GREAT NORTH
CHINA FRIENDLY
THE IMPORTANCE OF TIENTsIN
+ AS TRADING cENTER-WHERE
BOYCOTT WAS DIscouR.
AGED.


Special Agent Crist finds that Tien-
tsin stands second among the treaty
ports of China in the gross value Of
trade that passes through the port and
also in the amount Of. revenue collect
ed by the customs. In SO far as Amer
lean goods are concerned, Tientsin
even has a rival claim on Shanghai for
first place, from the fact that the
great,bulk Of textiles goes to the north
ern part of China for consumption
and the larger portion Of this area is
fed through the port Of Tientsin. "This
city" writes Mr.. Crist, became a
treaty port in 1860, and now consists
Of number Of foreign sentiments or
concessions and the native city. Adj
ministrative control goes with these
concessions, Great Britain now con.
trolling 1000 acres, France 2SO acres,
Japan 27S acres. and, finally, Germany
further secured, in 1901. an option on
a desirable strip along the river bank.
This will probably be only taken over
in the event Of construction OF the
projected Tlentsln.C hinkiang railroad.
After the siege Of Tientsin in'19OO Rus
STA, Belgium, Austria.Hungary. and
Italy occupied territory along the east
bank of the PelHo in sections Of 1896,
2Ss, 200 and 20 acresp respectively. All
Of these acts Of sovereignty were rat
flied by China.

Devotion Test Of Mooers

A Presbyterian clergyman OF this

with two popular daughters, has dis

Of their beaux at a seemly hour-a
plan which might appeal to lay fam

Ear number of years 1t has been
the custom Of the good man to hold
evening worship after supper, always
concluding the prayers with a short
discourse. Things went very we'll un'

Value Of Concessions.

"The United States stands alone
among the great powers in that she
has no foreign settlement in TIentsin,
The peace compact Of 1860 gave Amer.
lea this privilege and q reservation
was provided for her. The United
States consul eercised a quasi 1uris.
dictlon over It for 20 years, until 1880,
at which time 1t reverted to China.
In 1902 1t was added to the British
concession. The question is raised,
Would It be to the commercial advan'
tage Of the United States to have a
concessionT Two factors enter into
this problem, The presence Of the
concession might attract more Amerl.
cans to Tientsln and through them re-
suit in an increased American trade.
The other and more important consid.
Grafton, however, seems to me to be
in the attitude OF our government to-
ward concessions and ultimately in the
general policy Of the United States to.
ward the Chinese government itself,
"There can be no doubt, in spite Of
the recent boycott movement, that the
Chinese people and government, with
reason, feel more kindly disposed to-
ward Americans than toward people
of other nationalities. Inquiry among
natives, where the. nationality Of the
inquirer was unknown, has brought out
the fact that they put American mer'
chants upon a tribe more favorable
footing than the others. Inasnueh az

being resumed on large scale al
the Iron King mine, which il consid
cred by miners 10 contain some of tn,
largest deposits of medium grade
ores in the Big Bug district, and regu
lar shipments are now being made tC
the new plant.
These properties are owned by the
American Gold and Copper company
and embrace twenty patented claims
at the town Of Blanchard, about one
mile west from the Humboldt smclt

The mines are opened by five shafts,
ranging in depth from 200 TO 500 feet
and by about 5000 feet Of latcrals,
exposing large bodies Of copper bear.
ing iron sulphides, silicious copper
ores and dry silica ores, which are
now being exploited at eight or ten
faces, and the product shipped to the
new smclter. Work was discontinued
about one year ago on accoun. of the
impossibility Of marketing the product
at smcltcrs in other states at a profit,
but the completion of the new plant
only one mile distant has again reviv-
ed the camp rs with new life, and in
n short time IL gives promise of being
one Of the largest industrial centers in
the entire district. Already a large
number of men are Mt work there, and
this force will be increased from time
to time as room Is made in the mine
for the employment Of additional men
in an economic way.
The camp is thoroughly equipped
for large operations. There are five
complete hosting plants on the
ground capable Of hosting from a
great depth, as well rs pumping plants
which easily handle the volume Of wa.
ter that is encountered ms depth II
reached. In addition TO the force Of
miners taking out ore and developing
the property, the company has employ
ed several diamond drill outfits making
explorations of the ore bodies, and IL
is related by good authority that the
assays of the core taken from the
great depths reached has inspired tho
company with, such confidence that
plans for the development Of the mines
to n great depth are now under con

GRINDELL HAS FAINT HOPE
BROTHER MAY BE ALIVE
Yaqui Boy Tells Tale Of White Stran.

thread. T.. =. Grindell still believes
that his brother, Tom Grindell, is yet
alive and living among the Indians Of
Tiburon island, where he is held =
captive or remains Of his own de.
sire because demcnted.
Belief that Tom Grindcll has not
met terrible fate, his bones bleaching
on the desert Of Sonora, grows out Of
the statement made some time ago BY
iaqui youth to DIR. Tussant, who ac.
companicd Captain Thomas Rynning,
when the latter headed an expedition
in search Of the missing members Of
the Grindell party.
This boy told DIR. Tussant that'he
had been on Tiburon island after
Grindell had had time TO reach there,
and that he saw living among the In.
dams white man, who answered
Grindell's description. The boy said
the white stranger among the supposed
cannibals Of the island was permitted
to 90 among the people at will.
On account of his youth and lack
OF intelligence, the boy was able to
give but little information regarding
the presence Of white man on the ISL
and, all he could tell being that he had
seen him, and that he in a way Tailed

Active work on the claims was com.
meneed about two months ago by A.

result of the development so far. A
short time after he started the miners

was discovered.
