The 'American brip "Huntress," of vhlch I won first mate, hnd been sold to an English trading firm In the port of Saigon, Cochin China, and I was out of a berth, as was the case with ten or twelve able seamen who had formed her crew. We were still in a group on the wharf, taking a last look at the bonny craft, when a man whom any body could have recognized ns a sea captain, came briskly alons and halted to Bay. "I heard of this crew only on hour ago, and I'm ready to sign you all on." "For what sort of a run?" I asked. "We'll settle that later on. Let the men go to a hoarding house, and you come with me. Now, boys, I've got a Voyage which will pay you big wages, but it's no place to talk here. The mate will give you particulars this af ternoon. Keep mum and don't get drunk. Away you go. Now, then Mr. Mr." "Medwin," I said. "Well, Mr. Medwin, come along and hear what I have to pay. An hour ago I would have sold out for a dollar; now I'm feeling ready for anything. Whut are your men?" "All Americans." "That's good! My name Is Itaynor Captain John Itaynor and I'm a Yan kee myself, though I've been out in this cussed country till I'm half-heathen. Gad, sir, but I was in luck to come across you; I never wanted a crew of good men so bad in my life. This is the place walk in." He led the way into an office In one end of a big warehouse. A small screw steamer was moored at the wharf op posite the door, and further up the slip wns a small bark. On the ware house was a sign bearing the name of "Perkins & Gage," and I knew the llrtn to be Americana who did a iargo busi ness In Chinese products. Captain Itay nor handed down a box of cigars and a bottle of wine, (lung his hat on the floor and hung up his coat, and when his cigar was alight, ho humbly queried: "You know where Sarawak is, mebbe?" "Yes In Borneo." "Correct, but for the last three days I've been wishing it was in the other place. The firms of Perkins & Gage and Iirown & Phillips want to estab lish branches at Sarawak, and each is to forward $23,000 In silver. I'm to have charge of the craft which carries it." "Well, that's an easy job," I said. "Is it? Just wait a minute. Did you ever hear of Wong-Lee?" "He's the Chinese pirate." "Just so, and the boldest as well as Hie cutest devil who ever sailed ti junk or cut a white man's throat. That's my troube Wong-Lee. He's got spies in every port clear to the end of the Yellow sea, and there's no doubt he Btnnds in with many Chinese officials. He's got the news that this money is going to Sarawak." "Well, you've got a steamer here to carry it and run away from his old Junks." "Hang it, man!" cried the captain, as he brought his fist down on the table, "you don't see the point! When this steamer came in three days ago, to load the boxes nnd hiviH vt. Q,'nv all her crew desterted her but the white engineers. The story about the money leaked out somehow, and the fellows were afraid of Wong-Lee. No doubt he'sgot spies right in the waro houses." "Why not ship tho money on the bark there?" I asked. "That's what I propose to do now, but couldn't think of it before, be- "WE'VE GOT TO BE DEVILISH SLY." cause I had no crow to depend on. We've got to be devilish sly, however, and tho chances are even up that Wong-Leo gets on to our gume." That afternoon the twelve of us from the "Huntress" signed on for a voy age to Sarawak and return, with posi tive orders that no man drir.lr a drop or liquor or open his mouth legardlng our port of destination. I Mas given the berth of chief mate, and accom panied by one of the men, vent aboard tho bark, which was called tho "Gull."

She was used for trading along the coast and among the islands, and a neater craft no sailor would care to be aloard of. The other ten men weie hidden away until wanted, nnd the next day we began to ship a crew for a oyage to Corea and return. This wus the first move in tills game to blind Wong-Lee. The second was to ship a crew for the steamer and give out that she was bound for Formosa. There was yet a third game to bo played. The boxes in which the silver was stored each held $2,000. Twenty live extra boxes were made and filled HE WAS SUUU THAT THE JUNK A IU2L with wet sand. This was done by em ployes who could bo trusted. After midnight, one night, the money boxes were carried aboard of the "Gull" and stowed away in the lazaretto under tho cabin, while the boxes of sand were carried aboard the steamer in broad daylight. On the third day both the steamer nnd the bark wete ready to leave. Both crafts had shipped short handed crews, and with a purpose In view. We killed time from mid-afternoon till 10 o'clock at ulght. Then the steamer cast off and headed toward tho north. Two hours later Captain Bay nor was ready to put to sea. Our men came aboard one by one during the evening and had been smuggled Into the cabin. We had on ilenk slv Ohtn. ese sailors, not one of whom were able seamen, ana they were floundering about and growling at our being short- nanueu, when the ten Americans walked out of the cabin and there was a change in the programme. It would not do to send these fellows ashore In a boat, and we did not want them un derfoot. It was therefore decided to imprison them on the ballast. It was a thing we might have to answer for in court later on, but Captain Itaynor took tho bull by the horns, and t trans- pireu mat ne never did a more lucky thing. "Wo may 'have thrown dust in the eyes of Wong-Lee, or wo may have missed it," ho explained: "If we happen to encounter him, we don't want these scoundrels against us as well. Three of them have such hang-dog looks that we may suspect them of anything." Whllti I had been shipping the crew tho captain had seen to arming the bark. Ho had put aboard a dozen muskets, as many cutlasses, plenty of cartridges and two double-barreled American shotguns. Even if he could have bought cannon, there was no one aboard who knew anything of gun nery. Counting the cook and steward, who were Malays and hatens of the Chinese, there were fifteen of us in the crew, and wo felt w ought to be able to give a fair account of ou revives If laid aboard. The steamer made a run of 1.10 miles to the north, and then, as planned befoiehund. something went wrong with her machinery. A day was spent in making repairs, and sho limped back .to Saigon and her orew were dlschnrced. She had sepn nothing of Wong-Lee, but uiero was a good rea son ror it, aa wo afterwards ascer tained. In spite of all our sharpness and secrecy, the pirate's spies got on to our little game and knew that only the lnoxea of sand went by the steamer. Wong-Leo knew our i1oitirmtinn th course we must take with 'the prevail ing winus, ana he was In the wake of tho "Gull" before she had sailed twen ty miles. When morning came we had a flno working breeze and crowded th bark along, but there was a junk astern which held her position so steadily that wo knew sho was something better than a trader. In a run of four hours we did not gain a foot on Jier, though tho "Gull" would pasa the average mer chant Junk with everything double Teefed. Wone-Leo had the fastest na tive craft afloat, and when noon came and our pursuer still maintained her position, we tried; a little experiment In hopes to settle her Identity. "It's my opinion that some of the fel lows down in' the hold are pirates and have sailed with Wong-Lee," said Cap tain Baynor. "If so, they will know his craft on sight. AVe'll rouse em up for an airing and then watch 'em." The prisoners' lashing were cast off and they were brought on deck and crowded forward into tho bows, nnd the crew watched them In n. furtive a mllo away tho crow pulled and hauled uiuy, ana it was. perhaps fifteen mln utes before they made out the Junk astern. There wwo no lees than seven A A t tt-WI WTVi JN.'S palls In sight from our decks at that time, There wns immediate excite men among tho prisoners, and pretty soon .tho leader, who was one of the three we believed to bo pirates, sent word aft that he wished to speak to the -captain. When this license was grant ed he said he was sure the Junk astern was commanded by a relativo of his who hailed from the Catwlck islands, and who would receive the prisoners on board. He was given a glass and told to make sure, and after taking a long look he reported that ho was positive of the Junk'B Identity. That was all we wanted to know. Ho had recognized the pirate Junk, and It was now plain to us that Wong-Lee had spatted our game and was after our dollars. It would be a good time to have it out with him at noonday and with friendly crafts in sight, and tho prisoners were sent below, tho muskets loaded, and we brought the bark to the wind to wait for the Junk. She was about five miles astern, nnd our sudden and un expected movement seemed to confuse her for a time. She at first shortened sail, but realizing that this would bo looked upon as auspicious, sho shook out the reefs and came down to wind ward of us and hoisted a signal that she desired to speak. I was in tho main rigging watching her with a glass.. When she was three miles astern her decks seemed to be crowded with men. Ten minutes later all but about a dozen had disappeared below. I saw colls of rope flung down to litter the decks, and as she brought up half a mile away ho crew pulled and hauled like a lot of land lubbers. "The old boy Is coming aboard for a look around," said Captain Kaynon 'ASTERN ,WAS COMMANDED BY ATIVE. when I had reported to him, and before the pirate's small boat was in the water we had made our plan. Five of our men were hidden away In the hold, all fliearms put out of sight, and we were to seem to believe any yarn the visitor thought best to relate. None of us had ever seen Wong-Lee, but his personal description had been cir culated, and when a giant of a celes tial with a long scar across his right cheek came over our rail from his boat, o knew we were face to face with one of the most cunning and blood thirsty pirates of the age. He brought only two men with him, who remained in the boat, and he had no weaDons of any sort in sight. He seemed a bit taken aback to find a crew of white men aboard, and so few in number, ami he glanced up and down as If ex pecting to see a gun or two. "That's old Wong-Lee for a cent1" whispered Captain Baynor, ns he moved forward, "and we'll see If n Yankee can't pull the wool over his eyes. If we go below for. a talk, do you watch the Junk and see that sho doesn't edge down on us. Keep tho men at Work, nnd let 'em understand that they are not to pay too much at tention or seem to suspect anything." (To Be Continued.) Her Itcbellious Eyes. Trom tho Omaha Bee.

New York Commercial Advertiser, The United States, with a population of fully 67,000,000, ranks as one of the thifp most powerful and wealthy na tions on the surface of the globe. The territory of the United States consists of 3,002,900 square miles; extreme breadth from Quoddy Head In Maine to Cape Flattery, Washington, 2,720 miles; extreme length, from the forty-ninth- parallel to the Itio Grande, J.C00 miles. In natural and developed re sources tho country Is growing richer and richer every year, as will be seen by the following condensation of cen sus and concurrent statistics that are being constantly gathered by the gov ernment buieaus. During the last half of the nrcsent century the production of gold in the United States has assumed enormous rmportlons. From 1792 to 1834 the yield of gold from the matrix of the mine and surface deposits reached an aggre gate value of $14,000,000, while from 184 to 1847 It amounted to $10,000,000. From 1847 to 18S0 the figures rose to $1,814, 262,030, nnd the estimate for the past seven years Is $215,937,000. This shows that $2,054,199,000 have been extracted from the bowels of the earth, with a continual yearly capacity of over $30, 000,000. Statisticians claim that fully $300,000,000 of gold has escaped enu meration, so that this country has pro duced $2,100,000,000 In gold during the last flfty years. EXTENSIVE GOIiD FIELDS. Gold Is found In remunerative depos its in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Cali fornia, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Michi gan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carollnn, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennes see, Texas, Utah, Vlrglnln, Washing ton nnd Wyoming. California has led tho list, except In 1877, when Nevnda produced $18,000,000. There are today 100,000 gold and sliver mining "claims" or locations, but not more than C,000 are in steady and successful operation. These mines afford employment to 57, 307 persons, at the rate of $729 per Indi vidual, and the value of the mining plants Is estlmnted at $465,960,560. The average annual production of gold Is 1.CS9.1CC fine ounces, value $34,918,173; of silver, 56,452,025 fine ounces, coining value $72,988,370 making a total yearly value for both metals of $107,900,513. Colorado and Nevada arc the prin cipal silver producing states. During the thirteen years from 1S77 to ISS9 Inclusive Colorado produced $19,1S.,,69I, while Nevada's output during 'the same period was $131,402,791. The grand total for all the sliver states during these thirteen years was $5S9,955,292, showing that Colorado and Nevada produced nearly three-fifths of tho whole amount. The production of gold throughout the world In 1890 was $120, 000,000, of which the United States fur nished $35,000,000, or nearly one-third. The value of the world's output of sil ver In 1890 was $158,000,000. of which this country gave $73,000,000, or within a fraction of one-half the whole pro duct Australasia ranks next to the United States for gold and Mexico for silver. oun iron ores. Iron ores are found in Michigan, Ala bama, Pennsylvania, New York, Min nesota, Virginia, Wisconsin, Tennessee, NewJer3ey, Georgia, Colorado, Missou ri, Ohio, Kentucky, Texas, Massachu setts, New Mexico, Maryland, Connec ticut, Oregon North Carolina. Montana, Utah, West Virginia, and Idaho, their relative importance being as named. In 1891 Michigan produced 0,127,001 long tons of red nnd brown hematite and magnetic ores, Alabama, gave 1.9SCS30 tons of hematite, and Pennsylvania l.-i2,S2S tons. In the tame year Now ork mined 1.017,016 tons of hematite uuHiivuie ami carbonate ores. The output of these four states was 10 402,875 tons, that of the remalnlmr twenty-ono states being 3,978,203 tons or a. total for all of 14,591,178 tons, val ued at $33,351,978, an average- of $2 30 imi'SI' .In "I0 1Ile total pr0(Juct was 7,120,M2 tonB.

This description of mining gives employ ment to 37,707 persons, who receive J15.458.118, an average J409.95 per in dividual. Tho nverago cost of produc tion in all the states is $24,781,658, equal to $1 71 per ton. As an Iron producer the United States ranks equal with Great Britain, tho balance In favor of the latter being only 28,000 tons. COPPER AND, OTHER METALS. Copper Is found In Arizona, Michi gan, Montana, New Mexico, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada. Utah, California, Wy oming, Vermont and a few of tho southern states, their relativo Impor tance being as named. Tho total cop per product In 1891 was 295,810,070 pounds; value, $38,455,300; cost of min ing, $12,062,180, there being 8,721 persons employed a,lrvo and below ground, Lead mining Is divided principally Into two groups, the Iiocky mountain and the Mississippi valley sections. The first Includes Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, South Dakota and Utah, their annual average production being 287,986,600 pounds, valued at $4,712, 767.27. Tho Mississippi valley section comprises Kansas. Missouri and Wis consin, with an annual average pro duct of 9653,083 pounds, valued at $2, 13,459.99. Tho Rocky mountain region produces annually 287,986,000 pounds of lend ore, valued at $1,712,757.27; the Mississippi valley puts out 09,553.083 pounds of lead oro every year, value $2,643,469,09, and 315.0S0.975 pounds of zinc ore, value $2,723,818.03. The aggro gate value of the lead nnd zlne product for both sections Is $10,080,035.21, to which must bo added $350,352 for Ar kansas, Illinois, Iowa, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New Mexico and tho southern states, malting tho value for the aggregate annual product $10,430, 3S7.21. This lead nnd zinc Industry cm plays 6,131 persons, who receive J4.22S, 034 In wages. The value of tho United States mnn gnneso product wns $239,129 in 1891; nickel and cobnlt yielded $134,093; anti mony, $47,000; aluminum, JG.871,380, and chromatic iron ore, $30,000. California Is a large quicksilver producer. In 1890 there were 93,714 tons of cinnabar ore, of which 92.904 tons were roasted, and furnished 26.4G1 flasks of quicksilver, valued at $1,190,500. Tho total quick silver lead from 1830 to 1890 was 1,614, 811 flasks, valued at $69,230,000. and Is nearly equal to one-third of tho entire product of the world. Tin is found in the Hlack Hills, iSouth Dakota, California and Vlrglnln, the yield for 1892 having a value of $32, 400. Florida, Georgia and North and South Carollnn produce In phosphates an nnnual average of 1,231,703 tons, valued at $7,153,141. In this connection It should be remembered that there are 143,200,000 acres devoted In the United States to the growth of wheat, maize, oats, barley, lye and buckwhent, and scientists estimate that these grnlns take from the soil 2,714,585,473 pounds of phosphoric acid every year, nnd if wo add the large product the total Is! b,20l, 000,000 pounds. So all of this phos phate production is needed for home consumption. Tho total capital invest ed in phosphate mines is $14,300,067 for land, nnd $4,705,782 for plants, the av erage number of employes being 10,000. THI3 COAX, REGIONS. Tho United States coal deposits are both anthracite nnd bituminous In character. The anthracite region em braces Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Colorado and New Mexico, covering 9S3 square miles. Tho average production of anthracite coal Is 45.600.4S7 short tons per annum, on an Investment of capital amounting to $162,035,610, and It requires the labor of 124,310 persons, who receive $39,305, 217. Adding $21,857,570 for other expen ses, the co3t of production Is $01,212,587. Estimating the coal at $2.50 per ton it would yield $114,001,218, showing a year ly prollt of $52,7S9,131. The bituminous region is divided Into seven separate groups, the Trlassic, Appalachian, Northern, Central, Western, Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast. The Trl asslo group includes Virginia and North Carolina, with an area of 2,883 square miles. The Appalachian group consists of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Mary land, Virginia, West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Al abama, covering an area of 01,510 square miles. The western group cov ers Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Arkansas, Texas and the Indian Terri tory, with ait area of 98,700 square miles. Tho Rocky Mountain group in cludes North and South Dakota, Mon tana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado nnd New Mexico, area undefined. The Pac ific groy) embraces Washington, Ore gon and California, area as yet unde fined. The seven bituminous groups annually produce an average of 93,029, 020 short tons, which, at $2 per ton, gives a value of $191,238,032. Tho aver age amount of wages Is $C9,7G3,711 per annum, to 175,242 employes, with $15, E5S.482 for other expenses, a total of $83,324,193, showing a profit of $105,933, 839. The capital Invested in the entire bituminous region Is $180,722,319, nnd the annual mining value of the entire anthracite and bituminous yield is $305,239,270, In 1892 the aggregate capital Invest ed In coal mining throughout the Uni ted States was $313,757,929; wages paid, S109.130.92S; total expenses, $146,53C,2S0. The aggregate production was 141,229, 513 tons, from 2,583 regular and 9,969 lo cal mines, covering an area of 1,248,373 acres of land, valued at $134,854,793. The total number of employes In all the fields was 299,552. PETROLEUM. The production of petroleum has a yearly average of 54,291,180 barrels.wlth a marketable value at tidewater of $32, 575,1SS. This gives the annual coal de posits a value of J33S,000,000. The pet roleum flow began in 1859, and since then there have been) produced over 620,000,000 barrels, the increase to the wealth of the country from this single Item being over $6,000,000,000 In thirty- four years. Tho mining Industry of tho United States also includes building stone, lime, natural gas, cement, salt, miner al waters, potteis' clay, mineral paint, borax, gypsum, grindstones, fibrous talc, pyrites, soapstone, asphaltum, precious stones, bromine, corrundum, baryltes, graphites, millstones, nova cullte, marls, (lint, liourspar, infusor ial earth, feldspar, mica, ozoclntee, sulphur, asbestos and nitrite. The ag gregate value ot all theso products Is $333,043,139. It will thus be seen that these mining Industries annually produce about $800, 000,000 as an addition to the wealth of the nation.
