voice to tbtlr disappointment at teeing
tbt tlty debrt ttrtwn three months

mentation com back by Wire to this
city.
It is trot that almost tbree month
bavt tlapeed, and it It alio trut that
acre and acre of , debrlt lit ia tbt
heart of tbt city. Moreover, It I high
ly possible that much of tbt debris
will remain for tevtrtl month.
What tbeet visitor bavt neglected to
observe is that tht debris it being cart
ed away at tbe rate of 240 carloads a
day. Tbt dirt I tarried in wagon to
the bunker on Flrtt ttreet, and from

work.
Throughout the old business taction
of tht city dangerous wall still stand,

will be opened. Such important street
at Htockton and Piny art not paesable
their entire length. Tbt city Is not
waiting idly for tbt disappearance of

MINING FRAUDS IN BRAZIL.
Country I Full of Schemea to Obtain
Monty of Gullible.
Washington, July 17. Consul Gen
eral George E. Anderson, in a report to
tht bureau of manufacturer! from Rio
Janeiro, charge that while some bona
flde Braaillan diamond mines may re
sult profitably, that country is full of
schemes which are either out-and-out
frauds or art bated on claims and fact
so slight at to maka tbem little let
than frauds.
Tbe report says the United States
and Great Britain, especially New
York, Chicago and London, are the
chief financial bas of operationt for a
number of promoter, who have never
done any mining, and that there are a
number of so-called mining companies
now soliciting stock subscriptions in
tbe United State whose officer are not
even certain where the land thoy claim
as property lie.
Tbe report atatea that experienced
men in Brasilian mining fields say that
not a single mining company .operating
in the gold and diamond fielde of Brasil
bas paid a dividend. '. Tbe consul gen
eral adds that it ia a lamentable fact
that a large proportion of the Brasilian
mining enterprise are fraud and that
there are now men of the United State
with enterprise which represent noth
ing more than the money they can get
from tht American public.
TEST OF CANNED MEATS.
Congress Will Know What I tht Ef
fect of Agt.
Washington, July 17. Tht bureau
of chemistry, Agricultural department,
it to carry on a series of test thi sum
mer to ascertain definitely whether
canned meats deteriorate. One of tbt
bitter contentions over the meat in
spection amendment to the agricultural
appropriation bill hinged on the senate
requirement that packers should place
the date of manufacture on each can of
meat. x
Tbe packers, however, insisted that
this waa unwarranted, because they
claimed that meat, once put up in air
tight cans, would last forever. They
declared that canned meat was a good
in ten years as it was in ten day, and
they brought to bear testimony of an
ofllcial of the department to corroborate
their statements. Some member of
congress bad their doubts about this,
however, to it ha been decided to make
a thorough investigation and find out
whether the packer were correct or
not. - - '
