MINING VS.. BUSINESS.

The mining industry is singularly
peculiar in the instance that it is one
which writes it's own history on the
worlds page of social progress says
the Mining and Metallurgical Journ-
al. From the earliest times and
down through the ages to the pres
ent date this fact holds good, both
in the old and the new worlds. The
prehistoric operation of ore bodies
in early and modern times is an in
teresting branch of the geologist's
work, and the records made show
the advances accomplished as we'll
as the failures made. Every pros
pect shaft or tunnel stands as mon
ument of success or failure. The
permanent marks thus made tell in
the future for or against the indus
try, unless obliterated or filled up,
which circumstance rarely happens.
1t is this lasting evidence of mining
operations which is so often pointed
to as being due to the risk and spec
ulative nature of the mining indus.
try, when at this date uncertainty
only belongs to the prospect and
early stages of discovery and ex-
ploitation in the operation of prop
erly managed mine.
In our cities and towns or even in
agricultural life, there is no such
record left of the many failures in
all lines of trade and in the profess
ions, except in the instance where a
church is converted into a store or
laundry, or put to some other use
than reyenerating the morals of its
members. A party goes into busi-
ness and makes failure, and in a
| few months another takes mis- place
in the same or another line of trade,
and all evidence of the failure is
gone, but the unsuccessful prospect
or, who sinks test pit or drives a
tunnel, is not always so fortunate as
to have his failure jumped by par
ty with more capital or courage, and
leaves behind him lasting evidence
of his work and misfortune. In
stances are common where a pros
pector expected to discover one min
eral and quite unknowingly, he was
mining another of equal or more
value from that which he expected
or he was told so by some one with
more knowledge of ores or minerals
of the value of his discovery.
The mining industry, even in it:
prospecting stage, is not attended
with greater risks (when the opera

THE SPANIARDS AHEAD.

ANONo dlIlfCo hbioNtd1 ei'e AAN'
miral Schley with his fleet has the
Spanish Cape Verde fleet bottled up
in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba.
While we do not presume to predict
the possible or probable results of
this movement, vet few words de-
scriptive of the two fleets are i'll ord
er.
The Spanish Cape Verde fleet is
made up generally of armored cruis-
ers, all fast runners. Not a boat is
in the fleet which cannot easily
make 20 knots an hour. In their
class they are in armor as well as
speed far superior to any fleet we
can pit against them. Notice de-
scription of their principal boats:
The Cristobal Colon is of the Car
los V type. She is modern built,
steel armored and carries powerful
batteries. The Colon has two H.
inch rifles which fire proiectiles
weighing 500 pounds, with a range
of 125 miles. She also has FIVE s.
inch rapid fire guns which discharge
70 pound projectiles at the rate of
II shots per minute.
The Maria Teresa, Vizcaya, O.
vuendo are all formidable ships of
about 1000 tons displacement.
Their length is $40 feet; beam, 65
feet; draught, 21a feet; speed, 20
knots; battery, two 1l-inch, ten So
inch, eight 6-pounders and eight l.
Founders. They have 12-inch al
NOR on their belts and coming tow
ers and 109 inches on the turrets for
their largest guns.
The only ships in our navy better
than these are the battleships Indi-
ana, Iowa, Massachusetts and Ore
gon. But as they are much slower,
speeded at only Is or Is knots an
hour, it would be impossible for
them to catch Cervera's fleet. Of
the American armored cruisers.
there are only two the Brooklyn
and New York, the former having a
3-inch armor and % knots speed
the latter S-inch armor and II knot
speed. All our other cruisers are
lightly protected, and can offer nc
serious resistance to the guns of the
Spanish.
1t looks we'll enoagh in print to
say that the Spanish are "bottled
up" But if their supply of coal is
sufficient, and they are possessed O
ordinary naval generalship they car
easily run the gauntlet of any flee
which Scoley may have, before
Sampson can join the encounter
She could much damage to Schley's
squadron while passing them, afte
which let her visit the Atlantic
coast and give us sensation. lie
her appear off charleston, New
York and Boston, take coal at Hal
flax and go home. This is surel.
possible and what an American cap
tain would do.
But if the Spaniards are caugh
without coal the results will be diff
erent. And in that case all he
seips will be captured. If Cerver
is so foolish as to be thus trapped
then would Spain better continue t
fgat savages and let civilized coun
tries strictly alone.

A Denial From Long Beach

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald
In an article published in The Herald of
Sunday September 25, under the caption
"Wets and Drys," appear some misstate-
ments that 1 cannot refrain from an at
tempt to correct. Any careful reader will
see that the writer of the article gives him
self away to such an extent that it is only
reasonable to suppose that his brain must
have been befuddled and not in proper

that the Prohibitionists disncorporated

sewer through that street, and when the
matter came up before the board of tfus-
