AMERICAN MINERS
SAVE ORE VALUES

what / have seen ] think that the de-
velopment in the coming ten years will
be far greater than has ever bean
dreamed of.
"The industry in Africa? Well as
in this country, the industry is still in
it's infancy. There we have enormous
areas to be explored, and it seems GER
have been explored, will show even
greater wealth than those that have
been opened.
1--WE have beent troubled with labor
difficulties in other years, but these
are being done away with.
The KaffirS are Supplanting the
Chinese, and as a result conditions are
becoming more settled. The Kaffir,
when properly handled, is good
laborer, and is capable of development
and expansion of ideas. Mentally they
may not be as acute as the Chinese,
but they are reliable when properly
controlled.
"The mining industry in South Af-
rica has made wonderful advances in
the last few years, and the zone of ex-
plored country is gradually widening
from the mining centers.
The new country offers many sur
prises to the practical miners, and
great things may we'll be expected in
the future. New ana modern machln-
cry and methods are supplanting the
old, in both mining and milling, and
many of the old dumps are being
worked over as in this country, for
metals that were not formerly saved,
or that were but crudely extracted in
the past
The death of Alfred Belt came, not
as surprise, but as a shock to the
mining men of South Africa. His
death had been long expected, but
nevertheless 1t caused pain among his
old associates when the end came.
"The death of this master mind has
not affected the South African min
ing interests in any extent, as the ac-
tual business that he formerly ham
died in person had been given into
the hands of others during his Illness
The men who took these burdens from
his shoulders were trained under his
personal supervision, to his own meth
ods, and the business was, therefore,
continued without break or inter-
ruption.
Belt was a power In African af-
fairs until he was last stricken, and
his influence had great deal to do
with progress and development in the
mining business of the country"

The Public Houses
"They drop. into the nearest public
house or saloon of which there are
about three to every. block in England,
and for 21s cents they get pint mug
of ale. Then at a table they drink
one or two mugs, eat their bread and
feel that they have had a fine meal.
"These public houses are responsible
for the vast amount of drunkenness
one finds in all parts of the British
Isles among men and women and often
children. The public house is always
patronized.
I'VE talk about being taxed over here.
They are robbed over there. A man
who owns house and lot worth $500
over there is obliged to pay $40 year
on it. Then he must pay percentage
on his income and then comes three
separate levies to help maintain the
royal family.
Taxes and LandIordisn1
"Why, in a few years if he has any
misfortunes he loses his property, mere
ly for the taxes exacted from him.
Very little property is bought out
right. You simply get ninety -nine-year
leaseholds. At the end of the period
the property goes back to the heirs of
the man from whom you leased.
"In a short time all the ground on
which the city of Sheffield stands with
all it's houses and factories will pass

and his heirs will collect such rents
as they choose to fix. Everything in
the city is forfeited to them.
THE streets in English cities are
lined with mongers-peddlers and
salespeople whose little carts display
their wares from fish to flowers, and
meats to cakes. People pass along
handling this and that piece of meat
or fish. Would we in the United States
stand for that? Never
As to "High Game"

Why, the best Englishmen eat high
game They walt until venison and
rabbits and such turns blue before
they will eat 1t. They like it when it
smells. They prefer cheese when the
shippers are hopping all over and
through it, That is your Englishman's
taste.

England beaten by miles and more.

At their tender ages they are consid-
cred the best subjects for the civilizing

Miss Pine and a few experienced and
consecrated young women she knows
through her Peniel mission experience
will go to work at once. Not much be-
yond p store room and some furniture
and books are needed as a beginning.
Day and night schools will be es-
tablished and Sunday services will be
held and from this nucleus the project
will grow fast if other precedents prove
correct.
After the children have been brought
into the fold it is much easier to in
fluence their parents and the hold once
gained becomes all the more lasting.
Miss Pine comes by her evangelistic
and teaching experience through her
mother and her mothers aunt, who
were long identified with the Peniel
work in Los Angeles and Bakersfield.

AN AFRICAN ENGINEER GETS
POINTERS HERE
Wealth Is Extracted From Minerals in
This Country More Scientifically
Than Anywhere and Methods
Are Most Instructive

James Liddle, consulting engineer
for the DeBeers Consolidated Mines
company, Kimberly, South Africa,
passed through here, declaring Ameri-
can miners lead all.
Mr.. Liddle is making a tour of the
entire United States for the purpose
of studying mining and milling condi-
tions and to investigate the practical
application of recently invented and
approved mining and milling machin-
cry to everyday use
Nearly all of the great mining camps
of the country have been visited and
careful study has been given by this
expert of the classes of machinery that
may, be utilized by the gigantic COM
pany with which he is connected.
"The development of the mining in
derful," he said. "And at the same
time the industry will be enormously
greater a few years hence.
"The ingenuity of the miners of this
country is remarkable They seem to
leave no loophole for the loss of the
smallest profits.
1.-THE study of saving every penny's
worth of values seems to have been
carried to more exact science in
America than in amy other country in
the world. The mines of America are
study of the local conditions, which
are different in every section, and the
adaptation of the mining men to these
local conditions, In both mining and
milling operations, is remarkable. The
miners of America are among the most
progressive and daring in the world,
and their methods are most in
structive. The study of mining mas
chinery and its application 10 all con-
ditiois has brought me to this coun-

MISS SELMA PINE MAY OPEN
SCHOOL FOR YOUTHS
Peniel Worker Has Staff Ready and
If Quarters Can Be Had Will
Open an Institution for
Young Celestlals

To conduct a school for Chinese chill
dren is the ambitious project of Miss
Selma Pine, Los Angeles young wo-
man lust out of her teens, who has
been successful in similar work in the
American and. Chinese missions in Bak-
ersfield.
To a few friends in whom she has
confided her hopes Miss Pine has
stated that if certain conditions are
met she is ready to go ahead with the
project at once.
lust now the Chinese population of
Los Angeles and vicinity has been
largely swelled because of the many
celestials who came here from San
Frncisco pending the rebuilding OIL
that city. Many of these have been
under the care or influence of Christian
workers in the Bay city and now are
entirely cast off from these influences.

Monday--Got up, washed and went
Tueadhy--Got up, washed and went

Wedncsday--Got up and went to bed
without washing.
Like the life Of the boy oe whom Mark
Twain has given us a picture Is the
life of Hobart Bosworth new leading
man of the Belasco company accordr
ing to the statement of the actor.
In the light of the facts which may
develop, you may or may not think
that Mr.. Bosworth is the least bit OF
prevaricator,
When I found him he was sitting on
the edge of a rickety table in a room
on the top floor of the Turner hall
building. 1t was a rehearsal of the
Romeo and Juliet" matinee and he
was waiting for the cue which should
take him out of the prosaio role of O
mere modern day man, and into that OF
the Mercutio of Shakespeare's making
After giving this very conservative
estimate of the worth of his life Mr.
Bosworth's cue came and for the next
five minutes he neither got up, washed
nor went to bed.
Instead he fought a duel, was van
quished and was carried back to the
table dead.
When he had recovered sufficiently
to talk once more I did succeed in
learning little more about his life.
He Is a big man, with six feet OF
height and something near two hundred
pounds of weight to his credit. Tc
look at him one would never think that
the splendid frame contained a pair OF
lungs that have been the cause of their
owners exile from the art he loves
best, for six long years.
Can Paint as Well as Act
Hobart Bosworth is an artist. He
possesses the-soul of an artist, and thus
it was that when he could no longer
act he began to express his aspirations
on canvas. In the Steckel art gallery
there is an exhibit of desert landscapes
that are some of the best pictures OF
the kind seen in Los Angeles, and these
are from the brush of man who has
had no technical training.
If there is one thing more noticeable
about Hobart Bosworth than any other
1t is lack of self-conceit. To think
after an hours chat with an actor that
he is not overburdened with his owr
good opinion of himself, is to undergo
an unusual experience.
The conversation naturally turned tc
that subject.
Twenty years ago." said Mr.. Bos-
worth, Il went upon the stage.
II was a boy of seventeen then an6
l was filled with burning ambition

their feet and learn from them.
"There was one thing that disturbed
me. 1t seemed that actors generally
were conceted. The immodesty of ego
tism shocked me. I watched their live!
and 1 made up my mind that if I die
nothing else would keep from becom
ing conceited.

ent system of divorce must be rem

sonally l am not inclined to believe
that a law requiring the cause of

ward a better condition.
"In some of the eastern states, cru
city and the statutory charges are the
only ones on which DEGREES can be
obtaaned. But even that law works
hardships on ill-mated couples
"The only remedy is to establish a
universal law and then let the peo-
pie understand that on that law and
that only can they obtain divorces
with such condition Il would not
be long before the rate of divorce
would begin to decrease, for the peo-
ple then would make up many of their
little quarrels because they would
have to and not run to the divorce
