Fortunes In Mining Stocks.

IN November, 1870, Crown Point
Mine shares were drug in the market
at 81 share. Six months later they
were eagerly bought at $4,000. In the
summer of 1870 struggling Frisco
tradesman accepted 100 of these
shares IN payment of a debt of e25,
and counted the transactions among
his many unlucky ventures. He de-
clded to hold the shares, however, and
exactly year later realized them for
t12O,OOO, or the substantial return Of
94,800 for every pound of the original
deDt. Within single year shares in
the Consolidated Virginia and Cali
fornia mines rose from Is Sd to $1,000
a share. A horse dealer, called Bald
win, or San Francisco, bought 900 of
these shares at IS each on the eve of
business voyage to Australia On his
return he had almost forgotten that
he had the shares, when to his amaze
ment he found that they had increased
in value to $3,500,00O, or 100000.
Belcher stock went from IS to Els in
a single week, and similar rises were
experienced in scores Of different
shares. During these years enormous
fortunes were lost through want Of
pluck or foresight. Comstock, the
discover Of the richest lode in the
world, was so ignorant of the value of
his discovery, that he sold his fourth
share in it for e1,200, and counted
himself lucky man. In six months
this lode produced gold of the value Of
100000. In ten years two mines
alone on the lode yielded over e22,-
100000, and in fourteen years the lode
had produced f26, 100000 in dividends
to its lucky shareholders.

A Cuban MiJkmoD

'How many COWS there are about
the streets!" somebody exclaims. and
then he is calmly Informed that the
mornings milk is simply being deliv-
cred. A bunch of cattle and their dri-
yer stop before house, and the por-
tero comes out with a cup for the
mornings supply. It is seen then that
the COWS are being milked from door
to door by the dairymen, for this is
the way the acute Cuban housewives
have taken to assure for their tables
lacteal supply which is entirely fresh
and absolutely pure. Otherwise the
guile-loving vender might dilute the
milk before delivering it to his Gus
toners, and craftily stir into the wa
terry fluid the juice of the sweet potato
to color it up to duly rich and creamy
cast. Even with the COWS MIXED be-
fore the door one must continue to
watch the milkman, for l have even
heard of their having a rubber bag
of water concealed under their loose
frocks and connected with rubber
tube running down the inside of the
sleeve, its tip being concealed in the
hollow of the milking-hand. Only a
gentle pressure upon the bag Of water
within is needed to thus cause both
milk and water to flow into the cup
at the same time. The milk-venders
Of Italy and India have also learned
their trade to perfection, for they
practice this identical trick. Edward

Quebec, Aug. 31.-The Americans, of
the arbitration commission, began their
labors at O'Clock yesterday morning,
and by themselves, and in joint session
were at work all day. The joint ses-
sion, which began at II O'clock, lasted
until nightfall. AS usual, when the
joint meeting closed the commission
ers reported that they had gone thro'
a day Of very hard work and that good
progress had been made. Senator Fair
banks, for the Americans, and Lord
Herschel, of the Canadians, have been
selected to give out whatever there
may be for the press, but so far there
has been nothing which the commits
sion has considered wise to reveal.
Whenever Lord Herschel is asked by
the newspaper. representatives for. a
crumb of news he praises the good ma
ture and friendly attitude of the
Americans, and whenever Senator
Fairbank is pressed for information he
praises the friendliness and hospitality
OF the Canadians. But never one
word escapes either as to what takes
place behind the closed doors: The sec
retaries and experts who are connect
ed with the commission are equally
close mOuthed.
