Copper I. Dear.

Several of the largest abandoned
copper mines in eastern Maine will
again be operated. The Maine copper
mines were in successful operation in
1879 and showed good profits while
copper was quoted at IA cents. The
mines could also be operated on
paying basis with copper at 12 cents,
but the crash came when the Wiscon-
sin mines put down the price of cop
per to cents. Now that copper is SO
high it will be very profitable to mine

Chinese Thrift.

A dollar in the nands of Chinaman
represents far greater purchasing pow
er than it does in the hands of a
European. In China a dollar will ,ur-
chase 1900 pieces of cash composed of
copper and zinc. These cash. with a
hole in the center and strung on
cord, weigh seven pounds. A servant
or common laborer in Peking is glad
to give 10 days Of labor and carpen-
ter or mas six days to secure this
amount of ash. This money would
give conf 'rtable support to an aver
age family. Three dollars month, or
$36 year. would cover the living in
come of Chinese family of the work
