OVERLOOKED 4!

Mining Revi'wl
The message Of the President of the
United States annually laivered to the
representatives of the people assembled
in congress, is Il document usually
looked forward to with some interest.
The marked features in the annual
message just delivered appears to be
the absence Of any mention of some
of the most prominent industries and
interests of the people. Almost the
first mention made, and one that stands
prominent by its position, is the one
of fishing, which perhaps interests but
a very small proportion of the people
of this vast country. Notwithstanding
the fact that the President of the
United States, during the past summer,
travelled over large portion of our
Western Territories, there is no indica-
ton that the United States possesses
any mineral resources, or that any
portion of its people are interested in
the industry Of mining. There is no
evidence in the Presidents message to
SNOW llldb lllG AAENtlOplilNlib VI iliNoN
vast Western Territories, and the estab-
lishment within their borders Of vast
railroad and other Industrial influences,
was the direct result Of the unrecog-
nized labor of an important class of
citizens, interested in utilizing the min
eral product with which so large part
of this country has been blessed. In
fact, the mining industry, with all of
the achievements of the past, and its
promise for the future, its untold inilu-
ence upon the present and future pros
perity and prominence of national
existence is entirely ignored by the
Chief Magistrate Of the nation, upon
which it has bestowed such vast ben
efits
From the organization of the United
States mints in 1898, to the close Of the
fiscal year, 1881, it is estimated that the
product of the mines OF the United
States in gold and silver alone has
reached a sum not less than $1,000.

Abandonment of Mines.

In n recent issue Of the Chicago Min
ing Review, the legal department has
the following relative to the abandon
ment of mines:
First "An abandonment can only
take place where the occupant leaves
the land free to the appropriation Of
the next conner, whoever he may be,
without any intention to repossess or
reclaim it for himself, and regardless
and Indifferent as te what may become
of it in the future
"Second. Abandonment is mixed
question of law and fact. If in fact Il
person intends to give up his mining
claim and quits paying assessments i'll
pursuance of that intention, it is an
abandonment in fact.
"Third. Abandonment in its com
mon law sense is purely n question Of
intention.
Fourth. An abandonment takes
place when the ground is left by the
locator withoutany intention of return
ing or making any further use Of it,
independent of any mining laws or
regulations"

gives but a small proportion of the
actual amount produced hence the
statement is certainly belew the actual
product In addition to the product of
gold and silver, it will be admitted
that the other minerals will certainly
equal this amount, so that the present
century of the Republic has received
from the mining industry Of this country
alone an actual value of over $1,000
100000 largely in the form Of n perma-
nent and indestructible wealth, which
has in no small measure alden the es-
tablishment and development of other
important industries and form ed the
basis and foundation in many cases of
population, and has been vital force
in the growth and prosperity OF the
whole country.
At the present time 4 most conserva-
tive statement places the product OF
our gold and silver mines alone at
$100,000,000 per annum, and if to this
sum is added the large and increasing
| interests of coal, iron and copper and
many other branches which may be
! Justly classed under the general head
! of mining, some estimate of the growth
md importance of this industry may
/ be obtained In addition to this sub
stantial product poured into the chan
nels of trade and commerce to vitallze
and strengthen every tide of national
prosperity, the government alone re-
ceived as profit on coinage and depos-
| ties of bullion and assays during the
last year nearly S5,000,000, yet the fact
| that such an industry or unmeasured
resources to sustain and perpetuate for
centuries II magnificent increase of
these figures Is entirely ignored, and
receives no sign or mention in nation
al message, professedly devoted to the
important interests and careful consid-
Grafton of the public good. 1t is safe
/ to conclude from the appearance of
things that the government will still
appropriate millions of dollars to adj
vance the private interests of certain
classes of citizens. That appropriations
amounting to millions will be made to
dredge rivers and build docks for the
4 private advantage of flat boats and
oyster scows; that it will pay the eX-
penses of sea bug commissions and
star gazing expeditions; that millions
of acres of the public domain will be
granted to private corporations, but
that the miner will be compelled to
build his own roads and pay most eX-
tortionate prices in labor and money
for little tract Of barren mountain
side, upon which he endeavors to locate
and develope mine, while the pros
perity of the whole country is estab-
ished and sustained on the product of
this lily requited and unappreciated
large class of worthy citizens.

Conference Committee of Manufacturers

PIrrsBURG, April THE national conven-

Iron and Steelworkers assembled here this
morning for the purpose of arranging scale
of wages for the ensuing year. Forty-eight
delegates were present from all parts of the
country. The sessions are held with closed
doors, but after adjournment President JAR
rett was seen, and from him it was learned
that the morning session was taken up al
most entirely in effecting an organization.
The proceedings were harmonious. No de-
mands for an increase have so far been made,
and the probability is that last years scale
will be reaffirmed.
The scale convention was in session until
nearly midnight After adjournment Pres-
dent Jarrett stated to the Associated Press
representative that the proceedings would
not be made public. A committee had been
appointed to meet the manufacturers, but
with what power they were invested he re-
fused to say. The conference committee of
the manufacturers and workmen will meet
within the next two weeks. A manufac-
turer interviewed tonight said That if the

THE BILLIARD PLAYERS.
Schaefer's Closing Run-A Charge that the
Game Was Thrown.

Chicago II erald
Close playing on both sides placed the
score at 492 points for each in the twentieth
inning. Schaefer started in with several
brilliant Masse shots, and demonstrated his
right to the title of king of the Masse"
players. He ran his score up steadily in the
twenty-first inning until he had turned 100
points, and, with each subsequent play, the
anxiety OF the vast audience increased.
Faces were blanched and eyes agog watching
his play. The tension seemed terrible, and
every one was on their feet. Vignaux stood,
his face suffused with blood, and the clam
my perspiration on his broad forehead.
Click, click, click, and with each gentle tap
OF the cue the Frenchman saw his coveted
81, 200 and medal as champion of the world
slip away. mighty yell broke forth when
''109 points, and game was called forth,
The crowd rushed and caught the victor in
their arms, and with cheers bore him out OF
the hall, where carriage, from which the
horses had been detached, stood, and through
the slush and mud he was drawn by strong
arms to the Brunswick Billiard-room, on
Washington street. 1t was game long TO be
remembered in Chicago.
A writer in the Tribune having charged
that the game was thrown" good deal OF
excitement resulted in billiard circles, and
at banquet held at the Palmer House, on
Saturday evening, the following was read and
signed
We, the undersigned, contestants in the Bake

deciding game of Friday evening, between
Messrs Sehaefer and Vignaux. We unite in pro-
