At that hour an alarm called portion Of
the fire department to South Meridian and

forts are without avail and the flames
spread rapidly. To the north Of Erwin's
was located the Wholesale grocery house Of
George w :. Stout 4 Co.. and by l2 o'clock
both buildings, handsome four-story struct-
ures, stocked with valuable merchandise,
were destroyed. On the south new four
story building, belonging to Pearson &
Wetsell, Just completed but not yet occu-
pied, was consumed. The extensive dry
goods store OF Byrne x Cornelius was s
great danger for time, but will
probably be saved. The intense
heat from the burning buildings

RUssIA's MINISTER OF FINANCE
@ TRIES TO BE PACIFIC.
He Calls Attention to the Reduction In
the Army Budget-on the Other
Hand Knowing Ones See War Is
Certain.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. l3.--The minister
Of finance reports that the army budget
has been reduced, in conformity with
Russia's pacific policy. He says the esii-
mated surplus in the budget for 1883 is
due to improved economic conditions, al
though il would be rash to conclude that
the improvements would be permanent.
Much remains to be done. Obstacles
to the progress of agriculture, commerce
and industry must be removed
and diligent labor and economy are needed
before the dark features OF the economic
condition can be oblitented. Equilibrium
In the budget is not obtainable by mere
retrenchment II is necessary to increase
the revenue without injnring the peoples
productive power The exiraditonary rev.
enue should be raised to 81, OOJ, 900 roubles,
although the budget mentions only 81
100000, because some measure was not en-
forced at the beginning Of the year and
some newly taxed articles heretofore es-
caped customs control. Increased duties,
he minister thinks, may result in the de-
crease of consumption.

Electricity in Mining.

It has often been remarked, that there has been but slight improve ment in the methods of ore treat ment, since the first primitive op- erations were made known. It IS true that the machinery of the present day applies the principles of the past in a more economical and extensive manner, but beyond this adaptability the improvement in the direction of new discovery has been limited. The windless and the arastra may be seen in a modified form in tue extensive hoisting works and the ponderous stamp mill, while the processes of amalgamation and banning are clearly visible in the action of the concentrator, and other mechan- ism of the present day.
 There are visible now signs that indicate an important departure and the beginning of a new epoch in tue history of ore treatment, and in fact most of the varied op- erations connected with mining. For some lime the idea has been gradually assuming form and prominence that electricity, as q probable factor in the determina- ton of the combination of differ ent minerals, and their associa- tions under the varied forms in which they appear, might also be made use of, to dlsunite the ma terial which 1t had associated.

The validity of the Maxwell land grant is soon to be put to a severe test. The Interstate com pany, which under the leadership of Charles Goodnight, Texas cattle king, who purchased Beal's grant few years ago, has just secured the original papers in Beal's grant, and will soon insti- tute suits in the United States courts to dispossess the owners of the Maxwell grant, which IS in the territory comprising the Beal grant. The land covers millions of acres in New Mexico, Colorado and Kansas, and is of enormous value, as a number of towns are located therein, Trinidad being one of the number. The Inter- state company began suit in Colo rado some time ago, but found their case was worthless without the original papers, and an agent was sent to Europe to obtain them. After nine years search he succeeded ill finding them, and they are now ready to proceed.
