EVOLUTIONARY PRISON SHIP.
Discovery of Remains OF Famous Old
Jersey" Used by the English
for Captured Yankees,

In building a section Of the new
ways for the construction OF the bat
tleShip Connecticut, at the Brooklyn
navy yard, the famous English prison
ship Jersey was lately discovered.
She was one of six prison ships used
during the revolution. Probably built
somewhere around the year 1920, she
saw some 30 years of service, fought
many a battle and was then con-
demned to be used as receiving YES
sci for American prisoners of war,
says the Scientific American.
OF the six prison ships, the Jersey
was by far the worst. She was
kind Of floating Black Hole OF Cal
cutta, and in her damp, leaky hold
half-starved American patriots per-
ished miserably. In her palmy days
the Jersey had a crew of about 400
men, huddled together as crews were
in those days. How appalling were
the conditions to which American
prisoners we're subjected may be gath
cred from the fact that 1900 prisoners
were kept on board almost constantly.
One historian SAYS "She was never
cleanSed, and lay in that cono1t1on
seven years. No fires warmed her
occupants in winter, no screen shell
tered them from the August sun, no
physician visited the sick, no clergy
man conSoled the dying there She
remained throughout the contest
center of sickness and death, always
replenished with new victims. The
bones of her dead, estimated at Il, 900,
lie buried on the Brooklyn shore"
When the war was ended the jersey
was burned at her moorings.
For years historical societies and
government officials have tried TO To-
cate the ship. The haf-burned null
lies in about two fathoms OF mud and
water about 500 feet from the dock.
Unless the hull is removed, the battle
ship Connecticut must be built di-
rectly over 1t. Whether the hulk will
be raised seems doubtful. About $500
would be required, and the delay In
the construction of the battleSh1p
would be considerable. The ways
where already behind time as 1t was
Interest in the old ship reached its
height when, some years ago, the
skeletons of 800 men were found IN
the yard. That these were the re-
mains of the men who had died In the
Jersey was definitely established
The bones were afterward buried In
Fort Greene park with impressive
ceremonies.

MINING IN SOUTH AMERICA.
Greatest Activity At Present Ia Chila and
Peru


The special commissioner of the Lon.
don Economist, whose reports on the
mining district countries have shown a
great deal Of discrimination and careful
observation, in a recent issue OF his
paper takes (! pessimistic view Of mining
in South America. While some Of his
remarks are undoubtedly just, it seems
to us that in other respects he has gone
too far. With regard to metal mining
in South America, he characterizes the
metal deposits as small and scattered, a
remark which might apply in some IN.
stances, but il il far from being true in
others. He has undoubtedly taken little
account oi the important deposits OF
gold and silver and other ores in the
mountain regions Of Peru and BOLIVIA,
while he has made very little account of
the still comparatively unknown
resources Of Brazil and also of the pos.
sibilities Of further discoveries in the
Guiana.
II is true, as the writer remarks, that
mining in Colombia and Venezuela has
been seriously disturbed by the political
troubles in those countries, while the
exploitation Of the gold placers Of
Ecuador has been far from successful.
In Venezuela no large mine has been
opened since the exhaustion OF FL Gallo.
II is not by any means impossible, how.
ever, that other mines may hereafter he
opened in the same district, which has
not been explored or prospected with
any approaches to COMPLETENESS. In
Brazil it is true that the Ouro Preto and
st. John del Rey are the only metal
mines of Importance, but it must be re-.
membered that large portion OF the
country is hardly known AS yet, and that
great opportunities tor metal mining in
the future are presented by the deposits
