SOME EAc1s ABOUT CHILE.
Resources and Products of the PluclSy
Republic.

Resources and Products of the Plucky
Republic.
Chile is long, narrow strip of land
on the west side of South America, ex-
tending from the Andes mountains to
the Pacific ocean. Its length is 2270
miles. or about as far as from Texas il
from New York. Its width varies from
40 to 200 miles. The Andes extend in
parallel ranges the entire length of the
country. The area of Chile is computed
at 2lS, 925 square miles and its popula-
ton (2,310, 1865 in 1880 at 5000, 600. Chile
lays claim to Patagonia and Terra del
Fuego, those bleak provinces at the end
of the South American continent which
are peopled almost entirely by savages.
While the country is mostly mountain
Gus, there are fine alluvial lands around
the lakes and in the river valleys.
Its Constitution and Government.
The present constitution was adopted
in 1898 and the sovereignty is declared
to reside in the people. The exercise OF
its function is delegated to three distinct
powers as in the United States
legislative, executive and judicial. They
have a senate and chamber of dep
uties. The chamber of deputies con.
tains 100 members, each elected for a
term of three years, ON the principle OF
equal electoral districts with cumulative
voting and by a suffrage enjoyed by all
citizens who are 81 years of age il
married and % years if unmarried. The
term of Office of senator's is nine years
The president is the supreme executive
head of the government at salary OF
$4,000 year, or about $4,000. There
are five cabinet ministers, each with q
salary of $4,000. The president is chosen
for term of five years. He is moi
eligible to reelection until a term shall
have interviewed. The ministers are
permitted to take part in all the debates
in congress Chile is divided into fifteen
provinces, viz; Atacama, Coquimbo
Valparaiso, Aconcagua, Santiago
Colchaqua, Curico, Talca, Maule, Nuble
Conception, Arauca, Valdivia, Llarqui
ture and Chloe, and also the settlement
of Magellan. Santiago is the capital
on the Mapocho river.

Justices Slow Pace.

Americans used to quick trials by
jury cannot understand how the Judi.
cial investigation made by the Chilean
government into the Baltimore riot
drags so slowly. Trial by jury is un.
known in Chile except in modified
form to libel cases connected with the
press. The procedure in all Chilean
courts is based on the fundamental
principles which obtain in all Latin
countries, and is as slow as an American
court of equity. The supreme court
sits at Valparaiso and there are three
courts of appeals. Evidence is mostly
taken by dispositions in writing.
Production and Manufactures.
Chile is rich in minerals. Among it,
metals are gold, silver, copper, lead
antimony, zinc, nickel, bismuth, iron
and quicksilver found In mines in the
northern section, while coal in great
abundance abounds in the southern ter.
ritory. Gypsum is found in immense
beds in the province of Santiago. Cop.
per forms 80 per cent. of the metal ex.
ports, while the production of coal il
from 100000 to 100000 tons annu.
ally. Silver is exported in large quaint.
ties to England.
The manufactures of Chile are limited
to Touring mills, smelling works,
tanneries, breweries, roperies and SOAP
works

The Result of Merir.

When anything stands test OF fifty years
among a discriminating people like the
Americans, it is pretty good evidence that
there is merit somewhere. The value of a
medicine is best proved by its continued use
from year to year by the same persons
and families, rs well as by a steady increas-
ing sale. Few, if any, medicines have met
with such continued success and popularity
as has marked the introduction and pro-
gress Of BRANDRETHs PILLS, which, after
trial of over fifty years, are conceded to
be the safest and most effective purgative
and blood purifier introduced TO the public
That this is tue result of merit aud that
BRANDRETH's PILLS actually perform all
that is claimed for them, is conclusively
proved by the fact that those who regard
them with the greatest favor are those who
have used them the longest.
BRANDRETH'S Pills are sold in every
drug and medicine store. either plain or
sugar coated. I'D.

THE DESERT LAKE DISAPPEARING.
Going Away Aim ost as Mysteriously
as it Came.
From the Nete York Times

From the Metz York Times.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.-The lake in the
heart of the Colorado desert, which made
its appearance so mysterlously last sum-
mer, is now disappearing. Supt. Dubrow of
the salt works at Salton, in speaking of the
strange phenomenon, said:
ut was not the quantity Of water that
passed through the crevaS 50 of the Colorado
river that made Salton lake. This crevasss
was measured and vas found to be only 300
feet wide, but the lake was made by the
general overflow Of the banks for ten or
twelve miles TO depth Of Pa feet with
current of five milos an hour. That over
flow was the true cause Of the lake being
formed at salton. At least two
thirds az the water that passes
through the cravesse flows south west
and reaches the Colorado river near
Its mouth. Salton lake is now only 10
miles long and miles broad, and has only
IL inches of water in its deepest place. Its
greatest area in August was 10 miles by 3D.
1t is my opinion that unless the Colorado
river rises TO nearly the same hight as it did
last February, little water from the river
will reach Salt9n. Lakes that were formed
between the Colorado and Saton have en-
tirely disappeared, and il Will take an i'm
mense volume OF water to fill again these
depressiOns, Indeed, until they are filed
the water cannot reach SaltOn.
From present appearances here will be
no flood III the Colorado in February, and
hence the summer rise Will be small. The
wind of this winter has been filing up the
channels cut by the water that came down
to Salton last summer. The moisture has
started growth Of mesquite, the seed of
which was carried OF the desert by the water
to places where no vegetation was ever
known. These trees will be the means Of
forming sand dunes, which will serve as
barriers to future foods With no high
water this year, these trees and drifting
sand will have nearly two years to form
checks to the high water OF
1898. This will be ample time
TO cut off all water communion
ton of the Colorado with Salton. 1t Is put
question of time when the depression in
the Colorado desert will be entirely cut off
from the Colorado river. The sand hills,
beginning ABOUT Pilot Knob and extending
about forty miles are gradually reaching
the Cocopah mountains. When Joined to
these mountains they will form a barrier
from 200 to 300 feet high, that will entirely
shut oil the water Of the Colorado river
from the New river country and Salton.
The channel through which tho water came
last summer is now entirely dry for 100
miles from Salton

The Private ana the Bear.

Private McNamlra, of the Fourth
Cavalry, stationed in the Yosemite
National Park, got leave to 90 hunting, !
and went over to Devils Gulch, tho
rouyhest canon in the country and the
best hiding place for big game. Nc
Namara had good luck, and killed about
n dozen gray squirrels, which he sluug
to his belt. He had turned homeward,
and was picking his way through fallen
timber, when grizzly arose from behind
raised his :aftKK9agds away. Mcnamara
howled and started for him, and NC.
Namara felt in his belt for another cart
ridge, but none was there. He had fired
mis- last shot.
Mcnamara realized that he had to
trust to his legs to get him out of that
scrapc, and he turned and ran faster than
he ever sprintcd in his life. But the
bear was the better runner, and gained
rapidly. The dangling squirrels inn
peded McNamara's action, and as he ran
he tried to get rid of them. He pulled
two loose and dropped them, and the
grizzly stopped to investigate. Bruin
found them good, and he ate them in
two gulps and resumed the chase.
Mcnamara dropped some moic squir
rels and gained several yards. He re.
peated the trick until he had good
! lead, and then he unhookcd his belt and
dropped all that were left and when the
grizzly finished the lot Mcnamara was
out of sight across the river and getting
his second wind for long run home
