American Tin.

Some time ago the fact was noted in
these columns of the arrival in this city
of "A carload of tim from the Black Hills
of dakota. the recent arrival Of another
carload Of tin ore, this time from the
mines Of West Virginia, still further
United States, IN two widely separated
districts. Whether there is "pienty of
it, rs the Chicago Mining Review says
the arrival Of these samples indicates,
yet remains 10 be demonstrated. 1t Will
be very gratifying to find that there is
plenty OF it, and will also be hoped that
there il is accessible and capable of being
reduced and placed upon the market AT
!. cost lower tina the price foreign tin
now commands. Inasmuch as foreign
pig tin is now worth 800 Il ton, there
are f rtunes waiting to be picked mp by
somebody, if there is plenty" Of tin
and it can be placed on the marke,
rhcaply enough.
There seems to be an idea in the pub
lie mind that these supplies of tin, If
they exist, are Of comparatively little
value unless used in the manufacture OF
tin plates. Only this %supposition gives
pertinencv TO remark of the Mining
Review" after assuming that there l.
plenty of tin in this country IF there
was more business and less politics III
oar legislative halls this industry would
be encouraged so that the country would
receive the benefit that should come
from the possession Of a large store of
this valuable mineral" The absurdity
of such an assertion is apparent. If 500
a ton is not encouragement" enough To
mine tin, where there is any to mine. it
had better remain in the ground.
The fact is that there is an ample
market for tin, without any reference to
TO the question whether tin plates be
produced in this country or not. The
mining of tin in this country would play
but a very small part IN promoting the
manufacture of tin plates mere. This
will be apparent wnen it is remembered
that the cost of freight from foreign
countries is an insignificant portion of
the entire cost of the tin delivered in
this cuontry.-American Timer

Washington special to the st. Paul
Globe: Congressman Hill, of Ohio, will
be here by the middle of the month.
1t is likely that there will be several
important conferences between that
gentleman and Mr.. Day before congress
meets, which will bear fruit in January,
if not sooner. Congress does but little
before the HOLIDAYS, even in the short
session. But the Hill bill for the d;vis-
i'm oftbe territory, after submission 70
popular vote, will be vigorously pushed.
There can be no question of the SINGER
ity and earnestness Of the Ohio con-
gresham aud chairman of the commit
tee on territories. If the chairman of
the committee on Indian affairs, Mr..
Wellborn, Of Texas, was as wide awake
to the great interests committed 20 his
care, the Dawes bill would be similarly
pushed

On Tuesday evening last Messrs.
Heman Smith and j. B. Tucker matched
their horses for race, in which the
latter won, and as consequence is as
proud Of his sorrel top pony as a baby
with new tin whistle. As Heman's
horse had inst cleaned up s. M. La
croix's "old sorrel" Jeems thought he
had good reason to jubilate. The finn
of the evening was race between the
horses Of Messrs. Chas. A. Wickliffe
and J. NJ. Rhorer, Jr., in which the first
named carried off the honOrs.

he has conducted a large mercan-
tile business beside practicing al

There are thirteen bills before
the u. s. Senatecommittee on rail-
roads asking for authority to con-
struct railroads, north and south
most of them, through the Indian
Territory.
This fact has a general signifi-
canoe as showing the tendency of
capital, never so plentiful as now,
and likewise the anxiety in the
West to reach an outlet on the
Gulf. 1t has-what concerns this
immediate section more-an un-
questioned significane with refer
ence to railroad along the unde-
veloped but immensely fertile
valleys of the Ouachita and the
Bartholomew. In the face of such
eagerness on the part of railway
capitalists to connect the far South
with the far West, it is impossible
not to see that the old Louisiana
purchase will be united in a few
years by more than one, two or
three longitudinal railroads. In
the struggle for head of the class,
let us hope that the Ouachita Val
ley enterprise, like Forrest, 'the
Wizard of the Saddle" will "get
thar fust and with the most folks p
