damage is very great. AT day lightning
started fire in the telephone exchange
building, corner of Illinois and Ohio

burned out, resulting in extensive loss.
Several other fires were started by the
Storm, but were extiDguished before
material loss was sustained. The rain

OUR FOREIGN MAIL SERVICE.
The British are Growing and Refuse
to Cooperate in Our New Service.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 4.-Second
Assistant Postmaster General Neill has
returned to his desk after a voyage to
Europe on the new steamship st. Louis,
which he pronounces to be fine vessel
in every respect, and well fitted for the
mails.
1.-THE British are growing a little"
said he, because we are giving boun-
ties to our own ships instead of paying
them to the fastest vessels which happen
to be ready at any given time. They
will not send any mail by our subsidized
steamers unless it is especially directed
to go by them. / conferred with the
postal authorities in England in regard
to the sea postal clerk service. We now
send clerks on the steamers who sort mails
coming over to this country. / wanted the
British to divide this expense with us,
and have the mails going to them, also
sorted at sea- They would not agree,
however Their force in the London of
fee is twice rs great as ours in New
York, and they can clear up any mail in
a hurry France probably will join with
us soon, however, for a service from
Hayre. Nowadays most of her mail goes
va England The only way
in which the foreign system
is in a7y way superior to
ours is in their pneumatic service This
is part of the telegraph and not the mail
service and the rates are very nearly as
high as our telegraph rates. In every
other way we equal or surpass the for
eigners in our mail service, although
they are trained to it as life work,
and have twice the money we have.
You see they have no trolley lines,
and all the work done so rapidly for US
by these cars is done for them by slow
wagons OF not at all. This gives us a
great advantage. / found that they
have high opinion of our mail service
abroad, and that they were axious for
hints about it"

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept 4 There is
considerable discussion in shipping cir
Giles as to whether or not the steamship
Laurada, Captain Hughes, which passed
to sea at midnight Wednesday on voy-
age to Port Morant, Jamaica, is a fill
buster or not. While her agents deny
that she has on board any materials or
ammunition for the Cuban insurgents, it
is the general belief along the wharves
that she has. Capt. Hughes ridiculed
the report, and said if there were any
such goods on board his vessel it was un-
known to him.

money enough to go and come with and
try the experiment, but notwithstanding
that his going on such an expedition has
surprised his many friends. The fact is,
however, if many others with little or moth
ing to do in these dull times would strike
cut for the mining regions and go to work
it would be a good thing. 1t would add to
the producers and the product would lessen
the number on the community who are
either idle altogether or making bare
living.
An adventurous man can always make a
living in the mining regions one way or
another, and there he has a chance for
making good stake" which he never
will have working on a salary or for wages
in crowded city. Hundreds and hun
dreds of young men with no families to
support could do better than they are by
seeking new fields where mining work is
going on. In the case of the individual
referred to, though he had no mining ex
There are plenty of men here with knowl-
edge of mining to be had as companions
for such a trip. 1t is not by any means
necessary to go so far off as Alaska, how
ever, for there are fields for prospectors in
our own State in all the counties in the
gold belt. Some of our oldest counties
have of late been showing up the greatest
mum Der of new mines because they are be-
ing more vigorously prospected than ever
before. If our idle young men congregated
in the cities would strike out for them
selves into the mining regions they would
be much better off and have much less
competition for employment than here.

Extravagant Notions of Value.

A gentleman who has just made trip
among the Arizona mining districts says
there are numbers of claims and there
would be little difficulty in getting the
necessary capital for development pur-
poses if the owners did not hold them at
such extravagant figures. With a little
more modesty in this direction the mining
industry of Arizona would receive an i'm
petus that would enrich the Territory to
an almost inconceivable degree.
The same complaint will fit almost any
of the mining States and Territories. As
soon as a purchaser is in sight the owner
goes out of sight-in price. Men will not
pay mine prices for prospects if they know
anything. and they usually do when they
are buying mining property. The ten
dency also to exaggerate values of devel-
oped properties prevents purchasers from
ever looking at local mines, and it is sell
dom any one contradicts any highly col
ored statements publicly made. A refresh
ing instance to the contrary, however,
occurred last week, when J. r. Farrell took
an Oregon paper to task for overestimating
the value of mine. The papers state
ment was that while the mining property
in question brought only $4,000 at Sheriff s
sale it was reported to be worth $500, 900.
Mr. Farrell eXplodeS the statement in this
neat but convincing way:
Before any reduction of ores can be I'M
dertaken on this property it will be neces-
sary to tear down the mill, freight it up
the big mountain and rebuild it in a place
at once secure from snowslides and Access
sible to the mines, and further to arrange
an expensive plant to transmit power,
either by electricity or compressed air,
from Pine Greek to the mill. The old ore
bodies in one claim are almost exhausted
and practically new mine must be opened
Ia supply the mill with ore, the chances
being taken to find such body of ore. The
lowest estimate made of this necessary ex-
pense has been $4,000. An average of all
ASSAYS at the mine from the time work
commenced until closed down gave less
than 81 per ton. During the last run the
mill car samples, assayed daily for five
months, averaged Sc per ton. By the ut
most economy working expenses are a lit
tie over 81 per ton. This at best leaves
only 81 per ton margin, and to get back
the $4,000 necessary preliminary expense
would require continuous run of 25,000
tons of ore. That quantity of ore would
completely fill vein 4 feet wide, 500 feet
long and 200 feet deep. Such a body of
ore is certainly not opened in these mines.
To realize the $500,0O given as reputed
value the ore body would have to be feet
wide, 500 feet long and 1000 feet deep. No
such ore body has ever been opened in pay
ore in Oregon"

Eel Dorado County.

Thomas o. Hardy is opening his gravel
claim on Weaver Hill, says the Placerville
Democrat. The old mine in early days
yielded large amount of gold, and as
there is considerable new ground remain
ing there is reason to believe that, like
many others of its kind in the county now
being resuscitated, it will prove better than
ever.
A company has been organized to thor
oughly prospect the Blue Gouge lead near
Sly Park. E. Bind, the superintendent
has great confidence in this lead, which is
of a low grade and of immense body.
There are already two tunnels tapping the
ledge down to the 200 level, and third
surveys for which are now being made, is
intended to tap the lead at a depth of 500
feet. With an ore body 100 feet wide and
500 feet deep, with backs inexhaustible,
who wouldn't think they had the world by
the breeches?

Returns of Gold Product.

If the miners throughout the State would
take the very little trouble to respond to the
inquiries as to their gold and silver prod
ucts sent out by the United States Mint,
California would have very much higher
standing in the Government reports. The
report in precious metals, issued by the
Director of the Mint. is the only publica-
ton on which a record is kept of compare
tive yields of counties and States. People
seeking information on this subject find it
only in these reports, as no other official
statistics are compiled and kept. Circulars
are sent to every mine-owner, and they are
assured that if desired the return will be
kept confidential and only used as the
aggregates in the respective counties Yet
not more than half of those addressed an
swer properly, if at all. The larger COM
panies particularly are reticent. There is
no reason at all for this, but on the con-
trary, reason for answering the inquiries
California has, since the discovery of
gold within its borders, held first rank
among the gold-producing States. Colo
RADIO is creeping up rapidly, however, and
while California is increasing its YIELD I'M
less the companies give their returns to the
mint authorities, it will not so appear in
the reports. In Colorado they like to adj
yertise their mines. In this State they
like to secrete all information. Nevada
County has long held the lead as the best
gold-producer in California, but this year
will probably have to give place to Gala
veras County, mainly because the Nevada
County miners do not seem to want the
world to know what they are doing, and
fail to respond to mint inquiries. If their
business was made public it would be diff
ferent, but, as stated, when requested, the
returns are considered confidential. By
reason of the failure of so many to make
returns to the inquiries of the mint, Cali
fornia will not show the increase of gold
product which has been anticipated. There
is yet time, however, for miners to respond,
if they only will
