nine years and seven months to each

been formed, in part designed to supply
what the London Nelos calls an astOund-
ing meagerness and insuificiency Of detail
in the returns of our iron production.
The United States, it adds, have been be-
forehand with US in arranging the statis
tics of the iron traGe.

ard Railway undertaking, according 10
| the managers own confession, seems 10
! turn out the greatest railway failure ever

WELLS, FARGO & Co., have prepared
table Of the stage robberies during the

routes were stopped thirty-four times from
Jan. 10 to Dec. 16 the losses to the eX-
press company amounting to SS1 900 OF
all the gangs employed in these robber-

A PARKER CTTY correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Commercial says "the produc-
ton of the oil region shows considerable
falling off during the month Of February,
which is very encouraging in connection
with the fact that twenty-nine new wells
came in, with an aggregate production Of
between 600 and 700 barrels. Seventy
eight new wells were completed, includ-
ing the above mentioned, in the Pennsyl-
vania oil regions during the month.
Seven dry holes we're among the number,
and those producing averaged less than
sixteen barrels. Only one well during
the month came in at over a hundred bar
rels, and some yielded rs little as two or
three barrels day. From present indi-
cations there will be much activity in de-
velopments this spring.
AMERICAN tonnage shows slight in
crease that is encouraging, Our tonnage
total for inland and ocean shows an ag-
gregate of 1853, ,132 tons. This is an IN
crease over last year of $4,000 tons,
and since 1872, of 41G0C0 There has
been, too, we fird, a steady growth Of ton
mage since the war, and this growth, while
it has not kept pace with the growth OF
the country in wealth, population and
commerce, has begun to be a growth in
the right direction, L. e., that of steam
navigation as substitute for navigation
by sail The number of tons of vessels
built during the fiscal year ending June
80, 1875, was 297 ,63S; of these there were
l IA ships, barks, etc, with an aggregate
tonnage of 112, 600 tons, or / 900 tons each.
There were 323 steam vessels built, az
gregating 62, 450 tons, and of these twenty
were iron steamers of over 900 tons each,
aggrcgating 63121, tons.-N. Y. World.
