in the next ninety days two more
mines will be added to the present list
of producing Lake Superior copper
properties. The first will be the
Ahmeek. On or about July l the
Centennial will begin production, with
one head, at the Arcadian mill, Crosse
Point.
The new shaft of the Allouez is $50
feet in depth, and should cut the
Kearsarge bed in few months.
Judged by the developments both
north and south, the Allouez should
find the Kearsarge bed we'll mineral
lied and make a good mine thereon.
The Calumet and Hecla has begun
prosecuting from No. 20 shaft. This
is the newest of the two shafts on the
Kearsarge lode, and the crosscut is
being sent westward to cut the lode.
When the bed is located an upraise
to surface, at the proper angle Of dip,
will MAKE a new and permanent No.
20 shaft. No. 10, the north shaft on
the Kearsarge bed, is drifting, and
shows excellent ground.
The fourth level of the Champion
mine lacks but $40 feet of being a
full mile in length.

Amid all the excitement of various
uprisings, Of the Japan-China War
American interests have not lost
ground. On one occasion, at least,
the Korean Emperor sought to come
to the American Legation for protec-
ton at a time when several foreign
ambassadors would have done any
thing to have obtained his majesty's
person; but he was kindly but firmly
refused the necessary permission.
Nothing would have been gained to
Americans best interests by having
the possession of the King, and a
thousand dangers would have been
run. The Emperor leads a haunted
life, sleeping in day time, when all the
worlds awake, and holding his cabi-
ent meetings and doing all his BUSH
ness by night. He has deserted the
old palace in the native portion of the
city, and lives in a straw-thatched
barn Of a building in a frog pond in
the legations in case of trouble.
From any point of view, America
must be greatly interested in and con-
nected with the future of Korea.

Korean language as any other nation

to do good, and they did good and

The first chapter of modern Korean
history ended with the outbreak OF the
Japan-China War. Korea had NOM
inally belonged to China UP to this
time: though the Catholic missionaries
had been in Korea almost since the
Puritans landed at Plymouth Rock,
France had sought no political power
in the government. The Royal Hos
pital had been founded through DR..
ALIENS influence. At the close OF the
war Korea became free from outsiders
and spoil for her own robber princes.
Being free, Korea had the right 10
grant foreign concessions. Various par
ties sought these vigorously, but I'M
successfully; for in almost every IN
stance, there seemed to be an Interior
political motive in view. Horace AL

sador to Korea, and IL was plain that
