There are about 75,O00 head of cattle on this grant, which IS said to be the best range in the Territory at present, other sections suffering from the ef- fleets of drouth. so that the removal of so large number of cattle is invested with serious difficulty, and it is doubt ful if ranges of sufficient extent can be found to place these cattle upon.

VILE IT BE CLEVELAND OR HARRIsOxs

The result ot the presidential cleo tion in November next will depend upon the four States of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana. Four years ago all these States were carrled by the Democrats. Last fall all of them, except New York, were carried by the Republicans. The sit uation then is this: Number of cleo toral votes necessary to success, POI. The Democrats count with reasonable certainty upon receiving the 153 cleo toral votes of the Southern States; the Republicans upon 182 electoral votes, the only ones of which doubt can be entertained beng the 8 votes of Cali fornia. If the American party sup ports the Republican candidates, as seems probable, California will go Republican. It is necessary, there fore, that the Democrats, in order to win, carry New York and Indiana, 51 votes; or New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, 51 votes. The Republi cans can win on the following com blnations: New York, 96 votes; New Jersey and Indiana, 24 votes; ConRec ticut and Indiana, 21 votes. Persons, who assert that the coming election will not be close contest, and that the result is not extremely uncertain should study these figures. The only prominent issue Tn the canvass Is the tariff and upon that the election | hinges.

A cheap method to work low grade and refractory ores is a problem that has received the earnest attention of metallurglsts and mining men with out successful solution, up to the pres ent time, unless the Birmingham cleo tric system, recently perfected, is all that is clalmed fer 1t. The New York Financial and Mining Record says, "the Birmingham system would seem to unlock the hitherto refractory values of such ores through the appli- cation ot cheap mechanical and elec- trical appliances ln combination with several cheap chemlcals which it is claimed have not been used hitherto for the reduction of ores. Thus, a complete amalgamation Is attained and practically all the gold and silver contained in the ore is saved. It IS claimed by the patentee and proprie- tor that this system can be applied to pans and settlers in all mills, or at- tached to stamp mills; and that the full milling expense IS from s to $5 per ton. according to the size of the plant and cost of fuel.

NO oVERpRoDuCrrOS OF SILVER.

The New York Financial and Nm
 ing Recerd points out the fact that the present low price of silver IS not es- sentially due to any over supply of the whlta metal. According to the lar gest estimate, that of the Mint Bureau Of the United States, the production ot silver between and including the years 1875 and 1886, was $1, ,236, ,642,- GOO, while the coinage of silver by the hints of the commercial world amounted, in the same time, to Sl ,526,- l72,l9 The consumption of silver in the industrial arts and by abrasion in circulation, during that period, IS estimated at S275,O00,OO0 to which must be added s225, 100000 absorbed or abstracted from the money ct the West, by China, the Straights Settle ments, Arabia, and by Northern and Eastern Africa. According to the  foregoing figures of the Record, the consumption of silver, in twelve years exceeded the worlds production S789,- 530,l From this it follows, says the Record, that fully 51s per cent. of the coinage of silver since 1874 must have been a recoinage of which il were safe tarsSy Mexico has furnished the largeG while Germany has =supbIisSdd ~ larg5sti in exchange for gold atS.oss of nearly thirty mil lions of dollars; subsequently, losing a material part of that gold by exporta- tion. It is therefore plain that some other cause than an over-production of silver has been at the bottom of the steady fall in the London market price of silver-a cause that we need not go far to find, namely: the yearly sale at a heavy discount in London of Gov, ernment bills payable in silver Tn In dia to the yearly average extent Oi about $00,000,O0O, during the period of twelve years in question.

The theory that the building of railroads is followed by increased rainfall has been revived. The phe- nomena accompanying railroad con- struction in Mexico are cited in sup port of this theory. Recently great damage was done to the Mexican Gen. tral from cloud -burts. If this asser- ten of scientists can be verified, the Government might judiciously spend some of its surplus by building rail roads through tue Western Territories, and thus serve a double purpose, re- clam vast areas of land and aid the development of the mineral and tim Der resources.
