MINES, MINING AND MILLING.

order that the ore body. if it exists at
all, should not escape him, Mr.. Bayliss
is driving a long level at the LOGO in
that southerly direction in which the
Montana ore bodies are known to dip.
Instead of continuing this work, DR..
Wigglesworth proposes that the shaft
at the 1900 foot level should be reso-
lutely deepened at a cost of $40 per
foot. The board, who are advised by
the best experts Of the day, think
otherwise, and the shareholders, having
to choose between the views of DR..
Wigglesworth and the phalanx of ex-
pert talent on the other side, had very
little hesitation in coming to decision,
the result being that the policy of the
board will be followed and not that
of the learned doctor. AT the same
time, the latter was perfectly fair and
courteous in his criticism, and this
recognition we are glad to make,
though we differ from him in his con-
clusions. 1t was pleasing, however, to
hear him say that information he has
direct from the spot is to the effect
that better managed mine than the
Montana scarcely exists. This is the
impression we have always had, and it
is pleasing to have it confirmed by an
energetic, though courteous, critic of
the board like DR.. Wigglesworth.'

USE OF MINING MAoH1NpRY.
Companies More Careful Now Than
Ever Before When Buying.

Companies More Careful Now Than
Ever Before When Buying.
While the gold-mining industry of the
United States IS in a more active and
prosperous condition at present than
ever before, says an old mining man,
IT cannot be said that the mining ma
chlnery business is keeping a proper
tonate pace. Of course, much larger
amounts of mining and milling machinery
are being made than formerly, since
tnere are SO many more producing mines,
but there is not an increase of machinery
IN proportion to the number of mines
being worked There is a very good
reason for this, however. Formerly al
most as soon as a ledge was struck or
at least as soon as it was purchased by
men with money, a stamp mill with full
equipment was ordered, with the eXpecta-
ton that 1t would shortly repay the in
vestment The proper development of the
mine was an after consideration In
these days all this has changed Men
start in with hand windlass for hoist
ing: When they get water they start
with a common Douglas pump. Then
horsepower is used for a while, followed
by small gasoline engine for hosting
requires that a steam engine, hoist and
pumps are put in. But all this is done
before any attempt is made to get ore
reduction machinery. Even then a Rem
lngton or Bryan prospecting mill is used
Tor while Then when it is finally
proved that they have a mine the owners
get MILL concentration etc, but usually
want the mine to pay for it. There is
very seldom any attempt to start out
the old-faShioned way, with fully
equipped milling plant. The old system
was the ruination OF many mining COM
peny, and one of the reasons that many
hundred mines in the state were aban-
doned The companies ran hopelessly in
debt before they had any ore reserves to
keep a mill running steadily. 1t is found
that a good many mines will not warrant
q special mill. and custom mills are re-
sorted to for crushing the ore. There are
now so many custom mills in the noun
tains that hundreds of mines depend
worked for years before it is decided to
give it a mill of its own. For these
reasons less milling machinery is manu-
featured than would be supposed, consid-
ering the rapid development of the min
ing regions of the state The new plan
is the best one for all except the mill
manufacturers

When one hears of so many mills to
be built every season it is a wonder that
no more of them are found at the end
of the year. But il is a common thing
as soon as a mine strikes any ore, 10
hear it announced that a mill IS TO De
built at once and designs are being
drawn for it An exchange says that
nine out of ten never get further than the
said designs Men who know anything
about mines do not build mills just be-
cause they strike a little ore. They
usually want some considerable develop
ment to prove its extent before spending
the money on q mill; and this extent
cannot be proven in a few weeks or
months, as a general thing. 1t is for this
reason that much fewer mills are built
than ara planned or spoken of. In al
most any camp that can be mentioned
there are fewer mills or reduction works
than would be supposed if the stories of
ore in sight are to be believed. A camp
with 30 well developed mines is in
luck IL il has as many as ten mills in
operation. though there are generally
about 50 spoken of or planned. These re-
ports of mills to be erected do more
harm than good if they are not built, for
people going to the camp after hearing
such reports are apt to be disappointed.
They wonder why, after all the talk,
there are no more mills and are inclined
to think that the miners have not such
strong belief in their properties as they
had been led to suppose, says the San
so much talk about intended reduction
works for a mine unless the owners have
really made up their minds to build at

MUCH MORE SERIOUS THAN CuBA's
TIfe Government Does Not Know
Who Leads the Insurrection, But
1t Is Evident That There Is IL Head
to 1t, for the Spaniards Are Not
Fighting Informal Bands.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The Sun cor
respondent in Madrid, writing under
cate of Oct 10, says:
The situation in the Philippine Is
lands is growing worse and worse.
General Blanco teIegraDhs:
THE rebels attacked our detachment
at Talysa. Lieutenant-Colonel Blanco
started to assist the government
troops, but could not force his way
through the enemy's line. He had two
officers and 16 privates killed and one
officer and u privates wounded When
I learned this [ sent two battaiions

Colonel Ortiz. The Talysa detachment

Blanco must have failed in this, Tor
he telegraDhed later:
1.-The occupation of Talysa by the
rebels compels me to move to the left
and prevent the enemy's advance to-
ward Lipa. For Batangas alone L
need two regiments at least.
This news spread like wildfire. Con-
fusing thought it was, the public real
lied that a disaster had occurred. IN
an interview with the editor of FL
impartial the minister of war said that
the people here were responsible for
Spanish reverses in the Philippine Is
lands. Impatient clamor had preclpl-
tated military operations before the
arrival of the peninsula reinforcements.
1.-THE government" he added, does not
know yet who leads the instruction,
but from what is going on we must
infer that there is a head to direct all
this, for we are not fighting informal
bands.
The people here believed that the
mere presence of Spanish troops in the
Philippine Islands would cause the in
surgents to surrender. The energetic
and determined resistance of the is
landers was therefore a surprise to all,
and passing from one extreme to the
other everybody is now convinced that
Spain has to face in this far-on quar-
ter a war as serious as that in Cuba.
The insurgents are masters in the
province of Cavite, outside of the
inner city. They still hold the con-
vent All that has been said of. the
losses inflicted upon them by the gov

adds is false.

Electricity for Power.

San Francisco Examiner: In many of
the mining sections of this state the cost
Of wood for fuel is increasing to an ex-
tent which very materially increases the
expenses of milling operations-so much
so in fact, as to prevent the working Of
low grade ores, out of which a profit is
made when fuel IS cheaper. OF course
there is plenty of wood in the mountain
ranges, but around many of the camps
the fuel has been exhausted for a radius
of many miles. Hauling ii a long dis
lance naturally makes the cost at the
mill much higher than where 1t is OBJ
tanned close at hand. In MaripoSa- county
for instance, where the price of wood
has been advanced, the MERGED, Whitlock

waiting for electric power to be fur
nished. In most of the camps this Will
doubtless be the power used eventually,
as the mountain streams will furnish a
source to generate it. In several instances
lately, however, where companies have
started to furnish electric power for
camps or districts 1t has been FOUND that
their water supply is insufficient to do the
the work. and much less electric power
is derived than was expected. This is due
doubtless to faulty calculations IN the
first instance. installations of this kind
need experts to plan and execute. Be
cause a man has the ability 10 organize
a company and obtain money to inaugur-

follows that he is the one TO try the ma
chinery and put It in. There are all
sorts OF conditions TO be considered, and
cnly skilled and experienced electrical
engineers should be employed on this
part of the work. Reading few dozen
catalogues or books is not apt to give
anyone the requisite knowledge in this
direction. Mistakes Of all kinds are apt
to be made and primarily, the great
one of overestimating the ultimate
amount of electric power to be derived
from any given amount and fall of water.
Several Instances might be cited in this

.NoTHER ACT OF PIRACY.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s. United
States Consul General Burke, at Tan
giers, Morocco, reports to the state de-
partment in his dispatch of the 18th
ult. that another act of piracy was
committed by the Moors off the Riffin
coast on the Sth of October last. A
French sailing vessel was attacked by
about 100 Riffians in small boats about
20 miles off Cape Couch Cape Baba-
zun.)
AS soon as the attack became known
on shore, the Spanish governor of ALI
hucamas and some of the Spanish
colony, at once set out in the little
steamer Savilla to render aid to the
French vessel. They arrived in time
to capture the crew of pirates in boats.
which were on the point of pushing off
for the shore with the prisoners and
plumber. The Spaniards boarded the
French vessel, which was in possession
of the pirates, and after severe strug-
gle, succeeded in rescuing the captain
and a number of the crew. The Span
iards are reported to have had one
man killed and four or five seriously
wounded. Some of the wounded have
since been reported as having died.
1t is also reported that some of the
crew of the French vessel have died
from their wounds.

A REVEREND CRANK.
He Says Neither He Nor His Congre-
CATION Can Honestly Support Tn..
Constitution OF the United States.

BOSTON, Nov. 3-In a public ad-
dress in his church last night, Rev. J.
NJ. Foster of the Second Reformed
Presbyterian church declared that he
and all loyal members in his denomin-
alton were disfranchised, because both
Republican and Democratic platforms
stand on the constitution of the United
States and that instrument represents
reputation of the royal claims of Je-
sus Christ, the king of kings.
Reformed Presbyterians deny them
selves political privileges, not from mo-
tives of unpatriotic disloyalty TO the
country, but from sentiments of patri-
otto loyalty to Christ. We cannot swear
to support the constitution, because il
does not acknowledge Almighty God as
the source of authority, the Lord Jesus
Christ as king of nations, and the bible
as the foundation of all law.
The presidents oath omits the name
of God and an appeal to God is the
very essence of the oath. Refusing to
swear to support the constitution is the
only way Christian citizens can free
themselves from a responsibility of
their. evils. Refusing to swear to sun
port the constitution is the best and
only remedy for this evil

ROBBERS WHO SHOULD SEEK SOME

holdup at Alvarado, were learned 1t
was a comedy of errors. Nothing was
secured by the would-be robbers, either
from the mail, express or passengers.
The robbers, three in number, tagged
the train about a mile south of Alvar-
ado. When it stopped, they made the
train porter cut the baggage, mail and
express cars from the rest of the gain.
These were moved forward a little, and
then the robbers tried to force the ex-
press messenger to open his car. He
refused. Then the engineer was or
dered to run his train forward far
enough to get good start back into
the standing cars at full speed and thus
smash in the express car, so it could be
entered.
"All right" said the engineer. But
as me and my fireman will Jump as
soon as we get her under good speed.
backing, you had better go back to the
coaches and wait until the smash
comes. If you don't you stand a good
chance of being killed"
They did not want to be killed. Thev
wanted TO get the money in the express
car. They took the engineers advice
and waited. The engineer pulled ahead
to get his distance, forgot to stop and
went on ahead until he got to Gran
vile.
Telegrams were sent out for aid in
capturing the ROBBERS, but these worthless
had become alarmed and taken to the
brush. Afterwards the engine was
backed down and the train proceeded
on its journey with about one hours
delay.

There was nothing doing in the min
ing line yesterday; in fact it was an
anxious day il mining circles, and
nothing was talked of but the election
and the probable results, and in nearly
every mining Office in the city there
were gathered a score or more OF men
anxiously awaiting the returns
AS a general thing the miners IN
nearly all of the camps took time 10
vote. and in nearly every instance they
rolled up a great majority for Bryan
and for the Democratic nominees.
In this city there was no activity,
whatever. as far as mining talk was
concerned. and in the hotel Hobbies and
on the streets the sole theme OF con-
versation was the election, and al
though dispatches during the day were
not as encouraging as hoped for. Bryan
supporters kept up heart until the very
end.
There was no call at the mining ex-
change. and the transactions on the
floor today will be watched with inter
est and it IS doubtful if the business
will amount to much, if anything at all
is done.
The latest news from the different
camps is of the most encouraging ma
ture, and especially so in the silver
lead camps, where a number Of good
strikes have been made of late, but
at this writing it is hard to tell whether
or not, from a political point of view
good silver properties are worth hay
ing, or whether they are virtually
--orthless. In the gold camps the
situation is different, as come what
may, such camps are always staple, as
one might saw.
y 1t wiH.take a few days to get down
to regular business again, as far as
activity in mining is concerned, but it
is believed that whatever may be the
results of the election that the MIN
ine camns of the state and of the west
Will keep to the front, and that the
industry will still prove to be the main
stay and support of this intermountain
country

QUEER BETS.
They Include Pulling of Teeth and
Cutting of Hair and WhisIxers.

LONDON, Nov. SIT is estimated
that $500, 900 in bets has been placed in
London on the result of the election in
the United States. Colonel Wilson of
Chicago made a wager of $1,000 even
today that Mckinley would be elected.
The bet was taken by F. w. Fulton, a
Chicago Bryanite. Besides the ordin-
airy election bets, there has been con-
siderable freak betting. General Nor
gan, a Brooklyn silverite, made a bet
on which he engaged in the event of
Bryan's defeat to have all his teeth
drawn. In the event of McKinley's de-
feat, his opponents, four in number
agree to have their boards and NOUS
taches shaved off. The parties to the
bet are under a penalty of $500 each in
case of failure to fulfil the terms of the
bet. Articles have been signed and
witnessed to that effect
