But at the rate at which we're ox- hageting our natural resources, it 1s time that we began to concentrate Om this question of the elimination of Waste and the utilization of by- products, 4 concern now operating. near Saeramento, Cal, affords a 00d ex- ample of what can be accomplished im this direction. This company, backed by Knglish capital, began operations in gold dredging. The @round proved to be productive and econ aditional dredges were ac- quired, A gold dtedge, by the way, Costs approximately $100,000, The chief investment, howe er, in this line of business is the purchase of land in which to operate. In the locality in which this concern was Sotive land cost from $500 to $1,000 per acre, And the passage of the dredge rendered it useless for any Known purpose, It was left a bar- ren waste, consisting of parallel tidgee of mixed earth and stones measuring about twenty feet in height. = Dredging companies have always figured the land a lead loss after the gold was extranted. But the manager of this particular concern was not satisfied with this conclusion. “I wonder if we can’t crush those rounded pebbios and find a market for them?" he reflected. He began to in- Vestigate; called in some experts and learned that he had an idea! material for conversion into gravel for road surfaces. Machinery was promptly in- stalled and a large proportion of the firat cost of the land was returned from the revenue of this branch of the business, The operation of this side line put the ground back into approximately ‘evel condition, extracted the gold and utilized the stones, it seems as though we ought to be able to turn the land to some purpose—the I wonder if \t_wouldn't grow eucalyptus?” Eucalyptus, of which there are more than the famous fifty-seven varieties, is a tree imported from Australia, which thrives mightily on the Pacific Coast. It grows at an incredible speed and at the age of fifteen or twenty years js worth about $5,000 per acre as standing timber. Experiments proved that the ground was splendidly adapted to this pur- pose. Hence the stockholders of this concern now derive dividends from three sources—gold, gravel and lum- ber: truly a triumph of conservation of by-products, Look Out for This Bunco Man. Late one afternoon some weeks ago the writer was seated in the studio of @ commercial artist awaiting the completion of a drawing. Suddenly we heard a knock, and in response to the artist's hait in stalked a tall, ministerial! looking individual laden with two heavy sample cas “How do you do, Mr. Blank?” said the visitor, relieving himself of his burden and approaching the artist with outstretched hand. "I came Into the building to see Mr. Jones, whose studio {s downstairs, but fortunately for you he js out, and thus I ina position to offer you the most won- derful opportunity that has over been open to you. I got in from Portland this afternoon and must leave for Providence to-night, but still there's plenty of time to arrange this little deal.’ ‘What deal?” inquired the artist, without enthusiasm. “Mr. Blank,” said the stranger, am the representative of the Inte tional Wax Company, one of the most colossal organizations in existence. And I am hore to appoint representative for this city. paused to permit this stupendoun ut- terance to sink in. “But I'm no business man,” objected Blank. ‘m an artist, or claim to be. I've no tire to spare on this proposi- ton. “But wait till T explain, Mr. Blank,” continued the munificent visitor, en thusiastically.

You'd etter tle up with me, We'll just step down with my partner and, if everything s satisfactory, Day you your money to- night.” Biank’s studio was located in the top story of an ancient rookery. He had no telephone. My idea was to phone headquarters; get a detective on the way and to engage the man's atcention in the mean time. But our generous friend was wary bird. “vm ot tlemen.” was hi T ponse as he glanced at his watch. “but L find I simply haven't time to close this deal.
