One can mentally retain, in a second
Of time. all the principal sources Of
mineral wealth. Seemingly, in mining,
1t takes but little to produce much.
Farms are everywhere, and manufac-
turers are in every town. But mining
for precious metals is comparatively
limited as to area, yet the results
equal the product Of thousands OF
farms or manufactured OF course the
combined result from the farm or
manufactures Is far greater than the
output of the mines. But one mine
may equal all the industries Of even
a thriving town. The advantage OF
the result from mining over the re-
suit from any other industry lies In
the great profit to the operator. Not
that the latter's. product

Is worth that generally remains.
other industries are mostly Of an
ephemeral nature. The one makes
the other substantial. The product Of
the soil Is imperative Manufactures
are not. Custom and civilization have
made them Of worth, while the pro-
duct Of the metal mines has made
both the above Of worth Has given
them value in that they can be trad
ed in at the price of metals. or their
value is gIaged by the product of the
metal mines-sreaking of gold and
silver. Of course, and copper and
nickel.
Aside from the adoption Of the
metals ss a guase Of value for com
modities, most Of the output could be
utilized were they not exchangeable.
Man has always rated the metals
highly owing to their unique appear
ance as distinguishable from tho
rocks. Having thus been made much
of by appearance they gained value
through their rarity or the seeming
intricate manner of reclaiming them
from the incalculable amount Of dross
with which they are associated.
The value of metals thus establish

DETROIT BANKS
FUNK S VICTIMS
Man Nabbed in Pennsylyania for
Wholesale swindles Got $3.50
In Detroit.

Edward Funk, who according TO teie-
graphic dispatches. was arrested, We'd
nesday In East Stroudsburg. Pa, as a
man wanted In 15 different cities OF
the United States for defrauding
banks out OF large sums OF money, is
wanted badly in Detroit. according to
the local police.
Detective Frank Wilkinson, assign
ed TO duty in the banks. says that
within a recent date. Funk has swim
died two Detroit banks out of $3.50.
The Peninsular Savings bank was
stung to the tune OF $500 and the Dime
Savings bank was a victim for $3.50.
Funk's game was daring but a
clever one, according to Wilkinson.
He would drift into city and rent
a whole floor In some large building, I"
says Wilkinson. He then represents
that he Is starting In some extensive
business enterprise and he easily
makes the acquaintance of influential
citizens. In Detroit, II was Frank Boy
dell.
"He represents that he has letter
Of credit from some well-known bank
In another city. The influential citi-
zen takes him to the bank and he is
introduced to the bank officials. He
then deposits the letter OF credit.
Within few days, he draws con-
siderable sum from the bank in which
the letter of credit has been placed.
Righ: after that, he disappears and the
bank Is left to discover that II has
been an easy loser"
II Is probable that Funk will be
taken to St Paul, where II is said
there are several cases pending
against him.

ORE RATES IN ]. P.
CALLED UNFAIR
John A. Topping Says Hill Roads and
Steel Trust Have Monopoly in
Superior District.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.--Continuing
the probe of the gobbling OF the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Co., by the
steel trust, the Stanley congression-
al investigation committee today
questioned John A. Topping, of the
Republic Iron and Steel Co., mem
Der of the t. G. I. syndicate, regard
ing the deal. He declared when the
syndicate was formed to get con-
troll of the T. G. l. property all Of
the members agreed that II would
be an excellent investment. He In.
sisted there was never any question
of buying the stock as speculation
Topping corroborated other wit,
nesses, regarding the enormous
value of the T. G. I. holdings and
said the T. G. | could produce pir
iron at three dollars less per tor
than any other concern I'm the world
He was not in favor OF the sale a
the trust and he told Lewis Cass Led
yard the advantages OF the 7. @.
I property simply because Grant b.
Schley told him his firm was in
trouble and had TO be helped out.
Taking up the Superior ore fields
Topping said the Hill roads and the
steel trust lines had monopoly Of
the traffic there and both charge an
Identical rate to handle ore.
"Our traffic manager and ! believe
the rates are too high" said Top
ping. I'm the Birmingham field we
can ship ore and coal up to 25 miles
at IL IL cents a ton. On the short
haHls in the Minnesota fields the
price is 20 cents for 25 miles" A
similar condition obtained, he said,
between the lake ports and Pitts
burg These rates, he said, are now
being investigated by the interstate
commerce commission.
Stanley brought out that the steel
corporation, while II nominally pays
the same rate as the independents,
In reality, through its ownership OF
both. pays out of one pocket into the
other.

KENNEDY STRONG
FOR RECIPROCITY
Aspirant for Canadian Parliament
Points Out Advantages To Essex
County Farmers.

w. G. Kennedy. of Windsor, one of
the aspirants for the nomination of the
Liberal party in North Essex for the
Dominion parliament, elections to
which are to be held Sept. 2l, Is un-
qualifedly in favor Of the present plan
CT reciprocity between the United
States and Canada.
Il am convinced" said Mr.. Kennedy
to The Times, that the proposed re-
arrangement Of the tariffs OF the two
! countries on q reciprocal Dasis will be
a good thing for Canada, especially
! for Essex county. The farmers OF
Essex pay thousands OF dollars every
year into the United States treasury
in duty. With reciprocity, they will
save all that. Reciprocity viii also
open up to them market of half
million people, Detroit This will
mean something to the Essex farmers,
for they now market most of their
products in Detroit. In this section of
tho country. we have everything to
gain and nothing to lose 5y the pass
ins of the reciprocity pact"
do you think reciprocity viii hurt
the Canadian manufacturers" Mr..
Kennedy was asFed.
NO." he replied, there is nothing
fcf the manufacturer to fear. There
is no reduction of the tariff or any
thing coming into the Dominion In a
manufactured state; 1t Is only the nat
ural products that the reciprocity pact
will affect. That Is why l am In IA
vor of the proposed revision of the

Is no ground for fear on the par or
tho Canadian manufacturer. What he
fears, however, is that the present
plan may lead 10 freer trade. a taking
on OF the duty or manufacturer goods
coming into Canada. He has no reason
to fear anything OF the sort, however.
foi there has been no intimatlon Of
anything OF the kind taking place"
The manner ir which reciprocity
affects different interests in Canada
