OUTPUT OF THE METALS.
Increase In Gold Production-De-

New York, Jan. 1.-The Engineering
and Mining Journal tomorrow will say:
The production of minerals and metals
in the United States for the year 1896

showing a decrease as compared with
1885 of $24,689, 266, or about 81 per cent.
This decrease vas largely in values
rather than in quantities, and in no
chief articles was there any marked
decrease. while in several there were
considerable increases.
The total production of metals in the
year 1896 was valued at $242, 81, 4S1. an
increase of 81, 694, III over the previous
year.; while the value of non-metalliC
substances was $40, 999, 9S7, a decrease
of SIG, 3S3,317 from 1895. A large part
of this was u to the lower value of
coal, stone and a few other important
substances. very little resulting from
the smaller quantities.
The increase in copper has been ex-
traordinary, the total amounting to 49,
370.1 $50 pounds.
The production of gold reached the
great total of So, 900, 900, a gain of $10.-
$500. This is an extraordinary adj
vance, which far sUrpaSses the gain
reported from any other country in the
world and puts the United States far in
the lead of gold producing countries.
Our output in gold was 10 less than &c
per cent of the total reported for the
entire world.
The production of pig iron has been

The production of lead from domes-
tic ores amounted to 175.777 short tons,
showing an increase of 20, S. tons over
the preceding year In addition to his
there were 5000 tons produced from
imported ores or refined from imported

There was a regular old-fashioned
miners stampede over in Anaconda
yesterday, according to the Butte In

of some rich gold rock in a gorge of

He returned to the hills Sunday and
made several locations, and then told
som of his friends of the discovery.
There was an immediate stampede for
the new district. and the whole coun-
try was located by shutdown yesterday.
Visitors from Anaconda today state
that the ore is similar in appearance

New Utilities to be Devised From the
Kite.

Some very notable advances have
been made in the science of kite flying
during the past year. The great utility
of the kite fol military purposes has
been co~nclusively proved. In the line
of signaling especially. the kite has
shown its adaptability even more than
at Bayonne, N. j., of carrying a tele-
phone wire through the air on a
kite string and dropping it to the
earth 1000 feet away from where the
kite was anchored, so that signals
could be transmitted back and forth,
is another distinct advance in the
science. Its practical utility is great
and could l have been in the rear of
General Grant at NickSburg for in
stance with such a device I would have
been able to have exchanged mes
sages with the Confederates pent up
in the city. 1t could be accomplished
during any siege in fact and during the
night time when its presence would
not be known to an enemy.
However,, the advances of the past
year have been in a measure conclus-
i've and l think the next development
will be in the line of midnight air pho

Mr.. Evans was met by a Democrat

the mining outlook in his section. He
responded with considerable enthusi-
asm, saying:
The Cracker Greek district is GER

mineral wealth in the northwest. The
North Pole, which l nave the honor 20

of 500 feet in height is about completed
and during the progress of the work
not a single accident has happened,
making a record seldom equaled in
mining. In the lower, or Barring gold,

width in the face and the ore is of
high grade and concentrating in char

feet in width. In the upper levels the
vein varies from 6 to Il feet in width.

such a showing.
