the General Manager of the road, says:
Hereafter we will operate this property with
employees who consider their first duty is to the
company and expect to obey reasonable orders
made in the transaction of its business. There
has never been a moment when, under any cir
cumstances, we would arbitrate any question
growing out OF this strike. There has been
nothing TO arbitrate. It is only question as
to whether the company will be permitted to
operate its own properuy-a property in which
there is invested over 500 00O. 000-or whether
this property shall be controlled by the knights
of Labor. 1t may as we'll be understood now,
and from this time on, that every wheel which
Is turned on the Reading system shall be
turned on the orders OF that company, and un-
der the orders Of nobody else.

OUR MINERAL WEALTH.
Marked Increase i'm the Mineral Production

The United States Geological Survey,
Maj. j. w. Powell, director, has issued
the statistics OF the production of minerals
during 1886. The total value was more
than 1896, 000, 900, the largest mineral pro-
duction yet recorded in any country. Many
substances shared in this increase, bur
particularly iron and steel, which alone
showed an increase of S30,000,000. In
1885 bituminous coal was the most valua-
BILE mineral product, but in 1886 it was
passed by pig iron, which had higher
total value than silver and gold combined.
Wonderful progress is shown in the use of
natural gas, the consumption being more
than double that of 1885 and twenty times
