There is an increase in live stock, and though there has been a momenâ€" tary él-lnntlou in the number of sheep, it is significant that the total number in the country has more than doubled since 1841. £50,000 have been expended on coftages, For general improvements £26,000 were lent in 1866; in 1867, £40,000; in 1868 £65,000 and this year the sum 'uf reach £80,000. .

If this is actually the position of the case, Spain owes it to her own fearlessness, which may savor of unreason, but does not partake of the nature ot bravado. She has declared that if driven to extremity she will fight. No doubt she will, For her to gain advantage by doing so is out of the question, but as matters stand ghe would lose less by war than her adversary. America may fairly decline an easy victory on such onerous mdarnhl terms. The people and government of Spain are resolved not to part with Cuba without a struggle.

The Mesers, Shaoly bave four years and aâ€"half (until March 1, 1874) to complete their contract, and are constantly increasing their facilities for work, so that there appears but little doubt of their ability to end their work within the given time. At the pmsent rate it will take about a year longer to sink the central shaft. In company with Mr. Pratt I stepped up in front of the drilling machines to observe their ’wdonl. They evidently do their work ually. There were drilis to the right of us, and drills to the left of us, and a shower of stone dust came down on our beads from the working of other Grills above us,. It was a place no one would care to remain in long if he could easily get uu‘;ud how the miners stand it is a mystery. To be immured in such a gloomy dungeon any way is bad enough, but to be shut up with such a terrible clatter about one‘s ears adds ten thousand fold to the discomfort. "Up to August 31 the east head had reached a distance of 5,088 feet from . the portal, The present depth ot the shaft is oub::. and the bucket is attached to a mort elovator, which runs down in wort of elovator, which runs down in grooved timbers to within fifty feet or so of the bottom. :A minute and a half to two minutes is usually ‘the time occupled in hoisting or lowering a bucket, . it was at this place that thirteen workmen -'-l-m“' ons means, saved Ih’ll‘i!'jllp- iig, all b.-a. lr the woodwork by the side.

H. Pratt, to the bottom and to the west heading, some eightsen hundred feot beyond the shaft. ‘The distance between this shaft and the west portal is about twentyâ€"five hundred feet, and it is in this section of the tunnel that a large brick tube is being con= structed to guard against the caving of the demoralized rock, which had caused so much trouble and sabout which so much has been said. The brick tunnel will reach to within some three hundred feet of the shaft. The descent at this point is made in a sort of box .l.mm on one side to admit a car, such as the and debris are taken out upon. One of these elevators is oonlung.whlle the other is going down. ‘The depth is 318 feet, or nl.utfi-dgbt feet more than the height of Bunker Hill monument. Rubber â€"suits were again brought into requisition; and rubber boots also put on, for the bottom is in places «To journey to this heading is a more difficult matter than mnnln‘ in on a car at the eastern end, and it involves‘a little hard work. With Mr. Pratt as file leader and our * lamps dimly burning‘ we march away from the shaft through the darkness occasionally tumbling over a plece of rock or a piece of timber ; some five hundred feet from the ond weare forced to clamber up over the rocks several feet, for the heading at this end is carrled forward at the top instead of at the a-dok:‘liuhoonm.ond. There is a noise as of halt a dozen cotton mills and as many rushing, shricking locomotives, as we draw near the end of our journey, and after jumping aside several times to avoid imaginary cars, gather from Mr. Pratt, who shouts in our ears at the very top of his voice,: that the drilâ€" ling machines are in operation. Here, as at the other end, the drills are driven by comâ€"~ pressed air, which is also used to ventilate the tunnel. The rock now being worked through, however, is much harder, although of the same kind, and the progress made is n-nhtl-', averaging about three feet a day. ‘Nitroâ€"glycerine, instead of powder, is to be uéed in blasting, in the course of the :-nâ€"n..ud‘hmw that four per day will then be made."
