EIectricitx 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 it 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
and other mines find it impossible to mill
their ores at a profit and are anxiously
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
source to generate il. 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 caiculations s, IN me
first instance. installations OF this kind
need experts to plan and execute. Be
cause a man has the ability to organize
a company and obtain money to inaugur-
ate an eiectric plant, it by nc means
follows that he is the one to try the ma
cainery and put it in. There are all
sorts Of conditions TO be considered, and
only 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 Xxi kinds are r apt
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
state where considerable expense has
been entailed in increasing. the water
supply after the plant has been sput in
operation. People buying stock under
such conditions ought to be sure that
Dloyed, or else refuse to make the in
vestment. 1t is all very well to tax tax
Of practical being better than sclenunc
knowledge, but on electrical work it
needs a combination of both. Because
a man can wire a building or run
DYNAMO it does not follow that he can
properly plan and install an electric
power plant. 1t takes an educated cleo
trical engineer to do il in a satisfactory

gntion Can Honestly support the
Constitution of the United States.

BOSTON, Nov. BIN 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

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The Sun cor
respondent in Madrid, writing under
date of Oct. 10, says:
The situation in the Philippine Is
lands is growing worse and worse
General Blanco telegraDhs:
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 1 sent two battalions
under Colonel Poso and Lieutenant
Colonel Ortiz. The Talysa detachment
tried to break through the enemy, but
failed. 1 am trying to prevent the
enemy from invading Batangas."
Blanco must have failed in this, for
he telegraphed 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

the people here were responsible for
Spanish reverses in the Philippine Is
lands. Impatient clamor had precipi-
tated military operations before the
arrival of the peninsula achievements.

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-off quar-
ter a war as serious as thatSin Cuba.
The insurgents are masters in the
province of Cavite, outside of the
inner city. They still hold the con-

losses inflicted upon them by the gov

adds, is false.

There was nothing doing in the min
ing line yesterday: in fact it was an
anxious day in 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-
yersation 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
viii amount to much, if anything at all
is done.
carnps is of the most encouraging ma
ture, and especially so in the silver
lead camps, where 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
worthless. In the gold camps the
situation is different, as come what
may, such camps are always staple, as
one might saw.
1t will take a few days to get down
to regular business again, as far as
activity in mining is concerned, but 1t
is believed that whatever may be the
results of the election that the min
ing camps of the state and OF the west
viii keep to the front, and that the
industry will still prove to be the main
stay and support of this intermountain
conntrX.

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,
II cannot De said that the mining ma
cnlnery business is keeping a proper
Tomato pace. OF course much larger
amounts of mining and milling machinery
are being made than formerly, since
there 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 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, 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 a 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
and pumping. 1t is only when necessity
requires that 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
ington or Bryan prospecting mill is used
for a. while. Then when it is finally
proved that they have mine the owners
SSl q lIlill, COucShtIdlOT, elc., out usually
want the mine to pay for it. There is
very seldom any attempt to start out
the old-fashioned way, with a fully
equipped milling plant The old system
was the ruination of many mining COM
pany, 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 mill running steadily. 1t is found
that a good many mines will not warrant
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-
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

order that the ore body, if it exists at
all, should not escape him, Mr. Bayliss
is driving a long level at the 1000 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 e2O 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 a 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."

ing Below the 1000.
The 10 stamps of the Drum Lummon
mine at Marysville will be silenced
after next Saturday. says the Inter
Mountain, of Butte, Mont. The 80
stamp mill closed down yesterday and
the other 60 stamps will close down
Saturday. A force of about rs men will
be retained at the mines to thoroughly
prospect them. The following extract
from the Mining World and Engineer
ing Record of London, dated OCT: IL
in this connection will be found OF in
terest:
Somewhat painful interest was given
TO the Montana meeting on Wednesday
by the sudden indisposition OF Mr..
Rawlinson 7. Bayliss, who was present
as usual to address il. He has spent
the greater part of the last 10 or u
years of his life at the extreme altl-
tude at which the Montana company's
nronertv is placed and it is TO be
feared that his health has suffered in
consequence. Mr.. Bayliss has never
referred to this himself, but the sug-
eestion is not incompatible with such
a sudden attack of giddiness and faint
ness as that which for about half an
hour completely Frustrated him on
Wednesday last. Mr.. BayliSS VIII be
may have suffered In diScharging his
duty to the company, but his friends
may do it for him. We hope we may
rank ourselves amongst the number or
them, seeing that we have consistently
supported his policy from the time he
first took charge of the mines. Look
ing back upon those u years, the
shareholders have had substantial
proofs of the prosperity the manage
ment of Mr.. BayliSS has brought them,
and if at the moment the mine is under
a-cloud, it bids fair TO emerge from it
for reasons given not merely by Mr..
Bayliss, but by Mr.. Crowther and Mr.
PhillpotJs, who presided. The meeting
was protracted, and reminded one
somewhat of those long discussions
that used to take place about the time
when the present board brought the
company out of the state of collapse
in which their predecessors left Ii. But
the point at issue, as Mr.. Crowther
very aptly put il, was this-shan we
sink below the 1000 foot level or shall
we not? DR.. Wigglesworth, a medical
gentleman, residing in the north, is of
opinion that this should be done, whilst
those who think otherwise are experts
like Mr.. John Darlington, Professor
CLAYTON Mr.. Nelson, DR.. Rossiter Ray
mond, Mr.. BayliSS and a number of
other gentlemen of scarcely lesser
reputation. Now, upon a question of
medicine, as Mr.. Crowther said. the
superior knowledge of DR.. Wiggles-
worth would be freely accepted and
acted upon, but on a question Of min
ing he is, to say the least. not entitled
to speak with so much weight. Indeed,
while the meeting was progressing, the
thought occurred TO us how much more
useful DR.. Wigglesworth would have
been in fninistering to the wants of
Mr. Bayliss, Frustrated as he was in
the ante-room, than in criticising min
ing development in the presence of
gentlemen whose lives have been de-
voted to its study. The fact of the
matter is that from the 600 level to the
/ 500 the Montana company has passed
through a barren zone and now, in

During the past week a discovery Of
more than ordinary Importance has been
Solomon ground. a discovery which, if it
proves as good as the present showing
now seems to Indicate, Will be the most
important of anything unearthed in the
famouslv rich district for some years,
says the Clancy, Montana, Miner. The
discovery was made by e. Redding who
accidently found some rich float while
walking along the ground toward his
home from the present workings of the
King Solomon. Naturally he concluded
that the float came from a vein in the
Vicinity. and as it did not exactly tally
with the outcrop on the King Solomon
lode he procured a pick and shovel and
rocks. and in about half an hour was
fortunate enough to strike the vein, dis
closing about Is inches of between 800
and 400 ounce ore. The vein is an en-
tirely distinct and separate one from the
King Solomon proper, and is about 40
feet south of the Solomon shaft. Several
sacks of the rich ore have already been
taken out of the discovery at a depth of
less than two feet, and the vein as eX-
posed is bromide, chloride and black sui
Dhuret in character. In the old work
ings on the King Solomon ground there
is now a fine showing of ore in the face
of the drift. The mine is being operated

ARMENIAN SUFFERERS.
A Very Earnest Discussion About
Them in the Chamber of Deputies.

Very Earnest Discussion About
Them in the Chamber of Deputies.
PARIS, Nov. 3.-In the chamber of
deputies, NJ. Denys, deputy for Cochin
China, interpellated the government,
demanding to know the action France
was taking in defense of Armenlans.
Continuing his remarks, he asked what
the powers had done since 1880 in de-
Tense of race whose sufferingS are
without a parallel in history. NJ. Denys
then recapitulated the horrors OF the
massacres in Asia Minor and Constan
tinople, during the recital of which the
chamber was greatly agitated. The
deputy for Cochin China declared that
it was the duty of France to interfere
in the name of humanity to prevent the
occurrence of further massacres. IN
order to effect this, he said, it would
be necessary to make a clean sweep of
this corner of Europe and to guarantee
protection not only to Christians but to
Turks as WELL The whole of civilized
Europe was interested in the purifica-
ton Of Turkey, and France had right
10 convoke her allies and all Europe to
undertake the task.
Count Albert de Nun followed NJ.
DenyS in speech, in which he de-
clared that sadder even than the Ar
menian atrocities was the inertia with
Frances he said ought to do for
Armenia as well as for Crete, and take
the initiative in a concert to assure
the security of the Armenians."
NJ. De La Foss and M. Hubbard ap-
proved and emphasized the remarks of
Count De Nun, and NJ. Hanotaux min
lister of foreign affairs, followed. NJ.
HanotauX said that Armenian events
would not have given rise to such
solicitude if contact with Europe had
not imbued certain Armenians with a
desire for independence.
The excuses of the Ottoman govern
ment, he said had furnished legitimate
motives for complaint, and when the
question assumed an aspect of grave
Importance England understood the
danger of acting alone.
The powers, he said, were convinced
of the necessity of their solid union,
but there must be no isolated action,
and no interference with the integrity
of the empire.
Among the fertile results of the re-
cent visit of the emperor of Russia to
Paris, NJ Hanotaux said may be men
toned a precise exchange of views in
community of ideas which exist in
united Europe, who gives the sultan TO
understand the necessity Of his assur-
ing the safety of all his subjects, of
whatever race. Bpt violence will not
