toon bp well known to our
business men as Valparaiso
is now. Concfpeiofi la tv- metropolis of
southern Chll ami the outlet to the best
farming part of the country. It his rsll-

Argentina te Fuenoa Ay res. It already
takes a lance part of our American ex
poits and farm machinery and toola of all
kinds from the United State are for sale
In Its stores. Not far from It are, the treat
toal mines of Lota and within a short
street car ride la Talcahuano. the thief
naval station of the republic.
Concepcion Is the third largest city of
Ch'le. ' la surpassed only by Valparaiso
ind Santiago and It is rapidly growing;.
The town Ilea on the Bio-bro river not far
from the sea. A low ranKe of hlils sepa
rates it from the ocean. When It was first
founded It lay rifht on the beach. Then
came an earthquake that swallowed the
c't.y a the, whale a wallowed Jonah. Con
cepcion disappeared Into the maw of the
Pnclflc. It was wiped out like Port Royal.
Jamaica, and there la now onl - a bathing
resort on that apot. In rebuilding the
people chose the present site, where the
hills keep ut the waves, no that In spite
of the earthquakes the city st'll stands.
Rarihaaskn Arc Common.
I lay in spite of the earthquakes, for
there are so many that the land moves
to and fro as though It had the ague.
The quakes are almost as common as
those of Japan. We had one last night
that swayed the walia of jny hotel room
and aet the electric lights swinging. The.
first shock awakened me. It waa about
11 p. m. The experience made tne think
I was in a atorm out at sea. My bed
rose and fell and a bottle of ammonia
on the edge of my washstand dropped
to the floor with a crash. At the same
time Its pungent scent filled the room.
I looked at my watch. It was ten
minutes after 11 p. m. Aa the second
hand measured one minute T rose
and went Into the hall. The walls were
still trembling, and aa I entered the
portico looking down on the patio, a
smokestack fell down and the guests of
the hotel came running out In their
night clothes for fear that the heavy
tiled roof of the building might fall.
P.imei of them stayed outdoors all night.
I waited until the trembling of the earth
ccs and then went back to bed. But
1 could not sleep for an hour or more
for fear of tha second shock, which often
follow a first. I -finally dropped off and
Flent soundly until 4 o'clock, when the
rccoud shock came. It was quite severe,
hut not so bad aa the first. The dla
pnlchea of today'a paper ahow that these
two earthquakes have been felt all over
ChVe. They have thrown down- one small
town and the created such consternation
nt the capital that many of tta cltlxene
spent last night in the streets.
Vet Likeable Srneatlos.
I do not lika earthquake. There arc
regions where they have some kind of &
shock every day; but even there the natives-are
afraid of them, and It la only
the .Ignorant globe-trotting tenderfoot
who says he is not. The moat severe
earthquake I over experlonoed was In
1894 In the capital of Japan. . At that
time a great number of buildings were
destroyed,, the bleb ghtmnagr Qt,the Par
liament House crashed through the roof,
.and the American legation building was
almost split in twain. At the time this
earthquake occurred I waa In the house
hold department of tha mikado, having
an Interview with the high court cham
berlain concerning the empresa, about
whom I waa to write a magaalae article.
The building waa modern, and after the
atyle of tha public buildings of our coun
try. Had It been Japanese it would prob
ably have stood, but at It was tha earth
quake threw half of it to tha ground.
We saw the walla moving and felt the
floor rising and falling, when the high
Japaneao official said: "There Is an
earthquake and X think we had better
get out." At the earn time the halls
were filled with firing clerks. We rushed
out and had barely gotten clear of the
building before about one-half of It fell
to the ground-
Bulldlnva Oae Stary.
On account of earthquakes nearly ail
the buildinga of Concepcion are of one
story. The town covers a great deal of
ground. It lies on a flat plain at the
edge of a hill known aa the Caracol,
1.000 feet high. It Is the public park of
the city and rises up almost like a fort
over the houses. I climbed It today for
the view. Walking through wide streets
lined with one and two story buildings. I
crossed the Alameda; and went up the
winding itlopes. The road waa lined with
mighty pines and It made me think of the
great Crj'Ptomerta avenue that leads up
to Nikko. Japan. Mixed with the pines
were mimosa trees now In full bloom.
""Wiere were many greem shrubs, the vege
tation rising lika a wall on one side of thai
ruad. By and by we came to the top.
We -were now high over the city of Con
cepcion and' the valley of the Bio-bio.
We could ae tha houses of Talcahuano,
the naval station, and the ocean beyond.
W could pick out the Bio-blo river, as
it wound Its way down to tha sea am!
tha bridge across It, the longest and
largest In Chile. (
Concepcion itself lay just below us, a
great expanse of terra-cotta roofed houses
with a plasa of green la the center. We
could sea the cathedral on one aide of the
plaza. It la a large building with an audi
enoa room covering half an acre. The
streets go out from the piaia. They are
wide and cross each other at right angles.
They are paved with asphalt and dean
and well kept. The house of the city
are lew. Looking over them we see here
and there a cluster of tree surrounded
l'y walla. The trees seem to ba sprouting
tv tha roofs of tha houses. They are In
;.-..e courts of patioa around which the
houses are built. """v

We turn around and look tovard tliej
r.'r;h. There hi nothing but wooded hills,
r that aide. J o J migm imagine your
si If In the nildat of a wilderness did you
rot know that the city of Conception
:v at your back. The town showa signs
of its sport-loving character here from
Hie mountain. Tou can ae the golf links,
tbe polo grounds and a race course, with
a track mora than a mil long. The bands
I'lay in the plasa every evening and the
people come out in their beat clothes and
alk about and look at each other. The
city Is a commercial center. It has large
bualneaa houses and a great deal of ag
ricultural machinery from the United
Ststes Is her distributed throughout
southern Chll and through the farms
of the great central valley.
During my stay at Conception I have
nveatlgated the opportunities for Araeri
in coal by way of the canal. The best
coal mines of Chll are situated not far
from her oa Coronel bay. The coal ilea
about tha bay a ad extend far out under

Indeed, the submarine tunnels are ao

The aupply of coal furnished by the
Lota mlnea does not begin to fill Chlle'a
demands. The country la now using more
than twin aa much coal as it produces
and Jt has been Importing one-half of Its
supply from Australia and England. The
state railways now use 400,000 tons per,
annum and practically all of the smelt
ing coal comes from Australia. I under
stand there are other extensive deposits
in the province of Arauco, south of Con
cepcion, and they have recently dis
covered coal near Punta Arenas, at the
Strait of Magellan. Petroleum and nat
ural gaa are known to exist GOO miles
outh of Valparaiso, and that In a
region not far from the steel works at
Corral. By meane of the canal our coal
from the gulf and aouth Atlantic states
ought to have a great market her and
coal might form the return freight for
the nitrates and other minerals that from
now on will be shipped north through the
canal to our country. s
It waa these Lota coal mines that

Indeed, the opportunities for th Intro
duction of all. kind of American gooda
are now at their height. Our trade has
been steadily Paining over that of Eng
land and Germany before the war in
Europe occurred. In 1913 the increase In
American trade waa more than 3,000,000,
while during that year the deoreac. In
the German trad was M.600.000, and that
of England S2.GO0.O00. At present th im
portation, from Prance and Germany are
practically stopped, and those of England
ar clogged by the war. In addition are
the better transportation facilities that
will come from th lines of .hipping
under the American flag, the great ad
vantage, from the Panama canal, an)
also to the fact that American capital
to the amount of (60.000,000 or mor has
recently been Invested here. Outside ot
this our capitalists have taken options
on other mining properties, including
gold, copper and Iron, and the Invasion
of such capital seems to be only at its
beginning.
Have American Street Cars.
I took an American street car and rode
across to Talcahuano to see the port ant
naval station. Th road I. an electric
trolley, built by our firm of Grac ft
Co., and the cars run from on place to
the other In thirty-five minute., th dl.
tanca being about eight miles. W
passed tha race track and cricket and
polo grounds and rode for some dis
tune on the edge of th sea. Entering
Talcahuano, we found ourselve In the
heart of a rapidly growing city of 40,060
wa.
proved to b of any value, when they
were boughet by Don Matla. Couamo.
Th coal Is not a very good .teaming
coal, but It doe. well for .melting..
Couslno established smelting works near
the mines and began to develop the coal
properties. He did o well that In one
year his net receipt, were mor than
11,200,00. and In Urn h built up a big
business. He established the town of
I .ota, which haa 10.000 people. Including
the moat of the 6,000 men who are em
ployed in th trine. The town has good
homes, a church, a hospital, free doctors
and a plaza for recreation.

wished her te go on, with the Intention
of either becoming a concert player or
a teacher. Pianist listened respectfully,
then asked daughter to play. He asked
