MINING ABOVE
CLOUDS IN PERU

At an elevation Of li,275 feet
above the sea level the mining dis
trict Of Csrro dc Pasco, in Peru, Is
located. Here is, indeed, mining
above the clouds, or, more correctly,
right In their midst. The silver
mines Of Cerro do Pasco once pro-
duced enormous quantities Of silver
from some OF the richest silver ore
that the world has ever seen, 40 his
tory tells us. lt has been a couple
OF hundred years since tho mineral
deposits Of this place were dis
covered, and az there are no posi-
tive statistics Of metal production,
we are left only to surmise of the
districts output, One estimate IL
that at least $3.50, 900. 900 In silver
has been extracted, while another
places the amount at about double
that great sum. However, Il IL nm
assured fact that Cerro do Pasco
has produced vast quantities of tho
white metal, and that there still
exists rich deposits In most certain.
| An American company has gone
! To an enormous expense In purchas-
, ing mines and building metallurgical
works ut Cerro do Pasco, aud tho
reduction of ore will soon begin.
The men behind the enterprise arc
thoroughly acquainted with mining
conditions M prncticcd In the United
States. The best of American mining
and meiallurgicnl talent was secured
In the preliminary opernt Ions, aud
In the working of tho n,ne aud re-
ductiou plant there will be Ameri
cans Of known ability.
Tho enterprises of this company In
tho more forcibly illustrated when
thu climate ut Cerro dePasco is taken
into consideration. Being located ut
tho tremendous elevation, aud, with
but one exception, the highest place
In the world where mining In carried
on, naturally this vast altitude calls
for mn nbominable climate. And IL
assuredly is supplied with what In
probably the worst climate known
~ human beings. The winter opens
up sharply In October aud continues
we'll into the following July, when
nn imitation summer Of cuople of
months makes its appearance. In
winter there are almost continuous
storms Of snow, hail aud sleet, aud
ompanyin. these storms there IL
usually II frigid, damp mist, being
due tn tho fact that the place IL right
In the midst of tho clouds. The
summer, IL there DO one. has hut few
clear days; rain, hail, and slest are
frequent, and continuation of the
mist abomination.
Despite these almost prohibitive
conditions, our capitalists put u
million OF more dollars Of their
money into CerrO do PascO mines.
To those who will have the operation
of the plant there will be u complete
isolation, Intensified by an execrable
climate. The mining and metal
Iurg icSl profession contains many
heroes. Mining World.

THOUSANDS SPENT FOR
CHRISTMAS OF POOR
Heads of Charitable Organizations Els
innate Generosity of Minneapolitans

Christmas charity will cost the people
of Minneapolis in the neighborhood Of
$4,000 in cash. This estimate was
made by Edwin D. Solenberger, man
ager of the Associated Charities, and
includes not only the gifts made thru
the various charitable organizations,
but also private and seml-prlvate CIV
ing.
The Associated Charities will expend
almost no money on special Christmas
work, but it is estimated that those
who have been appealed to for direc-
tions as to the best way to spend their
money will use all of $4,000 for their
Christmas benefcences.
The bills for the Salvation Army 8
Christmas dinner distribution have not
been audited as yet, but Brigadier ).
w. Cousins estimates the total expendl-
ture at $4,000 or more. This does not
include the Christmas tree for 200 chill
dren, which was given Friday night,
and probably cost over 500.
Major Andrick of the Volunteers estl-
mates the cost of yesterday afternoon s
distribution Of presents to children at
$3.50 This does not represent the total
value of the gifts distributed, as many
of them were donated.
The Salvation Army has distributed
food to 600 families and will feed LOCO

names and addresses of 700 families te

FREED FROM CELL TO
BE- HOME CHRISTMAS

Christmas will be happy day at the
modest little home of John Carney, in
St.>Paul.
Carney was sentenced by the st. Paul
municipal court ten days ago to thirty
days in the workhouse for drunken
ness. Liquor is Carney's worst enemy
When not under it's influence he is said
to be man kind to his family and
loved by his wife and two little chill
dren.
This morning Mrs. Carney appeared
at the governors office. She told pa
thetic story, of privation and want.
There was no one to care for her little
and with her husband in the workhouse
the family was destitute of any source
of income. 1t had finally come to the
point where the last cent of family
funds had been exhausted; the last
crust of bread had been consumed
The earnest appeal touched the heart
of Frank A. Day, Governor John A.
johnson S private secretary. He Wis
tied the attorney general and chief JUS
tice of the pardon board, told Mrs. Car
ney's story, and asked their indorse-
ment for pardon. Tho Governor John
son was absent from the state, and
ent Fitzgerald of the st. Paul work
house said he would honor a pardon
signed by the attorney general and
chief Justice. Such pardon was made
out yesterday afternoon and sent by
special delivery to the workhouse. Last
| evening Carney was released and sent
| to his home.
| Nor will Christmas be devoid Of its
| pleasures for the two little Carney
children Mr.. Day supplied Mrs. Car
| ney with money with which to make
tomorrow a day to be long remembered
I! in the hearts Of the two youngsters.

THIEVES Get RICH

CLEVER SHOPLIFTERS DEFY THE
SHREWDEST CLERKS.
Thefts Continue Tho Strictest Precau,

One Clerk Reports Losses by Theft

aged $40 Daily During the Week.

In spite of the fact that many Of the
old-time shoplifters are serving sen.
fences in the workhouse and peniten.
tiary, the department stores are report.
ing large losses Gaily and In the past
week the thieves are said to have
reaped rich harvest.
The departments where small valua
bles, such as ijewelry, silv g and
fer most and in some SON ae Cases s the iosse,
are astonishing. In one department in
a large store clerk said that the losses
for the week in her department had
averaged at least $40 daily. Whole
manicure sets have been taken at
time and yet suspicion could be placed
on no one person. Even the shrewdest
clerks are having their troubles and
several of them say that the thieves
must have invented many new and
clever schemes.
Detectives from police headquarters
are stationed at the large stores and
make frequent visits to the smaller
ones, but as they cannot be all over
the stores at the same time the thefts
seems to go on just the same.
AS a means of protection the store
managers in some cases have done away
with the exhibit counters for valuable
goods and the valuable articles of jew
elry and silverware are kept in glass
cases and shown to prospective pur.
chasers only on request. The costliest
articles are kept on shelves back of the
clerks, and out of the reach of the
shoplifters. .-..- .,a
Altho the police have done efficient
work in rounding up the thieves, the
latter seem to be more determined thi.
year than ever and are making large
holes in the profits.
An extra large force of detectives
was on duty last night to take care OF
! the last rush in the holiday trade.

SURPRISE HIM
Bemis Brothers Employees Make Presen-
tatlon to Their Superintendent.

Charles w. Simons, superintendent Of
the Bemis Brothers Bag factory, was
signally honored by the employees of the
firm yesterday. About o'clock he was
summoned to the fourth floor, where he
found the entire force of $50 employees
gathered. Miss Jennie Bergen, on behalf
of the entire party, presented him with
handsome gas lamp of bronze and
loaded glass and Elmer Miller, in neat
little speech, presented a speeding sulky
Of the most modern make. To make the
affair as realistic as possible life size
model of a horse was harnessed to the
sulky and holding the ribbons as proudly
as the driver Of Dan Patch was Miss Edna
Simmons.
Mr.. Simmons finally caught his breath
and made an appropriate reply, in which
he dwelt on the good relations which had
existed at the plant during the twenty
four years he has been superintendent.
Miss Simmons and others had a word or
two to say. Mayor D. p. Jones, who was
expected to be present was, to the regret
| of all, unavoidably detained elsewhere.
Several hundred gifts must have been
distributed about the factory yesterday,
for each one gave several and was only
sorry that he or she could not give more

The metal tongue of the big bell rings

1t speaks Of disaster and death. of re-
joicing and devotion. In England it
often tells of old times and quaint Gus

England, gives some of the traditions
handed down through the ''tintinnabu-
lation of the bells"
In some parts Of the country the bell
which tolls the old year out Is called
the "Old Lads Passing Bell" In west

a Practical Husband.

Surely the Monmouthshire man who
caused his wife's wedding ring to be
inscribed, IF thee doesn't work, thee
shan't eat" was determined that there
should be no mistake in what he re-
quired in wife. The only wonder is
how any woman could be induced to
marry him with such threat before
her eyes. The exact date of this ring
is not known, but it is previous to the
eighteenth century. - Chambers Jour
