At last definite information is at
hand concerning a new proposition to
De put out by the United States Oil
people. The new company is STYLED the
u lted States Mining Company and in
GIuues several large mines in the Bmg-
nam camp, Utah. among them The old
doFQan, now large and we'll known
producer, and other properties. The va
tlous properties to be consolidated
nave been under examination durlnE
the past sixty days by a number of
experts who have in each instance sub
mitted highly favorable reports,
IN bringing out these consolidated
properties it is not claimed that they
are at present developed copper mines,
although copper is found in each prop
erty, but that the gold and lead ore
hodleS, as at present DEVELOPED. are
sufficient to pay handsome dividends
upon the capital invested from the
start The experts report that these
properties are all located upon the
same mineral bearing lode as the Utah
consolidated, but none of them have
been developed to so great u depth.
The capital of the company will be
$4,000, 600 divided into 100000 shares of
the par value of $25 each. The com

ed that the subscription price of the

The New York Journal of Commerce
in recent issue prints some interest
ing and significant statistics showing
the reduction Of child labor in several
states during the past ten years. In
three manufacturing states the reduc-
ton in ten years was shown to be as
follows: In Connecticut, from 7.43 per
cent to 40; in Massachusetts, from
4. 80 to 1874, and in Rhode Island, from
1906 to less that per cent A very
considerable reduction in child labor is
also reported in New York. Though
this industrial change seems to have
escaped general notice, it is most i'm
portant one and worthy of considera-
ton. In this age of keen and intense
competition the demand is for highly
efficient rather than cheap labor. Legis-
lation in many states has sought to reg
ulate and reduce child labor in the in
terest Of public health, and it has
doubtless accomplished much in that
direction, but recent inquiries appear
to. show that purely economic causes
have operated not less potently toward
the same gratifying result.

Of years that city has been receiving
from the street car lines about $175, 900
a year as rental for the use of the
streets These leases are now about to
expire, and the street car company
which holds the leases has offered to
more than double the rent it has been
paying, but the city has declined the
offer, as it proposes to own and operate
the lines itself, assuming that if there
is money in it for a private corporation
there is money in it for the municipal
ity. At all events, the experience of
Manchester proves the advantage of the
method which secures to cities the ben
efits of the "unearned increment. -

BY act of the last legislature circulat-
ing libraries have become state institu-
tions in New Jersey. In carrying out
the provisions of the law the library
commission has decided to buy 30 Ii
braries Of so volumes each for circula-
ton in the state. to be under the Gen.
troll Of the state librarian and to be sent
out to communities on application.
Each community must provide trustee
and librarian. pay S. annually for the
use of the books and guarantee to re-
place all books lost or destroyed. All
the libraries are loaned for six months
and exchanged at the close of that Pc
riod. In carrying out this commenda-
BILE work the state commission makes it
a point to give preference to communi-
ties too small to support public libraries.

Some Of Spain's scholars are propos-
ing the celebration Of an anniversary
which has profound interest for Amer
leans While SPANS political connec-
ton with the western world is forever
ended, her historical connection with
it will endure. For centuries there has
been controversy as to who was the
first missionary to land on this CONT
nent, and from documents recently
brought to light the honor appears to
belong to Father Juan Perez de Mac
Marchena, franciscan friar. 1t seems
to be esta blished that he came over to
the west side of the Atlantic with Co.
lumbus on the second voyage, in 1893,
of the great navigator. and was the first
man to raise the cross on the soil Of the
new world. Although the four hum
dredth anniversary of his appearance on
this continent passed about six years
ago, it is now proposed to fittingly cele-
brate the event. The work which Chris
tan missionaries from Spain performed
amid perils from wild beasts and wilder
men in the new world two centuries
and more before the United States was
founded forms one of the most thrilling
pages in American history.

The secretary of the Connecticut
board of agriculture has just issued
report on the subject of abandoned
farms in that state. This is the second
report on the same subject, the former
having been issued seven years ago.
The secretary says that later experience
shows that there are very few aban-
doned farms in Connecticut and a
great many farms once abandoned have
of late years been restored to cultiva-
ton. The secretary, however. admits
that there are many farms in the state
that are for sale at very low prices,
some Of them ranging from SIS to SO an
acre, including farm buildings. He
calls attention to the change in the in
dustrial conditions in the farm towns
of the state during the past so years,
especially the great decline of sheep
raising and cheesemaking and the ex-
tinction of small factories, particularly
tanneries, in the rural regions. This
condition is due to various causes, one
of the most potent being the general
tendency Of the time toward the Gen.
tralization of population in the large
cities, and another is the prevalence Of
industrial combinations which place at
disadvantage the small factories.
