MINING Is NOT A CRAZE.

There is a great deal of deprecating
of mining under the guise of conserv-
ing the public good; and mining is a
pursuit which should be fostered as
much as any other. Any excitement
which is caused by the unearthing of
millions, is called "crize." The
South African boom is called a "craze,"
yet over $45, 100000 was produced in
1897, and nearly double the amount in
1898, and the present years output
promises to equal both former years.
The discovery of copper in the Lake
Superior regions in 1916, and the ex-
element which followed in 1848, was
called a craze" yet it opened up for
the period, the greatest copper mines
of the world, and led to the discovery
of iron mines in that region, and made
the iron industry of the United States
the peer of that of England. The gold
discovery in California in 1849, which
caused $4,000 people to traverse 1000
miles of desert, besides 10000 who
went by sea to reach that golden shore,
was called craze" And what was
the result The State of California was
born in about one year, and $512, 900 900
of gold was produced in the succeeding
ten years. Nevada, in 1850, and the
bonanza days of Comstock, all were
"crazes;" but $500, 900, 900 of gold was
the reward. When we analyze all, we
find there is a substantial output back
of the speculation, as in Africa, with
it's output of $145,0O00,000 in gold in
the last nine years. Mining Jurors
bring forth new money, more of it. life
to every community, and their record
of the future will show that legitimate,
skillful mining is not hazardous No
mining craze" could produce more
distress than has in the past been
caused by the mortgaging of farms
for every dollar they will stand.
Much has been written upon the
wonderful richness of the copper
mines owned by The Black Diamond
Copper Mining Company, 80 John
street, New York City, n. Y, and as
an investment We are free to say that
these stocks are the equal of any other
form of speculation within the knowl-
edge of this paper. We have made a
thorough and extensive investigation
of the possibilities in this direction.
and we feel that the means at our
command enable us to give such adj
vice as our readers can rely on.
We have no interest whatever in
these mines, except to recommend them
to our readers as good investment.

FUNERAL OF HAROLD HANCHER
Will Take Place Monday Afternoon.
A Military Euneral.

Ill
A Military funeral.
The funeral of Harold Hancher, four
teen-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. c.
M. Hancher, will take place from the
family residence, lis South Penn street
Island, Monday afternoon at two
o'clock. The interment will be made
in Greenwood.
The parents have the heartfelt SYM
pathy of host of friends. Harold was
an only child and the bereavement
was rendered even more sad to his
father and mother from the fact that
had he lived until yesterday he would
have attained his fourteenth birthday.
Among his classmates at the LiDsly
Institute, where he was regarded as a
bright and honorable student by his
instructors, he was most popular. He
was even more of a favorite in delen-
tante society. His death was due TO
injuries sustained riding a wheel on
the occasion of the last Linsly fiesl
day
He will be accorded military burial
by the battalion at the Institute, with
the firing of the final salute and taps
over the open grave. The cadets are
requested to bring white gloves and
crepe on Monday for the funeral The
pallbearers will be chosen from among
his classmates.

In the evening an informal, though
quite delightful musical recital was
given in the music hail. LISTS piano

Fertilizer Tax q Good Revenue
Measure.

The law passed by the last Gener-
al Assembly, imposing a tax of 10
cents per ton on all fertilizers sold in
Virginia, has proven successfully as
revenue measure.
The law went into operation on
the first day of last January. Up to
the 23rd day of June the taxes paid
on fertilizers amounted to SIS, 959,1O
The total amount sold was 1864
tons.
There has been little fertilizer sold
in the State since May. The selling
will be resumed in August for the
fall crops. Captain I. J. Stratton,
chief of fertilizer inspectors, said
yesterday he thought the total reve-
nue. to the State fertilizers would
amount to about $4,000.
Under the law the fertilizer tax il
to be expended in defrsying the cost
of maintaining the Department OF
Agriculture, the expense of inspect
ing fertilizers sold, and In conduct
ing experimental farming. The cost
of inspection alone will probably
mount mp to $4,000. The ten in
spectors receive a salary of $50 per
month for four or five months in the
year. Their expenses are probably
twice as great as their salary.
The price of fertilizer has not ad
vanced since the passage of the law
About two months before the anact
ment of the law, the price was sd.
vanced, but there has been no increase
since the passage of the law. In other
words, as was pointed out by sn off.

OUR TRADE INTEREST In CHINA
The relative interests Of England
and the United States in trade with
China, says the New York Herald,
may be deduced from the recently
issued report of the Imperial Mari
time Customs for the year 1899.
Stated in dollars, the imports were
193,OO0,0OO and exports $4,000,
600, a total of $336,0O0,OOO. Of
this the United States got ID per
cent. Crest Britain and her colonies
63 per cent. and Japan more than
half of the remainder. 1t will be
seen that although American trade
with China has steadily increased in
recent years, it is very small compar-
ed with England's
The trade of the United States
both ways with all China and in
Guiding Hongkong for the fiscal year
1899 was $43, 900, 900, which is only
23 per cent. of the total volume of
our foreign commerce for that year.

Hay Renominated by Acclama-
ton.

The Democratic Congressional
Convention for the Seventh Distric,
of Virgins met in Hsrrisonburg,
last Wednesday and renominated the
Hon. James Hay by reclamation for
third term in the House of Rep
resentatives.
Floyd W. Weaver, of Page county
was both temporary and permanent
chairman of the convention.
The only contest In the convention
was between the opposing factions
from Shenandoah county, which sent
contesting delegates. This matter
was compromised as nearly as was
practicable, each delegation being ad-
mitted with half a vote each. The
Miley organization was recognized as
the only legitimate democratic Or
ganizstion in Shenandoah county,
but the recent call for primaries was
condemned theoretically by a resolu-
ton, which recommends that the
next call for primaries to reorgsnize
the party be submitted for approval
to the chairman of the State Central
Committee, and that it be published
at least thirty days before the time
fixed for primaries.

vigorous speech on national Issues,

The New York Journal deals with
the st. Paul speech of the republican
candidate for President as fol-
lows
Governor Roosevelt has "struck the
keynote" of the campaign. And the
keynote is-Dodge.
1t was great speech the Governor
delivered at st. Paul. He took up
the issues successfully. On the silver
question he began:
There is little need to argue against
free silver now.
When the applause that greeted
that powerful argument had subsidized
Mr.. Roosevelt proceeded to the next
question. Said he:
Now, as to expansion. 1t hardly
seems worth while to waste any time
upon what the Kansas City people
oAll imperialism" and mllitarism.
So, wasting little time upon that
subject, he skipped on to sour plain
duty" concerning which he remark
ed:
What they say about Cuba and
Porto Rico need not detain us for a
moment.
So it did not detain him for a mo-
ment, and he was ready to trip gsyly
to the next point:
Many of the positions taken by the
populistic democracy at the moment
are SO palpably dishonest and main
tanned In 80 palpable bad faith that
to state them Is sufficient. 1t is hard
ly necessary to discuss what they say
about "the Constitution following the
flag"
Which brought the Governor to his
triumphant climax:
So it is with their cant about "mil-
itarism" and intimidation and OBJ
preston at home" as following what
they are pleased to call Conquest
sprosu. We cannot argue with them
on this proposition, because no serious
man thinks for q moment that thev
believe what they assert.
This able effort naturally brought
thunders of applause. The Minneso-
tans all agreed that it was the best
argument that could possibly be made
on the republican side. They were
especially pleased with Governor
Roosevelt's denunciation of the
"worst trust to be found today in the
United States-the Ice Trust" be-
cause they realized that if the Gov
ernor would not use his power TO
crush the worst trust In the United
States he would certainly be a safe
man to send to Washington to look
after the interests of the other trusts.
