..SENA TOR CAEFERYS
SPEECH.

The following is portion of
Senator Caff~ry's speech on the
policy regarding the Phil ppine
Islands. We would like to print
more ct the senator's able and
patriotic speech, but can not do so
for want of space:
t.Mr President, it occurs to me
tina: the infinite pains taken to show
that the Fllipinos are not American
citizens are due to the fact that if
we can hold them outside, beyond
the pale of the Constitution, then
re can protect certain home indus
tries against the competition of the
products Of those islands. That
appears to me to lie one cause, if
not very great cause. 1t has been
alleged that this war was undertaken
for commercial greed. l do not
believe it. 1 would be loath to
believe, Mr.. President, that there
Vas any man or that there were any
set Of men In the United States so
utterly depraved, SO lost to every
sentiment of honor and patriotism
and humanity, as to undertake
war of this character, so disastrous
Snd so destructive, for the mere
ipurposaof commercial greed.
81 believe that after the war with
Spain was declared ceEeaiR~parti rites
took advantage of the situation IN
order to exploit our acquisitions for
their personal benefit. but do not
believe that the President of the
United States or his advisers ever
contemplated or projected war of
this kind in order that certain men
might derive benefit and advantage.
That to me Is SO appalling, that to
me shows such utter depravity and
inhumanity as to be incredible.
SHOW, sir if these people are
citizens of the United States and
are, as the Senator from Indiana
stated and as the report of the
Schurman commission states, utter
~ incapable of self government,
what are We going to do with themF
Are We going to tolerate for all time
rule beyond the Constitution,
deriving it's source and power only
from the Congress of the United
States: Is not that abhorrent to
the doctrine laid down by the distin-
9uished men Of the past, the dead
statesmen of bygone years. Does
not this distinguished man from
Alassachusetts. Mr.. Sumner. say
that the will and consent of the Peo-
ple must be had first before we can

A Copper Combine.

New York, May l2.-lt has just been
learned according TO the Times, that a
new consolidation of copper properties
is soon 10 come into the field. 1t will
take over a number of Mexican and
United States copper mines and be
known probably as the Pan-American
Copper Syndicate company. One of
the men interested in the project said
that it was now sure of success aud
that the company will be incorporated
with a nominal capitalization in New
Jersey, probably within the next ten
days.
at will be put on conservative
basis" said he. "The aggregate capi-
talization of the companies to be
merged is over 70,000000S, and the
new corporation which takes them all
in will be capitalized only at l5,00o,OOJs
to lS.OOJ,OO0s. We intend shortly to
apply to have the stock listed here and
on the London exchange. Besides
mine owners, a number of bankers and
railroad men are going into it. We
now have two experts examining the
properties in Mexico and the services
of Prof. Bicketts of Columbia will also
be utilized"
The Mexican properties include,
among others, the San Luis mine at
Durango (Mex.), the San Luis mine at
chihuahua Mex, the San Anito, com
prising four of those classed in the
Boloo group, located at village called
Cabblobula, and the San Pedro of San
Pablo (which is the capital of the state
of Durango as Chihuahua is the capital
of the state of Chihuahua.) Most of
the mines in the Boleo group are said
to be controlled by the Rothschilds,
but not any of these come into the
combinations.
One of the American companies to
be absorbed is the Arizona, Eastern *
Montana company, which has mines at
Tom bstone, Cochise and Mayer "a. To,
and runs smelter at Bigbug postoffice

Commercial Mining company, controlled

Prehistoric Gold Mining in Africa.

When | went into the Geelong ancient
slopes (Which are left intact, spent
considerable time fossicking about at
depth. | was happy, in turning over
the debris, in coming upon two granite
balls, bearing evidence of having been
used as hammers, almost exactly round
and about the size of two hands
Gle nched. In parts the ancient Slopes
were very narrow, and one had to pen
citrate to cavities (stopes) of not more
tha two or three feet from roof to foot
wall, In other parts the slopes we're
quito cavernous. In the latter the wall
was frequently alcove in character,
smooth, and in parts still black from
smoke, and among the debris we're
rerAains of charcoal. IL Is believed
land can quite credit the theory that
the procedure of the ancients was to
light fires in the Slopes and when the
gold bearing rock cooled, to use granite
hammers to break down the ore. To
go further, the chipped-of gold bearing
rock would probably be put into the
native baskets and carried to the sur
face. | found occasionally at the top
of the kopies, or little hills, where
| there we're little masses of hard rock,
patches of indentations in fiat areas of
rock, Just as though mortars had been
sunk into the rock Beside the pots
were numerous slight elongated inden-
| tations. IL would seem from other rock
i'm plements of grinding character that
| the indentations we're made in the
course of grinding the rock flakes into
powder, after the rock, roughly broken
out in the stopes, had been broken up
small.
In nearly all cases mines are near
pools or streams and frequently by the
sides of these bodies of water are found
rock pots somewhat similar to those
found on the kopjes. We can imagine
that the powder was deposited in these
rock pots, flushed with water, the sand
driven off and the gold, sinking in the
bottom, was eventually collected.-R

Mazatzak Range.

The Silver Belt received pleasant
call recently from j. G. Marts, If Rye,
and f. +. Eisenhour. The latter gentle
man has for the past year been devel-
oping a group of nine claims on the
eastern slope of the Mazatzak range,
five miles west of Rye postoffice. The
property is known as the Hoboken
group, and the development consists Of
J0foot tunnel on one claim and a
6)-foot tunnel on another. The 50-foot
tunnel on claim No. | will have to be
run about Is feet further to the ore.
An open cut on the suface shows ten
feet of ore, which Mr. Eisenhour says
assays from ls to 30 per cent in copper
and 1873 in gold. On claim No. 2 there
Is a surface showing of l8 inches of
azurite and carbonate ores averaging
81 per cent copper, aud the ledge be-
tween walls Is tour and half feet wide.
+. =. Jordan, of the Verde Queen, is

tered in doing the location work Is rich

effected. The ore which has been pro-
duced so far is of a very promising
character, and every indication has
been met with that there are leads
existing that will prove on proper ex.
ploitation to be producers of a high
grade ore. There is ample water sup
ply on the ground, most important
factor to the favorable working of the
mines. Morris Denn is one of the
partners with Mr.. Gerstenberg in this
important and valuable group of
claims.
The Journal-Miner say: The old
Tiger mill in the Bradshaw mountains
was started up last Monday and had Il
successful weeks run, and everything
looks promising for its success in the
future. George P. Harrington, who is
superintendent Of the property, has in
troduced an innovation in the manner
of conducting mining camp in Ari-
zona, by closing down on Sundays, On
Saturday last he posted the following
notice on the property: To the En-.
ployes of the Harrington Mining Com
pany: The mill aud mines of this
com pany will be closed down during
Sunday of each week from a. m. Sun
day morning until 6 a. IN. Monday.
The day millman, engineer and pump
men will work so much of Sunday
morning as is necessary to clean the
plates, clean the boiler, repair the
pumps and get everything in shape to
start ou Monday morning, for which
they will receive credit for one-half
shifts work Board for Sundays will

Whence Did It Come.

There has been no end of speculation
as to the origin of the Cape Nome
placers, accompanied with a more or
less general assumption that there is
something strikingly abnormal about
them. 1t Is true that the beach dig
gings are somewhat out of the ordinary.
That Is to say, such deposits have not
often been found. Still they are not
by any means wholly unknown, there
being some upon the coast of Oregon,
and perhaps elsewhere. But we see no
reason for supposing that the general.
ly accepted theory of placer deposits
does not apply to the coast of Alaska.
The contention that the gold was
washed up on the beach by the action
of the tides and waves never seemed to
rest upon reasonable basis. The ten.
dency of fine gold in sands when acted
upon by water in motion is always
toward lower level, by reason of its
specific gravity. The shape of all
beaches is downward toward the sea,
aud the tides recede just as much as
they advance. Under such circum-
stances the gold naturally would be
washed lower and lower into the depths
of the sea.
1t is also to be considered that the
gold exists not merely in the beach
sands, but upon the high tundra above,
where the waves never reach. So far as
this gold is concerned it certainly is
more reasonable to believe that it has
been washed down from the mountains
than up from the sea. Besides all this
the placers are also found along the
creeks and gulches which break out
from the mountains, just as they were
aud are found in California aud wher.
ever placers abound.
1t may be true and probably is that
sands Is owing to the trend of the coast
line and the surface formation of the
ground under the water. III, for ex-
am pie, the beach were very steep, the
gold would speedily wash down out OF
reach; while, if fiat and ridgy, the ac'
cessions of new gold from the high.
lands might he greater than the loss by
the action of the waves, and conse-
quently the sands become richer aud
richer.
The prevailing belief among geolo'
gists is that all placer gold has been
\ derived from mineralized veins and
other rocks forced up from the subter'
ranean depths by volcanic action, the
fine gold being gradually washed down
and deposited in the lower places. No
description that we have seen of any
Alaskan deposits fairly suggests a
different origin.-Anaconda Standard.

v. S. Mining Decision.

A recent decision OF the general land
office has occasi)ned quite stir in
mining cirles, the ruling being appar-
emily to the effect that In applying for
patent to group of claims the
applicant must show that 5os worth of
work has been done on each claim in
the ground.
For several years the practice of the
land office has been that where a shaft
costing 2.50os was sunk on group of
five claims it was regarded as sufficient
for patent for the entire group. The
decision referred to seemed to reverse
this ruling by requiring each claim
to be developed to the extent of 50os.
Later information shows that the
change ia practice is not so sweeping
as at first supposed. In the case in
volved, the applicant endeavored to
apply the work done on ground for
which patent was issued in 1873 as the
5OOs assessment work on claim OF
a more recent date, and the application
was denied. Under some rulings the
land Office accepted work done on
patented claim as sufficient compli-
ance with the law requiring 500s worth
OF work to be done when applied to
contiguous claims subsequently located.
The land office now holds that this
practice is not in accordance with the
law. The register Of the Salt Lake
land Office announces officially that
where the work is done and the i'm
provements made upon single claim
of group, tine claims of the group
consolidated and the whole group em-
braced in one entry and application for

Achievement Of Science.

One can feel, II he cannot see, the
marvellous strides which have been
made during the past half century in
the application of science to mining,
freight and passenger transportation
and to the thousand and one things in
domestic and social economy which, in
the aggregate, elevates the human race
and separates it by wider margin from
the brute creation. This elevation can
he felt. Man moves upon a higher
plane than he did a few decades ago.
He works with almost speaking tools,
distance is annihilated. aud the secrets
Of other worlds are being unfolded to
the expectant ear of man. The elements
Of nature are being mastered aud be-
coming his slaves, brought to his feet
by the application Of principles of
science, coexistent with the Creator,
aud learned by the creature in his on
ward aud upward march to perfection
Mining was slow. laborious work a
few years ago. Rich ground alone
would pay. Today % per ton rock
makes fortunes, and the -four gold of
placers fills the longest of purses.
Science did the business. Fifty years
ago the slow moving ox-trains con-
sumed six months of time to cross the
plains. Today the same distance Is
sccomplished in three or four DAYS.
Science relegated the OK to the butch
ers shambles, and the old-timer among
back numbers. Our mothers spinning
wheels aud knitting needles figure only
in ancient novels and steam and light
ming moving spindles usurp their place.
Man talks to man through the agency
Of electricity, and letters are devoted
alone to the details of business or to
express the emotions of lovers. Science
has achieved wonderful results within
the last half-century. The aged man
who follows the footsteps of his fathers
l. lost in the movements of the present
Electricity and steam are making new
world of this old world of ours, and
man is demonstrating that he is but 9
little lower than the angels.
But the wonders of electricity have
MT yet ceased. A Polish scientist
with an unpronounceable name, will
place on exhibition at the Paris expo
sition an instrument called the telletro
scope, by means of which, wher
attached to the telephone, one may not
only talk with those at the other end oI

Is wonderful instrument. By it thu
