Burmah's Amber Mines.

In Burmah amber is found in re-
gion difficult of access and jealousy
guarded by those who have every in
terest in keeping their secret. It is
situated in the Hukong valley, sur
rounded on three sides by almost i'm
passable ranges of mountains, so that
it is accessible only from the south
across low hills forming the watershed
between the Chindwin and the IRA
waddy. In one Of these low hill
ranges are the famous and mysterious
mines Of golden resin. 1t is obtained
in a very, primitive way. After the
harvest the diggers go to the hills,
and selecting place where there are
no pits dug by previous prospectors,
shape with their swords a small
pointed hoe. a wooden shovel, and a
basket of split bamboo. With these
they make hole in the blue clap, re-
moving the refuse by means Of the
basket, and gradually deepening the
shaft. Three men work in company
one below (the shaft not being large
enough for more than one at time),
while the others hand up the basket.
The amber is found in pockets"
which are generally indicated by
strings of coaly matter appearing in
the clay.-Stray Stories.

CHAPTER II.

It was week later.
Bluebell had gone to Ladysmlth,
riding across the dry, open veldt by
the wagon-path on her sCre-footed lit
tie horse Rover. She was capital
horse-woman, and nothing Gaunted
her when in the saddle.
It was a very hot day, and there
were signs of coming rain, which made
Bluebell hurry. Her path lay across
the dry veldt. Coarse, parched grass
and withered shrubs made it look like
desert. The road was bad and mar
row one. 1t swelled and undulated
like an ocean, now dipping down into
hollow, now rising to the height or
little green-covered kopje. Some
times she rode close to the river,
which seemed almost dry now, so long
had been the drought; and always she
kept in sight of the great froWnlng
peaks OF Drakensberg,/ above which
eagles and vultures circled in their
sky-piercing fight.
Bluebell had messages at Lady
smith. but it was not Of her mes
sages she was thinking as she neared
her destination. She was close to 1t
at last. She saw the little town nest
ling, as it seemed in the distance, al
most at the bottom Of Bulwaan,
though in truth separated from it by
wide stretches of meadow lands, with
the Kip winding it's course through
them.
Now she passed numerous kopjes OF
red earth, interspersed with shrubs,
between which grew abundance OF
flowers, white jasmine and climbing
convolvulus, and the rich glory of red
and yellow bloom clustered thickly on
the low, dwarf shrubs which covered
the kopjes.
Bluebell had acquaintance in Lady,
smith. The Leslies were pretty we'll
known in the country.
She was Just turning into the town
when some one emerging from behind
sudden curve came towards her.
Bluebell started little and stopped
over Rover, richer color than exer-
else had brought there coming into her
cheeks.
In few seconds the new conner was
close to her. and lifting his big gray
hat from his head, paused by her
horse. He was a young man, perhaps
nearing thirty, attired in gray khaki,
and with a sunburnt face which show
ed that he was exposed to
all weather. For the rest, he had
been originally a fair-complexioned
man, with good features and an open,
frank expression. His dark gray eyes
were clear and steady, but could look
wonderingly soft and tender. They
did so now, though his expression was
one of much anxiety as he held out his
hand, into which Bluebell put hers
without a word.

II don't like him." she said to her
self. And yet why should I not? He
has done nothing to make me dislike
or distrust him."
Downstairs the two men were sit
ting together at the table, decanter
of Scotch whisky and two glasses be-
tween them.
They had been speaking in low
tones; but now, as the whisky began
to take effect, Leslie raised his.
- 'You are generous man, Moore!
he cried. And you are in earnest
when you tell me that this is the sole
return you ask for your extraordinary
generosity" -
"The sole return" Moore replied. He
raised his hands to his lips, and kept
it there for moment; then, dropping
it to his glass, which had stood full be-
side him all the time, though Leslie
had replenished his several times, he
added slowly: "But I must have that
return, Mr.. Leslie-that and no other.
I have set my mind upon it."

~ Of wounded was not known. The
American loss In killed and wounded
was 81.
Under date q January 23rd. Captain
Hendley, commanding at Vegas, N.
Mex, reported to Colonel Price that
every town and village, except Vegas
and Tucoloti, had declared in favor OF
insurrection, and that the entire pop
ulation seemed ripe for 1t. Tho In
surrection in eastern New Mexico was
inaugurated by the murder Of eight
Americans at Mora. January goth, 1S47.
and was continued in force until the
following July, having been marked
with many, atrocities on the part of
the insurgents. Thereafter the insur-
rection dwindled into depredations
committed by various bands Of Indians
instigated and led by Mexicsrs.'
Hardly party, large or small. trad
ers or soldiers, crossed the plains OF
New Mexico without being attacked.
Many men were killed and large num-
bers of horses, mules, and cattle driv-
en- off. In the latter part OF lS47 COM
parative safety was secured BY sta
tioning the troops at various points.
OF the insurgent prisoners, fifteen or
twenty were executed by sentence OF
court-martial. The othrrs were turned
over to the civil authorities.
The events resulting from the In
surrection did not escape the atten-
ton of Congress. That body on July
10th, 1S4s, passed resolution calling
upon the President for information IN
regard to the existence Of civil gov
eminent in New Mexico and Califor-
MIA, their form and character. by whom
instituted and by what authority and
how they were maintained and sup
ported; also whether any persons had
been tried and condemned for "trea-
son against tie United States In New
Mexico. President Polk replied to
said resolution in . message dated
July oath, 1848, in which he discussed
the character OF military government,
taking the broad position that such a
government may exercise 1.-The fullest
rights Of sovereignty" thereby ex-
planning the action Of the military au-
thorities in suppressing the !nsurrec-
tons.
The records show that similar
course OF action was followed In sup
pressing the instruction In California
in 1S4S, and re-establishing the SOW
ereignty of the United States.

I'VE have received 200 replies. Thes'

in the number of hands employed II
the 200 factories until the year 1899
after which there was an immediate
drop OF 10000 men in 1894. But unde'

the increase in the number Of mel
employed by these same factories ha

90.4S3, in 1897 they employed 1o9.6oOt

THE amount of wages paid by thest
same 200 manufacturers increased
steadily from 1890 to 1892, then there
was a drop in 1893 and another drop IN
1894. During the next two yearl
wages picked up, but 1t was not until
1897 that these same manufacturer
were paying out as much money II
wages as they had paid in 1892. Thu
increase Of their pay rolls in 1898 and
1899 is as gratifying to me, as it must
be to the men who are now busy al

Between 1894 and 1899 the zoe
manufacturers Of the National Asso.
citation, who reported to us, had in.
creased their payrolls by upwards Of
$3S,O00,000, In fact the amount OF
wages which they distributed last year
was almost double what they paid out
in 1894.
If this ratio Of increase were APP
piled to the whole country, without
taking into account the numbers OF
new factories that have been started In
the last few years, who can deny that
