Smallpox occurs regularly from year
to year, and little prevention is used
to stop it, We have established vac

pie as rapidly as possible. We find it
very hard to do this, especially in the
country districts. The Koreans do not
understand what vaccination means
and they are more afraid Of it than of

KOREAN MINES.
The conversation here turned to min
ing concessions. and I asked his OK
celIency if foreigners had any chance
to make money mining in Korea. He
replied:
"They have as many opportunities as
the Japanese. The minerals with the
exception of coal. are open to ALL AS
it is now. some of the most valuable
mines are held by Americans, and there
are q number of large concessions be-
longing to Foreigners
rs the country rich. minerally?'
TT has minerals iii many parts of
it." said the resident general, but
believe not in large quantities Most
OF the mining properties are small. and
SO far no great and valuable dscov-
cries, outside of the gold and copper
mines, have been made. Korea con-
tains silver. gold, copper and iron.
There is considerable coal, but the sup
ply of fuel out here III the far east is
so limited that we have special regula-
tons concerning it..
rs there enough coal and iron to
make Korea an industrial country
Il think So We shall eventually
have factories and foundries and will
make for ourselves many of the things
which we buy from abroad. :
THE OPEN DOOR.
Does the open door exist i'll Korea,
your excelIency?"
YES, according to the trenties. the
goods of all countries come in on the
same terms. There are no discrimin-
atoms in favor OF Japan. and indeed
Japan has the worst of it as to some
importations. This is SO with tobacco.
That is a monopoly In Japan and the
government fixes the prices. Every
one knows what the merchants have
to pay for the japanese tobaccos
Therefore the American Tobacco COM
pany and others can ship in their
wares and undersell the japanese. I
believe they are doing that now.

cy. .and are trying to teach the people
to make the most of their lands. AT
present there is little use of manure,
and they know nothing of artificial fer
tiliZers. They do not appreciate the
possibilities of their soil. 1t will pro-
duce eight-tenths OF the varieties OF
things grown III Japan, and some which
we cannot successfully cultivate.
'.This is especially SO as to cotton.
We are experimenting with that at half
a dozen different places in southern
Korea. We have used the native seed
and also the American upland.
So far the native seed seems
the better Our experts estimate that
there are half million acres of good
cotton land in Korea, and that we can
eventually raise all the cotton we need
here and have a large amount for ships
ment abroad

ed, how many people could it support"
That question is difficult to answer"
said ViscOunt Some. I've have now
about twenty million people here. This
is above other estimates, but there are
parts Of the country which are thicklS
populated. If all the land available
could be used and improved methods
employed on it and on the farms now
under cultivation. there is no doubt
but what we could produce twice as
much as We do now, This means that
Korea could then support 40.000,000
without much trouble. It might sup
port more.
"In that case YOU will have an out
let for the congestion os japan, will
you not?"
'.To some extent, yes: but. SO far, the
Japanese farmers do not seeln anxious
TO come to Korea. The methods of
cultivation are different here, as are
also the soil and conditions of life. We
have been encouraging immigration
but as vet have not had manyaof the
farming class. A great deal of the
undcveloped land lies in the northern
part Of the country. The farming there
is more Ike that of the United States
and our people do not take to it. In
