Exports of merchandise from the
United States to China in the fiscal
year about to end will be larger than
those of any preceding year in our his
tory. A decade ago the exports to
China were less than 100000, and to
China and Hongkong combined were
little over 100000. In the fiscal year
1899 our exports to China will be more
than $13,000,000, and to Hongkong more
than s6,000,000, making total to China
and Hongkong of over $20,000,00O, or
more than three times as much as
that of decade earlier. That the bulk
OF exports to Hongkong may properly
be considered as ultimately destined
for consumption in China is shown by
the fact that the official reports of the
imports into China show that over "A
per cent of their imports are from the
port of Hongkong. The 1899 exports
to China and Hongkong combined will
show gain Of nearly Is per cent over
those of last year, while the total ex-
ports from the United States for the
fiscal year 1899 will be little if any in
excess of those of last year, thus show
ing more rapid growth in our ports
to this particular part of the world
than elsewhere.

the amount of nitro powder stored in

Another section which our in.

tlon to is that requiring that all aband-
ohed mine shafts. pits or other exca-
Vatlons endangering the life of man or
Deast shall he securely covered or
ienced. There are thousands of such
holes in Boulder and other counties
where mining operations have been
carried on for years. This law gives
us the power to prosecute any person

they may be fined $500 and sent to the

Edison Buys Ortiz Mines,

Another big mining deal, details of
which are being kept secret is reported
to-day. 1t is said on good authority
that the Ortiz mines and Ortiz grant
interests, in greater part owned by the.
ElklnS brothers, have been sold to the
Edison Company for a sum almost
reaching the million mark.
q. Il. Blyot, a prominent st. Louis
attorney, last week inspected the prop
erty. which is one of the Oldest in the
Southwest and was worked by Span
iards and MeXicans for hundreds of
years. The shaft is down 425 feet and
there are 10000 tons of gold bearing
ore, running from S6 to $50 per ton. in
sight. The force now employed on the
mine numbers forty. The Edison
stockholders are nearly all st. Louis
people. There is enough ore on hand
to run the new stamp mill that was
started this week several months, but
work and taking out ore
continues steadily.
Senator Ellins of West Virginia was
one of the owners of the great Ortiz
property and his brother has been i'm
charge of his interests. Thomas A.
Edison. the wizard of Menlo Park. is
said to be heavily interested in the Ed
ison Company and his new process for
treatment of ore will be utilized in Il
large plant to be located on the Ortiz
ores. Mr.. Edison has been on the
ground often.

PROSPEROUS HOME POOL,
Leadville Miners and Merchants Are Get
ting Their Money Back

| Aeadville Miners and Merchants Are Get
| ting Their Money hack.
| During the latter part of 1898 there
were about sixty properties producing
ore in the Leadville district. saws the
| Leadville Herald Democrat. Consery-
awe mining men figure that not less
than eighty mines will be on the pro
ducing list by the end of the present
year. Usually some of the Droducers
OF one year fail to appear in the list
next year. but in glancing over the
mines that made the output for 1898,
IL IS interesting to note that few of
any consequence have dropped out.
On the other hand a great many new
ones nave come to the front. and the
result Will be to swell the grand total
or mines that have made Leadville the
greatest camp in the state. 1t is, of
course, anticipated that the tonna ge this
year VIII be smaller. on account of the
various set backs that have been re-
ceived.
1t Is very probable that there will be
no further issue of Home Mining Com
pany stock. At the annual meeting of
the stockholders. shortly after the
hardest battle with the water. and
when none of the three shafts had
commenced shipping, it was thought
that 1T would possibly be necessary to
authorize further issue of stock for
the purpose Of obtaining additional
FUNDS for development purposes. The
IDEA at that time was to authorize an
issue of 10000 shares. the original
stockholders being given the prefer
ence. In fact. meeting for this pur-
pose was called, but during the past
month matters have taken such n
change for the better that the whole
plan of an additional stock issue has
been dropped
The fact is that Home Mining Com
pany stock is worth considerably more
than par. The machinery alone is
worth much more than $4,000. and
the present shipments are more than
paying expenses. The debts have all
been paid up the cost of the pumping
is settled for. and funds are available
Tor the prosecution of important devel-
opment work. Manager Bohn has over
hity men on the pay roll, divided
about equally between the three.
SHAFTS. and the ore bodies are being
opened up in a very satisfactory man
ner
When the strike in 1896 shut down
the Bon Air mine there were several
drifts in ore, and it was expected that
these could be reached after the water
had been drained out. When an ex-
of the workings came to be
made, however, it was found that n
great many drifts We're so badly caved
that it would be cheaper and more sat
lsfactOry to run new drifts in order to,
strike the ore body at another point.
There are several of these drifts being
run, and when this work is completed
the Bon Air will add it's quota to the.
downtown tonnage

Gently left Leadville to work in the
Idaho mines at Wardner.
Utah is the only state where the
eight hour law is strictly observed. 1t
is in operation in the coal mines, the
metaliferOus mines and the smelters
and it is giving general satisfaction TO
both the employe and the employer.
Another candidate for public favor
is the Gold Hill group in Black Cloud
or Holden gulch, owned by DIR. Cor
nelius, who seems to be playing in
good luck, says the Twin Lakes Star.
He is opening up Il seven or eight-foot
vein which has ii quartz vein with
copper and iron pyrtes from one foot
Of which he has assays ranging all the
way from $50 to $12O in gold, as
high as seven ounces of silver and now
and then an ore of plumbiferOus char
acter running II per cent. lead. TO
all appearances it has the making Of
a big mine.

THE NEW MINING LAW.
Owners Who Have Refused to Take the Pre-
cautions Required Will BE Prosecuted,

Acting under power invested in him
by the last Legislature, Harry a Lee.
state commissioner of mines will short
ly begin prosecutions against some of
the largest mining companies in the
state and numerous smaller compan-
les for failure to comply with the law
governing mining operations. Com
missioner Lee is of the opinion that
he has literally dealt with all owners.
as over five months have elapsed since
the law was signed on April 8, al
though it did not become effective until
July 8.
"The law has been in force suttic-
lent time to test it's WORTH" says Com
missioner Lee. "The effect will soon
be felt throughout all mining districts
in the state. Accidents will undoubt-
edly be lessened. Our inspectors have
been very busy since the act became
operative, and have gathered informa-
tlon against owners who have failed
and refuse to comply with the law.
Until this year men have been mining
almost as they pleased. and that has
made it hard work to correct their
methods as the law dictates.
"One of the greatest troubles has
been the mines owned and operated by
miners themselves They have resent
ed official interference. The greatest
cause of individual accidents is the
careless handling of explosives. and
such accidents will occur rs long as
there are miners. Explosives must be
stored Ill magazine provided for that
purpose alone. The commissioner of
mines is directed to regulate and limit
