The country rock immediately surround
ing the paying veins is frequently occu-
pied by network of small cash veins. fiil
ed with bull quartz.
The method used in mining these narrow
veins is to take out the country
rock next 10 the hanging wall allowing
the ore TO stand. hoist or store this waste
rock. and then wedge out the ore. Flat
tened noduies of ore. which prove eS-
tremely rich in free gold. are frequently
found imbedded in the rock OF the foot
wall and connected to the main lead by
slender stringers. One nodule removed
last winter weighed forty pounds and was
worth $3.50
Here is a country whose history is an
exception 10 the general rule, that placer
mining precedes quartz mining. Aliuvial
gold has never been found in this country.
except in quantities too small to work.
One OF the most credible explanations is
that the great ice glacier carried il all into
the sea. Most OF the mines have their own
plants for treating the ores. with all IA
cilities for separating the gold. The ore
first goes through the mortars. the ;ailinss
go to the COMMENTATORS and these concen-
traitors after roasting go tn the chlorin-
ators. Although Nova Scotia is a British
province, 1t is a fact that English capital
invested there in gold mining has always
met failure. The men who are getting the
most returns from their money are the
Americans.
For example: I have in mind an En-
glish company who paid $4,000 cash for
three mines that had been putting out a
superior quality of ore. After retaining
them for three years and endeavoring 10
establish a regular output of ore, they sold
the entire property with all the improve
ment to an American for $s.G1. The lat
ter, after consulting an American engineer.
reopened the property on new lines and
today his mine is yielding handsome profits.
Instances like this are not rare by any
means. On the other hand English CAPT
tai invested in coal mining has met with
great success. In justice 10 the managers
Ii must be admitted that the Nova Scotia
coal mines are models of neatness.
Numerous seams OF rich block bitumi-
nous coal, suitable for steam and cooking
purposes, ranging in thickness from five
to twelve feet, are found throughout the
peninsula. Extensive deposits of limonite
and other ores OF iron are frequently found
near the coal, thus bringing to minimum
the cost of transportation OF coke or ore
to blast furnaces and steel works. All
these favorable conditions are realized in
Washington. We have, understand. iron.
coal limestone. fiux in the same localities,
and IL Is to be hoped that we shall soon
discontinue the importing OF pigiron from
England and that our own blast furnaces
will supply the demand to the coast
states"

ATE ALL THE HORSES.
Only 143 Animals Out of 200 Turn
ed Over to Shafter

Copyright, 1898, by Associated Press.)
Santiago, Aug. 13.-There are two
ways of looking at the value of horse
flesh here since the American occupa-
ton. Alive and kicking, as horse flesh
pure and simple, it is dirt cheap. You
can buy an animal for a IS gold piece,
with all the trappings thrown in. Dead,
as meat, at so much a pound in the
market, it comes high-in more ways
than one. The reasons for the discrep-
ancy in values between a live and a
dead horse just now are obvious. Cen
eral Skaters report says that on July
"a, 143 horses were turned over by Gen
eral Toral as the sum total of the Span
ish cavalry under his command. It is
number that should have been turned
over, but history in this case must re-
late the why's and wherefores of the
shrinkage.
When Santiago surrendered on July
II, eleven thousand Spaniards stood in
urgent need, first of food, second Of
cash. These crafty Castilians be-
thought themselves of an ingenious
plan for satisfying their lust of flesh
and gold. They knew our boys would
enjoy a repaSt of fresh meat" after
their severe diet of bacon and hard
tack and would be glad to pay almost
any price in the local restaurant for it.
So a gOodly number of swtnneyed
chargers and tough old war horses were
put to the sword and distributed at
fancy prices to the inns and chop houses
of the district for the especial benefit
of the Americans.
For time this horse flesh brought
excellent prices but after many equine
steaks had been served, devoured and
paid for, the American troops gradually
began to realize what they were eating
and would have no more of it. A slump
in the market followed.
In the chaotic condition of Spain's
military regime in the city orderlies
would mount their officers steeds and
ride into the market place, offering
! ~, re To fb0 first
most they could get In this simple
| manner, unhampered by the formality
| Of a bill of sale, many horses changed
! hands, always to the advantage of the
| seller, who was getting something for
| what had cost him nothing and incid-
entally depriving Uncle Sam of law
| full prizes of war And thus, at least
partially is explained the fact that the
| Spanish cavalry horses turned over to
| General Shafter had dwindled to the
| ridiculous figure of 143.

COST OF THE WAR.
1t Amounts to S98, 100000 Up
to Today.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Although the
war with Spain lasted only ia days, it
is estimated that it has cost the gov
ernment so far $3.50, 600, 900, of which
$9S, ,000 900 has been actually paid out of
the treasury. Beginning with March 1,
when the first increases in the expendi-
lures in anticipation of war became ap-
parent in the daily expenditures of the
treasury, the actual disbursements of
this amount have been approximately
as follows:
March army $780, 900; navy $2,4OO. 900;
total SO, 900, 900.
April, army $1,000, 900; navy $500. 900;
total $11 900, 900.
May, army $12, 900; navy 7,0000 900;
total $19, 900, 000
June, army SIG. 500, 900; navy Sc, 500. 900;
total s23 O00, 900.
July, army $29, 900 900; navy $500, 900;
total $35 O00, 600
To August 18th. army $5, 500. 900; navy
$1,5O0, 600; total 1000, 900.
Total charged to war department $685.
100000; total charged to navy depart
ment $32, 700, 900; grand total SOS, 600 000
The appropriations made by congress
on account of the war aggregated about
$3.50, ,00O 900 and cover the time to Jan
uary l. 1899.
