MINES AND MINING.

At Leadville. Colo. over thirty tons
of water are raised per ton of ore in
spite of a very great tonnage mined.
The output Of gold from the Trans
wall mines in June last was s5,06l, 61C
against s8,328,57 in June, 1890, the re.
cord year. Ia other words, the product
within a year of the close of the war i:
one-half as great as it was before the
war,
One Of the features of the Mining
Congress now in session at Deadwood,
South Dakota, was a trip of the dele
gates through the underground work
ings of the Homestake mine, the drifts
at various openings in which are said to
represent a total length of 1925 miles.
One hundred men quit work last
week in the famous Treadwell mine in
Alaska. There was no disagreement
between the men, but because Of con.
tinued disasters in the mine, the i'm
preston has fastened itself upon the
minds Of employees that the property is
''hoodooed" and they refused to work
there any longer. Seven men met death
at the Treadwell within a week.

WILL ONLY HARVEST
A PARTIAL CROP,

The Lovelock Land g. Development
Company put in over 5000 acres OF
wheat on its ranch near Lovelock this
year. OF this 800 acres were sowed to
alfalfa and was cut for wheat hay. A
good year on the soil would produce
twenty sacks to the acre.
II. Stocker, superintendent of the
ranch, told the Lovelock Tribune last
week that the company tried to do too
much this year, but said they would
have been all right if they had plenty
of water. No part of the ranch got
more than one wetting.
Two thousand acres at twenty sacks
to the acre means a crop of 40, 200 sacks.
However, instead of this amount the
yield this year will not be over 5000
sacks. Fully half of the ground that
was planted made no crop at all.
1t is the intention of the company to
plant all their land to alfalfa.

WHERE THE WORLDS FINEST SHIPS OF
WAR MAY MEASURE THEIR STRENGTH

More ships of war are now watch
ing each other in Chinese waters
than were ever assembled before on
the Asiatic coast in the history of the
world. 1t needs but a spark thrown
into the Manchurian powder magazine
to blow Russia's trcacherOus diplo-
macy sky-hish, and clear the stage
for the greatest naval battle of mod
ern times. And there would be but
one result. Russias Asiatic fleet
would be annihilated, except such
ships as escaped to the refuge Of the
forts of NladivOstock or Port Arthur.
As to landing troops and fighting on
land-that is another story, but
against the combined fleets OF Japan
and England, Russia's Asiatic squad
ron could not hope to stand.
In the threatened naval war China,
whose very existence as nation il
at stake, can take no part. The naval
power of China was blown from the
face of the waters by the Japanese
guns at the battle of the Yalu river.
Admiral Evans has his fleet in that
land-locked sea, the Gulf of Pe-chi-li,
covering the approaches to Tien-Tsin
(the port of Pekin) and within easy
distance of Port Arthur and New
Chwang, where the Russian troops
are said to be mostly concentrated.
In that same region the British have
assembled fleet of twelve warships
and there is a Japanese contingent
st nf la
navy is on the coast of Japan ready
to strike at any point on the coast
of the mainland from Vladivostock to
Port Arthur. Besides the ships of
war England has in the Gulf of Pc
chill she has others scattered about
THE Chinese coast which could be
drawn upon. Taking all the ships of

ain, Japan, the United States and

which would make the memory OF

1t will be seen by a glance at the
accompanying illustration that the al
lied fleets are superior to the Asiatic
fleet of Russia in every respect. To
get ships from the Baltic Russia
would, if war were declared, have to
run the gauntlet of England's great
Channel squadron, and her Mediter-
,ranean fleet as well if they attempted
to go through the Suez canal-the
only feasible route. And, more than

Formerly it was regarded as a com
mon occurrence that the pearl owed its
origin to the presence under the man
tie" Of the oyster (the skin which en-
velops the animal and lines the she'll
of some concretion in the shape of n
minute grain OF sand. A scientist now
declares that his experience negatives
this view, or, at any rate, places the
sand nucleus in the position of very
infrequent occurrence. If the shell be
injured and sand gains access to the
interior pearl formation around sand
grain may then be possible: but by
far the greater number of the pearls
found lying free in the oysters owe
their being to the presence of parasitic
worms. The real nature OF the process
which causes the formation of pearl
is the deposition around the little for
egn body of the pearly substance of

Russia is threatening Corea. The
same action on the part of China
made Japan go to war with her.
Russia plays transparently fast and
loose, throwing the blame for her acts
first on one minister and then on an
other, ready to disavow any or all
acts of her agents, but never refrain
ing from profiting by them, and all
the time strengthening her position in
Manchuria-doing it every day, while
fleets and armies are assembling.
AS to the land forces which will be
involved in case of war, nobody
knows how many troops Russia has
in Manchuria. 1t is claimed her facil-
tiles for transportation are so great
that more than 100000 men could
be rushed into Manchuria within
three weeks. On the borders of Man
churia are $4,000 European troops

ippines. But in spite of all combina-
tions. the land forces of the allies
would, in the beginning at any rate.
be greatly outnumbered by the Rus
SLAMS. STILL how the Russian troops
would stand the shock of actual war
is question. American officers who
accompanied the allies on the march
to Pekin have not very high idea
of the Russian soldiers.
The Yalu river, where the Russians
are concentrating troops, forms the
boundary line between China and
Corea. A concentration of troops on
the banks of the Yalu looks like an
intended invasion of Corea, and in
case of war the Russians might make
that kingdom the battlefield.
The Russian navy is an untried fac
tor. How her sailors would show up
,, =. sctual war nobody knows; not even
they themselves. 1t is a navy with
out history and without tradition. All
its glorious past is before it.
