ANCIENT CHINESE SILVER MINE
 BECOMES RICH PRODUCER

Worked by the Chinese as early as 1412 A D., the famous Bawdwin mines in upper Burma near the Chinese border are now classed among the most remarkable moder: silver-lead mines by a writer in the Engineering and Mining Journal Press of New York. The mines, now operated by the Burma Mines Co.,, a British corporation, were probably the scene of the worlds first sue cessful lead smelting operations. The article describes the methods of min ing and smelting the ore by the Chinese long before white men ever saw the property. In spite of the fact that they had no powder the patient Orientals drove 12 to 15 miles of tunnels and mined more than million tons of rich silver ore.
 BawdWin was once prosperous Chinese colony, with population of 10000, as evidenced by records and remains of temples, mosques, theatres and other public buildings and bridg- es and the thousands of graves that cover the hillside.
 It is generally supposed, on account of various discoveries and inscriptions found in the neighborhood, that Baw- dwin formed penal settlement for the Chinese government. The entire workings are surrounded by many miles of entrenchments that parallel the mountain ridges.
