Eight by eight inch timber is used for the sets, which have generally feet $ inches ceaters. Filling with waste brought from the surface, is kept well up with the work, and no attempt to draw the timber is made. The aver age cost of mining ton of ore, for the whole district, is about S1.75.

TREATMENT OF ORES.

By far the greater part Of the ores mined has to be concentrated. Coarse concentration in jigs is followed by re- crushing in Chilian mills, careful classification of the products and treatment on Frue vanners. The gen eral tailiugs running to waste average seven-tenths per cent. copper. A con
 centration of about six into one is ob- tained. The quantity of water used is about 800 gallons per ton of ore milled. The concentrates obtained average Is

AN AUTHORS HOURS.

Hall Game, whose latest success enti-
tied 1.-The Prodigal Son." has just been
published by ID. Appleton & Co., was
once asked during what hours he did
his writing.
'Hours?" replied the Manx writer,
what hours? why, it would be impos-
sible for me to write at any stated hours.
When I am reaching climax In my
story there is neither time nor space for
me. I simply write until I must sleep, or
the climax is achieved
The spare figure of the little author
whose vast frontal development contains
such intense dramatic power, indicates
that his genius is of the fiery, energetic
kind that wastes and consumes the wri-
ter both within and without 1t is a
relief to observe that Hall Caine is pos
sessed of both muscle and vigor, and the
perennial youthful enthusiasm Of genius
and to reflect that only last year he rode
thirty miles on horseback In Iceland in
search of local color. His statement In
regard to the erratic hours during which
he works is interesting in view of the
fact that de Musset used to write all
night with no other light than that of
innumerable candles and Stevenson did
his best work during his last years sitting
up in bed in the early morning.

Cotton and Cotton Goods,

While Wall street was panic
stricken and wheat was going down,
cotton went gently up. The bears
fear the farmers and merchants and
bankers of the south. They fear the
latter will hold back cotton and push
receipts to a minimum, and they are
right in thinking so, for the south
does not. relish seven-cent cotton, and
1t is strong enough to hold what is
left of the crop.
The threat of holding cotton has al
ready induced the bears to cover, and
If the south will carry the holding
movement far enough and snug
enough cotton will again command It's
value. 1t is now selling below the
cost of production.
The New York Commercial says
that mot in several years has the
outlook for the cotton goods business
in this country been brighter than it
is at present" 1t goes on to say that
both manufacturers and jobbers are
practically clear" of old stocks, and
the entire business is on sound foot
ing. The output of heavyweight
goods is booked up to next June.
There is no evidence of trade paraly
ses in any part of the cotton goods
situation Buyers are pressing mills
to delive merchandise.
The New York Commercial assails
as foundationless an article that ap-
peared in the New York Herald, and
it proceeds to show in detail that the
cotton goods trade is in exceptionally
fine condition. The stoppage of the
Fall River mills has operated to ex-
haust stocks. Sheetings, drills and
coarse cottons have been sold at
least three months ahead by the mills.
Export orders, too, are again satisfac-
tory. No reductions have occurred
for spot or nearby deliveries, and none
are expected
In view of these facts 1t Is certainly
best on the part of southern holders
of Gotten to decline all offers at pres
ent prices. Seven-cent cotton should
be bowed out, and the frmer and
the more nearly complete the hold-up
the sooner and the better will prices
become normal again Ten cents is
the normal price of the present crop

FOUNDER OF RED CROSS.

From the New York World.
Henri Dunant, now 76 years old and liv-
ing in i'll health near the Lake Of Con-
stance, was the originator of the Red
Cross movement. 1t is forty-lve years
since he began his work and forty since
the international convention at Geneva.
Dunant was first influenced by what
he had read of Florence Nightingale
work In the Crimean war. year after
the Crimean war he was at Solferino'
with its forty thousand killed and wound
ed.
From Solferino he made the tour OF
Europe, spending five years over It, Some
generals of the good old school thought
him a crank" WAR is part of the law
of nature" said those gallant warriors;
wars will last as long as the world,
and men will be MANNED and slain In
spite of all your humanitarian fads Let
these civilians mind their own business.
Napoleon III, to give him his due, ap-
preciated M. Dunant, the humanitarian
"crank" M. Dunant also made friends at
the Prussian, Russian, Swedish, Danish
and English courts.

Promotion of Mr.. Burton.

Representative Burton of Cleveland
Ohio, is said to be slated for the
Craftsmanship of the appropriations
committee when Mr. Hemenway goes
to the senate at the opening of the
f1fty-ninth congress.
Everybody in this district wishes
Mr.. Burton personally every promo.
ton that may come to him, but all in
this district will regret to hear that
he is going to leave the rivers and
harbors committee, where his services
are greatly needed. II has often been
said that what Mr. Burton does not
know about American rivers and har.
bors is not worth knowing. He never
lends his vote or influence to an i'm
proyement that has no traffic behind
it. He believes that those rivers and
harbors should be improved which the
people will afterwards use' He is a
friend for that reason of an Open
Warrior, as he was friend of an
Open Monongahela and an Open Kan
awha.
If Mr.. Burton be promoted to the
committee on appropriations Mr.. Dow
ener of West Virginia becomes the
ranking member of the rivers and har.
bors committee, provided he was elect.
ed to the fifty-ninth congress, but The
Age-Herald proposes to cling to the
hope that Mr.. Burton will conclude to
stay at the head of his old committee,
because he can there excellently serve
every state. His knowledge of our
rivers and harbors should not be lost
to the country.
