ENGLAND Alarmed.

The final success Of the Harvey Peak
Tin company in securing English capital
to the amount Of two million dollars,
for the purpose Of opening up and oper-
nting their extensive mines in the Black
Hills, now conceded to be the richest
ever discovered, is evidently about to
eliminate in a crash in London, equal
to the French panics. When the fact
is considered that the development of
these mines means the death of one of
England's greatest industries, their utter
CONSERVATION will not be regarded as
being at all surprising, nor their bitter
and persistent fight against the Harvey
Peak company be considered q subject
for wonder. The following London
special relating to this subject. which
we clip from the Dubuque Daily Tele-
graph, is given for the information of
our readers:
London, March 29.-John Bull is
alarmed by the reports of statisticians.
His coal is becoming exhausted and, of
course, growing higher in price, and the
proposed coal trust will carry it still
higher by contracting the production.
The miners are alarmed and will fight
the mine owners. Some pessimistic
financiers ~foretell a speedy panic in
London which will rival the Panama
and copper crashes in France. The nj
trate schemes are especially looked upon
with suspicion, and many holders are
Withdrawing at a loss. The project 10

lacturers to control the price and amount
of production received a check when on
the point of contamination by the re-
ceipt of private reports concerning the
tin mines discovered i'm Dakota. While
many Of those interested i'm the proposed
combination look at the stories of their
richness as exaggerated or wholly un-
true, prudence demands a further in.
yestigation. One Jewish capitalist is
known to have invested heavily in the
Dakota fields, on the strength of reports
sent to him by a relative in America
and the amount Of money he has al
stake is enormous.
The mines Of Cornwall are worked
with ever increasing difficulty and ex,
pense. The Banca deposits are the only
others Of known value, and the producr
of this distant Malayan district Is uncer
tain. The South Wales and Worcester
shire tin-plate makers look with alarm
at the possibility of having to contend
with factories established in the hear
of the country which is by far their hes
customer. 1t may be looked upon a
certain that, If the situation proves (,
be as critical for them AS it now seems
they will make a desperate effort to gal,

Success rendered.

The Harvey Peak company have an
ad in the London Mining Journal asking
for tin dressers and assayers to superin-
tend the concentrating works about to
be erected by the company. Other re-
ports confirm the impression that the
tin industry will assume large proper
tons in the spring 1t has been a long.
hard pull. but the faith of the prophet
Samuel (R. S. has never wavered about
the result. Here's success to the Tin
City.
The above. taken from the Minnesota
Star, indicates a kindly feeling toward
the Tin City, which we can but say is
fully appreciated. With reference to
the CHRONICLES faith in the final devel-
opment and successful operation of our
tin mines. it is by no means surprising
that it has been strong and persistent,
as it has been based upon the positive
existence of innumerable bodies Of tin
ore of extraordinary magnitude and ex-
ceptional quality, which have at all
times afforded ample warrant for the
full measure Of faith INDUCED preclud-
ing all possibility Of wavering doubt, or
fear of failure in the final result. The
past predictions Of the CHRONICLE with
reference to the future tin possibilities of
the Black Hills, which, at the time of
their publication, might have appeared
somewhat extravagant to many of our
readers, will now, in the light of late
developer nts in this direction, appear
entirely reasonable, and in no respect
overdrawn. Indeed it is now the cpin-
ion Of the CHRONICLE that the measure
of Importance which will result from
the Inauguration of tin operations in the
Black Hills upon the scale of magnitude
non contemplated, has not been fully
stated, and that we have but imperfectly
described the wonderful advantages
which will follow in its train.

Work on the b. & NJ. tunnel, south OF
town was renewed with increased vigor
to-day friday. For the past four
weeks a small force Of about $50 men
were all that were employed, but on the
above day the contractors, Fitzpatrick
Bros. & Collins, increased the force to
about 800. Likewise are all the sub
contractors adding to their respective
outfits. 1t is the intention Of those in
charge of the construction to have the
rails laid to Crawford by the first OF
June. Should the present favorable
weather continue the grade by that time
will be completed as far north as the
Cheyenne river. The only obstacle that
at present retards grading through
Crawford, is the fact that the B. & Nj.
and f. f. & M. V. are at l~ogger-heads
regarding the crossing. The former viii

latter will do all in their power tc
