thirty miles inland. The mining is all
open work. We do an export business
entirely. We ship principally to Ger
many, bnt also TO the United Kingdom,
to Norway, Sweden and Denmark, Aus
lria and a little to Russia. We did ship
to France, but since deposits have been
found in Algiers and the French COM
panies have entered h a field we have
shipped very little.
Here is a description of q country
Ecene in Thibet, taken from Colonel L.
A. Wacaells note book. "Lhassa and
Its Mysteries:" ''From every hamlet
the cottagers had swarmed out into
their fields, ana were busily blowing
and sowing in the glorious sunshine,
forming pleasing bits Of bright color
Inc men were ploWing with oxen gaud-
by bedeeked with plumcs of wool dyed
glowing scarlet II blue, with long
throat tassels OF dyed yak's tails and
harness OF juggling bells, While close
behind the plowers anne the gayly
dressed women us the sewers scatter
ing broadcast theseed from their bas-
kets."
Some extraordinary bets have been
made on the Japanese-Russian war. A
number Of Japanese officers have bet
that they would be killed in battle. The
money was to go to their widows. One
officer, on starting for the front, made
the following wager: If he We're Killed
within 8 month his heirs were to re-
teive $500. After that date he was to
pay his opponent 10 ven $3.50 a day I'M
III he had survived 100 days, after
which the Bet was to cease. He un-
dertook to expose himself to danger
only when military conditions de-
manded 1t; in other words, he would
not wilfully let himself be killed.
