SOUTH AFRICAN GOLD MINES.

1t is probable that the gold mines
in South Africa will be worked to their
fullest capacity just as soon as they
can be thoroughly equipped with the
necessary machinery. Doubtless much
of the machinery became impaired dur
ing the war and it may be that
great deal of it is out of date. The
mines are very rich. Their output
during the first half of the year in
which the war began was something
like $50, 000, 900. 1t may be reasonably
expected, therefore, that as much as
$500 900, 900 in gold year will be added
to the worlds supply of that metal
from what are known as the Rand
mines.
1t is roughly estimated that it cost
Great Britain $1,000, 0O0.0 900 and $4,000
lives to conquer the Beers. 1t is known
that $4,000 of her soldiers were killed
and $4,000 wounded and invaded.
That was a fearful price to pay for
the domination of the two republics,
but if the money cost were the only
thing to be considered the Rand
mines will come near paying the bill,
provided they prove to be as rich as
they are believed to be. OF course,
they are not owned by Great Britain.
but the benefits which she will indi-
rectly receive from them will be i'm
mense.
In fact, the entire world will be ben
Gifted by this additional supply of gold
Prices will advance and there will be
increased activity in all kinds of bust
ness. No doubt much of the present
prosperity is due to the increase in
the worlds output of gold, which, last
year, was greater than in any previous
one. With the addition of the output
from the Rand mines there will be
such an abundance of money that all
sorts of enterprises will be undertaken.
In this country at the present time it
is difficult to find profitable invest
ments for all of the money that is be-
ing offered. One of our consuls in
Mexico said recently, in report. that
as much as 500, 900, 900 year from the
United States was being invested in
the northern part of that country.

FINANCIERs ALARMED.

1t is said that Wall street is great
| ly stirred up over the power exerted
| by J. Pierpont Morgan in the world of
finance and the great number of prop
critics which are under his control. 1t
is afraid that something might hap
pen to him-that he might die sudden
Iy or become incapacitated for the
management of his affairs-and that
then there would be troublous times in
the money and security markets. What
they are afraid of is that if the gil
gantic Morgan interests should receive
a setback from any cause other sim
liar interests would be affected, and
that there would be a panic in New
York and other great financial CEN
ters.
1t is said that a pamphlet has been
issued by about fifty of the leading
Wall street men setting forth this con-
dition of affairs. The pamphlet is the
by them. 1t is not their purpose to at
tack Mr.. Morgan. They simply want
it understood that in their opinion the
interests conferred in his banking firm
are too vast, and that steps should be
taken to induce him to cease merging
properties and taking control of them.
1t does not seem to be the intention
of those who are moving in this mat
ter to undertake to strip Mr.. Morgan
of any of the power he now has,
though, if the truth were known, it
would, in all probability, appear that
what is desired is that Mr.. Morgan
shall practically cease business. There
is of course no probability that he will
do anything of the kind.
He is too much interested in merging
great properties and making money by
doing so to cease his activity as long
as he meets with success. If he re-
fuses to be influenced by the financ-
iers who have undertaken to warn him
in a mild way that he has become as
powerful as Wall street cares to have
him, means may be adopted to COM
pei him to heed the warning.
The immediate occasion of this
to be the strike in the anthracite coal
region. If that strike continues a. long
time certain great interests are bound
to be badly crippled-railroad and in
dustrial interests. Most of the inter
ests are so connected that injury to
one is likely to cause a loss of con-
fldence in another. 1t is evident there
fore that a financial panic might be
brought about easily and quickly.
1t is the understanding that Mr..
Morgan has been advised of the situa-
ton His answer is no doubt awaited
with considerable anxiety.

A New York PanhandIer.

A battered-looking "panhandler" had
run of luck on Tuesday evening on
Park Row, until he incautiously tried
to touch" a newspaper man whom he
did not recognize, says the New York
Post. The fellow is an "old-timer,"
who on occasion initiates the rolling
gait of a sailor. Bringing this accom-
plishment into play, he posed as one
of the survivors of the Roraima who
had been brought to this port by the
Korona, and pitiful was his tale, in
confirmation of which he showed a
partly healed wound on his face.
You're a fraud" exclaimed the
disaster need walk around New York
begging, and that's an old scar you
have opened for the occasion. Last
time l saw you. you said you got that
wound in the tunnel explosion. Now
I'm going to give you over to the po-
lice"
The man began to beg off, and the
other promised to let him go if he'd tell
how much he had collected by his tale
and would get out of town.
''Honest?' asked the beggar.
Honest" was the reply. and the fell
low drew out a handful of coins and
some bills and counted up S14.7O.

and, thrusting the money in his pocket,
he darted in front of a car and disap-
peared in the crowd
