the well known millionaire or Japan, Baron onibusawa. The company began work, but in some way or other 1t has gotten tangled up, and Is now in bad shape. It is said that Jardine. Matthieson & Co.,, a well known English firm which is operating in the far east, is about to get hold of the property, and that they will develop It."
 'Is it considered very valuable?''
 "The indications are exceedingly good" said the mining engineer. "The conccs- sion Is 20 miles long and 14 miles wide. and the Seoul-Fusan railway runs through it. The natives have been mining gold there for years, and there is one lode five miles in length, which has Corean workings all over 1t. The engineers have also reported valuable piacers, and it is believed that they can be dredged at @ profit"
 Fortunes in Copper.
 The Coreans have been producing cop per for many generations. Nearly all their kitchen furniture is made of this material. They wash in brass basins and eat from brass bowls, and their finest fur niture has hinges of brass. There are scores of brass stores in the city of Seoul, and copper has been more or less exported for years. large part of the native ore of this kind has come from the mines of the Emperor, and the most
  uated in northern Corea, and which have been fought over in the courts for the past four years and settled only last June, In favor of the American claim ants. These mines now belong to Coll bran and Bostwick. and they promise to produce a great amount of valuable ore. talked with Mr Weigall about them. Said he:
 There is copper in many parts of northern Corea. The country is covered. however with great fields of lava, which prevents mining under it. The chief cop per mines are now around the edges where the lava has eroded and this is the character of the Kapsan property The mines are situated about a mile above the sea and 120 miles from the coast. They are in the northeastern part of the peninsula, where the winter clim- ate is very severe. We have to go over two ranges of mountains to reach them, and we shall have to take our machin- cry in on pack ponies. We shall put up small smelter right away, beginning out work in the spring, and shall in crease our plant right along"
 Are these mines extensve?"
 Yes, and the copper Is rich. They have been worked as far back as 1000 years ago, and with rude native methods have produced something like 3O0,O0O tons of smelted copper per annum. The ore runs, on the average, about 10 per cent copper, which is far higher than that of other copper mines. The concession is 20 miles long and IS miles wide, and there is copper all over It.
 How did the Americans get this mine. MT. Weigall?"
 Tt originally belonged to the King. and it was one of his principal properties. MT. Collbran secured cpncession from his majesty to take up npining property anywhere in the country of the dimen-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-06-06

sion was to include any mines belonging to the King. MT. Collbran investigated the Kapsan region and selected this prop erty. He realized that he would have difficulty holding it, and when the papers were drawn up he had them signed by the Emperor in the presence of his min isters at the palace He then had them certified to before the United States min ister to Seoul, Dr. Allen They were then taken to London and certified to by the Corean minister there. and then to Wash fngton, where the Corean minister to American affixed his Endorsement. Then the war with Russia came on. and the Japanese, having prospected that region declared that the property was theirs, and tried to set MT. Collbrans conces- sion aside. The matter was fought over in the coutrs, and, to make long story short. it has now been settled in MT. Coll bran's favor"
 ssWhat other copper mines has Corea?"
 s'There are three great belts here in which copper is found. The Japanese have some mines in the southern part of the country, and the Italians are devel- oping the Kang-ge mines. They have five-foot bands of per cent copper in diorite limestone, or about the same type of formation as the gold of Suan So far. however, the only really great mine of well known value is the Kapsan."
 Graphite and Iron.
 'eWhat other important minerals has Corea?'
 "One which promises to be very valu- able Is graphite. This is of high grade, and samples which have been sent to London have assayed values of $00 ton. An engineer sent here by one of the big lead pencil companies, which use so much of that metal, speaks highly of the prospects. Already mines are being opened, the largest of those now in oper-

tired and hungry and perhaps a little bit peeyish. And there was the porter standing there, and goodness only knows what he might have been think ing! So Mrs. Guernsey said what was only natural and human under the cir cumstances and that was that she would be immensely gratifed if Mrs Steh would mind her own business.
 That was all The friends turned their backs on each other.
 Mrs Guernsey had la baggage taken to her room and Mrs. Stich had 'le'' baggage taken to hers. The two women returned different steamers. and the day they reached Independence on different trains the war began which has divided the town.
 Mrs. Guernsey dropped out of every club of which Mrs. Stich was a mem Der. and Mrs. Stich struck from her visiting list the name of every hostess who entertained Mrs. Guernsey.
 The business relations of the bankers ceased, MT. Guernsey withdrew from every local enterprise in which MT. Stich was interested, and the latter countered by withdrawing the credit of every business man who had his name on the Commercial banks books
 Business men say that if 1t were not for the falling out of these two women Independence would be today a town of 5000 population instead of one of half that number.

 Independence, Kan.-The vexatious question of what is behind the feud that has been agitating Independence for more than ten years, depressing the city socially. financially and otherwise while other Kansas towns in the gas belt have grown into booming thriving mu- nicipalities, has at last been solved.
