"There are some manufacturing
industries in the town, and general
business is probably in advance of
most southern towns; but in compar-
ison with the hum and whirl of a

doubt be considered a little 'pokey.'
"The public school in the town is a
very creditable institution, and is un-
der very efficient corps Of teachers.
The corporation also provides for the
education of the colored children
there about as well as here, but not
much can be said in behalf of the
schools in the rural districts around
about McMinnville, and it is a very
striking fact, and an obvious conse-
quence, that the disparity between
the civilization of the town and the
country round about is very great
and very lamentable indeed.
"The soil of Tennessee is, or was,
by nature genial and fertile, but it
has been greatly abused and impov~

farming is growing less and less
profitable, and is on the decline
generally from year to year.
"But there is a crop in which

of cereals, vegetables and gOober peas,
and it is a perennial commodity in
which from generation to generation

Custer chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, Black Hills, D.T. [S.D.]) 1880-1890, 1889-10-05

Capt. Thomas was engaged for years in
the Penandrea Tin Mines of Cornwall.
Afterwards he had three years expert
ence in the gold mines of New Zealand.
he came to America ten years ago to
take charge Of some of the most i'm
portant copper mines near Lake Su-
perior. Capt. Mitchell was formerly
manager of the Margaret Tin mine, and
for thirteen years occupied a similar
position at the st. Ives Tin mines, Corn
wall. He was afterwards engaged to
superintend the Cantabrian Copper
mine in Spain. He left this position to
take charge of one of the Harvey Peak
Cornish miners employed under them
are more enthusiastic than any of the
Americans over the exceeding richness
and enormous extent Of the tin deposits
in the neighborhood of Harvey Peak.
They make the following comparisons
between the Cornwall of Great Britain
and Cornwall of the United States:
The area of the Cornwall tin district
is much smaller than that of the tin belt
surrounding Harvey Peak. The Corn
ish mines have been worked for centu
ries, and they have reached the point
where but few of them can be operated
with profit, owing to the expense of
raising ore and pumping water from
such great depths. But the fact that
they will give employment to nearly
$4,000 miners will enable the reader To
form some idea of the probable magni-
tude of the industry in the Cornwall Of
America.
In view of the enormous increase IN
American canning industries alone, it is
safe to predict that in the next decade
the demand fortin will be fully doubled.
Tin, as found in the Cornish mines,
which are worked at great depths, with
propOrtionate difficulty and expense, is
hardly perceptible to the naked eve. in
the Harvey Peak region the smallest
crystals are comparatively enormous.
Some of the Cornish mines have been
worked for fifty years without yielding
an ounce Of tin. Every opening in the
Harvey region has ~tin-bearing rock.
The treatment of the product of Cornish
mines is very elaborate and much more
costly. The ore has to be crushed so
fine 10 free i. from mineral that a large
percentage floats away in what is known
as shines" On the Red River there
are numerous corporations engaged in
collecting these shines. In spite of their
efforts a considerable quantity escapes
TO the sea, and many people live by
collecting what is deposited on the sand
by the returning tides. Cornwall has
to import timber for Its mines at great
cost, from Norway, Sweden and Canada.
The cost of sawed timber at the Harney
Peak mines is less than s. per ! 900 feet
Mine timber costs the price of cutting
and hauling only. Government experts
calculate the timber area of the Black
Hills at 5000 miles. The Harvey Peak
district is in the heart of this, and the
timber is practically untouched. The
Cornish tin is associated with various
species of base metals, such as sulphur,
arsenic and pyrites these have to be
got rid of by an expensive process prior

Future Population.

The approah of the time for the de
c~ennial census gives rise to much spec
ulation as to the future numbers in this
country. The computations for 1890
generally agree pretty well upon a total
not very far from 65,000,000. There is
no trouble about crowding for a number
of decades yet, but when the per centnm
OF the past century is run along 100
years and the total is the enormous
figure of / ,206, 562 2iS, or about the pres
ent supposed population ofthe globe
there is chance to speculate. Then
look ahead 400 years more, and the
figures will stretch ont beyond all power
of comprehension. Why should any
very marked check be had in this de-
yelopment =? Big wars and occasional
epidemics hardly make ripples in the
swelling volume. There is too much
sanitary science and growing knowledge
of the methods ~ofpreyention of maladies
to stop the tide. The figures prove
that this country will be packed with
