SLOP PALS.

There Is an ordinance that makes it
fine of So for any one TO interfere
with garbage pals. &c, after they arc
deposited on the street, but 1t is not
regarded much. a number of colorcd
people who have hogs on the suburbs
go around the city and pillagc in the
pals. take what they want and leave
the balance. and If there is any water
or liquid of any kind in the vessel they
terrible smell to arise; and. oftentimes,
when spoken to. they become impu-
dent. The police will no doubt be on
the lookout and catch one or two and
let the fine be imposed, and then il
Will break them up. The nuisance is
general. and numerous complaints are
heard all over town about them.

EkaterIninsk's Importance.

Through the opening recently by
Grand Duke Vladimir Of the new naval
stronghold and seaport OF Ekaterln-
insk, Russia may be said to enter upon
a new era of considerable Importance.
not only to Great Britain, but also to
the United States. For in Ekaterin-
insk she obtains for the first time a
seaport on the Atlantic open all the
year round, whence her northern fleet
can sally forth at will to the Atlantic
ocean without any danger of its being
shut up in the Baltic sea. Until now
the northern half of Russia's navy has
been practically useless during the
whole Of each winter-that is to say,
for nearly six months of the year-ow-
ing to the ice in the Baltic, while In
the event of war it would be the cas-
lest thing in the world for Sweden and
Germany combined, or even one or
these two powers separately. to bar the
entrance of the Baltic and thus pre-
vent the egress Of the Russian fleet
The entrance to the Baltic is SO mar
row and SO difficult that 1t may be
said to be commanded by the guns OF
the Swedish forts, while it would re-
Quire but small British naval force
to blockade the outlet, 1t being as
sumed, Of course, that Germany would

Gold in the Philippines.

It is said there is not stream rising

same is true Of other islands OF the
Philippine group-which has not its
gold bearing sands. The alluvial de-
posits Of the precious metal have been
garnered for many years. but no thor
ough exploration for gold at its sources
in the mountains has ever been made,
because the spaniards were unable to
conquer the tribes inhabiting the in
terror regions. Some Of these tribes
are said to look upon the digging up OF
the earth as a sacrilege, and they Will
not seek gold in that way. nor permit
others to do 1t, lest the wrath of the
gods should grow hot against them

"1t was high time for the Silver Re-
publicans to disband their organic
alton. In 1896 the silver states of the
Rocky mountains Utah,
Montana, Idaho and Nevada-gave
Bryan total plurality OF 241, ,265
votes. In 1900 Utah has gone over to
the Republicans, and the rem aiming
states have given Bryan a total plur-
ality of little over $4,000 votes. 1t
WAS for this handful of impotent sill
verite suffrages that the Democr ats
were twice induced to abandon the
principles of jefferson, Jackson, Ben
ton and Tilden to follow the jack o.

A writer in the American Mining
News says that while in general
sense the mining industry may be
termed speculative, it does not stand
alone in this category, for an element
of speculation enters into most branch
es of commerce and industry. A re-
Prospect of mining in the United States
will show that where skill and capital
have been properly applied in mining
operations, the result has been the
creation of riches for individuals and
companies. Statistics prove that the
losses in legitimate mining enterprises
have been less than 80 per cent, while
in ordinary mercantile pursuits usu-
ally classed as non-speculatiye, the
percentage of loss is over 50 per cent.
The nearest approach to non-specu-
lative Investments are government
bonds, real estate mortgages and saw
ings banks, whose deposits are largely
invested in mortgages. But even these
are in degree speculative, since the
value of real estate fluctu ates, and
mortgages may depreciate on account
of the location or environment of the
property mortgaged The rate of in
terest that can be secured from this
class of 'non-speculative' investments
is SO small that, in the main, it at
tracts only wealthy persons who do
not care about increasing their wealth.
Industrial, mercantile, manufacturing
and transportation enterprises are
subject to loss in a thousand ways,
but the worlds progress is due far
more to those who take speculative
risks than to those who shrink from
every proposition involving them.
The records show that, properly
conducted, mining is one of the safest
investments for capital. One of its
attractive features is that it is specu-
lative to the extent that an additional
ten feet sunk in a shaft or another foot
driven in tunnel may strike bon
anza OF ore that would quickly add
enormously to the profits of every
stockholder in the mine. Instances
where mining investments have multi
piled a thousand-fold in very short
time have become SO common of late
years that they no longer cause any
special comment.

years, placing the republican party
under It's several names of Federal,

OF the second Cleveland administr alton

Answering Some Questions.


A dyke is vein-like mass of erup-
tive rock intruded from great depth
and cutting older rocks, whether sedi-
mentary, metamorphic or massive.
They may conform with such older
rocks in strike and dip or may cut
across them. A granite dyke may in
trude an older granite formation. A
true fissure vein is vein which has
formed in fracture of the earth's
crust which extends to unknown but
certainly TO great Depth All fissure
veins are true veins. The term "false
fissure vein" indicates nothing. A
cash vein is the result of the erosion
of lens of quartz or other mineral,
the lower portion only remaining.
They occur most commonly in mica
schists and rock of similar character.
Most assures are formed as the result
of tremendous compressive stress in
the rocks, thought by some to be due
to the cooling of the interior OF the
earth and a consequent attempt OF the
outer crust to readjust itself to the new
condition. Under this stress rocks
along certain lines are often wrinkled,
as it were, the incipient stage of fold
ing which results later if the stress
continues. Should the strain continue
after folding has taken place, a point
is eventually reached when the rigid
rock masses are no longer able to
withstand the strain and fracture
results. Displacement nearly always
follows, but the amount of movement
is sometimes scarcely noticeable. In
other cases it reaches many thousands
of feet. These movements are seldom
violent but continue over a long per-
iod of time. Mineral solutions ascend
along the planes thus made and a
fissure vein is formed. This is the
true fssure vein. A plane of weakness
having been established, dykes are
also often thrust in along the same
plane or near it. In some instances
the dyke has been intruded first, the
vein forming subsequently. In the
early stages of the formation of the
vein the stratas are bent and twisted
and many open spaces and zones OF
crushing are formed. Should the stress
upon the rocks find relief elsewhere or
cease entirely no fissure would result,
though mineral solutions might pass
upward along this zone of compression
and folding and many lenses of ore
might result. AS these lenses usually
succeed each other in given direction,
often overlapping, they practically
constitute a vein, and in some in
stances may be called a true vein.
Where the torsion of the rocks has
resulted in the formation of lenses of
quartz or ore at considerable distances
from each other, and the upper portion
of one of these deposits is removed by
erosion, the remaining lower portion
constitutes the cash vein as described
above. A contact vein is an ore de-
posit lying between two unlike form
ations as limestone and quartzite.
Some years ago a contact was looked
upon with great favor but as the
genesis of ore deposits is becoming
better understood those prejudices in
favor of particular forms of deposit
and certain kinds of wall rocks are
appearing. g.-Min. & Sc. Press.

OLD THISTLE ACCOUNT.
State Has About $4,000 Coming In
From Verious Counties.

from NeE7OuS counties.
State Auditor Dunn in balancing I'D his
books finds that there Is still outstand-
ing, due the Russian thistle account
something like $4,000. This amount is
but small remnant of the sum that has
been put out on interest by the state
to counties that suffered greatly dozen
years ago from rank growth OF the OBJ
noxious weed.
Mr.. Dunn Is picking up the loose ends
of this and a number Of other small sums
that are due the state for various kinds
of aid extended. The seed and grain
loans, however, which amount to about
$4,000, will not be pushed to an immediate
settlement, as the state Is receiving
per cent interest, and Mr.. Dunn believes
It would be unnecessary hardship to call
for an immediate adjustment by the
counties interested.
At one time the Russian thistle became
so prevalent that it threatened to destroy
all the farmers crops in Western Mime
sofa, and spread until the legislature
stepped in and made q large apDropria-
ton to assist the counties In stamping
it out of existence.
The following are the amounts still due
the state for money advanced for the ex-
termination of the Russian thistle:
