The Congress Mine.

What the Arizona Journal. Miner says of the Congress mine may be true of many of our mining properties. The inner should perserve in his de- velopments:
 The regular arrivals at the Prescott railroad depot ot wagons heavily load ed with gold ore from the Congress mine, give substantial evidence of the value ot the mineral deposits of our mountains Culver's teams have just brought in 10000 pounds to be ship ped direct to the smelling works. This is about five ear loads, and as the net returns, by the ear load, average over S16,000, an idea may be formed of the value of this business, which not only puts money into the pockets of the owners, but gives employment direct to hundreds of people, and in- directly to thousands.
 A couple of years ago this mine was lying dormant and neglected. 1t was hard work to induce any one with capital to even look at it. Many att tempts were made to bring 1t to no- tice. At last Frank M. Murphy per suaded Diamond Jo Reynolds to go there and to put up the money te open it. The mine IS now producing and shipping from 175 10 200 tons of 6rst-cass orc month, which fetches from $50 10 Sl75 per ten for the gold, and little silver. There Is no lead. The ore is clean pynte in quartz. It is broken out in large masses and the saeond-class ore remains on the dumps. Upwards of 1000 tons have 50 accumulated and the new 20-stamp mill now being erected is intended to crush and concentrate this ore and put about four tons into one. This will give product worth upwards of S200 per ton. This method of work ing gold mine is somewhat novel. Gold ores are usually too poor to ship in bulk. But in this case the average is higa, and the smelters return 95 per cent. of the assay value. The gold migbt be extracted by cblorinatlon, bu. the first cost of the plant, and the cost of chemicals and manipulation would carry the expenses per ton to nearly the present cost of shipping and treatment.
 We understand that there are large reserves in the mine, and that every appearance indicates that the property will be large producer for years to come.
 Yherc are plenty of mineral proper ties left. Who will next show similar sagacity, and reap like return?

Defeating Death.
(From the New York World. !

lFrom the New York Norld.f
 The medical world is excited by the statement of Dr. Brown-Sequard, the great French specialist in nervous dis cases, who declared before the Biolog- ical Society of Pars, of which he is l the President, that after twenty years of experimenting he had discovered a true elixir of life, a substance that would rejuvenate the old and make strong the feeble. He contended that if the living cells ci Q young and ylg- orous being could be injected into an other where the vital spark was low his organism must vibrate Tn unisou with the fresh life. Many years age the Doctor advanced views of the same character in lecture before the Med ical Faculty of Paris, and has since been engaged in experimenting on the subject by treating old and worn-out animals. Finally, as he states, he reached such perfection that he tried his elixir upon himself was startling results,
 Tie Doctor is now 72 years old, and presumably is subject to the weak nesses and inirmities of age. His re- yitalizing substance, he explained, was derived from certain organs or glands taken, still quivering, from live ani- mals and reduced at ence to pulp in mortar with distilled water From this compound he extracts an essence which he uses as hypodermic injec tion.
 The Doctor administered to bm- self cubic eentheter with hypo- deria'c syringe, just as morphine Is injected. He declares that the day following this experiment, after two injections of this vital essence, he felt hlrself transformed. Up to 10 that time, half an hours work, standing up in his laboratory, exhausted hin. Now be declares he can study three hours uninterruptedly without the least re- pose. His appetite has increased, his sleep is sweet and refreshing, his stom- ach performs its functions admirably, and his intellectual labor is performed with wonderful ease and clearness. His feelings, also, have been youthful. Dr. Brown-Sequard declared that the dose he took was equivalent to ten years rejuvenation.
 Medical men in New York are skep- tica about the Doctors alleged dis coyery, and smile increduIOusIy when asked what they think of it. While they admit that all things arc possible, they are far from ready to give ere denee to the story as 1t comes from France, or 10 accept thc statement without further proof than has yet come 10 hand.

The census of 1890 will reveal man,

The census of 1890 will reveal many wonderful changes. The central line of population will be much nearer the Mississippi River than it was ten years ago. A series of maps like those contained in the last census, of grada- tions in color to indicate the changes Tn density of population wealth, health and other important facts, will present curious contrast with the maps that we have for the census of 1880, or that of 1870. Over 16,000,000 acres of land were sold in the last fiscal year under the operation of the home stead and timber culture law. More than l24 100000 acres of land have been settled in the last eight years, representing larger area than the States of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan. The greatest changes have been made in the northwestern group of States and Territories, comprising Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wyo- ming and Montana, where nearly 60080,000 acres have been settled in the last eight years. In the south- western group, comprising Kansas, Colorado Missouri and New Mexlco. nearly 30,000,00O have been occupied. On tue Pacific coast l9,000,000 acres have been settled, and 13000,000 acres must be added for the Southern States on both sides of the Mississippi. Along the Pacific roads 18,000000 of acres have been opened since the last cen sus In other words, the Government and the Pacific railroads have opened for settlement in the last eight years territory larger than the New En- gland, Middle States and South Caro- lima combined: larger han Germany or France, and about twice as large as Great Britain and Ireland, The Min ing Industry.

copper.

In general the market remains in the same condition as last reported, stlll a great lack of confidence in pres ert values has been noticeable on the part of consumers, brought about chiefly by different rumors of friction between the Lake companies.
 The grounds for the rumor, or the cause of the friction, seems to be that the 1amarack Company haS been sup plying it's nollar-B Bay rolling mil with copper without including It in its re- turns, claiming that it should not be counted as part of it's quota; and the golliug mill has been selling sheets be- low the prices of other mills. Natu- rally this course has created some tee''ng among the other Lake compa- nies, and the Tamarack was promptly notified to mend its ways, which, of course, it will do, and the 'incident' will be forgotten. In the meantime the price of Lake copper remains un- altered at 12 cents, ElectrolytIc 11l@a, the quotation for casting copper being 10s to l0a. Sheet copper is quoted 20 to 32c. per pound according 10 size. In consequence of the distrust refer red to above, deliveries arc not as heavy as they have been since the time the price for Lake copper was fixed at 12 cents, and until something more definite is known regarding the future policy of the Lake companies it can scarcely be expected that deliver. ies will reassume the proportions they had attained before these rumors were set ahoat.-Engineering < Mining Journal.

Mining as productive industry Is necessarily of slow growth and devsl- oplnent. It can not be brought from seedtime to harvest in day. PrePa- ratlons must be made in order to pro- duce results, and the train of causes wisely set in order; and he IS not wise who would ignore the external laws which are set to govern tbe operation of everything in natures wide domain. Many men have attempted to open mlnes not only without any geological or mineralsgical knowledge, but ase without any knowledge of the amount of labor required, and its not strange, when both energy and capital have failed, 10 hear such persons condemn everything connected with their iall- ure except their own ignorance and presumption. A man who would not attempt to put handle to a wheel barrow, or to hang barn door, not infrequently feels quite competent to take charge of and run a mine.- Min ing Industry.

The Philadelphia smelling plant at Pueblo, Colo, Edward R. Holden. manager, will seoa be the largest in the world They are now treating Ss0 tons daily. By July Is fonr addi- tional roasting furnaces will be in operation, aud by August b four more blasting furnaces will be in working order, making the total eapa- city of the plant not less than 500 tens daily. Mr, Holden recently se- cured a contract to treat, per month, 5000 tons of orc from the Sierra Moja- da mine in Old Mexico, thereby placing his Pueblo shelter in direct competi- ton with the Smelters of the Missouri Valley, which have heretofore been treating Old Meyico lead ores coming into thls country free of duty. If the duty is at any time pu: on lead it will cut this supply off, But Mr. Holden is inclined to think that such will not be done. He says that there are more dry eres in Colorado than there are lead orss, and while if would be to the interest of the miners 10 shut out the product of Old Mexico 1t would materially increase the treatment of dry ores.

Leaks in Mining.

Mining Industry, speaking ot waste in mining, refers 10 the Comstoek mines Tn which, in the early days, there was an immense loss in hand ling the marvelously rich ores of the upper bonanzas, which were much de- composed. h tue first place there was loss in the mine through careless ness and uns!ullfulness in asserting, and again in transportation and work ing al the mills.
 This rich ore was hauled many miles en wagons, of which trains of from fifty to one hundred might at times be seen in line. Under bright sun the ore heaped up in the wagons very soon parted with its moisture. It was then caught up by the wind and sent whirling away across the sage brush plains. At times mig'rt he seen in the air great cloud of pull verized ore, which marked tbe spot where big train sf wagons was toll ing along. As the wagons were over half day between the mines and the m,lls, tdns of fine decomposed ore tthe very rlfbesD must daily have been blown away. Besides, the teamsters 50 seapel their wagons that Jumps of ore of five and ten pounds relied eff and were scattered along the roads, Years after parties made very good thing by gathering up what ore could still be found mostly Jumps that lay outside of the roadway, though not a few bonanzas weie found where team sters had filled up big ehuckholes with ore shoyelled off their wagons.
 In 1878, while ihe big bonanza of the Comstock Was being worked, there was at tue c and c shaft big tank in which tue men washed out their nm. ing suits on coming off shift, About COG men daily used this tank, and in It each day collected about fifty pounds of sand and clay, Seeing this, cx.Sen- ator James G, Fair, then superinten- dent, out of curiosity, had his assayer, Henry G. Elder. make an assay of the material-sanA and slum. The assay showed tho following results: Gold, per ton, Sl2S60; silver, $130.50. mak ing total of S259l0 ton for the dirt washed out of the shirts aud over alls of the miners.
 The tank washings became per quisite of the old man who had charge of the changing room and added about $2,000 year to his in come. This experiment. set superin- tendent Fair to thinking and there- after every train of ore cars that passed oyer the Virginia X Truckee railroad, to the mills on tho Carson river. moved first under sprinkler that so efectually wet down the ore that none of It was blown away in transit. As trainleac after trainload of ore was daily dispatched over the road, the saving hy this simple pre-. caution of wetting down the ore doubtless amounted to small fortune in the course of year.

4 Great Price for a Crea, Picture

Thirty years after being painted, Millet's famous work, "TEe Angelus, " sold lately in Paus, as the cable in forms us, at the opening of inc great Secretan picture ca.s for Sll0,600. the highest puce ever paid for B moaern painting, and over S50,000 more than was ever paid for modern work at auction. And yet, so strange is fate to men of genius, the painter, who died but fourteen years ago, after life in which the struggle against poverty was almost continuous, bound himself the year after he produced this master piece to give up all his werk for three years for an allowance of S2,400 a year During Millet's lifetime when The khgeIus, fer which he had re- ceived but $500. sold for Sl0,000. he modestly spoke of the price as a sem sational and dlselaimed the responsi- billty for the transaction. And now. while his widow is unable to keep over head the roof of the Barblzon cottage that was his, the government of his country buys bis most famous work after spirited competition with Americans for far more than he ever earned in his sad lifetitits New York Herald

Facial Perception"

Mr, ". H. Levy, who is blind, says in his book, Blindness and the Blind, that he can tell when he is opposite an object, and can perceive whether 1t is tall or short, slender or bulky He can also determine whether it be sol itary object or Q continuous fence; whether close fence or an open one, and sometimes whether a wooden fence, stone wall, or a hedge. None of the five senses has anything to do with this perceptiye power, but the impressions are made on the skin of his face., and by 1t transmitted to thc brain. He therefore names this uu- recognized ssnse facial perception. The presence of fog interfcres with facial perception, and makes the inn pressions faint and untrustworthy; but darkness Is no impeachment. A nose which distracts the attention in- terieres with the impressions. In passing along the street be can distin- gpish stores from private houses, and doors from windows, if the windows consist of number of panes, and not ofa single sheet of glass. A remark able fact, bearing on the subject of an unrecognized sense, is mentioned by Mr Levy. A naturalist extracted the eyes of several bats and covered the empty sockets with leather. In this condition the bats flew about the room, avoiding the sides and flying out of tha door without touching the doo.-case. In flying through a sewer which made right angle, they turned at the proper point. They flew through threads suspended from the ueliing without touching them, though they were only far enough apart to admit tic passage of the bats extend ed wIngs.-I outh's Companion.

It is estimated that we have over twenty thousand miles of nayigable waters traversed for the whole or for 8 part of each year by regular lines of steambeats and steamships. We have several great routes ou which one can travel for a week without changing his state-reom. There are hundreds of towns where the only means of communication IS by water, and prob Ebly a million of our people recelve their mail by steamboat Itis difficult to make mental picture of the enor- nous extent of our available water ways. Were they improved and made useful 10 their full capacity in all sea- sOas they would probably far exceed in value our entire railroad system. Get out your atlas and trace the mag niiicent lines on which our heritage is planned. It will repay the study ii it leads b q right understanding ct the splendid opportunities VIC have for pleasure travel in every climate, in all waters, through ell variations ot sceuery, and in hundreds of boats all flying our flag.

Robert LcuiS Stevenson, on his re- turn to New York, will put up in a suite of apartments and settle down fer an indefinite per,od. He has come to the conclusion that New York offers better material! for literary man than any other great city in the werld. At the end of every alley in Lenden stands the ghost of Dickens, and the shadow of Balzac falls across the pave- tients of Paris.
