TO IMPORT CHINESE MINERS Want 100.000 Orientals In Soutb Africa On Contract for Term of r' ... Tears. " r San Francisco, April 21. The feasi bility of Importing Chinese laborers to work in the gold mines of the Trans vaal is a question which H. Ross Skin ner, and H. H. Noyes, at present in thi3 city, are now on their way to the Orient to Investigate. , "Sine the close of the ' Boer war.", said Mr. Noyes. "mining in South Af rica has gone ahead with tremendous strides but the future development of the Industry is seriously hampered by the want of cheap labor. There la not i sufficient Kaffir labor to operate the mines and the Chamber of Mines of Ssouth Africa has accordingly under taken to solve the labor question by looking into the feasibility of import ing Chinese laborers. The idea of em ploying white labor is out of the ques tion. White men will not work along side of Kaffirs. We think, however, that under wise governmental regula tions we will be able to get sufficient Chinese labor to meet -the conditions. Mr. Skinner and myself are now on our 1 way to the orient to report to the Cha mber of Mines on the capability of the "E have inugurated follows: Dry Goods, m Robuuareber il M Hires f I l Rootbeer I a t T11 ftaUst iprlnf tonic I IS l0Da' Hold tvenrw here, ; IS i or brnuUlfor oeot.

The announcement that the title which the Panama Canal Company can transfer to the I'nlted States is satis factory, advances the canal-bulKling project materially. It was feared that a satisfactory title could not be ob tained.

A fair trial wil convince you of Its value. The genuine has our Private Stamp over the neck of the bottle. FELL 150 FEET. Soft Mud Checked Fall, but Gave Him a Close Call. Chicago, April 21.
