Clearly there must be a brilliant future
before the Irish donkey in South Africa.
Other beasts of burden invariably sue
cumb to the climate. but the donkey Of
Ireland seems to enjoy it and scarcely
ever knows what it is to suffer a days ill
ness in the colony. In a word. he laughs
at the tsetse fly. and scorns to yield to
any of the annoyances, insectivorous or
otherwise of the Dark Continent. In these
circumstances it is not surprising to hear
that at the present moment there is. a
tremendous boom in the "moke" market
OF the distressful country. buyers repre-
senting English and Dutch syndicates

sons of Erin for shipment to South
Africa. In Clare and Limerick and Tip

$4,000 in this way. much to the satisfac-

handsome profit out of the business. This
seems to promise a new branch of in

4 SIGNIFICANT TOAST.
Use of the Word ALLIANCE"
AT Cronstadt Raises French
Dreams Of the Recon-
quest Of Alsaee-
Lorraine.
lBy Cable to The Associated Press.l

lBy Cable to The Associated Press
PARIS, Aug q, 1S97.-The morning
newspapers Of this city express delight at
the fact that, by the mention of the
word alliance in the toasts of the Gar
and President Faure on board the French
cruiser Pothuau. at Cronstadt, yesterday
the world has apparently been informed
that distinct understanding really
exists between France and Russia, and
that this understanding is apparently in
tn enature of an alliance for the preserva-
ton of the peace of Europe, though some
of the French papers, the "Rappel," for
instance, are inclined to believe that the
alliance means Russia's support of
France in the event of the latter attempt
ing to reconquer Alsace and Lorraine
from Germany. On this subject, as ca
bled to the Associated Press last night,
the "Rappep' said:--
1.-THE hour of reparation is about to
strike. Alsace and Lorraine will become
French again and the great peace spoken
of on board the Pothuau will be built on
the shattered debris of power founded on
brute force
The "Gaulois' says of the mentioning
of the word "alliance":-
oucn an expression was not luSSrleu III
the toast for nothing. It was no mere
verbal flourish. There never are fiourishes
in the Cars toasts and we can only see
in it the very soul and inspiration of the
alliance -
The "SoleiP' remarks:-
Something is changed in the world
today. The Franco-Russian alliance
makes its appearance as a great force in
the worlds International politics."
The Radical says
1--WE dreamed of an alliance for revenge
and we have an alliance for peace We
must bid farewell to our patriotic hopes
The "Autorite," however, takes a diff
ferent view of the question, saying:-
After the Cars reference to right
and equity it is no longer forbidden that
France should think of Alsace and Lor-
raine."
France R usstau Peace Conference
by Cable to The Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 27, 1s97.-It
was semi-officially announced today that
the conference between the French Min
lister for Foreign Affairs, M. Hanotaux,
and the Russian Minister for Foreign Af-
fairs, occurred first In the presence of the
Czar and afterwards in the presence of
President Faure. 1t is added that the
results are most satisfactory for the in
terests of France and Russia and for the
peace of the world.

ing been run in 1000 feet. 1t was sug-
gested that he go deeper. but the doc
tor has his own ideas of the geological
structure there and decided TO run a
tunnel higher up the hill, so he started
one about 100 feet above the 1000 foot
tunnel. This has been in porphyry up
to within n few days ago, When the
stained material coming out indicated
the presence of contact AS progress
was made ore began coming in on all
sides. and on Saturday breast samples
showed the remarkably fine value of
% ounces gold and 161s ounces silver.
Two assays were taken. both tallying
very closely. At the present time the
entire face of the tunnel-top, bottom
and sides-are in mineral, and the pres
ent indications are that the Jay Bird
is in a large body of gold ore
While the ore body has not yet been
fully proved IN. mining men regard
the strike as one of great importance.
1t is probable that the mineral is in
one of the veins so frequently found
in the pyritiferous porphyry, and
which are often very rich and valu-
able. The developments on this prop
erty will be watched with the greatest
interest by mining men, and the open
ing up of the Jay Bird into producer
will lead to considerable work in that
portion of California gulch.

THE HEAD CENTER CLAIM.
Adverse Interests Purchased by
Messrs. SNYDER & Moore.

W. F. Snyder, the well-known Gold
Mountain miner and operator, returned
Tuesday night from Black Rock, where
he purchased the interests of w L.
Raht, Z. r. Smith and Walter James
in the Head Center claim for himself
and his partner, A. J. Moore, paying
s., 600 for the same.
The Head Center is located within
5000 feet from the Sewer mine. in the
Gold Mountain district, in Piute coun-
ty, and is valuable for its quartz lodges,
as we'll as for its auriferous placer de-
posits.
The property has been surveyed and
advertised for patent under the name
of the Holland mining lode. and the
purchase of these conflicting interests
was made in order that a patent might
issue without protest being made.
1t is now the intention of Messrs.
Snyder and Moore to install a giant
hydraulic on the ground and they hope
to begin sluicing about the 1cth OF May.
as the plant has already been ordered
and the ditch is about completed, and
unless their plans miscarry they hope
to be able to send in their first con-
signment of bullion about the LIST of
June.
The Holland carries excellent values
in its placer deposits. and there seems
to be no doubt but that it viii develop
into a heavy producer of the yellow
metal. besides which the quartz lodges
are we'll defined and are loaded with
gold
Mr.. Snyder is one of the pioneers of
Gold Mountain district and is doing a
great deal towards its DEVELOPMENT.
and he states that he is satisfied that
it will come to the front at no distant
day as one of the greatest gold camps
in the west
From all indications this is bound to
be an active camp this season and al
ready a large amount of effective work
is being done there with most encour-
aging results.

ELECTRO caEMIcAL PROCESS.
A Saving of Hundred Per Cent
Claimed.

The Butte Miner gives an account of
new discovery for the reduction of
low grade ores which. if it is all that
is claimed for it, will cut an important
figure in mining operations in the west
The Miner says:
Joseph Hebaus of this city has per-
fected an electro-chemical process for
the extraction of the precious metal
from low grade ores which bids fair 10

process has passed beyond the expert
mental stage, and patents are now
pending.
With my process from to ounces
of gold or silver can be extracted from
low grade ores with 80 cents worth OF
chemicals said Mr.. Hebaus yesterday
"A machine having a capacity OF fVe
tons will require only one horse power
to run it. It will work on any kind OF
ores or compounds carrying either gold
or silver, and when the gold is in such
shape that the mills cannot save II Win
mercury, l can extract 100 per cent OF
it without using any mercury what
ever.
with A weak solution 1 have been
able TO save 100 per cent of gold, con-
tinued the inventor, land from 80 to "

THE LION HILL OUTLOOK.
It's Ores Can Be Treated by the Cy-

his ideas. successfully.
In fact. Mr.. Peyton was very much
interested in the success Of the North

operation largely depends the future
Of nearly every mine on Lion hill. and
especially the producers OF low grade
ores. as il is believed that thee ores
can only be economically treated by

carefully watched by a large number
of interested parties. who viii be
