MINES AND MINING IRI- SPAIN
The Production Of Silver Ores, Ran
ganese, Lead and Sulphur Is
Constantly Increasing.

The Finanz Chronik 9tates that the
'evival of Spanish industries, which is
usually not sufficiently appreciated, is
especially noticeable in the mining and
Getallurgical branches.
The value Of the production of iron in
1901 "a $3.50, $40; of coal, S $3.50, 9L2.
Notwithstanding this great increase i'm
ports of coal increased, indicating great
industrial activity.
The production Of silver ores, man
ganese, lead ard sulphur is constantly
increasing; that of copper has increased
but little during the past few years; that
of silver-bearing lead ore has decreased.
The Somorrostro mine deserves special
mention as a big producer, with about
$4,000 tons per year.
The copper mines of Cordoba, Huelya
and Sevilla, as well as those Of Tharris
and Rio Tinto, have a worldwide repu-
tation. The latter has a production of
between So, zoo, 900 and $4,000, 900 per an
mum.
The lead mines of Jsen, Murcia, AL
meria and Limaros yield an annual out
put of nearly 100, 900 tons.
Santander ard Murcia produce $4,000
tons of zinc per year; Oyie0o, Huerva and
Sevilla, 30,000 tons of manganese; and
Caceres, 10000 toni Of phosphorite.
The famous quicksilver mines in the
province of Ciudad Real must not be
omitted. Among these the most impor-
tant one, operated by the government,
is the Almaden. During the year 1901
443 new borings were made in this mine
and the total production of pure quick
silver amounted to 3O6,6S9 pounds.
Most of the m~etallurgical works are
situated in the Basque province, espe-
cially in Bilbao. Among these enter
prises the 'Sociedad Altos Hornos de
Vizcaya,' which is a consolidation of
the two smelters La Vizcaya and La
Iberica, rank first. The capital is &c.
800, $50. An important steel works is
that of ]. M. Martinez de las Rivas, in
Sestao.
The iron furnaces of Santa Ana de
Bolueta, operated by transmitted ny
draulic power, produced $500 tons of pig
iron and 4,130 tons of manufactured iron.
The iron works of Aspete, u miles
from Bilbao, have a yearly production of
5000 tons.
There are numerous establishments
Tor the manufacture of h%igh-grade iron
goods, as, for instance, the stock COM
pany Vasconia, at Bilbao, with a capt.

BABU FORENSIC ELooUENcE
Speech of a Bengali Fqeader in Court
Which Savors of Yankee
Eumor.

The London Truth publishes the fol
lowing from an American travelling in
india. He VOWS that he heard a Ben
gall pleader mae the speech in a case
in which there were cross-summonseS
for assault. Maybe it has been strong
ly favored with Yankee humor, but ii
not true or even new it is, at any rate
amusing enough TO print:
MY learned friend with mere wind
from a teapot thinks to browbeat me
from my less. But this is mere gorilla
warfare. | stand under the shoes OF
my client, and only seek to place my
Zone of contention clearly in you1
honor's eye. My learned friend vain
ly runs amuck upon the sheet anchors
OF my case. Your honor will be pleased
enough to observe that my client is a
widow, a poor chap with n post
mortem son. A widow of this country,
your honor will be pleased to observe,
is MOI like a widow OF your honor's
country. A widow of this country is
not able to cat more than one meal q
day, or to wear clean clothes or look
after a man. So my poor client has
not such physic or mind as to be able
to assault the lusty complainant. Yet
she has been deprived OF some of her
valuable leather, the leather of her
nose. My Learned friend has thrown
only an argument ad hominy upon my
teeth, that my clients witnesses are
all her W relations. But they are
not near relations. Their relationship
is only homeopathic. So the misty
arguments CT my learned friend will
not hold water. AT least they will not
hold good water. Then my learned
friend has said that there is on the
side of his client a respectable wit
ness, viz, a pleader, and since the wit
ness is independent, so he should be
believed. But, your honor, with your
honor's vast experience, is pleased TO
observe that truthfulness is not so
plentiful as ~blackberries in this coun-
try. And, | am sorry to say, though
this witness is a man of my own
feathers, that there are in my profess
sion black sheep of every complexion,
and some of them do not always speak
Gospel truth. Until the witness ex-
plains what has become of my clients
nose leather he cannot be believed.
He cannot be allowed to raise a castle
in the air by beating upon a bush, so,
trusting in that administration of Brit
ish justice On which the sun never sits,
l close my case"

What Do we Inner1tp

1t is often remarked that the chill
dren of a great genius selSom exhibit
corresponding powers. Nevertheless,
Prof. Karl Pearson, as the result of
Investigations made in England, AYERS
that, as a general rule, ability, probity,
geniality and other psychical charac-
tiers are inherited from parents as truly
as physical characters are. From this
he draws the conclusion that although
intelligence can be aided and trained By
education, no schooling can create it.
1t is a product of breeding, and no ma
ton which finds itself falling behind in
heintellectual race can save itself mere
ly through educational machinery; it
must go back of the schools and look
out for the quality Of It's human stock.
