The United States government has been
requested by the Chinese government to
take under its protection the Chinese re-

brought about by sealed note transmitted
to the Chinese minister in Washington by
United States Minister Baker in Guatemala
The note was signed by about 100 Chinese in
Guatemala, representing that they had no
one to look to for protection. AS China
had no diplomatic or treaty relations with
Guatemala Minister Yang Yu last August

Stock in Gold Mines.

Notwithstanding the fact that the prin-
cipal mining done in California is for gold,
there is little or no speculation in gold
mining shares. Our stock boards deal
mainly in silver mines. Very few gold
mines are listed there. An effort was
made not long ago to get the gold-mining
companies to list their mines and sell the
stock, but it was failure, very few re-
spending to the invitation OF the Board of
Brokers. The methods of stock-dealing
INDUCED in with silver mining have never
been successfully applied to gold mines.
For this reason, though there are many
hundred incorporated gold-mining COM
panies in California, their stock is never
quoted on the stock boards. What
ever sales are made take place
privately. The reason for this
is that our gold mines are run as
legitimate business operations and not for
stock-jobbing ventures. The men who invest
expect to make their money out of the
mines themselves, not out of the people
who buy the stock. The largest paving
properties in the State are owned bv pri
vate corporations or individuals, and there
are generally very few owners to each
claim. The main efforts are in the direc-

cutting work with number of men. Some
excellent specimens of turquoise are being
taken out that are OF superior quality.
The new railroad rates on ore from
Idaho to the Salt Lake smelters went into
effect on the 10th inst, The departure
from the old rate is quite a radical one.
AS an example, the rate from HALEY,
which was Sc, will be withdrawn, and the
old one of So 65 per ton, under which so
much hardship was pleaded, restored.
The awarding of the contract to work
the concentrates of the Bullion-Becl1 Com
pany. Utah, to the Philadelphia Refinery
and Smelling Company of Pueblo, gives
quite big plum" to the Colorado smelter.
The Sunshine Company of Camp Floyd
district, Utah, has let the contract for its
mill, which is to be completed in sixty
days. The plant will have crushing ca
pacity of 200 tons per day. but for the pres
ent. and until the mine is more fully
opened, the tank capacity will be but fifty
tons, this to be increased as rapidly as the
output from the mines will justify it.
There is new gold-mining camp, both
quartz and placer, near Cochiti, New
Mexico. The mines lie about twenty tive
miles from Cerrillos, thirty-tive from Santa
Fee and twenty from Wallace, and are COM
fortably reached from either point by
stage.

Placer Mining.

A good many men would go into the
mining regions OF California and work the
surface or placer mines if they knew ex-
actly where to go. OF course most of the
placer ground is pretty well worked out,
yet there are spots here and there in the
mining. counties where work is going on.
In some places the ground has been worked
over half dozen times, latterly mainly by
Chinese, who are good placer miners. The
main difficulty is that in these days most
of the ground fit for working is in the
hands of private owners, who object to
others working unless they pay royalty,
and this the ground will not always war
rant. Moreover many of those who want
to do such work are ignorant of mining or
have scant funds on which to get to the
mountains or foothills to try the expert
ment. Yet this summer some few men
ing counties to try their luck with rocker
or tom. 1t does not cost much to live
where men camp and do their own work,
yet some money is of course always neces-
sary, and tenderfeet miners are not always
successful. Another difficulty is these
men always want to go straight to the
small mining towns or camps, instead of
into out-of-the-way places. Close around
the camps of course it is probable any
ground worth having is already being
worked. In this connection the following
paragraph is of interest, from the Oroyille
butte County, Register: The benefits of
placer mining in small way are nowhere
better exempiified than at Cherokee. On
the old bottom at Cherokee Flat a number
OF men are working in a small way for
themselves. Reliable reports indicate that
their aggregate monthly output is between
$1,000 and $4,000, and this affords a COM
Portable living for a number of families,
and as it is all spent at home helps to in
crease the general prosperity.

"Back-Canners.o

The worst enemies many mining sections
have are among their own residents. They
pretend to know all about all its mines,
their history, product, probable future and
their value. Then if some enterprising
owner succeeds in getting investors inter-
ested enough to come and look at his
claim these 'back-cappers" get in their
work. Instead of bringing out the good
points of the properties they bring ont all
the bad ones and givea "black eye" to any
sale in which they can have no finger. If
a cyclone or an earthquake could be in
duced to select this class of people for
general destruction a great many more
mines could command capital with which
to operate. Even a camp with plenty
of good mines and prospects viii have
uphill work TO advance if it contains
few men of this kind. Any deal they
may be in on is all right, but those with
which they have nothing to do are sure TO
get the rough side of their tongue. OF
course stranger will be apt to listen to
an old resident. who tells him apparent
facts concerning the mines of his section,
and it is for this reason that men of this
kind can do SO much harm. Many min
ing sale has fallen through because of hints
or innuendoes from such people as this
Men about to invest in mining property
are timid at best and any cunningly de-
vised story adverse to the mine is apt to
find ready listener. No decent person
wants to see capitalists swindled with
worthless. claims of course; but 1t is usu-
ally those which have merit which are at
tackled by the blackmailers, back-cappers,
or hoodoos to be found in almost every
mining camp in the mining regions of the
West.

California Gold Mines.

1t is not at all improbable, as predicted
by those in a position to know, that we
will within q very few years have a genu-
inc gold-mining "boom" in California.
There are signs of it in the air now. Lon
DON Paris, Boston and other money CEN
tiers are excited over gold mines in South
Africa and Southwest Australia, and i'm
mense sums are being expended in those
countries for prospecting and develop
ment. This State has as good mines and
as many of them as either of these coun-
tries, but we have not the capital to open
them. 1t is estimated that there are per-
haps twice as many prospects" or unde-
veloped claims in California as there are
mines being worked on any scale; but
money is needed to make producing mines
out of such as shall prove worth anything
when developed. There is no way TO
prove their worth, however, except by
labor, tools and machinery If we had
here one-tenth the capital which has gone
into South Africa we could make proba bly,
better showing-at least as good one.
Those mines which are to-day paying best
in this State are those into which
capital has been placed for thorough
development New York is now catching
the fever which prevails in Europe, and
when it gets it thoroughly the money bags
will open and some OF the coin will rattle
ont in this direction. We have more kinds
of gold mines here than any other State
in the Union, some of them the richest
ones, and the largest auriferons area. No
other section of the world has such a
record of gold production as the State OF
California. And, moreover, we have plenty
OF the auriferous region still untouched
either by labor or capital. The labor we
can supply, but the capital must come
from elsewhere. Mines are being sought
after now by investors, but most of them
want properties already paying. What we
want is to have them open up some OF our
new claims, or reopen some of the old
| oitions which prevailed thirty years ago.
When our turn comes we can furnish
plenty of undeyeloDed mines
