Mills and Money.

It is estimated, based on the reports
of the state mining bureau of Califor-
MIA and reports from Arizona, that
there are, not including mines in
Sonora and Lower California, Mexico,
over eleven thousand mines in the
southwest, of which one-half are being
actively worked. The number of
hands employed cannot be ascertained
with any degree of accuracy. but it is
figured that these mines have capac-
ity of about 7,400 stamps. In addition
to the stamp mills there are the cyan
ide plants, reduction and concentrat-
ing plants and hydraulic plants used
in placer diggings where water is OBJ
tainable for such purposes.
The amount of capital invested in
the great southwest, not including
that invested in Mexican properties
situated in Sonora and Lower Cali
fornia, is estimated at $210,000,0O0
Large as is the amount official returns
southwestern region show yield
equivalent to a fraction over 8 per
cent on the investment The gross
output includes gold, silver ores and
base bullion, but does not include-it
is we'll again to repeat-the value of
these metals from Sonora and Lower
California mines, only the product of
the mines of western and southern
Arizona, southern California and such
other mining sections of California as
have, in this article, been embodied
in the great southwestern Diego

The fact that our Government per-
mitted an independent examination Of
the wreck of the Maine by Spanish ma
val officers and afforded them all pos
sible information and facilities for such
examination, it is claimed, goes long
way 10 support the theory or conjecture
that our own Board Of Inquiry Is quite
convinced that the ship was blown up
by some exterior force. Had the board,
It is argued, been convinced that the
disaster was the result of internal ex,
plosion, and that the blame is wholly
ours, Il would have demurred to any
Spanish investigation and have in
formed the Spanish officials that it was
unnecessary This may be legitimate
speculation, though it may turn out TO
be erroneous, as the Government gave
its consent before the court of inquiry
arrived at Havana There is no viola
ton of good faith in indulging in such
theories concerning the disaster as Well
known facts justify. What is objec-
tionaple, and worse, is the indulgence

lation the exaggeration Of news and
the attempt TO anger and arouse the

There is not the slightest evidence
to warrant the assertion of the San
Francisco Examiner" that the people
are irrItated at the delay of the inquiry
into the cause of the loss of the Maine.
1t is not TO be found in the expressions
of the people in market place, social
gathering or organized assembly. 1t is
not t. be discovered in the attitude of
spresentativea and reputable press of
the country. The fact is that there has
been no delay. The procedure has been
az rapid as could have been expected or
as could have been had consistent with
a sincere desire to ascertain the truth.
The lurid press is at its wits ends for
sensation in the matter, and the only ir-
