Some one who has given the matter considerable attentive detail figures that it last year cost 90 cents to pro duce dollar of gold in California, and that the same amount produced in Ala bama cost S. 05 and in Wyoming S5. 56. Ii is also stated that in Colorado it cost but 50 cents to produce dollar, and in Montana 45 cents. These figures are never authentic and rarely trustworthy says the Mining & Scientific Press. It has been assumed by those who have given the matter considerable attention in every age, and in every nation and community, that every dollar of gold produced cost dollar. This rule probably holds good in all localities, except the Klondike, where each dollar produced probably costs 5, leaving out the immediate loss of life and the slower suicide of thousands more.

 We are sorry to see newspaper in Arizona poking fun at another of the same political faith, but in this instance we must side with the Republican, for the so-called editorial wisdom uf our Stafford contemporary is nothing but a succession of empty hoo.s, lost on the night wind.

The Federation of Miners of the West propose establishing home for aged and broken-down miners. The building is to cost $50. 900, and the in- tentiou is to have the institution sup ported by the miners unions of Arizo- na, Nevada, Montana, Utah and Colo rado. Carson and Virginia, Nev., are talked of as suitable locations. A simi- lar idea has been affirmatively acted upon by the California State Miners Association, but has not AS yet assumed tangible shape. Mining x Scientific Press.

All Spanish mail passing through the United States is now seized by the gov ernment and sent to the dead letter office for examination. A large amount of mail has been confscated, and some letters examined are of very great importance to our military and naval authorities. A good deal of official mail has been seized, among which are reports made by Gen. Blanco and other Spanish officers in Cuba to the Madrid government. The seizure of mail is very unusual, but justified iu the pres ent instance. It has never been resort ed to by the postal department since the war of 1872, although during the rebellion latters were frequently inter cepted by orders of the war department or department of justice. Letters mailed in the United States and bearing the address of the writer are not opened but returned. Many letters and off cial documents examined contain valu- able information in regard to the con dition of affairs and plans of defense in Cuba.

COPPER IN DEMAND.

Copper remains firm at a slight ad- vance over Inst weeks highest quota tions. Eastern manufacturers are all kept very busy, and spot copper is so scarce that it is no longer obtainable in any quantity. Similar conditions pre- vail on the London market. Prices have advanced to f5l 17s, G., three months prompt. From Paris comes the same note. Latest advices are that copper shares have never been in such great demand as ut the present time, and the highest prices for good copper stocks are being offered.
 One reason for the present enormous demand is due to the war between the United States and Spain, by reason of which a very large additional quantity has been used in hastily finishing ves- sels, and furnishing them with electric systems. And it Is a matter of interest to note that the two countries now at war are the two greatest copper -produ- cling countries in the world. The Rio Tinto copper mines of Spain have been among the most celebrated for many years, and last year they paid profit to their stockholders of 40 per cent.
 Another item worthy of notice in re- spect to copper mines is that the Cop per Queen mines at Bisbee. Ariz., will, it is estimated. give their stockholders this year net profit of $2,O00, ,0o0. - Los Angeles Review.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA, December g.
'speciaL)-The large barge Quinnebaug,
which was reported as having gone down
on Scotland Light Ship. with the barge
Helicorn, both OF which were being towed
by the tug Ocean King. from Norfolk for
Bath Maine. Is afioat somewhere on the
Atlantic, probably three hundred miles
east OF the Virginia capes. The British
Steamship Trojan Captain Torkilddsen,
OF the Donaldson Line, arrived here to-
day from Glasgow. and her master re-
ported having sighted the Quinnebaug an
chored at sea, about three hundred miles
east of this port. The barge was riding
easily, and in condition almost perfect
ly sound. She was not leaking and had
apparently nothing the matter with her.
Signals not being responded 10, Captain
Torkilddsen boarded the Quinnebaug and
found that there was not a living soul
aboard the vessel except a yellow cat,
which was taken on the Trojan. An eff
fort was made to tow the barge. but with
out result as II was found that the rudder
was jammed hard 10 port and could lot
be righted. A crew was placed on the
barge, steam made In her engine. anchors
were raised, a hawser was attached. and
the Trojan again started into port, but
had to abandon the barge after 10 horrs
of futile work, as no progress could be
made. 1t Is mystery TO Captain
Torkilddsen, why the crew Of the Quiane-
baug should have left their ship end
where they can be now. There Is plenty
to eat aboard. The fact that the crew
has not been heard from makes IL oossi-
BILE that they were taken aboard some
sailing craft.
The city Of Newport News, tonight took
out injunction papers restraining the

this step. since the complications with

that the suit OF the railroad company
