COPPER

CANTON, China, Jan. 21.-The
copper resources of China are i'm
mense, but because of the ignorance
OF the Chinese in mining methods
but little copper is produced. Copper
ls abundant In Ho-hoi Hsien. Wu-tfng
Chih-li Chow. Wei-hsi Using. Yung-
chang Flu. Ket-hua Eu and Tung-
ch'usn Flu. which has the richest de-
posits of copper IN any part of Yum
nan, Indeed. blocks Of pure copper
are said to exist in the last-named
locality. which have. denied all the
ingenuity brought to bear on them
for ages. Japanese mining experts
are now being rapidly introduced into
these localities and the deposits are
being reduced to marketable metal.
The copper deposits in Chao-tung Flu
are immense. The usual manner of
getting ore has been to follow lode
from the surface into the ground as
long as possible without going to the
expense of sinking a shaft or making
a tunnel. The miners have usually
been left to do as they please under
ground, government officials and pri-
vate capitalists considering it beneath
their dignity to explore the caves dug
at their expense or order. The miners
have. as a rule. been treated badly,
and have taken their revenge by try
ing to ruin them-usually by getting
out only very poor ore. until the
capital invested is exhausted, and
leaving columns of best-paying ore
standing, which they usurp for their
own benefit after the mines have been
abandoned.

You know this is the sort Of life You
plan for me to perpetuate. Your am
bition for me is to have me enter the
bank, to become an expert in finance,
to marry and manage a luxurious,
proud, exclusive establishment and
train my children to follow in the same
path, keeping the name of the
Gordons as social and financial word
to speak in the city and in select
circles as synonym for distinguished
wealth and high breeding, unmixed
with any vulgar association with COM
mon humanity. I say such a career
fills me with horror. I feel as if all
these years l had been living under the
condemnation of an angry God, and /
cannot. and will not any longer live
such life. You have no right to ask
me to do it. l have no right to
attempt it." "-

WAS SPOKANE
HIS. MODEL ?

TOPEKA, Kan. Jan. PC. NJ.
Sheldon in his new novel "The Per-
former" strikes a hard blow at the
Indifference of the rich to their munic-
ipal duties. This is specimen Of the
dialogue between a rich father and his
son, who wishes to serve the people:
Father we have servants, carriages,
yachts, summer Observation-Disclosures of
all descriptions. Out of all the wealth
of our lives we give fraction Of income
to SO called charity. We are all three
of us church members. We pay a
large sum nominally to church ex-
penses. We do not give anything Of
our personal lives or personal enthusi-
asm to church or Christian work. Ths
prayers we say in church have no
meaning because we do not mean them.
The very charity we dispense is an act
of proxy which represents no thought,
no sacrifice and no human affection.
We give because it is customary or as
a means of silencing (God pity us!)
our waking consciences that in spite
of us sometimes remind us that there
is human brotherhood.
DAY after day, with monotonous
treadmill regularity, follows one func-
ton after neutrality-suspicious., teas,
theaters, concerts, gayeties, self, self,
self-while the city grows up in its
political life, rotten, vile, uncared for
by the money grubbers SO long as too
much blackmail is not levied on the
business in which we are engaged.
Practically we have said all these years
to this city, where our money has been
made: we care nothing for your real
life. All that we want out of you is
living for ourselves, a luxurious living.
Let the preachers and the philanthro-
pists and the professional reformers
see to all the painful and disagreeable
details of human misery and social
wrong. We are too busy with our
money making to be disturbed by cries
for Justice or righteousness. Father

Winnipeg
to the Gulf

OMAA, Jan. pit is said that work
will begin in Nebraska within the next
few weeks on the Winnipeg, Yankton
4 Gulf railroad, which is to run from
a point near Winnipeg down through
the Mississippi VALLEY to a port on the
Gulf of Mexico. Surveys from Yank-
ton north will be made to be followed
by survey to the gulf. This is de-
signed to be one of the largest systems
in North America.
Although the route of the road has
not been definitely decided upon, it is
probable that its northern terminus
will be at Winnipeg. 1t will pass
through the eastern parts of South
Dakota and Nebraska. How it will
thence proceed to the gulf is a matter
of uncertainty, though it is believed
that Galveston will be selected for a
terminus.
