favorite Of Swift, and her sprightly

Swift's biographers, constitute one OF

MINING.
Copper I'm England.

From January l, 1895, to July OF
the same year available stocks OF copper
in Europe increased from "a. 4S4 to 5S,-
1872 tons, or 3,69S tons. In the same
period this year stocks decreased from
46, l2S tons January l to 36,2S0 tons
July l, or 9,SiS tons; total decrease from
July |, 1895, to July /, 1896, 21.902
tons, or 81 per cent, For the first hall
oil 1896 the imports from America were
I ,44i tons in excess OF imports during
the like period Of 1895; but 80 largely
have the requirements OF the trade in
creased, that not only has that been alb
sorbed, but we have "A decrease In the
stocks OF 9.S4S tons from January to
June. Thus there il an increase OF IT,
293 tons in the trade consumption over
that for the first half OF 1895. 1t is now
almost certain that there will be a con-
siderable decrease from this date in the
monthly importations from America and
therefore there must be increased inroads
upon the reserved stock, for there is little
likelihood Of the trade requirements being
diminished. The demand for copper in
connection with electrical installations is
still increasing, and this, together with
the large number of locomotives ordered
for railway purposes and the quantity Of
orders for machinery nowln hand, points
TO still further increase and con tinuance
OF the trade requirements. Within the
last few weeks considerable attention
has been given to the improvements in
the electrical refining OF copper. The
Euglish company to work the process has
been established, and all its capital pro-
yided. The company has secured site
near Liverpool, and is proceeding to
erect works upon Il commercial scale, and
il il anticipated that before long this
process will so reduce the refining and
manufacturing charges as to allow OF
copper, even at increased prices for the
raw material, being used more largely
than 1t has hitherto been.-Tbe London

had been manufacturer of jewelry and

he would put in new floor Of the best

little in reply, except that he thought
he would manage to scrape "a good deal

for the new floor and the labor for lay

''The old flooring was burned and
the ashes put through a course of re-
duction. The result was that the bullion
dealer obtained nearly $500 for the gold

Railroad Routes to the Transvaai.

The objective Of railway policy has
been in ali ,ases the gold fields of the
Rand. As q glance at the map will
show, thers are three main routes TO the
Transvaal-o one via Cape Town and the
Cape railways, a second via Port Natal
and the Durham Charlestown line, q
third via Delagoa bay and Portuguese
territory and so along the Netherlands
railway-Paul Kruger's pet creation.
Or these routes, that by Table bay.
while 1t avoids the storms Of Cape
Agulhas and tho rough waters of the
south coast. involves by far the longest
railway journey after Decentralization !;
that by Delagoa the shortest.
1t is 800 miles by rail between Della.
goa bay and Johannesburg and lob
miles by rail between Cape Town aud
Johannesburg. Whatever passengers
may do in the matter of choosing rail
way routes, il is clear that for goods
traffic, in these days Of cheap water
transit, Delagoa bay must in the long
run, when good management has sue
ceeded TO bad, be preferred from econom.
ical reasons alone TO Table bay.
As the merchants Of Venice were
forced TO whistle in idleness on the his
toric quays of the Adriatic when their
command of the eastern trade route had
disappeared after the successful voyages
of Diaz and Vasco da CANA, 80 nav il
be with the merchants Of Cape Town.
They must cease to be the forwarding
agents of the bulk of the South African
trade, and they must be supplanted by
their rivals Of Natal and Of Delagoa
bay. Geography is against them as we'll
as the stern facts Of economy. for a rail
way can hardly compete mile per mile
with a steamer --Blackwood's Maya.
