Ar'stocracy on the Boom
By BERNARD ASTON

Germans of aristocratic quality, who will serve the state, and dominate and sup press the inferior mongrels lately pro- duced. And this ambitious plan is actu- ally to be carried out if possible by an influential group of men.
 The chief of these Is Dr. Wilibard Hentschel strong conservative. and founder of the ''Mttgart Bund," which is entirely based on race and class ex- clusiveness and makes this exclusiveness its boast. From the Mittgart Bund has offshot the Mittgart Agricultural society, which aims at breeding pure -blooded Germanic' aristocrats. The agricultural society has acquired a large parcel of ground near Jena, which it proposes to convert into human garden (Menschen- garten), where these artstocrats will be bred. In the human garden will be set tied 1000 young women and 100 young men, all of stainless ancestry, perfect physique, and high mental and moral qualities, and from these shall be bred thousands of
 race aristocrats.'' At first sight this scheme has the visionary characteristic which is possessed by the whole of the new arfstocratist movement, but the Mittgart leaguers, like the Austrian writers and lecturers. are deadly in ear nest, and they are convinced that Europe will perish unless it is supplied with some iron natural aristocrats" who will keep in order the decadent. anarchical mob.
 The plans of the Mittgart Bund are approved of by the author of "The Aris- tocratic Imperativ,' the Austrian Dr. Franz Haiser. Dr.. Haiser is well known man. who was one of the leaders of the Los Von Rom movement, and he is an acute thinker and brilliant writer. Haiser's thesis is that Europe is threat ened by the rise to power of the brain scum," that is, of clever educated men from beneath. without ancestry or tra- ditions, whose motive impulse is the de- sire for vengeance on the old, aristocratic oppressors; and who have no respect for the ethical. and conserving principles upon which civilization grew. In par tioular they are enemies of the national state founded on race, which is high form of arstocracy. christianity, mob science, capital, the renaissance, the re-

 Aristocratists want this sternly SUD- pressed; they want autocracy and aristoc- racy restored with all their rights, and also with all their duties. The restored aristocrats must save themselves and save civilization by observing truly aris- tocratic principles
 That is. they should keep their blood pure; rule and not work; leaving deba sin 2 labor. physical mental to the re- enslaved brain scum;" marry not ont or Inclination, but in the way best cal culated to produce fit aristocrats. and finally monopolize the profession of arms, for fighting is a privilege, not burden;' and the brain scum has no right to fight.
 All this is quixotic, medieval and visionary; and 1t clashes ridiculouslv with a world Of universal suffrage, labor leg lslatlon and so on. But aristocratism ha s numerous adherents among men who are in a hurry for human betternent, and are dlspleased with the meagre fruits oI democracy. peace, equility. fair play TOT all' care or the masses, and the other catchwords that prevail during the pres- ent generation. These catchwords arc contemptuously rejected by the aristi- cratists, who seriously preach that the world would be better off if it were gov erned by few stern and virtuous indi- viduals at the head of half a dozen select races.
 The Neue Freie Presse calls the propa- gandists inverted visionaries," inas- much as they expect from their own panacea all the blessings which the creouious nineteenth century expected rom it's panaceas. And generally the aristocratists have had press" Radi- cal newspapers ridicule the whole cult; and publish caricatures of the world yawning to death under aristocratist rule. For the artistocrats would sternly suppress all popular initiative and would require the "brain scum" to work pa- tiently and obediently under the prescient and inspired commands of their bettcrs.
 The philosophical source of the aristo- cratist propaganda is Friedrich Nietxsclie.

have enough ore in sight to keep us busy for 10 years or more without do- ing further development, and it is my personal opinion that we have not yeJ scratched the surface of what is to come. In the United States We think it a good copper mine if the ore will yield 1 or per cent to the ton. Here if the ore does not assay more than i per cent we throw it away. Our aver age is about per cent or more and We have taken out some which has yielded 40 per cent to the ton"
 During my stay here I have gone coWn into the mines They already comprise about 40 miles of underground workings, although where they are nov mining tto operations are confined to a space of about one mile by mile and half. The mines are worked from the 200 to the 600-foot level and tests have been made which show that the copper goes down far below.
 Entering the shaft, We dropped to the 400-foot level, and then took the electric trolley which carries the ore through the narrow tunnels to the shaft. The tunnels are so small that We could barely stand upright within them. and from the center of the track one could easily reach the sides of the walls. Some of the tunnels are tim bered with Peruvian eucalyptus, or with Oregon p'ne, but everywhere the work is so scientifically done that the rock in most cases upholds the walls Here and there we stopped in a cham Der where the miners were taking out ore. The machinery is of the very latest invention, and the drilling is done with compressed air The work men are Cholos or native Peruvians who are paid from 60 cents and upward a day. They make excellent miners and some of them do quite as well men of the same class in the states They work in eight-hour shifts with two shifts a day The shifts are so arranged that the second stops at o'clock in the morning, so that all of the men can sleep part of the night
 Everything is managed after the most improved mines of the states and this same plan Is preserved in all the operations of the work. About 15O sam

ples of or G are assayed every day. and the miners know exactly what they are doing. They have curious way of determining, without scientific as- say, as to whether the ore Is valuable or not. This is by means of a tal1ow candle, They light the candle and by dusting it with the ore. the copper in it gives forth a green flame, the color of which shows just about the percent age of metal the ore contains. As went through the mine with Mir Glidden, the assistant manager, he made such a test and told me that the car of ore averaged probably about l2 per cent.
 During our journey We went from cham Der to chamber now walking through the tunnels and now jumping aside to let the cars pass. The whole of the under ground workings are a beehive of indus try and the work of getting out the copper goes steadily on without friction. The mines so arranged that the ears are loaded by gravity, and the mining is most economically done.
 In going through the tunnels we used acetylene, the carbolic for which comes from the United States, and every miner we met had an acetylene lamp on his cap. The manager find that this is much cheaper than candles. The mines are worked by electricity, which is now gen. erated by steam, but the company is installing great electric plant at Oroya about 70 miles away, where they own a stream with fall which will generate about 15.000 horse power. Within a short time all of their works here and at the great shelter and also at the associate mines of Morococha, will be operated by the fall of this river. At present the steam is produced by coal from the com fal, OF miles from Cerro de Pasco. They use this to make coke for the smelter and they have great duarries of almost pure lime stone, half way between the mines and the shelter, which is only six miles dis tant and 200 feet lower down.
 During my stay I have spent some time at the shelter. The place is known by the Peruvian name of La Fundicion. The works are situated on the side of the

 In it's purchase of the mines the com pany included a great deal of land 1t has here a hacienda which covers about 100000 acres. It would take day and half to ride all around it. This ha- cienda is highly mineralized, but the title to such lands in Peru gives only surface rights. and any one can pros pect and claim any mine he discovers. In addition to the mines the syndicate owns through one of it's branch com panies, great copper property at Morococha, where. l am told, the ore is even richer than that at Cerro de Pasco, The mines there are almost three miles above the sea level and the y arc now being worked. They are not far from the Central railway and they will have down grade all the way to the seacoast at Callao. starting within q few miles of the mines.
 Indeed. it is hard to realize the values in the copper which is being found here at the top of the Andes. The ore which is now coming out of Cerro de Pasco averages from to 10 per cent of pure metal. That means that there are 200 pounds of copper in each ton. From a single ton of ore they are now getting
 
 per- $10 worth of silver and $2 worth of gold. This represents the values in the rock at the mines and, of course the expenses of getting it to the mar a dozen directions. How big this mass be considered. Nevertheless, it is doubt ful whether there is any other place in the world which has such valuable copper deposits and but few where the deposits are of such enormous extent So far the Americans know that they have great mass of ore right under this city with vains running out in dozen directions. Tow big this mass is they have not discovered. They have been going down deeper and the cop per is richer all the way. Said one of the superintendents to me:
 You might compare the copper for nations here to your hand. Let the palm represent the great mass and your fin gers the veins. As it is now we are working on one of the veins and we

 This renascence of aristocracy is par ticuarly marked in Austria and Italy. but there are signs of it also in Germa Y and in the small North European states. The propagandists of aristocracy are not pohlcians, but thinkers and writers. Their aim is not merely to put back into power the present somewhat dishevelled forces of conservatism. but to re-estab blish race and individual aristocracy as prin- ciple of light and leading: to cast down the popular notion of race equality, and to provide tutelage, ba sed on blood, spirit, power and nobility, over the decadent materialistic. mongrel civilza- tions which sprang up in the nineteenth century.
 This, in sense, is all rhetoric, but most of the new aristocratists have so far not got farther than rhetoric. and cynical defenders of things as they are proclaim that they will never get any farther. The main interest in the prop aganda IS that it indicates a general dlscontent with the standards and meas ures of today, and shows how little the popularly accepted shibboeths about progess impress thinking men,
