ijl come in time one of the grout gold producers of
3 the world. In the north thosulphldu ores run
ft about 25 per rent. In gold. In the southern

D huahua thero are twcho largo milling plants
In In operation, and a few in Souora, but south of
Lj Chihuahua there is not a slnglo mill, and tho nv
B ttvrs do not understand how to take advantage
of tho mill system. Freight rutu and smelting
H charges are so high that nothing less than ()
B ore can be shipiieil, and tt ono mine In tho
B southern part of tho rvpublio is shlptilng ten
carloads of oro jicr week, From this one In-
n stance tho value of the dumps can lie Imagined.
In tho enttro OuanaJuato district there are no
H modern mills and all the output from the great
H mines, with the exception ot tho nlgh-grudu ore,
9 Is treated by the old patio syBtcm, Immense

the assay value of the gold. The total output
at present, is over $10,000,000 per year, of
which 0 p cent is gold. Although tho decline

COLOnADO.
Dknveii, Nor, 24. After several months of
negotiations tho Anglo-Continental syndicate
of 1ondon has purchated tho Terrlblo and Hut
tcrtly mines at San Ilernardlno. near Telluride,
for $1U(M)(K, ot which $25,000 has been paid
down. Tho experts estimate that 100,000 tons
ot ore can be reached through three tunnels,
and a mill will bo set up to conoontrate the ores.
K. llenson, the discoverer and solo owner ot
theso two mines, has been developing tbcm for
many J ears, overcoming nil obstacles by hit
own oxertlons. Tho vein Is from llvo to fif
teen feet in width and mill runs yield from
$7.50 to $11 lu gold to tho ton. A streak of
hlgh'grado oro has paid tho cost of develop
ment. Tho Tom Hoy nt Tcllurldo has anew
superintendent now and efforts will bo tnado
to got into pay ore again through further ex
plorations. Tho Japan mine at Telluride with tho con
centrating mill Is turning out two carloads of
conccntrntos dally, averaging Sioo per ton in
gold, silver, and lead. In addition, tevornl
ears of high-grade ore arc shlpnod each week to
thosmolters. This ore runs about $1,000 por
car. TheNclllo and Klla mines up Hoar Creek are
doing so well thst ten more stamps havo been
leased from tho power transmission company,
giving forty stumps.
The great scuro In Aspen, dno to a burning
stopo lu tho Smuggler mine, has subsided. The
remarkable, tight confined thollro to n small
portion of tho cribbing, and It Isnow certain
thnt tho 11 ro will be extinguished In a few days.
All tho other mines on tho mountain have ro
BUtnod work.
The smelter agreement affected Cripple Creek
district materially, as tho ugreoment included
tho chango of payment for gold from $20 per
ounce to $11). Much dissatisfaction has boen
expressed. Tho tornago of tho ramp keeps tin.
Tho Johnson loasoon tho Half Moon has prov

ALASKA.
Seattle. Nov. 20. Douglas Island has beeh
thusceno of a great deal of active prospecting this
season, and a largo number of new ami Important
discoveries have boen lundo ulonir tho northern
and southern shores of tho Island. These dis
coveries bare been free-milling nnd sulphurct
ores, as well ns ores ot a inoro refractory char
acter, but generally of n higher grade limn
tlioso that are being handled nt tho Tread well
mill. Tho ledges ore uniformly large and re
markably well defined. Northwesterly or tho
Trcndwell and pnrallol to tho Dear's Nest a largo
ledge ot gold, Bllver, nnd load was discovered a
few wcoks ago, despite tho theories of experta
that all tho country In that direction was barren
of mineral. There has also been an unusual
amount cf development work on tho older
claims, and tho present milling capacity will
be doubled during the coming year.
On the Juneau side of Uastineaux Channel
thero Is much activity. Thoro are throe mills
of ten, thirty, and forty stamps, and they
huvo been engaged during tho enttro season.
In tho country west of Juneau and cast of
Lynn Canal aro somo rich gold ledges discov
ered within the past month or two.
Tho new discoveries of gold quartz on tho
shores of Cleveland Peninsula by Seattle pros

and splendid results are being obtained.
The St. Eugene mine in East Kootenai comes
to the front with an annual report showing that
there is nearly 50,00a tons of $30 ore In sight in
tho various works or the mine.
The new mill ot the Fern mine, in Nelson dis
trict, has just completed a run of thirty-eight
days, resulting in a clean-up of over $15,000
in gold.

of tho best known sailing mastors In this part

Arctiotwlco boforo, his frlonds hero are not In
the least worried. His mother-in-law, Mrs.
Xbonczor Nyo of Williams street, whoso hn
band was lost whllo whaling In the Arctic, Is
fearful that those of the relief expedition who
sailed on tho Hear on Saturday will fare worse
than tho sailors of tho ioo-locked ships.
"Friends of tho sailor aro always more or less
worried," she said, "and wero It not that Capt.
Sherman has had tho experience of two winters
in tho Bamo placo I'm afraid my sleep would be
greatly disturbed thinking about him. Ho

The locking up of tho fleet In the lco has given
tho old-timcra of tho harpoon and blubber spado
tomethlng to talk about, and the olllce of
Ashley's livery stable has been vocal of opin
ions for a week. Mr. Ashley Is a cousin of tirst
Mato Ellis of tho Orca, and naturally his otllce
has been the harbor steered for by all tho re
tired men of the sea. Tho announcement of
the sailing of tho Bear with provisions aroused
interest, and when Tiik SUN correspondent
opened tho door of tho office ono weather-tanned
old salt was just gluing it as his opinion that
tho relief expedition would huvo the dorll a
own tlmo in getting to tho vessels overland.
His heurors coincided with bis belief, but thero
was ono among them "who didn't know but
what tho Bear people would get there all right
after all." He was Cant. Ucorgo Wlnslow,
who has seen servlco on evory soa, and who
for years chased wholes to tho limit ot open
water in tho North.
"If those vessels, tho Orca, Fearless, Jcanle,
Rosarlo, and Bclvidcto, nro five miles off tho
hind noar Point Barrow," said Capt. Inslow,
"nothing on earth can savo them from being
crushed and sunk. That Is a dovll of a placo.
Tho currents oro contrary, and 1 havo often
Been big bergs floating northwest In the sway
of tho deep currents, and small lco fields going
southwest on the surface current made by tho
strong wind. Just off Point Barrow there la
a shoal with about two fathoms of water over
it. When lho winter sots iu and tho first winds
to sway tho ice around get in their work good and
hard, big bergs are blown on to this Bhoal aud
grounded. The ico thon piles up aud makes a
Bnug harbor for any vessels fortunato enough to
reach thuopon water between lho ground Ico
nnd tho land In season. 1 havo wintered thero.
nnd 1 think very likely that Capt. Sherman will
bo found on the Bute side of this ground Ice
when the relief expedition arrives.
"Inside this shoal there is just room enouch
for a vessel to swing around with comfort, Ip
the westward of Point Barrow is a lagoon with
a very narrow shoal entrance, so narrow and,
shoal, in fact, that 1 believe the Rosarlo is the
ouly vcssoi mat coma, uuicr. m mn mgwu
any ship that coula enter would bo free from
tho crushing ice, but the disadvantage of being
thoro would bo that a Captain might find nlm
self frozen in tight after a southerly wind had
como up and cleared the ouuldo water. Al
though the maps don't show it, thero is an
inside strip of water all the way from tho Mac
kenzie Hlvcr to ley Cape, up which the natives
como in canoes in tho spring for trading pur
poses, and Point Barrow Itself is a narrow arm
of land reaching out Into tho Arctic, for this
lagoon which I spoke of runs back for miles
toward Icy Cape."
Capt. W Inslow did not think the crews of the
whalers wcro in any grout danger of starva
tion, but that, of course, depended on the
length of tlmo they had been away and tno
number ot months tho snips wore provisioned
for. The CapUtln's talk led others to plpo up
on old-time whaling disasters. There have
been many dramutio Incidents in connection
with tho whale Ushory of Now Bedford, but
nono more remarkable than tho dlsastor of
1871, when thirty-four ships wero abandoned
to ihoir fato in tho ice of tho Arctic. In that
single misfortune $1,090,000 was taken away
from the city's wealth.
The fleet had been pursuing whales and wal
rus up through Bchring Strait to Joy Cape.
Thoy wero detained there from somo time in
July until early in August vailing for tho ice to
break. They worked along until they reached
Walnwrlsht s Inlet, where eight of the vessels
mado fast to the heavy pack ice and began to
catch whales. The moving of the Ice forced the
whole fleet to change position. Ground ice had
formed and bchlna this wns a strip of water
which Uujwholetleetsucceeded In reaching. The
fleet anchored near Point Belcher waiting for a
northeast wind to give an open sea, when on
the 15th of August a west wind drove the Ico
sua nearer uio auoro uuu compeucu many or
tho ships to slip their cables. They were left
finally In a narrow strip ot water from fifteen
to twenty-live feet deep. Scattered along the
coast for upward of a dozen miles, the men
i ontlnued to catch whales and drag the blub
ber over tho pock Ice to the vessels,
A llttlo later the Ice was blown of! shore for
n few miles, and It began to look as If they
would get clear, when the wind again shitted,
and about tho first of September some of the
vessels wero caught and crushed. Later the
two barks Itownn and Awashouks were
wrecked, and finally, when tho Captains be
came convinced that there was no escape before
another year, if then, they decided to abandon
tho shins. This was done about the middle of
September, nnd not n life was lost. Of the
thirty-four ships ubandonod only one escaped
total destruction. This was the Minerva,
which was found by the expedition of the fol
lowing year at the entrance to Walnwright's
Inlet. She lay on her side on the beaob, and.
but for weather marks, appeared to be as good
as ovor.
Anothor Arctic disaster occurred In 1870.
when twenty vessels were abandoned off Point
Harrow. Thrco hundred inon mado their way
ocr tho lco floes und strips of water, dragging
small bouts with them, to tho trading station
at Point Harrow and learned there that anotner
vessel was lying eight milos to tho south. This
ship proved to bo the Florence, which tho 300
men reached only to find that Bbewas lockod
In by a strip of U-.eu quarter ot a mllo wide and
from thirty to fifty feet thick. The whole par
ty set to work with blubber spades and cut a
canal through tho Ice and sailed the Florence
to the open sua.

Washington, Not. 58. Tho news of tho ap
pointment of Archbishop Chappcllo ot Santa
I'd. N, M., as Arohbtshop of Now Orleans, to
succeed tho Into Archbishop Janssons, has boon
tho causo of much common tin Catholic clroles,
and was a great surprise to many who had ox
poctod that Dlshop Maes would bo the ono ap
pointed. Tho appointment is regarded as a
signal victory for the conservatives, and Is due
entirely to tho influence- ot tho reactionary or
nationalist party in Rome.
Tho French priests of New Orleans feared
that thoy wore not to rccctvo tho appointment,
so they drafted a letter to the daughter ot M,
Faure, Prosldont of France, In which they
begged her to uso hor lnfluenco with her fathor
to securo tho appointment ot an Archbishop of
their own nationality. The daughter did so,
and the tetter wasforwardod to Rome, with the
approval of M. Faure, and tho appointment of
Mgr. Chappcllo Is duo to this as much as to any
thing. As might ba expected, tho Catholics who are
strongly American do not look on this move
with favor. Thoy are beginning to droad for
eign Interference. Having Just recovered from
tho interference of the Germans and lho Jes
uits in the caso ot Mgr. Schroodcr, they are
again made to feel the powerful hand of the for
eign lobby at Romo by the appointment of Mgr.
Chappolle. While thoy aro agreed that ho Is
well equipped for the place, they could not over
look the lnterferenco of M. Fauro;
Thero has been much dlscuislon about the re
port that M. de Lome, tho Spanish Minister, had
sent his secretary to Mgr, Martlnelll, the Apos
tollo Delegate, and requested him to uso his In
fluence to have the loeturcs of Mr. Hannls Tay
lor, former Minister to Spain, delivered at the
Catholic ITntvernltv. HtornnttntiAH Wl.lln M.U
report has been denied and Mgr. Conaty has not
recolred any word from Mgr. Martlnollt
concerning It, thoro seems to bo some founda
tion for it, and It lsprobablo that If Minister
de Lomo did not make such a suggestion
in so many words, the Intimation was conveyed
through his secretary to an attach of the dele
gation. Mr. Taylor, in his first looture, took oc
casion to say something about Cubs, and the
students applauded him llborally. His next lec
ture was to nuvo boon dolivcrcd on Thanksgiv
ing Day, hut he was too ill to glvo It, and it was
postponed. In discussing these points the views
of the American, or Liberal parly, as It is better
known, were stated as follows by one of the
faculty of ibe Catholic University:
"The Catholic Church In Amorlca is strictly
Catholic, and united to the Holy See by the
closost b nds ot union. At tho same time, tho
Cal hollo Church In America Ib Justly and
strongly pntrlotlo nnd American in its political
tendencies. Nor is thore any reason why the
church in America should not be as American
as tho church In Spain Is Spanish or the church
In France Is French. No one Is disposed to find
fault with the church for being In Spain
and bronco Just what sho is Spanish
nnd French. Whv, then, may we not bo
allowed to bo American on Amorlcnn soil I The
Cathollo University is an Institution that bo
longs to and represents the Culhollu Church In
America. Why should not the university bo the
sume lu spirit nslhochurch herself Catholloand
Amerlcun ! As a teaching body the university
is busy with religion and science, and if she
busies herself nt all with politics, it Is only with
the politics of the United Stales.
"Mr. HannU Taylor gavo a lecture at tho
univorsltr a few weeks ago, not on for
eign politics, not on International politics,
but on "The Origin und Growth of tho
United Statos.' Treated as Mr. Taylor treated
it, from a historical and scientific standpoint,
tho topic has a permanent Interest for all Ameri
cans. Ills second lecture, which would havo
been delivered last Thursday except forBlck
ness. is on ' Parliamentary Government as It
Exists Throughout the World." Such be
ing the topics handled and such tho
method of treatment, scholarly and scientific,
it would seem to be a piece of supreme
lmpudoncoon tho part of tho Spanish Govern
ment to Interfere In any way, either officially or
officiously, with a mutter purely domestic. Such
an Interference would be an act of discourtesy
toward our Government, would betray personal
enmity toward Mr. Taylor, and show a desire to
persecute an American citizen for discussing an
A merlcan subject on Am erlcan soil. Wo do not
think that De Lome is capable of such a diplo
matic blunder.
"It seems incredible that any ono in New
Orleans should bo so foolish as to invoke the
intcrforeuco of a foreign power In our domcstlo
affairs. It Is still more lncrodlblo that M.
Fauro should be so Imprudent as to accept such
tin appeal and forward it to its destination.
Eorybody knows that M. Fauro has enough to
do to appoint tho right kind of bishops in
Franco. Tho State here does not interforo with
the Church, but that is tno reason why
foreign powers should step In and moddlo
with our internal affairs. The time might
not be far distant when our Government
would call a halt. The United Stales is not a
colony to bo governed by the foreign olllccrs of
tho various European powers, nor is it an an
pendnge to the effete monarchies of tho Old
World. Catholics of American birth and Cath
olics of foreign birth havo learned from tho con
dition of things abroad to put a proper value on
the liberty which they all enjoy In this country.'

DAMAGES FOB XEOL lOEST KILLING.
An Important Ittne lovolved In a Case Derore
the Jerary Courta.
Ilonry Hone of Bnyonno. N. J sued the Con
solidated Traction Company for $5,000 for tho
killing of his 0-yenr-old son, and tho suit, after
going through throo courts, has been returned
to tho original court for retrial. Questions wcro
raised which will havo an important bearing on
future suits ot a similar character. Tho Court
of Errors and Appeals, the court ot last rosort
in New Jersey, was evenly divided upon tho
questions lnolved. Tho court consists of fif
teen members, but as thero was a vacancy
caused by the death of Lay Judeo Dayton at
the time the questions were under consideration
only fourteon Judges votod ou tbcm, and tho
rote was a tie.
Hone's son was klllod by n trolley car on Aug.
0,1891. He and his brother, who was 0 ours
old at that tlmo, wero going on n visit w lib. tho
permission of their parents, llono employed
former Judgo Thomas F. Noonan to bring suit.
Tho company was defendod by Lawyers Dopuo
and Parker of Nowark and Dixon of Jersey City.
The caso was tried beforo Supremo Court Jus
tice Llpplncott in Jersey City, and tho jury gavo
tho plaintiff a verdict for $1,500. The enso was
apponlod to tho Supreme Court. Tho lawyers
for the defendant set up tho pica that the
father was guilty of contributory negli
gence In allowing the boy to go on tho
street without a companion of sulllclont
age to properly guard him from danger.
Chief Justice Beasley of tho Supremo Court,
who has since died; Justice Garrison and Jus
tice M.igle, who is now Chief Justice, beard tho
argumonc and unanimously affirmed tho ver
dict. Chief Justice Boasloy writing the opinion.
Tho case was then taken to tho Court of Errors
and Appeals, with tho result a failure to agreo
aa stated. Lay Judge Vredcnburg has sinco
been appointed to succeed tho late Judge Day
ton, and the determination of the question do
fends unon his rote when the case comes before
be court again. Former Judgo Ni onati says
that tho result inrolrcs thousands and perhaps
millions ot dollars.
"If tho highest court in tho Slate so Axes tho
law," ho says, "that there cannot bo any ro
corery for tho killing of a child of tender yenn
by a Btrcet railroad car or n steam car If tho
parents of tho child pormit him to go on tho
street unattended or not sufficiently intended
by some older person for a guardian, thnt will
practically put an crd to suits for damages for
the negligent killing of young children by theso
compinlcs, for such children aro seldom
