FRENUHMEN GET GRANTS,
Chinese Concessions Secured
Some EnterDrising Miners

Chicago, Aug. S.-A special to The Rec
ord from Tacoma says: Frenchmen have
secured valuable mining concessions in
the interior of China and propose de-
veloping them without delay, according
to e. Landauer of the Partisan bank, a
cousin of the Rothschilds. He arrived
here several days ago from China and
left for New York, where he will take a
steamer for home next Saturday. Lam
dauer has been in China four years rep
resenting Partisan syndicate, for which
he has secured coal, quicksilver and other
mineral concessions in China valued at
500, 100000.
Iandauer says Europeans and Ameri-
cans are just beginning to realize China S
immense mineral resources. These have
been neglected by the Chinese because
Confucius taught that tilling the soil was
the safest foundation of any states pros
perity and the peoples best vocation.
Landauer found that one Of China 8
richest mineral fields in SEE Cheun prov
ince is undcrlaid with a vast sea of Pc
troeum. The province contains G0,0O0,-
600 people. and the value of this petro-
leum can scarcely be computed. consider
ing that China is importing millions of
dollars worth of kenosene annually from
Russia, America and Sumatra.
