GEN. FlrzHueH LEE ON CUBA.
Cuba has Right to be .Free--It She Maintains
a Good Government She will be.

Omaha, Neb., March 31.-Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee for the first time since his
retirement from the army has given ex-
preston to his views with regard to the
future of Cuba. The occasion was tho
banquet given in his honor at the Omaha
Club. After referring to his service as
consul general and In the army in that
island, he said in part: ~
"More than ever must there be an
exercise of patriotism in it's highest
sense by the citizens of the United
States. The Philippines are, ours by
treaty, and their future, 80 far as tho
United States is concerned, should be
duly determined by Congress aftor and
not before the armed resistance to the
authority of the United States has
ceased. The splendid exploit of Fun
ston throws brilliant light upon the
coming path of peace.
Porto Rico is ours by conquest, while
Cuba has its status fixed by the Teller
resolution in the act declaring war
| against Spain.
"The war was waged to mako Spain
withdraw its land and naval forces from
Cuba and relinquish it's authority on the
island. That having been accomplished
the United States is now concerned in
upholding it's solid pledge of paciflcation
in tho interests of all.
"Cuba will agree in time to the condi-
tions imposed by the Platt amendment
IN the interests of its own independence,
and in ordor that tho United Statos can
faithfully maintain the pledged paoifica-
tion of tho island
"Thirty-o ono members wore elected or
rather selected from tho whole island to
constitute Constitutional Convention.
When its work is completed tho organi-
zation of government should follow,
and whom that is accomplished the juris-
diction and control of tho island un-
doubtodly will bo turned ovor to tho
Cubans.
"Cuba's future will bo determined by
Cuba's craftsmanship. Should the col
lective Cuban wisdom be sufficient to
keep tho craft afloat on the wators of
prosperity and establish stable govern
mont strong enough to protect lifo and
property and give confidence to capital
there will be no disposition on tho part
of the United States to interfere, but if
the government problem cannot be
solved after a fair trial by the Cubans,
the future destiny of the Smile of tho
Sea, will be forever confided to tho care
OF tho great American RcDublic"

MRS. PRESTON S. BROOKS DEAD.
The Story Of the Gaming OF Senator Charles
Sumner RecaIled-A Donlal.

Mrs. Preston s. Brooks died at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. V. e. Nc.
Bee, in Norfolk, Va, last Saturday
night. The death of Mrs. Brooks brings
to mind an interesting historical Incl
dent In which her husband was involved,
and which was regarded at the time as
the first clash between tho North and
the South. Charles Sumner, Senator
from Massachusetts, was regarded as tho
most unsparing and the most feared and
most.hated opponent of slavery in Con-
gross when the Missouri compromise
was repealed in 1854, and in the contest
over tho admission of Kansas in 1853, in a
speech on "rho Crime Against Kansas"
he sharply censurod Senator Butler, of
South Carolina. Two days aftcrwartl,
on May %, 1856, rs Senator Sumner was
seated AT his desk in tho Senate cham
Der, when the Senate was not in session,
he was assaulted by Preston S. Brooks,
Representative from South Carolina,
and nephew of Senator Butler. Brooks
approached the seated Senator from be
hind and without warning he struck him
repeatedly on the head with heavy
cane. Senator Sumner strove to rso and
in so doing wrenchcd his desk from the
floor, but the repeated blows rained on
him rendered him unconscious and he
fell. Friends Of Brooks, with drawn
rovolvers, prevented any interference
The event was characterized by Sir
George Lewis as "thc beginning of the
Civil A No.

Brooks, but the resolution failed of the

Brooks, which was accepted, Canada to

Brooks failed to appear, giving as his
reason that he would have to "pass

signed from Congress, but was unani-
mously reelected. Senator Sumner was

service for nearly four years. The Incl

THE VALUE OF A NINE.
Experts Really Know Only tho
Rudiments OF HletalIuroy.

The assertion was made recently In a
scientific journal that it is never safe to
fix limit on the life OF any kind Of a
mine. and that this is true has been
proven so often In. the history OF the
mining industry that it would seem So
called experts would be more conserva-
tive In preparing estimates. But as
fools rush in where angels fear to
tread, /" so does the ready-made metal
lurgist OF the present time, who has no
more practical knowledge of mining
than jack rabbit, take his pencil and
figure out In dollars and cents just how
much ore a property will produce, and
many investors govern themselves by
the reports thus made.
Most OF the best paying quartz mines
operated today have passed through
the experience of condemnation, and
yet the clear sighted cannot now pre-
dict their end as producing properties.
In the earlier history of vein mining it
was almos5 universally believed that
the collaborating veins were not per-
manent. Some were assumed to ''peter
out" at the water level, because the
free gold disappeared from the matrix
and sulphurets took its place. a bet
ter knowledge of mineralogy introduced
new ideas concerning the values OF such
veins, and they are now liable to be
followed to indefinite depths. We have
merely scratched the surface, as IL
we're, of our mineral deposits, and the
deepest mines opened are yet in their
infancy.
The tin mines of Cornwall yielded
metal in the days OF the ancient PhGn-
icians, and their product has been an
article OF commerce ever since, while
many of the copper veins worked by
the Romans when In control OF Britain
are still productive. Some OF the mines
worked In Peru and Mexico by the
Spanish centuries ago are turning out
In these days to be the richest proper
lies IN either country.
The mill tailings heap of the Calumet
and Hecla mine in Michigan, estimated
to contain rs, 900, 900 tons OF material,
and has hitherto been classed as waste,
IL found to contain three-fourths OF one
per cent mineral, percentage higher
than that contained in the rock mined
and profitably treated in the Atlantic
copper mine.
Should operations in the levels of
that mine be suspended now it would
pay indefinitely to pump the drainage
of its workings, which is valued for the
mineral it carries in solution at 80, OOO,-
zoo year. New life has been given to
the low grade bodies in the Comstock
lode, which are practically inexhausti-
BILE, because smelling them yields
profit. No reasonable limit can, there
fore, be placed on the life OF any mine
now operated, or which may be here
after opened.

MANAGING A NINE.
Accounts Should Be Kept Against
All Openin6s.


The Mining and Scientific Press
gives the following timely advice re-
garding the management of mining
properties:
The manager of every mine should
keep 10 debit and credit form an ac-
count with every separsble part OF the
work under his charge. II Is the Gus
tom TO aggregate the underground
work into two accounts, mining work
and development or dead work. Each
of these should be divided 50 that
every separate drift, level or stope
should have It's own separate account.
Part OF these openings are dead work,
that Is, not directly productive at all.
They would be closed out monthly, or
whenever accounts were balanced for u
statement, to an inclusive dead work
account. Some of the dead work OPEN
.ngs are productive OF ore. These
would be credited with the commercial
metal values they produced, and only
the net balance would be transferred in
the closing out to dead work account.
Other openings, such as slopes, which
are distiuctively intended as value pro-
ducing, would have, like the others,
ueDltS mhue against buolu iOr iacoi I,
explosives, candles, timbers. black
smithipg, tools, etc, and credits by
the commercial ore values taken out.
The keeping of such balanced ac-
counts against individual mine OPEN
ings keeps the management in constant
torch with the weak points of the mine.
They show where the mining does not
pay The theory of main tanning an
average value to the ore output Of q
mine by mining ore that pays higher
than the average from one opening,
and ore that does not pay its cost
charges from another, is not defensible
as good business. Yet II can readily
occur where the average profit margin
is small, unless there is a system of &C.
counts such as described to discover
and eliminate the m lining that does not
pay its own costs.
