pie is concerned we cannot stop to con-
slider how the interests of railroad
stockholders are affected. New inven-
lions are constantly making manufac-
turing cheaper; but we can't stop to
take into account the man who owns
the old machinery, who may be ruined
by the new. Railroad interests would
suffer from the building of great ship
canal, but there must be in time re-
organization of railroad properties In
this country Almost every railroad in
the United States is overcapitalized.
The average would probably be so per
cent. That is the stocks and bonds of
the railroads represent 80 per cent more
than the actual cost OF the road. In
some cases they represent great deal
more than that. This Is especially true

Where Socialists Invest

Much amusement has been created in
Germany by the discovery that almost
the entire funds of the powerful So
cialist and anarchist movement in the
dominions OF Emperor William are in
vested for safety in Prusslan and Ger
man government bonds. This fact has
been brought TO light through the pub
location of financial report by the
leaders of the movement appealing for
subscriptions and complaining that
during the last year the expenses have
been SO heavy and the contributions
relatively SO small that the treasurers
found themselves unable. to invest the
same amount of money in government
bonds as in previous years.

would be 16 per cent on the amount in

has not been very much said about ca
nails in recent years because the rail
road In competition with them have
got their rates SO low that they smut
the canals out. Suppose that result
followed the building Of great ship
canal from the Mississippi by way of
the great lakes to the Atlantic. If the
canal never carried another pound of
freight 1t would have accomplished its

This would give the miner not less than
$40 Il day for his work. Some panfuls
have yielded 500 in precious metal. The
gold that remains in the pan after the
earth has been washed away is called
dust" Some Of 1t is as fine as the
finest sand, some of it in grains the size
of n pinhead and some as large as
pea or the end OF your little finger but
1t Is all known as dust" Jumps the
size of a haZelnut or a walnut and
larger are called nuggets.
The gold itself is the measure Of the

v'ded with gold scales, and the minera'
dust Is accepted as so much coin of the
realm. As much as can he held on the

from 81 TO $3.50, But this small quantity
is often only the yield of 80 or 10 pans.
That is, II a miner can save in one pan

making fair wages.
Some OF the gold is In such fine par
ticles that 1t floats like peppery dust
and does not sink to the bottom under
any circumstances. A considerable por-
tion OF such floating gold runs over the
top of the pan and is lost. 1t is estlma-
ted that in the first placer mining in
California about one-fourth OF the gold
was thus tossed aside, To this day Chi
namen are engaged in panning the ref

make from $1.25 to s. day in the oper-
alton. In Klondike, where much OF the
gold is very coarse, the miners lose
very little of the precious metal by rea-

of western roads Why? Because 1t
was an easy way for the men who built
those roads to make money. The in
crease was not entirely indefensible.
Take the case of n man who built a
road out on the prairie. Following the
railroad came boom in values. Real
estate went up to two and three times
it's former price. Other values ad-
vanced proportionately. 1t was only
natural that the owner of the rail-
road should increase the estimate of
the value of his property on the same
scale. In that way, in the many ways
known to the promoters of railroad en-
terprises, stocks were watered. and val
ues must be scaled down. Railroads
must be prepared to earn fair return
on their value only.
