WAGES AND EFFICIENCY.

An explanation of the reason why British Wnrkingmen receive much lower wages than those of the United States is furnished by J. Ellis Barber in an article in the Forlnightly Review entitled, "Greal Britain's Poverty and It's Causcs.' He shows that the av- craze weekly wages of the l,- 656,9l5 adult Wurkmen in Great Britain are only thirty shlllings, or about S1.3O. tie quotes fig ures from the British Board of Trade report showing that in 1909 one person in twenty-One receiN- ed aid under tho poor law, and he says that thirty per cent of the British population lives "on the verge of hun9er.' The ma jority of this thirty per cent he says, consists, not of "idlers, l"afers, shirkers, tramps and professional beggarS, but of WOIhthS tHStACCt III "toiCI- Pi'- ducing industries.
 Mr. Barber's explanation of this poverty is that, because la bor is cheap, British industries rely largely on hand labor. The population of the United Kingdom is about half that of the%Enited States, but much larger pEopor- tion is employed in factories, yet the total horsepower used in manufacturing in Great Britain is only 8,O83,34i; while in the United States it is 18,675,376. He, therefore, attributes low wages and consequent low standard of living in Great Britain to in- efficiency of production. As al- most all industry in China and India is moved by hand, so are wages much lower in those coun- tries than in England. The great wealth and high wages of the Un- tied States are attributed by MT. Barker to the unceasing improve ment and to the superior pro- ductive capacity of our labor saving machinery. The high wages prevailing in the United States have prompted manufac- turers to substitute machinery for hand labor. They have there by been enabled to increase pro-

THE GOLD KING.

The story of the arrival of the first gold bricks from the Gold King mine will make pleasant reading 10 every person in Val dez, and especially to those who are fortunate enough to be fnan- cially interested in the company Their arrival marks another ep- och in the history of mining in this district and is an indication of what the futurei has in store for Valdez when the mines around it have been developed.
 For more than three years the Cliff has been the only producer and it now has been joined by the Gold Kiig. Other mills have been installed, OF are now in course of erection, and when they get to working they too will be sending in gold bricks to the banks here. Next season will see a great increase in the number of pro- ducing properties as many are under development but have not yet reached the stage where they will warrant the erection of mills. It is only question of de- velopment as few of the proper ties in this district have failed to respond to work in most gratifying manner. The lack of capital with which to carry on the development of the properties has been crying need.
 One feature of the story of the Gold King Mine that is refresh ina is to heau those who are most concerned speak in the highest terms of the management of the prOperty. Mr.. Crawford seems to have accomplished wonders in transporting supplies to the mine under the circumstances. The fact that he has been able to take in the mill and supplies, erect the mill and send down gold bricks in the space of few months silreIy entities him to a place at the head of the class as a "huStler.'

CONTRACTORS BACK
 FROM PORT WELLS

Chas. Larson, Ted Johnson and Ncls Ulander, who have been working on the Tatum property at Port Wells for Col. Willard, have finished their contract and returned to town last night on the Brighton. The property is said to have responded to devel- npmcnt in wonderful manner and it is estimated that fully Sl00, ,O0O worth of ore has been blocked out.
 Jack Irwin, one of the locatOrs of the property which is now owned by Col. Willard and assO- ciales, was also a passenger on the Brighton. !He has spent the summer prospecting in the Port Wells district and is delighted with the manner in, which the ground is showing up, for all though he has disposed of it mo- thing would please him better than to see Col. Willard make mill lions from the property.

Artificial Marble.

Considerable interest is taken in an
invention by citizen of Reichenberg,
Bohemia, Of a process for producing a
substitute for all classes of marble, in
cluding the most highly priced Italian,
Egyptian, and Salzburg marbles. The
claim Is made that this product is su-
perior to genuine marble, being much
stronger, more substantial, and less
liable to crack or damage, and that es-
pecially in working, boring or in in
stalation work the danger of injury
Is much less than with real marble,
while it costs one one-third as much
The artificial marble is made partly
by hand and partly by machine. The
cutting and polishing is done by ma
chinery. the process being already in
operation in Vienna, Berlin, Mannheim
and Hamburg, and arrangements have
been made for selling the right to pro-
duce it in France and Russia, while
the sale of patents to London COM
pany for England, Ireland, Scotland
and Wales is about to be consummated

Railroad Growth in China.

Milwaukee Sentinel: The first rail-
road in China, from Shanghai to Woo
sung, distance of eleven miles, was
publicly opened thirty-seven years
ago today. The putting locomotives
aroused CONSERVATION and fear in the
hearts of the Chinese, and the line
had to be constantly guarded to pre-
vent them from tearing up the track.
So great was the public clamor that
the government bought the road, in
tending to destroy it, but this decision
was reversed, and operation was re-
sumed in 1877. In the following year,
however, the tracks were torn up and
all the portable property of the pio-
neer Chinese railway was removed to
Formosa. In few years other short
lines were constructed, and opposition
to the innovation gradually died out.
In 1903 China had $500 miles of rail-
way in operation, and 1870 miles have
been completed since then, while over
1000 miles more are projected or
building. A great national system of
railways, reaching every part of China,
to be built and operated by the gov
ernment is one Of the proposals of
the republican regime, and the work
ing out of the plan has been Entrusted

and Sullivan operas will be sung as
long as the English language remains,
"Plnafore" was more than an opera :

and was sung in America good, bad
and indifferently by those who sailed
under the British Jack, but never so
badly that it entirely spoiled Gilbert's s
humor or Sullivan's melodies.
When "The Mikado" came along the
international copyright was in force
and Gilbert and Sullivan were protect
ed both in purse ana reputation in
America.

In those days. 1t was the cause of the

Russell and Tommy Russell came up
by the "Pinafore" route, and Julia
Marlowe's first appearance on the
stage was in juvenile "Pinafore"
company. So "Pinafore" unlocked the
door for myriad performers and among
them many who afterwards became
world famous.
And after all it's years of service in
introducing those who have made us

are still upon the fitful stage Of life,
1t has come to the real heyday of it's

Dick Deadeye and Little Buttercup,
