A DOWN EAST mine
COPPER DEPOSIT BEING WORKED
IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS.
Thriving Small Mining Community
Which is Doing Business in
Hoosao Hills ~ Looks Like
Western Mining Camp.

One would not naturally look for
a copper mine in old Massachusetts,
but such is one of the surpries one
would meet with in travelling through
the Hoosac hills in the valley of the
Deerfeld, for there would be found
mining community which looks for
all like a western mining camp,
barring, perhaps. the saloons and
the gambling places, and might be
appropriately called the "Leadville of
New England"
A well defined mineral belt appears
in the hills of southern Vermont and
continues, with varying richness of
surface showings, across the state Of
Massachusetts to the south, some say
as far as Virginia Whatever may be
its extent, there certainly is ample
evidence of no little wealth under
ground, but the great problem is to
find the best points where it may be
extracted at a maximum of profit
the same old problem that dominates
the search for gold, silver, copper and
iron, wherever they exist and on the
successful solution of which depends
the development of satisfactory min
ing properties.
Mining is not new in Clarmemont
and it's vicinity, but a boom like the
present one is distinctly new there.
For nearly a quarter of a century the
largest pyrites mine in the United
States has been profitably operated in
the little settlement of Davis, in the
town of Rowe, just to the northwest
Of Charlemont but better known in
connection with the latter town be-
cause Charlemont is the point of ship
ment for ore to concerns throughout
the state east of the Mississippi
The great vein Of pyrites-the
largest known deposits in the world out
side of Spain-is a part of the mineral
belt which cuts across Massachusetts,
just east of the main Housatonic
range Where there is an immense
body of pyrites it is generally safe to
assume that copper, as well, exists
and it has been found to be the case
in this instance, several pockets hav-
ing been discovered in the pyrites do
ruain of the Davis company and indi-
cations located at several other points
among the hills to the south.
About % years ago II. J. Davis, a
New York chemist, who was interest
ed in obtaining the mineral, owned a
mine in W. v~nvince of Quebec and
rom this mine in his

extensive surface showings of the
same thing in the town of Rowe.
Mr.. Davis lost no time in locating the
place and purchased the land for the

body
Three farms were included in his
purchase, giving him about one and
one-half miles on the strike of the

CHANCES IN MANCHURIA.

Many times since the close of the Russo
Japanese war the charge has been made that the
Japs using their privileged position in Man
churia to secure a monopoly of the trade there
This charge was generally accepted true on
count of the known aptitude and keenness Of the
laps in trade and commercial enterprises.
The evacuation of the disrupted territory has
been completed by both of the late combatants
and has been turned over, constructively, at least
to the Chinese. 1t is therefore, reasonable to look
now for something definite and trustworthy as to
the exact commercial status in Manchuria.
Information of this kind is furnished by cor
respondent of the London Times, and it is surpris-
ing in it's difference from what could be expected
in the light of preconceived ideas. This corre-
spondent found both at New-Chwang and at
Shanghai the most pronounced hostility to the Jap
anese and went into Manchuria with the expecta-
ton Of discovering commercial reasons for this i'll
feeling.
What he did find was very different Ac-
cording to his view there is no commercial COM
petition in trade that the Japanese have made
complete failure, there being in the Manchurian
territory, with two exceptions, no Japanese equiva-
lent for the big exporting and importing firms that
Americans and Europeans have established in
other parts Of the Chinese empire.
His observations lead him to remark that "the
Japanese in Manchuria is contractor to the Jap
anese army, restaurant keeper, barber, gen
eral storekeeper (whose customers are nearly all
Japanese), or he may keep porcelain or wine de-
pot, where again he supplies only Japanese needs"
Assuming this view to be correct, and that it
is true that only the lower class of Japanese
to be found in Manchuria, and, further, that lack
of business instinct and enterprise have been
greater deterrents to advancement than lack of
capital to which the Japs themselves attribute their
failure, there is certainly plain lesson for Amer-
cans in the situation.
1t is stated that those who have already en-
tered the field are increasing both their business
and their profits. There is room for much more Of
the same kind of energy, pluck and intelligence.
One thing seems proved by the facts of this evi-
IDENTIFY unprejudiced observer-that Americans can
compete with the Japanese for the trade of Man
churia and win, if not the whole, certainly the
greater part of that big market their own
