mineral wealth The deposits of iron
and copper ore in certain districts are
enormous. but as many of these dis
tricts are in the possession of semi-inde-
pendent princes the British Govern
ment does not care to arouse the i'll
feeling of these Princes by opening
their lands to prospectors. Neverthe-
less. the Government has managed to
bring sufficient pressure to bear upon
them to persuade them to sell 10 some
commercial companies.
On the line of one of the railroads
that have lately been built in India the
ngineers in cutting along the side of
a mountain came upon a mine ofalmo st
pure copper. A company Immediately
wanted to get possession of the prop
crty either by purchase or otherwise.
But the Prince To whom the property
belonged was too quick for the speeu-
lators. lie called his heather priests
to his aid. The union of church and
state proved very serviceable to the
Prince upon this occasion. The priests
accidentally passed by the cutting where
the rich copper vein was discovered. and
here had revelation of one of the po-
tent Hindu gods.
OF course. the spot at once became
holy ground. and the greedy English
mems bright dreams of millions van
iShed into thin air when. a few days La
ter. they saw a temple put up on the spot
and two priests offering incense before
the image of the god that had revealed
himself-N. y. Times.
