THE HUMBOLDT SULPHUR
WORKS.

The extent of the development that
has been made at the Humboldt sui.
phur mines is not generally known, says
the Lovelock Tribune. A great mine
has been opened up. Manager Arnold
when seen by representative of the
Tribune last week, stated that it was
estimated there was 100, 900 tons of ore
in sight. This runs 10 per cent sulphur
or the product already blocked out is
20, 900 tons.
The permaneney of the mine has been
so well esta blshed that preliminary SUI :
veys have been made for railroad out
from Humboldt house. The distance
TO the works is forty-one miles, but 1t
is said that this can be shortened four
or five miles. The country through
which the road would run is not at all
difficult and it is estimated that the cost
will not exceed 81, 900 per mile.
II this road should be built 1t would
not leave very much of a gap between
the Boise, Nampa & Owy hee road that
now runs to Silver City, Idaho, and the

Their market is limited chiefly to the
sheep men for dipping purposes and to
the fruit growers Of the Pacific coast.
sulphur, It has been found, is a great
destroyer OF insects In the vineyards of
California.
Mr.. Arnold says they have obtained
very satisfactory rate from the rail-
road, less than half cent per ton per
mile, to Portland, Oregon, that enables
them TO lay their sulphur down in that
market. The product in San Francisco
is worth s2l per ton. Their shipments
average four or five cars week or from
1000 to l,500 tons II year. With TO-
600 tons of sulphur ia sight, at this rat
the works will be In operation for half
century or more.

that have been left from volcanic action.
The hot sulphur waters evaporated,
leaving an almost pure product.

TRADE OF THE PHILIPPINES.

As little campaigning can be done IL
the rainy season, 1t is good time, next
to the work of vigorous preparation, to
study the business facts and possibilities
OF the Philippine Islands. In the year
1896, which was comparatively free from
disturbance, the exports amounted to
SO, 756, $50, thus classified: Sugar,Ss,-
600, 600; hemp, 81, 500, 900; tobacco leaf,
81, 500, 600; cigars, $3.50, 600; eopra, ST.,
876, 900; coffee, $3.50, 600, and numerous
minor items. The imports amounted
to $40, 937, 500, chiefly of rice, -four, cot
ton goods, petroleum, coal and manu-
featured articles from Europe and
America. It is noteworthy fact, as
showing the natural currents of trade,
that large portion OF the Philippine
exports came to the United States. We
have long had more positive interests
IN the islands than non-expansionlsts
imagine. In the Philippine imports we
have cut little figure. Spain imposed
many obstacles, and England and Ger
many supplied the bulk OF foreign goods.
In 1893 the United States furnished i'm
ports amounting to 1856, 7O6, but taking
our imports and exports together our
total business with the islands that year
was near $4,000, 900.
There are some who assert that our
present foothold embraces little outside
of Manila. Probably they are not aware
that three-fourths of the foreign trade
of the Islands has long been concentra-
ted In that city. The Imports at Manila
In 1898 were sl4, 366, $40, and the exports
GA, 377, $3.50, aggregating 1850 per cent
OF the entire commerce OF the group.
At Iloilo and Cebu, ports also in our
possession, 18.49 per cent of the foreign
trade was transacted. In the harbors
we hold "a per cent OF the foreign com
merce of the Philippines was handled.
We are certainly masters of the stu
alton in controlling substantially all the
established channels of foreign trade
The Spanish system was one of rulnOui
taxation. Weyler was Captain Genera
of the Philippines for three years, and
during that time increased his bank &C
count in Europe by several millions.

Strikes are not always evidence that
times are hard. In fact labor disorders
are apt to be most widespread when a
country is recovering from prolonged
depression. This is fairly illustrated by
the recent strike of the employees OF
the American Tin Plate Company.
The demand for tin plate and conse-
quently its price, have greatly increased
In the last year. The workmen felt
that they we're not getting their full
share OF the increased profits, aud de-
manded a 20 per cent raise in wages.
This the company refused, but offered
and the immense works of the company
we're shut down, because 1t was impos-
sible to get enough skilled workmen to
I'LL the places OF the strikers. At last
compromise has been arranged ac-
cording to which the men get 10 per
cent raise, as long as tin plate sells at
s4.25 per hundred pound box, while on
each 10 cent increase in price per box.
per cent advance on the scale adopted
win be allowed, and corresponding de-
crease for each 10 cents loss in price.
This is the most sensible settlement
of the wage question that we have seen
for long time and it clearly shows that
that the trust, whatever its faults, is
not independent of its employees. When
Its skilled workmen strike, it has no
reserve force to draw upon, and must
either arbitrate the trouble or shut
down Its works.
1t is also an interesting fact to note
that this strike involved about $4,000
tin plate workers. This industry. by the
aid of a protective tariff has been built
up In less than ten years. Allow a fam
lily of five to each tin worker, and
quarter of million people are now de-
pendent for livelihood on this infant in
dustry, not bad recommendation for
the protective tariff system.

Comstock Mine Timberinp.

show no system in timbering, posts be-

such heedlessness for the safety of em-
plOyees that serious accidents from cav

and it is even more amazing that men

such underground death traps.
The system OF mine timbering on the
Comstock was. as Is well known. the in.
veniion of Philip Deidesheimer, former
ly superintendent of the Hale & Nor
cross, and is the most perfect and safest
that has yet been introduced and leaves
no room for Improvement. Every sill

care as in the construction of sub
stantial surface structures and there is
no record of casualties from caving
ground that has been timhered by this
system where daily inspections are made

was In the city last week, says the Salt
Lake Mining Review, after spending
several weeks in Idaho and Oregon,
leaving few days ago for Nevada and
California. In speaking of the exhibit
Ions to be made by the several mining
states Mr.. Heikes informed the Review
that it would be impossible to give each
State separate representation, but that
the from each State would
be classified and grouped together in
manner that would be pleasing to the
eye, and. at the same time, give each
section equal representation, the reason
assigned for doing this being that the
space allowed for separate exhibit is
or would be so small that no kind of a
showing could be made commensurate
with the merits and size OF the collec
tions for the several States.

Draining the Entire Comstock
Lode.

The Risdon hydraulic pump that
has been working In the G. & G. shaft
for the past six months IS working sat-

undertaking has surpassed all expecta.

the neighborhood of 200 feet and now
stands just below the 1850 level, which
has been pretty effeetually drained.
The work is progressing very slowly at
present however, owing to the fact
that this shaft acts as a sump for all OF
the surrounding mines for miles around.
