Tailings as a Nuisance.

The tailings or debris from the gravel
mines in the California mountains, by in
turing farming lands and streams, brought
about long-eontinued and expensive liti-
CATION and much hard feeling between
mountain and valley men. So we know
what "debris question" is in California.
Now they are about to have something of
the same sort in South Africa, where the
best method of preventing damage by
tailings is becoming daily of greater i'm
portance. Last year they treated out
there over 100000 tons OF tailings and
crushed over 2,00O, 900 tons more of au-
riferous gravel into tailings. This is for
only one year, and the stuff has been &C
cumulating for years.

Mine Promoters.

good many miners are apt to rail at
promoters as middlemen who get the
largest profit and who hurt the mining
industry. But as there is difference be-
tween a prospectof and q miner, so is
there one between miner and a promoter.
The prospector finds the claim, the miner
works it and the promoter sells it to men
who equip it with machinery and give en-
ployment TO miners. Mining camps which
attract good and honest promoters are apt
to come to the front much faster than
those without them. The promoter hunts
up the mine. finds out the facts about it,
gets its reports and maps, and then goes to
the centers of capital to get the proper men
to take hold of it. The miner himself
does not know how to do this part of the
business, and it takes a great deal harder
work to lind men to buy mines than it
does TO find mines to sell. The promoter
has his place in the mining industry and
serves useful purpose by getting the
miner money for his claim. There are hun
dreds of miners all over the country hav-
ing claims for sale, but few of them know
how to go about it. Those who come
to the cities seldom sell their claims
except through the intervention OF third
parties who bring seller and buyer to-
gether. Only these who have tried it
know how hard it is to bring to success
tul conclusion the sale of q mine at high
figure. It'takes hard work, diligence and
certain amount of business knowledge
which the miner commonly lacks. few
good enterprlsing promo ters can drive
away hard times from a mining camp, by
bringing in the necessary capital TO dew
elop the mines, put up mills or smelters,
build roads and otherwise inaugurate an
era of prosperity

Southern California Mines.

The very best of news comes from the
Alturna mine in the Morongo district The
big ten-stamp mill is nearly ready for
work, and the miners are bringing to the
surface some very fine rock. many speci-
mems of which go we'll up in the thousands.
1t will not be many days before large ship
ments of bullion will be sent out.

and other Inconvenience to the public
and serious damage to neighboring ma
chinery. The State Engineer of the South
African Republic says in his official report
tn at should the miners fail to take any
steps in the matter it will sooner or later
become necessary for the Government to
egislate on the subject, in order to pre-
vent damage through the heaps of tailings
which are daily increasing in size. Plant
ing the old heaps is considered the best
means of protecting the tailings from
the effects of the winds, but then they
want to work the tailings over by the
cyanide process. Apart from this there
would appear to be only two ways left for
getting rid of the nuisance, namely. either
to carry them back into the mine or to
cart them away from the neighborhood of
towns and dwellings. 1t is thought that
dumping back into the mine viii be the
cheapest. Out of these tailings in 1894 the
people got about $4,000, 900, or about 81
per cent of the gold production, and the
owners are making from two to three mill
lion tons more every year. Such a vast
accumulation of sand within limited
area, where winds prevail, is apt to cause
trouble. Perhaps some enterprising indi-
vldual out there may start an anti-debrIs
association, and try and put stop to min
ing, which makes tallings, altogether.

Tn the Pinon District the Mesa DOLORES

In the Pinon District the Mesa Dolores
is running out some very fine rock, much
to the encouragement of the owners, and
the mine is only about three-quarters of a
mile from the famous Desert Queen. 1t is
said to be an extension. The rock brought
in last from the Mesa Dolores is fairly
bristlin9 with gold. The Prince Albert,
located in the same district and owned by
the Bledsoe Brothers, bids fair to rival the
best of them. It is about $50 feet from
the Desert Queen. and the ore taken from
a depth of thirty feet is full of gold. One
ASSAY went over $500 in gold to the ton.
Work is being pushed rapidly ahead, as
the owners are quite anxious to see what
they have got
The Pinon district is overrun with Dem
yer mining men. The mines in and about
Trugman's mill are attracting great atten-
ton, as there are piles and piles of low
grade ore. But the difficulty is in milling,
on account of the scarcity of water, as the
latter has to be piped from Stubby Springs,
some miles distant, or else branch rail-
road must be run in from fndio and the
ore shipped out.
The Rose mine, in the Morongo mining
district, is coming to the front in a manner
that is surprising and the big mill is doing
fine work. There are now ready for ship
ment ten tons of high-grade ore.

A Model School Of Industrial Art,

The Pennsylvania Museum and
School of Industrial Art, Philadelphia,
is an institution entitled to the highest
commendation for the excellent work
that it is doing toward the proper ad-
vancement of American industries
In not a few of its features, it stands
as a model for imitation Ia other
industrial centres of the country.
Special courses are provided for teach
ing designing for all varieties OF textile
fabrics, and its practical application
to loom work. AS complete course
in its theoretical and practical utility
we do not hesitate to say 1t is without
an equal in America. A school oI
this kind is of the highest importance
to the manufacturing community, anc
there should be no reason or impedi
ment against its being duplicated II
Boston, and improved upon, II posi-
BILE. Young men of New England
should not feel obliged, as is now th'
case, to go to Philadelphia to learl
the art of textile fabrication, bu

instruction under competent teacher
