OLDEST OF ALL TIN MINES.
Deposits Of Cornwall and Method Of
Reducing the Ore Described.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
An interesting description of the tin mines
Of Cornwall is given by 1. c. Fuller a min
ing engineer, who is thoroughly familiar
with the deposits and is now in this country
These mines are among the oldest in the
world. The Phoenicians as early as 500
B. C. had made their way to the southwest
part of Britain and discovered tin deposits
there. Although the mines have been work
ed almost continually since that time there
is no immediate sign of their giving out.
Tin is the rarest of the so-called common
metals" declared Mr.. Fuller. 1.-The annual
output of the world at present is 1900
tons. of which 5000 comes from Cornwall
Prior to 1875 the number of tons raised at
Cornwall was about twice as large and
formed about one-fourth of the worlds out
put. but since that year there has been an
enormous expansion in the production as
well in the consumption of tin. Tin is
now found on almost every continent. There
are large deposits in the Malay peninsula,
in a few of the Pacific islands and in South
America.
More than five-sixths of the output of tin
Is derived from secondary alluyial deposits,
but all from Cornwall is from vein mining
The vein stuff is broken either by hand or
in rock breakers and stamped to fine DOW
der in stamp mills. These mills are practf-
cally large mechanically worked pestles and
mortars the stamp proper weighing from
500 to 1000 pounds.
After the mineral has been crushed small
enough to pass through sieve with per-
forations one-twentieth of an inch In dame
ter 1t is carried from the stamp In suspen-
sion in water by means of a series of
troughs in which the heavier mineral is
collected
This mixture then passes through a Sc
ries of washes which reduces its component
parts to tinstone and arsenical pyrites. Re-
fined thus far. 1t is submitted to a calcining
process and rewashed, until finally black tin
containing from 60 to 60 per cent of metal
is left. The dressed is then Smelted
"The mines are usually very hot owing to
the lack of adequate ventilation, and some
of them are over 400 fathoms deep and ex-
tend one or two miles under the sea The
chief source of danger is the sea water
which sometimes completely submerges the
mines, often drowning the workers

and of course their compensation varies
They live very comfortably and seem con-
than the better classes. They do not ac-
cept Joseph Chamberlain's fiscal policy as
readily as the better educated people, who
are almost universally in favor of It. For
some reason or other this seems to be a
reversal of the ordinary status of society.
Those most eager to grasp at Innovations
are usually the laborfng classes"

If temperance consists in the proper use
of liquor and if reform consists in turn in
the lessening of the popularity of the sa-
loon, this little book should serve a good
purpose by instructing those who like mix
ed potations in the art of becoming inde-
pendent of the barkeepers. But by no
means all of the 101 recipes for preparing
drinks call for liquor. Many ingenious and
entirely harmful beverages are described IN
a manner to persuade readers that there
are many delightful ways of preparing the
cup that cheers but not inebriates.

Vogel's City Minstrels

At the Colonial Theatre tomorrow
matinee and night makes the seventh
annual appearance OF John w. Vogle' :
Big City Minstrels in this city. The
organization is large one and COM
prises the foremost artists in the min
strel sphere and the world of novel
ties, Fred Russell is the principal
comedian of the company, aud we are
pleased to note that as star he shines
more brilliantly than ever. He is the
prince of good fellows and possibly
has more friends than any comedian
on the minstrel stage.
AS performer he is brilliant, re-
fined and entertaining, bears the dis
tinction of being one of the only end
men who is free from vulgarity, has a
splendid voice, is graceful in action.
In short, he is considered one of the
most artistic black-face comedians
now before the public. Russell's as
sociates are hardly less clever than
himself, for Manager Vogel seems to
have had first choice when selecting
the corps of artists found with this
clever company. Governor Bowen,
the Kentucky whirlwind, John Cart
nell, droll huinorist, Marveios Mar
settles, the anatomical enigma, Mys-
terious Knetzger, with his educated
hoops and clubs, Count DeRobeo, the
Partisan Comedy Trick Cyclist, and
the Electric Comedy -Four are few
of the matchless specialties who will
appear in the all feature olio.

Notice To National Banks

The Secretary of the Treasury at
Washington announced yesterday that
lie would require those national banks
which have On deposit Federal moneys
the security for which is state or mu-
nicipal bonds to substitute for those
bonds either United States bonds.
Philippine certificates or friar land
bonds. This announcement Is in &C
cordance with a policy Of the Govern
ment formulated some time ago. In
fact. the substitution OF more ap-
proved securities for the state ana
municipal bonds has been going on
quietly for several months until the
amount of the minor securities now
teld by the United States Treasurer
on account Of the Federal deposits IN
the banks is only about 81. 900, 600.
The Treasury Department did not
accept state and municipal bonds as
security for Federal moneys on de-
posit ia national banks uEtil the fall
of 1902, when, on account OF the
money stringeDcy, it became desirable
10 increase quickly the amount OF
ready funds at the command of the
banks. The policy was questioned at
the time, but was adopted as a make
shift measure The state aud munl-
cipal bonds were accepted, however.
at from 65 TO IS per cent. of their par
value, while Government bonds were
accepted at par. The substitution
about to be made will be effected on
the basis of relative value as security.

YOU became Postmaster General he
would not enter upon his duties until

master General Wynne in the event
that he is succeeded by Chairman

considerable interest in Washington,

ably known. Some of the gossipers say
that, in accordance with an agreement
with the President. Mr. Wynne will
resume his duties as First Assistant.
while others declare that the choice of
two of the most desirable posts in the

The Dolphin was off the Hatteras
coast during the recent severe storm,

at the Navy Department that she
would weather the gale, at the same

for apprehension, which would have
been felt had her temperance in
