Caravan Parties.


Caravan holidays are in England re-
placing the house boat fad, A caravan,
be 1t understood, is a gypsy cart, gotup
in the style Of comfort one can afford,
and driven from place to place with its
occupants and accessories. All that
you want is nice, roomy caravan, with
good, strong horses and dining tent,
carried on the roof, to put up when o
halt is made. Two vans are needed
one for the kitchen and servants and
the other for the rest Of the party.
Bedroom space is, of course, limited,
and, therefore, the number OF guests
must be small. But If there is an inn
in the near neighborhood your sur
plus friends can sleep there and spend
the rest Of the day with the caravan
This kind Of gypsy life in pretty part
of the country presents endless oppor-
tunities for amusement.-N. \. World

VANCOUVER, u. c., Jan. VA story
81 alleged Chinese slavery has come To
light hero since the arrival of the
steamship Empress OF Japan from the
Orient. She brought from Hong Kong
to6 Chinese, OF which 1911 were reported
TO be destined for Tampico, Mexico, TO
work on plantations.
They we're under the rare of a Chit
naman named Ma Chop, who stated
that 1, 400 more are to follow. While
hcrding the Chinese from the dock to
q special train a stampede ensued. In
their frenzy a number rushed toward
tho edge OF the dock. They would
have fallen into tho bay had II not
been for n police officer who stopped
tho mad rush by knocking n score OF
them down. When they were finally
rounded up IL was found that eight
were missing. After several minor
stampedes the Chinese were pers uaded
10 get on the train.
The cause OF the frenzy and STAN.
pcde was tho arrival Of n Chlnaman
from San Francisco who told them
they had been sold rs slaves by Hong
Kong men and that they would never
go back to China. Local Chinese hero
are helping the men still In hiding In
every possible way. as all arc con.
vinccd that they and the remainder of
the 1900 to follow arc being sold into
slavery. They are going to send word
10 the Chinese government about IL.
The city police are hunting down
tho missing Chinese for cvading the
$50 poll tax. The Canadian Pacific
officials are also hunting them because
they have contracted to take tho party
safely over their lines and arc liable to
u heavy customs penalty for every
Chinaman landed in British Columbis
who does not pay poll tax.

On In Michigan.

NEW foRK, Jan. lT,-Negotiations
looking to the consolidation OF tho
copper mining interests Of the United
states have been In progress In this
city for a week.
With rcputcd backing no less pow
crful than hat OF tho Standard Oil in
~tcrests, the American Copper Mining
company, in It's combination Of six
plants, expects to rcvolutionizc the
copper mining industry OF tho world,
in which the United States already
figures as the chief factor. The Bos.
ton and Montana and the Butte and
boston Mining companies, tho Old
Dominion Copper company OF Arizona,
aud tho A~rcadian, Tamarack and Oscc.
ola Mining companies of Michigan arc
named as the component parts Of tho
new organization.
IL Is understood that the American
company will reach into Canada and
absorb important mines there, thus
making the combination into an inter-
national affair. The Calumet aud
l~IeclSla company, tho largest producer
N the Lake Superior region, has 80
far refused to enter the combination.
Men who have watched transactions
n copper mining stocks for 1898 de-
clare that u small coterie Of men have
added $50, 600. 900 to their wealth
through this channel.
The combination springs from the
recent upheaval In copper. Prices
have scared to tho highest figures
known, In face OF unprecedented con
sumption. The increased employment
Of electrical energy has caused an
enormous demand for copper. Euro.
pean countries alone, last year, used
$50, 7so, $50 pounds, and when IL Is con-
sldcred that American miners supply
most Of the foreign requirements, in
addition TO home demands, the posi-.
bilities in the copper situation become
apparent.
The Montana mines are the second
most important In the state which
heads the list OF copper producing
states, being exceeded In importanc,
only by tho Anaconda mine, owned by
Marcus DAILY and J. Is. Haggin. Th,
Arcsdian, Tamarack and Osceola prop
critics arc in the Hancock Houghsor
copper belt In the Northern Michigan
peninsula. The Arcndian mine has no
been worked to any great extent, al
though It's shares advanced at men
ton Of the consolidation scheme from
20 10 20 points.
The Portage lake district where tn,
Michigan mines involved are located
is In tho throes Of n copper craze tina
!, approNimates the Kafir mania In Soutl
} Africa. Brokers from Boston, whicI
is the American copper exchange, ar
-. doing n rushing business at branch OF
fees opened on the ground, and peopl
are buying mining shares as fast a

in inspiring new investments In Amer
