Jananese marched to the gates of Pekin and
placed hoary, terrified China, or at least that
part which was touched by the war, at their
mercy, Russia, backed by Germany and France,
stepped in and said to Japan: You must leave
China. You must leave Korea. You must keep
within bounds; Japan had nothing else to do
than to accept the inevitable. For had not the
appeal to Roseberry been in vain? England
failed to see the ebay of her merciful visitation"
and allowed a hostile race to occupy the territory
which might have remained in friendly hands had
there been at England's helm a man instead of
Roseberry.
But the japanese, famed for their diplomacy,
exacted from Russia a promise to evacuate Man
churia by October 8, 1908. Russian occupancy of
Korea meant not only the impossibility of a free
hand for Japan in Korea, but a possible Russian

THE RUssoJAPANEsE DISPUTE.
A Matter Of Much Moment to Many Nations, to the
Cause of Civilization, and to the Religious World.

We present to our readers this week, on our
front page, a map of that section of the world
which probably will be the great battle ground
of nations. From that battle ground, if battle
ground it must be, will spring the harvests for
which the granaries of Christian civilization
have been waiting during the long centuries.
So it is entirely appropriate and natural that
the eyes, not only of the civic, but of the religi-
Gus world should rest intently and anxiously on
that portion of the Orient which we present to
our readers in this issue.

Tonopah-B

A letter from f. II. Lathrop to
the general offices of the Tonopah.
Belcher mining company in this city
informs them that awaiting t~ranspor.
tation owe the new road from the
road from the company's mines out
of Tonopah, New, are now seven AR
loads Of first-class ore running well
up in silver and lead, with character
lstic values in gold, the big consign-
ment to reach the shelters OF this
valley as o as it is possible Dor the
company to forward it, while another
will follow in a short time, according
to the Salt Lake Tribune. With the
reduction in the cost OF transporta-
ton and a very light treatment
charge at the furnaces Mr.. Lathrap,
who has sampled the dump at the
Belcher very carefully, writes that
piled upon it and in the mine is no
less than six thousand tons that will
be made to net the company not less
than 500, 900. These ores were
mined by the owners Of the General
Thomas group at a period when the
country was without transportation,
save by jack train, and when the
demand for silver-lead pres was sup
piled through channels not so remote
from market. 1t is understood that
eastern interests in the Tonopah-
Belcher have now acquired practi.
cally all Of the holdings at Tonopah
and that with the market clean up
active development will be prose
cuted. 1t looks now as il the Salt
Laker was to share the proceeds Of
another of Nevada's bonanzas.

THE MINING
Colonel MahOn Speaks on the
Importance of Mining.

A meeting was recently held in
Portland, Oregon, for the purpose
OF creating an Oregon state mining
league at which Col. Irwin Mahon,
secretary Of the American mining
congress presided, and in the course
OF his address stated:
More and larger individual for
tunes have been made during the last
half century in mining than in that
of any other line of business, and the
American mining congress, during its
short life of seven years, has done
ore to make known and advance
Legitimate mining, and at less cost,
than any other organized or disor-
gained institution on the face of the
earth.

and machine shops that have so
largely helped to build up and make
prosperous the cities in which they
are located would be silent and ten
antless. Railroads and other trans.
p~ortation companies would find their
profits greatly curtailed, the farmer
lose his best market, and merchants
and mechanics of every class discover
their loss to be astonishing. | ask
the question, and it is for you to
think over it seriously. where would
the great west be today were it not
for our mines?

"On the fostering and protection
Of the mining industry rests the
trength and honor of our nationality.
Therefore, every American citizen, |
care not what his calling in life may
be, is interested intensely in its pro-
lection and greater development.
The natural products of the soil be-
long to the people, under the ruling
OF laws of the highest equality which
is perfect equity, and the keel of
every human enterprise should sink
deep in its waters"
