GREAT MINE NEAR N. '.
 IS BEING EXPLORED
NIL. T. Selects This as Place where Students Will Take Special
 Course.

New York, Sept. 19 R-Forty miles from Broadway, where NC" Workers delve into underground pas sages called subways in order to get somewhere, a group of students from Cambridge are proving about the caverns of the earth to "get some where" in the mining industry.
 Few New Workers know that al most in one of their suburbs lies a great magnetic iron ore belt and mining field almost as old as the na- ton that has been chosen by the Massachusetts Institute of Technol- oey as a training ground for the men who are learning to be mining en- gineers. Yet almost i'll the shadow ol the glaring lights on Broadway these students gather each year in the New Jersey highlands to work their prob lens while they sniff the swedish odor of burned powder and wet earth.
 The technology camp is about three miles west of Dover, N. J., on Mine Hill, that looks out over the Succasunna plains and Lake Hopat- cong. The ore field was discovered in 1640, only a few years after the founding of New York, and Jersey ore subsequently, played an impor- tant part in the early history of the country.
 It was in great demand during the revolution. While, from an economic standpoint, the mines are not as pro- ductive as the mines along Lake Su- perior, the fact that geological for nations Of almost every age are found in the district adds to its value as a field Of instruction,

AUGUSTA GIRL WAS
BRIDE OF FAMOUS
ENVOY TO CHINA

Hattie Webster. an Augusta girl,
married DR.. Peter Parker, the first
medical missionary to China, a fact
which is very little known right here
In her home town, but which papers
IN the family of Mrs. S. S. Webster,
reveal. Mrs. Peter Parker was
great aunt of Miss Blanche Webster
OF this city. DR.. Parker graduated
from Yale in 1890 and passed a few
more years in the practice of medi-
cine and theology in New Haven. to
further fit himself In 1884 he went
to Canton, where the next year he
established a hospital. At that time,
the Empire was practically closed
to the foreigner. Efforts had pre-
viously been extended to the Chinese,
who were utterly ignorant of the
science of medicine and surgery and
an infirmary for the poor had been
opened at Macao as early as 1920.
In 1910. war broke out between
England and China. the hospital
was closed and DR.. Parker returned
to America, 1t was then that he met
Hattie Webster. She was in WASH
ington at the time and was consider
ed belle of the social life. She was
very beautiful. The medical mis-
their engagement was announced.
The wedding was not to be soon, but
the doctor decided she was too
pretty and SO they were married at
once. DIR. Parker returned to China
in 1912. taking his bride with him.
The Chinese We're so grateful to DR..
Parker for his services that they
showered his wife with most costly
gifts. He was already paid by the
government and they could not pay
him.
The doctor and his Augusta born
and reared bride won the confidence
of the Chinese and became valuable
to this county so that in 1890 he
was given titlea of commissioner
with full power to revise the treaty
of 1914. He held this position for
two years, when they returned to
Washington. For many years he was
regent of the Smithsonian Institute.
A son was born iE 1850, Peter Par
ker, Jr., who recently presented the
Lithgow Library in this city, with a
rare copy of the life of DIR. Parker.
