The Two Billu.
The difi'erence between the Mills bill
and the Senate Tarifi' bill can be sum
med up in a very few words; the Senate
bill is a protective tarifl' measure. the
House bill is a destructive tnrill‘ measure.
One starts with the idea that. the system
of protection, which has been tested by
a quarter ota century's eXperieuce. is
good for the country and should ho
maintained; the other asst-rte. by implie
cation at least, that the System is
“vicious-inequitable and illegal," an Mr.
Cleveland called it. and should bede
strayed; and this is what General Harri
son meant when he said in his letter of
acceptance. “We do not offer a fixed

A Great Gold 111-e.
“It will surprise the Herald readers, I
dare say.“ said Mr. A. K. Delaney. col
lecter of customs at Sitka, Alaska. to a
New York Herald reporter. “to know
that the greatest gold mine in the world
is situated at Juneau City. ahout 150
miles trom Sitka. I state it however, as
a fact. It is called the Paris mine, and
one of the principal owners is Senator
Jones, of Nevada.
“The mine produces from $75,000 to
SIOO,OOO worth of gold bullion per month,
and experts say that enough is in sight
to furnish this amount for 400 years.
It this be true, and I have no reason to
doubt it. the mine ought to be worth
several hundred million to the syndicate
which control it. One-half of the mine
was originally purchased for $650. For
the_other halt a trifle more was paid."
Tue adove statement is correct except
in one particular. that of enough are be
ing in night to run the mill (now 240
stamps) for 400 years, considering that
the big plant will consume 600 tons
every twenty-tum hours. There is cer
tainly an immens pile of are in eight.
and competent experts have variously
estimated the life of the Paris mine above
drainage at from 100 to 150 years, but
we hardly think any ‘have placed it at
400 years. But flaming the life of the
at 100 yearn, the mill crushing 600 tons
daily. and the are valued at 88 per ton,
it will readily bu seen that from this
basis it is the World's bonanza. The
cost of treating the n.e is only about 90
cents per tun.-—-Jnncnu Free Press.
