years ago. The original capital out of
which this vast profit was made wss

American Tobacco company. The
French government supervises the
growing OF all tobacco and the planters

twenty factories are permitted to
work upon this tobacco and cigars are

Proposition Well Received.
The details Of the plan to develop
the Castle Rock, which appeared In
the last issue Of the Miner, attracted
much attention. and w. g. Lively and
Il, Limacher, who have charge of

A Roseate Future.
THE mines there have shipped more

at present is concerned, l can see only
a roseate future. There are no labor
troubles on the horizon at present, and
the entire district looks as though all

Would Require English Language.
Personally, am in favor of the law
recently passed in Nevada, by which
the mine owners are compelled to en-
ploy only men who speak English
Speaking from my own experience,
know that a lot of these foreigners
wreck more material and machinery
than they are worth, and would rath-
er pay a man dollar day more if
was sure that he was a competent mi
ner than to pay less and take chances
on the grade of labor furnished by men
who can't understand what you say,
and yet claim to be miners, and, there
fore, are admitted into the unions.
Cause Of Accidents.
ut is to such men that we owe a
lot of the accidents and fatalities Of
quartz mining that otherwise would
not happen, and these men are the first
to come back on the companies when
they are injured. Give us the intelli-
gent miner who knows his business
