said that the main object of the Chin

European governments on the subject
OF an increase in the customs tariffs of
China. Russia, Germany and France
are understood to be favorable to the
increase, but the marquis of Salisbury
wants time to consider the matter.
The results of Ii Hung Changes tour
depend upon his acts on his return to
Pekin. His first step will be to write
a report Of his travels for the emperor
and it is probable that the ambassador
will then retire to private life. His
report will be printed and distributed
broadcast throughout China, and Ii,
having retired, will be regarded as
having made representations quite dis
interestedly. If, however, he remains
in public life, many of the Chinese will
regard his suggestions as having been
made for the purpose of obtaining
fresh power and regaining his old posi-
ton. The emperor of China, personal
ly, Is favorable to the extension Of the
railway system of China and 1t is felt
that, if Ii retires the emperor will act
upon his suggestions, and it is quite
possible that the railway extension will
be begun with foreign railway board
similar to the foreign customs COM
mission.

willie is one of the great treasure vaults
of the United States. Within the past
seventeen years Uncle Sam has drawn
upon it to the evtent of more than
$500, GOO, 900, but it has today more than
100 producing mines and its undevel-
oped riches are incalculable. 1t con-
tains some of the richest gold and some
of the most wonderful silver mines of
the world. The territory surrounding
1t is being reprospected, new mines are
being opened and some of the old mines
are so wonderful in their production
that their owners do not want them
mentioned in the newspapers. Such a
one is the Little Johnny" which now
has an output of $4,000 worth of gold
g day, and which, 1 am told, could be
made to produce, if the owners wished
it, $4,000 in gold daily for years to
come. 1 met the president of this mine
the other day and asked If 1 might
visit it. He offered to grant the per-
mission, but only on condition that I
would say nothing about my trip in
the newspapers. 1 replied that I was
in Leadville to get the news and not
to suppress it. The result was 1 did

however. but that it is one of the most
wonderful mines of the world. In one
of the banks here there is about a
peck of specimens of the pure gold
which has been taken from it, The
gOl in the vein is in the shape of or
binary gold ore, but in places there are
flakes and scales of pure metal, and

struck in which it lies in Jumps. The

the coal bill folr the furnaces alone
amounts to $3.50 daily. Five hundred
dollars a day is paid for wages to the
miners, and the machinery is Of the
most costly description. After dress
ing in miners clothes ! went down into
the shaft. Stepping on the elevator
was dropped hundreds of feet, past
tunnel after tunnel running off into
the vein, until / was at last more than
a thousand feet below the surface.
Running off from the shafts are
these great. pipes or tunnels, out of
which have been cut the silver and
lead. They are driven by electricity.
They are driven this way and that,
so that they form labyrinth like the
avenues in the catacombs Of Rome.
You could lose yourself in this mine
1t connects with the great Henrietta
mine, and you might wander about
from tunnel to tunnel without finding
your way to the shaft.
The mine is a wet mine, and it takes
an enormous amount of money to wall
it with timbers. Many such mines con-
tain forests of great logs, and it is es-
timated that there is more than 81 ,000,-
900 worth of lumber and timber used
in the mines of Leadville alone. Each
of these tunnels is rooted and walled
with big pine logs, and the slopes, or
caves, cut away from the tunnels in
order to get the silver out, have to be
almost filed with timbers. for fear
their sides may cave in. No one who
has not gone through a great mine can
appreciate the amount of water which
flows into it. In the bottom of the

LONDON, Aug. 22.-The past week
has been the quietest Of the year,
politically, socially and in every way.
The main features of interest have
been the silver question in the West
and the Cretan instruction in the
East. The full season has brought
usual disturbances among laborers and
artisans and the long threatened dock
ers' strike seems likely to come to a
head in the near future. The men at
several Of the national torpedo works
are already out, trouble is brewing
among the Nottingham lace workers,
the East End tailors' strike has begun
against the large tailoring firms and
the men will be withdrawn from the
other concerns shortly. This strike is
promoted by the middlemen, who get
contracts from the big houses and then
distribute them to journeymen The
mfddlemen claim that they have $4,000
Journeymen behind them. Finally a
London cabbies' strike against the
privileged cabs at the railway stations
is being discussed and voted on and will
be decided on Aug. 20.
The past half year has been the most
profitable one for English railroads for
many years past.
The second report on the select COM
mittee Of the house of lords on Sunday
observance has just been published.
1t contains a memorial signed by 1884
members Of the dramatic and musical
profession, expressing the hope that
the law prohibiting opening places of
amusement for pay on Sundays will
be upheld in order to protect half
million persons against Sunday labor.
The experience Of Western cities of the
United States is quoted as evidence in
support Of upholding the law.
