No Havana Tobacco in the Market

"There is not q pound of Havana
tobacco in the Market" said Mil
waukee manufacturer of cigars who
was asked about the effect of the Cuban
iusurrection upon his business. with
the exception of few firms that
bought large stocks far in advance,
the makers of cigars are now COM
PEELED to use domestic tobacco. We
were lucky enough to buy q very large
quantity of Havana leaf three yesrs
ago. At that time we made the pur
chase, not on account of the Cuban
war, bit because we looked for changes
in the tariff which would make it to
our advantage to lay in as much tobac-
CO as possible before the new law went
into effect. The tariff changes we ex-
pected were not made, and we consid-
cred ourselves money out OF pocket by
reason of the large sum tied up in the
inve stment. Now, however, we are
mighty g ad to have that tobacco. If
we were to put it on the market today
we could get three times what it cost
US. The tobacco fields of Cuba have
been utterly laid waste during the in
surrectiOn. Even if the war were to
be ended this year and the island paci-
fed, SO that tillage could begin at
once, it would be two years before
there would be q crop Of Havana
grown. The lard would have to be
prepared, after all this burning and
marrying. and one year will be re-
quired for that. Taking into account
the time necessary to cure the leaf
after it is harvested, believe that it
will be five years before there will be
good Havana tobacco in the market,
even if the war is speedily ended. The
wholesale leaf houses are sending out
some funny circulars. I received one
today which offers me American
Havana whatever that may be. or
course it is domestic tobacco, but the
circular praises it as though it were
real Vuelta Abejo. This tobacco is
quoted ct 81 % to 81 80 per pound. We
could get s. pound for our Havana,
if we cared to sell. We are forced to
kes D it, however, in order to maintain
our brands, and If the war don't end
befo we exhaust the supply, we will
have to lay those brands aside.'

RTcH MFYTco FIND.
One of the Most Important Discover
les Yet Made.
Enterprise. Chihuahua, Mexico.)

enterprise. Chihuahua, Afexico)
An important discovery of an
enormous body of free milling and
high grade carbonate ore at Pulpito,
promises to bring this old time mining
district into renewed activity and
prominence.
The find was made during the pres
ent season by j. S. Collinson, who
brought in 500 pounds of samples this
week, and he says he has twenty tons
of the same ore on the dump. The
samples brought in, Mr.. Collinson
claims, are of but average grade and
they assay fully so per cent lead and
fifty ounces of silver to the ton.
Mr.. Collinson says he has noun
tain Of similar ore in sight. 1t is
situated north of ALBANIA and about
sixty miles from Chihuahua He has
been engaged in prospecting and de-
veloDment work on the mine for some
months past and the mine can be
reached over a good wagon road.
He is in town for the purpose OF
buying more machinery and employ
ing more men. He intends to put
thirty men to work Immediately He
says there are large quantities of car
Donate ore and silver near his mine
and that his neighborhood is a good
country for prosDectors.
Mt. 1olllnSOn Is We'll knOWH mere
and his statements are thoroughly re-
liable. He is not in the market to
sell his mine and has ample capital
with which to further develop his
claim.
He has haa experience in mining and
prospecting in all the principal mining
camps of Nevada, California and
South Africa, and he thinks his sec
ton of Chihuahua is. without doubt
the coming camp of Mexico. For men
who understand mining. and especially
for those yho are willing to under
take the arduous life of a prosoector,
there are good chances of striking it
rich in the Puloito district.
The SAMPLES OF ore lay in the patio
of the Robinson House for several
days this week and were the objects
of attraction for all the miners in
town.
This find of Mr.. Collinson is con-
sidered one of the richest and most
important discoveries made recently in
this part of the state.

Visiting the Red Wing yesterday, our
reporter found the prospective Carr
Fork bonanza looking better than at
any previous time in its history, says
the Bingham Bulletin. With the excep-
ton of raise for air, 400 feet in and up
forty of the 100 feet, nothing is being
done in the No. 3 tunnel, though Super
intendent MeCarrick says that as soon
as there is circulation, the work of
driving the No. deep into the hill TO
adjoining claims will begin.
The present good showing is in No. 2
tunnel. 1t has now been driven about
500 feet, ana. at breast about twelve
inches Of high-grade and two feet of
very fine milling ore is showing. Also,
Immediately over the breast a stope eX-
poses a face of milling ore four feet
wide by eight feet long. Six men are
breaking down in this and two smaller
Slopes, and the output is very crafty
ing. There are fifty tons of milling in
side and 200 tons in the bin which
Foreman Fred Lewis states was broken
since Nov. Is. It is to be treated at the
Dewey, when that mill can begin on it
some time this month The stopping
force is then to be increased. In the
1irst-class bin are about fifteen tons,
and shipment win be made in few
days-the last, a twenty-ton lot hav
ing gone out two or three weeks ago.
Part OF the lot now accommodating is
from the stope where 1Oo-oUnce silver
ore was encountered, and it all carries
q good per cent of lead.
No. tunnel has to date produced
about $50 tons OF first-class ore. Pres
ent indications are that within a few
weeks these figures viii be duplicated,
and that the Red Wing is entering up
on a season cf large and profitable pro-
duction.

ELECTRICITY IN MINING.
Power Which Is Rapidly Filling a
Long-felt Want.


John McGhie, in Casters Magazine
for November, says: Progress in the
introduction of electric mining ma
chinery has been, to an extent
hampered by considerations which
did not enter largely into street
railway and lighting work, but which
have played an important role in the
electric mining field. In the case of
electric sheet railways and electric
lighting stations. new industries were
to be created which for capital might
appeal to the whole world. There was
no question Of e1tinguishing the value
of an existing Investment
In arguing electricity into a mine,
however the mine operator has not
only to consider the question of fu-
ture benefit, but also what must appear
to him the more serious one of a pres
ent loss, and il is a known fact that old
apparatus assumes in the mind of the
owner a fictitious value as soon as the
question arises of discarding it, and
purchasing new apparatus in its place.
Furthermore, the change involved not
only the sUpersession of mechanical and
animal power in the mine itself; it in
volved the installation of a complete
steam and electrical generating plant at
the same time. Electricity, Therefore,
has been compelled to show that its

mean future economy, but also, that its
economy would be sufficiently large to
compensate for the extinction of the
value Of the apparatus at present in
use That it has been shown capable
of this is perhaps best demonstrated
by the very large number of mines now
using electrical apparatus, and the still
larger number IN which the use of cleo
tricity is proposed and almost de-
cided
It viii hardly be disputed at this date
that electricity is the ideal power for
use in the operation Of mines, and that
the advantages il offers and the bene-
fits which accrue from its use. cannot
be edu4lled or even approached by any
other known power, whether animal,
steam or air. a power that needs heavy
piping; that demands expensive pro-
lection in cold weather and constant
expensive maintenance: that cannot be
transmitted satisfactorily over long dis
tances, and that operates machinery de-
manding constant attention, compares
poorly with a power that requires two
or three slender wires only for its
transmission; that gives of no heat. no
smoke. nor moisture; that is unaffected

The rights and wrongs of the matter
