The Assam rubber tree should certainly
flourish well in most parts Of the Soul
dan, more particularly south of Khar-
t0um. Although this tree takes from
twenty to thirty years to arrive at a
girth sufficient to permit of regular
tapping. its yield IS so valuable (about
SIS per tree per annum) that its intro
duction into the country is well worth
attempting.
1t is very much to be hoped thar a
scientific examination of the Soudan
forests may ere long be carried out
under the superintendent Of an ex-
pert 1t is certain that much valuable
information would be obtained from
his report. Very little is known regard
ing the possibilities of mineral wealth
in the Soudan. Until the country is
more settled. an investigation of the
mountainous regions of KOrdofan and
Darfur on the west and of the Abys-
sinian frontier on the east would be
impossible. Iron ore is found in the
Bahr- el-GhazaI province and also in
Darfur, While gold mines were at one
time worked in the mountains south of
Fazogl. Could coal be discovered, it
would make a great change in the
whole question of the Soudan. In few
years time il is probable that the geo.
logical survey department of Egypt
will Re able to depute parties to exam
inc the SOudan.

Nature.)

In a report received by the foreign
office, Sir William Garstin has called
attention to the need for a scientific
examination of the Soudan, with a view
to the development of it's natural re-
sources. 1t is pointed out that very
possible source of future wealth to the
Soudan lies in the vast forests which
line the banks of the Upper Blue Nile.
and extend in an easterly direction to
the Abyssinian frontier. In the Bahr-
el-Ghazel province, also, particularly in
the Bongo country, large forest tracts
exist.
The ebony tree (Dalbergia meIanoxy-
lon is met with south of Karkaui, on
the Blue Nile, and again in the vicinity
of the Sobat river, On the White Nile,
in the Bongo and Rohl districts. the
India rubber creeper- Nandolphia flor
ida) is found in great pTofusiOn. If the
rubber yielded by this creeper be not of
quite so good a quality as that obtained
from the Assam India rubber tree
CF'icus elastica), it is still of sufficient
value to be counted as an important
assetin the future trade of the Soudan.

Word came from Murray yesterday
that agents Of the Boston Consolidated
Mining company had been in that
section, during the last few weeks
quietly tying up land in the vicinity
of the Highland Boy smelter. 1t was
stated that the tract gathered in is by
no means small one, but that il ag-
gregates at least 100 acres.
The land is thought to be that lying
Immediately to the south Of the High
land Boy plant and is said TO be an
admirable location for large smelter
with the elevations such that plenty
of ground is available for a convenient
Stag dump.
Rumors have been current for some
time that Mr.. Newhouse has in con-
temptation The erection of a smelling
plant fer the Boston Consolidated
mine and his other Utah interests and
the story from Murray, that options
had been given on a lot Of ground near
the Highland Boy plant, gives a color
Of truth to the story.
General Manager Coleman, however
denies that Mr.. Newhouse has any in
tention OF building a smelter in the
near future. The matter has not been
discussed or even contemplated, Mr.
Coleman stated yesterday, and he de-
clared that no land had been gathered
in for that purpose near Murray by
anyone connected with the Boston
Consolidated. He says the Bingham
mires are not yet IN condition for
smelter, but vigorous development
work is in progress at the present time
TO open them up.
In view of Mr.. Coleman's statement,
it is apparent that some other smelter
enterprise is about to enter the field

One of the owners of the Argentine

option the Argentine win probably be
sold. The gentleman stated that the
Xeinora had not been sold. However,
the titles were being looked. into with a
view of giving an option on that mine.
The objections the prospective buy

be the desire to get sufficient time TO
suit them on an option.

The Monitor mine in the Pixies Dig
gings end OF the Stateline district is
making a gratifying showing and the
owners. King. Burton & King, are
greatly enthused over the possibilities
aof that property.
Development work is being pushed
along vigorously and two assays taken
within the past few days from the bot
tom of the shaft, which is now down
to a depth of thirty-fve feet, showed
returns of SOS gold, thirty-five ounces
silver, and S11S gold, thity-five ounces
respectively. As depth is attained the
values in the ore show a decided in
crease. At the depth of twenty feet
the ore gives returns Of little over
$40 in gold To the ton.
The mine is located near the Inde-
pendence and Wild Irish mines which
have been doing nicely lately. The lat
der properties are in the course of de-
velopment and some very rich ore has
been found in them.
The vein passing through the Monitor
ground is about 100 feet wide. and the
shaft is completely in ore. No drifts
or lcross-cuts have been run.
