Mines and
Mining.
Mining In Mexico.

During the colonial rule of old Spain
the mineral wealth of this country
brought riches both into the treasury
of the king of Spain and into the pock-
cts of his then loyal subjects OF the
province of New Spain. Since the
birth of the republic, in the first
decade of this century, both the gov
eminent and private enterprise have
likewise benefited tremendously from
the exploitation of the natural mineral
wealth of this country. with
the fall Of Spanish dominion In
Mexico, not unnaturally when every
thing is considered, came chaos q
anarchy. Revolution after revolution
produced An unsettled condition of al
fairs that were especially felt in the
outlying districts, where most OF the
mines were situated. These bursts of
patriotism, politely called ''Pronuncia.
mentos, ".infiicted a blow upon the min
ing interests of the young republic 1t Is
now only just recovering from,
The American war did not help al
fairs, and although it vas followed by
a period of comparative peace, 1nternal
troubles again began, the war OF the
French Intervention threw the country
into q worse condition of unrest than
ever and in fact it was not until the
coming of Porfrio Diaz and the "ferro-
carriles" that the revival OF mining
was made possible. 1t must
also be remembered that
the northern portions OF
the country. Chihuahua, SoEora and
Durango. so rich in mineral wealth,
were not only afflicted by the civil wars
but also had to endure another cOntln-
ual and fearful scourge-viz:-the
Apaches, who actually have only been
stamped out ia quite recent years. The
entire face of the republic is SCARED
with evidences of both past and pres
emit mining enterprise, the former as q
matter of fact vastly outnumbering the
latter. Mexico is full from north to
south with old shafts and tunnels
marking where a past generation gath
cred many a rich ''bonanza;" the
names of the majority of these are even
O unknown, while of their workings
and history, they are buried in the
gloom of an ~irrevocable past. The
strife of the wars of independence and
reform swept the country as with a de-
v~astating blast, and where human life
was held v~alueiess, it Is not to be sup
posed that any particular care
was shown by q brutal SOL
diery in the preservation of archives
and records. A mist of oblivion hides

ceptional instances little that is re-

AN EMINENT JURIsTs VIEWS.
Says the Verdict VIII he an Acquit-
tai for Dreyfus.

London, Aug. 19.-Thomas Terrell,
Queens counsel, one of The leading jurists
in England, VINO has attended some of The
sessions of the Dreyfus courtmartiaI. says
There is an air of unreality about the
whole proceedings. Dreyfus alone seems to
be in earnest. No fierce conflicts of intel
lect occur between counsel as would be
the case in England. In nay opinion the
president of the court has already decided
the question in favor of acquittal. This
appears to be the case from his evident
anxiety to preserve an air of complete i'm
partially, and, though on occasions he is
unable to conceal his hostility to the de-
Tense, his intention plainly is to acquit.
The courtmartial is as fair as a spe-
cial jury sitting without legal assistance
can be- The opinions it will form must be
feeble, and its judgment cannot have the
least weight to the legal mind. Much pref
udice is COMPOUNDED with patriotism on
both sides, but instructions from the su-
perior officials of state will outweigh con-
siderations of legal evidence

been expended for the surveillance of Es-

between Picquart and Gen Bilot as to
the expenditures of secret service funds.

AS A FELLOW SUFFERER.
Negroes Regard Dreyfus, Too, as a
Victim of Racial Prejudice.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-The Afro-American
council resumed its sessions to-day with
the committee on resolutions deep in ear
nest conference, and the remainder of the
body awaiting the result of the commit
tees deliberations. Numerous resolutions
more or less in condemnation of the ma
tional administration it is SAID. were
shelved during the night. 1t was resolved
to send a cable to Capt Dreyfus express
ing the sympathy of the colored people
for a man who had suffered much on ac~
count of racial prejudice.
Booker T. Washington was bitterly de-
nounced by Rev. r. c. Ransom pastor
of Bethel Church, in which the conven-
ton is being held, and also by b. T.
Thornton of Indianapolis. Washington
has been in the city, but has refused
to attend the sessions of the convention
Rev. Ransom and Thornton denounced
Washington as a traitor and a trimmer,
and the audience gave strong assent to
the denunciations.
A lengthy address was issued at the
close of the convention to the American
people, covering practically the same
ground as has been in many of the resO-
buttons passed during the meeting, II de-
nounced lynch law, demanded better pro-
lection for the colored man at the ballot
box, and in labor unions, and set forth a
long list of grievances.

NO VESSEL AT ETHER Port.
An Unusual Occurrence with the
Ocean Steamship Company.

An Unusual Occurrence with the
Ocean Steamship Company.
Yesterday morning marked a singular
incident in the history of tho Ocean
Steamship Company. OF the seven steam
ships of the line in active operation not
one was at the home port.
All were upon the high SEES with the
possible exception Of the City Of BJrming-
ham, which may have been at Newport
News, though il is thought likely that she
was also at sea. No Information was re-
ceived as to whether or not the Birming-
ham had sailed from Newport News
Agent Trezevant remarked that II was
probably the first time in The history of
the company when all the ships had been
at sea at the same time. The only excep-
ton is the steamship Nacoochee which
has been in dry dock at New York for
some time and so did moi count either way
in this incident.
This state of affairs did not continue
very long. AT 1886 p. m. the City of Mar
con, which left Savannah at O'Clock
Tuesday reached New York, and at $50
the Tallahassee. which sailed from Sa-
vannah at $3.50 O'Clock Tuesday, also ar
rived at New York The two steamships
had simply reversed their hours of ar
rival and departure the Macon passing
the Tallahassee on the way up.
The arrival of the Kansas city last
night, two days overdue, reduced the mum
Der of absent steamers 70 four. and the
probable arrival of the Chattahoochee
from Boston this morning will stil fur
Their reduce the absentee list The Gate
City which left Savannah Thursday is
due i'm Boston tonight and the City OF
Augusta which left this port Friday is
due in New York tonight II is hardly
likely that either vessel will reach port
on time. as IL is practically certain that
storm.
The storm, by the way, Is a record
breaker IN its class for slow movement.
1t moves so slowly that vessel can tus-
sule with il for forty eight hours on the
way down from New York, then reach
