In examining the incomes of the
third section, Mr.. Atkinson gave rea-
sons for doubling the trustworthi-
ness of the income tax returns. which
he was unable to accept as a full dis
closure of the position of the people,
and he made his calculations on a
more extended basis. In the result
he put the income of this class as a
whole at "A crores of rupees in 1875,
and at 113 1-3 crores in 1895. Sum-
marizing the three sections, he ar
rived at the conclusion that during
the 20 years under review the aver
age income rose from 29.5 per cent.
that is to say, from 30.5 rupees
per head to 39.5 rupees per head.
Abiding to the wealth of British
India, he discussed the monetary sit
uation and the amount of boards and
ornaments which the people had put
by, and gave an interesting historic
cal survey for the purpose of form
ing an estimate of the stock of pre-
cious metals which the various con-
successive raids, and of the amount
which from time to time had been
imported and allowed to remain in
the hands of the people. He reck-
oncd that the amount of the totals
of the two stores We're, in currency,
in 1876, 146 crores of rupees. rising
to 223 crores in 1900, and under the
second head (hoards and ornaments)
6 crores in 1875, increasing to So
crores in 1895. In one of the numer-
GUS tables supplementary to the pa
per there was set out a balance
sheet of India which seemed to show
that the actual capital wealth, as
distinguished from income, per head
of the population, increased from
703.S rupees in 1875 to 1866 rupees
in 1895, or no less than 4O.2 per
cent. In conclusion, he gave figures
to show the great rise in capital
investments of recent years. In 1875
the amount was POI, 10000 rupees,
in 1894, 530,651 900 rupees, and in
1899 762, 100000 rupees. Mr.. Atkinson
described this increase as a satisfac-
tory indication that the rise in the
exchange value of the rupee had
stimulated the supply of capital, the
greater portion of which came from
England.

INDIA'S GREAT WEALTH.
1t Is Large in the Aggregate, But In
dividuals Are Generally
Very Poor.

At meeting of the Royal Stats
teal society DR.. Ginsburg read a pa
per by Mr.. F. A. Atkinson, giving "a
statistical review of the income and
wealth of British India" After re-
ferring to a remark made by Lord
Curzon in a speech on the Indian
budget for 1901-02, to the effect that
there had been an increase in the
mean income of the inhabitants of
India between 1880 and 1898 of no
less than II per cent, and to a state
ment made by Mr.. w. Digby, who
criticised Lord Curzon's figures and
argued that there had been di-
minution of average income of no
less than 30 per cent. between the
years 1890 and 1900, Mr.. Atkinson dis
cussed the question with the view of
finding out the true facts, reports
the London Times. He said that this
could not be done with any great
eXactitude, because there were no
statistics of cultivation in some parts
of India before 1923, and there
were difficulties in regard to the es-
timated yield.
He divided the population for the
purposes of his survey into three
classes - agricultural, non-agricultu-
raj and those of sufficient or ample
means. Having examined the posi-
ton of the various sections included
in the first class, Mr.. Atkinson came
to the conclusion that the agricultu-
raj income of British India increased
from 26.4 rupees per head in 1875,
to 35.9 rupees per head in 1895, this
being an increase of 1913 per cent.
A similar inquiry, the results of
which were set forth in great detail.
convinced him that the non-agricult-
ural income went up from 2s.6 ru-
pees per head in 1875 to 34.1 rupees
in 1895, or an increase of 1874 per
cent. AS these two classes of per-
sons comprised go per cent. of the
entire population, it might be taken
that the average annual income of
this great mass of people rose 27.3
rupees in 1875 to 35.2 rupees in 1895, an
increase of ESQ per cent.

A SON OE HE KING.

He stood in the palace courtyard, straight
as poplar, and fair
As the golden glow of the sunlight that
shone on the marble there.
With a look of proud disdaining, he saw
at his feet crouched low
An old and fear-struck beggar, bent to
avoid the blow.
Burning with angry passion, the princes
voice rang free:
How cam'st thou here in the courtyard,
where beggars may not be?
'Some suardsman must have nodded,
that thou within shOuld'st slip;
The guard shall rue his folly, and thou
shalt taste the whip
Trembling and painting with terror, the
old man raised his head:
''Yea, strike your blow, he murmered,
what matter if 1 be dead?
''Gone is the Kingdoms glory If thou
can'st do the thing!
Thou the Prince of the people! Thou,
the son of the King!"
The whip fell from his fingers, the Prince
bowed low his head;
He raised upright the aged form, in hum
BILE accents said:
well may the kingdom tremble, when 1
forget and bring
Dishonor on my knighthood and my roy
al sire, the King!
'"Tis well that thou, the humblest, to me
this lesson bring
1 dare not be ignoble, 1 am the son of
the King!"
Long, long ago the palace with age was
darkened gray,
And long the Prince and beggar have
slept the years away.
To US the message cometh still true and
wondrous clear
And stronger grows and sweeter, as year
succeedeth year.
We dare not be ignoble! We must be
true and great!
We dare not be unworthy of our royal
high estate.
Guard, guard Ger word and action, lest
We forget and bring
Dishonor on your knighthood, on your
royal sire, the King.
For know We not your station? Then ask
each living thing,
And hear: ''Ye are Gods children, the
children of the King,"

wound himself from his chair,
walked to the fire, took up live coal
in the tongs, lit his pipe, reseated
himself, crossed one leg over the
other, and having taken a sip of hot
whisky, prepared to commence his
tale.
He was one of six or seven seated
in front of a great open fire in the
kitchen of a smart roadhouse, hardly
to be dignified with the name inn, in
western Missouri. The month was
November; it was dreary, wet,
blowy night, and the rain beat
against the side of the house heavily.
Now and then shutter loosed
from its fastenings, banged ftfully,
almost complainingly, against a win
dow. None of the party moved to
make it fast, however, as the warmth
of the large fire had charms of a
more potent nature
''As l said," continued the long
man, "yOu can explain it as you
choose; l can only tell the story
Landlord"
"The story, the story" chorused
his audience as they drew their chairs
in half circle closer to the fire and
the story teller.
"A friend of mine," began the long
man quietly, ''about year and a
ha.e ago moved himself and family
to y small mining town, where he
was to take charge d. engineer and
superintendent of ans of the lead
mines of the group close by.
after he had been there a short
time there was a call for more hands.
so he purchased large, unoccupied
house in somewhat isolated posi-
ton, the owner of which had died I'M
der suspicious circumstances some
years before, and the house had been
occupied by family after family in
rapid rotation. They said the house
was haunted. For long time it had
remained unoccupied, and the owner
was willing to part with it for a
song.
at had belonged to an old man. ia
cob Garland by name, who lived
there with his wife and one colored
woman named Luenshy.' Luenshy's
real name was found to be Lucretia
Maria Pendleton. The old couple
lived a most retired life and Jacob
Garland was understood to have ac-
cumulated quite a property.
The house was somewhat pre-
tentious one, set back from the road
and surrounded by a good deal of
land. Besides the house there was a
small barn, which, however, was
empty. Directly back of the house,
perhaps an eighth Of mile, was a
graveyard.
THE old man was misery, but no
one knew what he did with his
money, as there was no bank nearby,
and he4 seldom left home, and then
only for short time.

THE MINING FIELD
BOOM IN GRAND CANYON.

A correspondent at Prescott, writing to the Mining Reporter, says; The mining outlook in the neighborhood of the Grand Canyon is taking on bright CT aspect with the starting up of the smelter at Williams. The Anita Min ing company is showing great deal of energy in getting things on the move. The William Geo ge process for the treatment of copper carbonates has been tested and pronounced a sue cess, and Sl1,000 worth of machinery will be put in. This, it is stated. will solve the problem of handling the i'm mense deposits of low grade copper ore in that section. The company ex. poets to have 125 men at work in the near future. The final details of the transfer of the Cameron group to the Pages have been completed and smelter is to be put in. A large amount of money will be expended within the next six months on this group, which carries large bodies of high grade coper ore. Development work has progressed on this group for year past, and reports is that there is half a million dollars worth of ore in sight It is expected that several hundred men will soon be at work in that dis trict.-Ex.

Angels Camp, July 1.-The larg was exploded yesterday at Carson Hill by Moreing & Son, the contractors engaged in building the road bed of the Siera railway In one charge 5000 pounds of powder was fired, and it threw rock and earth into the air for a great height. A big hole was torn in the hill and it will be comparative ly light work to make the required cut through the mountain. This is the last one to be constructed on the ex- tension of the Sierra road from Futile town to Angels camp. The noise of the explosion was heard for miles.
 Mining has never been so active in Mexico as at present. During the past year more than s15.000,000 has been invested by foreign capital, and, it is said, that there is room for hundreds of millions of more as there are vast areas that have not been fully pros pected.
