Too Many Idle Mines.

II 10 gratifying TO notice that in man,
parts Of California men Of capitai ant
energy are acquiring possession of quart;
mines which have been idle for many
years, and are making q systematic ef
fort TO reopen them and place them or
q dividend-payin basis. The proper
ton OF non-producers which contain pay
ore in the list Of California mining prop
critics has been altogether too large
There is no important mining district
which does not contain one or more
mines with fine records as producers,
which have from one cause or another
been shut down for years The shafts
have caved In, the mines are foil oi
water, the surface works have fallen into
decay, and the properties are Of no prac.
tical value either 10 their owners or to
the community in which they are located
II is not necessary In this place to re-
view the reasons which brought about
this deplorable state OF things; suffice it
TO say that the number of good Cslifor-
MIA mines in this condition is large.
The movement for acquiring control Of
these mines is general. The methods OF
payment are various, the consideration
at times being cash; or the owner takes
his payment, or part OF the payment,
from the proceeds Of the mine, or he
parts only with a working interest; and
80 on. II is seldom, however, that
buyer will pay cash outright on the mere
history Of these mines. They have been
shut down SO long that statements as 10
their output do not receive the credence
that they perhaps deserve. A buyer
wants to see the mine opened up before
committing himself to a heavy outlay.
He wants to see what ore is in sight, the
size Of the ledge, the character Of ore,
and there are many other things he must
know for himself He knows it is un-
safe to buy on hearsay; and il is not
often that he can be persuaded TO 10 80.
In many cases, owners conscious OF the
merit and value of their properties, and
rich enough to be independent, refuse to
entertain any proposition having condi-
tions attached to it; and, as conse.
9nence, many Of these mines seem likely
TO remain non-producers. II other
cases, owners are financially unable to
do anything with their properties, and
are unwilling to enter into any arrange
ment with others which does not insure
them much the largest share Of the
profits. Naturally, few men are ready
to furnish working capital, put up new
or refit an old mill, resiDk a shaft and
drain mine, without reasonable as
surance OF remunerative returns, com
prising fair share OF the profits.
The common ground on which these
two interests may meet is hard TO find,
and it is difficult 20 lay down a general
rule applicable to all cases. The condi-
tions are always different in different
places. But 1t is probable that at no
future time will capitalists be more
friendly disposed toward investment ia
gold properties, or more anxious TO nc.
qnlre An interest in them. IL therefore
behooves owners to make concessions
to the demands Of capital, for the time
may never be more propitious, and the
mines never considered more valuable.

TRIAL OF DIR. HOWARD
Further Concerning Operations
of the Alleged Swindler.
How Americans We're Duped by evil
liam Lord Moore" i'm LOndOn--Events
Leading to His Arrest.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.


JACKSON, Tenn, Dec. 1.-THE interest
in the William Lord Moore case does not
abate. There have been many sensational
developments in court during the week.
AS stated yesterday, the case is a cele-
brated one Rev. George Frederick Bur-
goyne Howard, a noted Baptist minister of
West Tennessee. is charged with manipula-
ting gigantic swlndle, which for awhile
he conducted with headquarters in Lon
don, England. The outcome of the case,
which is being prosecuted by the govern
ment hinges upon the identification of the
minister as the London swindler, and to
convict Howard the government has
brought Scotland Yard inspectors and sew
eral London witnesses to this country be-
sides introducing a large number OF wit
nesses from different parts of the United
States. II would seem from the evidence
that the vaunted persistence with which
Uncle Sam runs to the ground offenders
against his laws, is having great weight
against the minister's prospective freedom.
In yesterdays sketch of the career of the
alleged swindler many matters of detail
were necessarily omitted. For some time
the prisoner has been at the head of a
prosperous church, whose structure he built
with his own private funds, and yet the
operating this swindle the while, and that
he made thousands of dollars in London by
the same method He has maintained that
he is not the man whom the government
describes. but 1T seems that his story has
been sadly shaken this week. The trend
of events in the story begins in London,
with 1891 the year. There is a broadcast
idea In America that large fortunes in Eng
land and Europe are awaiting claimants.
many OF whom are supposed to be in
America. The comparative youthfulness of
the United States, the heavy tide of immi-
grafton in the early part OF the century,
the confusion OF family trees and the many
stories told by pioneers of their wealthy
connections in the older countries, has led
many an American family of the present
day TO believe that ii has some claim to an
estate, the Inheritance of which was neg
lected by a forefather in his mad rush TO
the country OF the United States. On
this prevailing false idea, and upon the Gre
dulity OF great many people in moderate
or in poor circumstances William Lord
Moore is alleged to have based his ill
awarded prosperity. 1t was he who opera
ted in London in the summer and fall of
1891. 1t is he whom the United States gov

MOORES METHODS.
In 1891 William Lord Moore lived at No.
8 IngersolI Road, Shepard Bush, London.
He was visited by Scotland Yard inspec-
tor as a result OF the Investigations set on
foot by United States Minister Robert
Lincoln and Hon. John c. New, United
States consul-general to London at that
time. Complaints began to reach the offices
of this government in England that a bold
operator was obtaining n great deal or
money from America by pretending TO Sc

THE LOWER PEC0S.

Southwestern Texas, particularly along
the lower Pecos and Rio Grande, is suffer-
ing from severe drought, and many
Texas papers are speaking of the lower
Pecos being il "a deplorable condition.
In some quarters, too, there is DISPOSE
ton to attribute this condition of things
to the establishment of immense reser-
yoirs for the storage of water in the New
Mexico section of the Pecos valley. This,
however, is wholly unjust and uncalled
for. Droughts in the Texas region, which
is watered by the Pecos, are OF frequent
recurrence and in years past, prior to the
establishment of this reservoir system,
were quite as disastrous as at present.
Besides, the waters of this stream origin
ate wholly in New Mexico, coming largely
from springs in the immediate vicinity
of these reservoirs, and that part of the
Texas region now suffering has no claim
whatever upon these waters as against
the rights of New Mexican residents. The
Pecos valley in New Mexico is all right.

where to stop in Chicago.

The perplexing question which is every
day asked by people who desire to go to
Chicago to attend the Worlds far is,
"Where are we going to stay when we get
therey' This is easily answered, and II
you will go to the ticket agent OF the
Santa Fe, Mr.. w. M. Smith, he will tell
you. ,
Arrangements have been made for the
distribution by the Santa Fe company OF
pamphlet entitled Homes Tor visitors
to the Worlds Fair" This is reliable
pamphlet containing the rames and ad-
dresses of about 5000 families who will
furnish accommodations to visitors from
May to October 81, 1893. The pamphlet
also contains sectional maps which will
enable the intending visitor to select any
quarter of the city that he would prefer.
Correspondence can then be carried on
and definite arrangements made so that
when visitors arrive IN Chicago they can
proceed at once to their quarters.

MORE REVOLUTIONS.

Quiet has been restored among the
revolutionists of northern Mexico, but
from all reports matters are in a bad way
down there and what with the long
drought and the suffering it brings the
poorer classes and the apprehension from
official sources, no one need be surprised
to hear startling news from western
chihuahua before many months have
passed. Already Diaz has had to rule in
that quarter with an iron hand, and the
people are now only prevented by abject
fear from organizing an uprising such as
has not occurred in Mexico for years.

There's no use talking, something has
got to be done in the way of better rail
way connections with New Mexico. The
people of the territory mean business.
They are ready to put up their money
whenever it is called Tor. They present
unanswerable arguments in favor of more
