COPPER MINING IN CHINA.

KICH DEPOSITS DISCOVERED.

The British Consul at Kiukiang, in Chios, eporting on the trade of that district, staten that the richness of Kao Chou in copper de. posits and their very high value have been smply proyed by the investigations of an ex. pert mining engineer engaged by the Chinese provincial Government. The copper exists under most extraordinary conditions, probably resulting from an expansion of gases in the interior of the earth pushing the granite to the surface and bringing with it masses of sulpher, which, gradually evaporating, left the deposits of copper.

FRISCO'S "NEW CHINATOWN:

When the evthquake ‚of April, ag, 6, wan foll wed by the ßre which destroyed San Fran. cisco, its cititas congratulated themselves that "Chinatown was gone". These copgra tulations were caused by the fact that San Francisco's old. Chiastown was noisome and Bosanitary.
