SHOWS ADVANCE OF Japan.
Crude Methods Of Mining Discarded
for Most Up-to-Date Ideas.

Near the center of the beautiful
mountain island of Shikoku. and
standing rather more than 1000 feet
above the waters of the inland sea
OF Japan, there is peak of sulphide
copper ore which has become a Gen.
ter OF industry popularity known
throughout the island empire as
Sumitomo Bessi. Here, for centuries
before the industrial development of
the new world was begun by white
men, the Japanese were mining in a
crude way and carrying the ore on
their backs in small wicker baskets
(such as are still used for coaling
ships at NagasakD down the IL miles
OF arduous mountain paths to the
shelters on the shore of the inland
sea.
To-day the marvellous little work
ers are still at the pursuit of burrow-
Ing out the mountain, but vast
change has come over the methods of
working, says writer in the En-
cheering Magazine. Where in the
ancient times only paltry few hun
dred baskets of ore were each day
borne over the difficult trails, an out
put of 5000 tons daily now glides
down great galloway, and is car
ried from the foot of the slope by rail-
road to the sea. In short, there is
established at Sumitomo Bessis a
modern mining plant, modern in all
essential details of engineering con-
struction, and the wonder of the
transformation is that it has been
wrought without the direct assist
ance of single foreign engineer.

James Carruthers, a wheat exporter
OF Canada, with headquarters at Mon

We are now on an export basis, and
our wheat is selling freely. While the
crop in western Canada is doing we'll.

line is not doing so well. The crop is
late, and that is where we are certain
to encounter some trouble. In order
to have wheat crop in western Can

For long and active life the religious
observance of the Sabbath Is absolute
ly necessary. The pace at which we
live, he said, renders it impossible for
us to get the requisite sleep to equip
us for the daily battle and for that
reason God had provided day of rest
In each week. Only by religious OBJ
servance could this rest be obtained, he
declared.
If the day ever arrives when this land
shall become the sport Of anarchists,

will point to the government In con-

noon, told of the assassination of For
mer Governor Steunenerg. In minute
detail he testified in regard to the de-
liberate preparations for the crime;
of his unsuccessful effort to end the
governor and finally the placing OF

land will end the direct examination,
and the witness will be turned over to
Clarence S. barrow for cross-examtna-
ton. Before telling of the Steunen
berg murder Orchard detailed his al
legged attempts on the lives of Fred
Bradley at San Francisco; Justice
Gabbert, Justice Goddard and Gov.
Peabody at Denver, and of plans
which, he said were made to kill Sher-
man Bell Frank Hearns, David Moi
fat and John Neville. Throughout his
story he pictured Pettibone as his pay
master, and in some of his attempted
crimes he implicated the defendant as
an active participant. In every detail
his narrative was the same as given
in the Haywood trial, but Hawley' in
his questioning was careful to lay en-
phasis on the part ALLEGED to have
been taken by the defendant on trial
