CHEAP STATUETTES.
HOW THEY ARE MADE, HARDENED,
FINISHED AND COLORED.

Italians From Tuscany Excel tho
World In Their Production-The
Demand For These Casts That
Comes From Our Schools.
While 1t is not difficult to secure good
American workmen for carrying out
schemes of interior decorations, it is
impossible yet to get native born msn
capable of modelling statuettes and
busts such as are sold on the street
corners and in many Of the art shops.
All the workmen employed in factories
that produce these are Italians, chiefly
from Tuscany. This is equally true Of
those who follow this trade in Ger
many and France. The Tuscans ap-
pear to have a natural ability for that
sort of work that has given them the
monopoly Of it.
The great majority of these busts and
statuettes are copied directly from the
originals wherever they happen to be,
and then the molds are made from that
copy and sent to all parts of the world,
the statues being cast in the place
where they are to be sold. In the lar.
ger shops in New York city, however,
certain amount Of original work Is
done in order to keep pace with the
popular demand for representations Of
the hero Of the hour. A great many Of
our most distinguished poets, authors
and statesmen whose busts are exposed
for sale on the street corners never sat
for these portraits. Some workman
modelled the head after Il photograph
and occasionally has produced such
good work that it is almost q pity the
sculptor's name should remain I'M
known.
The chief purchasers Of these casts
from the larger makers are the high
schools all over the country. They de-
mand, Of course, not only classical sub
jects and copies Of ancient bas-reliefs
and architectural details, but also busts
Of famous men and women from every
period Of the worlds history. Such
wide range of subjects is covered by
this demand that seven and eight thou
sand titles are included In some of the
catalogues issued. The factories where
these figures are turned out exhibit In
their shOwrOoms an assortment and
confusion Of time, place and nature be-
wildering to look at.
The process of casting these statu-
cites is a comparatively simple one
when the mold Is once completed. The
material used, plaster of paris, is
cheap, and very excellent quality is
produced in this country. When the
statuette comes out, it is pure white
and covered with ridges made by the
different sections Of the mold. These
ridges are carefully removed, and then
the cast is placed in an oven heated at
about 1870 degrees. After it has been
baked for certin length of time it is
plunged into a solution Of stearic acid
and kept there until thoroughly satu-
rated. Then, when it has dried, the
yellow color Is gained by applying to
the surface a solution Of beeswax. tnr-

The statuettes which are carried
about the streets wrapped in harmoui.
GUS yellow tissue paper or are display
ed on the sidewalks or on the steps Of
unoccupied houses are made by quite
Il different set Of manufacturers. The
larger dealers do not sell to these street
peddlers at all. The peddlers have their
own little workrooms, which furnish
them with their stock at a much lower
rate than the regular dealers charge.
No originals are made in these ateliers,
and most Of the molds are gained by
taking them from cast bought from
some other firm. The stearic acid bath
Is let OUT of the process, and conse-
quently the color of these cheaper
works washes off.
The peddlers of these statuettes stand
in about the same relation to sculptors
and sculpture that the hand organ play
ers do to music and musicians. They
reflect fairly accurately the popular
taste, and, according to their testf

THE petitions being sent in to
Congress asking that the Chinese
exclusion act be re-enacted are
opening the eyes of the people of
the East to the fact that we of the
West are no more fond of the
Monaghan now than we were
twenty years ago. In fact, people
of the West should be more op-
posed to Chinese immigration now
than they were then, as there is
not the chance to secure work in
the West now as there was then.
The bill for the re-enactment of
the laws should be closely watched,
however, for the Chinese are un-
derstood to be raising a corruption
fund of vast proportions to be
used in aid of their cause. 1t has
been asserted that they already
have bureau established for the
handling of this fund and high
priced lobbyists employed to defeat
the re-en actment of the law. 1t
is also stated that every Monaghan
in the United States has been as
sessed one dollar as his contribu-
ton to the fund.
1t may seem strange to some
that persons can be found who
will prostitute their abilities to the
extent of lobbying for a Chinese
measure, but money will hire them
to do it, the Chinese know it, and
they will not be stingy with the
cash on an occasion of this kind.
because it means a great deal to
them.
Every lobor organization in the
land should watch closely the ac-
tons of the members of Congress
from its State, and those who op-
pose the re-enaction of the law
should have their names preserved
in alcohol for future consideration
by the laboring people of this
country.

THE Bluestone mine was closed

ty.
We do not know where the two
above items originated, but they
have been going the rounds of the
State press for the past week, and
are damnable lies. From the time
the Excelsior Company closed the
Bluestone smelter, last August, the
outside press seems to have deter
mined to give this property black
eve. Columns of stuff have been
published which have contained
not the slightest particle of truth,
and the lying has become so gen
eral that one is almost led to be-
lieve that there is concert of act
ion by outsiders, and possibly some
insiders to injure this camp. No
such items as the two above cited
ever appeared in the TIMES, but
we have published the facts in re-
gard to the Bluestone and other
mining prospects in this section,
and if our exchanges would look
over our columns they would not
get so horribly twisted up on min
ing news from this section. 1t
makes no difference to us whether
you credit us with the information
or not, just so long as you publish
the items as we produce them
then they will be correct and not
exaggerated. To show how far
the two above items are out of the
way we will inform our ex-
changes that there are now thirty
men employed in the Bluestone
mine; from fifteen to thirty men
have been employed for months
past, in fact the mine has never
been closed down since it started
up, and the present force of men
will be kept on for some time to
come, and probably increased.

people for many years. There
may be some things in the mes
sage that are not acceptable to
many Nevadans, in that the Presi-
dent stands by the gold standard
policy. Outside of his stand on
this question the President has
shown that he understands what
the West wants and is friendly
to her interests. He is all right
on the Chinese exclusion question,
perfectly square on irrigation for
the arid region, in favor of the

vors the curtailment of the trusts,

would please us to present the
message in full to our readers but
it is out of the question. Suffic-
lent is to say that the people of
the West have better friend in
the White House, in President
Roosevelt, than they have had
there for long years past.
