Biggest Gold Mine in the World.

George E. Webber Jr., flor the pas
 seven years superintendent of tn l El Csllado gold mine, situated some l 400 miles above the mouth of tht
 Orinoco river in southeastern Ven
 ezuela and thirty miles inland, ar
 rived in the city a few days ago
 and next tweek departs for the South
 African gold fields as an expert for
 the Rothschilds of London to ex-
 anime into and report upon the
 prospects in the Transvaal.
 The story told by Mir. Webber
 about the discovery of Fl Callado
 and it's extraordinary gold output
 would seem like a page from the
 Arabian Nights" if it had not been
 fortified by facts. In 1868 some Jamaica negroes hearing some
 stories about gold to be found on the big river on the South Ameri- can coast sailed over to the Orino- co, ascended it, and stopped near where some natives and Americans were "placering" They worked in- land and soon acquired as much information about placer diggings as the rest of the miners, and grad ually, when it became known to them that the formation was quartz, cut their way with matches through the mesquite and chapparal until they found the cropping of ledge prolific in gold. It was not more than forty feet long and from eigh- teen to twenty-four inches wide, but was so rich in sparkling gold that It assayed $2 to the pound. Much of this ore on the surface went up into the thousands, but was worked in a rude and imper- feet way. The Jamaicans divided | the territory among themselves into little companies, and when the extraordinary yield of their work went down to the traders on the river they called the source from which it came El Callado-the In that way the camp became known to the rest of the world.
 The unexampled prosperity of the negroes brought trouble not on- ,y on themselves but on the author ties; the Perfect of the district finally compelled them to sell out heir claims to number of Corsi- ,an traders several hundred miles on the river below. The Corscans were men of superior intelligence, put knew nothing about the mining business, and 1t cost them when hey took charge of the mine $200 !. ton to extract and work the ore, which in California or on the Com stock would not have cost more han $6 ton. Notwithstanding his and the fact that in 1860 '62 all ,f the machinery to work the mines ;ame from Mexico, operated by Irastras, the rough method-which literally means dragged around n misery"-the mines yielded enor- nously and up to 1870 produced '' the great bulk of which vas pure profit.
 The phenominal yield of the I nine in 1876 attracted the attention if the Rothschilds. The great finan. l iers sent the California expert, Smith, who from 1868to ( SIS had been superintendent of I he North Bloomfield to negotiate s or the purchase of the mine. c
 Mir. Smith offered on behalf of ' he Rothschilds, $2,OOO,OOO for the c nine. The offer was refused, be- T ause the owners believed they v ould fine another bonanza lower l. own. The same year the offer was t efused the mine turned out $3 ,000,- T % in gold. In 1878 MT. Smith, a

 the mine turned out S5,000,OOO one
 half of which was profit.
 It is said by gentlemen familia
 with mining operations that MT
 Smith made a report after that tt

 ing out, and no further negotiation:
 for the sale of the mine were at

 made third and successful at.
 tempt to purchase the property in
 1883, paying for it round $5,000,- 900. The mine up to that time had
 produced s1S,O0O,0OO. The Roths-
 childs incorporated the institution
 at @, 100000, and the stock was
 placed exclusively on the London
 Stock Exchange and the Paris
 Bourse. In thess intervening ten years the mine has produced ST. 100000. How much of that yield has been profit it is difficult to as- certain. but considering the fact that much improvement was made on the 5ld style of operating the mine and the accessibility of the ore, there necessarily accrued a large profit to the owners. Itwas not like delving below the earth's surface 2,5OO or 5000 feet like on the Com stock
 In the early days of mine so rich was the ore that the owners were compelled to resort to methods similar to those in vogue in the Natal diamond fields. It is esti. mated by MT. Webber that $33, ,0O0,- 900 wefe produced in the limited area above described, of which ST. 100000 were stolen either by the or native miners. They resorted to pretty much the same tricks as those of the native dig gers in the South African diamond fields. In portions of the quartz the gold was pure virgin and the lecomnosed quartz had merely to be broken away, and by a simple manual operation every one of the two or three hundred men employ sd could stow away two or three ounces of the precious metal about his person. In that manner mill ions were. carried away and given 70 the village and sriver traders for 'um, tobacco, and such other ar icles as are known to be desired on he borders of civilization. When he fact became known the super ntendent hit upon the expedient of 'recting a searching room near the mouth of the shaft, where every miner, whether a foreman or a ;ross-cut miner, had to be search d.
 Mining men in San Francisco ay that the product of the Com tock mines was between $70,000,- 100 and $SO,OOO,OOO. In that esti- nate they say that the proportion if gold and silver was 5 per cent. # the former and 45 per cent. of he latter. But in the case of El ,allado it was all gold, and in that expect exhibits the most remarka- 'le contrast to any mine known in ecorded history.
 The ore is a perfectly pure gold re carrying only one-half of one CT cent. sulphuret and not the Highest trace of silver, and consid- { ring the fact that in about thirty ears it produced more than $l,: OO,00O a year with the crudest lethods imaginable, it is regarded, J ith its net profits of more than alf the output, as the greatest mine I le world ever saw.
