A safa Rnrrlar,s SUGGESTION.

Feyth, the Bridgeport safe burglar
saws that safes should be set on blocks,
and placed in a corner In such posi-
ton that the door win shut toward
the wall. This makes it necessary to
move the safe in order to get at the
door with the wedges and jimmy, and
the lob Is difficult and dangerous.

 All who know the Navajos know that this step will inevitably end in trouble. They arc jealous and hos tile, quiet outside, but still addicted to removing unfortunate whites whom they catch in secluded spots. It has thus far been found impossible to keep them on the reservation, big as it now is, and third of them are off it half the time. It doesn't appear that this difficulty would be lessened by lessening their reservation, and they would be apt to resist even Governmental segregation.

My Friend, the Hog.

Chas. II. Walker before the Nebras-
 ka Improved Stock Breeders Assucia- ton said:
 Gentlemen of the assoclation: | respond to the health of my friend, the hog; the most profitable and most neg lected and most afflicted of all our animal servants. In the absence of bank account he is handy substitute: with health he comes nearer five per month than any other investment on the farm. He is the only fellow in our employ we can trust to tackle mortgage. l will pass over his social qualities lightly-not that he is lack ing altogether therein, but because, like some people he is injudicious in exercising them. From his wonder full combination of business qualities, he derives the reputation of being g little too crafty-not that he will take more than belongs to him intention ally-he isssimply a rustler. These traits of his character have been rec ognized by observing men and have been largely adopted by the management of our principal rail- roads. There is one ofhis qualities, perhaps, that has not received suffi- cient attention. I refer to his econo- my. Whether the fellow who invented the maxim "Economy is the road to wealth" had the hog in mind I am not informed. Be that as it may. economy is one of his strong points. He allows nothing to go to waste that can be con- verted into pork. 1 have met those who sometimes question his taste. but have never found one who questioned his thrift.

French Finance

The extent to which the Compton d'Escompte allowed itself to be car ried away by the copper speculators ill Paris is almost incredible. especial ly when we consider the extremely conservative and good business man. agement that has hitherto character ized the establishment in its long. l The exact details are not yet known. but there can be no question as to the serious import of them. In the first place, M. RouNier, the Minister of Finance, has considered it necessary to appoint two off the highest officials of the Treasury to Make an investigation into the transaatiopssof the Compton. This in Franceeis an unprecedented proceeding as regards any failure of a banking institution: and secondly, the assistance rendered by the Bank of France tousoable the Compton to re- pay it's deFositors was not giver. with out much difference of opinion among the governors of the former institu- ton, one of them, indeed, Count Pillet- Will, who has for many years held the highest position in the banking con- munity of Paris. considering it nee cessary to formulate his protest by.re- signing. This gentleman could have no other reason for objecting to the advance than the doubt that existed in his mind as to the value of the se- curities offered by the Compton be- ing insufficient to cover the amount, $20,000,000, advanced, and already there are rumors that deficiency of no less than $5,O0O,OOO exists on this account. The examination of the books so far show the enormous lia- bilities undertaken by the directors of the Compton d'Escompte in fostering the copper speculation, $6,20O,OO0, representing copper in warehouse, at what price is not stated, and $14,600,- 900 advanced as second mortgage on copper at the price of $220 ton. That is to say, the entire capital and reserve fund of the concern was risked ill speculation, one-third ill copper and two-thirds in second mortgages on the metal. It had, moreover, guar anteed for two years the contracts of the Societe des Metaux with the Rio Tinto, Tharsis, Cape Copper and at least one of the American mines, en- gazing to take delivery at about $320 ton of at least -S0,000 tons of copper in case the SOciete was unable to do so.
 The far-reaching and serious effects of all this loss on France, following so closely on the Panama Canal disaster, has been scarcely appreciated as yet, and comparatively calm as matters seem to us at distance, the loss of such enormous sums cannot be met without fearful sacrifice, which will affect every enterprise that France is engaged in. The total loss result ing from these combined reverses cannot be placed at less than $45O,- OOO,OO0. The announcement just made that the works on the Corinth Canal have been suspended is an indi- cation of what may be expected.-En- gineering and Mining Journal.

The Mount Morgan gold mine, of Queensland, has proved to be the richest mine in the world It is situa- ted on the range of a sheep ranch. It is an ironstone hill ill the midst of green grass. A road runs over the mountain, and it was while repairing it that the gold was discovered. It was purchased for 200, just $5.OOan acre. and the shares are now worth $75,OOO,OOO. It is supposed to be an old geyscr impregnated with gold. The metal is extracted by the chlorinatf0n process, and costs but S7.5O per ton

The largest stamp mill ill the world is that of the Treadwell mine of Alas ka in which Senator Jones, of Nevada, is large if not the chief owner. That mill now consists of 24O stamps with a crushing capacity of 600 tons of ore per day, or two and one half tons to the stamp-though possibly the daily average docs not exceed 500 tons. There is also attached chlOrinatiOn plant of improved character for the treatment of high grade -sp,srl..,S-... ten tons per day) running about $12G per ton. The average grade of the mass of ore treated by the mill is kept a secret, but the average monthly out put of mill and chlorination works is estimated at $150,O0O. Some of the very richest ore as vet taken from the mine has been found lately-quite rich in free gold. The ledge from which this rich quartz has been taken is sup posed to extend through the adjoining Paris" claim into the "Bear's Nest' as disclosed by operations with the diamond drill, says the Alaska Free Press, to which we are indebted for our details. The Bears Nest company also propose the erection of large mill and plant of probably 12O stamps this spring. These mines are on Douglass Island, on which the ledge crops out at height of 800 feet above the sea level. about 1000 feet back from the beach.

A Beautiful Sunset.

Already the Republicans are
quarrelling among themselves as
TO the future policy of the party.
Shall they persistin a tariff policy
which the people have twice con-
dcmned at the polls, or shall they
abandon the only doctrine which
has held them together, throw
every pretense of principle, good
and bad alike, to the winds, and go
in for the Offices, and any way to
get them.
1t really makes little difference
which course they decide upon.
The hole in the hull is too big for
them TO tack about, and the rocks
are too close ahead for them TO
keep on. 1t is sink or swim, With
the chances largely in favor of
sinking. They are between the
money devil and the protected iron
works.
They are afraid to go ahead, for
that way stand the people They
are afraid to go back, for behind
them are the robber barons, de-
handing the delivery of the legis-
lative protection for which they
have paid, and paid literally.
1t is folly to fly in the face of the
people by persisting in policy
which they have twice condemned
at the polls in tones that would
penetrate the dullest ear.
1t is folly to desert the moneyed
concerns whose influence and
Doodle have held the party togeth-
er, furnished its sinews of war and
supplied its sole reason for exist
ence.
If it goes ahead, the people will
utterly crush it if it turns back and
attempts new course, the masters
who have kept it aaoat for their
own use and benefit will cast it
adrift.
What is there left for it to live
for? The people, will have none of
its high tariffs and none of its Force
bills. But without its high tariffs
and its Force bills it is only an or
gained hunt for official plumber.
The people will not support it in
its old course, and will not believe
its brittle promises of reform.
The only thing left for the &. o. p.
to enjoy is the sunset, and it is a
particularly gorgeous one.-Courier
Journal.
