that the river tends to overflow Its
banks, ievees are constructed to con.
fine the water In the channel. But If
the WATERWAYS is small and the slope
rapid, systems Of dams and locks are
built to hold the water back and raise
the level, so that the river may be nav

GOOD Consul to Keep ut Home.
AT last, after six months of consci-

has succeeded in removing from Ha-
vana the consul general who insulted
the people to whom he was sent by
saying one might as well expect to
make a whistle Of a pigs tail as to
make anything out Of these Latin
races" We should imagine that the
proper place for diplomatic repre-
sentative capable OF such remark
would be the back woods, but the State
Department evidently does not think
SO. 1t has sent him to Hongkong.
1t Is from one of these Latin raocesn
that we derive the foundation of our
laws. our ideas of government, our civ
ilizatlon, our ideas of art, great part
of our language, and even the very let
tiers that we use In our writing ard
printing. Another has done more and
suffered more for the cause of human
liberty. than any other race In the

at Havana does not know these simple
facts, but 1t seems conspicuously inap-
propriate that he should have further

ance in any official capacity.-Chicago

The "smusxlea. Con, Duty.

When Secretary Moody says that
1.-THE duty of 81 cents ton on anthra-
cite coal was struggled into the tariff
act In sneaking and cowardly man.
ner" he states what is evidently true.
The clause of the miscellaneous
schedule which puts duty Of 6I cents
a ton on all Goals containing less than
90 per cent of fixed carbon covers all
anthracite available for importation
into this country.
If there is any foreign anthracite con-
taining more than OF per cent of fixed
carbon 1t is in China or some other
place where 1t is hardly more available
for American use than II 1t were in the
moon.
The persons who caused that para
graph to be inserted in the miscella.
neous schedule were aware of that, as
we may know from their precision. in
naming "02" instead Of some other
percentage.
When. after ingeniously .subjecting
all available anthracite to duty Of CT
cents ton without mentioning 1t spe-
officially, the authors of the Dingley
bill put anthracite in conspicuous
place on the free list, except as spe-
cially provided for in this act" they
evidently intended to deceive not only
the public but even protectionist con-
gress.
AS to the Smuggling" Mr.. Moody is
right but.swhen he goes further and
predicts that Congress when 1t con-
,yenes in December will make haste to
amend the law SO as to make anthra-
cite free he expresses his wish rather
than what Is likely to come to pass.

smuggling are still on earth, and they

we'll known mining engineer of
this place, was in the city yes
terday, leaving on the evening
train for SanFrancisco.
Mr.. Hastings gave the impor-
tant information that 20-stamp |
cyanide mill is to be erected at
once on the gold property that
has been worked for some years
by Lyttleton Price about 10 miles
from Cape Horn.
1t appears that Mr.. Hastings,
with Wayne Darlington, former
ly connected with the White
Knob company at Mackay, pur-
chased a half interest in the
property, which has been known
as the Valley Greek mine. The
purchase was made last Novem
Der, a feature of the deal being
an agreement that the purchas-
ers should work eight men on
the property during the winter
and spring and erect mill on
the property if they were salts
fed with the developments.
The time during which it was
agreed that the men should be
kept at work expired a month
ago, but Messrs. Hastings and
Darlington continued the work
another month, being so well
pleased with what the mine
showed.
Mr.. Hastings has been on the
ground during the past month.
He and Mr.. Darlington are en-
tirely satisfied with the property
and will erect the mill, but Mr.
Hastings is going to SanFran-
cisco and Denver to have certain
other tests made on ore from
the property to make assurance
doubly sure. They know they
have the ore and the values, and
they desire to avoid making a
mistake in installing reduction
process. The tests SO far made
show that half the gold can be
saved on the plates and that the
tailings will yield readily to the
cyanide process.
In talking OF the mine, Mr.,
Hastings said there was about
$500 feet of work done on it. Ii
was not all in the ore, however.
The ore shoot opened up is founc
to be 800 feet long and SO fee
thick. The average grade o.
the ore is SIS a ton. The value
is principally in gold, there be.
ing only two ounces of silver
The depth reached on the ore
shoot is 40 feet. Another tun
mel is to be run 60 feet deeper a
the level of the millsite. This
will give them ore sufficient tt
keep the mill running Ions
time.
Mr.. Hastings said the mint
5 was certainly very good on'
and he felt that he had been very
fortunate in securing an interes
in it. Other ore shoots have
been uncovered on the surfac,
and much farther up the noun
I tain. These can be reached b,
