SaItinq Mines in Mexico.

"Mine salting nowadays has devel- oped into very ynice art, said an en- gineer and assayer who lately returned to the states from the inspection of some properties in old Mexico, to New Orleans Times Democrat reporter. ''In former times it was done crudely. A rascal who wanted to give fictitious values to a worthless prospect hole generally bought or stole sack of high grade ore and simply scattered it about the excavation, where the victim would be likely to pick up a few pieces for sampling. If an exposed ledge was to be dealt with he sometimes fixed up a $20 gold piece, loaded the dust into shotgun and fired it against the sur face from which specimens would be taken. But at present greater fneness is needed. The up-to-date purchaser l insists upon having fresh ore blasted l from beneath the surface, where it could not possibly be tempered with, and seals 1t up in little canvas sack i for the assayer with his own hands. It is then that the latest development, the hypodermic syringe, comes into play. The scientific mine salter has one of those handy little implements in his coat pockets, charged with so- lutior of chloride of gold. He watches for an opportunity, and when one.pre- sents itself, quietly thrusts the tip of the needle through the canvas sack and gives the piston a gentle push. The consequence is that few drops of the liquid are discharged over the sur face of the ore. The quantity of gold in the solution is almost infinitesimal, but it is enough to run up, an. assay $1 900 ton. Meanwhile the 'sucker' is tranquil in the knowledge that he has selected the samples himself and
 has them safely sacked under his own private seal. Hypodernlic mine salt ing is all the go in Mexico at present It beats the old method to death"

WATER STORAGE.
Would Mean Great Mining Development Untold Mineral Wealth Dependent
 upon Irrigation.

A great share Of the West is to day almost as much an undiscovered country as it was before the cry of gold was heard from California. Noun tains of untold richness lie undeveloped and desolate, surrounded by burning plains and barren wastes. Not only gold but the baser metals are locked in countless tons in the rocky bosom of the western sierras. And why are they not mined? Why does not capi- tai flow in to make the boulder and the earth unburden their treasures for mans use? Why? Because of lack of water. Because of lack of transports- tion. Torrents of immense volume rush down the slopes during the period of melting snows and spread away in glistening streams through the brown valleys or over broader plains, but in a little while their volume wanes and anon they are but dry beds of sand, supporting no life nor growth. Yet were the vast bulk of this waste water stored in noun tain reservoirs it would afford a per eRnial supply, capable of irrigating millions of heres of land whose great fertility has lain dry and dormant for thousands of years. Then would the mines be developed. In sections where irrigation has forced it's way, there railroads have gladly followed, and with the soil yielding the neeessaries of life to man and beast in abundance and with cheap transportation at hand. mines have been developed and added millions to the mineral output, which oth erwise would have lain dormant forever.

legacy from it's foundation, for when Washington charged his followers to 'edneate the masses" he invoked the only agency by wlich the permanency of the republic could be secured. It is of universal application. The recog- hilton of its applicability to mining progress has been deferred, but is now wide and clear. Mining cduca- tion is now popular. Every mining school displays this fact in increased attendance and enlarged facilities; every intelligent and sincere mining publication feels the warmth of popu- lar patronage and support; every edu- cator of breadth and insight sees that the common schools must provide effectively and earnestly for training of the young along lines which min ister to elevation and which promote appreciation of the opportunities in mining and scientific progress. There are now discernible spirit and purpose in these matters which are new with this generation.
 Such education is accepted now as statesmanlike effort. During the last two decades special commissions in all civilized countries, charged to inquire into industrial conditions, have reached the same conclusions, viz, that while legislative reforms are essential, and they naturally differ in different nations, there is an under lying principle which is the same in all of them, and that is that the ad- vancement of any class, in their own arts and in their relations to other elements of population, must be chief ly attained by systematic and liberal provision for eduea tion. That is the universal need and it's demonstration, as the result of tha. fullest investiga- ton and the ripest thought of those who can see most deeply into existing conditions, is indisputable. So impor- tant is the matter that 1t IS no longer a plea for the miner in his own behalf; it is demand by statesmen in the iu- terest of national strength, and pro. gress. The miner need no longer feel that he is clod by the roadside along which national pageants pursue their courses. lie is borne. aloft as the holder of the key of the worlds we'll being. The victories of peace and war, the achievements of commerce, are largely dependent upon his success; in fact, the whole fabric of civilization mnst be woven from the materials which he must supply by acts of high CT intelligence than have ever been hitherto required.

Reclaim the Lands for Settlement.


 The statement that the saying, ''Go West, young man, has lost it's po- tency and its foree,. could never be made for many years to come, if a policy of internal improvement should be adopted which would water the millions of acres of Western public land now lying arid. As
 "AIl that tread the globe are but a hand full To the tribes that slumber in it's bosom" so the present population of the great West is but vanguard of the multi tndes of industrious workers who would build up beautiful homes and rear happy families, were the waters which now go to the sea in prodigal wastes, but stored by the government and used to reclaim the fertile lands which to-day support only the cactus and. the horned toad. A striking in- stance of what has been accomplished in the West and what possibilities lie awaiting development may be found in California, which, with all it's great agricultural wealth, has still 58,000,- 900 acres ofs government land, more than half the area of the State, and IF ,0O0, ,000 of which are susceptible of irrigation. Yet the city of Chicago has to-day a larger population than California.

Mining and Scientific Education.
From the Mining and seIentiae Press

From the Mining and Scientific Press.l
 After all, is it not becoming very clear that every line of mining and scientific advancement must proceed from wider knowledge and fuller un- derstanding? Does not every real re- form in the condition of the miner, metallurgist or mining engineer, both in his own productive activity and in his relations with other activities and interests, depend for its realization upon more accurate knowledge and better trained reasoning and percep- lion? It is not wonder, in view of what some miners do not fully and accurately know about their materials, conditions and environment, that they succeed at all? Of course these ques- tions could as reasonably be asked about people in other callings and professions, but we are not dealing with them nor suggesting any com parisons with them. Their defcien- cies do not atone for ours, though they undoubtedly make ours more | tolerable-5ut that is another ques- tion.
 The more that is accomplished in mining and scientific progress-and certainly there is much-makes it palmer that though there is no royal road to knowledge there is kingly path away from it, leading toward all points of advancement. All the short cuts toward the elevation of the miner, socially, financially and politi- cally, have yielded only disappoint- ment and, too often, discourage ment also. There have been efforts enough of this kind to show that. briefly speaking, it is learning that is needed rather than legislation; it is percep- tion rather than political influence it is wisdom which will win all that is desirable both in laws and positions,
 when all other preparations fail to attain them.
 American experience during the last quarter of century has furnished ample demonstration of the results of close investigation and hard thinking
 Industries have been built up here

 this is the reward of wisdom. It is
 not the outcome of mere knowledge

 tive function of the human mind which is inexpressibly higher thar any accomplishment of the receptive faculties, which are it's servants.

Last week David KAPPA investigated
the innocent-looking and popular milk
shakes served in the fish market the
one he tried was very nice, but II and
ed the maker. Poloaea, in the police
station. Judge Wilcox fined him 800
and costs for. selling liquor without d
license.
KAPPA proved that okolehao and I'm
were sold to those who knew the pr op-
er way to ask Poloaea for It. A big
Idemijohn of stuff dignified by the mare
OF gin was seized in his place Two
spoilers were used to get evidence
against Poloaea.
1t appears that the fish market men
have been doing good liquor business
of late. The milk shake stands and the
soda stands are side by side and there
are many opportunities to doctor
beverages. Another charge of selling
liquor is pending against Poloaea and
will be heard this morning.

If Honolulu enters the plundered sis
Iterhood of American cities it can hard

as the taxeaters can do the work.
The very nature Of the electoral ma
jority is proof sufficient Of this. Men
who would vote the taxes are not the
ones who would be forced to pay
them; the men who would direct the
expenditure of funds for public ends
are of the kind who made up the ex-
travagant road boards in 1890, and the
Legislatures which even a Chinaman
could buy. It. is absurd to look to such

news was telephoned in to the high

DR.. Winslow, Government physician in
that district. to make post-mortem
and ascertain the cause of death. The
physician reported last evening that
death was caused by pneumonia. Ow-
Ing to the bad telephone service the
mans name could not be ascertained,
put 1t was learned that he was ma

The obvious preparations Mr.. Bryan
Is making for a third battle show him
to be The most undaunted politician
the Democratic party has had in the
Held since Martin Van Buren's time.
Generally speaking, one defeat is
enough for a Democratic presidential
candidate. After 1864 General McClel-
Ian disappeared into well-nigh COM
plete obscurity, and SO did Horatio
Seymour after 1868. The electoral re-
suit of 1872 sent Horace Greeley to an
insane asylum and the grave. Tilden
made no active canvass after the cleo
toral commission went against him in
1857, and he was practically ignored
IN the Democratic convention Of 1880,
which ought. logically. to have nomi-
mated him. Nobody heard of Hancock
after 1880 save as a modest and reti-
cent officer Of the army. Cleveland
was more persistent In a way. He
stayed in the open and let nominations
come to him. But Bryan fights for
what he wants with a persistency
worthy OF a better cause. We doubt
that he will be again taken up, but he
certainly deserves credit for his pluck.
