What Water Power Can Do For A
Country,

Nature has not endowed the Swiss
soil with those treasures that in other
lands form the basis on which private
and public wealth is built, through in
dustry and trade, and yet Switzerland
is leading industrial country, able,
with its products, successfully to main.
tain its position in the commercial
world
This is made possible because its
many water powers atone SO plenteous-
ly for the lack of coal that very often
the saving in power cost is great
enough to pay for the transportation
of products to the borders of the
country, and even as far as the great
world markets, and also because the
people, owing to the thorough training
in their technical institutions, and
their intense practical activity at
home aud abroad, possess in an emi.
nent degree the capacity for the pro-
duction of goods of high quality. Ma
chine buildings takes a leading posi-
ton among Swiss industries, rs is evil
deuced by the success achieved at the
Paris Exposition. In particular, the
manufacture of turbines has developed
to such a degree, in consequence of The
need for making the most of the coun-
try's water power, that it is now carried
on by twelve mpanies.-Prof Franz

How Much Gold Have We.

The quantity of gold in the United
States has long been subject of dis
pute. Although the great battle of the
monetary standards, which began
about the year 1875, the question of the
country's aggregate gold supply has
been central point in the controversy.
1t could not be otherwise, for the argu-
ments of the bimetallists have been
based mainly upon the cumulative
theory. The gold men have stoutly
disputed the correctness of this theory,
but at the same time they have insisted
that, even if it were to be accepted as
sound, the supply of gold was ample
for all monetary purposes.
This brought up the question of how
much gold there actually was. The
gold men have appealed TO the United
States treasury statistics as imparting

British Torpor and American Enter
prise.

Up to the present only few of the
British manufacturers, and we fear
none of the workmen, in the iron in
dustries have at all realized the forces
that are at work, the magnitude and
enormous natural advantages and re-
sources which the Americans possess,
with their cheap ore and coal com bined
with their skill aud enterprise, their
labor-saving appliances, their low rail
way rates and water freightage of their
ores from mines to furnaces, aud the
best equipped works in the world. All
this places them at a great advantage,
whilst England has hitherto been
working according to antiqusted "ding
dong" methods. Those manufacturers
who have visited the States are quite
alive to the seriousness of the situa-
ton, and they appreciate the necessity
for themselves and their engineers to
invent new methods, and to adopt
those in operation in America, so as to
reduce the cost of manufacturing and
bring themselves into line with the
most modern adaptions, thus fitting
themselves to compete in the coming
race with American competition. If
this is done, Britain may yet supply a
fair proportion of the worlds require
ments of steel products, but if she fails
to rise to the occasion her past indus
trial prominence will pass away.

A Pilgrims Progress Through
Mohave.


Nj. NJ. Rice has returned from a trip
through the mining camps of Mohave
county, and imparts to The Prospect
following information: Mohave county,
in the past, the banner subdivision Of
Arizona for leasing and chloriding, is
at present very quiet, although its
merits as rich mineral region are I'M
disputed, very little is being accom-.
plished outside of Chloride and its
immediate vicinity. The Elkbart,
Minnesota, Tennes see and Mollie Glib
son are employing a number of men,
and are amply equipped for develop
ment and production.
White Hills, the once rich producing
camp, is now dull place, the company
employing about 10 men with few
chloriders. They are awaiting the arri-
val of the officials of the company to
determine the future of the camp.
Mineral Park, Cerbat, Stockton Hill
and Gold Basin are doing little or
nothing towards developing their IN.
doubted resources. A new camp has
been started up in the Colorado river
range called Gold Roads, where com
pany purchased recent find and are
developing a very favorable property.
A great many Colorado mining men
have been investigating the conditions
of Mohave county recently, but with
the exception of II. S. Mckay, who has
an option on the Eureka at Cerbat, the
Prince George at Stockton Hill, ana
the G. o. ID. none seemed inclined to
invest. These properties have been
good producers, and no doubt under
proper management they will prove
good investments.
IL is hard to exp lain reason why so
little activity exists at present in Sec
ton whose past productiveness attests
to its merits, and where good proper
ties are apparent. Mohave county has
been handicapped by Encouragement
in part and cupidity TO great degree
in many of its mining enterprises.
Large plants have been erected on en-
tirely worthless propositions, failure
causing reaction, as one grand failure
retards the success Of many worthy
properties.
Capital is shy about investing now in
any mining enterprise without proper

Bisbee Review.
In conversation with Star reporter
President Greene said that 100 ton
smelters would be added to the Greene
Cons olidated plant in La Cananea
from time to time and that the limit
would be 5000 ton capacity per diem.
This looks big, but Mr.. Greene assured
the Star that it was correct. There are
now over 1900 people in the camp and
the number will increase to 5000 by
the end of the year. There is plenty
of water and some going to waste; also
timber in abundance for all needs and
this under control of the company.
News from the Ray Copper mines, is
to the effect that there are two New
York experts there examining the
mines. They have been there week,
and from all that can be learned their
report will be very much in favor of
the mines.
The Ben Eaton mines are looking
well, they are under development, with
foot shaft, which at the bottom
shows fine copper ore. Eaton has
made sale of some of his mines re-
ceiving payment thereon. Billy
Coon's gold property is developing
into veritable bonanza 1t has a 30
foot ledge, aud the grade of ore is good.
This property is located about half a
mile from the Ray mill

The Troy mines are most promising.
Thirty men are employed. A new

tract to freight 200 tons of high grade

Silver in the ORIENT.

The commercial position of the
United States in the orient, incident to
the possession of the Philippines,
should insure to the country, and par
ticularly to the Pacific mining section
of it, the control of the worlds greatest
oliver consuming market-the Chinese
empire. A step in the right direction
toward this control is the establish
ment of a Manila branch of the United
States mint. A second step, and one
certain TO be made before long, will be
the establishment of United States
banking facilities in Manila and
Shanghai and more or less in other
Chinese cities. After these two steps,
the rest will follow naturally. From
the existence of causes or influences
that would seem to have no reasonable
business excuse for existence, steam
ship freight charges are less on silver
shipped, say, from Germany, via the
Suez canal and around the south of
Asia to Shanghai, a voyage of over
thirty five days, than they are from
San Francisco across the Pacific to the
same place, a voyage of not more than
