The mythology tells us of dra-
gon which had many heads, and
every time one was cut off it grew
on again. Like Biblical fables 1t Is
typical of things that are all
around us. In fact we are not
sure that the world is not pretty
well filled with dragons. In min
ing we certainly have enough of
them. They are immortal, like the
devil, and rank with him in honor:
and as the devil never fails to catch
suckers, we suppose the dragon
never will, at least until the millin-
mum comes and no man will covert
the ducats, the maid servant or the
wife of some other fellow. The
world will.be aged and grey when
that hour puts in its appearance.
The Oldest and rankest mining
dragon of all is the tin ore fraud.
1t began with the lie that the
United States government had
offered a large leward for the dis.
coyery of q TIN mine. This lead to
an immediate discovery in Mis-
souri,, and the investment of a
$3.50, 900 in a worthless mill which
stands idle and rotted to day.
The fellow with a secret method of
assaylng TIN ore caught the Mis-
souri, suckers. They were corn
fed and should have known better,
but they did not. They long ago
kissed their money good by and
knocked several heads off the
dragon which Immediately grew
on again. Denver Mining In

THE PENITEN rES.

The late and highly respected
Archbishop Lamy waged a con
stant war with the Penitentes and
at the time of his death had the
qualification of knowing that while
he had not eradicated the infamous
practice of the Penltentes, he had
restricted them to the limits of the
most obscure and illiterate portions
of the southwest. The action OF
the present head of the Catholic
church IN the southwest, his pro-
clamation has sounded the death
knell of an order whose members
are more fitting to be confined
within the limits of a penitentiary
or mad house than to be permitted
the privilege of breathing the same
atmosphere with the human beings
with whom they are permitted to
mingle.
The origin OF the Penitentes 1T
is believed sprung from the practice
of the franciscan monks who ac-
companied the conquistadores
when New Mexico was first occu :
pied by the followers of Cortez.
AS is known the Franciscan mis-
sionarIes were wont to conquer the
flesh by fiageatlons. When the
FraDciscans were driven away from
their missions, the present order of
the Penitentes sprung up and from
year to year they improvised, in
vented and improved IN their
cruelty until they SURPASSED the
sun dance, tue snake dance and
other aboriginal brutalities. Ell

The bearing of geological knowl.
edge upon mining Is beginning to
be fairly understood and rated foi
what it is worth, neither more or
less. Miners do not look to the
geologist to perform miracles in
the way of prophecy, nor on the
other hand are they apt to slight
the indications and the generaliza-
tiops which the trained scientists
ara able to offer with reasonable
degree of certainty within certain
limits. 1t is admitted that geolo-
gical science has not yet made the
same progress IN regard to the
understanding of ore deposits of
the precious metals as 1t has in the
case of coal, petroleum, natural gas,
brine and artesian wells and per-
haps iron ore deposits; but
the admission need not lessen con-

Diamonds were discovered in
California as early as 1850. That
year a New Englander, Rev. Mr.
Lyman, found one as large as a
pea. 1t was slightly straw colored
and had convex faces. In 1882, a
diamond three tenths of an inch In
diameter, colorless and perfectly
transparent, was found at Volcano,
Amador county, by A. Schmitz
1t fs peculiar in form in that it is
regular octahedron with convex
faces. Many diamonds, some very
valuable, have been found at and
about Cherokee, Butte county. As
early AS 1852 several diamonds, a
few fine ones, were found at Coon
Hollow, near Placeryllle. Indeed
diamonds have been found by pla-
Ger iminers in several places in
Amador, Butte Nevada, lei Dorado
and Trinity counties. No one has
ever made business of searching
for the gems. All those found
were obtained by miners IN pan
nlng for gold. Some years ago a
miner named Chris Wisner, who
was running tunnel in gravel
under cap of 40 feet of lava
at a place about a mile north of the
town of Volcano found about
twenty diamonds. Some of the
stones were little off color, but
most Of them were of the best water.
Wisner worked at his tunnel only
about three months. Those he
found he obtained in testing the
gravel for gold as his tunnel was
This was only from
time to time. Undoubtedly had
the whole of the gravel taken from
the tunnel been worked over after
the method in use in South Africa
many more diamonds would have
been found, and probably some
that would have made noise in

Although many men who rushed
to Harqua Hala, Arizona, when the
strike at that place was first an
nounced. came away curslng the
place as worthless and its discov-
erer as s"fraud," the owners Of
the mine have no reason to COM
PLAIN of their find. They have
just shipped to San Francisco a
gold bar weighing 300 pounds and
worth $4,000 As it was the pro.

Mr.. Stead's brilliant character
sketch of the late Rev. Chas. Ell.
Spnrgeon, which appears in the
March number Of Review of Re-
views, will not only interest the
public, but will particularly attract
all students of the theological
tendencies of the day. Mr.. Stead
discusses Surgeons theological
conservatism with an unhesitating
frankness. This number of the
Review of Reviews has portrait
of Spurgeon as its frontispiece,
and the character sketch carries a
number of interesting Spurgeon
illustrations.

THE QUORUM RULE.

The Supreme Court OF the
United States has decided that the
House OF representatives possesses
the power to adopt such a rule as
that under which Mr.. Reed counted
quorum
The decision goes simply to the
power of the House. Ii the power
exists, the only remaining question,
is for the determination OF the
House itself. 1t becomes purely a
question of policy.
Mr.. Reed is said to have become
quite self-gratulatory when he was
told of the decision. He seems to
regard it as vindication, although
it is nothing of the kind.
The real issue always was as to
the propriety of such a rule. The
ordinary Speaker in this country
is a party leader, and Mr.. Reed
was that or nothing. Even the
non partisan Speakers aud Presi-
dents of European bodies are not
trusted to count quorum.
The miscounts made during Mr..
Reeds term, which included the
counting of members not in the
House nor even in the Capito.. and
the roaring and discrderly farce
into which the high handed rule
turned the proceedings, show why
this power should not be gwen to
any one, and clearly how it might
be abused by corrupt Speaker
anxious only to serve his party.
The Supreme Court may sustain
the power, but right-thinking men
have condemned the practice.

The SHOWS in Spain, softened by the storms
are rapidly melting, with the result that
the foods in the provinces of Granada.
Malaga, Almeria and Cordova are increas-
ing. Already enormous damage has been
done to all kinds of property, and it
Is feared that unless the waters
rapidly subside the loss will be incalculable.
The town Of Adra, sixty miles southeast of the
city Of Granada, noted for Its lead mines, is
threatened with inundation. Parts Of Indiga
and kuelin, suburbs of the city Of Malaga, are
flooded.
All the country surrounding the town of
Nelez-Malaga. on the river Velez, fourteen
miles northwestern Malaga, is inundated. Velez-
Malaga is situated in fertile valley at the foot
OF steep mountains, and the country is, therefore,
particularly liable to floods when the SHOWS
huts belonging to poor peasants have been
swept away.
The river Guadaljoce, which rises in the
frontiers OF Granada and empties into the
Mediterranean six miles southwest of Malaga,
has overfowed its banks and the
town Of Churriana is flooded. The
heavy rains that have prevailed
for some days past continue. A large number
OF houses in the flood districts have been I'M
dermined by the water and threaten at any
moment to collapse.
The river Tagus is five feet above its normal
level and continues to rise The inhabitants
OF the towns along its banks are building
levees to protect themselves from inundation.

ROUvIER THE NEW MINISTER.
He fs Selected by President Carnot to Form
New Cabinet.


NJ. Rouvier, minister Of finance under de NJ
Freycinet, has been selected by President Car
not of France to form cabinet, with Rouvier
premier. 1t is said that N. Rouvier will re-
appoint all of the former ministers excepting
u. Falliers, minister of justice and public
worship, NJ. Yves Guyot. minister of public
works, and NJ. Barley. minister of marine.
NJ. Rouvier was born in 1912 at AK and be-
came a lawyer in Marseiiles, where he earnestly
opposed the Emperor Napoleon by articles in
the journals. This prevented any public pro-
motion until the overthrow of the empire.
After Sedan NJ. Rouvier was appoin ted to the
prefecture of Bouches- Du- Rhone. In 1872 he
was appointed On commission to reform the
Judiciary of Egypt, where he zealously sus-
tained the interests of France. In 1876 he was
elected to the chamber of deputies from Mar
settles. and this was his start in a national
career He took place on the extreme left.
His progress In political life was somewhat
threatened in the following May by the allega-
ton that he had been guilty of immoral acts
within the precincts of the Palais Royal The
monarchists, who looked upon him as a rising
and dangerous adversary, did all they could to
exaggerate the charges. Rouvier demanded an
investigation and was acquitted. although the
Judgment OF acquittal carried with it q certain
implication not altogether favorable. Rouvier
was reelected in 1877. In the debates in the
chamber he showed a thorough and compre-
hensive grasp Of commercial and financial cues.

finance has justified the opinion then formed
