Japan made last year one hundred and
twenty million postal cards at a cost of

A slower but as sure revolution is 60
ing on in China. The four hundred odd
millions Of pig-tailed celestials are pulling
and it is only a question of time how soon
they will be putting their wonderful
muscles. their sharp business brains and
their five cents day habits of living into
competition with our eight-hour two-dollar-

ducts of the world. They have coal and iron
In every one of their eighteen provinces.
They can do as good work as we can, and
they will work twelve hours for one-twen-

they enter the modern manufacturing race
the question will not be one Of competition.
It will be one of existence. and We will
have to build a protective tariff barrier
about the country as high the Wash

expenses to the size of the aluminium tip
on the top of 1t. At the present time. big
cotton factories have been established in

sfIverware Cheaper Than Dollars

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
You can now purchase solid silverwar
made up into forks. spoons. ETC., which win
weigh much more than the silver money
YOU paw for it." said jeweler yesterday.
In other words. you can buy silver with
less silver than is contained In your pur-
chase, notwithstanding the fact that a GER
tain amount of labor has been put upon
1t to shape II into forks, spoons. etc. Sill
verware was never cheaper than It is to-
day Why, the prices are so far down that
IL is almost folly to buy plated ware. as
YOU can purchase the sterling article for
the same price. In eastern houses all fiat
ware is being sold by the ounce. III you ask
the price of forks or spoons the dealer does
not name the figure per dozen, but tells you
that the ware Is so much per ounce. We
are now selling spoons which formerly sold
for S12 dozen for just one-half that price.
Plates and platters which are made Of the
best grades of white metals must now COM
pete with solid silver goods for their prices
are nearly the same. The fact Of a person
using solid silver upon his table Is now no
criterion OF his circumstances. Tor " = a.

mining at Neal for year or more
and was a partner Of unfortunate
Mark Ainslie, the death Of whom
has caused a suspension Of opera
tions at his mine. He confirms all
the good reports from the Hidden
Treasure mine and says that on last
Tuesday Amos Lee and Dan Hill
cleaned up $4,000 from run Of so
tons Of ore. The Hidden Treasure
owners are now negotiating for the
purchase or lease Of the Ainslie
mill--they having enough good ore
in sight TO keep it running for an
indefinite time. DR.. Powers has
gone to Bruneau valley in search of
