As nn illustration of the backwardness back-wardness of Spain in keeping iu line with modern educational progres?, she enjoys (sovereignty over an island in tho far ens', not found on any map obtainable, obtain-able, which is now attracting tho closest attention of the geographer geog-rapher the world over. It is Ponape, ami is one of the Caroline Caro-line group. It is between C degrees de-grees and 43 minutes and 7 de grees and G minutes north from the equator, and I Go degrees and 55 minutes and 104 degrees und 32 minutes (a t longitude, and contains 170,321 tquaro miles.

Uut should independent Cuba, as she doubtless would, refuse lo assume more than her pro portion of the debt, based on actual betterments in Cuba, and only, even in this case, of obligations obli-gations contracted previous to IS'Jo. Spain would be compelled com-pelled to appeal lo her people and confront them with practically prac-tically seven-eighths of the debt contracted since. Spain would also be compelled to declare her inability to meet her obligations, and this at present seems to the Spaniards a more "bitter alternative alterna-tive than to accept the United States' refusal to share the Cuban debt. THE OLD JOSEFHEME An Ancient Spanish Mine Found In Summit. Worki da Century Agtt. A few weeks ago The Herald made mention of the fact that William Kird and William Bird, jr., of Salt Lake had (lis. covered in Summit county, 12 or 15 miles above Kama, what wus believed to be an old .Spnuish mine, and the article aroused considerable interest in mining circles in this city and elsewhere, Since that time, Mr. Ilird ami his son have been hard at work in the- exploration of the old woi kings of this seemingly ancient wculth-productr, which, they state, was found by them by following the instructions contained in n map ami drawing which wan furnished them by p.iitics living out of the state in the weft and south, it beinu slated that this is tho old Jospphene mine, the location of which is recorded in S.mia Ke, N. M , and that it was extensively ex-tensively woiked by Spaniards over a hundred years ago; und the extensive workings in the old mine would seem to beuroiit . . . t llie latter assertion, as llie junior bird states thut after the finding of the mouth of the tunnel, which was walled up with rock, it was found that an inclinu tunnel, dipping at an angle, of 30 degree, had been run into the mouii'ain for over u quarter of a mile, and pre sumably much fuither, but that it bad been followed to where it was partially choked up with debris, which denied further exploration until cleaned out. Further on, on the strike of the ledge for a quarter of u mile or more, there is an oil fhaf which has been explored for a depth of 300 feet, where con. tinued descent was again stopped by rocks and soil, all hough there are crevices iu the bottom through which smoke arise when a tiro is built in the tunnel, which leads to the belief that the shaft was constructed for the purpose of making air connections for the mine, and as there is no dump at the top of the shaft, it is fair to presume that it was made by upraising, the dirt being taken out through the tunnel. At the mouth of the tunnel dump. there is an immense wincli has been carefully ex amines ny experts, who have made tests as to its metallic-values, metallic-values, their verdict being that the dump is worth all of $100,000. Another interesting feature connected with this important discovery is the finding of an old araslra near the shore of a little lake about half a mrle from the mine, the lake and the mine being connected with an ancient trail which, a portion of the wav, is cut through solid rock. nud one mining mm who has examined the mine und the injll at the lake expresses the opinion that the lake, bottom itself would pay to work for the tailings which it must contain, as! the mine, was presumably wjiked for years. St and the iiuitive process milling. fin rich tailings. While large ore bodies buve not been uncovered as yet in the mine, plenty of rock has been taken out which shows assay values of from $10 to 700 to tho ton in gold, besides some silver, the richest quart showing show-ing gild plentifully iu its native state. The Herald being in-formed in-formed that the first lime the ore was panned by an old miner it was estimated that the mineral went 10 cents lo the pan iu the yellow metal, The Messrs. Bird will leave for the mine this morning with the intention of continuing exploration, while a number of men will be employed iu the cleaning out of the old workings so that mining can begin in earnest where the former operations opera-tions left oft'. ! The Birds have located 15 or j 20 claims at the re-discovery of what they confidently believe to be the old Josephene, besides which they have platted ft beautiful town-site Ht the old mine, which will be entitled Hoyt's Peak, and as there are two fine springs of water on the townsite, which is located on one of Uncle Sam's timber reserves, it is the expectation that a thrifty and progrtssive mining camp will soon spring up there, and especially so as the country is ove.-run lv prospectors, who have made hundreds of locations sino lli!!!"Jlttn; ln0F!

The money was paid in gold, and while it was beingcounted out the victorious young rooster crosved lustily. His spurs were bloody from his rectnt victory ami his feathers a little ruftled, but otherwise he looked as fresh as the proverbial spring chicken.

Atahualpa was the original pet name of this wonderful bird, and when he crowed he seemed to say it as plainly as ever a feathered youngster pronounced pro-nounced his owu name. His trainer made him stand still in a gladiator attitude at-titude while the camera was turned on him, and when the snap shot was finished he seemed to understand that he whs expected to crow, und then his admirers, oil of whom were jingling Wainwright gold in their pockets, gave him a rousing farewell cheer, Queer Street ol Manila.
