EUROPE.

The European Dispatches, have mater
ial for reflection in them just now. The
war talk about the Russian Bear, which
seems to be always afavorite subject with
the correspondents, when nothing of i'm
portance is going on has given place to
various live subjects worthy Of serious
consideration. The end of the life of the
old Emperor William, and final success.
sion Of his grandson to the throne did not
at first seem to promise any immediate
events Of great Importance to the world.
But now the young William seems to be
determined to himself shape the course
of policy Of the country Of which he is
the nominal ruler, and Bismarck, the
man who has probably been the most
powerful individual factor in controlling
the course Of events throughout Europe,
for many years, is apparently about to re
sign his high Office, giving it up. not
merely on account of his advanced age,
which deserves well.earned repose; but
abruptly, because Of disagreements with
his emperor. This event must necessar-
lily have very serious effect on the pol
itics Of Europe. The death of Queen
Victoria also, which has been long an
ticipated as marking an epoch in English
history has been postponed by fate while
every year ripens the British situation
for most important changes. These with
the republican threatenings in Portugal,
and sympathetic echoes in Spain; with
the situation Of unrest in the Austrian
Empire, and the chronic condition of dis.
satisfaction in Russia may be the prelude
to a series Of changes, as wonderful as
they are unexpected.

THE QUESTIO v.

A gentleman connected with the con
struction of the Railway now building
through Lincoln county. recently made ;
remark to the effect that the question
whether the discriminating that il
wonld be branch, if any, would come
to Phoebe, or not would be answered by
the fact whether or not the town would
guarantee sufficient traffic. This may,
or may not be the view Of the Railway
Company. If it be so, it is certainly an
erroneous view. Phoebe is not a manu-.
featuring city giving steady employment
to definite number of people and turning
out adefniteannual quantity ofmerchan.
disc. 1t is mining town in the centre
Of mining country. Neither Ely
District nor tine county are fully developed
nor ever can be without cheap transpor-,
taticn. Mines are found by prospecting,
and While it is true that many mines
showing low grade ore in large quantities
are known to exist around us, they form
no considerable fraction of the low grade
mines now unknown, or at least unheard
of by the public, for the simple reason
that they are low grade, and have, on
that account, been heretofore considered
unworthy even Of mention. Yet low
grade mines are those which are most
profitable to Railway companies.
We are not herein attempting to apol.
ogize for Phoebe. The main ore channel
Of this district alone contains mineral
whose working would make business for
any single.track railway for years. If
the railway builders want a guarantee of
business all they have to do is to go down
into our mines and see it there, written
in characters which can have no double
meaning, perhaps not properly speaking
a guarantee of business; but the business
itself waiting to be done, the mineral
waiting for fuel and iluxes to reduce
it, and cars to carry away the product.
But the proposition, generally speaking,
that it is only good policy to build rail-
ways for mining countries where returns
are guaranteed, seems almost absurd.
Profits are usually made by those who
take the risks. Yet railway company
in the position depicted by the gentleman
to whom reference is above made, would
become party to contract in which
the other contractor, who was to pay for
work would practically also guarantee
that the former would make proit.out
Of it. 1t would appear only reasonable
that if the second party should agree to
pay enough profits to the first to pay for
a whole or portion Of the road, then
the second party should also, having
made such payments, own the whole or
portion OF the road.

THE CURE,

During these long 10 years Of suffering, she
found no relief from the numerous remedies
she had tried. In 1888 her daughter read the

bought two bottles. The oil was applied, and
before the second bottle was exhausted by
Mrs Gemmill she was able to walk about,
and has been completely cured.

WHERE NICKEL COMES FROM
How it is Mined and Prepared for the
American Market

How it is Mined and Prepared for the
American Market
In the Copper Cliff mine, near Sud
bury, Canada, it Is said, more nickel is
being produced than the entire market
of the word calls for at current prices.
A little branch railway off the main line
of the Canadian Pacific railway, four
miles in lenth, leads out to the mine,
which opens into the face of a crag of
the Blown, oxidized Laurentian rock,
characteristic of this region. The miners
arc now at work at depth of about 300
feet below the surface. AS fast as the
nickel and copperbearing rock is hoisted
out it is broken up and piled upon long
or roasted, for tie purpose of driving
out the sulphur which it contains. The
roasting process is of the nature of lime
kilning or charcoal burning. Each great
bed of ore requires from one to two
months to roast. When roasted the rock
goes to the principal smelter, II powerful
blast furnace. ''iacketed" - in mining
phrase-with running water, to enable
it to sustain the great heat requisite to
reduce the crude, obdurate mineral nto
fluidity.
The dross of molten mass is first al
lowed to flow off, and afterward the
nearly pure nickel and copper, blended
together in an alloy called the 'mat," or
matte, is drawn off at the base OF the
furnace watts into barrow pots and wheel
ed away, still liquid and fiery hot, TO
cool in the yard of the smelter. The
mat contains about 70 per cent. of nickel,
the remaining 30 per cent. copper.
When cool, the conical pot loaves of
mat can easily be cracked in pieces by
means of heavy hammers. The frag-
mcns arc then packed III barrels and
shipped to Swanscain Wales and to Ger
many, where the two constituent metals
arc separated and refined by secret pro-
cesses which are very jealousy guarded
by the manufacturers. So jealnusly is
the secret kept that no enc in America
has yet been able to learn the process
although one young mclallurgist spent
three years at Swansea, working us Il
common laborer in the factories in order
to procure 1t. At present there are pro.
duced daily at the copper cliff mine
about nlnty pot loaves of mat, each
weighing near 450 pounds, an output
which yielded an aggregate of more than
1900 tons of nickel wear.
