Gold Mines In Great Britain.

Near Dolgelly, in Wales, there is < gold-bearing district which yields about 1900 a year That isn't much for 8 gold mine; but it's more than most people imagine there is in the whole of Great Britain. Then at Leadhills, in Scotland. some gold is to be found
 some of it in quartz. in approved South African fashion, and some loose about the place. Ireland has fair share of the spoil, and County Wicklow is the richest in gold. The entire amount taken therefrom wouldn't make one big Australian nugget prob ably. Silver of course, is to be found in some quantities in the Cornish sil- yer-lead mines.

COAL IN COMMERCE.

The formation of a big coal combine
including ninety-six of the 1O2 working
mines along the Monongahela and all
the coal craft carrying fuel from Penn
sylvania to the Gulf, embracing 200
river steamers, 1000 coal boats and
barges. all the coal yards and elevators
where this coal is handled along the
Ohio. and Mississippi rivers from Pitts
burg to New Orleans, reviyes interest
III the development of this branch of
mining in the United States.
Since 1870 the coal product of this
country has increased nine times and
the expectation of coal has increased
sixteen times Coal fields that are prac-
tically inexhaustible lie u:ideveloped in
Wyoming and Arizona, New discover
les are being made IN Utah Colorado
and in the states of the great plains;
the mines Of the east and middle west
show no Signs of weakening, while
many of the. best producers are stronger
than ever.
Stm, Great Britain leads the world
as a coal producer. To a naval power
this is a matter of extreme Importance.
The average output of the coal mines
Of Great Britain is 1S5.OO0OOO tons per
annum. That of the United States is
49,, 0Ge. 0Oe. Germany comes next with
81 ,0GG, 900, and France follows with a.
OO0.OOO tons.
Not only has the quantity of coal in
creased in this country, but the area
from which the product is taken. Thirty
years ago coal was mined in twenty
states, and Pennsylvania was the only
one that produced anthracite. Coal is
now mined in commercial quantities
from thirty-two states, and hard coal
is obtained from Rhode Island, Vir-.
ginia, Colorado and New Mexico.
Possibly the greatest development in
coal mining has been in the south.
it has been intellectually rapid
and extensive in the west. Twenty
five years ago Alabama mined but II. 900
tons of coal Last year it produced
{. 262, 600 tons. During the same time
Kentucky's output increased from
10000 tons to 3,216,OOO tons; that of
Tennessee from 1873, 900 to 2,5CO,O9O tons,
and that of Virginia from $1,000 to
I, S65, 600 tons.
To be a great naval power, or even
power at sea, a nation
should be great coal producer.

SALfAlR AND THE LADIES.

Saltair will be free to the, ladies next
Monday. 1t will not be necessary for
any female TO purchase a ticket on that
OCCASION The women and girls of Utah
and all visiting members of the favored
sex Will be the guests of the manage

Now, it wouldn't be right or polite
for a woman to discuss the motives be-
hind this delightful proposition to re-
ceive and entertain her at one of the
grandest summer resorts in the world.
but with men it is different 1t is not
only their right but their duty to fig
ure such things out. At first blush one
would say that the invitation had been
prompted, either by generosity, pure
and simple, or by an impartial weak
ness for the so-called weaker sex. 1t
may be that the prepossessing gentle
men who constitute the management of
Saltair desire to increase, if possible,
their popularity with the ladies. If it
were merely an impulse of generosity
there are reasons why the invitation
should have been extended to the male

But there are other considerations.
When it becomes noised about that all
the girls and women of the state are to

day. men and boys Will commence buy
ing tickets at once for that day to avoid
the rush. Every train will be crowded
with men, and it is safe to wager that
the pavilion will be taxed TO its ut
most capacity. The women wouldn't
go il they didn't expect the men to fol-
low. and the men wouldn't think of
staying at home on ladies' day.
Without intending TO discount the
gaIIantry or discredit the generosity of
the Saltair management in the least,
we venture to assert that whatever is
lost on the ladies viii be more than
made up by the gentlemen Of the state,

LINCOLN and the Quaker.

Here is a story of President Lincoln,
obtained by Curtis. of the Chicago
Record from the late Judge Carter. who
was a member of congress from Cleve-
land during the war and one of Mr..
Lincolns most intinlate friends. 1t re-
lates TO Quaker philanthropist from
Philadelphia who did not have a hair
on his head but took great interest in
public affairs and was constantly calling
ut the White House in behalf of some
body or other who happened to be in
trouble. and took up a great deal of Mr..
L;ncoln's time. The president treated
him with great courtesy. although his
patience was frequently tried. One day
when the philanthropist was particularly
verbose and persistent and refused TO
depart although he knew that important
delegations were voting. Mr.. Lincoln
in the corner of IL met chamber and

DREYFUS ON TRIAL AGAIN.

The mills of justice are beginning to
grind in France. Dreyfus is on trial
again He is permitted this time to
hear the evidence against him. There
is no suspicious secrecy about the pres
ent investigation. The light of pub
licity and the right of criticism, bull
warks of free thought and honest gov
eminent, are recognized at last in
France There is prejudice against the
prisoner, plenty of it. There is the ex-
qu;site torture of the inquisition which
enters into the administration of
French Jurisprudence. For the prison.
er is surrounded by adverse influences
and disheartening conditions in a
French court. The burden rests upon
him to prove his innocence. The judges
before whom he appears are his prose-
cutors. The bailiff and the jailer are
his prosecutors. Suspicion oft counts
for more than a statement of fact, for
in French justice there is a strange ad-
mixture of superstition and faith. The
code embodies the first ingredient and
the court represents the second. Mercy
and mitigating circumstances count for
nothing. When a man is formally
charged with crime he is a criminal I'M
til he establishes his innocence. This is
the theory of the French, Dreyfus has
this to meet. He has prejudice to battle
and precedents to overcome. He has
been adjudged a traitor once He is
still a traitor in the eyes of his judges.
Every question they put to him
breathes a spirit of unfriendIiness and
distrust
Still, the trial is open The proofs
will be made public. This is every
thing to Dreyfus. If he is not permit
ted this time to face his accusers it is
because two Of them were pursued by
the remorseless Nemesis of a guilty
conscience to self-destruction, and the
other is a fugitive from the law of the
republic whose honor he claimed TO
represent in the prosecution of the
jew. But all these army witnesses left
behind them valuable contributions to
the literature of the case They all
confessed that it was a conspiracy to
ruin Dreyfus.
This, however, does not seem to in
fiuence the learned judges in the least.
Their exhibitions of undisguised hos
tility to the prisoner does not impress
the world very favorably with their as
surances Of justice. Yet there is this
to remember: No court can afford to
trifie with the truth. AT whatever cost !
whether TO the standing of the army
or to the sacredness of precedent in |
national triburals-justice must be |
done.

SOME GOOD SHORT STORIES
The "Camp-liar."
CYonth.s Companion.l


Some recent stories of slaughter sent

shot and the other four he had brought
in as prisoners.
The letter was published by the soldier
admiring friends in his home newspaper,
and a copy of the paper was eventually
sent to one of his comrades in Cuba and
passed about the camp. AS the other
members of the company knew that no
such incident had taken place, they gave
him no peace.

AS REPUBLICANS SEE lit.

The selection of Root to be Alger's
successor did not restore to New York
Republicanism that perfect harmony
Platt promised and the president de-
sired
In fact, it seems that the recent CO.
alition between Roosevelt and Plat is
regarded by Republicans generally as
a swallowing up Of the hero politician
by the great machine that distributes
federal patronage in the Empire state.
That the. appointments made by the
chief executive for the purpose of re-
moving obstacles from the path of the
great Republican boss are not giving
the general satisfaction that was anti
eipated is due TO the fact that people
nave been able TO see through the deal.
Nor does the partial abolition Of
the merit system for making APP
pointments to minor government
positions appeal to the better element.
Only the heelers and the spoilsmen VINO
recognize the leadership OF Plat ev-
pect to benefit from this order of the
president.
The New York Tribune, the foremost
advocate Of Republicanism in America
voices the sentiments of the Republic
IN masses when it says: IF anv Of
fee is to be accorded to the men who
voted for Mr.. Low they prefer not to
have it dictated by Plat But unless
we are much mistaken as to their de-
sires, they do not want Office at all.
What they wanted in the state was
purer and better administration of the
states business and punishment of the
canal frauds, and they still hone that
the larger part OF that programme may
be accomplished. What they now want
most of all in national affairs is 10 have
the war in the Philippines put down.
and if the designation of a clever cor
poration lawyer is the best guarantee
of success in that task they Will rejoice
in his appointment. But the mere ped
ding out Of a little patronage to aspir-
ants for distinction whom Mr.. Plat
selects from their ranks will not do
much, if anything, toward satisfying
their Just demands"
