CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, Aug. 10
Col. Charles Scott Venable died at noon
Saturday at his home in this city in his
seventy fourth year. Since 1886 he has
led an inactive life, having retired that
year from the active duties of his profess
sorship in the departmental mathematics
at the University Of Virginia Some time
prior to his resignation his health began
to fail and he has not since been a well
man.
Colonel Venable was born April 10, 1927.
in Prince Edward county, Va. In 1856 he
was elected to the chair of natural his
tory in the University of Georgia, and in
1857 to that OF mathematics and astrono-
my in the College of South Carolina In
1850 he was appointed one of five ccmmis-
sioners to observe the total solar eclipse
of that year and went to Labrador for
that purpose.
He was with the Congaree Rifles in 1860
as second lieutenant and went with them
to Charleston to take part in the attack
Oh Fort Sumter. He was appointed on the
staff Of Gen. R. E. Lee in 1862 and con-
tinued there to the close of the war.
He was then elected to the chair of
mathematics in the University of Virginia.
where he continued for thirty years. when
he resigned. He was thereafter made pro-
fessor emeritus.
To his Iabors ani successes as teacher
he added those of author, and he has to his
credit a number of excellent works on
mathematics. He was twice chairman OF
the faculty. He was twice married and his
children are we'll known residents of Vir-
ginia and North Carolina.
His funeral took place this morning.

AT Old Orchard. Maine, the Christian Al
lance Convention has raised forty two
thousand dollars, mostly in pledges, for
the cause of foreign missions The leader
of the aszembIage. the Rev. DR.. A. B.
Simpson, of New York, declared that the
missionaries who have had 10 fee from
China viii shortly be going back, their
number increased by scores Of others to
join them in spreading the gospel It
may be so, but we entertain doubts on
the subject. II the Chinese want the mis-
sionaries, Of course they may have them
and welcome But We do not believe that
the Congress Of Nations when it meets viii
be inclined to force them upon an unwin
ing and protesting Government and IeO-
pie. It is an open question whether the
harm they have done does not more than
couuterbalance any sentimental good they
may claim to have accomplished. Mis-
sionartes have no more right than other
people to go where they are not wanted.
If they insist upon doing so it should be
distinctly understood that it IS at their
own risk

IF we are to believe the Chinese reports

Christians have been massacred in that

A New York CORES pendent of the
Dallas News writes: Texans have un-
earthed store OF hidden wealth almost
beneath the surface of Wall street and
within easy view of the tall sky -scrapers
which stand as monumentsoftheprog
and enterprise of the great metropolis.
An ancient copper mine, which was
opened and worked nearly two CEN
suries ego by Cornish miners for the
historic Schuyler family on the Jersey
shore of the Hudson River, is again to
add its product to the mineral output
of the world. This mine, with its vast
subterranean chambers, It's numerous
shafts aud tunnels and it's store of wealth,
has lain neglected and almost forgotten
for more than q generation. From its
rocky recesses was drawn the metal
which entered into the making of the
guns used by Washington at Valley
Forge; from Ii also came the metal
which forms the roof of the Aston

hesitancy on the part of its managers
in preparing for operations on an
extensive scale.
The Dignowity brothers have for
years been engaged in mining and
prospecting in Texas, Mexico, Arizop q
and New Mexico and 1t seems little
odd that they should turn from that
new and undeveloped field to the old
aud thickly populated section OF the
United States to bring to light the
Oldest copper mine In America for the
records show that this mine was discov-
cred in 1719 by negro slave belonging
to Aren't Schuyler, the ancient proprie-
tor of the domain.
These records also show that twenty
five years before the Revolutionary
War a shipment of 2 500 tons of Is per
cent copper ore from these deposits
was sent to the Bristol copper and
brass works of Swansea, Wales, and
other large shipments were made from
the mine up to 1868. In 1853 Schuyler
imported from England at q cost of
f3 900 the first steam engine ever
brought to this country. This was put
in operation at the mine, but was
destroyed by fire in 1872 and lay in
ruins during the revolution. This old
engine was afterward habilitated and
placed on exhibition at the Centennial
in 1876 and at the Worlds Fair in
Chicago in 1893, and attracted wide
spread attention

slave labor directed by Cornish miners
who had been brought to this country
for that purpose. 1t was operated con-
tinuously from that time until 1868.
when the great French combine forced
the price of copper down to an unpro-
fitable figure. About that Time, TOO,
the mine became flooded and as there
was then no such pumping machinery
as has been developed in later days the
expense of draining the mine was an
insurmountable obstacle, and it was
abandoned. Since, through the ell
forts of Mr.. Dignowity and his asso-
ciates. it has been cleaned out, many
or the old tools, drills, picks. bsrrows,
etc, used in working the mine having
been found. and an interesting collec-
ton of these evidences of ancient in
dustry may be seen at Mr.. Dig
nowity's office In this city. Recently
James V. Dignowity of San Antonio
has Joined his brother here in the OPP
GRAFTON of the mine and with them
il F. r. Moore, son of Col. r. M.
Moore. of the customs service at San
Antonio. It is their purpose to fully
de velop the property with the aid OF
modern time and labor-saving machine
ry and they expect to reap big for
tune out of their enterprise. An offer
OF over q million for the mine has al
re ady been turned down by them.
In former times the ore taken from
the mine was shipped to Swansea or
Bristol to be reduced and rendered
serviceable for commerce and hence 1t
required one of unusual richness to
yield q profit above the enormous
expense of handling it. Now, however,
ore of far lower grade can be handled
with more profitable results, and as
the assay shows the ore from the Schuy-
Ter mine to be of fair grade, there is no
