short tons of 1000 pounds, and the bullion
is stated in ounces of fine gold:
The returns realized per ton for these
four mines differ but little in amount, be-
ing, in the order given in the table. ana
in United States currency 5000 Slo.4o
Sl2 40 and s9.92. These amounts do not
differ much from the average returns of
the outcron or first row of mines on the
Witwatersrand. That of the Robinson
Deep is the highest. as the original Rob
inson mine has the highest average OF
any mine in the district; but the deep lev
ell average is lower by one-third OF that
of the outcrop mine. Apart from this
there is no indication of lowering of
the tenor of the ore in gold in the deep
mines. There is a considerable difference
in the mill recovery. While at the Gel
denhuis Deep only 29.S per cent. of the
gold was obtained from the tailings in
the cyanide watts, the proportion at the
Robinson Deep was 34.3, at the Glen Deep
50 6 and at the Rose Deep Al per cent.
JTpon the whole the indications given at
these mines do not show any marked diff
ference in the depths so far reached, and
the conditions are practically the same as
in the older mines.

THE OLDEST COPPER MINES,
Ancient Workings Which Furnished
Tools and Ornaments

L Ioiu the DehVef Republican,
The most ancient copper mines of which
we nave record are those of Sinai which
were worked from about 5000 3, c, until
about 1890 or 1900 r. c., the reason for
their abandonment being the poor quality
of the ore.
From these mines. the possession of
which was the occasion of several wars
was obtained the copper used in making
the scepter of Pepi L.. king in the sixth
dynasty, which is now preserved in the
British Museum. Certain portions of this
mines, including the ruins of the fur
naces. the huts of the miners, crucibles
and fragments of tools, are still extant
and form relies of considerable archaeo-
logical and metallurgical interest. The
ore in this locality occurs in some speri-
mems as turquoise and in others as con-
per-hydro-silicate, or sandstone impree-
mated with copper. In some of the frae-
ments of tools arsenic is found, a matter
of interest. as its use for hardening con-
per was feature of the work of Greek
and Egyptian alchemists. That processes
similar to those employed by modern mot
allurgists We're made use of is shown by
devices used and the finished product.

Childish Tribute to an Actor.

Edward Terry, the actor tells of a
pretty incident that occurred during a
tour in Australia. DO you know what
l consider the most glowing tribute
I ever received? The compliment came
from a child. There was a crowded
house, an intent audience, and humor
had for the instant given place TO
pathos. You might have heard a pin
drop, and / felt the tension of the
house was at breaking point. The in
tense silence was broken by a child

parent, asked in broken voice:

act would undoubtedly have its effect,
but the story needs confirmation. The
East Indian princes are not much Civ
en- to selling off their silver-although
this one may have got into tight
place. But with silver monetary out
cast, the natural tendency of the met
al Is downward. Being an imperishable
commodity, the surplus can be carried
over from month to month and year
to year, thus depressing the market
price.

from Baltimore. He wears two beauti-
full diamonds. one scarf pin and the

that he probably would before long, as
they wanted him again, and he was
we'll pleased with his treatment. Nc
Ginnity would not admit that the Phil
adelphis management has made Nc
Graw an offer for him. and that, as it
is a liberal one, it is quite possible that
he will be with Shettsline's aggrega-
ton next year.
John T. Brush favors the removal of
league headquarters from Washington
to New York, Nick Young to have ev-
erything ready there for the opening Of
the spring campaign of 1900 in Man

Nick's home at Mount Pleasant? Would
he have to abandon that and move his

After many unsuccessful attempts to
come to an agreement for fight be-
tween those two popular fighters, Peter
Maher and Kid Mccoy, they are finally
matched. Billy Brady. matchmaker of
the Coney Island Sporting club, who Of
fered a purse of $4,000, met both fight
ers by appointment at his office, and
after being informed by him of the con-
ditions Of the contest they quickly
signed the articles of agreement. They
are to box twenty rounds at Coney ISL
and about November 20, at catch
weights and the entire purse is to be
posted by Brady few days before the
fight takes place. Both men will begin
training shortly for the contest, Maher
at Westminster and Mccoy will go to
White Plains, New York, where he will
be assisted by Billy Muldoon. The fact
that these two men are to battle at last
and settle the much disputed question
as to which of them is the better man,
will no doubt stir up immense interest.
Both fighters have hosts of admirers in
this country. and as they are all big
betters, the indications are that there
will be as much money wagered on the
result as on any bout between men OF
their size in many day.

AshevilIe, N. G.

Few regions have been more richly
endowed by Nature than that famous
section of Western North Carolina
practically termed the "Land of the
Sky" It has q climate so dry and
health-giving that it has become known
the world over as q natural sanitarium
for the cure of all troubles of q pull
monary or bronchial nature.
Asheville, the centre of this beauti-
full mountain hemmed plateau, is the
highest city east of Denver, and is q
busy thriving place of $4,000 inh abb
tants, with all the modernisns of city
life. The city lies just at the point
where the beautiful French Broad
and Swannauoa rivers Join their crys-
tai waters.
Within the city or in its suburbs
many people of wealth have built beau
tiful and expensive homes, most
notable among them being the chateau
of MIR. George w. Vanderbilt, which
with it's great estate, las cost upwards
of four million dollars.
Asheville is an all-the-year resort,
for the great mountains protect it in
the winter from the cold winds, and its
summer climate is made delightful
because of it's altitude.
For descriptive matter of Asheville
and vicinity, call on any Southern
railway agent or JIG. Andrews S. W.P.

WHAT WE CONTROL

The American control extends over
the provinces of Manila, Pampsnga,
Bulacsn and the principal part of Ca
vite and Nueva Ecija and these provln-
ces are all of Luzon that Is worth con-
trolling. The province OF Manila has
an area of 264 square miles, and po-
pull .iion of 400 600, Cavite has area
of 488 square, miles, and . population
of about lao, 600. Bulacan 10 one of the
smallest provinces in the Philippine
archipelago. 1t has an area of 965
square miles; and population OF 23O.-
600. Pampanga has an area OF loI
square miles, and q population of ESQ,
E Eel: has s' an p are. Of s,4e2 square
miles and population of 155, 900. This
province extends up into the mount
aims, but the southern and fertile DOR
ton has been occupied by tho Ameri-
cans. The province OF Tarlsc, where
the rebels are resting, ia large prov
ince, but only strip of it lies in tho
fertile plain country. The or ater part
of it is mountainous and sterile. Its
area is ], 1O9 square miles, and it's pop
ulation is 49, 600.
The great mountain regions which
surround the settled and cultivated
area of Luzon are inhabited for the
most part by tribes of which little ts
lation of these savage regions are only
guesswork. The population of the pro-
vinces that lie on the fertile plain is
known, but no census taker has yet
penetrated into the mountain fastness-
es. These uncivilized tribes are as q
rule rather Indifferent spectators
of the fight between the Americans
and the Tagals, where they are not
absolutely hostile to the Tagals. Some
few Negritos have been serving with
the Tagals, but as q rule the mountain
people have not responded to Aguinal-
dos call to arms. What little aid the
mountsineers have given the Tagals
has not been of any material advant-
age to the rebels, and has resulted on
ly in the slaughter of misguided people
who exposed their naked bodies and
their bows and arrows to the fre:of the
eatlings. As the Tagals loose ground
their savage allies naturally desert
them.

WE ARE GETTING THEIR CONFIDENCE.
Another thing which operates in
favor of the Americans is the fact that
the confidence of the Filipinos in the
white men from over the water is in
creasiug. At first they believed all the
absurd things told to them by their
leaders about the Americans. 1t is
probable that large portion of the
Tagsl troops still in arms yet believe
the AT orleans to be monsters of
-ueltv aud iniquity. The thousands OF
'friepdlies,' who have returned to
their homes within the zone of Amer
lean ocC upatiOn aud have settled down
to work again, will be sure. in one way
or another, to get news to their
relatives aud friends in the Filipino
army Of the true state of affairs. Ag-
uinaldo himself seems to be buoyed up
by q false and foolish hope of aid from
ignorance of the true state of affairs is
can be CLEANED from his speech made
at the anniversary of the proclamation
of Fill Pine independence, in which he
told his followers that two states of the
American union bad risen in behalf of
the Filipinos. 1t will be seen, by look
ing at the map, that Aguinaldo has
been retreating up the LuZon plains,
following in a general way the line of
cgayen. Lingayeu is on the coast, and
further than that city retreat cannot
be continued. The present Filipino
capital. Tsrlac, is within twenty
miles of Lingayen When Aguinaldo
is compelled 20 retreat again, as he will
be when the firods subside, he will have
the noun tains and the ocean to choose
from. Though even the ocean will
