police as an all-around crook, has been
arrested for completely in the attempt

MINERAL PRODUCTION
Report of the Geological Sur.
vey for the Calendar Year.
INCREASE OVER THE PAST YEAR
The Quantities and Values of the vari-
Gus Products in the Min.
era1 Kingdom.

Washington, June 30.-The mineral
products of the United States for the
calendar year of 1895 are reviewed at
length in the mineral resources report
of the United States geological survey.
The report, which was compiled by
DR.. David T. Day, chief of division.
shows the total value Of the products
to be $611,795,29O. This stands
against production valued at $527,-
1858, 594 for 1884. This is an increase
of $50, 900, 900.
The report in summarizing condi-
tions, says:
The general increase is long step
toward recovery from the depression to
which the mineral industry, like all
others, has been subjected. The total
value is slightly less than the greatest
we have known, which was over $685.
600, 900 in 1892. In terms of quanti
ties produced, instead Of value re.
ceived, 1895 is greater. In other
words, prices are lower. Considering
the record of the total value in these
reports since 1880, the increase, which
is from $3.50, ,319, 600 to $611, ,795,290,
is significant, and the average for
these sixteen years gives fair approx
porduct should have been halfway be-
tween these dates, or in 1888.
''The United States shared in the
general increase in gold production,
the increase being shown in nearly all
the gold-producing states, but coming
principally from Cripple Creek and
other new camps in Colorado. The
gain in the quantity of petroleum and
especially the phenomenal increase in
its price, was one of the great features
of the year. The steady increase in
gold products since 1892 was kept up
duinrg 1895, increasing from 1 ,O18. .816
ounces in 1894, to 2.273, ,629 ounces in
1895, the valuation of the latter being
s49, 500, 900.
Silver production fell to Al, 900, 600
ounces from 40, sol, ,122 ounces in 1894,
with coming values respectively Of
$50, 766, 800 and $640, 900, 900.
Copper, domestic ore production,
followed the upward tendency of the
other metals and increased over 20,-
900, 600 pounds, or $5.500,0 The
rapidly increasing product Of zinc,
which was checked in 1898 and 1894,
was resumed. The declining tendency
in iron and steel production in 1894
was changed in 1895 to one of the most
remarkable increases in the production
of pig-iron in the history of the indus
try of. the United States. It rose from
6,657, 3S8 long tons in 1894 to 9,446,-
a0S long tons in 1895, or nearly 42 per
cent. This is the largest product ever
attained in this country, the nearest ap-
proach to it being in 1890.

A Big Railroad Deal.

The Chicago Evening Post has a
sensational piece of railway news to
the effect that Henry Willard, backed
by European capitalists, has about
completed a deal which will give them
through line from the Atlantic to the
Pacific seaboard. The intention of the
Willard syndicate is to buy the North
ern Pacific road, then the Baltimore s.
Ohio, at the receivers sales. 1t is said
that the syndicate has already prao-
tically obtained control of the Chicago
81 Great Western road, the connecting
link between the Baltimore & Ohio,
and the Northern Pacific.

a Cloudburst in Ohio.

A cloudburst took place near Mari
eta, o. The water covered a wide
area of territory and was the most de-
structive ever known there. Houses
were swept away, stock drowned and
many persons narrowly escaped death.
In some streams the water rose twenty
feet in ten minutes. The flood came
almost as suddenly as did the Johns
town food. Crops are ruined on the
Little Muskingum for twenty miles,
and on many small tributaries of the
Ohio above there.

Failure, Then Death.

The body of Joseph G. Powell, stu
dent in the Oregon medical college,
was found floating in the river, oppo-
site the o. R. & N. freight warehouse,
in Portland. A rope was fastened
around the neck, to which was firmly
attached granite rock, weighing
about 10 pounds. Powell was one of a
class of students in the medical college
that was presented for final exa-nina-
ion last March. He failed to pass. and
in despair, committed the rash act.
He had been missing for three months.
