per mines are idle for lack Of money
to work them. The ore is In sight, but
there is no money to get it out. The
nitrate fields are spotted with English
companies who have put over 500, O00,-
900 into them and have taken vast for
tunes out. They will tell you they are
losing money today, but their stock
has been Watered again and again.
The coal deposits about here are very
valuable, and only small part Of them
are being worked. They extend for
about 100 miles on the edge of the sea,
the beds sloping down under the water.
The Couslno fortune of millions was
made out of the mines at Lota, about
twenty-five miles from Conception, and
those Of Coronel near by, which are
now being worked several miles under
the ocean, are very valuable Twenty
miles away an Aranco' bay there is a
coal property that once asked to man
age. One million dollars had been spent
upon 1t, and 1000 men were at work.
l saw at once that the work was going
the wrong way, and that the seam went
down under the sea, instead of into
the land l stopped the works at once,
and upon the Investigations of the en-
gineers the works were closed for lack
Of money, the company becoming bank
rupt. The mine could now be bought
for $4,000 in gold, and 100000 put into
working it would produce, 1 believe,
$1,000,000. 1 was once the manager Of
the big Puchoco coal mines, which are
Of the same character and which now
produce 200, 900 tons of coal a year.
They are situated on Coronel bay, and
were at the time l had charge the prop
erty of Baltimore men. 1 took out no.
900 tons of coal the first year, and we
made throughout an enormous profit
running as high at times as so per cent
year. This coal region is, you know,
practically the only one on the west
coast Of South America, and all of the
ships must coal here. l know there are
a number Of good properties of this
kind. All that the capitalist needs to do
is to bring his experts out here and in
Vestigate. They can tell from these
other submarine mines just what the.
cost will be and the probable profits.'
MINING COAL UNDER SEA.
These coal mines of Chile are exceed
ingly interesting. They are far differ
ent from any mines we have in the
United States, and in some respects are
far more difficult to work. The seam
Of coal, which Is at it's best about five
feet thick, begins at the shore and runs
down under the waters Of the Pacific
ocean. The rock above it Is slate and
shale, SO compact that the water does
rot drip through. The tunnels are so
clean that you could walk through
them in b dress suit without danger

SCHLEYS NARROW ESCAPE.
Story That He Was Once on the
Point OF Being Recalled.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 15.-One Of the best-kept
secrets of the war is disclosed in newspaper
dispatch from Washington this morning which
says that the report OF Capt. Crowninshield,
chief of the bureau Of navigation OF the navy
department, will show that Admiral Schley
came very near being called home in dis-rlce
last May. He located Cervera's feet at
Cienfuegos and blockaded that harbor for Ave
days with the flying squadron, until he was
informed by Capt. McCala, of the Marblehead.
of his mistake Then he started for Key
West to coal. leaving Santiago to be guarded
by Commodore Cotton, of the Harvard with
orders to return to the mouth OF that har-
Dor and not to leave 1t under any considera-
ton. Now that the secret is out It is said
that the cabinet was unanimous in favor OF
Schley's recall; but the president interviewed
and allowed him to remain, but as a pruden-
tial measure sent Admiral Sampson to Santi-
ago in command Of the blockading squadron.

FISHKILL LANDING, Oct. 15.-
Never in the height of his fame did
John L. Sullivan receive a more en-
thusiastic welcome than at the Mattea-
wan state asylum for criminal insane.
Had he appeared elsewhere 1t could
truly be said that his audience went
crazy about him.
Sullivan, Jake Kilrain and their stage
company were booked to show at FISH

asylum thought q sparring bout would
have a. soothing effect on the homi-
cidal manfacs in his care. So Sullivan
was invited to give. an entertainment
In the aSylum's auditorium At first
he refused, but learning how anxious
the inmates were to see him he good
naturally yielded.
When Sullivan and Kilrain stepped
on the stage in R'ing costume the 600
lunatics went wild. Manv i11Tnne6

of getting dirty. They are worked with
the latest machinery, and during my
VISIT TO them l had several experiences
Whlcn IL Is hard to realize could take
place In Chile. Think, for instance, Of
riding on an electric trolley coal train
through tunnel over a. mile long I'M
uer the racine ocean at a speed Of
twenty miles an hour. Imagine mines
lghted by electricity forming q cata-
comb Of corridors and chambers under
the waves. Realize that just above
You great steamships are floating and
tnat the coal which is being taken out
OF this bed of the Pacific is being
shoVeied into them. Picture sooty min
ers, Ealf naked, blasting out the coal
ana loading the cars, and follow the
train carrying twenty-seven tons of
black diamonds to the shaft, where a
mighty steam engine lifts four Of them
at one time to the surface, and you
nave some idea OF what is going on at
the Lota coal mine These mines are
now producing 1000 tons of coal day
ana 100 miners are employed within
them. They pay a profit running high
into the hundreds of thousands of dol
lars year and are as carefully man
aged as any of the great coal properties
OF our country. l asked as to the pay
or the miners and was told that they
received from 80 cents to 81 Chilean,
or from 81 to So cents of our money. I
wonder what our Pennsylvania miners
would think Of that The Chileans,
however, have their houses rent free
and coal is furnished them at cost
price.
THE COUSINO FORTUNE.
These mines were opened by Don
Matias Cousino in 1855, and they form
ed the foundation of the Cousino for
tune. OF which you have read in the
stories published about the late Nine.
Cousino, the so-called richest woman
In the world. Her income from the
mines and factories at Lota is said to
nave been million dollars a year. If
SO, she spent the most Of 1t. for the
estate now that she Is dead, though
still large, Is many millions short of
the amount at which Is has generally
been estimated. The Senior CouSino
who was her husband must have been
man Of great ability He owned cop
per mines, silver mines and big estates
and he established here a copper smelt-
ing works to which the ore from the
/ Cousino mine Is carried In the steam
ers belonging to the estate. Under
him the town of Lota which now con-
talns about $4,000 people, grew up, and
IN the different Cousino works and
factories here more than 5000 men are
now employed. On mountainous lit
tie peninsula, above the coal bed and
just opposite the smelter. is Nine
Cousino's famous park and palace of
Lota. 1t Is one OF the most beautiful
parks Of the world and a fortune has
been spent in making it 30. 1t is even
more beautiful than her estate of Mo-
cul, which 1 visited from Santiago, and
is full Of wonders Of landscape gar
dening and picturesque effects of land
and sea. Frank G. Carpenter.

DEPARTMENT EMBARRASSED.
Volunteers Are Not Available for
Garrison Duty in West Indies


Garrison Duty in West Indies.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The war depart
ment is considerably embarrassed by ths
question of how to garrison the islands of
Cuba and Porto Rico. The departments
embarrassment arises from the fact thai
it does not care to send volunteers to tbs
West Indies at this time. The Vofunteer err
enlisted for two years. ''or for the war"
and the moment the treaty of peace l.
signed every volunteer DESTROYS of leaving
the service will be able to request his dis
charge by reason of the expiration of the
enlistment. and he will be able to get it.
The war department officials say that con-
gress will have to pass new legislation 70
remedy the difficulty.
Gen: Corbin said this morning that the
volunteers would all be encampsd south
but no one could at present say whore they
would be sent ultimately. The destination of
the various volunteer regiments new in
camps is very uncertain. One thing however
is sure, and that is that these various volun-
teer regiments will be retained in the service
of the United States.
In view of the fact that considerable
difficulty is being experienced in getting en-
hstments in the regular service it is quite
apparent that the department will not have
sufficient regular troops to garrison the newly
acquired possessions Of the United States.

Answers to the Appeal.
The excellent work being done by the
Christian Commission of the Young Mems
Christian Association in the army and
navy is bearing even increased fruit as
the work goes on. The work is most
effective at Camp Alger and Jacksonville,
and encouraging letters are being received
from young men who have come in con-
tact with the work. At Chickamauga
among the troops encamped there, the
work is wonderful. Mr.. Mckee has 1t on
good authority that the attendance on
the Sunday meetings Is more than equal
to the entire attendance upon the thea
tire for the whole week. and hundreds OF
men are processing a change OF heart
A letter from the secretary in charge
OF Camp Bob Taylor" at Knoxville,
Tenn, says that the work there is also
proving most effective. The tents are
being greatly used. and on the night or

took Jesus Christ as their personal Sa-
viour
The great blessing that Is to come out
or all this work Is not ooiy that so many
men have been brought to a change of

the work will be made permanent In the
army and navy.
