Verily, for deepest mine—gold or of any other metal—is located in Brazil. It is near a place hearing the euphonious name of Villa Nove de Lima, in the State of Minas Geraes, about 330 miles north of Rio de Janeiro. Tt has been worked, more or less sys- tematically, for something over 80 years, and yet few of us in the United States have ever heard of the place, much less of the mine, which known as the Morro Velho and owned and operated by an English company Found by vear two young professors Benjamin Le Roy Miller, University, and Joseph Singewald.

Not onlv the stream gravels vielded gold, but many gold-bearing quartz veins were worked. Depth 5,824 Feet Just when the Morro Velho mine was first opened is not known, but it was being operated toward close of the 17th century and considerable work had been done when the present company obtained control of it In 1834. The ore body consists of a great vein of unusual persistence and reg- ularity that dips into the earth at an angle of about 45 degrees. It may be likened to a gigantic knife blade, held vertically and thrnst into the earth at this angle with the point still lower than the present deepest workings. An it is these workings that make the mine remarkable. The combined depths of the connected shafts give a total of 5,824 feet. Tn other words, here is a gold mine that is being worked at a depth of more than a mile below the surface of the earth. Now be it remembered that the rock temperatures increase as the earth crust is penetrated, in some regions the increase being as much as 1 degree F. for each 50 to 60 feet increase in depth. At this rate the temperature at the bottom of this mine would be over 100 de- grees higher than at the surface, and fried ham and eggs might be pro parcd for the miners without any other heating apparatus than the loose rocks lying about. TIncident- ally the mines would be going through the frying process too. For- tunately, however, in this mine the rate of increase of temperature is only 1 degree for every 100 to 120 feet, giving the rocks a temperature of only 112 degree. By forcing cool- ed air down into the mine by means of fans the temperature is lowered 10 a little less than 100 degrees. Even at that it is rather snug, and the miners usually wear only shoes, don- ning trousers when company is e pected. Still, the mine has produced a total of about $55.000,000 worth of gold, and is being worked now at a profit of something over $700,000 annually. s BROWN STAY AT HARVARD.

STOP GERMAN TRADE WAR AFTER PEACE. House of Commons Urges Britain to Exert Economic Pressure London, Jan. 11.—The debate in the house of night was chiefly remarkable for the unanimity to exert the largest possible degree of economic pressure on Germany and recommending that steps should immediately be taken to prevent from German trade warfare directed against the allies after peace is signed. A resolution was adopted without division “that, with a view to increas- ing the power of the allies in the ecution of the war, his majesty enter into imme- diate consultation with the govera- ments of the dominions in order, with commons iast their aid, to bring the whole econom- | ic strength of the empire to co-opera- tion with the allies in a policy directed against the enemy Principal Speccl. The principal speech was made by ter C. Runciman, president of the board of trade, whose emphatic dec- tion on the importanc of main- ning British trade were regarded largely directed towards making the position which caused him to hesitate to endorse Premier As- quith’s compulsion policy last week “While the war it on,” he said, “we must do everything in our power to cripple and destroy German finance, credit and trade, at the same time building up our own and allies’ and laying the foundation future action when peace comes.” Refer to U. In the course of the debate there was some allusion to the danger of co-operation with the United States which one member declared would be 2 more formidable competitor after the war than Germany. To this John Halford Mackinder, unionist for Glas- gow, teplied, expressing the affection of Great Britain for Americ: “The member Las spoke of Ame 1 a dangerous commercial rival, he said, “but he cannot conceive of that competition taking the complex, scietific and destructive form of Germany competition our for An Economic Key. e of German eco- fter the guns have 1 their way, is the object of : tion made by William Albert Hewins, member for Hereford, urging the government to enter into imme- diate consultation with the ments of Great Britain's the matter. “The To meet the me nomic warfare key to the whole German any | govern. | ing classes not to enlist Which I ever dominions on | r s America feeds There Warsaw Poland ir. to death unle said Mr. Hamilton. 175,000 refugees in land 4,500,000 altogether in who are living chiefly in holes {the ground and in the trees in the forests.

All Wheat Required. Seconders of his motion claimed | that all the wheat she required within the empire, Great Britain could get with a handsome margin for distribu- tion among the allies, and, when South African supplie were forth- coming, would be independent of Ar- gentina for meat.

The discu sion was still under way when the house adjourned. Premier Asquith announced that he will allow two days for debate on the second reading of the compulsion bill, beginning tomorrow. Runciman’s Speech. Walter Runciman, president board of trade. won tremendous ap- by a speech in which he de- clared that the entente allles must take steps to see that Germany is un- able to carry on a trade war against them after peace is signed “There are signs,” he said, last Germany is beginning to 1\l economic pressure of our block- ade.

We must make it clear, however, that when peace comes we: will not per- mit the outbreak of the economic war which Germany would wage against elves and our allies.” Dismiss Free Trade. Discussing the suggestion of free trade within the British empire, Mr. Runciman remarked that the domin- Britain were not likely methods or their at- titude toward the mother country. The colonies were determined 1o raise their revenue and to foster their industries in their own way, and he was afraid the idea of free trade within the empire must be dismissed. T feel the same way of the pro- posed Zollverein to include all the allies, but if such an arrangement proves essential to end the war suc- cessfully, we shall have it, for there is no arrangement that the allies are not prepared to make to that end.” 2 tions of Great to alter their Recuperate After War. He declared that the British em- pire would recuperate after the war faster than any other country. “Then it will be our duty,” he added, ‘“to aid, as far as we can, France, Ri\- ia, Ttaly and our other allies. I would even add Germany at the bottom of the list, for no man would wish to see a period of prolonged poverty in Germany. “But we have the right to demand that, in the recuperation of Germany, nothing be done which will make Italy, France, Russia or Great Britain suffer. “oreover, T am not prepared to wait for the end of the war to take steps to deal with this matter. It has been all along the policy of the Brit- ish board of trade to capture Ger- man trade while the war is still on. In the case of South America, have, since the war began, developed a trade which I hope will continue long after the cessation of hostilities, Have Worked Wonders. “British traders, despite the handi- cap of the war, have worked won- ders in trade development. We have completely broken down the German monopolies in optical glass, dyes, elec- trical apparatus and certain chemi- cals, and these monopolies will not again be renewed. The policy of the board of trade is that there shall be no essential article, either for the arts of peace or war, that we cannot produce within either Great Britain or the empire. “I fully appreciate that one of the first necessities is the improvement of our research methods and the technical education of the rising gen- eration. There is also need for im- provements in banking; need for helping young, growing firms; need for putting the matter of patents and coyprights on a different basls.” FIRE AT KRUPP WORKS Amsterdam, Jan. 11.—According to the “Frankfurter Zeitung,” consid- erable damage has been done the Krupp works at Mosen by a fire that occurred on Saturday.
