MINES AND MINING.

There are bills before congress not
only to create a department of COM
merce but also to create a new ex-
ecutive department to have charge of
all matters relating to mines and
mining and the geological survey of
the country. This latter department
is to be presided over by q special
cabinet officer entitled the secretary
of mines and mining.
The United States is the most i'm
portant mining country in the world.
It is not only one of the largest pro-
ducers of gold, silver and copper, but
it possesses the most extensive de-
posits of coal and iron known, and
there is not a mineral of economic
value that ia lacking in the rocky
recesses of our country, and, If not
found in profusion, it is at least true
that gems of every sort are not want
ing. In the territory around Ell Paso
nearly every mineral is found and not
few precious stones.
There are also extensive regions
whose mineral treasures have not yet
been explored, and many discoveries
of great value are yet to be expected.
For long time the methods OF mining
and of ore reduction were crude and
wasteful. but In the past two decades
improvements of immense value have
been made, and ores of gold and silver
which were once considered worthless
are now made to yield up their treas
ures; while, by means of the diamond
drill, rocks can be bored through to
great depths and made to disclose
their mineral contents, thus vastly
cheapening the processes of prospect
ing.
Under the systematic study of the
various problems of mining and ore
redu ction thatcan be made with the
resources of the general governme lent,
there is great reason to believe that
further economies and improvements
will be made in mining aud in the
processes of Obtaining mineral treas
ures, which will not only in
crease results, but materially reduce
costs.
There Is one problem pointed out by
a writer on the question which can be
studied with profit. 1t is to ascertain
and elucidate for practical use the re-
lations of geology to mineralogy: to
find, If possible, what connection there
may be between the causes which have
produced the geologic changes in the
crust of the earth, and the forces that
have produced valuable minerals, and
have put them where they are found.
What is wanted is to be able to declare
from the surface indie atoms whether ,
valuable metals, ores and other impor-
tant minerals are concealed beneath,

The Disease Still Prevalent In India,

KOBE. Feb 21.-No more cases OF
plague having appeared in Kobe or
Osaka, the authorities have now re-
scinded the regulation requiring the
medical inspection of passengers trav-
cling by foreign steamers and on the
railway lines.
This withdrawal of the last Of the
special regulations connected with the
suppression of the disease may be TAX
en- as showing that all danger OF in
lection has now disappeared. 1t is true
that a return of milder weather may
lead to a temperance of the epidemic,
but that is a point which must be left
to the future to decide. The fact re-
mains that in no other Far Eastern
country where the plague has appear
ed has 1t so quickly been subdued
and, as we have before stated, the au.
thorities deserve the highest praise foI
their success. Conditions of climate
land habits of life have no doubt had
something to do with the relatively
mild character of the outbreak, bu
its prompt suppression Is undoubtedly
due to the active measures taken. One
point to which attention may be drawn
is the readiness with which doctors
have volunteered their services, al
though at great risk Of becoming them
selves infected. The Osaka Plague In
specti0n Office has now secured tn
services of the 300 doctors which /
was thought would be required for tn
operation of stamping out the plague il
Osaka. Happily, however, their serv
ices for the most part will not be re
quired.
Governor Ohmori issued on the Is
inst. a proclamation with regard t
> the precautionary measures for pre-
venting a recrudescence of plague. Tn
, proclamation is to the effect that as n
fresh cases Of plague have taken plac
since the 22d of December last, and n
bacilli have recently been founl
among the rats caught, 1t is now con
. sideTed by the authorities that the nal
. ady has totally disappeared from Kobe
The disease, however. is still raging 4
India as well as in Hongkong and 9th

. therefore, in case precautions to pre-
vent its recurrence are neglected, tn
plague may reappear as milder weathe
approaches. In view Of this, the au

Fearful Fall of a Laborer in the
Love Building.

Tenants in the Love building were
startled yesterday morning by a ter
rife crash of glass and the vision of
the body OF a man smashing through
the skylight TO the upper hallway. The
unfortunate intruder lay stunned and
bleeding on the floor while lawyers.
dentists, real estate agents and artists
rushed frantically for medical aid. The
man was found TO be seriously but not
fatally injured, and on regaining con-
sciousness explained the mystery OF
his painful entry.
He is an Italian employe of the Ha-
waiian Electric Light Company and
had ascended to the roof of the Love
building to repair some wires there
Catching his foot in an obstruction. he
stumbled and before he could catch
himself plunged headlOng through tho

urged 10 diligently carry out the cleans
ing of premises and houses and to
continue the clearing out of rats so as
to give no possible opportunity for the
temperance of the disease.
The plague is now considered TO
have disappeared in Osaka, no fresh
cases having occurred since the 18th
ult. The first case was reported on the
18th of November last, a young girl
being the victim. The total number
of patients amounted to AZ, Of whom
40 (22 males and IS females) died. and
2 (males) are under treatment. Di-
vided according TO the ages, three were
under 10 years, fourteen under 20
years, seven under so years, six under
40 years, seven under so years, and
FIVE between 50 and 20 years. The cost
of the operations for stamping out the
disease up TO the present amount to
some 100000 yen, including 100000 yen
for the Osaka-fu expenditure, 10000
yen as State subsidy, and some 10000
yen for salaries 10 doctors, the expense
of which was shared by the State and
Osaka-fu.
A telegram Of the 1st inst. from the
Governor General OF FOrmOsa states
that cases and 4 deaths from plague
were reported on the 29th ult., 1 cas-
and 2 deaths on the 30th, and l case OF
the 3tst in Taipeh prefecture, aud
cases on the 50th ult. in Tainan pref
ecture. This has brought the tOta
number OF cases from January 1st q
