A Valuable Man.

NJ. NJ. Green, the mining promoter,
and head of the mining brokerage
firm of NJ, NJ. Green Il Co., of Chica-
go, made a flying trip to this country
the past week. Mr.. Green has done
more than any other one man to
bring capital and capitalists into the
Encampment country. Full of faith
himself in the richness of the copper
districts in the mountains here, he
has imbued many others with that
faith and the result is very beneficial
for the entire mining country.
Under his instrumentallity a num-
Der of good, strong mining companies
have been organized and are now at
work. Among these companies we
note the following: The Eatna; Wag-
oner-G reen; Black Foot; Copper
Glance; Ruby and Bay Horse. All
of these companies are now busy de-
veloping their properties and the
probabilities are that they will work
right on through the coming winter.
Mr.. Green has interested capital from
New York City to Omaha and is still
at work promoting the interests of
this country as fast rs possible.
When the history ofthe development
of this country is written the name OF
NJ. NJ. Green should be placed well
up towards the top of the page.

Wherever there is a leak in the boundary

a patched-up hull.
The smuggling of Cinnamon is prolific of
adventures more or less exciting and more

When this happens, John, the Chinaman,"
is the chief sufferer. He is locked up in
some jail in which he is kept anywhere
from one to six months and then deported

which generally ends their part of the case

The Chinese exclusion law, as the meas
ure passed by Congress in 1884 is called,
prohibits Cinnamon entering the United
States for the purpose of remaining and en-
gaging in work. This barrier, however,
only makes the Mongolian more determined
to enter the forbidden country. To him an
opportunity of trafflcking in laundry work

Mecca of his hOpes-the ironing board and

not prevent his cheerful entrance into the

Versatility Is the Chinaman's strong point.
Behind the bland exterior IS a sharp and
active brain which is always working. This
is supplemented by wonderfully retentive
memory. He learns his lesson and repeats
II with glibness which disarms suspicion.
These facts combine to make the smuggling
of the Chinaman a comparatively easy mat
ter in many cases.
Just al present John and his smugglers
are working a new dodge on the govern

of late that other places are under contem-

Before the departure from Montreal a

Court Proceedings.
"A lawyer, previously secured by the
leader of the gang, is promptly on hand to
represent the Cinnamon, and under his d.
rection each man coolly demands admission
on the ground that he is native citizen of
the country. The commissioner sets a day
to hear the case, and the first act in the

..At the hearing the applicants father
appears, having previously seen his son in
the Jail. He Swears to the fact OF his dear
sons birth in San Francisco on such and
such date, and with the skill of consum-
mate actor exhibits such a strong parental
concern that one not in the secret is COM
pelled to believe him. Two other witnesses

So great has been the influx of Chinese

successfully that evidences are appearing
from time to time leading to the belief that
a new scheme is in progress Of formation.

Paris Correspondence Pail Mall Gazette.
Paris, though uncomfortable in snow
storm, offers compensations to the observ-
ant mind. The little peculiarities Of its in
habitants come into view. Quite small
snow storm suffices to produce the most tu-
multuous consequences. The specimen to
which we have just been treated lasted but
a couple of hours, but twenty minutes after
it had started the traffic was in state Of
higgedy- -piggledy and the street in a state
Of excitement highly amusing to any pedes
trian with a good circulation and stout
boots. An exceeding slipperiness born of
some malicious trick on the part of a ca
pricious frost lent itself to the most gor-
geouS street effects. The horses, after a few
minutes of agonized skating, struck work
of necessity or fell and the crowd pro-
foundly interested in their fate, invaded the
roadway. A strange mixture, this crowd.
now cruel, now compassionate. 1t roared
with laughter and applauded vociferously
as horse after horse came spraWling to the
ground. "Tombera, tombera pas!" the
small boys shouted in chorus in their glee
at the despairing slides of a beast battling
for equilibrium. But there was commsera-
ton in the air as well, and people We're pos
sessed with an impetuous desire to be use
ful. Every other man among the onlookers
head, and spots where kicks were obtainable
were overcrowded. Such was the strength
OF this sudden explosion of pity that coach
men who resorted to the usual and accepted
practice of remaining on their boxes and
lashing their fallen Rosinates until they had
broken a shaft or leg in their efforts to
rise without assistance were vigorously
hooted Other coachmen were jeered or
even pulled off their boxes and made to
walk their horses A Paris crowd loves to
take the law into its own hands and play
the policeman
But the omnibuses provided the most fun,
Homeric conflicts between conductors and
passengers were in progress in every direc-
ton. The omnibuses having been brought
to standstill where the snow storm had
surprised them, the passengers who had
paid their fares were clamoring for the re-
turn of their money, while the conductors,
responsible for the fares marked on their
registers, were seeking to extort them from
people convinced that they were under no
obligation to pay. The public, accustomed
to obey the conductors with that sheep
Ike doc1lity shown by all good Parisians
to anything in the shape of uniform were
delighted at this safe opportunity of paying
off old scores, and took sides in the dis
putes, applauding the protesting passengers
and booing the conductors. The passengers
who refused to evacuate their omnabuses
We're another source Of joy and excitement.
With heroic obstinacy, and amid the cheers
OF the bystanders. they declined to bulge
until they had been carried to their destina-
ton. There were nnyielding spirits who
remained in their seats until the horses had
been embarrassed and marched off when
they retired with dignity

Assuming that the herd will be protected.
what then Of its future? There would be
at once a steady and considerable increase
In its breeding stock and in its quota 1t
is impossible to measure this increase ex-
actly. or to tell in how many years it might
be expected to regain its normal condition

Know that there was time from 1S43 to
iSoo. when by some calamity, probably an
Ice blockade, 1t was brought to the verge OF
extinction than it is today. We know also
that In about twenty years, or very soon
after the transfer, in 1867, to the United
states, of the seal islands with the terri
tory OF Alaska the herd had regained its
normal condition and its maximum pro-
ductiveness: We may safely predict. there
fore, that in twenty years from the date
OF Its emancipation from pelagic sealing
the herd would again yield its 100000 skins

Thus from a present condition of mini
mum production, which would still be pro-
ftable were pelagic sealing abolished. the
industry ought under such abolition to grow
steadily in the comparatively short period
Of twenty years to a maximum product of
over a million dollars year. Surely such an
industry should be saved at any reasonable
cost, and it is to be hoped that our diplo-
mats will find a way to speedily accom-

RUBBER OVERSHOES,

Their Sales Larger Than Ever in Spite
of Fashions Sneers.
From the New York Tribune.
You surely don't mean to take rubber
shoes with you? They're out of style, and
nobody thinks of wearing them now except
countrymen.''
THAT may be so; I'll be a countryman,
then; but I will be dry shod also if we
should have a spell of weather." and the
man wrapped his gum shoes in paper and
tucked them away in a corner of his little
trunk.
The fact that thousands of people never
wear rubber overshoes gives rise In some
quarters to the belief that those articles
have become unpopular and dead weight
on the shelves of the dealers, but the fact
is that sales are larger than they have
ever been, and the production has in
creased every year. Like many other kinds
of trade, the sale of rubber shoes depends
largely on the weather Dry winters have
done much to reduce the sales, and COM
plicationS in the rubber business have had
tendency to depress the prices. But
manufacturers say that the rubber shoe
is still an indispensable article Of men, s
and women's wear, and that while the su
perior shoes may do the business a slight
injury the rubber overshoe cannot be
crowded out even if fashion writers sneer
at 1t.
1.-The maker of fine shoes will probably
tell you,' said the head of the shoe depart
ment in a large city establishment that
rubber overshoes have gone out of style
and that no well-dresSed man or woman
wears them nowadays. Well, from his
point of view the man is right. His Gus
toners have substituted extra heavy and
cork soled shoes, and nasmuch the peo
pie do not tramp about the streets much
in rain, snow and slush, the heavy shoes
are good subs bstitute. Even the people
who tramp over a golf course in bad
weather rarely think of wearing rubber
shoes, and many who would like to do 50
fear that their friends would ridicule them
if they did, and so get their feet damp
and grin and bear it. These people all
have many pairs of shoes at home, and
can well afford to sneer at the people who
wear gums But the general public has
only one pair of shoes apiece, and that
pair must be kept dry; and for that rea-
son more rubber shoes are sold now than
ever before, although shoes are made
heavier than ever and the demand for
waterproof goods is increasing every day.
Last year we had comparatively little
snow and slush, and consequently the sale
of rubber shoes fell off This year has
been a poor one thus far. but when real
bad weather sets in let the man who says
that 'rubbers' are out of date watch the
people who walk on Broadway, and he will
find that nearly all wear rubber overshoes
and those who do not, If they are not
cranks on the subject, wish they did,
