New Methods of Gold Mining.

The nature of the revolution indicated
will be understood by contrasting the con.
ditions of gold mining twenty years ago
and at the present time. The chief
source of the gold supply, up to very
recent day, has been the rich gold bearing
alluvium, which bears the same relations
to gold deposits in general as layer of
cream to a pot of milk. 1t is estimated
that from 1913 to 1875 nearly nine tenths
of the worlds gold came from alluvium.
Now. in greater part, this rich cream has
been removed and at the present time not
much more than third of the supply is
derived from this source. In other words,
placer mining has changed places with
lode mining, and the greater part of the
world gold can no longer be washed
down from the hillsides at comparatively
slight expense, but has to be sought in
the bowels of the earth, often at far
depths. More than this, quartz mines of
extraordinary richness are by no means so
common at the present time as they were
two or three or four decades ago. The
difficulty of working has steadily increas-
ed, while the average value of the ere has
steadily declined.
of working by a comparison between this
and the former day. The gold bearing
beds of the Transvaal are not difficult of
acces, nor expensive to work. They lie
in curiousy regular fashion, resembling
coal beds more than the general run of
gold bearing veins. The total output of
these finds was about 80 millions in 1894,
and mining authority, Professor Rick
ard, has estimated that to gain these 33
million of gold probably cost as much as
all the l43 millions which California and
Australia put forth in lS5l- 1888, taken
together. Or, to put the matter in an
other way, it has been computed that in
the bonanza placer days two men with a
shovel, pick and a rocker could gain as
much gold as ten men and ten stamps gain
at the present time. From ''That Flood
Of cold" by Carl Snyder, in the February

FANNIE i. WARD

Among the possible results of our clos
er acquaintance with Japan, growing out
of the recent war between that country
and China, is that of successful competi-
ton on the part of Japan in industrial
fields heretofore occupied exclusively by
the peoples of European race.
Up to the present time the merely spec
ulatlve possibility of danger to European
civilization had been expected from China.
A great many thoughtful people have be-
lieved that if we should succeed in teach
ing our methods to the Chinese we might
have to pay dearly for it. If we could
teach China to use her resources in war
as Germany has used hers, the result
might be unpleasant. The capacity of
China for furnishing the proverbial food
for powder is inexhaustibe Mongo-
liam domination of the human race would
be calamity worse than the Deluge.
This danger, if it ever existed, was al
ways remote. The Japanese danger is
near at hand. 1t is worth considering.
These skilful and industrious people have
advanced from their primitive methods of
manual labor; they have undertaken the
application of machinery to production,
and they have already achieved notable
results.
The note of alarm has been sounded
from the Pacific coast; the Chamber of
Commerce and the Manufacturers and
Producers Association Of San Francisco
have held joint meeting to take action.
They propose to investigate and to me-
morialize Congress. Among the articles
already produced by Japan are buttons,
watches, nails, textile goods, baskets and
wooden ware, straw goods, mating,
matches, and even sewing machines and
bicycles.
MI. Edward Atkinson has pointed out
that Japan will have to depend on this
country for her raw cotton. The Japan
ese bicycles are declared to be clumsy and
inferior. On the other hand, we are told
that straw plating works in Connect
cut is about to remove it's plant to Japan.
The Oakland Nail Company of California
is said to be preparing to make the same
move. Japanese capital is purchasing
European and American plants for the
manufacture of jute, cotton, silk, iron
and steel
How far the movement will proceed re-
mains to been seen. There are two cir
cumstances to be borne in mind. One is
that any addition made by Japan to the
worlds total production will lead to an
increase in the worlds capacity for con-
sumption. The other is that the demand
for Japanese labor will greatly change
the rate of Japanese wages. The Japan
ese workman will not long continue to
work for five cents day when his work
is worth dollar But the new situation
is well worthy of careful study. Har-
