GREAT SILVER MINES.

The president of the Hianchaca

recently reported as saying that h,
expected that silver would further
decrease IN value, but that sucl
decrease would have no effect on
the Hssnchaes company because
it could produce silver at q proh,
even il the price dropped to 27C
francs per kilo, or say, AZ cents per
ouacs. This is by no means M
idle boast, remarks the Engineer.
ing and Mining Journal. During
1891 this company mined 81, ,497,
1858 ezs. OF silver at a fetal cost Of
S2,4l4, 800, sr "A cents per ounce,
This cost in detail as follows: Min
ing, l6 cssts; new works, 6 cents;

taxes and export dues, 5 cants;
general expenses, s cents. Not
withstandiag the low prise Of silver
during the past year, the output Of
this mine Increased nearly Is per
cent, amounting to 6,G67 ,703 ozs.,
and tina ore reserves are larger
than befo.e. Fer the 10 years
ending with 1891, this company
produced bullion valued at $43,-

This mine by no means stands

aga being AZ cents; the cost per

1887 to | A IN 1892. the average be-
ing 1855 cents. This company has
paid dividends amounting to SO
490,SG2, an average OF So cts. per
ounce.
The Granite Mountain mining
company has, sincs 1898, produced
81. 100000 ounces at a total cost OF
$5,376,620, an average OF 3S cents
per ounce.
Some of these mines are bscona-
ing exhausted, notably the Granite
Mountain, but new ones are con-
stantly being discovered, and in all
probability will continue to be dis
covorad for many years to come.
Thus ths recently discovered

abb y cease to pay dividends
Should the Journal learn that a
certain mine in Aspen recently
shipped 1000 pounds of ore to 4
DeRver smeltsr, which was 95 per

arrive at ths conclusion that the

Life o, an italian sicnalman.

A signalman in Italy has a remarkably
easy time oi it in comparison with his
British bre1 hren. This is of course part
ly due to the greater leisureliness of rail-
way traffic in the peninsula, but is partly
also the outcome of the conditions under
which he is required or permitted to ply
his calling. He is always married-if
he were a bachelor he would not be en-
ployed-and his little cabin beside the
railway is also his home. He is free
during the daytime. at least, to engage
in any other occupation he may desire.
When train passes his wife puts on his
hat-an official covering-and goes out
to give the necessary signal with the
flag, The wages amount to about a

The greatest work of antiquity on
angling is said to be the Haieutica of
Orphan, Greek poet, who fiourished in
the time Of Severus, A. D., 1893, from
which we learn that many articles in
fishing thought to be modern were known
to the ancients. We also learn from

written treatises or poems on fishing
