The Worlds Tin Mines.

Pure tin is an elementary metal,
 as much so as lead, iron, silver and
 gold. The principal tin producing
 country is England. The Phoeni
 cians traded with England for tin HOO years before the Christian Era. There Is reason to believe that they got tin from Spain, also; but Eng
 land was depended on for nearly all the tin used in Europe, until this ore was discovered in Germany in 1240. It was discovered in North Africa, in the Barbary States, in 1920; in India in 1740; in New Spain in 1762. Tin was mined in Mexico before the Spanish conquest, and rscd in T. shaped pieces for money, and in a brown composition for sharp tools, the principal mines being in Tasco. Peru has valuable mines of this metal; so have New South Wales, Australia, Banca, and Malacca, in the Malay Peninsula, Tin has been discovered m Pennsylvania, Mis- souri, California and other States of the Union, but not in quantities to tempt capital to engage Tn mining 1t. The chef in producing coun-  tries are the following, arranged in the order of their importance: Eng land, about 10000 tons a year; Ma lacca, about $500 tons; Australia about 6,000 tons; Banca, about 4,000 tons; Billitou, about 5000 tons. Both of these last named places are islands of the Dutch East Indies.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Happiness.

It Is mistaken idea. entertained by many, that riches are necessary to perfect happiness. l. Is scarcely necessary to state a fact so well un- dcrstood, that many men and women possessed of great wealth are exceed ingIy unhappy. A thousand things occur in the fluctuations and busy scenes of life to bring sorrow and dis content to the homes of the rich as well as those of the poor It is in the homes of the people of moderate means, as a rule, that happiness is found. The highest riches do not consist in princely income, there is greater wealth than this Itconsists in a good constitution, good diges- tion, a good heart, stout limbs, a sound mind, and clear conscience. Some one says that good bones are better than gold. .tough muscles than silver and nerves that 4aSR nre and carry energy to every function are better than houses and lands. Better than money is a good disposi- ton, and that man is rich who has generous impulses, a noble soul, and who has the courage to keep the even tenor of his way, whatever may betide him. Such a man is rich, though not accounted so when meas ured by money standard, but he stands unmeasurably higher m point of true worth than the agaricious cormorant whose only claim to con- sideration consists in his money bags. --Ex.

Six Hundered Miles Saved.

With the completion of the Allan tic & Pacific bridge across the Colo rado at the Needles the route Of the present road from St. Louis to San Francisco over the St. Louis & gan Francisco, Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and Atlantic & Pacific, will be 285 miles shorter than the present one. and with the completion of the St. Louis & San Francisco across the Indian Territory it will be 530 miles shorter, while, in addition, with the completion of the Atlantic < Pacific direct through to San Francisco, the distance saved will be increased to over six hundred miles. The fact of this immense saving in distance Is of itself sufficient to ensure, in due tune, the construction of the contemplated line from St Louis to Albuquerque, and of the Atlantic & Pacific from the Needles to the coast. It will then be. indeed the great Ipter-Ocean Route. Prescott Miner.

A Good Story From England.

A story comes from England to the effect that Mir. Justice Moule, in pass ing sentence on arural prisoner used the following words: ''Prisoner at the bar, your counsel thinks you in nocent, the counsel for the prosecu- ton thinks you innocent, l think you innocent. But jury of your own countrymen, in the exercise of such common sense as they possess, which does not seem to be much, have found you guilty and it remains that l should pass on you the sentence of the law. That Is, that you be kept imprisoned one day, and as that day was yesterday, you may go about your business"

There is no necessity of lying re- garding your property. If 1t is a prospect, say so-don't call 1t mine and represent that the whole four foot vein will run as high as the lit tie exceptionally rich piece you had assayed, Falsehoods will result only in making the proposed purchaser suspicious of both you and your mine.
