IN SHADOW.

The world was fair, and very fair;
Blue sky and sunshine everywhere,
But mid the Towering OF the world
One little bud kept closely curled-
In vain the wooing sunshine smiled,
The little bud was not beguiled.
But when the night wept wild with rain,
Upon the desolated plain,
Night, through her shadows, saw unclose
The petals OF the hidden rose;
A rose of love- to scent the years

amined with any care are those at Mancay-
an about five miles west of Mount Data)
and two or three other localities within a
few miles of Mancayan. The deposits of
Mancayan are described as veins Of rich
ore. reaching seven meters in width and ar
ranged in groups. Mean assays are said
to show 16 per cent of "copper" mainly as
tetrahedrfte and allied ores. The gangue
Is quartz. The country rock Is described
as large quartZite lens embedded in a
great mass of trachyte. An attempt has
been made by white men to work these de-
Posits. but with no considerable success.
The failure does not seem to have been
due to the quality or quantity of ore found.
Lead and Silver.
A lead mine has been partially devel-
of the same name.
The most important deposit of argentifer-
Gus galena is said to be at Torrijos. on the
small island of Martinique latitude 13 de-

silver, grams of gold and 565.5 Kilograms
of lead.
ores occur. but are worked only for the
gold they contain.
There is iron ore in abundance in Luzon,
Carabello, Zebu, Panay, and. doubtless in
other islands In Luzon it is found in the
provinces of Laguna, Pamranga and Ca
marines Norte, but principally in Bulacan.
The finest deposits are in the last-named
province, near small settlement named
Camachin, which lies in latitude 10 degrees
minutes and longitude 124 degrees Al
minutes east of Madrid A small industry
exists here, wrought iron being produced in
a sort of bloomery and manufactured into
plowshares. The process has not been de-
scribed in detail so far 1 know. 1t would
appear that charcoal pig iron might be pro-
duced to some advantage in this region.
The lignites of the archipelago are proba bly,
unsuitable for iron-blast furnaces.
Quicksilver.
Rumors of the occurrence of this ma tai
in Panay and Leyte have failed of vertical
ticn. Accidental losses of this metal for
reports of the discovery of deposits and
others are not seldom mistaken for i'm
pure cinnabGr.
Nonmetallic Substances.
Sulphur deposits abound about active and
extinct volcanoes in the Philippines. In
Luzon the principal sulphur deposits are in
Daclan, in the province of Benguet, and at
Colasi, in Camarines. The finest deposit in
the archipelago is said to BE- on the little
island of Biliram, which lies to the north
west of Leyte.
Marble of fine quality occurs on the small
island of Romblon latitude II degrees 81
minutes). 1t is much employed in churches
in Manila for baptsmal fonts and other
purposes. Marbles are also quarried at
Montalban in the province of Manila, and
at BinangOnan in the province of Marorg.
There are concessions for mining kaolin
at Losbanos in Laguna province.
Pearl fisheries exist in the Sulu Arc hi
pelago, and are said to form important
source of wealth.

course it is not always possible to tell
whether the consignees are democrats or
republicans, or white or black. 1t is said
that one well known Richmond firm re-
fused to fill a negro's order for a large
number of guns as he was suspected of be-
ing the agent of a republican club.
The total number of rifles and shotguns
sent into North Carolina from Richmond
during the past ten days will probably
reach 300, and the number OF revolvers
shipped will bring the total number up
nearly if not quite, to 500. Still the de
mand is not supplied. and one dealer stated
that he could send $50 more rifles into the
state If he had them in stock. The same
dealer has also shipped large quantities of
ammunition.
Many of these purchases have been made
in person, and in every case the men said
they expected to have use for the arms to-
morrow. The purchasers went about the
business of preparation for trouble in the
coolest manner imaginable. They said they
thought there would be use for guns the
day of election. and they wanted to be
prepared
The impression made upon the minds or
the dealers was that unless the negroes con-
sent to white supremacy in North Carolina
there will be plenty Of use for rifles to-
morrow.

he Disturbing Element.

The republicans are firmly of the opinion
that they could easily have returned Mr..
Thorp to the House from the fourth but
for the entering into the canvass of Mr..
Thomas l.. Jones, the colored lawyer of
Mecklenburg county, who practices law in
Washington.
1t is true, they say, that Mr.. Jones some
days ago withdrew from the field and
asked his followers to vote for Mr.. Thorp.
nominated Broker Ellis, also colored in
Jones place, and it is feared that with
Thorp and Ellis as candidates on the re-
publican side, Epes, the democratic nomi-
nee, will secure the coveted prize OF election
without much trouble.
AS for the ninth district, where, as above
stated, Walker and Rhea are the republic
can and democratic nominees, respectively,
the best posted republicans will make no
prediction further than that the district is
in doubt.
AS might be expected the condition of
political affairs in North Carolina is at
tracing great attention here, and the
democrats of the old north state have the
hearty sympathy, and VIII have, If needed,
the active assistance of their Virginia
democratic brethren. Indeed, there are not
a few leading democrats who express the
opinion that the time is rapidly approach
ing-and will not be longer deferred than
two years hence-before there will be as
bitter fight in eastern Virginia, or more
properly speaking, the black belt as is
pending in North Carolina
Arms to North Carolina.
According to the statements of prominent
dealers Richmond is doing a big business
in supplying arms and ammunition to North
Carolina for possible use on election day.
During the past ten days large numbers of
Winchesters, shot guns and revolvers have
been sent into the eastern and central por-
tionS of the state, and there have also been
large shipments of ammunition.
Some of the orders come in by letter, but
the majority come by wire The pur-
cliasers seem in hurry. Many of the or
ders are from individuals, indeed the ma
jority are of this character, but in several
Instances clubs have sent in good sized
orders. The dealers say that white men
have evidently written the majority of the
orders received though some of them APP

Copper.

Copper ores are reported from a great
number of localities in the Philippines
They are said to occur in the following

uEeXplored. is full of possibilities. but as
yet no important copper deposit is known

work the deposit in Masbete but no success
seems to have been attained. On the other
hand. northern Luzon contains copper re-
g.on which is unquestionably valuable. The
best-known portion of this region lies about
Mount Data, peak given as -, 800 meters"
in height, lying in latitude Ii degrees 50
minutes. longitude l2O degrees Is minutes
east of Greenwich. or 12i degrees IS min
utes east of Madrid. The range of which
Data forms one peak trends due north to
Cape Lacay-Lacay, and forms boundary
for all the provinces infringing upon it.
Data itself lies in the province of Lapan-
smelted by the natives from time imme-
mortal and before Magellan discovered the
Philippines. The process is a complicated
one. based on the same principles as the
method of smelling sulpho-salts of this
metal in Europe and America. 1t consists
in alternate partial roasting and reduc-
tiors 10 matte" and eventually to black
copper. 1t is generally believed that this
process must have been introduced from
China or Japan. 1t is practiced only by
enc peculiar tribe of natives, the lgorrotes
who are remarkable in many ways
Vague reports and the routes by which
copper smelted by natives comes to market
indicate that there are copper mines in
various portions of the Cordillera Central
