Yellowstone and Cumberland.

The Yellowstone company is running
levels and preparing to take out immense
quantities of ore, also to continue the work
of sinking deeper, says the Husbandman.
The Cumberland company is making
splendid progress. The new smelter build
ing is up and the main stack which is I'M
der way will be finished within q week.
The machinery for the smelter has all been
loaded and is en- route from Livingston,
and if no bad luck attends the f~reighters it
will reach its destination within another
week. With the machinery on the ground
the work of placing it in position will not
occupy more than ten days. Work in the
Cumberland mine is moving c~leverly
along. The levels are run and other ar
rangements perfected so that from 100 to $50
tons of ore can be taken out every day. The
level to tap the new shaft is progressing at
the rate of about four feet every day, there
being now less than forty feet to be run to
connect it with the mine. This will be
completed before the smelter is ready to
run and will render the hosting of ore in
almost any quantity desired an easy task.

explained to the stockholders all the condi-

Robinson, his second in command, Under
the first head of the discourse he showed
that there are now 1S7 900 tons of ore ready
for extraction-in other words, Il two wears

revealed reserves practically equal TO the
present rate of extraction without
abnormal discoveries" There is also the
possibility of valuable discoveries IN
the Empire lode on the 400 ana 800 foot
levels, and also in the Drum Lummon mine,
Dealing with this second topic, Mr.. Baylis5

Mining Notes.

During March the copper output of the
Boston and Montana mines was 1915, 900
POUNDS, 2I',mo less than a year ago. The
product for nine months was 10, S65, 453
pounds.
A rich strike was recently made in the
Hotter end of the Rulnley. About two feet
OF solid lead ore was struck, and the ledge
promises to widen. This was expected, and
the strike was not a surprise.
A syndicate IS about to take hole of the
Alpine mine In Jefferson county and work
1t. The lead on the Alpine is small as vet,
about sixteen inches of ore, assaying about
so to the ton-Sl2 i'll gold and IS in silver.
The ore is free milling.
The Penn Yam. abont four miles from
Wlcfes, has been drained of water and ac-
tive development work commenced. The
shaft is now down l50 feet, the ore being
sulphide of iron and galena. The owners
expect to take out enough ore in sinking
the shaft to pay for the development. The
principal owners are II. H. Hill and w. c..
of Butte.

THE TREASURY SURPLUS.
Present Policy OF Paying the National
Debt Commended.

The presence of large cash surplus in the
treasury has for many years been the subject of
much unfavorable criticism, and has furnished
an argument to those who have desired to place
the tariff upon q purely revenue basis 1t was
agreed by all that the withdrawal from circula-
rion of SO large an amount of money was an
embarrassment to the business OF the country,
and made necessary the Intervention of
the department at intervals to avert
threatened monetary panics The sur
plus on March l, 1889, was SIS, S27, 1929.
The policy of applying this surplus to the re.
demption of the nterest-bearing securities OF
the Omitted States was thought TO be preferable
to that OF depositing it without interest in Sc
lected national banks. There have been re-
deemed, since the date last mentioned, OF inter-
est-bearing securities, $259,079,35o, resulting IN
q reduction of the annual interest charge OF
$ll,6S S,675 The money which had been depos-
tied in banks without interest is being gradual
ly Withdrawn and used in the redemption of
bonds. The result OF this policy, OF the silver
legislation and of the refunding OF the A per
cent. bonds, has been large increase OF the
money in circulation. At the date last named
the circulation 81, 40i,2G5, $780, or S23.O3 per
capita, while on the first day of December 1891.
II had increased to 1857. $780, or s24.3S per
capita. The offer OF the secretary OF the treas
ury to the holders OF the A per cent. bonds to
extend the time of redemption, at the option of
the government. at an interest OF per cent
was accepted by the holders of about one-half
the amount, and the unextended bonds are
being redeemed on presentation.

A Protest Has Been Made to the Cruel
Czar-Evils of IMMIGRATION


This government has found occasion to ex-
press in a friend y spirit, but with much earn
estness. to the government of the czar, its
serious concern because of the harsh measures
now being enforced against the Hebrews of
Russia by the revival of anti-Semitic laws long
in allegiance. Great numbers of these unfortun-
ate people have been constrained to abandon
their homes and leave the empire by reason of
the impoSsibility of finding subsistence within
the pale to which the laws are said
to confine them. The emigration of
these people to the United States,
many other countries being closed, is largely in
ereasing and is likely to reach proportions
which may make it difficult to find homes and
employment for those here and to seriously
affect the labor market. 1t is estimated that
over 100000 persons will be forced from Rus
STA within few years.
The Hebrew is never a b sgar He has always
kept the law OF lie by toll, often under severe
and oppressive civil restrictions 1t is also true
that no race, sect or class has more fully
cared for its own than the Hebrew race
But the sudden transfer of such
multitude, under conditions that tend
to strip them OF their small denominations and
TO depress their energies and courage. is neither
good for them nor for us. The Punishment,
whether by decree or by not less certain indi-
rect methods oil so lar c number of men and
women is not local question. A decree to
leave one country Is, in the nature of things, an
order TO enter some other. This consideration,
as well as the suggestions of humanity, fur
nishes us ample ground for the remonstrances
which we have presented to Russia, while our
but give the assurance that the representations
