yention.
The Mining and Metallurglcal So
eiety of America has had mining law
revision under consideration for a
good many years. The report of its
committee on mining laws Is probably
! the most instructive literature upon
the subject that has been offered. Fol-
lowing this report and the discussion
OF 1t in meetings of the society, a ser
les of resolutions was submitted to
the membership, Some of these reso-
buttons were carried by an all but
unanimous vote, others by only bare
majority, illustrating the nature of the
differences in opinion that develop
when details come into question. In
issuing Its invitations to the conven-
ton In Washington the council of the
Mining and Metallurgical Society said
that 1t would offer only those resolu-
tons upon which its membership was
substantially unanimous. At meet
Ing of this council last week that ac-
ti5n was rescinded, and 1t was decided |
to offer only those resolutions embody-
ing the broad principles that there
should be complete and coordnating
revision of the mining laws and that
a commission to study the matter
should be authorized by congress, All
other points. such as the question of
extralateral rights and the question of
discovery as a prerequisite to location
will come naturally within the pur-
view OF such a commission and need
not be discussed at this time, when
he main thing is to get a commits
sion. {
A matter which will, however, be
lsefully discussed in Washington per-
aims to the nature of such a commits
1t should consist of
members, or or Z; whether lawyers
n mining men should predominant in
{; whether it should be paid or I'M
'aid. These and many other ques-
ions are of vital Importance. The |
,reat idea In the forthcoming meeting
owever, is for mining men from all
arts of the country to assemble In
and let congress know
hat they want to have something Q
one; and that, moreover they will be 0
BILE to propose a specific, practicable II

,hich everybody will be substantially

Drill Struck Wood at 1900 Feet.

One of the first deep wells drilled in

New, by the Central Pacific railway
in 1881, in a search for good water.
The boring reached a depth of 2750
feet, but the water obtained was of
very unsatisfactory quality. At 1900
feet the drill encountered a bed of

PRODUCTION.

The consumption of lead, like steel
copper and spelter, is increasing rap
idiy, and in spite of the greater pro-
duetion the market seems able to alb
sorb all of the offerings. This is the
more remarkable because the Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining company
makes 1t a practice to market all or as
much of Its product as possible during
the month, so as to avoid carrying
over any stock OF metal.
Important interests In the trade
state that there Is practically no spec
ulative buying of this metal and that
such purchases as are being made are
for direct consumption, so that the
general tendency points to higher
prices for this base metal than have
prevailed for some time past Au-
thorities on the lead market state
that consumers have been out of the
buying for such long period of time
that they themselves by coming into
the market for large quantities, are
responsible for the present strength |
of the lead market.
Lead Scarcity in Europe.
The European situation, on the 9TH |
er hand, shows decided scarcity of
spot metal, owing to the shortage of
shipping room, which has been en-
gagged for the balance of the year. 1t
is evident that the European market
will find no relief for some time to
come. Lead, like all the other met
ais, is being consumed In larger guam
titles than 1t has been for some time
past, and In consequence still higher
prices may be expected.

sermons; but as [ look back over the bye

I was fifteen years old, and village-store

the commonplace name of Smith, held forth
In a little school-house on the outskirts of
the village, to an audience which probably
did not exceed fifty. It was Sunday after
noon, and the meeting was a casual local
gathering.
"Pay thy roacs to the Most HighI" was
the text; and the sermon thrilled me,
through and through.
It was bugle-call to Duty; an appeal to
men for the sanctity of obligations; pas
sionate plea for the redemption of those
pledges which we make, when we are lifted
out of the dull routine Of life by some great
desire, some great inspiration, some great
peril.

While in New York he said he would do it,
and although his oath of office forbade him
to exercise judicial functions, he did that
very thing.
He mentally obliterated the jury. wiped
out Judge Roam, abolished our Supreme

and jury.
He made a personal inspection of the

every part of the evidences he claims to have

words have flown to the uttermost parts Of
the earth, to live on and on, until this poor
scroll shall shrivel at the Last Day, and
Time shall merge into Eternity.
And one of these men-mocked then, and
