AMERICAS MINERAL WEALTH.

AMERICAS MINERAL WEALTH.
 Considering the large amount of prospecting being done in this vicinity and number of mines be- ing opened the following from the Kansas City Star will prove in tcresting to our readers:
 Tie mineral products of the United States in 1898 were valued at about TOO million dellars. That is vast amount of wealth to be dug from the earth, even in country so large as the United States. There is no other coun- try ia the world that even distantly approaches our own in the value of it's ,ninsral output. Indeed, it would be difficult to name any important branch of human industry that is close to the soil in winch the United States does not surpass all other countries.
 The mineral products of the United States has almost doubled since 1880, as compared with an increase of about go per cent in population. The prob abilities are that this years products of the mines will be well mp towards 300 million dollars, for prices of nearly every kind of metal have greatly ad- vanced, and, besides, there will be a big increase in the quantity of nearly everything dug from the earth. Min s.,g. .1s sc ofx,r The demand for iron surpasses the present capacity of the workmen and machines engaged in mining. and the ships and railroads that are carrying 1t to the furnaces.
 The great rise in copper has stinulat- cd the production of this metal and the profits of copper thinning have in- creased so enormously that the value Of copper securities has tripled and quadrupled in many instances. Lead and zine are selling for more money nov than for many years pas,, and extraordinary efforts are being made to open new mines and increase the bftt NAl Ol tuC Oiu ObSS. lnc ED4N pEp- duet is increasing, and the output of all the minor metals is steadily grow iog
 The greatest item of minersl pro- duetion is coal, of which the n ines of thi~ country last year yielded over coo miliien dollars worth, an increase of about millions over the proa1ct of I53T Of the other non-metalic pro- dacts the important items are stone, 36 million dollars; clay, lU millions; petroleum. about 10 millions, natural gas. IA millions; mineral water, mil lieus
 There are unlimited supplies of nearly every kind of mineral n the Uaited States, and as the demand for them is increasing more rapidly than tue demand for any other kind of pro- duct, there is no doubt that long era of prosperity IS to be expected for the mineral industry It is the basic in du-trv of an advanced civilization and the great variety and abundance of mineral products in the United States gives to this country an advantage over all others in the development of thase great industries which are adding so much to the comfort and the pleas ures of life in this age

ANN ARB0R, Mich, October 3D.
Prof Dean c. Worcester. of the Philip
pine commission. arrived at his home
here last night for one days stay en-
route from Vancouver to Washington,
where he will present his report to
President Mckinley. He refused to d.
vulge anything bearing on The report,
saying it must go to the President be-
fore it is given out for publication.
Prof. Worcester has taken about 500
photographs in the island, but refused
to release any Of them for publication,
saying:
"They may be made a part of my
final report. Many of them show the
present state and methods Of culsiva-
ton Of the rice and sugar fields of the
Philippines. The government is enti-
tied to the exclusive use of such photo
graphs as it sees fit to appropriate"
From this statement. it is presumed
that Prof. Worcester has been engaged
in gathering data and Photographic evil

Satin brocades go wonderfully well
with these lace tunics. In fact the
two materials seem mutually to en-
nance the beauty of each other. A
skirt of pale madden satin broeade
figured with raised designs of shell
pink produced brilliant effect COM
bined with a black lace tunic on re-

The skirt as close fitting over the
whips without fullness at the back.
The tunie as edged with a narrow
band of black satin, and there was a
belt of the same material combining
the waist.
The waist was low neeked and short
sleeved. The neck as filed in with
ruffles OF black lace which were gath
cred upon narrow ribbons.
Lace tunics are very serviceable,
too, in that they can be used as a
drapery over old gowns that have be-

Yesterday morning Miss Louise
Roscoe, the well known teacher of
this city who is employed in the
Moundsvflle schools, had a thrilling
experience and narrow escape from
death. She was crossing the C. & P.
tracks on her way to the ferry land
ing when her shoe caught between
the rail and boards and threw her to
the ground. At the same instant a
train was backing up and Miss Ros-
coe, suffering from the nervous shock
resulting from knowledge of her
perilous position, was unable to rise
A boy who accompanied her hailed
the brakeman who in turn tagged
down the train just in time to pre-
vent a tragedy. Miss Roscoe pluckily
continued her way to Moundsville and
performed her accustomed duties in
the school room during the day, not
withstanding the experience which
was sufficient to PROSTATE woman
of less nerve aad determination.
The members CT the Country Club
and their gentlemen friends were very
handsomely entertained last evening
at the home of Miss Lottie Kelley in
the Fourth ward. There were about
twelve couples of young folks present
and very enjoyable time was had.
The hostess had prepared a program
of entertainment consisting of cards,
music and dancing and the gaities of
the evening proceeded without inter-
ruption until midnight. The club is
yet in its infancy but Judging by the
interest being taken in it the position
it will occupy among the social or
CARNATIONS of the city before the win
ter is over will not be inferior to any
club in the city.
A number of important changes are
being made about the steel works and
it is the general impression that those
in progress are only preliminary to
more extensive ones to follow. A
new stock house is to be erected near
the site of the old nail warehouse and
to reach it the C. L. & W. tracks will
be moved to the west of the c. & P.
Grading is already being done and
other preparations are making TO get
the new stock yard and the tracks
leading to it in shape. A road bed is
also being constructed across the bot
tom east of Noble street and the field
will be made a dumping ground for
Stag.
