The Situation in Venezuela.

The mining industries are especially
interested in what is going on just
now in Venezuela. An American cor
poration in that country has appealed
to the United States for protection
against the action of the Venezuelan
government, which has threatened to
forcibly dispossess the company, in
violation, the company claims, of the
valuable asphalt concession of which
it is the possessor.
The asphalt interests of Venezuela
we're exploited under a grant made by
the Venezuelan government in 1888 to
the New York and Bermudez company,
an American enterprise. This con-
cession General Castro, the present
president, now repudiates, on the
ground that the bounda y lines as
surveyed by the company, overreach
those specified in the official papers.
The Warner & Quinlan company, of
Syracuse, n. Y, subsequently pur-
chased from Venezuela the right to
exploit one of the lakes embraced in
this grant. The sale of another cor
poration of lands conceded to the Ber
mudez company raised legal question
to be settled by the Venezuelan courts,
and in which the United States will
take no part.
The position taken by Venezuela at
the present time is thought not to be
indicative of any international ill-feel-
ing, hut TO have its foundation in the
bad financial plight of the country,
and the desire of the present admins
tration TO refill its depleted treasury
by disposing of new concessions on
more advantageous terms than was for
merly the case.
The mining and public lands of
Venezuela, with water rights, are given
to corporations free, with the proviso
that certain improvements must be
made within a certain period. The
Bermudez company claims that dur
ing its twelve years of possession it
has erected valuable machinery and
buildings at the scene of its operations,
aud has carried on its plant in good
faith. 1t is said that its employees are
willing to fight for the retention of the
asphalt lands, aud that an attem pit has
been made by the government there
to seize the firearms of the Bermudez
Company.-Mining aud Metallurgy.

What One Sheep Per Acre Would
Bring American Farmers.

One sheep per acre-lf every Ameri-
can farmer would keep only one sheep
for each acre, these could be fed at a
profit of a full 100 per cent yearly,
says the Breeders Gazette. The sheep
would very soon increase the products
of the land fully % per cent. and in
time would double the average yield of
all the crops. We should be the larg-
est wool producing country in the
world, the wool wonld be manufactured
in the cities and mills and busy towns
would spring up and the people en-
ployed in them would call upon the
farmers for food; more clothing would
be needed; the whole condition of the
country, in fact, would be changed for
the better, and wealth would be evenly
distributed. Every year the fertility
of the land would increase, and the
foolish cry to the effect that the hu.
man race is about to want for bread,
because of the inability of the farms to
grow wheat, would be sauelched and
the false prophets of general disaster
and collapse might hide their heads
and be ashamed to look sheep in the
face. And there is positively nothing
to hinder this, if only beginning we're
made by the farmers. Every four
years we might double the numbe of
sheep, and soon reach the limit men
toned. Thus it is that the sleeps
