Prosperity of One Nation Conduces
TO That of Others.

London, Dec. 13.--A. J. Balfour, first
lord of the treasury. and government
leader in the House of Commons. re-
ferred TO foreign trade competition last
night while distributing prizes for tech
nical education at Newcross. He said
he was no pessimist on that subject and
that he believed that it was a pro-
found and dangerous fallacy that the
trade successes of other nations were
an injury to British trade. The pros
perity of one nation, he held, conduced
to the prosperity of all. Mr.. Balfour
said: 1--WE shall take care that our
best workmen get the highest remun-

WITHOUT ANY SURVEY.
Mouth of AItamaha and HarbOr of
Brunswick May be Connected.

Brunswick May be Connected.
Capt. Cassius E. Gillette, engineer
officer in charge of river and harbor
improvements in this district, said
yesterday that it is not impossible that
Congress may dispense with a prelim-
mary survey for the proposed inside
waterway connecting the Altamaha
river with Brunswick
Capt. Gillette said that 1t happened
that the geodetic coast survey had
fully covered the ground and that he
had made an inspection himself and
thus assured himself of the entire
feasibility of the project. He feels he
is in a position to give a favorable
report on the project If Congress should
ask for it, as Congressman Brant-
ley is now seeking to have Congress
do.
Only a small outlay will be necessary
to effect the improvement and its ben
eflts and advantages to commerce will
be very great. River steamers Will
thus be enabled to reach Brunswick
without more than five minutes ex-
posture to possible rough weather, as
the passage will then be protected
throughout practically its entire
length.

MINING THE MOST
LEGITIMATE INDUSTRY.
Eastern Man Compares Il With All
Other Callings.


An eastern gentleman who was in Salt
Lake last week seemed particularly in
terested in the mining going on in Utah.
He asked many questions and took a
deep interest in the accounts Of individ-
uals who had made fortunes in the busi-
ness Of mining. At last, after II pause,
he looked up and said: "It seems to
me that mining il about the most legiti.
mate OF industries. In the east we raise
grain and livestock and make wagons
and are engaged in all manner Of work,
but the object, after all, is to get money
for what We do or produce. Why is it
not better to 70 for the money direct?
Then there is another thing. We plant
our wheat and worry all winter to know
whether it will winter-kill or not. Then,
II it escapes the spring frost and the in
sects and there Is promise Of great
crop, we wonder II it will not be no
heavy as to cut down the price. II q
man gets money out Of mine he does
not injure any Of his neighbOrs."
The man had begun to zee things
from the right standpoint. Men are
all struggling for money. No matter
what may be the occupation, the object
il ut last to convert something into mon
ey. All the money that the world pos
sesses has come from the mines. There
is no way to produce it from any other
source.
