last ore assay
ed of which We have an estimate, aver
aged $3.50 per ton. Starting on seven
tons per day, we shall reduce one hun
dred and siXty-eight per month, which
would weld 500, $50. Deduct $3.50 for
mining, reducing and salaries allowing
$25 per ton for mining and reducing,)
and there will remain $21, 305. One
twenty-tOurth of this, $SSS, belongs TO
MexicanS owning an interest in the
mines, leaving $20,4l7.
HOW DISPOSED OF.
Col. T. II. BriIghurst says: The sill
yer taken from the mines can be sold al
Parral for its market value in New York
City less Is per cent. commission, and
can be sold in any quantity and at any
| burg, Liverpool or New York for IA per
cent, this covering freight, in
| surance and duty. The insurance
| is good. Loss never occurs"
| If the silver is sold in Parral at Is per
cent discount, there will remain ST.
| 354, to be divided among the stockhold-
ers according TO the amount of stock
| owned by each on a basis of $500, 600
| the entire capital stock of the company.
This will make 80 per cent. per month
on seven tons per day, and on one hun
! dred tons per day will make SO per cent
| per month.
A letter lately received from Joseph
/ Knots, who is now at the mines, Ms,
! sures US that enough of the mine is now
cleaned out to furnish one hundred tons
of ore per day, which will yield from
| $75 to $3.50 per ton, and will average moi
less than $50 to 100 per ton. Seven tons
per day at $50 per ton will net 1.S pei
cent. per month, and 100 tons will mel
2t-3 per cent. per month. To work only
seven. tons per day will make it good
| investment, but the company will in
crease their machinery as fast as posi-
Bile until they will reduce from 100 e
300 tons per day. Mr.. Knots also states
that from the consolidated group OF
mines 800 tons per day could be furnish
ed. From the most reliable information
we can reasonably expec; TO realize al
that is stated above. In making the es
innate at $50 per ton, the lowest esti
mated yield of ore and the highest estI
mate of expense has been taken, and We
the revenue will be 255 per cent per an.
mum, net, on 100 tons per day.

The weather in the east is the coolest

1t is reported from New York that a
proposition will be made TO extend $780,
