ceased.
Gen. Hughes cables the news of the
first surrender of insurgents in the
island of Samar, 500 men, with two
field guns, 30 rifles and 20 bolos, giving
themselves up to che authorities.
The opinion prevails among the
United States officials that it will take
years to accomplish the economic pro-
gram of General Corbin. Civil and ed
ucational authorities hold that a con-
tinuance of the protection over minor
posts is necessary, aside from that af-
forded by the constabulary. 1t is gen.
orally expected that the concentration
will be more gradual than is anticipated
in Washington.

That large sums of money are spent
on geological gardens every one knows,
yet few persons have any idea of the
actual market value of the more i'm
portant animals in such gardens, and
for this reason an article on the sub
ject by Herr Ernest Pinckert, director
of the garden in Leipsic, Is now at
tracing attention in Europe. A ON
mon seal, he says, is worth only a few
dollars, but one of a rare species costs
from $500 to $3.50. A lion is worth
from $3.50 to 5000. according to its age
and race. A Siberian tiger costs 81 900,
a Bengal tiger $500 and a Java tiger
only $500. The price of a good zebra Is
not less than $500. and a good bison
costs $500. while an inferior specimen
can be bought for $500. An African
elephant cannot be bought for less thar
81, 200. Finally, Herr Pinckert says.
that of all exotic animals there is
hardly one which is as costly as the
giraffe, the lowest price for such an
animal being 5000 and the usual price
from $4,000 to IS 900. Many OF the
smaller animals in a geological garden
are also high-priced. one reason being
that for many rare animals there is a
keen competition. not only among
managers OF geological gardens. bu,
also among proprietors of circuses and
other travelling shows.

and DR.. A. B. Hamilton. Of the New
Rambler company, to this city to in

to state that these gentlemen were very
much surprised, perhaps as much SC
as the scientific world has since been
startled over the remarkable discov
cry.
The owners of the New Rambler had
never suspected the presence of plati
mum in their ore. There was no rea

discovery of platinum in rich quaint
ties in the New Rambler ore was made
Saturday afternoon. Immediately !he
wires were employed to herald the
news to Denver. Chicago, New York

created a sensation among mining
men
This discovery is without a parallel

a new epoch in the mining world. 1t
is the only place in the world where
platinum is found in veins with high
grade copper ore. It is m Of the
rare precious metals whose value ex-
ceeds hat of gold, and its discovery
in liberal quantities will attract more
universal attention to the riches of the
Grand Encampment country than all
its minerals combined.
Assays of average specimens Of three
carloads Of matter shipped from the
Grand Encampment smelter gave re-
turns of 81 per cent copper and 4.s4
ounces of platinum, a total Of a little
over $500 per ton.
Repeated tests of the ore as it is de-
livered at the smelter show that it all
carries platinum in quantities varying
from one and one-half to seven ounces
