Silver Circulation.

One of the chief objections made by the opponents of silver coinage was, that 1t could not be forced into cir culation, was not desired by any one, and that 1t would steadily accumulate in the vaults of the national treasury A statement of the treasury depart ment for the year ending August 3lst, shows that the exportation of silver amounted to $29, ,694, 4,315, an increase over the amount exported in 1887, of $6,112,671. In addition to the ex- portation of silver to pay foreign obli gations, the large increase in the cir culation at home, as evidenced by the increased volume of outstanding certi- fcates, proves in the most complete form, the fallacy of the claim and pre- dlction made against silver currency by those who so bitterly opposed it's use. Another argument most ye- hemently presented was, that the effect of even the limited coinage of silver would rapidly drain our national treasury of its gold. The statistics of the Government show that the net gain of gold by importation during the year past amounted to $16, ,1S9, ,S37 , thus showing an important gain over all expenditures and exportations. This condition, which has been con tinued without interruption during 2 past ten years, would seem to be all the argument required to prove the falsity of the position and the weak ness of the argument, which has been urged against the coinage and use of silver. Certainly time enough has been given to bring the results pre- dicted for if the logic is correct, and the basis of the opposition well found ed. As restrictive legislation has been based chiefly upon these two points of objection, 1t would seem that wht n these are proven false and untena- ble, the restriction should be removed. If legislation was in the interest and for the benefit of the people as q whole, instead of for dominant class, these facts would be given some con sideration, and the advantages which would accrue from free and unlimitable coinage of g,ld and silver, withol discrimination according to the need and demand of corporation and in- dividual requirements, would be rec ognized and gain the prominence which their importance demands Chicago Mining Review.

What He Meant.

In one of our district courts, not long since, Ethiopia furnished the plaintiff and defend ant, and the witnesses on each side also could trace their ancestors to "Afric's burning sand" One of the witnesses was rather free and easy sort of parsonage, who came to the stand and underwent the fire of the opposing counsel. After the witness had given testimony, the tone of which showed decided bias against the principal on the other side the latter's attorney took him in hand. ''You do not like MT. Jones very much, seer' ''No, doesn't, '" was the candid reply. Why is it that you 80 dislike himF' "Can't say, boss, unless 'tis he's too much O darky an half to suit dis chile" Here his honor turned to the witness to inquire what he meant by referring to the other as a darky an a half, whereupon the witness replied: ''You see, jedge, call him darky an a half, COZ he puts on too many airs for one nigger, an not quite enough for two.

The VuIture.

J. E. Morrish, general manager of the English company which has pur- chased the mine and mill of the Vul- ture company from Senator Tabor, reached Phenix to-day. He will pro ceed at once to the camp and make ar rangementssfor the resumption of op- erations, which were suspended few days ago, pending the promised trans fer of the property. The publication of these facts will doubtless correct the false impression which some of the territorial papers seemed to have received to the effect that the old Vul- ture had played out. The fact is the deepest workings in the mine are less than 250 feet from the surface. With ample capital and energy, which Eng fish companies generally display in operating mining properties, we antic- ipate that in the near future the out put of the Vulture mine will be greater than ever before-Phenix Arizonan.

The voters of Arizona Territory in both the Republican and Democratic parties are probably not aware that there is certain element in the Dem ocratic ranks that is quietly at work fixing things in the election of our next legislators to have sure thing on the formation of Territorial Cir cult Court The formation of such a court simply means more public off cials to support and more taxation on the people to do so, without any com pensating service whatever. Such a system of courts Is no more needed in Arizona to-day than wagon needs five wheels, and would be a mere use less appendage involving the Territory in great expense. But the object is to make place for office-seekers who pre- fer to live off the people rather than pursuing legitimate business. Let the voters of Arizona look to this matter at once before the election comes off and they may avoid saddling themselves with useless and onerous burden. When the Territory needs more court facilities it will be able to get them by simply and slightly increasing the powers of the Probate Courts without extra expense to the Territory or any of its counties The Herald is sound ing no wild alarm in this matter, and it behooves voters to know what they are doing in this matter when they vote for Democratic candidates on the legislative ticket. They should be made to pledge themselves to their constituency to oppose such a measure with all the ability they may possess Phenix Herald.

A New Industry.

A new branch of industry, according to Iron, is g..rg to revolutionize the lace trade. A New \ ofk dealer is exhibiting specimen of lace of an extremely delicate pattern, and so light that it can almost be blown away by a breath of air This lace is made of steel rolled as fine as the point of cambric needle. It is not woven, but stamped out of a sheet of low grade steel, so that it should not be too brittle. It was turned out of small Pitts burg mill, and sent to the dealer to show what could be done in that line. In the course of time other patterns will be made, heavier, perhaps, but certainly more tena- cious than this piece. There is said to be no question as to its durability, and it's cheap ness would make it the most salable of all faces on the market. It may create a revolution in the lace market if rust can be guarded against

Management.

A few days ago a prominent mining man of long experience in mines and mining business, said to representa- tive ot the San Miguel (Col) Journal Most new mining companies make good assay showings of their ores, or ores of adjoining or neighboring mines They are not worth the labor making them. 1 would rather have a good, reliable assay of the men who are at the head of the enterprise. When a company starts in to develop a mine it never knows what it is going to cost until it gets through. Three of us may go to it. The other two may be ready to put up the full share of the money to strike the bonanza. I may get tired. They do not want to develop my property for my benefit, and they become tired and quit. The mine lies idle for some time, and finally they sell out for little or nothing to get rid oft. The purchasers must have my third, and I get all put in 1t, or may be more. Then another company starts out, and it winds up the same way. Finally a successor strikes it rich, and the stock becomes very valuable, but it is only after successive companies have been organized and gone to pieces. The presumption is that all of these mines will be good, if the persons at the head of them will only stick together; but there's the rub, and that is why an assay of the men is of more moment than of ore. l could have bought Granite Mountain at one time at Is cents, but at that time it was by no means certain that the company would hold together until 1t struck the vein. When it did strike it dollar was cheap, because it was demonstrated that they had some thing to make them stick together. = Mining Review.

Porcelain Shot.

Under the name porcelain shot small white globules of porcelain are made in Munich. These are designed to take the place of or dinary lead shot used for cleaning wine and medicine bottles, as porcelain is entirely free from the objection of producing lead con tamination, which is often the result when ordinary shot is used. Their hardness and rough surface producing, when shaken, greater friction, adapt the porcelain shot well for quickly cleaning dirty and greasy bottles, and as they are not acted upon by acids or alkalies, almost any liquid can be used

4 Sand Storm at Sea.

The British steamship Glenshiel, from the East Indies, recently arrived at New York, reports a sand storm which occurred on the evening of July 10, while the vessel was making for Suez. When half way up the Red sea a most terrific sand storm, which lasted nearly ten hours, suddenly swept down. It was impossible to see anything a ships length away. The wind blew gale, and it was found to be dangerous expert ment to stay on deck for any length of time. The sand was hot, and when it came into contact with the body, would sting like the point of a knife.

 rThe first represents volume of unmixed alcohol aud water. The second-Reduction of alcohol nni water mlxturel
 In the case of the mixture of water and al- cohol, or water and sulphuric acid, curious phenomenon is presented. Take alcohol and water, for example. Two equal volumes of alcohol and water, when mixed, occupy less 5pace than when separate. If the sum of the volumes of the two separate liquids is 100, the volume of the mixture will be only 94 In the case of the mixture of sulphuric acid and water, the difference is greater.
 An easy way to perform this experiment is to fill narrow neeked flask up to line which may conveniently be marked by a rubber band around the neck, then removing cne-half of the water, measuring it exactly, and replacing It with volume of alcohol exactly equal to that of the water removed It will be found that when the liquids are mixed, the mixture will not fll tho flask up 10 the original mark.

Irrigating the Desert.

A Washington dispatch of October 20, says; "About the busiest place in the city now is the Geological soci- ety. Manager J. w. Powell and staff of scientific men are engaged day and night in the solution of the prob lem presented by congress in the new act for survey of arid lands, with a view to the irrigation of the desert lands of the great basin between the Rocky mountains and Central Kansas comprising 100000 square miles, one-third of the entire United States. A great deal of this cannot be eco nomically irrigated for various reasons, but 1t is decided by Major Powell that a quarter of it, and perhaps more, can be, and that it is practicable to make it attractive to settlers. It will bear luxuriant crops and dense popula- ton. If one-fourth were irrigated, 1t would make the other three-fourths valuable as auxjliaries to timber and pasture lands. Regarding this vast undertaking, Major Powell said to the correspondent: I may say we have begun to begin It Is stupendous project, invoving territory as large as Europe, which supports popula- tion of 250,000,O00.
 I see no reason why the land now sterile may not ultimately be brought sufficiently into subjection to be de desirable for farms, and enough of it rendered arabic by irrigation to sup port as many as are able or likely to seek homes upon it. Selections of sites for residences, canals, etc, rest on complete typographical survey which is the first factor in the prob lem. Nothing worth while can be done till that is at least approXimatcd. A large part of the arid region has been surveyed. We are now equipping thirteen parties for this special work in the field Of course the amount of irrigable land in the west is limited by the amount of water flowing in the streams, and the next thing is to find | how much water the streams carry Every stream will have to be gauged | We must also ascertain how much | land each stream will serve, and this will vary according to texture, soil character of crops, aridity of climate methods of irrigation and multitude of other considerations"
