scarcely to be recognizable by tho orig
inators. In certain essentla $ the 81 *
industry is, of corrse. practically to.
day what IL was in the time Of Justinian,
or for that matter In the time of the
Empress Si-Ling-Chi, but the use OF
machinery for unwinding the cocoons
and lo.' spinning the thread has practi-
cally placed the business under new
conditions. Meantime, however, the
Chinese have kept on in the same way
without the slightest Improvement on
the methods of 1000 years ago, and in a
Chinese village of the present day men
and women may be seen Keeling off
threads from the cocoons just as their
ancestors did i'm the time of Christ. 1t
is an industry which can be followed
anywhere, and in the humblest Chinese
dwellin s, in the boat houses along the

how many prominent mines of the
country were discovered by chance.

history of the Cortez mines. Simeon
Wenban had run the Garrison Tunnel
at great expense and was left poor
man, owing his creditors $50, 900.
There was not pound of ore in sight
whereby the debt might be paid. AS

wall and blasted out a huge piece of

and ever since he has grown more
wealthy. The mine is the best paying
property in the State at the present
time Cen trail NeUddan.
