CHANCES FOR AMERICAN ENTER.
PRISE IN BRAZIL.

a writer in New York paper calls
attention to the tremendous field for
legitimate American enterprise and
capital presented by the Republic of
Brazil. 1t is shown that the possibil-
tiles Of expansion in the way of de-
veloping her natural resources are al.
most limitless and yet her great nat
ural treasures have not as yet tempt.
ed many American investors.
All of which is a reminder of a
still more inexplicable lack OF Ameri-
can enterprise in the matter Of ex-
port trade. Brazil has an area Of g..
2lS,l3O square miles. making her the
biggest republic in the world, barring
the United States. She contains the
mightiest OF rivers. and is the worlds S
principal source of supply of coffee
and rubber.
During the year ending June 80,
1908, we imported from Brazil goods
amounting to 367.216.34s. while the
Brazilians bought OF us goods amount

THE NEUTRALITY OF CHINA.

The success of Secretary Hays
plan for The naturalization of China
now seems completely assured. All
of the neutral powers have given their
assent. and It is reported by the AS
sociated Press correspondents at Tok-
yo and at St Petersburg that the two
bellieerents also will accept 1t.
The reservations made by Russia
concerning her leased territory in Man
chnrla-Port Arthur and Dalny-and
concerning her treaty rights to main
tain order by armed guards along the
line of the Chinese eastern railways,
do not seem TO be detrimental to the
arrangement. Japan's only reserva-
tion. we are told. is the right to conn
terbalance any action of Russia's in
violation of the agreement.
1t does not follow of course that
China inside the great wall is abso-
lutely secured from invasion by one
or the other of the belligerents. but
such invasion becomes highly improb-
able, Each belligerent will know that
II it uses Chinese soil for the purpose
of executing flank movement on the
army of the other, 1t will thereby for
felt the good will of the European
American concert of neutral powers,
That good will is no fiimsy thing to

drift on the Silver Link claim near

The mineral is said to be stephanite.
Years ago. old man Rector. who has
since passed over the range, found
small streak OF stephanite in the
Link. exceedingly rich in silver, which
he mined on a modest scale. packing

months, was in town from that young
bonanza Tuesday. Total force EN-
ployed comprises ten men, who are
