Victoria Falls on the Zambesi river and some 2.014 miles north of Cape Town. The scheme was started in 1889, at a time when the terminus of the Cape Colonial railroad was at Kimberley, 647 miles from Cape Town.
 In the construction of the road be- yond this point many difficulties have been encountered, not ordinarily met with in railroad construction. The ravages Of white ants had to be taken into account for one thing. Wooden ties could not be used, and steel cross ties had to be used. These. says the Scientific American. are of the India state pattern, weighing 6SA pounds each, and numbering 1,940 to the mile. These ties have been found to answer very well. and when well packed with ballast afford an excellent road. which can be easily maintained.
 The greatest difficulty that has been encountered in the course of the con. structional work has been the obtain ing of adequate supplies of water. As far as possible, water supplies have been established at intervals of 10 miles. As the railway was laid, these water supplies were pumped into huge wooden reservoirs. but as the traffic develops the wooden receptacles are replaced by cast-iron overhead tanks ranging from 10000 to 30.000 gallons capacity, while concrete walls and dams are being constructed across the waterways for the purpose of conserv- ing the water during the dry season. The wet season extends from Novem- Der to April. during which period the rainfall averages 24 inches.
 The line Is being constructed throughout by unskilled native labor. of which a plentiful supply is avail able. They are divided into small gangs, each of which is directed by . white man, and their duties comprise plate-laying, excavating. coaling. DOT tering and such tasks. the finer work being carried out by white labor. The natives are paid at uniform rate of 50 cents per day, and have been found to be eminently adapted to the work for which they are engaged. The ratio of white to native employees averages one to four.

A Milanese barrister. Signor Anne do Bucci, has invented flexible fab ric somewhat resembling leather, which no bullet or hard steel instru- ment is able to pierce. One recent morning, writes our Rome correspond ent, Signor Bucci made tour around large space in Rome with Richard Brasier motor car. the tires of which had been covered with the fabric.
 Nails of large dimensions were stuck in the ground point upward. and the car passed over them without damaging the rubber tires. Later on the inventor called on the minister of marine. who personally experi- mented on a piece of the fabric. which he unsuccessfully tried to penetrate by firing several revolver shots at it-London Daily Mail

MINING PARAGRAPHS.

The Bunker Hill and Sullivan
silver-lead mines at Wardener paid
$4,000, 600 in dividends during the
past year.
The Occur d'Alene mines have,
during the past season, shipped
mineral to the gross value of
something like 100000 and
paid over SO, 900, 900 in dividends,
to their fortunate stockholders.
The Tiger Poorman mine at
Burke is developed through 1000
foot vertical shaft sunk from the.
surface at the bottom of which big
pump was recently installed, and
sinking for new levels was again
commenced.
The Standard mine at Mace, one
of the richest producers in the dis
trict with a total output Of lead
and silver amounting to over $780,
900, 900, has shown a marked in
crease in silver values from it's
lower levels during the past year.
The Hecla mine at Burke is de-
veloped by tunnels down to the
level of Canyon creek, and YER
tical shaft sunk from the surface,
900 feet deep. 1t has an enormous
reserve of high grade ore, the rich
est horizon being in the bottom lew
ell.
The total gross contents of copper
ore and matt shipped from Idaho
during 1906 will doubtless approxi-
mate the respectable sum of IL, y
10000 pounds, and the future
prospects for this class of mining
in this state are very bright IN
deed.
The Frisco mine, in Canyon
creek, was freed from water during
the early part OF the year and has
since been sinking and opening a
new level on a magnificent shoot of
ore 900 feet long. This mine is also
over 1900 feet deep below the crop
pings.
The total shipment from the
Wood River district amounted to
200 cars during 1906, and ranged
in value from 10 to 90 per cent
lead and from 30 TO 100 ounces
silver per ton. There are several
hundred men at work On develop
ment in the district.
The principal producer of the
Wood River district in Blaine coun-
/ ty, the Minnie Moore mine, sus-
pended it's output from the mine in
the early part Of the year. This
mine has yielded very high grade
ore both in lead and silver and has
a record of over $4,000, 900.
The famous Hercules mine above
Burke is simply being played with.
1t has made over $4,000 900 in
profits during the year and could
have doubled that great record by
crude ore shipments without
crowding its resources very serious
4 ly. This mine is developed by cross
cut tunnels to depth of 1900
feet. The Morning mine at Null
len has recently been tapped at a
depth of 1000, feet by a two-mile
crosscut tunnel, and between this
horizon and the number five tun-
nel,, 10, 600 feet above, a connec-
ton has been made and several in
termediate drifts run out which
show much larger ore bodies than
! the ledge above number five.
The gold output of Idaho during
the past yaer will not show a ma
terial increase when all of the fig
urcs are in, and will probably not

concentrates during the year, and
is being developed by long drain

facilitate its output.

Idaho mines during 1906 have en-
joycd another prosperous year and
established a new high record of
production and dividends. Prosper
ity has prevailed in every mining
section in the state, and almost
every district has been hampered
by an insufficiency of labor.
The most important progress in
ldadho's copper mining develop
ment and production during 1906
has been at the Snowstorm mine,
three miles above Mullan in the
Occur d'Alene district. This re-
markabie property has developed
