- HERE is an objection to
IS 1 the Chinese coming into
$eeee$ this country. Why? 1
give below the reasons.
The paragraphs in quotation
marks are those by my imaginary
disputant. The comments are
mine:
''They are heather. They have
no religion"
Does the constitution of this
country discriminate against
man because of his religion or
does it not?
'They are ignorant"
That statement is false. I
never saw a Chinaman who could
not read and write his own Ian
guage.
"They wear most cu-ree-ous
looking clothes. They wear their
shirts outside their trousers.
[ suppose after we get them
"civilized" we will teach them how
to wear high collars and toothpick
shoes and plug hats and swallow
tailed coats.
'They smoke opium"
We will cure them of that. We
will teach them how to smoke
cigarettes and vile smelling clay
pipes and how to drink rotgut
whisky and "chaw terbacker" and
gobble snuff.
''They are unclean.'
Fudge!
''They are not good soldiers.
They have no patriotism
Well make soldiers of them,
and teach them how to carry a big
swore-ed and tromp up and daown
giving orders in kind of a ha'ash
peart voice, pounding a lot of
greasy drums while they sing the
''Bar Spangled Stanner."
"They work for nothing"
That's their affair is it not?
What is that to you or [? For
goodness sake don't stop anyone
from working. There are too
many lazy people now.
In conclusion I wish to say that
I never saw a Chinaman who was
drunk; never saw one out of a job
or on the tramp; never saw one in
a fight; nor did I ever see one who
did not produce far more wealth
for the country than he ever took
out. In my opinion they are a
frugal, sober, industrious, peace
able class of immigrants who
should be admitted. 1854.

~ ~ ~ been relocated. Inls
mine was first discovered
lin 1869 and reported at that time
ito be the most valuable discovery
of gold in America. The lucky
finders of this fabulous wealth
came oat of the mountains to Fort
Fetterman and after astonishing
7the experts at the fort with their
uich specimens of free milling ore,
they purchased supplies and went
back to their mine. From that
day to this no further trace OF
these prospectors has ever been
found. nor until lately has anyone
ever succeeded in relocating their
claim. If recent reports are true
which is very doubtful-nature
has at last given up the secret so
long jealousy guarded.
In the western mining camps
one hears many strange tales OF
aost mines and the fabulous wealth
they contained. Some of these
yarns are so old that, they have
been dignified into legends and
those who have prospected away
from the beaten paths, far into the
Businesses of the Rockies, know
there is much that is weird and
uncanny about the deep canons.
and hidden crevices of the range.
In the spring of '89 I was work.
ing in the "Gold Dollar" mine in
Boulder county, Colorado. I was
-aon the might shift" and conse-
quently had the afternoons to de-
vote to anything 1 wished, SO in
course of time I became acquaint-
ed with nearly everybody about
the camp. It was my practice to
zspend a half hour or 80 at the
power house every afternoon
chatting with the engineer. He
was man capable of filling a
much better position, but he told
me he considered his present work
=as only a temporarily makeshift
and that when he had saved suf-
1icient money he was going to
search for the lost Cooper Pick"
mine. He had made a previous
attempt to discover this lost mine,
fbut had failed through lack of
funds. Bars earnest talk about
T, the Copper Pick" interested me,
for 1 had heard something of the
story before and had seen the ia
nous copper pick at the museum
: in Denver. Many had tried to
relocate this mine but none ever
succeeded, and even the prospector
who brought back the famous
copper pick could never give any
definite idea of the location of the
mine. Antiquarians said that the
pick was relic of prehistoric man
and had sent several scientific ex-
peditions in search of the mine,
but no trace of the lost mine was
lever discovered by them.
Barr had a map of the district
an which the mine was supposed
ITO be located. It was a rudely
drawn affair but he kept it locked
in a box he had made especially
for it and never allowed the box
to be out of his sight. We
"joshed'' him about it but he only
smiled and said some day he would
find that Cooper Pick" mine. I
was not surprised when he asked
me to 60 into the scheme with
him. | consented, and we took
another man named Kane into the
enterprise. Barr then told us a
tale that astonished me and made
Kane whistle with surprise. He
showed us the map which roughly
depicted the country beyond Wag-
:gon Wheel Gap, but the exact
location of the mine was not given.
This was a matter of small conse-
4uuence to a veteran like Kane.

noticed that one corner Of it was
split, and after calling Bars at
tentlon to this popularity he took
hold of each end and easily pulled
the two pieces apart. To our sur
prise another and more legible
map was drawn on the inside fold.
We eagerly scanned it and it
showed the location of the "Cop-
per Pick" mine to be at about
where we stood. The other map
had been fastened over the inside
drawing purposely to conceal the
location of the mine.
The next morning we went up
the ''dry draw and tried to reach
the tunnel, but could find no way
to gain access to it from below.
Kane then proposed plan that
appeared feasible. We retraced
our steps to the head of the stream
and from there easily reached the
summit of the cliff above the tun-
mel. Then we tied our pack ropes
together and making fast to them
a fifty foot line we had for picket
ing the burros saw that the end of
our string reached below the
mouth of the tunnel. It was de-
cided that as I was the lightest in
weight [ should go down. I
rugged a swing and was lowered
down the face of the cliff. Upon
reaching the opening I easily
swung myself in and found foot
ing without much trouble. A
peculiar rumbling, tinkling sound
issued from the tunnel and I was
at a loss to account for it. Light
ing a candle, I made my way
cautiously back into the tunnel
and after going a few yards 1
stumbled over something upon the
floor. Looking for the cause I
perceived some mining tools lying
at my feet, and picking one of
them up 1 was struck by it's pecu-
liar color. I scraped the side of it
with my pocket knife and found
that it was made of copper. Strik-
ing the side of the tunnel with it,
the tool rang like steel. AS [
went farther into the tunnel the
rumbling increased and I could
distinctly hear the splashing of a
large volume of water. [ shaded
the light with my hands and
peared into the darkness. The
floor Of the tunnel broke off alb
ruptly some ten feet ahead of me.
Dropping to my knees, | crawled
to the edge and looking down

made my way to the rope and
was hoisted to the summit, where
I found my companions eagerly
awaiting my report. told them
the facts and we then made our
way back to camp and after a
meal we discussed the situation.
Kane said we could accomplish
nothing by looking for the vein of
quartz the tunnel followed and
Barr argued the point with him,
while l held to the opinion that
we would be no worse off after
three or four days prospecting; but
they overruled my opinion and the
next morning we broke camp and
took the homeward track. The
copper tools belonging to those
prehistoric miners were left be-
hind in the tunnel, nobody having
volunteered to descend after them.

lost mine if anyone could. So we
drew our wages and started with
great deal of chaf and joshing
from the camp.
Within a week we we're in the
vicinity Of Wagon Wheel Gap,
we'll equipped for our search. The
mountains beyond the Gap are
peculiar in shape, resembling the
Hole In The Wall district of idaho.
They are much broken by deep
canons and in some places the
strata is so broken and eccentric
as to be bewildering.
We followed the trail indicated
on the map for two days, but on
the third day found it impossible
to proceed any farther without
more reliable information. Pitch
ing camp we held counsel. Barr
was for going on as we were, but
Kane admonished and argued,
saying that we had better estab-
lish camp and leave one man
with the supplies while the other
two pushed ahead andgained some
idea of the country in advance of
us. To this we agreed and [ was
left to care for the outfit while
Barr and Kane went ahead.
They we're away by daylight the
next morning and were to return
before night. After they had
gone 1 began to explore the i'm
mediate vicinity of the camp. We
had selected the intersection of
two gulches for our camping place;
a small stream flowed down the
gulch at the right, while the other
defile was a "dry draw" This ra-
vine was quite narrow and had an
artificial look about it. I was i'm
pressed the evening before by this
artificiality, but one sees some
queer formations in the Rockies
and l gave it little attention. But
now, with nothing to occupy my
mind, [ strolled a short distance
up the draw and examined it more
closely. The peculiar face of the
side to the right attracted my
attention; it was almost perpen-
dicular and was fully one hundred
feet in height. About halfway up
there appeared to be an opening
in the rock. From where I stood
l could not see very distinctly, so
I crossed to the other side and
managed to climb halfway up it's
side. At this elevation l could
plainly see the opening. It was
evidently the mouth of some aban-
doned mine and no haphazard
freak of nature. l went further
up the cliff until [ stood directly
opposite the opening, which was
now straight across the ravine
from me, and was without doubt
the tunnel of an abandoned mine.
{ looked about for some way of
ascending to it, but there appeared
no other way than to reach it from
above by means of a rope. Per-
haps this was the lost mine.
I waited with impotence for my
two companions to return, and
they came back shortly after noon
with the report that the trail was
impossible before us. Even the
stream that flowed past the camp,
and which they had followed, dis
appeared into the earth in that
mysterious manner some water
courses have in the southwest.
When [ told them of my find
Barr secuted the idea and Kane
was inclined to be sceptical. After
the supper was eaten we began
discussing the situation. Barr
had the map in his hand standing
somewhat apart from Kane and I
Suddenly we were startled by the
weird, plaintive cry of a mountain
lion. Barr dropped the map. Az

pate any and all eventualities.
Many recent happenings have
brought to night instances in which
the most important enactments in
constitutions and laws, both fed
eral and state, are imperative and
valueless.
The measures passed by the
Cuban congress recently, but SUBJ
sequently vetoed by President
Palma, called attention to a state.
of affairs that might very probably
have happened and which had to
q certain extent been foreseen by
some of our Legislators. What is
known as the Platt amendment
was incorporated in the original
act to meet this contingency, but
it now transpires that no provision
has been made for it's enforcement.
President Roosevelt meets with an
accident which comes within an
ace of being fatal one and
speculation is rife as to what
would have happened if it had
been. It then appears that no
sufficient directions have been
given in the constitution to en-
force the election Of a successor.
An alleged occasion arises to put
in operation the federal antitrust
act and we are confronted at once
with all kinds of obstacles to its
even partial enforcement. The
strike of anthracite coal miners in
Pennsylvania, after causing un-
told distress to thousands, brings
public clamor for a compulsory
arbitration act and the governor
begins to talk about calling an
extra session of the Legislature to
deal with this. If we examine the
Pennsylvania code we find that an
arbitration law was passed years
ago, but what happens when the
arbitrators are appointed? They
may sit and twiddle their thumbs
and look as wise as they know
how and for as long as they like,
but this does not bring before
them the books and witnesses they
need to examine and they have
not power to issue process.
Hundreds of similar instances
might be quoted, most of which
would be found to cause great un-
certainty and many difficulties in
various business undertakings, but
the most glazing one of all is
being shown up almost weekly in
the lack Of any and all means pos
sessed by the government of the
United States to protect it's own
citizens and visiting foreigners
from mob violence or lynch law.
The Baker City episode in
which three Cinnamon were shot
and some forty odd more forcibly
driven from their homes and live
lihood shows this nation in the
decidedly unenviabie light of
being false to it's most solemn
pledges; for not only is protection
guaranteed to all persons by the
constitution, but so far as China
men are concerned it is specially
covered by treaty with their
government, and we do not need
to put very heavy strain on our
memories to recall the view taken
by the .. S. government of the
rights involved in that treaty on a
previous occasion when there was
a transportation of aggressors and
aggrieved.
For strong contrast let us turn
to that delightfully."- flexible and
elastic doctrine-if we may prop
erly term anything doctrine
which has never yet been fully
enunciated bearing the name of
Monroe. It would seem that in
order to meet the views Of the

over human hearts is wonderful, as
measured by human standards.
Thousands of rescued lives all over
the United States are giving the
gratitude of their best manhood for
better, truer living, because she
lifted them up. Her cottages at
Colorado Springs are filed with
needy ones to whom she has given

Grated lives whom she has won to
work for souls in need Ip our own
city her power has been felt, as she
talked to the boys in the jail as if
they were her very own. as she told
of the great call for rescue work in

into personal touch with hungry
souls everywhere, and plead for
consecrated workers. Mrs. Lake
