NATIONAL WEALTH.

According to all present indications
the Federal census of 1900 will be
record-breaking one," says the Amerl-
can Economist. eff the present rate
of increase is maintained it will show a
total accumulated wealth not far from
$1lO,OOO,OOO,OOO, or nearly 20 per cent
more than the amount shown by the
census of 1890. BY the Federal census
of 1890 the aggregate material wealth
of the United States, compared with
the wealth of Great Britain, was less in
ships and merchandise, but exceeded
in many other items. The real estate
of this country was then valued at
$39, OOO, 900, 900, the live stock at $2,OOO,-
100000, the railroads at SIS, OOO, OOO,O 900,
manufactures and their contents at
$4,000. 900, mines and quarries at
81 200, 600, 600, and gold and silver coin
81 2OO,OOO,OOO. In 1860 the wealth of
the United States was estimated at
$2O, OOO, OOO, 900; i'm 1870 at $25, 0OO, OOO,-
600; in 1880 at 5000, OOO, 600, and in
1890 at $4,000. 100000"
According to the estimate of Mulhall,
published in 1892. the wealth of nations
was AS follows for the chief countries,
for lands, farm utensils, bullion, cattle,
houses, furniture, railroads, shipping,

On an estimated basis of S11O,0OO,-
600, 900 as the total wealth and of 75,.
100000 as the population in 1900, the
average wealth per capita in the United
States will show an increase of from
1850 in 1890 to 81, 466 in 1900, or con-
siderably greater than that of any
other nation. Heretofore the United
States has ranked fifth among the ma
tions in wealth per capita, the figures
being 81 200 for the United Kingdom,
$l,l5O for Denmark, 81, l2O, for France,
Sl,OSO for Holland, and $1,000 for the
United States.
The increase of SIS, 900, 5000 in the
total wealth of the United States in the
decade closing with 1900 is unparal-
leled in the history of nations. 1t rep
resents larger sum than the aggregate
wealth of any other country ten years
ago, with the single exception of the
United Kingdom, while the total of
5ll0,Oo0,OJO will be nearly double
that of the next wealthiest country.
The Federal census takes account of
Statistics 10y decades only. If the
: ,-ess-:is could show the correct
9gu,c- for intervening years-for ex-
Ample, the aggregate national wealth
for 1895, under the fearful depression of
values following the enactment of the
Wilson German Free-Trade Tariff Of
lS94-the contrast would be startling
one. Equally startling would be the
contrast between the national wealth
yer capita in 1892, when Protection and
Prosperity went hand in hand, and
that OF 1895, when Free-Trade had be-
gun it, deadly work.
Unfortunately, these contrasts can.
not be shown, and the countless bill
I)ns of shrinkage in material wealth
growing out of ruinous economic
policy can scarcely be .approximated,
much less accurately estimated. 1t is
enough that the American people
know in a general way the tremendous
difference between then and now; that
they perfectly understand what made
the country poor and what has assisted
TO bring about the $45 900, OOO, 900 of in
crease in national wealth in ten years
to the present stupendous total of $1lO,-
0OO,OOO,OOO.

COPPER IS THE METAL.
The Cochise Copper Mining Company,
 Bisbee, Arizona. ....

This company owns very valuable group of mines situated in Warren mining district, county of Cochise, Arizona, lying immediately east of and adjoining the town of Bisbee, and ad- joining the property of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company On the north. The latter company has been in operation TOT about twenty years, and employs about 1,500 men daily in the operation of it's mammoth mine and smeiters, and as a result has produced copper to over 34,000,000 pounds during the year 1898, and the net proceeds of such production are reported to have been over $2,000, ,0O0, and 1t has been said by experienced miners who have been under it's em- ploy for years, that the Queen mine now has sufficient ore in sight to keep it in constant operation for the next twenty years without further de- velopment.
 Is it not reasonable to believe that the property of the Cochise company is fully as valuable, when it is within such close proximity to such won derful mine?
 $ workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and heard at the shaft of our mine, and oftimes the concussion has attracted marked attention.
 The original owners of these valu- able mines are local business men, we'll and favorably known in Bisbee and surrounding vicinity. who are doing their utmost to make this enterprise a success in every respect. The board of directors are original owners, and are donating their services to the com- pany until such time as the mine will pay dividends. They own the con trolling interest in this property, and as a protection to stockholders have placed their entire interest in escrow for a term of one year.
 The stock books of our company are now open for subscriptions, and linn ited number of shares are offered at ten cents per share. No application for less than 100 shares will be ac- cepted.
 The company reserve the right at any time to advance the price of shares without further notice, or to reject any application for stock at their discre- tion.
 Every cent received from the sale Of stock will be expended toward the de- velopment ot our property and the erection of hoisting works, and al! other necessary improvements, and to make our enterprise success ill every particular.
 We invite investigators and their experts or their engineers to closely scrutinize our property.
 Applications for shares may be made to any of the directors of the com pany, or to any of our legally author izcd representatives.

Sheriff Scott White, who was in Fl Paso recently on his way to a visit to his old home in Texas, had an inter- view with Graphic reporter of that city. He made the following true re- marks concerning Cochise county: "That section of the country never looked so beautiful, grass is knee high, cattle are fat on the ranges, cattlemen are happy; minors were never so hope ful of amassing fortunes, mines are be- ing developed that promise to yeild untold wealth. The days of the Tombstone mining boom are eclipsed, so great and so extensive are the mining operations. The population is increas- ing with citizenship that any land would be proud of, it is superior industrial class, kawablding and intelL;-, gent.

is very real. That which you think awaits you in the dentists chair is all imaginary.
 People forget that old-time dentists with their barbarous instruments no longer exist. Modern dentistry, as prac- ticed by us, is a painless, scientific method of tooth preservation. Let us attend to your teeth as soon as there is the slightest symptom of any. thing wrong, and you'll always have good teeth.
