one rooni , called the Armory , which is filled
with flags and trophies of the Carlist wars.
The royal arms appear over the door and on
the heavily-draped , black gomlola belonging
to the family. The vo.ts ( pall ) which nra

face to face with the young icing and his

presence of mind and coolness to face without -

artist , a cripple and a married man , he ob.

and went to the Spanish frontier , hoping
to catch the couple on their way to France

enough to give rise to pro 'rous iniustry.

sand and gravel tb not at least pan the
color of gold. Heavy nugget8 are sometimes -
times brought down from the Sierras , wherc
I believe , there are promising fields. .for
hydraulic mining. Alluvial gold is also got
in the island of Mindanao , especially in timt
( histricts of Surigao and Misinris , on its
northern coast. Exteasive deposits of copper

Here are extracts from tIme pamphlet :
"The number of islands which form the

readers. It is saId to approach 2,000. 'Fimero
are two among them larger than Irehammd-

"Copper Is found in many parts of time

tunes baa been found In time l'Imillppine
islands Is not true coal , but lignite , probably
of tbe tertiary period and of a variety which
can scarcely be distinguIshed by the eye
from true coal. There is no reason wiry
true coal should not eyentualiy be found ,
for it is found and worked in Japan , whose
geological formation baa much in common
with that of the Vhihimplnes. There has
been smo systematic search' made in these
Islandi for coal , and whetyer it has been
found it has betrayed its presence by out-
crops. Thus , in the Island of Masbate , a
local etcamsbip pwner drew his supplies
from a bed of coal which is so tilted as to
have the appearance of a-vein. lie supplied
himself as long as his nativim laborers could

"No systematic searcim for banks of pearl
shells has been made within the limits of
the at'iimIpelag'o , but from indications it
would be well worth while to bestow a little
attention to that brancim of industry. Bcautb'
fut pearls are found in lid neighboring Suts
archipelago , and pearls of very floe quality
but of unknown origin are sometimes
brought to Manila , wirero they meet witim
eager puchasers.
"Few outside the comparatively narrow

"In tire olti days mommey was made more
easily than nowadays. It tmsed somehow to
flow into the merchant's coffers witimout any
particular effort in directing the flow onm Iris

"Manila hemp is the fiber of a species of
banana ( musa textiiis ) which thrives only
in certain localities , where it is cultivated
