for many months and they have become

would refuse TO patrol their beats under
such circumstances.
One Of the first things to be done by
the American officers of occupation will

claim that they are owed wages to the
extent of 81, zoo, 900. They have fought
for three years in the field and they
have been paid in neither money nor
glory. This is only one example.
Of course every one in Cuba knows
that this state Of affairs is due to the
corruption in army circles. The generals
and higher officers get rich while their
subordinates do not receive even the
small wages to which they are entitled.
No wonder the Spanish officials are loath
to give up such opportunities.
Under the Spanish rule Havana has
usually had half dozen kinds of po.
licemen, OF late years there have been
the barbor police, the municipal police,
the military police, the sanitary police,
the governors police and the orden pub
licos, or regular police. All these forces
still exist nominally, but the failure of
the authorities to pay them has caused

is being done under the direction of
General Wood. He has selected for the
service the best of the Cuban soldiers
and has placed at the head of the force
General ]. d. Castillo, a gallant in
surgent leader, who is in every way
fitted for the position.
General Castillo is native of San
tiago, but was educated in Paris and
Philadelphia. He received the degree of
nj. ID. from the University of Pennsyl-
vania and served for two years ia the
United States navy as surgeon. 1t was
in this capacity that he accompanied

General Castillo has charge of the

Cost IF Silver

A distinguished American ass. known
to fame as Edward Atkinson, the stat
istican, alleges that 1.-The average cost
of mining silver all over the world is
% cents per ounce" The conclusion
of this educated idiot is so palpably alb
surd as to call forth no argument in
rebuttal. 1t is on par with the weak,
dwelling statements usually made to
bolster up the single standard cause.
If silver mining was done the world
over by coolies, working for sow-belly
and beans and cheered up by the hope
of death, freight and smelter charges
would run the average much higher
than Atkinson's figure.
The average cost OF mining any met
al must include its extraction from
ores. It is not SILVER until it has
been treated, but is merely crude ore.
But if Atkinson wishes to figure the
cost of merely taking the ore out of
the ground, ON the basis of present
wages, his figures are no nearer the
truth. Possibly this mathematical
genius has figured silver wholly as a by
product, charging up the cost OF its
extraction to the copper or gold found
with it. But this wonld not cover sill
yer mining "all over the world"
In Mexico, for instance, lower wages
are paid than in the United States, but
more men are required to extract the
same amount of ore, so the great statis-
tican gains little in that direction. In
countries where low wages prevail,
crude appliances and inadequate ma
chinery means the employment Of q
hundred per cent more men than
would be otherwise required. We are,
therefore, at loss to discover the ba
sis upon which Atkinson makes his
figures.
No intelligent man will venture a
definite opinion as to the average cost
of producing silver, as many conditions
environ the work of extraction and
treatment. II so far as Montana mines
are concerned, every ounce of silver
produced has cost an average Of &l.29.
Some mines have produced the metal
rs a by-product at lesser figure than
this, while in other mines the cost has
been infinitely greater.-Western Min
ing World.

New Prospecting Device

E. S. Glover, of Tacoma, Wash, has
invented prospecting device, says the
Ledger, which he has tested very thor
oughly, 1t consists of boring and
drilling device adapted to bring to the
surface the material through which the
hole is made. 1t will work through
earth, hard pan, ice or frozen soil and
will pierce rock or frozen gravel to any
desired depth. 1t can be used to pros
pect the sands and graveis at the bot
tom of streams, lakes, marsh or bog,
through water or any soft material. 1t
can be worked by one man and carried
anywhere together with his other outfit
and provisions. 1t weighs camplete 80
pounds. 1t will enable the miner to
ascertain in a few hours or days, the
value of claim that would require
many days or weeks to prospect with
out its use. Arrangements have been
made to manufacture it in Tacoma.

Explanations are cheap commodity
in political market. The material of
which they are made are as cheap as
dirt in desert and those who make
them up are as poorly paid US women
for making overails.
A case in point: With the beginning
OF this year there was great reduction
in wages in the manufacturing towns
of New England and the explanation is
that New England labor cannot com
pete with the cheap labor in the fac
tories in the South. The fact is, that
the principal labor in the factories of
the South is OF the skilled labor from
the factories of the North. 1t was i'm
ported from the North aud in the first
days Of factory work, it would not sub.
nit to any reductions. The true cause
Of the reduction is: Prosperity does
not prosper as the advance agent said
it would.

his wife. He became Il miner and
amassed considerable property before
he died. His widow afterward married
John C. Scribner, of San Andreas. He
died a few years ago, says the New

The lawyer appointed to administer
on the estate wrote to the addresses
given, and learned that two Of the four
were dead, and the remaining two had
no knowledge of an aunt in California
or any other place. An investigation
developed the fact that the supposed
Mrs. Hogan was really Mrs. Richard
Barnes, and that she had left her hus-
band and four children TO elope with
the young Irishman. She had kept the
skeleton in her closet hidden for nearly
so years, and even in death she tried to
protect the secret by referring to her
children as her nieces and nephews.
