sacred scriptures, all written in letters

1t is to be feared that the worthy
babuS enthusiasm for the Thibetans,
coupled with the knowledge that no
man of his day was in position to
question his facts, has more than once
led him to exaggerate the marvels OF
the various monasteries and palaces
which he visited.
The town of Gyangtse is, roughly
speaking, somewhat over mile long
and half mile across, lying nearly east
and west North of the western end
stands the monastery, on hill some
$50 feet high, while a few hundred
yards to the southeast precipitous,
craggy peak rises from among the
houses of the town to height OF 500
feet. This is crowned by the now ia
nous jong, or fort, of Gyangtse-a
formidable stronghold of the usual
Thibetan type, the steep cliffs being
defended by the ramparts OF dry mud
and stones so CALAMITY stormed OF;
July by the Gurkhas and the Royal
Fusiliers. The monastery and the
long were built in the fourteenth CEN
fury by the renowned King Choigyal
Rabtan, whose history in two printed
volumes is among the treasured
archives of the Lhassa government.
Between the two hills lies the bazaar;
south of the jong is the Chinese quar-

ter; and the town stretches away 10
the east along the Lhassa road, ending
in a wretched and filthy slum. The
very fertile, being skilfully irrigated
from the Nyang Chu river, which flows
about a mile from the town Wheat
and barley, radishes, peas and turnips
are largely grown, and the town has
some reputation for the manufacture
of wooden cloth.
The chief Importance of Gyangtse,
however, is its position at the junction
of the road from Bhutan with the
Jang-lam, the great high-road leading
from China to Ladak, and connecting
Lhassa with Shigatse, the capital of the
province of Tsang. This road, which
Sarat Chandra Das describes as simi-
lar to an ordinary Indian unmetalled
road, is the main highway of Thibet.
and in the event of the present expedi-
tons pushing on to Lhassa, it will
form the line of advance, as the
Bhutan road has done since the mis-
sion left Phari. Its situation at this
tse the depot for Thibetan trade with
Bhutan, and it is possible that in the
near future it may become the mart
for vastly greater trade with India.
The commerce of Thibet now finds its
outlet almost entirely through China,
and the lamas of Lhassa, who draw a
large revenue from Chinese royalties
on tea and customs duties, are natu-
rally strongly opposed to any opening
up of trade with the south. The peo-
pie of the southern provinces are, how
ever, weary of the tyranny and exac-
tons of the Lhassa hierarchy, and the
present mission will earn their graft
tude in no small degree if it breaks
down the barrier between them and
India, and enables them to trade direct
with country which will not only
| take all the exports of gold, borax
salt, wool, musk, and furs, but will
| furnish them in exchange with lux
uries such as tea, tobacco, cotton goods
| and hardware, at price far below
what they now pay for these articles
after travelling over some 1000 miles
of road from the manufacturing dis
tricts of China AS an instance of the
profitable nature of Thibetan trade, il
may be noted that five hundredweight
of salt costs IL rupees in Chumbi (the
nearest town to the Indian border)
and can be sold in Darjeeling, some
| 80 miles away, for 60 rupees.
Gyangtse is distant 213 miles from

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Growth of Trade.

Twenty years ago the first trainload
of iron ore was shipped in Minnesota
over the Duluth & Iron Range railroad
from the Minnesota iron mine at
Tower The train consisted of fifteen
cars, and the engineer in charge was
Thomas Owens, now superintendent
of the road. The total shipment for
that year, 1884, was 81, 12l tons, and
all from the Vermillion range. The
Mesabi range made its first shipment
in 1892 of 4,245 tons, less than half the
total of tonnage now carried by the
steamer Wolvin. During the two de-
cades of the industry total OF about
90, 900, 900 tons has been shipped from
the state There are now on the two
Minnesota ranges about sixty mines
that are being operated and are ship
pers and about twice that number non
shipping properties. The total valu-
alton of the mines, as returned by the
board of equalization, including the
real and personal property, is $42,-
