PHARAOH'S MINES.


LONDON, Oct 1S.-Egypt is the latest re-
crut to the ranks of the sold-producing
countries of the world. The ancient mines
of the Pharaohs, which were in existence
long before the time of The exodus of the
Israelites and furnished gold for the adorn-
ment of the Temple of ,;apylon, will shortly
yield bullion for the coinage of the TWEEN
tieth century.
Charles j. Afford, mining engineer, who
has just explored the mountainous regions
between the Nile and the Red sea, and sue
ceeded in locating several long-lost mining
sites, this evening gave the Institute of
Mining and Metallurgy the results of his
investigation. Despite difficulties arising
from scarcity of water and lack of trans
portation." said he, Egypt offers a prom

which once possessed sufficient gold TO sup
ply the whole world, is still rich not alone
in gold but also in lead Silver TURQUOISE.
emerald, beryl, porphyry and marble. As
says of quartz mines, which have not been
worked since the ninth century, show a
percentage of gold ranging from a few
pennyweights TO ten ounces ton. The
Egyptian government Is not particularly
anxious at present TO encourage the de-
velopment of the mines, yet offers corpora
tions and responsible individuals prospect
ing concessions of large areas and mining
leases on fairly reasonable terms. The in
dependent strolling prospector is not well
come. His presence is deemed particularly
undesirable.
The Egyptian desert is not so rainless as
generally imagined. Torrential storms fur
nish water in abundance. The difficulty lies
in conserving the supply. Still similar OBJ
stacles have been successfully overcome in
western Australia, Nevada and Utah. The
climate Of Egypt, particularly that of the
eastern desert, is one of the finest in the
world. In summer the heat Is somewhat
excessive, but the air is always dry. Ma
laria is unknown. While transportation is
possible only by means of cames, there is
no reason why their place should not be
taken by oxen and horses, which were used
i'm ancient times when the camel was I'M
known.

tween Kineh and kosseir will pass close

ages of the country outweigh the difficult

In spite of the heavy immigration during
the past decade, the proportion of native
born has increased over that of 1890, it
being s6.S per cent. against $50 per cent
ten years ago. In 1860 the percentage of
native-born was SOS; in 1870, SIS; in 1850,
$751;. Those who have studied the matter
express the belief that the foreign-born
element has passed the maximum of rela-
tive strength, and that henceforth there
will be a steady decline in the percentage.
The absolute net addition TO foreign-born
population was only 1.2l1,5SS. During the
preXious ten years it was nearly 8. 900. 900.

The argument before the Supreme Court
of the United States on the question of the
right of Congress TO prohibit the transmits
sion of lottery tickets and correspondence
by express raises an interesting question.
If the right exists it is under the clause
of the Constitution which gives Congress
power TO regulate commerce between the
states. That provision has wide scope
but it may be doubted whether it can be
construed to include lottery tickets or pri-
Yate correspondence. The government had
a clear right, and did eminently proper
thing in excluding lottery matter from
its mails, but express companies are on
a different footing. and it is by no means
certain that lottery correspondence, vicious
though it may be, comes under the head of
interstate commerce.
