THE TAM CHOW MINES.
We are pleased to hear that active operations continue at the Tam Chow silver mines, and although on a comparatively limited scale with resolts that are fly atisfactory at present and are decidedly encouraging for the not far distant fatura. As the renders of the Telegraph, are well aware, these
historic mines Tam Chow, near Caston, was worked in primlive Jaiblan by Chinese centuries ago, and Tal-y-than, on Lantos island, has always borne a reputation for the value of its galens deposits were started by Chinese company originated in Hongkong some ten years ago by that energetic and indefatigable pioneer of his country's progress, Mr. Ho Amel, and have been striving spalast unforeseen and extensive basis, with a highly cald staff of English mising experts and practical miners, and the latest and most approved machinery and appliances, many Inkhs were expended without any ad quate return The mining experts proved something like failures, it nothing worse, the extensive and expensive machinery and plant, especially at Tal-y-shan, did not by a long way realise the expectations and predictions on the strength of which they had been purchased and erected, and the management were very severely hampered by official interference which was Es unnecessary and uncelled-for as it was prejudicial to the success of the enterprise. After a time the services of the foreign employers were dispensed with and charge was taken of the mines by specially appointed mandarina, under the direction, if we mistake not, of Mr. Tong King Sing, once managing director of the Chins Merchants S. H. Co. A few months' sufficed for this experment, and as a last resort the entire control was agafa entrusted to Mr. Ho Amel, the original promoter, in whose hands it has tinca remained.

East will take advantage of the opportunity to go round the world by the C. P. R. route. Pro- bably at least half of the European and well-to- do nativo population of India will visit the Ola Country and Chicago during the year, timing their journey so as to avoid the Sury Canal in the middle of summer; and the C. P. R. arranga ments with the P. & O. Company will allow passengers from any point on the route to ga the whole trip in either direction. Tickets ($510) will be lasued after the 1st of March, 1893.
Ar's proof of the theory that "a new line makes irade," Mr. Brawn stated that at least 20 per cent of the total psicoger business on the C. P. R. consisted of visitors from the United States to the Far East, who previously had never gured in the list at all, so that this branch of traffic had been created out of nothing, so to speak, by the C. P. R.
Up to the present, the result of Mr. Brown's visit has been that he has gained a number of wrinkles as to the minor details of departe.ental work in the Company's business. He is immen sely pleased with the success of the new stea mers so far, and with the prospects of fature business in the East general, and locking af carefully as may be from a purely business paint of view, he cannot see why the business should not be developed to very much greater dimensions, though it is big now. Of course, the Pacific trade is in its infancy, and as yet the expenses of mainisining perfect line of ships on an Imperfectly developed trade is so great that the risk is considerable. "I quite think," said Mr. Brown, that there are now more lines runnlag across the Pacific than are warranted by the basiness at present ffering and the success of our own line, in face of the competition we have to deal with, is wholly due to the superior class of our ships and our route generally; for it is everywhere admitted that, in the interests of ultimate excellence and sopr. macy, laitial expense is never considered by the CPR.”

Mr. D. E.

Mr. Brown fully realised the situation and made a clean breast of it. He told us all about his troubles, and boomed bis Railway and steamship line into our receptive cars by the ton.
Mr. Brown has been practically in charge of the whole business arrangements of the C.P.R. on the Canadian side of the Pacific for six years
