Tie World,s Richest Mine.

The richest gold mine in the world,
according to the New York Tribune,
is located under the thriving town of
Ballarat Victoria, Australia. The
town has about $4,000 inhabitants,
nearly all of whom are employed in
the mine. There are more than 100
miles of tunnels under the city some
of them being at a depth Of 1000 feet.
The entrance to the mine, which is con-
trolled by corporation and is known
as the Band, Barton and Albion Coun-
ellis, is outside the city.
The region around Ballarat has been
prospected over several times by
miners. 1t was formerly covered
by dense forest. but the
trees have been chopped down,
and the mark of the miners shovel
and pick is visible on all sides. Not
one OF these workers struck pay dirt,
and the work was all done in vain.
The rock in which the gold is found
beneath Ballarat is not so rich in the
yellow metal. 1t yields but half an
ounce of standard gold to the ton, and
yet the Band, Barton and Albion mine
has yielded more than $3.50, 1000 900 Of
gold since it was opened, 80 years ago.
The work is done so Systematically
and thoroughly that it is enormously
profitable in spite of the low grade of
the ore. The supply of paying quartz
seems practically inexhaustible, and as
the vein is extensive, being spread over
much territory, the mine bids fair to
last for centuries.
All OF the paying veins in Australia
run north and south, and have a dip
of % degrees east and west. In work.
ing the mines, a shaft is sunk until
the vein is struck. Then the miners
work upward, allowing the ore to fall
backward and downward to the shaft,
through which it is raised to the sur
face, where it is milled
The worlzmen in the Rand, Barton
and Albion are much more comfort
able than the workers in a coal Eline.
There are no noxious gases and no
danger from explosions. Pure air is
forced in through various shafts, and
thus into the drivers. The tunnels are
drilled for apart so that there will be
no danger to the city above, where all

A SUCCESSFUL MILL BUILDER.
The Plant Started in July and Has
Paid For Itself.

Jay a. CZizek, manager of the Idaho
Consolidated company at Warrens.
made a record this summer in mill
building that has not been euualled in
any other camp located far from the

The Alice Mine

Concerning the Alice mine, at Walk
erville, Mont, which is principally
owned by Salt Lake people, the Butte
Miner says:
The Alice company at Walkerville
continues on the even tenor of it's way
and every two weeks a good-sized
shipment Of gold and silver bricks is
made to San Francisco, where the prod
uct Of the company has been marketed
for many years. The 6O-stamp mill of
the company is kept busy all the time,
dropping night and day, and ere is
hoisted from the Alice, Magma Charta,
Blue Wing and Valdemere mines prin-
cipally. The ore of the Alice com
pany, While it is essentially a silver
one, carries a good percentage of gold.
and runs particularly high in gold in
the Blue Wing mine, which has lately
become one of the best producers of
the company. Some of the high-grade
ore from the Blue Wing is sent away
to be smelted. While the other ore is
treated at the mill. Some of the ore
from the Blue Wing runs as high as
100 ounces in silver and $50 in gold to
the ton

THE BIG TIER PLACER.
The Company In Good Shape For
Work In the Surfing.

The Butte Mining World says that
the big Tier Placer Mining company,
operating at Clancy, Mont, has elected
the following directors: Charles San
key, Thomas J. Chestnut v. E Will
ham, L. S. Edelblute, Hugh Mclean.
AFFORD Harvey and A. f. Long The
directors then elected Thomas j.
Chestnut, president; L. S. Edelblute,
vice president, and A. z. Long, secre-
tary and treasurer Aside from the
general understanding that work would
be resumed on the mine in the spring
as early as the weather would permit
no definite time was fixed. The COM
pany have no debts, and are now prac-
tically equipped for active work in the
spring-ditches dug, fumes set, new
giant and piping on the ground, cabins
built, and everything in readiness for
long and successful placer season.
The company owns 80 acres of valua-
bic placer ground and ample water to
work it. While it does not prospect in
any of the openings or cuts made dur
ing the season just passed, with the
glittering possibilities of the gold fields
of the land Of the midnight sun. care
full examination by men familiar with
placer mining nearly all their lives, has
demonstrated that the ground is rich
enough in the yellow metal to pay
handsomely from the start The ground
seems to have been overlooked by pros
pectors heretofore and while many were
aware Of the existence OF the big bar.
they neglected to thoroughly examine
it. The bar furnishes 100 feet deep of
wash gravel and. in places, more, in
which colors of coarse and fine gold
can be obtained in the pan from sur
face TO bedrock. On bedrock the gold
is very coarse, what is known as shot
gold For the n5st part, with frequent
ragged Is, % and 50-cent pieces, with
some 81 and SO nuggets; therefore it
VIII be seen that when the company
began piping this gravel through the
boxes in the spring. as they are now
ali ready to do. they should save gold
very fast. During the past summer a
large amount of work was done. from
eight to ten men being constantly en-
ployed since the discovery in the early
spring. The ground has been properly
opened and thoroughly prospected
throughout it's length and breadth,
With results highly satisfactory to the
stockholders. They have expended more
than $4,000 in getting the ground in
shape. and nave not had to go beyond
the limits of our immediate community
to get ali the money necessary. be-
cause those who know the ground best
have the most confidence in it. and feel
sure Of cuick returns from it

Not Dead Languages

The idea is commonly prevalent, says
the St. Louis Gloibe-Democrat that Latin
and Greek are dead languages. no longer
used as mediums of communication. AS d
matter of fact, each is now a living Ian
guage. The Greek is spoken by millions
of people as their mOtner tongue, and so
little has the language changed in 20 cen
turies that the modern native of Athens
reads the opationS of DemOstheneS and
the history Of Thucydides with more ease
than the ordinary Englishman the poems
of Cnaucer. Latin is not now growing
language. like the English. but IS used as
a means of official and often of personal
communication among the clergy of the
Roman Catholic church. All official pa
perS emanating from Rome are in Latin
pure as that OF Tactus. while the deliber-
ations of the councils are held III the
language. Hebrew, too. is still living
language, being used not only in the or
ehOdOX synagOgues. but also as the daily
speech of great numbers of Jews, perticu-
Iarly in Russia, Austria and Germany.

Accident at the Bonanza.

The Democrat also says:
From telephone message received
by the Democrat last evening it is
learned that RUDE Edwards, the head
sawyer in the saw mill, was severely,
though probably not fatally injured at
the Bonanza mine yesterday.
In some manner Edwards was struck
by the saw belt, or pully, ard sustained
fracture of the shoulder and other
injuries about the body; also a con-
cussion Of the brain, which up to the
time of the message rendered him I'M
conscious.
He was found lying on the platform
near the saw. DR.. William Lockwood
Parker, of this city, and Dr.. Tape, of
Sumpter, were summoned and these
physicians are now in attendance on
the injured man, and give it as their
opinion that he will recover.
Some hours after the accident he
became able to articulate a few words
and his pulse being stronger, with
other good symptoms, makes promise
of his recovery very favorable.
The gentleman is brother of Mrs.
Nfinot Austin, of Austins station, and
is single man about 80 years OF age.

How Congressman Allen Gained His
Point With President Cleveland.

Point With President Cleveland.
Detroit Free Press: Soon after
President Cleveland was first inaug-
urated Private John Allen saw him
several times in behalf of one of his
constituents who was anxious to be-
come a United States marshal in one
of the Mississippi districts. On each
occasion the president had refused to
consider the application at that time,
giving as reason that he had not
reached the Mississippi appointments.
The applicant became so importunate
that Congressman Allen decided to
make one more effort. He went to the
White House and made a stronger plea
than ever but succeeded in accom-
plishing nothing, but before leaving
obtained the presidents permission to
tell an anecdote.
when I commenced practicing law
one of my first clients was a young
man whose father had recently died
and left a large fortune. Some legal
complications had arisen which de-
layed, until by the decision of the
court, of these questions, the settling
up of the estate. In the meantime this
young man, in anticipation of an early
dividend, had gone heavily into debt,
and his creditors, seeing no money
coming, had become very pressing.
After repeated postponements the day
at last came when I felt certain our
case would be decided. Ny client came
TO my Office and together we went to
the court house. One or two cases
were quickly disposed of, but when
ours was called the judge announced
that he would not decide it until the
next term. AS we left the room the
young man, with tears yelling UP in
his eyes, said: Mr.. Allen, am almost
sorry the old man died.
Private Aliens man was appointed
without further delay.
