WAS STRONGER THROUGHOUT.

that IL was mooted question,
but that the mine was the largest
lead producer in the United States,
and had paid s10.000,000 in divi-
dends. He said in part:
The Comstock Lode was discover
ed by miners on their way TO the gold
fields of California in 40, who stop
ped in the Carson Valley to rest.
Planning little here. they discovered
gold, and subsequently the camp ex-
banded and was mined for this metal
for IL years. But as development
progressed much difficulty was had
with black substance not under
stood, which upon examination, was
found to be rich sulphide of silver.
And, although this is considered a
silver camp, almost half its product
is yet in gold. The lode got its
name from big Canadian, who
claimed he had previously staked out
ranch there. and thus bluffed his
way into a half interest in one of
the biggest mines. Some of the
tailings on this lode have been work
ed four times, and are now being
worked for the fifth time, but in
terest has greatly declined
Professor Thompson called at

ing the copper by wood fires and
burst them by throwing on cold
water, after which the ore was re-
duced by stone hammers. Nuggets OF
copper coated with silver which are
found among the mounds of Ohio are
supposed to have come from there.
In conclusion. Professor Thompson
turned directly from the subject to
cali warning regarding the drying

There have been - accidents by

rect heat within the last 80 DAYS, ac-

given large responsibility for the
glutted condition in which the mar
ket for investment securities was
thrown. But this important financ-
ing, accomplished at that period, LETT
these companies at less disadvantage
in the difficult circumstances when
developed in the later financial Crisis.
This advantage is cited to account
for the present extraordinary
strength. Other showing was light

~ in face of the reduction In the
division rate from I to per cent.
This was In consonance with the ac-
ton of other stocks on which diVi-
dend reductions have occurred re-
Gently, notably Atchison and New
York Central, and is indicative OF
how far the reductions have been dis
counted In the speculation.
Some effect on sentiment was pro-
dnced by the absence of further gold
exports engagements for tomorrow S
steamer. In addition to this cessa-
ton of the gold outgo, the preliml-
nary estimates of the currency move
ment with the interior gave evidence
of the sustained heavy flow to TINS
center. Losses to the sub-treasury,
which include payments for gold eN-
ported and some returns OF govern
ment deposits in anticipation OF next
weeks call, amounted to 81, 50 600,
hut this apparently has been onset
almost two fold by the receipts on
balance on the interior movement.
Another substantial addition to bank
ing cash is thus promised. Copper
was lower again, both in London and
in New York. and the copper indus
trials did not share in the day
strength. Reports of wintry weather
and danger of damage to the crops
were ignored. A stock exchange hol-
iday in London contributed some
thing to the dizziness of the market.

WANT MORE ROADS.

The Texas Banker a publication
officially representing the association
of bankers in this state has a solu
ton for the problem of regulating
railroads in Texas, simply to con-
struct railroads to compete with
them. The current issue of the
Banker says on this subject:
ITO our mind it is as clear as
day that the best way in which to
regulate railroads in Texas, is to
construct railroads to compete with
them. The public is interested main
ly in lower and undiscriminating
rates, and in improved service. 1t
has substantially no concern with
any other of the matters, multi
tude in number, in respect of which
legislation has been enacted by the
legislature and orders issued by the
commission"
Railway Commissioner Colquitt
fears that new railroad building in
the state will be so controlled by
eastern capital as to grant no ben
efits to the state in the matter of
reduced rates nor increased facili-
ties. In reply to this statement the
Banker pertinently observes:
Take off the legal restrictions
which are preventing all railroad
construction in Texas, particularly
the construction of Independent
lines, or determine to content your
self with substantially just the
amount and character of railroad
mileage and service now existing in
the state"
The Banker concludes an inter-
lions as follows:
More wealth exists today in
this country than ever before, even
during the brightest days of our
late prosperity and as heretofore,
such wealth is seeking safe invest
ment. 1t has lately Stunned invest
ment in railroads since railroads be-
came the universal butt of damna-
tory legislation. This hour is Texas
opportunity. If Texas becomes the
first state to begin Offering induce
ments for railroad construction,
only 1.-THE of that held out to them
by the generation who conducted the
affairs of the state for the first few
decades after its establishment the
mass of capital now lying idle for
want of a safe field for investment
will flow our way, and Texas rail-
road construction outstrip anything
previously known in her history

NETWORK OF WIRELESS LINES.

One of the most ambitious schem-
es in which wireless telegraphy is to
bear an important part looks to per-
fecting a system of transmission by
which all the British islands in the
Pacific shall be connected with one
another and with British Columbia.
This includes not merely the rela-
lively small islands, but areas of
such magnitude as Australia and
New Zealand. An American engin-
eer has the matter in charge, and
having Just returned from a tour of
ed he reports the enterprise to be
entirely feasible, and his report has
been transmitted to the British col
onial secretary. In addition to the
daring nature of the undertaking,
what will excite special wonder is
it's amazing cbeapness. The engineer
mentioned estimates that the total
cost will not exceed $500, 900, and
in view of the extraordinary bene-
fits anticipated that is trifling
sum. OF course no details are given
out, but when one reflects on the
vast extent Of the Pacific ocean.
says the Troy Times, something Of
the character of the plan may be
conjectured. The advantage of direct
communication between British
colonies without control of the ap-
paratus by any other than British
hands is of course at once apparent,
and If the project is carried out
successfully it will add a conspicu-
Gus triumph owhat has already
been wrought by wireless"

Old Roman Laws,

The old Roman laws. according to
Colquhoun, conferred on the husband
complete empery over the wife All
she owned or earned was vested in
him, and he acquired the same rights
over her person and property as if she
were his natural daughter The wife
on the other hand. acquired all the
rights to a child and to her husbands
name and succession in the event Of
an intestate estate. and she could exer-
else all the privileges to which her sex
admitted. The power of the ancient
Roman father over his offspring was
originally perpetual. nor could the
child be emancipated from the ia
theirs control during the fathers life
except by that parents consent, nor
did he become sui juris until the IA
ther (being himself sui juris) died.
when the son was emancipated by the
simple operation of the law. In those
brave days the father had legal per
mission to scourge his children or to
send them. fettered like slaves, to
work on his estate or even to kill them,
choosing whatsoever means for their
taking off he thought proper.
