MINING NEWS.

Victoria, B. CA number of Hin
dus engaged as miners at Comox have
struck for higher wages. A Nanaimo
dispatch says number of Hindu WON
en- are among them masquerading as
men and doing mems work. One Hin
du woman gave birth to a child at
Comox. 1t was said by immigration
officials that there was no woman
among the arrivals.
While William Cuddihy was inspect
ing huge crane at the Washoe
smelter at Anaconda he fell to the
floor below and received injuries from
which he died.
A strike at the Bryant mine is re-
ported which as described eclipses
anything that has occurred in the
Occur d'Alene district during the past
two years. The Bryant mine is just
east of the Silver Cable on the Mon
tana-Idaho divide.
AS recently as 1888, says the Cop
per Handbook, the 1906 edition of
which has just been issued by Horace
j. Stevens of Hougnton, Mich, the
value of the copper produced in the
United States was only $33,833,954,
and for 41O4, only two years ago, was
but $105,629, S45, the year 1904 being
the second in the history of the coun-
try in which the value of the copper
output exceeded 100000 900, yet, at
the present moment, the copper mines
of the United States are producing
copper to the value of 100000 900
yearly, and the Lake Superior copper
mines alone are making copper worth
$150,00O for every day in the year, or
at the rate of more than $1,000, 900
weekly. So great has been the
growth of the industry and so rapid
the increase in price of the metal,
that the production of three counties
of the single state of Michigan is as
great in value as the entire copper
production of the United States as
recently as 1S97-only nine years ago
and double the value of the entire
copper output of the United States
in year as comparatively recent as
1889.

Are Marking the Boundary.

The work Of marking the boundary
between Canada and the United States
has so far progressed in the district
adjacent to Washington and Idaho,
where operations through wild and
rugged region have been going on for
several years, that the government is
now asking an appropriation to con-
tlnue the work farther east, states a
washington, D. c., report. The Sec
rotary OF the treasury has transmitted
TO congress an estimate of $4,000 to
be inserted in the diplomatic and con-
snlar appropriation bill.-It is proposed
to use this money to mark that part
or the boundary lying between the
headwaters of the St. Croix river and
Halls stream.

The use and value of the silo has
made phenomenal progress throughout
the country during recent years. In
1883 the United States Agricultural
Department reported only ninety silos
In the country. The rece:.t renort finds
Approximately 100000. Formprly the
benefits of the silo were almost wholly
unknown to the average farmer; now
IL Is found to be necessity on thou
sands of farms. This is especially true
In the corn belt. where the sio Is almost
necessity In economical dairying.
recent experiments prove conclusively
that the use of slage Is quite as much
OF necessity In beef production. 1t
not only provides palatable, succu-
lent, healthy food, but enables the
farmer to keep about twice the number
OF live stock as before the advent of
the silo. 1t not only produces nearly
double the quantity Of dairy products
and beef, but augments the fertility Of
the soil. The silo is here to stay, and
every farmer should plan to have one.
With all its other advantages. there Is
no other way that roughage can be so
cheaply stored.

MulchinE Peach Trees,

The Nebraska experiment station has
demonstrated that rapidly growing
peach trees are made harder in both
wood and fruit bud by the use of
cover-crop. BY drying the ground some
what in late summer the growth of the
trees Is checked and the wood natures
properly before the advent Of freezing
weather. Cover-crops that survive the
winter-rye, for tnstance-are detri-
mental to orchards, because they dry
the ground excessively In spring when
the trees need abundant moisture.
Cover-crops that are killed by the early
frosts are better than those which live
later, because as soon as killed they
stop drying the SOIL catch fall rains
and winter SHOWS and check evapora-
ton.

How to Drive a Well,

In many sections of the country
where there Is gravelly sub-strata,
the obtaining Of water Is a compare
lively simple matter by means of a
driven well, says Farming. The method
Is as follows: A section of pipe Ga con-
venient size being inch and a quarter)
Is fitted with point of IRON This pipe
Is bored full Of holes, which are COW
cred with brass gauze The point Is
driven into the ground by a sledge ham,
mer and fve-fOot sections of galvan-
lied iron pipe are Joined to 1t as it is
driven into the ground. Frequent tests
are made with pitcher pump to dis
cover when water has been reached.
This method Of obtaining water Is not
altogether satisfactory, because from the
very nature Of things the work has to
be done blindly. and very often one Is
obliged to give up entirely after hav-
Ing driven twenty or thirty feet of pipe
through quicksand from which no
water can be obtained.

Scarcity of Quail.

Quail starved to death by thousands
In the winter Of 19O4-O5, but last winter
they had an easy time except in Febru-
airy and March. From Massachusetts
to Indiana the quail are so scarce that
restocking has become necessary. The
birds for this purpose are hard to find.
More than 100000 have been captured
In Alabama and the southwest, where
they still occur in abundance. and have
been shipped north for breeding. Even
this supply Is inadequate, and may not
last long. The quail Is perhaps our most
game bird, and market will
be found for all that can be procured.
Complete success has been had in rails
Ing them on small scale. Why should
not some one go into the business on
such scale that he could turn out
100000 quail per year?-Country Life

Electric Farming,

Experiments in electrical farming,
which have been held by Prof. Lem
stroem, of Helsingsfors, have demon
strated some very Interesting facts. In
one experiment with carrots the yield
was Increased 30 per cent the first
year and 9n per cent the second year
over plants that were not treated cleo
trically. In another experiment with
potatoes where the current was gener-
ated galvanically in the earth by
means Of copper and zinc plates con-
nected by insulated wires strung above
growing vines, an increased yield of
from 60 per cent to 100 per cent was
recorded. Some scientists now claim
that the large harvests of Spitzbergen
and Finland are due to the electrical
influence of the aurora boreaIis-

San FRANCISCO JAP SOCIAL
lists ISSUE A PAPER.
It Makes an Attack on Policy Of
President Roosevelt on Japanese
Question in California-Marked
Copies Sent to School Board-They
Issue a Statement.

San Francisco secret service
agents have had their attention called
to paper published in Berkeley en-.
titled Kakuemei, or 1.-THE Revolution
issued by the Japanese socialist revo.
lutionary party, containing an article
in which reference is made to the
attitude of President Roosevelt in the
school question, in which the follow
ing language is used:
1--WE believe that such a thing as
the trifiing legislature which the CAPT
talist class may from time to time
fling to the workers will prove of no
avail; that it is about as effective as
the tiny stream from a baby'S water
gun thrown into a raging fire. Our
policy is toward the overthrow Of the
mikado, king and president, as repre-
senting the capitalist class, as soon
as possible and we do not hesitate as
to the means.
president Roosevelt in his mes
sage to congress censures the exclu-
sion Of Japanese in California and
every nation appauded his action, par
ticularly our nation. The members
Of the socialist revolutionary party
expected him to do as he did for the
following reason:
Being aware OF the industrial de-
velopment and economic determinism
and knowing well that his censures
can not affect the iterests of the
capitalist class which he represents,
he had nothing to lose in appearing
to do the right thing by the japanese
and thus satisfy his vanity by gain
ing the applause and approval of all,
particularly our nation"
Marked copies of the paper were
sent to members of the board of edu-
cation and by them turned over to
the federal authorities.
The board of education, by Secre-
tery Leffingwell has issued a state
ment regarding the matter, which
says in part:
IF any proof were needed that the
Japanese are all undesirable people as
residents of this country that proof
has been supplied by the editorial ex-
pressions of this Japanese publica-
ton, the Revolution, which, by impli-
cation, advocates the humiliation of
the first citizen of this land"
The paper was mailed in Berkeley
and is printed in both Japanese and
English.
The officials denounce the publica-
ton in the strono Jest terms.
1t was ascertained that the "Revo-
luton" is published in this city at
1917 Post street by Japanese social
ist named Shigeski Okla The copy
containing the anarchistic editorial
bears the date of December 20 and
is the first number of the publication
that has been issued. Okla claims
that he does not know who wrote
the indammatory article. He says
the headquarters of the Japanese
revolutionary party are located in
Berkeley and that the paper is pub
lished by him under arrangement
with the society.
The Japanese Socialistic club has
headquarters in Berkeley, 1851 Parker |
street. The club members are six |
Japanese youths, who refused to give |
out the name of the editor.
