Russian officers Are Dissipated.

1t Is with great reluctance that
discuss here certain other character
istics of the Russian officer. AS a
rule, it is most unfair to any army TO
brand 1t with the doings Of an ele
ment from which none Is entirely Tree.
But it Is impossible, in this instance,
to ignore the tendency to dissipation
among the officers of the Russian
army, for it undoubtedly has ma
terial effect upon the efficiency OF the
organization and the conduct OF the
war. have seen something of many
armies, both in peace and war, but
never before saw one wherein the
trait of conviviality, to put 1t mildly,
struck such predominating note

conditions of army life In European
Russia, but anyone who has seen Port

hardly wonder at the scenes to be
witnessed now in Manchuria. When
General Kuropatkin visited the FAR
east two years ago, on tour OF in
spection, his report is said to have
been unusually frank and drastic on
this and kindred subjects, and Is
thought TO have been the first schism
of the breach between him and Ad.
miral AleXieff.
Iiarbin is the place where this evil
is most in evidence. This Is the real
Russian base in the present war, be
ing situated in the center Of Man
churia and at the junction of the Man.
chruian and Siberian railways Here
are the mills and packing houses
which are expected to supply the army
with much Of its food, and all troopa
and supplies destined for either
Nladivostok or Manchuria must pass
this way Naturally, the town Is
filled with troops, and particularly
with officers on their way to various
localities in the theater OF operations.
The town Is filled with wine gardens
and safe chantants, many OF which
never close their doors except when
the police are called to suppress an
lncipient riot among the jewellers.
The passion for gambling, always so
pronounced among Russians, here
runs higher than ever, the reckless
spirit invariably fostered by war

The requirement of this great mine
by Thos. +. Walsh was referred to 10
an article in the BONANZA of June
IL on the Importance of assaying fully
all ores, and the story of its purchase
was a notable point in the article.
Up TO 1897 the mine was owned by
A. r. Reynolds, one of the foremost
mining men In Colorado who, however,
had only assayed the ore for silver
and lead and had failed TO find pay-
able ore OF this class, not %suspecting
the presence OF gold in the San Juan
region. Walsh vas interested in a
pvritic smelter at Ouray and needing
silicious ores for his furnaces, investi-
gated and sampled the big dumps of
quartz on what is now known as the
Camp Bird mine. BY careful assay.
ing he discovered the gold values,
which are not visible, being covered
by a black rusty iron stain on the
cleavages Of the quartz, and in a
lesser degree scattered through it.
He bought the property for a COM
paratively small sum and In five years
had Melted over SO, 500, 900 besides
%expending over 500, 900 in improve
ments on the mine. In May, 1902, it
was sold to an Anglo American com.
pany with a capital of S., 500, 900 of
which eight hundred and twenty
thousand shares of IS each were is
sued Walsh holding one quarter OF
the stock. The purchasers were
John Hays Hammond and f. Baker,
the latter Of whom represents the
Venture corporation of London which
bought STATIONS Independence mine.
The Camp Bird was self sustain
ing from the date Of its transfer,
and in the first year distributed $639,
900 in dividends and up to July 31st
last has distributed a total OF 81, 607,-
304 and built up a reserve fund Of
over 81, COG, 900 in the treasury. The
average value of the ore does not ex.
coed $50 per ton although a streak
now being mined assays over 1900
ounces gold per ton. The richest
ore being shipped to the smelter.
