most important surface discovery was
made only last winter. Many well In
formed mining men consider .be Camp
Bird the greatest gold mine in Amer
lea to-day, and yet it's owner looks up
on it as but n prospect, nearly ali the
values having been taken out while
simply getting ready to mine.
There is one spring within two blocks
of the heart of town when alone
should and in time will. attract thou
sands of invalids. 1t is still just as ma
ture created it. Not even n roof has
been placed above it. Clear as crystal.
it gushes from. the mighty rock. and so
hot that it fairly siZZles. Emiuent phy-
sicians have pronounced it specific
for a disordered stomach. Yet nature
has been so lavish in her bounties here
that the natives hardly consider 1t
worth calling to the attention of their
guests.
Big mountains seem to produce big
men, and to this rule Ouray Is no eA-
ception. One would hardly look to
gold mining camp to find solution of
the labor problem, and yet at the
Camp Bird mine, referred to before,
the relations of employees and owner
are well nigh ideal. At the tunnel
mouth. nine miles from town, and
within n few feet of timoer line, Mr..
Walsh has built boarding house for
his men that cost over $4,000, and Is
equipped with all the convenience5 and
luxuries of city hotel A well fur
nished library, billiard rooms, bowling
alleys and bath rooms are free to all.
The kitchen is presided over by as cap
able chef as money can procure and
all of these accommodations and com
forts are as free to the newest and
greenest laborer as to the manager of
the whole concern. When one remem-
bers that in addition to this Mr.. Walsh
pays his men the very highest wages
given for this kind of work he is not
surprised to learn that labor strikes
and black lists are here unknown
description of Ouray, without
mention of Box Canon. would certain
ly be repeating the play of Hamlet
with the hero left out. Bottle Canon
would be a more appropriate name for
this marvellous freak of nature. Photo
graphs of it are numerous, but they
convey but a most imperfect concep-
ton of its grandeur. The twilight
gloom, the deafening roar of falling
water, the little streak of blue sky
seen thousands of feet overhead and
the great black walls carved INTO most
fantastic shapes by the waters of ten
thousand years unite to inspire in the
beholder sense of his own littleness
compared with the mighty forces of
nature as not even the mighty Niagara
can do.
Involuntarily we raise our hats and
remain uncovered as we gaze, and the

than they used to, and the distinctive
points are not SO noticeable. and, sec
ond, an immense number of northern
folks have come into the south, and
the local manufacturers cater to their
patronage with a considerable percent
age of the factory output. But the ma
tive southern customer still calls for a
short high-arched shoe. In the old
days every southern gentleman had his
boots and shoes made to order, and
the impression is even now pretty gen.
eral that no factory-u:ade article can
possibly be as good as the hand-built
wares turned out by the antebellum
craftsman. That is a great mistake.
A high-class, machine-made shoe is
better than anything produced by hand.
for the reason that the stitching is alb
solutely uniform throughout. In hand
work no two stitches are of exactly
the same tension, but on the machine
they are as like as so many peas. The
result of this uniformity is that the
shoe holds its shape better and lasts
longer. That is one point out of many.
The only question is that of being fit
ted, and lastmaking has been reduced
to such an exact science that there is
no difficulty with any foot not abso-
lutely deformed." New Orleans Times

Trade with China.

During the year 1898 China import
ed from all foreign nations goods
valued at s146,000, 900. During the
same year the exports of China
amounted to s11S.0O0,O0o AS an evi-

est interest in China so far as trade
and commerce go it may be stated
that OF the total of Chinese imports

crown colony of Hongkong, which was
ceded to Great Britain by China in
1871. During the same year the Unit

to the value of s13 100000 and sent
back in return American goods valued
at little more than $4,000 600.

Frrx wItbout shells.

In the report of the trade of Italy
for the years 1898 and 1899, by Sir
George Bonham, secretary to her ma
jesty's embassy at Rome, there is an
interesting paragraph describing the
system adopted for the expectation of
eggs to England for pastry. The shell
is removed, and the interior of the
egg-white and yolk together-is pack
ed in air-tight vessels or drums con-
tanning each 900 eggs. Great care is
taken to ensure the eggs being fresh.
and to exclude the air, as one bad egg
spoils all the remainder, and renderG
the consignment unstable. The new
system has the advantage of removing
the risk of breakage, and is also pre-
ferred by the pastry cook for whose
use they are intended. AS to the ex.
tent of the trade in eggs, the report
mentions that in 1897 Russia exported
to England over 354,000. .000.-Mart

, AFRICAN SLAV TRADE.
Capture of Negroes In 10ab by an
American Ships Crew.

Capture of Negroes In 1GA5 by an
American Ships Crew.
The story of the first American voy-
age to Africa, of which we have n
definite record. tells us somewhat OF
the methods employed in obtaining
savage cargoes. A Boston ship. com
manded by one Capt. Smith. went
away to Madeira with salt fish and
staves Sailing thence. with the pro-
ceeds of her sale, she touched on the
coast OF Guinea, for slaves. She found
some London slave vessels already
there. with their captains very much
disgruntled because trade was dull.
There were very few slaves for sale,
that is. and to liven matters little.
the Yankees and the Londoners united,
and 'on pretense of some quarrel with
the natives landed a 'murderer'-the
expressive name of a small cannon-at-
tackled a negro village on Sunday, kill
ed many OF the inhabitants and made
few prisoners, two of whom fell to the
share of the Boston ship" That was
In 1642-Just twenty-six years after the
Dutchman landed the slaves in Vir-
ginia, as recorded by John Rolfe, the
first American squaw man. False pre-
tense, outrage and slaughter of inno-
cents characterized the first-recorded
gathering of slaves in which the Amer
lean ship had part. They killed many
ot the inhabitants, and got two slaves
for their share of the plunder. That
GApt. Smiths act was not according to
a. ordinary usages of the trade may
beHnferred from what happened when
he returned to Boston. A quarrel with
the ships owners over the proceeds
of the voyage resulted in a law suit.
The story of the voyage was told in
court, and although it was not a Grim
inal trial, one of the magistrates
charged the master with a three-fold
offense-murder, man stealing and
Sabbath breaking" The captain es-
capped punishment on these charges on
the ground that the court had no juris-
diction over crimes committed in
Africa Ia decision that was typical of
what was to Gomez, but the two slaves
were returned home.-"The Slave
Trade in America" by John r. Spears

As n Rule Shorter Than the Northern

There is no doubt a marked differ
ence," said New Orleans shoe man
ufacturer, in the size and shape of
the average foot north and south of
Mason and Dixon's line. A great deal
of nonsense has been written about the
so-called Creole last but the shoe
best adapted to high-class southern
trade does possess certain distinguish
ing features of its own. 1t is shorter
than the northern shoe, to begin with.
and has a much higher instep. The
difference in the instep varies from one
half to one and half inches, which is
equivalent to saying that man with
a typical southern foot could not get
into a shoe made on a typical nothern
last. The Creole model cuts less of a

Philadelphia, Sept. 24.-The tragedy
that has been looked for since the coal
workers strike was inaugurated came
suddenly and unexpectedly at Shen-
andoah yesterday afternoon. A posse,
hurriedly gathered together by Sheriff
Toole, Of Schuylkill county, TO meet
an emergency was forced 10 fire on n
mob hat was threatening workmen
on their way home under escort A
man and a little girl were instantly
killed and several others fell more or
less seriously wounded. Sheriff Toole
lost no time in calling on the COM
mander OF the guard of Pennsylvania
to send troops to aid him in keeping
the peace. After consulting the state
authorities at Harrisburg he decided
at midnight to send troops TO the tur
bulent region.
Shenandoah's trouble was precipi-
tated by the closing of six collieries
there yesterday morning through the
efforts Of strike leaders. More will
close today as a voluntary act, it is
said, on the part Of the Reading COM
pany. This is done at the request of
Sheriff Toole, who hopes in this man
ner to avert further rioting. The out
look at midnight, however, was dubi-
Gus, as the foreigners by yesterdays
happenings are in an ugly mood.

high Valley station by a mob with
sticks and stones. The miners drew
revolvers and fired. The mob became
furious after one of it's number was
shot, and attempted to close in on the
officials. They ran up Lloyd street
to O'Ilarra's stable, where they were
imprisoned for two hours. The mob
threatened to burn the stable, but
Sheriff Toole, with twenty deputies,
arrived and dispersed them, and the
mine officials returned to their homes.
The sheriff then took the posse to
indian Ridge c~olliery and escorted
some workmen up Center street. As
they again neared the Lehigh Valley
station the mob hurled stones at the
deputies and a shot was also fired
from a saloon. The deputies then
opened fire. They FASTENED toward
Main ~tsreet, in the meantime firing
over 500 shots, and the mob hurting
missiles of all kinds. One man and a
little girl were found lying dead after
the shooting. The crowd was finally
dispersed, and the sheriff and deputies
retired to the Ferguson house, the
most prominent hotel in Shenandoah.
During the riot windows were brok-
en-, buildings wrecked and a number
of persons were injured. The foreign
ers held a meeting last night and more
trouble is feared unless the militia ar
rives before morning. The sheriff has
asked the Philadelphia and Reading
company to abandon the idea of work
ing collieries here today and the
company consented to dc so.
