tevlewed carefully the transvaa question
In The course " his speech he said that,
osihs to tho enormous military preparations
~ The government Of The South African re-
public. Great Britain had been compelled
10 increase the forces In Cape Colony and
Natal, involving an expense of 500 600 an
hhally N The reforms Lord Ripon had pro-
posed In 1884 had been adopted, he said,
There would have been no raid and no
crisis ~ this time. But the raid tied the
hands of the government and prevented the
application Of pressure"
Mr. Chamberlain said the government had
tried 10 establish friendly relations with
President Kruger. but all their advances
had been received with contempt He then
proceeded to culogize Sir Alfred Miner, gov
crnor Of Cape Colony and British high COM
missioner for South Africa.
The government accepted full responsible
ity for the actions OF that official. As for
the counter proposals of Mr.. Kruger, they
did not constitute even fair installment
Of reform.
After dcnouncing in the strongest terms
the attitude and actions of the Beers, Mr.
emphasis added
The Transvaal's enormous secret service
fund has procured 1t friends and advocates
In every country. The way the British sub
ject there is treated is not only a menace
to them alr but nterferes with our prestige
among the natives, who now regard the
Beers, and not the British, as the paramount
power.
Beside the breaches OF the London con-
vention, the Transvaal is fagrantly violat-
ing the equality that convention was in
tended to secure. Its misgovernment Is a
fostering sore, poisoning the whole at
mosphere OF South Africa.
Government VIII he Firm.
-Four times since the granting OF indie
rendence we have been on the verge of
war with the Transvaal 1t is erroneous to
say the British government wants war, but
1t is equally erroneous to say that the gov
ernment will draw back now that it has
put its hand to the plow.
1T is hoped the efforts now being made
Will lead to an amicable settlement for
Great Britain only wants justice, but there
comes time when patience can be hardly
distinguished from weakness, and moral
pressure becomes a farce that cannot be
continued without less Of self-respect. I
trust that time may never come in this in
stance, but il it does Brtons will insist
upon the means to find a result essential to
tho peace of South Africa"
The speech was warmly applauded. In re-
ply to a vote of thanks, Mr.. Chamberlain
said he felt strengthened and encouraged
by their confidence and support. He had
spoken from the heart, because he believed
the empire was at critical turning point

GoLDFIELDs OF MEXICO.
.h Company That Has Only Been Par
 tiaIIy Successful So Far.
South American Journal, Lond m. .


 There can be doubt that the min eral resources of Mexico are immense; but, unfortunately, not much IS known about them in this country. The Consolidated Goldfields of Mex. leo, Limited, has, however, made an attempt to profitably work properties acquired in that republic, covering an area of r, ,000 acres, in the Arizpe dis tIict, state of Sonora. The company was only registered in 1896, and, al- though a rich strike Is reported to have been made, much time has been absorbed in preliminary operations. The adjourned ordinary general meet ing was recently held, at which some particulars were forthcoming. One of the directors, MT. Poisson, has been in Mexico for four or five months, and reported that the great difficulties un- der which the company labOred ap- peared to be inability to extract the payable gold and silver f.om the ores. All the working capital of the com pany was expended last September, but a shareholder having irtimated that he might take up he 10000 re- served shares, and so supply the di- rectors with working capital, subject to his obtaining an independent sat isfactory report from an engineer, 10 be sent out by himself, Mir. Hoffman was accordingly despatched to Mexico. His report was so favorable that the shareholder in question took up the 20,O00 reserved shares. In January last, the board being dissatisfied with the retnrhs, asked Mir. Hoffman to assume<tbe management of the mines, with power to make such alterations as he might deem desirable. The re- suit has been that, for the month Of March, there was profit Of abost S6,0C0. The property lies about l50 miles to tue east from the Gulf of California, at an altitude of 350O feet. It's area covers about B, 900 acres, be- ing freehold, and the mines at present located extend for about a mile and a quarter on the reef or lode known as the Santa Elena. All this has been prospected, and at present the work ings extend principally to a depth of about 250 feet vertical. The Santa Elena reef is one If the largest quartz deposits in the world. It has not only bold and massive outcrop, but in the deepest levels it is equally strong and we'll defined as at any other point. The reef is in places as wide as 100 feet, and is undoubtedly a deep seated Assure, and may be ex' plotted to great depth. It is all in mineralized deposits, but its present working is not payable throughout its width. The stopes have been from a width of three feet to nine feet, and the values fiuctuate very much. The result of this years working remains to be seen, but every company that helps to develop Mexico Is leading the way toward an important future fol that country.
