ion are Utlanders and Engiishmen.
Not that we think the BOer court
would Intentionally give a decision
at variance with evidence; but in a
suit of such magnitude az this we
think that, i'm view Of the recent
strained relations of the Transvaal
Republic, the mining companies of
the United States and Australia will
accept with some reserve the recent
decision at Pretoria.
Moreover, there are certain histOri-
cal aspects of the case which would
make MS hesitate to believe that the
Transvaal Judgment will be repeated
in this and other countries. II this
delicate and highly scientific process
was elaborated before the year 1886,
it was years ahead of it's time, and
appeared before there was any
urgent demand for it. 1t is only In
comparatively recent years that the
attention and efforts Of the mining
world in general have been directed
to the working of very low grade
ores. In the earlier periods, prior to
1896, gold mining was carried on In
the rich alluvial deposit and in the
workings which lay comparatively
near the surface. The ''free gold"
apparatus-the pan, rocker, battery
plates, etc.-gave place to the var
ious chlorinating processes for work

TINE CASCADE TUNNEL.
Great Northern VIII Soon Eerin Work a
the Big TunaeI.

| The Independent a few days age
in special dispatch from st. Pau
announced that the Great Northern
was about to close contracts for
building a tunnel two and one-halI
miles long through the Cascade
range. The Pioneer Press in speak
ing of the eenterprise says:
| 1T was learned on good author
ity yesterday that the Great North
ern has completed preliminary ar
rangements for the construction of
the Cascade tunnel, one OF the
greatest engineering feats OF the kind
In railroad history. By the first of
the year a large force of men will
probably be at work, and the tunnel
should be completed and ready for
service early in 1898.
1.-The Cascade tunnel will be 2.49
miles long and will reduce the high
est elevation attained by the rail-
road from 4.O55 feet at the summit OF
the switchback to $3.50 feet at the
east portal at Tunnel City and to
$3.50 at the west portal at yelling
ton. The highest elevation under
which it will pass Is $3.50 feet. about
a mile from the west portal. u short
distance to the south and east OF
which is Skylight Lake. The tunnel
will run In n straight line from the
head of one canyon to that OF another
in a direction a few degrees south of
west, and will slope to the west at
the rate of 80 feet to the mile. 1t
will be 16 feet wide and % feet high,
being lined with brick or stone where
necessary. Much of the natural rock
will furnish its own lining, or rather
require none. The cost of the enter
prise Is estimated at $1,000. 900.
The present famous switchback
between Cascade on the east and
Wellington on the west In Washing
ton state, 2S5 miles west of Spokane,
between Spokane and Seattle, has
proved a most interesting point for
tourists and travellers, but the econ
omy of space and time is a greater
consideration to the Great Northern,
even when involving the expenditure
of $4,000, 600 I'm a tremendous and
hazardous project, than that Of a
unique, scenic attraction. The tun-
mel will reduce the distance 10 miles
and the time one hour.

employed large forces of laborers on

way and operating facilities gener-

All of this goes to prove that the

to be a buster and more aggressive

itself and its territory by making

Now many institutions have sprung up.
Every state supports one or more. The
education of the deaf from the infant
school to the present school is like
comet that flies rapidly. Look at the
bright star. Gallaudet college, for the
deaf. o! glorious Gallaudet college!
We are proud of thy brilliant educa-
ton. Ancients looked down on deaf
mutes as disgrace and treated them
badly. They were considered to be in
capable of instruction. But $50 years
ago the dawn of instruction frightened
their dark minds like a sun that rises.
If it had not been for Christianity, the
deaf would be still ignorant as were the
ancients.
Gallaudet accompanied Clerc, the deaf
mute teacher from France, over the At
lantic ocean, to aid him in establishing
the institution. Gallaudet adopted the
sign language and finger alphabet. The
sign language is a shining star which
guided him to find Clerc, as shepherds
who followed the guiding star to find the
babe, Jesus Christ
