In sizing up the mining situation and
happenings of the week, together with
future prospects Of new deals which
promise to eliminate in the near future,
we have no cause to complain Of the
present outlook, and like the man who
had lost both legs, 1--WE can't kick" The
new and fayoroble strikes that have
recently been made in copper and gold,
give promise as development proceeds
to be grand producers, and give labor
to hundreds of men who come among
us seeking employment. The new tariff
duty of six cents a pound and twenty
per cent advalorem on rough mica, and
twelve cents n pound and twenty per
cent adyalorem on cut mica, has had a
tendency to arouse an interest in the
mica prospects more than has been
evinced by our prospectors for several
years past. That Custer and its imme.
diate surroundings can boast of more
and better veins Of mica than any other
section in America, we verify believe
and once in awhile tho way seems to be
opened up to get some of our mica on

ELEcTRlFTING JAMES RIVER,

The action Of the City Councils of
i''cTmohd, IN granting the franchises
asked for by the Virginia Electric Com
pany sets In motion an enterprise hay-iu.
iof It's object the 'electrifying' OF James
RiVcr,' says the Richmond Dispatch.
according to our esteemed contempor-
airy The plan proposed Is similar to that
which is in successful operation at Nj
agara. and which allows of the manufac-
ture OF electrical power at n central
point. and the dissolution thereof for
miles around. There is no other possible
way that the great water power that is
going TO waste here can be so satisfnc
torllT developed Manufactures may
then be quite independent of holders of
lands and lots on the river bank. In the
past many such sites have been held
ut prices which Practically forbade their
sale, and which MS consequences nro-
hihted new manufactures from coming

tht river or canal bank, but may go

may there prosecute his business almost
az well as If he were in the heart of the
city.
Again, The new enterprise will bring

using steam power, and who complain

is much higher than it should be. Alto.

This would be a great enterprise
surely, and one which would bring n'olt
wealth 10 Virginia. The Dispatch should

AzsARD MT EoR THE sro1lsMEs

Commissioner Carroll D. Wright of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, has
given the spoilsmongers IN Congress n
hard nut In crack in his exhibit OF the
proofs that under civil service reform
the expenses of the census OF 1890 would
have been less by more than 50 600 600
ana That the work would have been
much better performed. F.x-Supcrin-
tcndeni If the Census Robert Il. Porter.
tnrIy cCcirc1t to civil service reform
appears also to have become con-
Vihcod OF the evil influence of the
Spots system upon the work of this
bureau. Yet, observes the Philadelphia
Record, notwithstanding all this, the
spotlsmen in Congress seem determined
'hat The merit system shall not be an
pied to the selection OF clerical and
other employees in the taking of the
next census. The spoilers insist upor
sharing this patronage, at any expense

From the way things are going on ~
LOOKS as though the greater part of tho
business of the majority in Congress-
'nis session is the getting OF spells. and
inc question Is. how long will the coun-
u! submit to such n programme?

Greek fleet has been consolidated in
Cretan waters. and a Turkish fleet IS on
the way thither. with orders at Con-
stantinople to prepare a second fleet
for sea. Greece has called out a con-
siderable proportion of the reserves,
and Prince Nicholas, third son of tho
King. has gone TO the Turkish frontier
of Macedonia, with seven batteries OF
Krupp guns and sixteen thousand men,
and other troops will follow. There
are probably forty thousand Turkish
troops in Macedonia, but they are prac-
ticaIly in a hostile country, and at the
first collision between Turks and
Greeks it is almost certain that Macedo-
MIA and Epirus will rise in revolt, with
a probability that Bulgaria, MOntene-
gro. Albania and perhaps Servia would
i0fn i'm the chorus. In fact, Servia is
mcbilizing her army. In Constantinople
signs of revolt are not lacking. A state
of war between Turkey and Greece
practically exists. but neither side has
made a formal declaration. Meanwhile
Greece is calmly but firmly carrying out
her Cretan programme, and the Chris
uans are in practical control there.
The situation must speedily turn. for
better or worse. That it Will become
worse before it is better is a pretty
safe guess.
