SOUTH AFRIcA's GOLDEN CITY.
johannesburg and Its Wonderful
Growth--Product of the Mines.

Witwatusrandt gold-felds, in the
Southern part of the South African
Republic, at an elevation of 5000
feet above the sea-lsvel, says a cor
respondent in the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. It's climate is most sa-
lubrious and pleasant. In the year
1885 the Government of the South
African Republic proclaimed and
threw open for mining purposes
tract of land on which gold had
previously been discovered and
found to be in paying quantities.
This tract of land, which was then
a treeless prairie, with no human
habitation within miles Of it, and
no railroad facilities or other means
of cheap transportation, is to-day
~ years later-the site of Johan-
nesburg, a city of $4,000 inhabi-
tants, with all the improvements
and conveniences of the modern
American city Of similar size.
Shortly after proclaiming the dis
trict open for mining purposes.
men focked to the new Gel Dora
do" from all parts of the world.
Prospecting was vigorously pushed
| in every direction, and ere long it
was discovered that the lodes bear
ing the precious metal were very
extensive, having length of forty
miles and a breadth varying from
one-half to two miles, its thickness
varying from one to seven feet.
The country through which the
gold bearing strata passes was all
staked out in mining claims, and
innumerable syndicates and mining
companies were organized. In No
vember, 1887, there were no less
than sixty-eight gold-lnining com
panies, with 93,O63,O 900, and in Jan
uary 1890, there were 450 compa-
nies, with 100000 capital
These extensive preparations were
made for active mining. The as
sembling of so many people in a
"mushroom" town made good open
ings for all kinds of business
Churches. theatres, Government
buildings, business blocks, and all

broad streets lined with magnificent
stores, hotels, Office buildings ane

in the suburbs beautiful residences

present are paying handsome divi
dends, and developing is constantly
going along. The monthly yield o

MILWAUKEE MOB.

Unemployed Call on the Mayor.
Green Groceries Looted.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 23.-Fifteen hun
dred unemployed workingmen in the
morning made q demonstration, and
serious trouble was stopped only by
prompt action of the police, and then
only after the mob had pilfered from
the street green groceries, etc. At
p. m. a motley assemblage, comprising
mainly day laborers who have thus far
found employment working upon the
streets and digging cellars and similar
work, gathered in courthouse park and
called for Mayor Koch, and commit
tee of four was selected to talk with
him. August Reicert acted as spokes-
man. Addressing the mayor he said:
"We want you to look after the street
contractors" Then he branched
into TRADE against the manner in
which the contractors treated the men.
1--WE are not oxen," he said, sand if we
work we want to be paid"
The mayor advised the men to dis
perse, saying the city contract work
would be all right in two weeks, as
soon as the city could get money, the
city's money now being tied up in
failed banks. The men then started a
parade down the street, attempting to
break into stores and taking fruits and
vegetables from stands on the street
and eating them. The police finally
dispersed them with severe clubbing.

The Indiana Senator Advocates Un
conditional Repeal
WASHINGTON, Aug. %. I'm the senate
Mr.. Allen of Nebraska offered an
amendment to the Voorhees, repeal bill
lin the form of a provision for the
coinage of silver at the present rate of
IS to /, under the same conditions en-
forced as to the coinage of gold, and
directing the coinage, without unneces-
sary delay, of the silver bullion now in
the treasury. 1t was referred to the
finance committee, as was also a bill
introduced by Mr.. PETER of Kansas for
the reduction of the salaries of all the
government officers from 81 900 upward
by 10 and 20 per cent.
Mr.. voorhees, of Indiana, chairman of
the finance committee, addressed the
senate in advocacy of the bill reported
by him last Friday, disseminating the
purchase of silver bullion.
Mr.. Voorhees, closed his speech at 2
p. M, having occupied hour and is
minutes in its delivery. The senate
was then addressed by Mr.. Dubois of
Idaho on the silver question.
Mr.. Voorhees, speech was listened to
with the greatest attention. Nearly
every senator was in his seat, many
members of the house occupying seats
in the rear, and the galleries contained
the largest crowd of the session. The
presiding officer was obliged to threaten
to clear the galleries in order to repress
the applause called forth by Mr.. Voor-
hees' affirmation of allegiance to Ceve-
land, and other strong points.

Out Threats
That He Would Prevent Santa Fe Min

Looted.

ToPEKA, Kan, Aug. 2S.-Telegrams
received here show that the threats
made by President Walters of the coal
miners union, to prevent miners going
to work at Frontenac, in the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad COM
pany's mines were not idle. At meet
ing held in Frontenac Sunday he said
that the strikers should not carry out
the contract made with the company
until it has been sanctioned by the
union. He declared then that he would
bring 1900 men to Frontenac to drive
all persons from the mines The first
company of the 1000 men, 30 in num-
Der, arrived at Frontenac Monday
night and wentinto camp at the mines.
At 8 a. m. 300 more of Walters men
arrived from Weir City and Pittsburg
and went into camp. The manager of
the mine called on the sheriff of Craw-
ford county, who deputized as many
merchants and professional men as he
could find before daybreak, and started
for the scene of the threatened battle.
~ ono WOAO VoASSidpuCO Lux w oh
of the neighboring towns by Man
ager Wilson, who is in charge
of the Santa Fe mines, and every pos
sible preparation was made to protect
miners who desire to resume work.
The sheriff is handicapped in getting
men sufficient to cope with Walters
crowd, and if the threatened clash
should come he will be compelled to
ask the governor for the militia.
Thirty men went to work in the mines
at o'clock, but the presence of Walters
and his crowd prevented a large major
ity signing the agreement. Two hum
dred were ready to go into the pits, but
they were prevented from doing SO by
Walters and his mob.
The company will resist with all the
force that it is able to muster any at
tempt on the part of the strikers to
move upon the company's property,
and unless Walters backs down from
his present warlike attitude bloodshed
will certainly result.

Discoveries CT a Duluth Chemist to
Revolutionize Use of aluminium.
|EDULUTH, Mimi, Aug. 23.-Some
weeks ago the patent Office authorities
sent to this city chemical expert on
an application for patent for a new
process Of obtaining aluminium from
its oxide. The process is claimed to
include chemical combination hereto
fore supposed to be impossible, and on
this ground the application for q patent
had been rejected, the method being
termed imperative. Three entirely
satisfactory tests were made by the
government chemist and he returned to
Washington. A copy of his report to
the patent Office was received here a
day or two ago. After detailing the
tests. all made by himself, he states
that the process is operative, that 1t is
possible, and that it appears to be
almost perfect in its results in obtain
ing the entire aluminium value OF the
oxide. A patent will be granted very
shortly.
The discoverer Of this process and his
Duluth associates claim that they can
produce pure aluminium at price con-
siderably below that of any of the cleo
trical processes and at price that will
make it considerably cheaper, bulk for
bulk, than copper.
Experiments have been under way

Washburn Claims and Hansbrough
Admits the Sherman Law Will Go.
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 90. The Tribune's
Washington special says:
Senator Washburn, the most aggres-
sive repeater" from the Northwest in
the senate, and Senator Hansbrough,
the free silver advocate, both stated
that repeal would carry in the senate.
In accordance with this idea Senator
Washburn has delayed introducing
other matters that he is interested in.
He says the house steering committees
plan to adjourn from day to day as soon
as the Wilson bill is passed is excellent,
as throwing all the weight of public
feeling upon the senate. All will de-
pend, however, upon the way the house
acts next Monday. He says Hans
brough has made pretty thorough
canvass of the situation, and he adds
that the repeal will have small major
ity, which, he claims. is due to the
presidents having worked patronage
most effectively.
Senator Washburn says the filibuster-
ing, instead of being directed against
the repeal bill, will be conferred upon
the Voorhees, bill to increase bank cir
culation. He believes, however, that
Southern Democrats will not fight after
they find themselves beaten and the
senators from silver states cannot keep
up flibustering after Sept. Is. He ex-
poets to get vote about that time.
Senator Kyle has introduced his old
bill providing that the government
erect public buildings in every city of
5000 and over. and every county seat
in the country. His idea is to make a
general law to take the place of the
special bills for public buildings which
are now introduced. He hopes to bring
up the measure at this time because it
will give an opportunity to put unem-
ployed labor at work.
