THE. INTER OCEAN
-IS THE-
HUNTING FOR M0xAZITE.
The One Hnndred and Nineteenth an
niversary of our national independence
has oome and gone without anything
very remnrkable roenrrijg in the vicin
ity of Parker'B Mill, where yonr corre
epondent happened to be. Hewever,
the yonoi? people eeetned to erjoy the
bop, while Hie older at d more thouKht
ful, upon whose ahonlders the burdena
of responsibility weigh more heavily,
looked as if they were almost tired even
of lire, aud why should they not, sinoe
the constitution, whioh has been for so
long a time the bond of the union, has
been so grossly set aside as to deny the
riht of one of tier oitizeDS to a fair and
impartial trial prior to robbing hiia of
bis liberty, and the burden of taxation
ba, by a decision of the supreme oourt,
been squarely thrown upon the should
rs of the laboring man, whom we used
to think was the nerve and baokbnoe of
every society. But perhaps Washing.
ton, Jefferson, CUy, Webster, Linooln
and a host of others were all wsong
while our school books oDly taught a
multiplicity of errors, and the elite, the
nerve and backbone of all society was
really those who possessed the aooumu
lation of vast wealth. But f suoh was
the oase, then our government lived a
long time on but little nerve and less
backbone, and where did our soldiers of
the revolution get the strength that car
ried them through the well fought bat
tles, so like men of backbone?
If you tell me that the wealthy are
the stay of aooiety, then my patriotic
heart begins to swell with emotions and
I very naturally cry to my countrymen
beware bow you vote lest you bring
yourselves into abject servitude to the
money power.
We have already had an inkling of
what we may expeot if we allow the
gulden chain welded upon our pedestals
through the legislative sots of the money
power, and now that they feel oonfldent
uf their ability through their robberies
of our poblio treasury to control the sil
ver, many of tbtm are going to make a
stand upon the silver platform, thinking
to draw as many votes tiom t e different
parties as poxsible. Thus to divert the
public mind from the real issue of the
day ; the oiUHtiiug power of the bunking
system, aud to prevent us seeing the
stealthy stridesof slavery following upon
our tracks. 8iuo the money power is
manifesting uneasiness it givea me cour

The enthusiasm with which the
search tor monazite is now being pros
ecuted in the Piedmont section of
North and South Carolina is something
remarkable. Men, women and chil
dren talk about it, dream about it,
search for it, and would perhaps eat it
if it could bo prepared so that it would
be palatable. For two hundred years
the planters on the coast stumbled over
phosphate rock, which had been
brought to the surface, and considered
it of no value. Finally, says the New
York Sun, after the late war, a man of
scientific turn of mind began to investi
gate this rock, and as a result an in
dustry has sprung up that now amounts
to millions of dollars annually.
In like manner gold miners year
after year in their search for gold
along the streams of this Piedmont
section have been finding in their pans
a heavy yellowish sand which they
cast aside as worthless. This has all
been completely reversed in the last
twenty months, and nowadays a pros
pector will cast aside fair specimens of
gold while prosecuting his search for
monazite. To obtain monazite from the
hundred little streams that are found
in the monazite belt the prospector
sets out provided with shovel and pan.
With his shovel he scoops out a hole in
the bed of the stream or near by it. IIo
goes through the alluvial deposit until
he strikes a whitish sand and gravel.
Of this he takes a panful and washes it
out, carefully examining quality and
quantity. After prospecting in several
different places, he is able to decide
whether the "branch," as these small
streams are called in the south, is
worth working. II it promises well a
trial is made.
Contractors do most of the mining,
taking leases and paying a royalty of
from one-seventh to one-fifth. Occa
sionally the monazite privilege is bought
straight out, and in some instances two
hundred dollars an acre has been paid.
Sometimes, however, the owners work
their own lands.
Common, unskilled laborers are cm
ployed to do the work. "Strippers"
are tho hands who clear away the top
soil, removing all timber growing
thereon. They go down to the sand
and gravel. The gravel gang comes
next. They carefully lift out all of the
monazite sand and turn it over to tho
washers, who get out all gravel, silver,
and clay, leaving a mixture of heavy
material behind. 1 his goes through a
second washing, and the material left
Is marketable monazite.
Tho washing la done in a wooden
trough from twelve to eighteen feet In
length, twelve inches wide and twelve
decn. Tlior" Is r """it, vo-fnntrd j
plate at the upper cnii of the Oox,
through which tho monazite drops,
while the lighter htulT and clay llo:it
away. A stream of water flows through
the box. Lxpcrt wasliern reei-ive one
dollar a day, but there nro plenty of
men who do this work fairly well,
and are anxious to work at hixt.y-(lvo
cents per day. Ovi-roeer and time
keepers receive one tlnllur and a half. :
This is considered fair wages down
south, where there in little demand for
day labor now. i
The hand Is about as current m gold
dust, six cents a pound being the aver
age prii'e. It is estimated that a group
of wcll-nmniiged bandit will make
twice their daily wages. Letters of In-,
qulry come from all countries seeking
information about monazite, and, judg
ing by the number and character of
these received by the geological eurvey
from vurjous LuroM-an countries, the
Industry and the amount of money
brought into this Piedmont section for
monazite this year will hardly amount
to less than one hundred thousand dol
lar. Monazite has been found in
small quanliliea in Russia, Norway,
llohemlu, and in gold washings in Ura
cil and in the mica veins at Quebec,
but nowhere has it been found in such
enormous quantities as In this belt. j
A Gloucester (N. J.I compuny is the
only concern manufacturing monn.ite
In this country. The valun of sand tie
js nds upon the rare uictul, thorium,
which It contains, which is separated
from the associated material by very
complicated chemical processet, which
arc kept secret from every one except
those who manipulate tho operation.

An&QXMEEW PURE
COLONIES FOR THE WEST.
Surplus Population or the Eat to Settle
on A rlil Western Lands. i
It has been years since the cry of
"Westward, ho!" has been heard in the
eastern states, and meantime the cities
and thriving manufacturing centers
east of tho Mississippi have been rapid
ly filling to the point of overcrowding,
until labor is a drug on tho market.
Mining, which attracted so many hun
dreds of people from tho east many
years ago, has lost its glamour, hunting
and trapping have too many devotees
already to encourage more to enter
this life to-day, granger life on the
western scale requires too much capi
tal and the too-plentiful foreclosure of
western farm mortgages has been dis
couraging to those who may have been
considering emigration. All theso
things have tended to stagnate tho
population of the east, and the result
is alarming to all concerned, capital
and labor alike.
An opportunity has presented itself
at dast, through what is known as the
Carey law, passed by the Fifty-third
congress, by which each of eight west
ern states was granted one million
acres of arid land located within their
borders on condition that they utilize
them for agriculture, through irriga
tion, and prove to the secretary of tho
interior that their irrigation plans ore
feasiblo.
Five of the eight states have accepted
the proposition, and one moro is ex
pected to reply favorably before long.
The national irrigation congress, a
body composed of delegates from twenty-three
western states, has appointed
a national irrigation commission, which
body is engaged in forming colonies to '
take up these arid lands and carry them
on by irrigation under proper and scien
tific direction.
Some of the details of the scheme
are given in the ltoston Transcript. It
is the purpose of the commission to
form colonial clubs throughout the east,
wherever there is a congestion of popu
lation, and these clubs will disseminate
information concerning the present and
future possibilities of tho western coun
try. It is not intended to send out sepa
rate families, which would certainly
liecome entangled in dilllculties, if not
properly directed. Whole colonies are
to be organized and dispatched to fa
vorable localities, wilh men competent
to teach them tho solution of tho prob
lem, of irrigation und agriculture.
These colonists it is proposed to orfinn
izo on the principles upon which the
successful Mormon colonics were car
ried on. An organization, to be known
ns the Plymouth colony, is now being
formed lo take up lands in Iduho. Kuch
member of this colony Ih to furnish
one thousund dollars capital. Tho land
Is lo be taken in small holdings, und
the whole managed on the basis of a co
operative village.

SELLS
How the
SLAVS GIRLS.
Queen or Cores Sustains Bar
Itnyal Purse.
There are slave girls innumerable
around the royal palaces of the hermit
kingdom of Corea, says the Philadel
phia Press. It is difficult to find out
how many there are. One official will
say hundreds, another thousands. A
consul who has had opportunity to learn
the facts in the case says there are
about fifteen hundred.
It is equally difficult to learn where
they come from. Their appearance
shows that they are not trom any one
stock. Some are Coreans and some are
Tonghaks, from Guing-Shang-Do, in
the south of the kingdom; some show
i Japanese blood, others Chinese and
still others Manchurian. They are of
all sorts and types. All speak Corean
and nearly all have a smattering of
Chinese. They are all well brought up
and quiet, polite and Industrious. They
I begin their career as domestic servants
when mere children and are seldom
found in tho royal establishment after
they are twenty-five years old. A few
who aro unusually . good-looking be
come royal concubines and a large
number arc taken for tho same purpose
by the princes and lords of the realm,
and, it is said, for a very large price.
Tho rest are sold as commodities to tha
highest bidder and tho proceeds paid
into the royal treasury.
The latest available blue book of
Corea 18S4 in summarizing tho royal
income, includes theso articles:

interesting fuels about the knights of
