Even cursory glance at this table shows a
most wonderful decrease of vitality in the
people OF the United States during the last
century. Whatever may have been the causes
the fact remains for our consideration
In an article published in The STAR 1 stated
that the Birth ratio has seemed to have
reached minimum, and the probability now
is will slowly increase" This statement was
made in reference to only few years. When
we come to take a wider view and take in a
century the previous law of diminution will
doubtless prevail.
We must consider man as a machine supplied
each day with given amount of energy The
law of the correlation Of forces applies here as
well as elsewhere. A man may, then, expend
his energy In various ways. He may increase
his vitality, or develop great physical strength
or display great intellectual power As he has
only given stock of energy each day and, as
as general rule the intellectual forces pre-
dominate in this country in the strife for
money and fame, he has no supply of energy
left for the growth and activity Of his vital
functions. This is as true of women as of men
and is, perhaps, sooner seen in the female
The enlarged requirements of social life and
the great effort of woman to do mems work in
all professions of life will most certainly de-
press the birth ratio, because her stock Of
energy will be all used up in the struggle for
competition. This is already seen in all the
older states Of the Union, and is well known by
the medical profession.
Inc colored race is not an exception to this
general law. This segment of humanity does
not increase by different law from the rest of
mankind. Whatever rights or privileges may
be denied these people they will retain their
human nature.
IL the strife for political preferment is
abated, IL the energy we see displayed in the
pursuit OF money IL diminished, if the require
ments of social life are less rigorous. and
women will be content in their proper sphere,
we may reasonably expect to see the birth ratio
increase. The outlook, however, is not favora-
BILE for such result. We are, therefore, forced
to the conclusion that the birth ratio will con-
tinue to decrease.

Ike everything else. have a pear tree in my
yard ten years old and twenty feet in height
Average growth two feet annually. Can rea-
sonably expect in fifty years to see that tree
towering up one hundred and twenty feet?
careful review OF the circumstances that
surround us forbids the conclusion that our ma
tion can in any possible way increase in popu-
iatlon during the coming century as it has in
the past. What our population may be in a
hundred years, or even in fifty years, it is i'm
possible to estimate with any reliable certainty.
One thing We can be certain of, the population
cannot reach 1000. DOC, 900 in $780,
have never made any estimates Of popula-
ton beyond the year of 1900. All calculations
purporting to come from me for any date after
ls0o are not authentic. SILAs L. LOOMS.

SINKING NEW SHAFT
Mining in the regulation California style
in progress at both the Sawyer and Kirk mines.
DIR. Kempster, who ia attending to Senator
Sawyer's interests, has sunk one shaft which
has reached depth Of ITO feet cross Sec
ton has been run from this which has already
proceeded about 100 feet. Something like
$100. Zoo has been spent in machinery and
buildings at the Sawyer mine. At the mouth
of the mine there Is lifting machine for haul
ing the buckets loaded either with men or ore
from the bottom of the shaft This machine is

able putting and blowing off Of steam,

wrapped up in a rubber coat and hat or a
heavy load of rock, presumably holding gold,
appears to view. DR.. Kempster has also a ten
stamp mill on the place. The ore is run from
the mine on small cars to the mill where it is
crushed, and by means OF the quick silver
method the gold itself is obtained and made into
bars. As before stated this property consists

one being worked. The shaft at the Kirk mine
has only been sunk some 80 feet but already
pay ore has been found. Col. Kirk has Just
completed the erection Of q ten-stamp mill of
the Scoville pattern, and he is enthusiastic about
the pr aspects He claims that the country around
that neighborhood 10 richer in minerals than
California in its palmiest days. The colonel
has any number of specimens Of gold and gold
bearing quartz, all Of which he has taken from
that part Of the county and fondly exhibits as
proofs of the value Of the property. Perhaps
the largest vein in the county il above the
Great Falls, ON the Ford farm, owned by the
Kirk mining and milling company. This vein
is claimed to be 50 feet thick and three-fourths
Of q mile long. A twenty-stamp mill Of the
latest pattern has been put in here and 100 tons
Of ore q day can be crushed and worked up.

Some men seem 10 have been made OF
odds and ends left over from last year.
There was Frank IiavcnS out IN Cuunci,
Bluffs, for instance, who suldrulv fell
dead. 4At the autopsy the doctors found
that his heart was tucked away in a cor
ner Of his right side, that the liver had
got mad at something and crawlad over
on the left side, while the stomach had
taken dislike 10 the diaphragm and was
rafting round the spinal column.
One would judge from the surgeons
discoveries that lIavcns Was q srl!-madc
man and hadh't been entirely successful
This is not By any means the oldest
case, however. We predict tiat when
Tanner is dissectcd it will be found that
his brains were slowed away by mistake

the boots away three months hclore he

TAMPA CANNEneH.

name of Mr.. Wicks being in charge Of
it. The capacity Of the factory is not
large-about 500 cans per day-as it was
started purely as an experiment. Only
one kind Of fish is pat up, that being sea
muilet. These are very plentiful in old
Tampa Bay, and can be bought at very
reasonable price, which is al important
point for the projectors
The only serious difficulty being ex-
perenced now is that Of preserving the
fish unit! they can be canned. Not nav

pose, DULY certain amount Of fish can be
cared for in day. This, however, will
