The ore taken out by the Indians is now largely copper, although most of 1t carries more or less silver. The real value of the mines is in the copper, the ere containing more and more copper as the mining goes down. The silver, which near the surface often assayed 100 ounces to the ton, has gradually fallen in qual- ity until it is now less than 10. All of the ore. however, has more or less gold and silver in it and the American com pany finds that the costs of the mining are paid by the precious metals, the cop Ter being almost pure profit. The copper is far richer than that in the mines of the United States from which our great sup plies come.
 It was the great copper value that at tracted the attention of American capi- talists to Cerro de Pasco and today Syndivate composed of some of our richest men have bought the mines here and they are operating them on scale such as exists nowhere else on this continent Among the members of the syndicate are such men as J E. Haggin, Henry C. Prick, the Vanderbilts, the Hearst estate and others. These men have already spent tens of millions of dollars in de- veloping the property and they have mines here that are worth. I am told, at least $500O0.OOO The business is not stock proposition. The shares are not quoted on the exchange and so far as l know no stock has ever been offered for sale The operation of the mines is on a plain business basis. No expense is spared to produce economic results and for some years the company sank millions without being absolutely sure of return. Today their mines are worked at profit, and this has been the case for several years back. In 1907 they shipped over 2O,- 0O0,000 pounds of copper and the shelter near here is now turning out 100000 pounds of copper matte every month. This matte goes to New York. where as l have said, the gold and silver in it about pays the expenses of mining and reduction, leaving the copper as almost clear gain.
 The extent of the operations of this American syndicate is almost inconceiv- able. They have come here to the tops of the Andes, at an altitude of almost three miles above the sea. and have de- veloped industry which would be enormous in any part of the world. They have built a smelter about six miles from here which surpasses anything on the South American continent and which in many respects is like nothing else ever known. They have built up a town there and they practically support this city of Cerro de Pasco. They have thousands of men in their employ, and there are per haps 6O00 or 5000 Indians or native Pe- ruvians working in the mines and the smelter. They have within about 25 miles from Cerro de Pasco great mines of bituminous coal, which they have con- nected by railroad with this town and the smelter. and they make their own coke and furnish their own fuel. They have built standard-gauge railroad, which is by far the best in Peru, from Cerro de Pasco to Oroyo, and they have more than 100 miles of track. over which cars go as smoothly any in the states, and that nothwithstandng the altitude of the road ranges from l2,000 to 14.oOO above the sea It is this road that connects them with

1t is like expecting a man to

to expect an amateur in sports to
keep out of the professional

You can't dabble with athletics

Out of every 100 men who en-

But pride of conquest carried

exacted so much time and energy
that they untitled themselves for

had to make 1t a business. The
