MINING IN COREA.
Described by J. sIoat Fassett Who

Who has Just returned from Corea-
where he is interested in gold mining.
says: Korea seems a good way from
here, and it is, but we can ship a ton
of freight from New York to our mines
near the YaIoo river as cheaply as the
same ton can be sent to the noun
tains of Idaho, and just about as quick
". too. We have been interested in
mining for five years now on a conces-
sion covering I 600 square miles. Our
lease has % years to run. We have the
right to mine any mineral, but we have
confined our attention to gold alone
All of our machinery is of American
manufacture, as this country makes the
best mining machinery in the world
'Corea IS picturesque, beautiful, fer

industrious and agreeable people At
our mines we employ IS white men and
5000 coolies. Our venture has been and
is an interesting experiment We are
the pioneers there. and We had to over
come all the obstacles in a new and in
most respects a wild country. There
are many good fields in COrea- as the
country Possesses a continuation Of the
gold bearing outcrops of Siberia and
