Literary Work Willi lllstlwn.
Mr. Vi cluter no doubt had the )iest
command of language ot nny American
author prior to our" ilny. . Those w ho
have rend bin imndcrnus hut rather dis-
connected lomaiicii known ns "Web-
ster's Unabridged Diotlonnrvi nr. How
Ono Word l.i-d On to Another" will
ngnii with in.i that he wn smart.
Noah nut er lacked fur n word by lili h
tncxpiyss lilieudf. Hi! w.is n brainy
man and n good speller.
II would III hciiinip mo at this !nle
day to ciillelsc Mr. Webster' greul
work n work that Is now In almost
every llbr.iry school-room and counting-room
In tho land. It l n Brent
book. I only hope that had Mr. YVcb-
sler lived ho would have been eipially
fair In hlscrltlelsm of my bonk.
1 hate to comparo my own liooks
with thoso o( Mr. Webber Iwcnmo It
may seem egotistical in mo to point out
Iho pood points In mv llternrv labors;
but 1 have often heard it safd nnd su
do not statu It solely tipon my own ro-
sponsihllltj. that Sir. Webster' luniks
do nut retain the tulca-st of tho tender
nil Iho wny through.
He has tried to Introduce loo many
character-! mid so wo cannot follow
them all tho way through. It Is a good
hook to pick up nnil while nway nn
Idlo hour with perhnpsj but no one
would cling to It nt night till the lira
wont out chained to the thrilling plot
anil the glowing career of Its hero.
Therein consists the great difference
between Mr. Webster and myself. A
friend of nilno nt Sing Sing oiieo wroto
mo that from tho moment he got hold
of my book ho never left his room until
ho llnlshed It. He seemed chained to
the spot" ho snld; nnd If yoij can't be-
lieve n convict who Is entirely out of
politics who In tho niinio of (icorgo
Washington can you bullet oP
Mr. Webster was most nssureilly n
brilliant writer nnd I hnvo discovered
In his later editions M8.000 words no
two of which nro alike. TliN.shovvs
great lltu-ncy nnd versatility it Is tiue
but He need somcthliigelse. Thercnil-
er waits In vnln to ee thrilled by tho
author's wonderful wuril-paliiting.
There is tint a tin ill in the whole tome.
1 hail lioaid mi much of Mr. Webster
that when I end his bonk I confess. I
was disappointed. It Is i-uhl method-
ical nnd ill. passionate In lite extreme.
As I vild. however. It Is a good lx.uk
In pick up for the purpn-e ut whlilng
nun an Idle mouienl mid no one
should start out on n long journey
without -Mr. Wob-tcr's l.ile In his pock-
et. It has broken the monotony of
many n tedious trip fur inc.
Mi-. Web-ter's "Speller" was n ttork
of less pretensions perhaps and jet It
had an Immense sale. Ilight jcara ago
this book had reached n sale o'f 40.000-
000 nnd yet It had tho same grave de-
fect. It was disconnected eold prosy
and dull. I lend ll fur ycnis nnd at
lat beoamu u elnso student of Mr.
Webster's style: yet 1 never found but
one thing in this book fur which theru
jjocnis to have been such a pel feet stam-
pede that was own ordinarily interest-
ing; nnd thai was a little gem. It was
mi thrilling In Its details mid so diame-
trically dill'dcnt fioin .Mr. Web-ter's
style that I have often wondered who
ho got to w rite it for him. It related
In the ili-covorv ofnboj hv an elderly
gentleman In the crutch of an mice. I nil
!ipile.ree. and the feeling nf biltcrnes
and nulinu-ily that sprang up til that
liiiio between the boy and the elderlv
gentleman."
Though I Iuimi Ik'i-u a elo-ii student
of Mr. Wo si er for ears I it sis free to
snj and I do not vvl-li to do an Injii
tlco In a gival man In doing mi. that
liis ideas of llteraluio ami my own are
entirely dissimilar l'us-ibly hi book
has a little larger sale than mine but
that makes mi diflcrcncc. When I
write n buok It must engage til i Inter-
est of the reader and shuw Mime plut to
it. It must not bo jerky in lis stvlo and
m altering In lis statements.
I know it Is a great letup nlion to
nilln u book thai will htf hut wo
should haw a higher object than that.
I do nut wl-h tu do nu Itiju-t i-o to n
man who lias done mi much for the
world mid one who could spill the
longest word without hesitation; hut I
speak of thcfii tilings just in I would
expect 'coio to cnticl-o my work. If
wo nsplro to monkey Willi tho literati
of our day wo must expect to bo criti-
cised. '1 hat's Iho wnv I look nt It.

1 S. I might also stalo that No.ili
Webster was n member of the Legisla-
ture of Massncliu-ctts at one lime ami
though I ought nut tu throw It up to

)i:n Sin Wo have selected. In Iho
Slate of ramaullpns llepublloor.Mextco
In the San Carlos mountains valuable
leads of silver ore. These researches
have been made by parties of life-lung
experience In opening nnd operating
mines In some of the Slates of the Amer-
ican Union. The same parly has boon
constantly In the mountains of .Mexico
since May 18."'2. and has made valuable
dlscovetles and has the mines already
"denounced" from the Mexican Govern-
ment as the sclentllla discoverer and Is
now upon such "denouncements'' In full
and completo possession put so by the
.Mexican Government. These mines are
iinprecedentedly rich regular llssuro
veins which grow richer tho lower they
sink Into the earth. The ores assay from
SIM to tho ton nnd upwnrds. Wood nnd
wnter are abundant all around 1 lie
mines. The crude bullion can be ship-
ped to England without duly on
through bills of lading from Monterey
nt about the same rates of freight ns to
New York.
A ten-ton engine smelter and fixtures
wilt cost about f mu) laid down and ex-
pense In setting up and getting ores
coal etc. and all tho works In full blast
added sny J30UO to $ 1000. After this t he
mines and machinery will bo self-sustaining
and the protltsylcld nbundnntly.
To suuininrlzo as follows: Ten tons of
crude ore at SI00 to ton (far below low-
est estimate of valuo of ore) we have
emtio bullion valued at mines SlhW;
from one day's run nt nil expense of not
over S-Vi nil told. This bullion Is run
out Into Ml pounds pig sliver and lead
which the Mllmos will advance upon In
Monterey nt Iho rate off 2 per pig. Out
of ten inns one day's run (21 hours)
we 01111 have 2M) pig liars of bullion
which landed In Monterey no can ob-
tain an advance upon of 2 which will
make the product uf the works about
$-O0per day nl lowest estimate one-
third value of Its products.
This Is what Is now being done 75
miles this side where the ore Is badly
mixed with base metal.
For the money put In lo buy nnd estab-
lish the machinery above nniiieil we will
give one-third of ail Iho net products of
the mines a full one-third Interest lu
tho mines worked.
We have 1111 experienced smelter one
of S3 years' experience to go In chnrgo
of Iho works; one good engineer to run
I lie machinery nnd the balance or the
labor cheap.
Can get charcoal furnished at the
smelter fur S I per cargo ofiKO pounds
and get the bullion hauled lo .Monterey
for $1 per cargo of :suo pounds n distance
ori.iO miles.
This Is nil 11 will take In get works In
full blast under the control of men who
know what mines and minerals are.
So speculation In tho matter! No
slock to sell I No mines to pack oil on
anybody 1 The value Is know 11 nnd rent-
lcdnnd lime experience nnd money
spent lu obtaining these vast lends of
rich ores are simply put In us working
capital along with any one who desires
to Invest with his countrymen.
If n desire to see the property will
haw parries Investing visit same by
rail to Monterey thence lo Linares by
stnee or overland conveyance then M
miles Into the mountains.
All these Interestmire fur above what
