ASPHALT PAvEMENTs.
A wonderful Lake where the Ma.
teriaI lis Found.

/
Most of the mineral pitch that is now in
use comes from the famous asphalt lake Of
Trinidad off the coastof Venezuela. With.
in ten years it has assumed q large com
merclal Importance, for a Philadelphia
man, Charles r. Stollmeyer, has begun to
work it and has removed about a million
dollars worth of substance, He leases the
lake from the government for nearly 5000,
800 year. A curious Indian legend has it
that an entire tribe was suddenly lngulfed
in this tract for the offense of shooting
humming birds, which were supposed to
be souls Of the dead. 1t is about 100 acres
in extent and stands on q plateau so feet
above the sea and less than a mile from it.
The geologists who surveyed Trinidad hold
that the lake is not due to volcanic action
or COnYI1Ision OF any sort, but results from
a slow process by which decayiIlg vegetable
matter is changed, in the hot soil or under
a hot sun, into pitch and OIL instead of
coal or peat-a change that would probably
occur in temperate climate. The press
ure OF nelghbOring strata, partly lateral
partly everything, forces the pitch through
the opening that it has found and the sup
ply may endure for centuries. Vegetable
origin is suggested by the emergence of
tree trunks that project above the surface.
For some distance about the place the soil
is soft and pitchy, and as the lake is ap-
preached, vegetation grows poor and stunt
ed, the grasses and weeds being sustained
largely by the rainWater that forms puddles
here and there. The lake itself
spreads out as black mass, edged
with woods, creased with riffs from three
to thirty feet wide and two to six feet deep.
These riffs usually contain water that
tastes little of bitumen, but is pure
enough to drink and for fish and alligators
to live in. Tiny islands of firmer soil dot
the surface, their existence being indicated
by clumps of bushes, but these firm places
do not extend for any depth; they are lit
orally floating islands, and those who often
visit the lake notice that their position is
frequently shifted, while once in a while an
island will sink and emerge again with its
leaves and branches crusted and daubed
with bitumen. There is a slight but con-
stant motion, imperceptible to the eye, in
this strange reservoir, and it is
only the pitch about the edge of it
that hardens by loss of its oils and mois-
ture. Beyond this firm edge it would be
unsafe to venture, for the foot sinks deep
at every step, and none can tell what CULTS
of asphalt lie below. The mixture of
earthly matter with the asphalt gives sub
stance to it, and prevents it from becoming
sticky or gummY. 1t will not adhere to
the fingers and can be moulded into any
shape, like putty. The oily smell, with
occasional Whiffs like sulphuretted hydro
gen, that eminate from the lake are said to
cause the avoidance of its immediate vi
cinity by birds and animals SO plentiful in
adjacent woods

Bland Says Some of the southern
States Will Go Republican if

SON scored for His views.
New YORK, April %. = The Herald's
Washington special says "For the sake
of a few New England mugwumps we are
likely to lose number Of democratic silver
states," declared Congressman Bland.
Bland has apparently abandoned all hope
of silver legislation at the present session
of congress. He does not admit this in so
many words, but does not talk hopefully of
getting his bill up again in the house.
Bland was asked what states the demo-
Gratis will likely lose this fall because of
their failure to pass the silver bill. He
named North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Ar
kansas.
''What do you think of the proposition
for monetary conference ~
Bland received the suggestion with a
scornful sniff and said: "That does not
fool anybody. There will be no monetary
conference. The president does not want a
monetary conference; England don't want
monetary conference, nor New England
nor do the bankers Of Wall street. They
are all in the pool. This is merely polit-
ieal trick on the part OF the president. He
simply wants to tide over the solution un-
til the next election. Ha has no expecta-
ton that there will be a monetary confer
ence, nor have /. r.
Bland said the committee on rules might
bring in an order calling up the silver bill
again, and keeping it before the house I'M
til disposed of, but asked if he thought
they would do it, replied that he could not
tell what they would do These views Of
Bland's seemed to be shared by Pugh, Of
Alabama, an ardent silver man, and strong
opponent of the nomination of Cleveland.
He agrees with Bland in thinking that a
number of the southern states doubtful
with anti free coinage candidates. He goes
further and insists tnat North Carolina and
South Carolina will be carried by the repub-
licans at the autumn election if the demo-
Gratis nominate Cleveland or any candidate
with anti-silver views.
"Humbug, II was the ejaculation Of Sena-
tor Stewart of Nevada, when asked what
he thought of the presidents plan for an
international silver conference. The presi-
dent talks about the enlarged use of silver,
said Senator Stewart, but there-can be no
enlarged use Of silver, except to use it fol
money. He is talking nonsense, and I in.
tend making speech about it at the first
| opportunity.

a writer in the Oregonian who IS camp

Although no definite decision has been
reached, it is probable that P. Dolan may
convert the Baumeister block into first
class hotel by erecting anadditionaI build
ing where his saloon now stands. The
present building at the corner of Main and

the contemplated Improvements will make
it one Of the most imposing structures in
