The Syndicate Mines.


On Monday evening the ore bins at the
Syndicate mines were SO full that it was
found necessary to lay of a number of the
miners in order to give the railroad service
an opportunity to catch up. Yesterday
morning, however, the bins were still full,
says tho Miner, and when the day shift re-
ported for duty they were permitted
to return home again. Not a
pound of ore was hoisted from any of
probability the day shift viii 60 to work
this morning in all the mines except the
Mountain consolidated, which will remain
closed, so far as the extraction of ore is
concerned, until the hosting engine is
again in running order. This will be in
about three weeks. during which time the
ton on ore from the Syndicate mines. The
present plethoric condition of the ore bins is
due principally to changes now going on at
the smelters, some of the smelters of which
are undergoing repairs. The laying off of
the miners at the Syndicate mines has no
significance whatever and will not change
the amount OF the company's monthly pay
roll in the least When the fire broke out
in the Anaconda and st. Lawrence mines
last November many of the men who had
been employed there were simply trans
ferred to the Syndicate properties. Now
the Anaconda and st, Lawrence are about
to resume operations and the men will be
returned to their first love. The
water in these properties is now down
to the 100 foot-level, and when the pumps
are cleared, which will be this evening some
time, large force of men will be put to
work repairing the damage done by the
fire and water, and in few weeks at best
the mines will again be yielding their old
time amount of wealth. Yesterday the
company ordered from the Utah and Mon
tana Machinery company thirty new Inger-
st. Lawrence mines, the acid in the water
having to a great extent rendered the old
ones unfit for use. This looks like bust
ness and il proof positive that the work of
extracting ore on a large scale will soon be
resumed.

A 413,OOO,OOO Placer Mine.

H. I. Cleveland returned yesterday from
the Nevada creek district, in the Big Black
foot country, says the Miner, where he had
been for the purpose of examining the
route of the twenty-five mile fume. which
is intended to convey water on the 100
acres of ancient creek bed' in that coun-
try, said to contain the modest sum of 3d.
100 in gold. The ground in question be-
longs to Colonel Broadwater. T. H. Klein
schmidt and other wealthy Helena
gentlemen, who contemplate running a
ditch from the Big Blaekfoot to work the
ground. While there Mr.. Cleveland saw
several pans Of the gravel washed, the first
of which yielded 50 cents, the second 261aa.
and the third ~ cents. There are many
dry creek beds near the digeings that bear
mute evidence of having at one time carried
considerable water, but they are now per-
fectly dry. Last year enough water was
caught to run giant about eighty hours,
during which time $4,000 is said to have
been washed out. Mr.. Cleveland says it
will be quite task to flurne water into the
digRings, but when once there several
fortunes will be made.

Egyptians did not confine the shaving

THE WORLDS NEWSPAPERS.

Statistics Collected In Connection with b
Paris Exposition.
A large number of statistics have been
collected in connection with the Paris
Exposition. and of these probably the
most interesting are those which deal
with the total number of journals pub
lished in the whole world. These have
been collated by La Nature.
The facts given show that Germany
has the honor Of publishing the largest
number Of periodicals. in Europe, these
numbering ). 800. of which 500 r dailies.
Journals devoted to special religious
dOgmas. creeds and scientific theories
abound more in this than in any other
country. The oldest German Journal is
the Frankfort Gazette des Postes. found
ed in 1916: the most widely circulated.
the Berliner Tageblatt, issues but S.
600 copies.
After Germany comes England. which
publishes over 5000 newspapers, 500 OF
which are dailies. France follows with
. nearly equal number. of which only .
quarter are dailies. ~bi.weeklies or tri-
weeklies. Italy holds the fourth rank
by publishing 1,+OO journals, 200 OF
which appear at Rome, 14O AZ Milan,
40 at Naples. - at Turin and 20 at
Florence. OF these 10 are dailies. In
Austria Hungary there are 100 jour
nails, Of which $50 are dailies. So far as
other countries are concerned, Spain
follows with $50 and Russia with 500,
200 of the latter appearing at St Pc
tersburg and IS at Moscow. In Greece
journals are proportionately numerous,
every little market town and village
having one. Athens publishes 81. all Of
which are dailies. In Switzerland there
are $50 journals published, and Belgium
and Holland furnish an almost equal
number. In Sweden, Norway and POr-
tugal journalism is but little cultivated,
while in Turkey it is quite active. IN
all. Europe is credited with ove 20, 900
journals
Turning to Asia, the figures show
that here no fewer than :, 200 newspa-

The church was in the city, but the

Some new streets had been recently cut,
