A FEW BORZOI OFFERINGS
THE SHIELD. Wherein the most eminent
pure-blooded Russians condemn their coun-
try's treatment of the Jews. Edited by
Gorky, Andreyev and Sologub. 12mo, cloth,
$1.25 net.
This very notable book was recently pub-
lished in Russia by the Society for the Study
of Jewish Life—an organization to which only
pure-blooded Russians are allowed membership
—and the very existence of which will come
as a surprise to most Americans. The present
English version consists of selections of the
very best of the many contributions which ap-
peared in the original Russian edition. How-
ever each article and story here printed is in
itself complete.
RUSSIA'S MESSAGE, by William English
Walling, 8vo, cloth, with over 20 new illus-
trations. $1.50 net.
A new, revised, and cheaper edition of this
hook, which has long been out of print, is
especially apropos now when Russia s liber-
alizing is no longer a theory but a fact. It
contains much valuable material gathered at
first hand by Mr. Walling and never made
available elsewhere. This is true particularly
of a large section devoted to the most import-
ant factor in Russia, and one which Americans
know shockingly little about, the peasant.
MODERN RUSSIAN HISTORY, by Alexan-
der Kornilov, translated from the Russian
by Alexander S. Kaun, with maps. Two
volumes, octavo buckram, gilt tops, boxed.
$5.00 net per set.
This is the only work in English that brings
the history of Russia right down to the pres-
ent. Its author, whose point of view is liberal,
is one of the most popular lecturers in Petro-
grad, where he is a professor at the Politech-
nicum of Peter the Great.
THE JOURNAL OF LEO TOLSTOI, edited
by Tchertkov; translated from the Russian
by Rose Strunsky. 12mo, cloth, $2.00 net.
It is no accident that Toistol is read far
more than any other Russian, for when all is
said and (lone he remains, as he probably will
remain, the greatest of all the great writers
Russia has produced.
Come in and browse among this remarkable collection of the world's best
literary products, which also includes the best works of some of our greatest
contemporary American writers.

CHRONICLE
Tribute to Minin
The president of a large National Bank in Chicago was
under criticism by the presidents of several other banks be-
cause of his investment in a gold and copper mine in the
Rocky Mountains. In reply he said :
"Through the Rocky mountains, ages ago, God Almighty
built stronger vaults in His granite banks than we have in
our own. He filled his vaults with gold, silver and copper.
"He gave the prospector knowledge and insight, and•
guided him on his way to the door of the vaults He had
built.
"The federal government handed him a title to all
therein.
"It is not a crime, but a virtue to enter. With drill,
blast pick and spade, the prospectors have broken the com-
bination locks and entered, but for Him our notes of issue
would be as the Stump-tail- currency of 1857, but for Him
this government of ours would be bankrupt.
"Mines will be producing millions in gold, silver and
copper in that future (lay when National Banks are un-
known. •
"A mine contains a crop already raised, harvested and
on deposit in the bank for you to check against at your
pleasure.
"The wealth gathered from the mines immortalized King
Solomon.
"Mining has made Great Britain the commercial dic-
tator.
"Mining has made the United States the richest country
in the world.
"Show me a country without mines and I will show you
a people sunk in degradation, and poverty makes cowards
of nations as well as individuals.
"Mining has transformed more poor men into million-
aires and raised them to positions of honor and trust than
any other business.
"Mining has scored less than 35 per cent of failures
against 95 per cent of failures shown in the general mer-
chandising business of the United States.
"Without the production of the mines you would have
neither a frying-pan, a spoon, a hat-pin nor a monetary
circulating medium.
"There are today many mines that are 'in the making'
with rare possibilities for the future.
"Most of the really great mines of the United States
were once disdainfully regarded by those investors who
pride themselves upon being conservative, but the persons
who have the ability to recognize intrinsic merit in a prop-
erty, the courage of their convictions, and the patience to
await development are generally rewarded many fold in
dividends and marked appreciation when the 'little mine'
becomes a 'big mine.'
"There is no doubt that the application of modern meth-
ods to mining problems has greatly increased the number
of successful mining enterprises.
"The fact is that the recovery of ores has been reduced
to what practically amounts to manufacturing. .
"Engineers' Reports, Letters from Arizona Bankers,
Recent Telegrams from the Superintendent, Checks from
the Smelter, all tend to indicate that the Dripping Springs
Copper Company has one of the 'Little Mines' that is des-
tined to become one of the 'Big Mines,' one of the: vaults
that God Almighty built in the Rocky Mountains."
.This Dripping Springs Copper Stock is now selling at
one dollar per share—on and after May 23 it will be two
dollars per share.
