this same mine there is a bed five feet

TO the Germans. One OF the mines of this
region Is already turning out 1000 tons
OK coal every day. and another has pro-
duced coal to the amount Of 100000.
There are other regions in Shantung
that are much better than this, some OF
which the Chinese have been working for
ages. In the mountains Just back OF
Kiaochau there are thousands OF Chinese
mining coal They work twelve hours a
day for from s to 10 cents The mining
is primitive. The coal is dug out with

1t is in sucl. barrows. pulled and pushed

ket Some Of the wheelbarrows have
sails. Only little can be carried on a
barrow. and the freight rates are so heavy
that It costs IS to bring a ton from the
mines to Kiaochau. distance Of seventy
miles, Coal worth Sos ton at the
mines sells for STA ton few mines away.
The Germans are now building a rail-
road to these mines. The roadbed Is al
most completed and the cars are on the
way. As SOON as the conditions become
settled II will be put into operation and
this coal will have an outlet to the sea.

5000 miles long and 1t almost bisects
China. The biggest ocean steamers can
sail up II into China as. far as New York
Is distant from Chicago. and with its
tributaries 1t furnishes more than IL, 900
miles Of navigable waterways. There are
vast coal deposits. which could easily be
made accessible to the Yangtsekiang.
This is so OF the Shansi coal beds, which
/ describe further ON. They are the great
est In China, and a short railway will
bring them to the Han river. which flows
into the Yangtsekiang at Hankow. The
mines OF Yunnan are not far from the
upper Yangtse. and there are coal beds
all along the Yangtse valley. l am told
they are to be found near Marking, Han
kow and from Chinkiang to the borders
OF Thibet.
Mrs Bishop visited coal mine In Sich-
uen on the Yangtse. about 1000 miles back
from the sea. She says the seam was
four feet thick and was OF hard blum
inous nature. II was reached by tunnel
six feet long. In which was a wooden
tramway, and the coal was carried out
I'm baskets on wheels. The mine was
worked day Ind night In shifts of twelve
hours. the miners being paid IA cents
day. with an allowance OF three meals Of
rice. The coal costs about 20 cents ton
in labor. and a short distance away from
the mines II was selling for SIS ton.
In the upper Yangtse. near Suchan.
there are coal mines In the side of a elm,
which have been opened by galleries hung
from the top with ropes Of plated barn

both along the Yangtse and in other parts
OF China. One of the greatest troubles Is
water. The Chinese have no good pumps.
ana as soon as the water comes into the
mines they leave them. Shafts are seldom
put down more than 200 feet
In Shantung the experiment of trying
modern pumps was attempted. The pumps
We're ordered from England and were
brought into the coal regions at great
cost. They were allowed to lie there and
rust until thieves had stolen many OF the
parts. Then an engineer was brought
from Shanghai to put them up, but was
unable to do so.
The old American firm Of Russell & Co..
when they owned the steamers on the
Yangtse, got all their coal from Kukiang.
There was an explosion from fire damp.

Another instance of Chinese superstt-

long ago new mining engineer from Lon
don was brought to take charge OF them.
He went through the mines and was sur
prised to find large block of the best
coakin the center of one of them He
asked why II had not been taken out. ana
was told that II was the home OF a water
demon. Upon inquiry he found THAI the
former engineer had left II partly To
please the Chinese directors and partly
because he thought there might be some
thing In the theory.
The new man said: Hang the water
demon. Let's get out the coal" The Chi
nese stfil protested. but as he insisted they
