no effort was made yesterday to break it,

Ohice Possession Was a License

Clemens Debald has not been in Office a
great while, but long enough to find that
inspecting boilers and keeping records
records which have been turned over to
are not one and the same thing. The
him, Mr.. Debald says, are a little bet
ter than worthless, and unless Mr.. Zelch
has some record of inspections which he
has not turned over to his successor. the
inspections made in the past are of~no
value to the state. Mr.. Zelch, when he
turned the Office over to Inspector De-
bald, stated that the stubs of licenses
and certificates were the only records
kept by him. An examination Of these
stubs shows that whole blocks of GER
tificates have been issued without any
record being made. The stubs are blank
and bear no marks whatever, but the
certificates have been detached. No other
record has been found of these examina-
tons, and the same applies to the stubs
of the engineers license books, al
though a little better record Is kept of
these. Several large institutions in the
Northwest manufacture a large number
of boilers every year, and they have
always been examined in a bunch. No
record has been found of an examination
of these boilers. The books from which
inspection certificates were issued to these
big manufacturers are said to be in the
| concerns offices. 1t has been stated that
the outgoing inspector or his deputy did
not always trouble themselves to take a
trip to Minneapolis or Duluth whenever
any Of these firms filled orders for boil
ers, but that the factory superintendent
simply took the certificate book down
| from the shelf and wrote out an inspec-
| ton certificate without bothering the
officials at the state house.
| How generally this rule or practice ap-
| piled in the other boiler inspection dis
| tricts is not known, but the refusal of
Inspector Padden. of Austin, to give up
| his books might indicate various things
| The absence of records In the office OF
boiler inspector for this district is hard
to explain. If a boiler blew up with fatal
results, a record of inspections made
would enable the state department to
tell whether the engineer in charge had
received a state license and If the boiler
was submitted to state scrutiny, and
when.
Mr.. Debald stated yesterday that nc
money was appropriated by the state to
purchase office supplies and he supposed
that was the basis Of the claim of the
inspector at Austin that the Office rec
ords were his. Mr.. Zelch, his predeces-
sor, claimed to have turned over all the
| records in his possession.

IN VARIOUS PLACES,

The recent boom in stocks and the
accompanying wave of prosperity in
Wall street, New York, proved rec
ord-breaker for hotelkeepers, as we'll
as brokers, and 1t is said that visitors
have been turned away from the hotels
by the hundreds. Visitors f1ocked to
the metropolis from all parts of the
country and Canada until the figures
of last year, which were then con-
sidered unusual, have been far sur
passed.
When Lord Darlington of England
suggested an emigration of eligible
young ladies to Australia-a sugges-
tion which has caused great indigna-
t1on among the spinsters there-he evil
IDENTIFY had not considered the brisk
demand for the charming commodity
in Moulton, in Cheshire. The school
board in that interesting village is at
its wits end, because the new school
marms and assistant schoolmarms are
snapped up almost before they put
their feet inside the schoolroom. The
intimation of their arrival is usually
accompanied by an announcement that
they are leaving to get married.
Prior to the recent passage of the
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill by the United States senate it was
amended SO as to increase the salaries
of various United States consuls and
secretaries of legation. The salaries
of secretaries of legation to the Argen-
tine republic, Venezuela and Peru were
increased from $1,000 to $780,; of the
consuls at La Guayra, Venezuela, from
$1,5o0 to $4,000, and at Pernambuco,
Brazil, from $4,000 to $2.5O0 The sal
aries of the third secretaries of embas-
sy at London, Paris and Berlin were
fixed at 81 800 each. The consulate at
Naples was placed in the $2,500 class,
the consulate of Collingwood, Canada,
in the $4,000 class, and the consulate at

This table affords remarkable Illus
tration of the growth of the mining
industry that will be of great value to
the future historian and statistician.
One remarkable fact shown is that
prior to 1870 almost the entire value of
the production Of the state was in
gold. the mining for silver not COM
mencing to any great extent until 1871.
Another interesting feature is the
growth of the lead and copper produc-
tion. The increase Of more than so
per cent. in lead and nearly 40 per
cent. in copper in 1898 over the produc-
tion Of 1897 is especially encoura gng.
The gold production of the state
taken by decades since the discovery
OF gold in Russell gulch shows that
even during the period when silver
was the object of nearly all miners.
there has been a steady increase in the
output OF gold.
Prior to 1870 the gold production
was S27. .OSl. The next decade,
from 1870 to 1879, inclusive, was pc
riod of more or less depression, owing
to crude methods, the heavy expense
Of reduction and mining and the i'm
possibility of making profit on any
thing but ores Of the highest grade.
and yet in this period of discourage
ment there was a substantial gain, the
value of the gold product being $27,-
