DEPARTMENT STORES OF PARIS
system by Which the Employees Are
Organized, Lodged and Fed.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The great department stores In Paris,
such as the Bon Marche, the Louvre
and the Printemps, carry the organiza-
tion of employees to point not dream
ed of here, and have in operation ex-
tensive and costly plans for stimulat-
ing the interest and energy of the help
in the business to the highest degree.
The new employe receives at the start
a salary of 400 francs, or about $50
year, besides being lodged and fed, and
in addition a commission OF from 2 to
per cent. upon his sales, so that the
lowest salesman rarely makes less than
$3.50 year. A head of department, or
buyer, as he is known here, may easily
make from $2500 to $4,000 a year, and
some of them exceed $1,000. While
these figures are low compared with
the $4,000 and $4,000 salaries paid in
New York, they seem high when meas
ured by the scale Of salaries that pre-
walls In France. Thus the best paid
among the higher employees receive
larger salaries that the presidents Of
sections in the council of state and
generals of divisions. The average pay
of an experienced salesman is about
1000 francs. or $500 a year.
The total number Of employees in the
Bon Marche and the Louvre is about
5000 each, among whom are only about

(Which are really side tunnels from the
shafts) and the ore stopped out and con-
veyed In small ore wagons along such
drifts or levels to the shaft. hoisted to
the surface, and thence lowered down
the steep mountain-side to the nearest
wagon road leading to the mill or rail-
road. AS the shafts are frequently
hundreds of feet deep, and the mouths
of the shafts frequently hundreds, IL
not thousands of feet above the bot
tom of the adjoining gulch or valley,
the ore has to be hoisted by steam
power to the surface (such steam pow
er involving the conveyance of fuel
from the valley to the shaft house),
and from the mouth of the pumping
plants, in addition to the cost of hoist
ing the ore and subsequently getting 1t
down the steep hillside.
The expense of pumping hosting and
hauling seriously reduces the margin
of profit and in some cases extingulshes
1t altogether.
1t is obvious that under the above
circumstances, through tunnel driven
into the mountain and reaching the ore
bodies at a low level-say from the
level Of the bottom of the adjoining
gulch-not only can the ore be extract
ed from below and taken out almost
by natural gravity or the minimum
of power, thereby saving the expense
of hoisting and subsequent conveying
down the steep hillside, but also drain
age can be had by natural gravity,
thereby dispensing with the expensive
pumping plants, costly fuel, wages of
engineers etc

THE MINING TUNNEL,
What 1t Has Done in Efecting Econo.
mics in New Developments.

From the Engineering Magazine.
Many persons residing at a distance
from mining districts have the most
erroneous Ideas as to the supposed sim
plicity and enormous profits of mining,
apparently deriving their information
from the data of phenomenal assays,
or occasional pockets of rich ore, mis-
takenly assuming that such cases are
average samples, and that ore can be
dug almost as potatoes are dug. On the
contrary, with the exception of a very
few mines which may pay expenses
from the grass roots down, successful
mining today involves the maximum
of practical experience, professional
knowledge and financial means. This
is fully borne out by the following brief
notice of some of the leading mining
tunnels Of Colorado.
The outcrops of mineral-bearing veins
or ledges are usually found on the steep,
rocky slopes of high mountains, sepa-
rated by deep and great gulches or ra-
vines. AS the veins usually dip into
the solid interior of the mountains,
shafts are sunk either on the veins
themselves, ore being taken out as the
process goes on, or in such proximity

FOUNDER'S DAY AT PALO Alto.
Faculty and students Honor tho Memory
of the Late Senator Stan
ind

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL,
March 10.-Yesterday was a holiday for
the university students, and the birthday
of the late Senator Leland Stanford was
appropriately observed with exercises in
the chapel in the evening. The chapel
was we'll filled with students. faculty
memb bers and visitors before the COM
ment of the exercises. The pulpit from
which the speakers addressed the audience
was tastefully decorated with evergreens
and choice flowers and pottei plants.
DR.. Stillman: acting president of the
presided Miss Edith V. Jaggers rem
dered s'Sing, o Heart" with great express
sion. She was accom- panied BY Duly 81.
DR.. Stillman then traced briefly the his
tory of the university. Said he:
We observe this day in memory of the Illus
trious founder. Twelve years ago the endow-
ment act was signed. This put the bequests to
the university under the protection of the
State Palo Alto, place now dear 10 us all,
chosen as the spot for the location OF
Stanford University. In 1891 the university
opened with thirty instructors and the sur
prising number of 400 students. Then came
DAYS OF trouble. Mrs. Stanford. with indomi-
table courage, met them all unfiinchingly.
Great praise is also due to DR.. Jordan. With
out the help of DIR. Jordan the faculty and the
unive rsity itself could not be held together.
Laws have been passed by the State of Cali
fornia to aid Mrs. Stanford in her work. The
lawmakers have refused, however, to relieve
the university from taxation. Mr.. Timothy
HOPKINS has also been of great assistance to
the university The seaside laboratory and
the railroad library are due to his free-handed
generosity.
Rev. Mr.. Briggs was then introduced as
the speaker of the evening. He said, in
part:
We are not here to strew flowers on the
graves of the dead. We are mere to garland
