Admission of Territories.
IN. Y. Nation.)

Whatever may be done about the case of Dakota, it IS to be hoped that nothing will come of the scheme re- ported to be under consideration at Washington for admitting several Territories as States at the same time. New Mexico and Montana, which are said to be included in this scheme, are not fit to become States, and will not be for some time to come. New Mex leo IS still largely foreign communi- ty, and has no Just claim to exercise an equal influence in the Senate with great States like New York and Penn sylyania. Montana still retains many of the elements of frontier region, and it's not certain mat it will not prove well to change the boundaries between Montana and adjoining Ter ritories. Washington Territory has been so long settled by homogeneous population that it has d just claim to admission as soon as the question of rectlfying its eastern boundary line is settled; but Montana and New Mexi- co ought to serve long apprentice ship yet. The evils of the Territorial condition are grossly exaggerated by the politicians who hope to get the State offices, and they are really but small. Even If they were much greater, they should not offset the evils to the nation of making States too soon-evils winch have been forcl- ply illustrated in the case of Nevada. One experience of that sort is quite enough for all time.

Profitable Mining.

(N; Y. Engineering & Mining Jorrnal.)
 The thirty-eight companies whose stocks are quoted, or for. which we have been able to get quotations, have a present market value of about 89 million dollars, and have paid in divi- dends during the year $9, ,217,075, equal to 10 1-3 per cent on market value; much better result than in most clas- ses of investment These same thirty eight companies have already paid in dividends no less than $69, ,060,000, or almost exactly the amount of their present market value. The actual or original investment was but a small part, probably not one fifth, of their present value, so that had 3 fortunate holder invested originally in develop ing these mines, and held hls interest to the present time, he would have re- ceived back his original investment many times over and could now sell out for four or five times the amount he put Tn.
 The mines quoted are by no means the only dividend-paying mlnes in this country indeed, it is well known that vefy large number of private companies, or mines owned by indi- viduals, have paid far larger returns on the investment than has the aver age stock company.
 The great Granite Mountain heads the list of dividends with $2,OO0,00O for the year, or just twice what the Calumet and Heela has paid, though this is perhaps the more valuable mine of the two. Each has many millions yet in store for it's stockhold- ars.
 The Consolidated Virginia < Cali fornia revlves the ancient glory ot the Comstock, and quietly and without boom, in fact under declining prices for its stock, it has paid the second largest dividend on the list and more than twenty-five per cent on the present value of it's stock.

Encouraging Mining Enterprises.
(Silver City, N. M., Enterprise.)

AAoAA'SA OASS5 1N- Ms EnJerpflSe.J
 The Mexican government is giving special encouragement to all inning enterprises winch may aid in aug menting the gold production of the country. Two liberal concessions have been made for mining explorations and working of gold deposits in the territory of Lower California and in the state of Chihuahua. Exemption from taxation is granted for ten year s, and it is specially stipulated that the companies working mines under these concessions shall smelt three-quarters of all the ore mined in this country, and for this purpose the companies shall build smelters This is to fur ther the policy of encouraging the de- ve1opmeHtt of of home smelti8g Industry and all recent mining concessions have contained this clause, it being the pol icy of the government, as far as pos sible, to keep the profits arising from the reduction of ores Tn the country. A general mortgage and investment company, with capital ofS15,00O,000, has been organized in London to op- crate in Mexico. This makes the fourth company with heavy capital organized in England within the last two months to operate in that coun try. As an evidence of the interest and influence English capital IS ac- quiring in Mexico, this mortgage com pany will combat local money lenders by making loans on first mortgages on real estate at half the present rates.

4 Wonderful Natural Tunnel

The great natural tunnel on the South Atlantic and Ohio Railroad, Virginia, is at once a mammoth cave, a great bridge, natural tunnel for a railroad and a water way for $ river through a lofty range of mountains. It is indeed wonderful natural curi- osity, and is situated in the heart of the grandest and most picturesque DOT tion of the Appalachia. The celebrated Natural Bridge of Virginia, which, on account of its strangeness, attracts thousands of visitors yearly, when compared with this, dwindles into comparative insignifcance.
 This great bridge, which nature has ibuitfdfed, spans, for a}eagt!!. -oo-s -o 990 feet, a noble stream, with an arch which has clear span Tn places of more than 150 feet and thickness over the crown of 400 feet of solid limestone beds.
 About 200 feet in from the lower or southern portal is an almost perfectly formed circular dome, over 150 feet Tn circumference, rising, in the semi darkness, to an immense height.
 At the lower portals, the approach to the tunnel is through a semi-circu- lar canyon, the wall, of which are 52O- feet In height, overlapping the water at the foot.

Ore resources of Comstock lode are estimated to be of an extent to war rant the statement that they will not be exhausted in the next quarter of a century, with an almost certainty that before the expiration Of that period others of even greater area will be developed. The royalty on a daily ore product of 2,O0O tons will in less than three years place the Sutro Tun- nel Company in a position to pay monthly dividends of 25 cents per share on its 100000 shares of stock, with fattering prospect that the ex- tension of the tunnel through the mineral Eegien westeaf its present ter minus will result in important ore de- velopments which will double its daily revenue and the rate of its monthly dividends. As the shares are now selling in New York for fifty cents, Sutro Tuhnel stock IS likely 10 prove the most remuneratIve as well as the safest investment on the list of specu- lative Virginia Chronicle.

He is given walking exer- else every day but never harnessed. As matter of fact Dexter was never a pleasant horse to drive, having a hAtit of lugging at the bit, and being rather inclined to triskiness. It was only after the use of a severe bit that MT. Bonner took comfort ln riding be- hind him.

An mI.Advlsed strike.
IN Y Nation1

There has been no more melancholy sight Tn this country since the aboli- ton of slavery than that afforded by the strike of the poor men Tn the em- plOy of the Reading Railroad, at tho beginning of the winter, most of them with families depandent on them, They had no grievance against the company except that it would not al- low the train hands to decide for whom it shall carry freight, and they were controlled, under the organization of the Knights of Labor, by a band of schemlng adventurers who insisted on the company's submitting this ques- ticn to "arbisration,' andr5sFy money from the lsssHeEs's wages Jfdr safaries and office rent. There is no use in blaming the Powderlys, and Quinns. and Lees, and the like, for trying to live by organizing, and holding meet ings, and issuing orders. Tens of thousands of men in all ranks of life would live in the same way if they could get the chance. What is most to be deplored in the matter is the immense mass of childish ignorance which these strikes represent, and which makes the "Grand Masters" and the General Worthy FOremen" possi- ble. Mayor Hewitt, on Thursday. night, at the dinner of the Board of Trade, spoke some telling words about the responsibility of the class of poli- ticians who encourage these secret and irresponsible organizations" in their attacks on the peace and indus try of the country, by pretending to think their existence and activity jus tlfed by the conduct of capital"

A few days since the Phoenix Her aid contained, an item saying that two young men had called at an AL buquerque store, examined pistols for the purpose of purchase, loaded the pistols and made the clerk throw up his hands while they backed out of the house and ran away. Here IS the sequel as contained in Prescott pa- per: They next stopped at cattle ranch, 35 miles from Albuquerque. the proprietor of winch fed them and gave them beds free. They awarded the kind hearted rancher by holding him up, ransacklng his. house. and riding of on two of hls best horses. One of the horses being balky. its ri- der struck it over the head with pistol which he dropped; got down to pick it up and on remounting fired his pistol to start the horse, the bullet taking effect Tn the animals flank. His next shot lodged in his own leg, severely crippling him. He then begged bis companion to flee and save himself, which lie refused to do. The rancher took charge of both men who are now in the Albuquerque jail. The shooter IS said to be a novice at the business, while his partner, Clan cey, is said to be desperate crimi- nal.

MT. James Carr, looking as fresh as a rose bud on a dewy morn, passed through here this week on his way to Aravaipa Canyon, where he has a valuable mine carrying both lead and silver. Mr. Carr was accompanied by Professor Newhouse, mining expert representing the Kansas City Smelt- ing and Refining Company. Lead is commanding a good price in the mar ket, and as a large body of ore has been developed Tn MT. Carr's mine it IS most likely that the company repre- sented by Mir. NewhOuse will take hold of the property.-Wilcox Stock man.

Tlse Loco Weed.
I r,,5 o-.sIlwestsrn Lie Stock Journal. l

Forshwestern Li,e Stock Journal
 A receat letter from north Texas says the loco 8c6d.i5 doing a good deal of damage to hops3s. The writer suggests that the poison must be more active in winter than in summer. The increased fatality in winter may be ascribed 10 two causes. First, being an evergreen it is much more tempt ing to the animal when no ether green plant or blade is obtainable, and in consequence more Of it IS eaten. Sec ond, being seed bearing, it will proba- ply be found when fully investigated, that the seeds contain alarger amount of the polson than the plant leaves. Bearing no seeds ln summer to be eaten and an abundance of them in winter, the results are serious.
 Stlll another reason may be as signed. The green grass of summer keeps the system in perfect order and the poison is readily worked off. In winter the dry feed tends to constipa- ton and feverishness and there is more time for evlI effects.
 Scientific investigations have been set on foot and we trust another year may deter.nine the true character Of th!s dangerous weed.

Alleged C66ihbIinatIon of copper Producers

A New York dispatch in the Globe Democrat says: "Some time ago the syndicate tried to form combination of the Rio Tihto, Mason and Barry and Tharsis companies, to limit the production of copper It was unsuc- cessful owing to the fact that it was thought that the tive large companies of this country, the Anaconda and Calumet and Hecla, ought to join in order to make the move successful. The Anacotda people were willing to go in, but the Calumet and Hecla would not and the scheme fell through. The three Spanish companies produce about one-half of the coppeRuined Tn the world, aud the product the Rio Tinto alone is something enormous. It employs over 5000 men, and has lately made arrangements to double its product. If that were done there would be no question but that there would be big fall in the price of cop per, and this the syndicate, which has been putting up the pree, wants to avoid.
 "The fire in the Calumet and Hecla mine has so materially diminished its output that the Anaconda people are sad to be willing to jOln combina- ton with the three great Spanish mines and keep down tHe production during the next two or three years. It is known that the latter are ready. and will be satisfied if the Anaconda joins them, although they were desir- ous of having the Calumet and Hecla also. The prospects of the latter mine for large production of copper are very small, and there is a great proba- bil1ty of the combination being effected and the production being limited"

Col. Bundy, of Chicago, in a recent address, explains the presence of a devil in the composing rooms. It seems that when printing first became an apphed art the conservative world. looked on the press as an invention of the devil. Though why the cotem- poraries of the inventors of printing should have thought hls Satanic Ma jesty interested in the multiplication of the book especially designed to de- populate his kingdom, is not clear, unless upon the theory that in the hands of the people the book would be a stumbling block over which they would fall Into hell" Never mind.
