Bright Outlook.

There is much brighter outlook for
mining. The financial papers Of the
world point the reasons for revival OF
this great industry. The following
from the Economist is of the same gen.
eral character as most Of the press opin-
ions.
"The signs of the time indicates re-
vival OF mining enterprises during the
approaching season. Many marvellous
ly rich discoveries have recently been
made; improvements in reduction works
have been perfected so as to insure the
working OF lower grade ores at profit,
and transportation facilities are now
completed into most OF the productive
mineral regions where they were lack
ing. 1t has been satisfactorily demon
strated that mining the precious metals
will pay handsomely if conducted pru-

ing from the panic caused by the blum
ders and foIiies perpetrated in the name
of mining, and sensible people are com
ing to tho conclusion that it is just as
well to make 30 per cent out of silver
or gold mine as it is to make five or ten
out of railroad or manufacturing en-
terprise.

Mining has been placed on such a
basis that anything that tends to di-
rectly or In directly lessen the cost OF
production Is eagerly adopted, not as a
passing fashion. but with the earnest
purpose Of keeping abreast Of the times.
In this country we are constantly at
work devising means for improving the
the mechanical appliances Of mining.
Hosting and pumping machinery, cages.
cars, pans, mills and all such things are
being continually simplifed and i'm
proved
In Europe the Same tendency is APP
parent. Here the improvements are
not only in the general design Of ma
chinery, but In its details or construc-
ton or erection. A noticeable feature
In Belgium, for instance, is in the re-
duction OF dead weight In coal tubs and
cages. This is every where being ef-
fected with all the speed that the CAPT
tai at disposal admits OF. The means by
which the reduction is being brought
abont are, first, the improvement OF the
construction Of these portions Of col
liery plant; and second, the substitu-
ton Of steel for iron. BY the use OF
steel plates for coal tubs, remarkably
light vehicles are produced. In one
colliery where tho change has been car
ried out by the gradual substitution OF
steel tubs for the old wooden ones, the
ratio Of the dead to the total weight has
been reduced from SO to 40 per cent.
The old drawing cages are being rapid
Iy replaced by improved steel construc-
tions. These differ somewhat from ex-
listing types, and they certainly combine
the maximum OF strength and rigidity
with the minimum Of weight. Some
recent accidents have again raised at
tention to the question OF safety catches
on cages. Much ingenuity has been
fruitlessly expended upon the mechani-
cal devices for preventing the fatal con-
sequences Of a broken rope, five are to
judge from the great number of con-
trivances proposed, and the fact that
none have been commonly adopted

Jail In this city during the Winter months
the inmates increase. Tramps find their
way into it. during the severe weather. in
large numbers. 1t would be blessing if
there were no tramps, no paupers or GRIM
inals. but they are found in all commune
ties, not excepting those living
in the county Of Kennebec. and
their cases have to be attended
to. In the Winter. as regularly as
snow and frost come they fill our Jail i; in
the Spring. as certainly as the snow goes
and warm weather prevails, they go cut
from the jail and manage TO support them
selves generally through the milder
months of the year. This is the regu-
lar course of things at this Jail and all jails
we presume. Every year tells the same
story. 1t Is the same this year as last.
and will be the same next year
as this. Yet the New Age, MOTTO
ing that the number Of inmates in the
Jail Is less this Spring than in the Winter,
attributes it to the fact that we have new
city marshals IN Augusta and Gardiner.
It might as well claim that the days of
pleasant weather are due to the same
causes and that we only have sunshine

The Result at Utica.
From New York Tribune.


On Monday we spoke of the anti Arthur
victory in New York ~ complete, and depre
Gated any ungenerous or irritating use of the
power thus obtained. BY one Of the curious
freaks to which conventions are liable, this
danger 10 now happily averted, for 1t was the
voluntary act of the Arthur men themselves
which compels their candidate to give up
every delegate-at-large from his own State.
Rather than risk surrender to the stronger of
their opponents. they voluntarily struck their
colors and laid down their arms before the
weaker.
The failure to put even q single candidate
of their own In nomination may be interpreted
as sign of weakness-a fear to show just
what vote they really had. This con-
trasts strongly with the confidence-per
haps the over. .coniidence-of the Blaine men,
who stood out to he counted, and. without
patronage, organization or any avowed candi-
date-agsinst the President in the Presidents
own State--came with six votes CON their
leading candidate. and within eleven
sharp test vote of actually carrying the con-
vention fortnight ago nobody dreamed
that such thing was possible; and the Blaine
strength, displayed under the adverse circum-
stances. is still an occasion of surprise Yet.
remarkable as il Is that on a distinct issue,
nat only against the Administration, but
against the field, the Blaine men should show
such force in the Presidents State, it cannot
be considered in any sense a boom for
Blaine" He was still, as So many times be-
fore. far stronger than anybody else. but Just
fell short of being stronger than every body
else.
The prestige of the victory is worth far
more to Edmunds than the actual gain of
four votes. Ii is shown indeed that Edmunds
had less than hundred votes in the conven-
tion--was in fact remote third in the race
but il also appears that the administration
in case Of its own defeat. is behind him. A
victory due wholly to the cooperation of the
enemy they have been most bitterly denounc-
ing cannot be wholly agreeable to the more
thoughtful of the Edmunds refcrmers; and
the promised coalition for the rest of the
campaign is not an inspiring spectacle. But
the game of politics is thoroughly practical,
and he is thought the winner who gets the
stakes.
The selection Of New York delegates to
Chicago is now complete. The seventy-two
votes of the State are divided A. follows:
For Blaine. ~
For Arthur, z
For Edmunds, IA
Against Arthur. bu: without svowcd prefer.
cnce,
The task of making up this delegation under
the new system ordered at the last National
Convention has been accomplished with less
friction than had been feared. Utica leaves
no serious wounds to be healed; and, so far
as We can see. there is nothing to prevent 3
more hearty union of New York republicans
this fall than We have had for years.
