GREAT MINING SHAFT.


 eve who are interested in mining in Michigan do not need to come 10 Colorado to study mining methods, said T. w. Hoskins of Marquette, Michigan, at the Brown Palace hotel yesterday, though I have no doubt we could learn many new things from you. We take special glory from the fact that we have the greatest mining shaft in the world-that of the Calu- met and Hecla.
 q went down that shaft few weeks ago and I could talk to you for an hour about what I saw there. The shaft is 4.900 feet deep, and, compared with it. the deep mines of the Comstock in Ne vada or the great mines of Austria that have been worked for centuries are mere shallow pits. The great shaft has six compartments, each of which is as large as an ordinary shaft, one for the ladderways, and the sixth for the wires and pipes which are necessary for the telephones, light, power, water and compressed air. The remarkable feature of this great mine is that the course of the vein is so undertaking that the; engineers can plan work ahead for thousands of feet with the absolute certainty that the actual working will agree with the plans. As a result the underground workings are laid out with mathematical accur- acy. The great pumps that hoist thou sands of gallons of water every hour are operated interchangeably by com pressed air and electricity. There are 300 power drills constantly in opera tiOn, each of them doing the work of six men, operated by compressed air, and these are kept at work night and day. The system is marvellous in it's results. Every drift is constantly un- der the eye of the engineer in his of flee on the surface, and the result of every shot is known as soon as the smoke clears away.
 Every ton of ore hoisted is automat ically registered in the office, and the condition of the entire mine at any given moment is but a mater of few minutes calculation, and few inquir- ies by telephone. The air supply of the mine is as nearly perfect as it can be. Great blowing engines send it down to the bottom of the shaft, where it is caught by immense fans and car ried through pipes into the headings of the longest drifts, so that accidents from foul air are unknown in the mine In fact, accidents of any kind are so infrequent that the presence of the company's surgeon seems almost su- perfuous, but when an accident does occur it is only a question of minutss before the injured man is in the doc tors hands.

PROMOTING STOCK COMPANIES.

The organization of joint stock com- patton in both the United States and European countries. The extent to which such companies have increased have been productive of the encourag- ment of fraudulent operators. Their being no special law under which the fraudulent promoter could be restrain ed or prevented, the opportunity has been taken advantage of to it's fullest extent in the European. capitals, or centers where company promotion has reached the greatest development The common occurrence of fraud in this connection, and to such an extent has this fraudulent means of obtaining capital under false pretenses been car rled on by interruptions promoters in France, that legislative action is about to be taken to step or suppress the evil. M. Fleury-Ravarin, a deputy for the Rhone, has presented such a meas ure, which has received the unanimous approval of the commissioner d'initia- tive, with the recommendation of it's discussion by the chamber of deputies. The difficult task Of making people honest uy act of the legis' stu.e las been forced upon the French goveru- ment, on account of the numerous frauds perpetrated on small investors, who do not as a rule take the precau- t1ons to make inquiry as to the re- sources and genuine character of the enterprise, as larger investors gener- ally do. In future it will be impos- sible to float a stock company without giving security and guaranty of the genuine nature of the enterprise. Every prospectus in future must give all details of the proposed company, and any false statements will cause the promoters to be held liable for heavy penalty. To prevent pro moter from absconding when threat ened with expense and legal prosecu- ticn, it is compulsory that the enter prise must be recommended by f1nan- cial institution of more than two years standing in France, and whose guaranty will secure the investor against loss from this cause The banker, under these circumstances. be- comes responsible for the new com pany, and will take care to make due inquiry in advance as to the genuine nature Of the enterprise The fore going reasons apply equally well to this country, and make the necessity for a uniform federal law to govern all limited or joint stock companies a necessary measure.-Mining and Met allurgical Journal.

Rumors of large cash sales to France kept
the pit in very nervous state, but up to 1890

May at $124. Shorts made occasional efforts
to cover and each time they found offerings

cash wheat for export presumably to France,
at an advance of &c over yesterdays figure.
He accompanied the news with heavy buying
orders through his brokers, the Allen-Grier-
Zeller company. They bid May up from $1.24
to $1.31. Letters efforts to secure more May
wheat, which is equivalent to the cash article
threw the bears into a panic. July jumped
by eighths and quarters from 98 to 98Ac. The
close was at $3.50, a net gain of 4c May
closed at $1-30, net gain of &C. Letters tao

U. S. AUXILIARY CRUISERS.
RumOr That j. j. Hill and Others
Nav Eventually BUY Them.


Railroad officials are interested in a rumor
which has gained circulation recently to the
effect that James j. Hill, president of the
Great Northern railway, is interested in the
organization OF corporation which will make
a propC Sition to the United States govern
ment to take over the line of steamships that
have been recently purchased by the gov
ernment and fitted up as auxiliary cruisers,
tween Seattle and Japan and China in con-
nection with the Great Northern railway.
This move, If contaminated, would mate
rally broaden the commerce between the
United States and Japan and China.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Hill ap,
and made a stirring address in regard to the
enlargement of the American shipping inter-
ests between this country and the Orient. The
present war has Unexpectedly developed the
possibilities for the United States to increase
this trade through the purchase of the large
fleet of steamers.
After hostlities cease, an effort, 1t is said
Of the fleet and use the steamers for extend
ing the commerce of the United States with
foreign countries.
The number of Great Northern steamships
at present is limited and it is known that
Mr.. Hill has for some time contemplated
the Great Northerns steamship line to the
Orient 200 per cent more capacity last year
the business with Japan and China would
have showed a corresponding increase.
1t is not known who is at the head of
the other syndicate which will bid for the
steamers. The competition for the control
OF the boats will be sharp and spirited and
should the rumor prove to be true, the out
come will be watched with much interest by
the people of the Northwest.
