REPORT SHOWS BOLIVIA
 COUNTRY FOR BIG CAPITAL

From the Bureau of American Republics the Prospectur has learned the following information relative to the placer mines of Bolivia, which of late has attract ed so much attention from the miners of Alaska.
 "The distribution of the metal ic belts," says the official re- port, "in Bolivia has always been a matter of wonder to gcolOgists, Raimondi having made the state nIent that the Bolivia plateau is a silver table, supported by gold columns.' The gold bearing belt of the country is divided into three regions; the first extend ing from the western boundaries of the republic into the Inambari basin. to the eastern frontier of upper Paraguay. The second starts in Lipaz, ext ending south to the Santa Cruz plains and the third. perhaps the richest. ex- tends to the northwest of the re- public as far as the boundaries of Peru.
 Tipuani is located in the pro- vince of Lacacaja. Department of La-PaZ about i50 miles north of the city of La-Paz, the river of the same name, flows from the Mount 1llampu, formed by sever al streams, and emptics into the river Mapiri. Both rivers of re- nOwned fame hold in their gray els immense quantities of gold. For this reason we think it use- ful to give the details about these placerS. Through some studies and publications made on the subject the gravel of the said rivers are so wonderful that at q depth of 300 feet rock bottom could not bc found. and the pro- durlion of the gold increasing with the d"pth of the gravel.
 Though these mines have been worked for moro than three cen turirs and have contributed on a large scale iO tho riches of the spanish crown under the Span 'sh domination, they are far from being exhausted. On the con traIy they offer splendid chances to the Drospectors. Tipuani gold is from g io 23.5O karats.
 Suohez River.
 Suchrz, location. norihwestcrn parl of the department of La Paz, province of Laccraia. about 200 miles from the City of La Paz: the river Suchez is as im- portant as the Tipuani because Of the great amount of gold that it's waters carry. At the head waters of the river gold is found in congl6merates and placcrs; along it's bed gold bearing gravel exists in paying quantities, there being about f00,000,OO0 cubic metres of gravel yielding gold at the rate of a0 cents per cubic metre.
 Resides Tipuani and Suchez there are in Bolivia many more placers and mines of no less im- portance, thus San Juan Deloro, Los,Cajones (river), Chuduiag- uillo (river), about three miles from La-Paz, and the mines of Area. Argue, San-Jose, sortoca de Chiquitos. otc., all comprised in the first region.

 1t must be noted that not all the placerS and mines referred to are under actual exploitation, many of them are left out of work because of lack of capital, thus affording good opportunity for new applicants for mining con- I sessions.
 Though the following facts concern the ancient history of the mining industry in Bolivia, we consider il interesting to make references to it here.
 According to the data gather ed by the General Bureau of Sta- 1 tiSticS and the estimates of sry- eral scientific men as Humboldt. Stoiier and others. who made a special study of the matter, the mines of Bolivia have produced from the year i5iO to i75O, a ! lapse of 21O years, the enormous amount of i20,OOO,OOO pounds, or about $2,i0O.OOO, 1000.
