malachite, is a carbonate of copper.
 This ore IS easily fused in a cupola
 furnace by using lime as a Aux. Its headquarters in the United States is
 Arizona. The third class of ores
 known as the sulphurets are very
 widely distributed, being found in the
 Rocky Mountains, spreading over the
 northwest portion of the States, and
 being found as far south as New Mex
 leo. In this form of ore the copper IS
 combined with sulphur and iron, and
 IS known as copper pyrites. This ore IS generally first roasted Tn the open air to drive off some of the sulphur, and consequently increases the per centage of copper. It is then put into ta reyerberatory furnace with silica. The iron mites with the silica and froms a fusible slag, the sulpur is driven off as sulphurous acid by the heat and the copper Is left behind. This process is repeated as often as necessary until copper of sufficient purity is obtained.
 The relatively cheap price of copper in recent years has led to a great in- crease of its use in the arts. Being only exceeded by silver as an electri- cal conductor, 1t has been largely used for conveying that fluid. The great development of electrical lighting. tel ephOnes and other applications of cleo tricity have been in part due to the price of copper not being prohibitlve to its extensive use. In the form of brass there has also been a great ex- tension of its use, where it can be con veDiently substituted for iron. The rage for brass ornaments in the Queen Anne style has also provided a great outlet for 1t. The discovery that an alloy of copper with 10 per cent of aluminium forms a compound of great | hardness and toughness has led some eminent scientists to believe that it l may again be used in making cannons; an alloy of phosphorus and copper possesses similar qualities. But as civilization advances a wider field for the employment of metals is always and from its ductility, its conductivity for heat and electr1clty, | the readiness with which it enters into alloys with other metals, copper seems always sure of foremost place for employment in the arts.

Sentiment in the Cutting Case.
Dispatch to the Globe.Democrat.l

Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat)
 In speaking of possible resurrec- ton of the Cutting matter during the present session of Congress at Wash ington, a prominent official at Paso del Norte says that the Mexican Gov ernment does not look for any such re- opening, but if against their expecta- tons Secretary Bayard should persist in keeping the matter open, the Mexi- can authorities are prepared to lay before the Government of the United States such an array of facts and such a clear exposition of the whole lmbfo- glio that any fair minded tribunal would be at once convinced of the cor rectness assumed by Mexico. All the documents and proof in the case, with many additional facts, have been care fully collected and arranged so that they can be made use of at a moments notice. The possibility of even one cents worth of indemnity to Cutting has never been entertained by the Mexican Government and will noE even be discussed by them.

The Senate Foreign Affairs Com mittee has reported in faYor of amend ing the act to forbid alien ownership of land in the Territories and District of Columbia, by striking out the feso- lution as to the District of Columbia. It is found that the act, as 1t stands, creates unforeseen endorsements in regard to the property of the foreign le- gations here. The amendment should also exempt the ownership of mines from the operation of the act.-N. Y: Engineering and Mining Journal.

Gold Mines in Wales.
[From a Letter to the London Times

From a Letter to the London Times
 l wlte in accordance with the wish es of my client, Mir. William Pritch- ard Morgan, of Brynticlon, DoIgelly, and Queen Victoria street, London, to put you in possession of the real facts concerning his discovery of gold in enormous quantities in the quartz and blend and other formations in North Wales. Having taken all possible pre- cautions to avert a breitiature disclo- sure of the facts, MT. Morgan has been enabled to open out varlous lodes Tn the Mawddach Valley, near Dolgel- ly besides carrying out systematic ex- plorations elsewhere, without making known until now the results he has obtained. He preferred to withhold the declaration of his convictions as to what he would be able to produce until bars of gold from the Welsh mines would give practical demon stfations of their value. But as some hickerlng rumors of ludicrously i'm perfect character have made their ap- pearance in the papers within the last few days, Mir. Morgan considers that it is better, under the circumstances, to throw off all reserve as to the true character of his undertaking without further delay.
 In former times gold has been washed from the beds of rivers in Wales, but until now no systematic efforts have been made to penetrate the deeper-seated deposits in the quartz. In the Mawddach Valley, however, Mir. Morgan has had about 100 men at work for several months, and has now, as the phrase goes, stripped the lode," so that many thousands of tons of stones, richly laden with gold, are ready to be stopped.
 On the grass he has already stacked about 25O0 tons ready for treatment a great part of which has been esti- mated to yield 6 ounces to the ton. A few pennyweights of gold per ton re- ward the operations of gold inning to the satisfaction of many existing com panies in the colonies. From stone already tested, the lowest calculations point to an average all round of 2 ounces to the ton. What may be the ultimate annual yield of Welsh gold when the whole resources of the principality come under d57el- Opment, it is as yet impossible to con- lecture; but the mine now in opera ton is. without doubt, one of the rich est in the world, and there are fifty other sites in Wales alone where there IS reason to believe that gold will be found in large quantities.

A year ago yesterday Peoria lady, who wgs something of a talker, looked in her stocking to see what Santa Claus had brought her. Her husband had promised her an appropriate pres ent. In it she found a smoked tongue with a string tied around it. This year it was her turn to get her hus- band present of something he need ed. When he awakened yesterday morning he found hrs socks filled with chloride of lime. Just at present the lady is ahead.

A New York 1icT oi copper.

IN. Y. Engineering 6 Mining Journal.
 It is well known that producers are quite willing to supply manufacturers at prlces considerably below those quoted on the Metal Exchange. Cast ing brands are obtainable at from ] to 1 cent. below the quotations.
 As might have been expected, wig orous efforts are beng made to in crease production, and we learn that the Boston < Montana Copper C6m- pany has commenced mlning high grade ore (running 30 per cent. to 35 per cent. copper), which it will ship to other smelters, and is likely to consid- erably increase !ts own smelting capa- city at an early date. This company is understood to have contracted for large part of its next years produc- tion to European refners.
 While the statistical position of the market Is very strong both in this country and Europe, there is a very declded impression that prices can not long remain where they are, though it IS not expected that Chili bars will, for considerable period, go below f65, whatever other brands may do.
 The corner in Europe is apparently a strong one and can put prices Where they will, but manufacturers here buy direct from the producers, who are al- most without exception opposed to the present extent of the boom.
