And al! day long. with her lies dull wrong,
She knoweth no peace, she kaoweth 10 rest.
The flowers bloom, and the flowers die,
And the wild birds sing mid the bush and brake;
The winds sigh low round the rocks below;
But she careth for naught, with be hearts dun

Up in her tower she watches the sea,
Meath the summers smile, meath the summers

And far away In the purple bay,
The sun comes up, and the sun goes down.
The children are playing upon tho sands
They laugh at the waves as they ehb and hovi
But the day il old, and the night is cold,
And she only knowet tn aer lies dull woe,
The ships come in, and the ships 90 oct,
And the summer pssees swiftly away;
The Sea grows whits in the winters bright
But her watch she keepeth day and night
Her hair is white with the falling years,
The children grow old In the fisher town:
And far away in the purple bay,

History shows that wherever true
fi'sure vein has been found it has never
been worked out. Such veins Nrye
been, in at, worked for ages witho t
any percepnble .diminution in their
yield. Where ores have decreased in
value, the ore bodies have increased
in size, the increas of one compcn5s-
ting for the loss of the other. Some
have even increased in their yield,
the quality OF the ore remaining un-
changed. Others have been iourdto
deteriozatc from veins ofsilve- to those
OF baser metals.
Some Of the silver mines Of Mexico
have been abandoned time after time
and have as often been rcopencd By
adventurous spectators and found to
yield largely, TIE Vslentciana nlne
on the Veta Madre of Guanajy,ato was
reopened in 1860 on part OF the lode
considered formerly OF no value, a. d
at the depth of few hundred feet
bonanza was struck (which yielded up
to 1910, s5o,45o,2oo,. During that
time place of 1900 inhabitants
sprsng up there. Then the rich ore
ofthe mine gave Gu at the I roo level.
A large shaft was then sunk 1000 feet
and ore found, but of too low grade
to pay for working consequently the
mine was abandoned and allowed to
fill with water. In 1879, the Anglo
Mexican Company drained the mine
of water, but the expense of pumping
consumed all the profits Of mining,
and it passed into the hands of the
United Mexican Company, and has
since been made to yield largely. The
Veta Grande, at Zacalecas, from 1883
to 1852, yielded s666,ooo,ooo. Near
the surface the ore was exceedingly
rich, but became poorer with depth,
although more evenly distributed
through the ve;a. Fer sona time i
was abandoned on TINS account, Dus
at present is yielding well.
In the two mines above mentioned
the ores are of lower grade as the depth
is increased, but the equal distribution
of the ore through ut the lode,
together with the large amount yielded
make them the sources of an immense
production of silver bullion.
1t is important to note, however,
that throughout all the levels OF these
mines the ores retain their silver-bcar-
ing quality. In the central part of
Mexico this is also the rule, while
further north where on and near the
surface the ores were rich in native
silver, the ores grow poorer with depth,
owing. to the predominance of lead,
rendering them Of baser quality. This
is true of mines also in the Carpathian
mountains, in the mines of Shemnitz
and in the vein Of the Gross Ctube in
Felsobanya. al Of vh,ch yielded I'M

The greatest fallacy followed BY
mining men is to suppose that where
there has been the greatest amount
of ore taken from vein that there
the greatest amount must remain,
where a moments reflection should
show that just in proportion as ore has
been excavated, that in that proper
ton has the metal contents Of the vein
been exhausted, SO that the s1o,ooo,
600 expended in the bottom of the
Comstock vein the last three years
has been IN direct opposition to all
practical economical knowledge of
mineral veins !; and millions Of dollars
invested in mining in the Sutro Tun-
nel was in direct opposition to every
geological law connected with the
economical drainage Of the Comstock
ores.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1882-03-16

Success in mining is st: med, other
things being equal, by adopting means
to the end. 1t isnot so much game
Of chance as IN using good business
judgment. The calling is just as le-
gitimate and is far more likely to re-
turn very large incomes than many
other branches in which men engage.
the sooner miners get over the idea
that the tickle gods preside over their
fate-tlla. luck has no more TO do in
making locations than developing
the sooner they will be rewarded.
Luck is poor thing to be guided by,
and is seldom attended with the sue
cess which is desired by miners. The
best men in mining camps are those
who 60 about the work legitinately,
and who use much the same forthnught
which is found in any other business
These win the highest success soonest,
and use their so-called good fortune to
better advantage when it is secured.

the veins of the Hartz mountains
show the same deterioration, and it is
only on account Of the large quantities
Of low grade ores extracted that they
can be worked with profit. The veins
of the T-artz mountains have been
followed down over 1000 feet, and
those Of the Skemnitz nearly 1900
feet.
In contrast to these mines are those
of FreiDerg where the ores, like those
of the Comstock. increase in richness
With depth. The mines of Quatorce,
in Mexico, belong to tie same class.
The veins in all these mines, how
ever, are narrow and frequently cross
themselves, forming kind of network
of hssures. The same is true Of the
mines OF Chanarcillo, in Chiil, Qua

A DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE

George Hearst is a prominent Demo-
cratic candidate for the nomination fol-
Governor of California. Hearst is re-
puted to be worth at least $3,000,00O,
most Of which sum he made in stock
transactions. Hearst is of the "chiv.
wing" of the party, but halls from
Missouri, and consequently belongs to
the low toned branch of the chivalry,
as explained by the Missourian in his
distinction between low-toned and Il
heightened "chiv." Hearst owns a
Democratic newspaper, the Examiner,
fight. True, Hearst is not a very schol-
arly man, and is not distinguished as a
contributor to any Of our American or
European periodicals. His literary am
bition carries him no further than
writing Want" advertisements for
servant girls, and even this branch Of
literature is conducted in dubious syn
tax and eccentric photography. But
Hearst has money to buy brain service,
as other San Francisco newspaper pro-
prietOrs have done, and the market
being open, Hearst has as good a right
to take advantage of ii as any one else.
1t is good deal if one is an ignOramus
to know the fact and to not advertie SO
ii too extensively by undertaking 10 get
out too deep into the water of argument,
and Hearst knows this much Again,
he confines himself to the plainest of

befog his hearers with big words. Take

latter, is strong, Democr:.tically speak

New YORK, May lS.-Four thousand
immigrants were landed at Castle Gar
den this morning. Among them were
a number of silk weavers from France.
They come to this country owing to de-
preston Of business and the consequent
loss of nearly one-quarter of their for
mer wages. There was party of fifty
grape-growers who will pursue their
calling in Ohio vineyards; also, many
Scotch and English farmers and mer-
chants, and operatives from Manches-

100 are wool weavers. The German

THE ILLINoIs oRIMINaL CODE

The question of thorough revision of the
criminal practice OF Illinois, promises to
prove an important factor in the selection of
the legislature to be elected in that State dur.
ing the coming fall. The present code has been
in force for ffty-five years, or since the reyi.
sion of the criminal code in 1927, and is cop.
led from the New York code of 1903. Differ
ing from the general practice of the states,
this statute makes The jury the Judge of both
the law snd the facts. During the existence
of the Colonial government in this
country the legislatures of the colonies found
it necessary, in order to protect the peonle
from oppression By the judicial sppointees of
the Grown, to make the iaries judges of the
law as well as the facts of case. And
although the necessity for Tie continuance of
this feature of the practice did not survive
the independence of the colonies, it was in
corporated in the Revised Code of New York
in 1903, and copied in the Illinois Statutes in
1897.
In every instance where the legislature of a
State has lodged this extraordinary power
with the jury, confusion has followed, and
the Appellate courts have been kept busy in
trying to bring order out of chaos. In all the
leading States of the Onion, this feature of
the criminal practice of Illinois is unknown.
and as it is absurd and iudefensible, and with
nothing to recommend it to the bar of that
State save its venerable years, the system
will no doubt be condemned at the coming
election, and one substituted more in keeping
with the requirements and spirit of the crimi-
nal practice OF the country.

The proposed withdrawal of Nelson by the
Washburn gang develops new complications
in the suspicion among the Nelson men that
Hon. s. G. Comstock, of Moorhead, is urging
the withdrawal with a view of securing
the job of being compromise
candidate himself. A Moorhead correspond.
emf gives this statement, though lust
how Comstock would be an improvement on
Nelson is not explained. He coald have no
prestige of regularity, because he was one of
the boilers and would represent that faction.
The proposition on his part is evidently based
on the theory that the Scandinavian vote
belongs to the Nelson crowd and that he
(Comstock) can secure some of the intelligent
American or English speaking vote which is
sure to go for Kindred as the contest stands at
present. 1t is decidedly cool for Mr.. CON-
stock to assume that he can hold
the Scandinavian votes as solidly as
Mr.. Nelson, but the desire to get rid of
their hopeless candidate has probably blinded
the gang to good many points. Nelson
cannot withdraw without many of his coun-
trymen feeling offended, and il he
remains in the field as bolter his pros.
poets are hopeless. 1t shows the desperation
of their cause when the leaders of the Nelson
campaign urge tAe always extremely danger
GUS plan, of changing candidate in the midst
of a fight. Their only excuse is that desperate
cases require desperate remedies and as defeat
is now inevitable a change will make matters
no worse.
