PHILIPPINES WEALTH.
Report OF Extensive Gold Deposits
Found Near fhe Sea.

Washington, June 10.-Ambassado
Hay at London has prepared IA report
on the Philippine islands, from which
it appears that the islands possess a
vast wealth of minerals awaiting the
hand Of the developer.
An expert extensively quoted, Frank
Karuth, says that extensive gold de-
posits have been opened up quite near
the sea, assuring large output for
many years to come. It has also been
proven that, they extend over a wide
district. He knows of no other part
of the world, the Alaska and Treadwell
mines excepted, where pay ore is found
within few hundred yards of the an
chorage of sea-going vessels. So far
the fringe only of the auriferous for
nation has been touched. There is no
|stream that finds its way into the Pa
.cific whose sand does not at least pan
the color of gold. while heavy nuggets
are sometimes brought down from the
Sierras, which are promising fields for
hydraulic mining. Alluvial gold is
found in the island of Mindano, and
there are extensive copper deposits in
Luzon. While no true coal has been
found, there is Ignite of very good
quality, quite useful for steam vessels.
This is in great quantity. Roughly
washed alluvial gold has been found
to contain rubies and hyacinths. There
is no want of labor at cheap rates, and
on the whole the general conditions for
mining are exceptionally favorable.
Some facts of interest aside from
mining are noted. For instance, the
Philippine archipelago contains nearly
2,0Ge islands. Two of them are larger
than Ireland-LuZon with $4,000 and
I.indano with $4,000 square miles, The
geological formation indicates that the
Philippines are peaks and table lands
of a submerged continent which in an
early period extended to Australia.
Earthquakes are not infrequent. The
highest mountain is Apo in Mindano,
over 5000 feet in height. The rainfall
is not excessive, nor is it continuous.
The climate is very healthful for a
tropical region, and diseases such as
yellow fever are unknown. The ma
tives are mostly Malays, but in the in
terror are remnants of race OF Pap
nan origin. The author of the pampf
let speaks in the highest terms of the
character of the natives, who, he says,
in physical and mental characteristics
nav fairly claim a place among the
higher names inscribed on the worlds
national scale The family tie is very
strong, children are orderly, parents
respected and the race has an inbred
courtesy and prudence and ready hos
pitality is never missing. Eight mil
lion natives inhabit the Philippines,
food resources are ample and famine is
unknown,

MINING CONGRESS-.

The first session of the international
mining congress will assemble in Salt
Lake City, Utah, on Wednesday, July
9Th, and continue in session four days.
The objects of the convention are
to secure national legislation as may
be calculated to promote the business
interests and development of the re-
sources of the mining industry in
North and South America; to bring to-
gether mining men and investors; to
increase reciprocal trade among them;
to discuss such questions are are nat
urally suggested by its objects; to Gull
tivate acquaintance, fraternal feeling
and hearty cooperation among various
mining, commercial and labor bodies
represented; and especially to take
under advisement the importance OF
the creation by congress of a depart
ment to be known as the department OF
mines and mining, thus securing a
cabinet officer that represents an in
terest which affects more than one
third of the people of the United
States.
The basis of representation in the
congress will be as follows:
The governor Of each state and ter
ritory to name thirty delegates at
large.
The county commissioners of each
county to name five delegates.
The mayor of each city and town to
name five delegates; and one addition
al for each 10000 population or frac-
ton thereof.
Each mining bureau to name five
delegates.
Each mining exchange to name five
delegates.
Each real estate exchange to name
five delegates.
Each chamber of commerce to name
five delegates.
Each board of trade to name five del
egates.
Each miners union to name five del
egates.
Each trade and labor assembly to
name five delegates.
All other commercial bodies to name
five delegates.

give in this article even a partial list
ties, but as evidence of what il now
being done, and what will be done the
following copper properties may be
cited:
The United Verde in Yavapai county
has for the last eight months been
shipping copper, running over 80 per
cent at the rate of 5000, 900 pounds a
month to New Jersey. The company
employs 700 men and is the chief sup
port of the town of Jerome, having a
population of 5000. Besides copper
the United Verde produces about ST.
O0O, 900 in gold and silver The prop
erty pays about 100000 annually
over all expenses
The Copper Queen is another big
copper property, yielding about $1,000
600 annually to its owners. There are
many others paying proportionately
wei. Then there are the South Bisbee
Copper Mining company's properties.
now being opened up with every pros
pect of proving as valuable as those OF
the Copper Queen, which adjoin them.
In addition to their original holdings
this company lately acquired the
eleven patented claims known as the
Coulter claims, or Campbell group.
With these and some others which
they have acquired, they now control
sixty-two claims, all OF which adjoin
the claims of the Copper Queen. Phelps
Dodgs & Co. of New York are largely
interested in copper properties in the
Bisbee district-Los Angeles Review.

A PRoTEGE OF MR.. HERBERT.
Hobson's Entrance to Annapolis
Hero's Love of Big Words.

Junior Lieutenant Richmond P. Hob.
son, who was selected to command
che Merrimac an its daredevil voyage
into the harbor. was appointed to the
naval academy in 1885 by Secretary
derbert, then congressman, who was
an intimate friend of Hobson's father.
with whom Herbert had served in the
confederate army. He graduated No.
2 in his class at the naval academy.
and No. in the class at Greenwich.
where he was sent for a supplemental
course in naval construction. He was
highly respected while at the naval
academy, although he held none of the
cadet offices.
He was the type of sedate and studi-
Gus cadets, who are somewhat irrever-
emily known at Annapolis as "tin an
GELS" term in the parlance of the
naval cadets which implies no disre-
spect or ridicule. Among those quail
ties which distinguished him with his
fellow students was the practice of
using big Words and today officers
who served with him at Annapolis as
4 young man recall with evident relish
some of the phrases which Cadet Hob
son used on various occasions. While
being subjected to the practice of haz-
ing, quite customary at that time, he
interrupted the proceedings long
enough to remark with much dignity
and feeling: Es
Il do not desire to, nor will 1 toIer-
ate any more of your scurrilous con-
tumely."
On another occasion, while engaged
in fishing, he referred to his. obvious
occupation when approached by an.idle
inquirer as being simply engaged in
piscatorial pursuits casual remark
of his which soon became a pet phrase
of the class to which he belonged.
The selection of Constructor Hob
son shows the confidence reposed in
him by Admiral Sampson. There was
some comment in the navy department
in regard to the preference shown Hob
son over the line officers, who were
probably without exception willing to
undertake the responsibility and great
risks of the expedition.
Hobson's duties on board the flag
ship were mainly those Of an observer
and his functions included mainly the
preparation of technical reports of the
performance of ships and the effect OF
attack from modern guns. He obtain
ed this billet at his own urgent solicit
tation and on the recommendation of
Chief Constructor Hichborn. There
was some opposition to the detail of
Hobson to this duty, but he worked in
defatigably to secure the assignment.
and Secretary Long authorized him to
take with him on board the flagship of
the north Atlantic feet the three stu
dents at the naval academy who were
under instructions in naval construc-
dispatch to a Chi
cagO paper.

GOOD ADVICE.

Capital will soon find its way into
the Development of new mines if the
assurance is given that the ore mined
can be produced at rates which Will
render its production profitable. Thus
both mining and milling will be made
profitable and ore from the grass roots
will pay for development, and obviate
the necessity for more depth
A few hundred dollars spent in ju-
dicious experimenting will bring forth
the proper results. The greatest faults
of large syndicates is that they are
prone to erect immense treatment
plants on the recommendation OF the
expert who examines the property and
proceed to development later. If the
Gre changes in character or the process
proves a failure owing to the presence
of metals that add little to its value,
the result is a great expense with no
remuneration, a busted company and
a "black eye for the locality.
Develop first and do it extensively.
Then find a cheap treatment for the
low grade ores, if a smelter is not con-
yenient or if the treatment charges are
exorbitant Stamp mills will work
proftably on but few New Mexico
properties, but processes are in exist
ence that will treat nearly every
known form of ore found in the terri
tory and extract from 80 to 100 per
cent of the assay value.
Do not accept the statement OF the
biologists or mining expert as full tes-
timony; but secure full and adequate
tests on large quantities of ore and let
a competent metallurgist attend to the
experiments. 1t is within his prov
ince and his alone.
The miner with the large body OF
low grade ore has a treasure indeed,
and it needs but the magic wand OF
science to transform it into current
coin of the realm-Tucson Citizen.
