The Commerce Of CuDl.
An Unbalanced Trade With the
United States.

A complete review of the commerce
Of Cuba during the American occupa-
tion has been issued by the Bureau
of Insr1ar Affairs. 1t contains much
information bearing on the controvert-
ed points of the recent reciprocity de-
bate. The House compromise proposal,
it will be recalled, made as condition
predecent to Cuba's receiving the bene.
fits Of reciprocity, the enactment Of i'm
migration laws similar to those Of the
United States Senator Platu (Rep,
Conn., opposed such a requirement.
The immigration figures here present
ed show that Cuba received 22,So4 i'm
migrants during the year 1901, which
is typical of the whole period. OF these
1928, or 67 per cent. came from Spain.
The United States furnished 2,277. Me-
xico 1886, Porto Rico 1880. and China
654. There were 46S farmers, 1904
merchant dealers and grocers. The
members of the clergy numbered 73, of
whom 3S were from Spain. Oh the total
number, to7o9 were Of Latin extraction
which indicates that the racial condition
will not be perceptibly disturbed by
the recent political changes.

furnished 43 per cent; United King

Nye County a
Wonder.

We may all have neglected Nye
county in the past but are sill anx-
ious to cultivate her now-such is
the power of wealth. Almost any
country on earth would have been
satisfied with Tonopsh that mar
velous camp from which more
bullion values in ore have been
extracted since its discovery than
from any camp in the world for a
like period Of time, but Nye i'm
mediately began limiting at other
riches in store and row threatens
to Guido even her own Tonopah,
says the Carson News.
The new discovery is located
about eight miles northeast Of
Tonopah, and like Tonopah, was
discovered by men in moderate
circumstances.
The ledge is fixed in reports at
from IL to II feet wide. The
News has the smaller figures from
reliable authority. The entire
twelve feet will average over $500
per ton. Veins in ii run from
$4,000 to $4,000 per ton.
For seven miles the country has
been located and this ledge or lode
is believed to be in many Of them.
Above all there is said to be
water on the ground with timber
not far away. II the News has
been correctly informed it is a
richer proposition than any here
tofore discovered by man.
The thing is SO gigantic and re-
ports place it SO very rich that
people hesitate to talk of it, lest
wise to repeat figures given them.
incidentally it might be mention
ed that the News has divided its
best information by four.

j. L. Butler, who discovered
Tcnopah, came in from the East
last evening and will leave for the
west tonight or TO- morrow morn
ing.
Mr.. Butler was interviewed by
a "Gazette" reporter in regard to
the recent find made to the south
east OF the original camp and ask
ed what he thought of it. He
said, in substance:
There is no question but what
the new find recently reported is as
rich as any mineral discovery
made within the past century.
The contour of the country is the
same as that of the original Tono-
pah and the ore is of the same
quality as that being extracted
from the original workings in
Tonopah to-day. Edward Clarke,
a prospector of years experience,
had been working about this place
for some months for a mining pro-
moter named Ray. An assay was
made of the rock and it was found
to be rich in both gold and silver
Mr.. Butler has been sick for the
past three weeks and went to Bel
mont for treatment, and while
there he heard of the rich strike.
Mr.. Butler, continuing, said:
"Yon may quote me as saying
that should the bottom drop out of
Tonopah to-day as a mineral Pro-
ducing camp that there is enough
ore in sight and on the dumps to
keep a mill going steadily for the
next ten years"
"Tonopah and the country sur
rounding is attracting the atten-
ton of the entire mining world to-
day." said Mr.. Butler, land l am
daily in receipt of letters from the
most prominent mining men in
the country importuning me to
make a sale to them of property
that l have not as yet disposed of.
In regard to the sickness now
prevalent in the camp, Mr.. Butler
said:
YES, the report that there has
been lots of sickness in the town
and that there has been a number
of deaths is quito correct, but that
is no fault of the town. If you
will take into consideration the
number of people entirely unified
for the rigors and vicissitudes of a
newly discovered mining camp
that flock in you will at once see
that the sickness is due to expos
ure than from conditions prevail
ing in the town. Tonopah is as
healthy a town as any in the
State.
"When the sickness was most
prevalent 1 thought it my duty to
help all to the best of my ability,
and / advanced one thousand dol
lars in coin to be used as a sort of
hospital fund and l know of no
other pleasure that I have had in
the past ten years that equaled
this donation.
Eastern Nevada is rapidly COM
ing to the 'front.' said Mr.. Butler,
Gin a mining way. The impetus
given the mining industries of the
State by the discovery of Tonopah
ia bringing about the best results
and to-day outside capital is seek
ing investment in old abap-
doned mining districts that were
thought to be worthless years age.
White Pine county is rapidly forg-
ing to the front while mining in
Nye and Esmeralda counties is re-
ceiving more attention than for
years.

ley is to California-the center of the prune industry. I talked with the growers there and examined their orchards. While l was there one of the storms I mentioned occurred, and saw the trees denuded of their fruit l talked prunes all over France and met many of the large dealers. I found the conditions described to apply generally to that country. The Cali fornia exhibit at the Paris Exposition was a great advertisement for our fruit. It made the dealers acquainted with it. I saw great deal of California fruit in France, and, strange es it may seem, the French dealers buy it gladly and pay high prices for it.

THE UNLUCKY TEXAS
Battleship Has a Narrow Escape From
 Being Blown Up

Hampton, Va.-The battleship Texas had narrow escape from being blown up Sunday afternoon. She left the Portsmouth navy yard and went out to the Capes, where gun practice was had. Two of the large turret guns ex- pioded, filling the gun room with glycerine and water, but the magnif- cent work of the gunners saved the vessel from serious damage, as well as the lives of those on board her. The ship returned to Old Point and a special inspection board is making an examination of the injury.
 Washington-A report from the com mander .ofithe Texas, touching on the accident on board that vessel while at target practice, states that one of the hydraulic cyliners, which returns the gun to battery. was cracked because it had been filled with water when the gun was discharged. The ordnance officers expected that this will not delaylthe ship long.
