The fact that ample money is
back of a mining enterprise is not
a guarantee of success, by any
means. Oft-times failure is due to
the fact that q mine manager has a
big, fat bank account upon which
to draw at will. In fact, the know
ledge that money can be freely
used in mining operations often
leads to negligence and waste. 1t
is as necessary to exercise economy
and judgement in mining opera
tons as in any other successful
business occupation, and herein is
where so many mining ventures
on a large scale terminate in abso-
lutte failure. Strict attention to
the little leaks, in many instances,
determine the success or failure OF
a venture of this kind, and it has
been truly said that if the same at
tenion to detail, the same deter
mination to eliminate needless and
useless expense, were exercised in
the operation of big mine that is
observable in the conduct of man
working a mine on q lease, more
successes would be recorded in the
history of the mining industry.

the affair. All the fighting was

MIR. RATHBONE'S DEFENSE
HE THINKS HIS PRIVILEGES WE'RE
SAME AS ARMY OFFICERS.
II Latter Furnished Residences from
Insular Funds He Thinks He Had
q Right to Do So.

HAVANA, Jan. 3o.-A number OF minor
witnesses testified to-day at the hearing
of the cases growing out of the Cuban
postal frauds. Director of Posts FOsnes
testified that the receipts from the sale of
stamps had increased from $21,OO a month
in 1900 to $4,000 a month in 1901. Mr.. Ken
ton, chief of one of the departments, said
that he began drawing up a system of pos
tai accounts in 1899 which had the indorse-
ment of Estes g. Rathbone and which prob
ably would have been put into effect early
in 1900 but for the fact that II was de
layed because the heads of other depart
mentS were investigating il. Mr.. Ken
ton said the working of his system of ac-
counts included monthly reports from the
postmasterS of Cuba
The defense has introduced as a prece-
dent for Rathbone's expenses IN furnishirg z
his house in Havana the fact that certain
army officers. including Colonel George X
Burton, of the inspector generals depart
ment, formerly in Cuba, had their official
residences furnished from the insular
funds. The government contends that in
all such cases the military officers re-
ferred to had authority for so doing. while
Rathbone did not have such authority.
Two volumes Of the report of the Senate
committee, containing receipts and expen-
ditures in Cuba, have been filed as evidence
by counsel for RathbOne These reports
contain many bills contracted by army Of
hcers for their private residences similar to
those contracted by Rathbone.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.--RepreSentative
Crumpacker's persistence in urging his re-
apportionment measure is at last having its
reward. The Republicans of the House will
hold caucus next Monday for the purpose
OF considering all the phases of this meas
ure from party standpoint. Mr.. Crum-
packer will make a speech to his fellow
Republicans The coming of Postmaster
General Payne to the Cabinet is accepted
by many as an indication that something
will be done in this Congress along the
line of seeing "a fair representation from
the Southern States. He has been steadily
in favor of such legislation. When the ex-
ton held its meeting in Washington in the
spring prior to the Philadelphia cOnven-
ton he came here prepared to urge a new
basis Of representation. He had canvassed
the committee and claimed that he was
supported by a majority of the committee
For some reason he dropped the matter
1t has been generally thought he did so
because of an intimatiOn from Mckinley
that he thought ii was better to let things
go along as they were and give the South
further opportunity TO adjust itself under
the peculiar conditions which confronted
il. President Mckinley was very desirous
that his administration see an improve
ment OF the relations between Northern
and Southern States and he wanted nothing
done which interfered with this.
Mr.. Payne, it is understood. still clngs
TO the idea that the party should not sub
NIT 10 this unjust representation, and if
he can use his powerful influence in that
direction.
