A TIN MINE IN PERAK.
Primitive Methods That Seem Sufficient

Primitive Methods That Seem Sufficient
for the Purpose.
We came to the edge Of the mine, OF
paddock, as it is called, which, after all
is nothing but broad open pit with
sloping sides and perhaps some 40 or so
feet in depth; a poor thing in the eyes Of
anyone expecting shafts and machinery
and the elaboration of western meth
DDS, but sufficient for its purpose, as
Chinese methods are apt to be, says
Macmillan's Magazine.
Three hundred men clad in loose blue
coats and drawers aud plated sun hats
three feet across are digging up the pay
dirt at the bottom Of the pit with great
hoes and putting it on fiat wicker bas,
kets; others catch up the baskets,
sling one at each end Of yoke and,
balancing the load across the shoulder,
they carry them up to the level ground
vibrating in time with their steps, by
narrow tree trunks, notched with foot
holes, which are placed at short inter
walls athwart the sloping sides of the
pit.
Having gained the higher level, they
throw down their burdens by the wash
boxes and descend by other bridges at
steady trot in silent, orderly and un-
broken stream. The men OF the wash
boxes, which are long, sloping troughs
of wood. throw in the dirt and by rals-
ing it back and back under nicely reg
ulated flow of water they separate the
black tin sand from the spoil and shovel
1t into tubs ready for the smelling
house, while the spoil is flung down the
slope of the hither side Of the paddock.

MOUNT RoRAIMA.
Strangest Freak of Mountain Building L
tho World.

Strangest Freak Of Mountain Building In
tho World.
Among the many objects of interest
that have been brought to light by the
Anglo-Venezuelan dispute there is per-,
haps none that claims SO much atten-
ton from the scientific world as the So
called mountain Of Roraima. Situated
in the southwestern corner Of Sir Rob-;
ert Schomburgks alleged boundary be-
tween Guiana and Venezuela, this WON
derful geographical phenomenon, al
though long known, has elected but
little interest. In point of fact, how
ever, it Is veritable scientific sphinx.
This stupendous mountain, or isolated
tableland, which the native Indians call
Roraima, or the mysterious" rises
high in solitary grandeur above the SUR
rounding mountain system, Its perpen-
dicular rocky sides rendering it abso-
lutely inaccessible to the foot of man or
beast.
Growing this impregnable fortress
of nature is a tract of territory esti-
mated to contain upward Of 14O square
miles. Unlike other inaccessible noun
tain SUBMITS of the world, this ele-i
waited region is no mere wilderness of
snow-capped ridges. On the contrary,
all the indications, including the posi-
tive evidence of the telescope, point to,
its being covered with forests, inter-.
sected with rivers fed from lakes, and,
to its possessing climate that mus,
in the nature of things, be temperate
that is, neither wintry, despite its altl-i
tude, nor tropical, despite Its equatorial,
position.

TRADE REVIEW.
Continued Uncertainty of Financial Future
Cause Depression

New York, July 1S.--R. G. Dun & Co.
in their weekly review of trade say:
"Dsapproval of the action at the Chi
cago convention has had some influence in
the markets the past week, but far more
important factor has been the feeling that
the financial future is still uncertain. This
acute attack of doubt coming at time
when business Is for other reasons serious
ly depressed, has made the week unusual
" gloomy in speculative circles. The av-
erage price for GO active railroad stocks
has declined from $47.22 to $4476 per share,
and the average of trust stocks from $47.3o
to Sf44S per share.
1.-THE wheat market has been remarkably
well supported in spite of a very favorable
report by the government, and prices are
shade higher than a week ago, without
any discoverable reason connected with
American supply or demand. Cotton has
fallen about half a cent In options and one
quarter In spot prices, because the men
who were sure there would be cotton fam
Inc in July and have been holding large
quantities of cotton In expectation of higher
prices have changed their minds. The clos
Ing of about three-quarters of the south
ern mills in producing capacity and about
half of the northern mills for part of the
time until the new crop comes forward
Will help to prevent disastrous decline in
prices of goods. but If accounts of con-
dition are not misleading and the general
RAINS III texas nave nelpeQ lne crop as
much as many believe the yield is likely
to be more than 100000 bales. The de-
crease In consumption here is not, as yet.
effective in helping the prices of cotton
goods. which are still selling at about the
lowest quotations ever made.
The wooden manufacture Is waiting, and
AS new orders are exceedingly slow the
sales OF wool at the three chief markets
were for the week only 2.255,00O pounds,
transactions at Boston being reported the
lowest ever known at that market. The
average of iron and steel prices is the
lowest since year ago The manufacture
of boots and shoes is weakening under the
effort to secure an advance in price, al
though most of the works have orders for

light, and nearly all the shops would have
to close If dependent on new orders.
