they have rented the Wright
house, and their furniture and
other effects were put IN Tuesday

As we understand it the timber
on this Company's property is to
be systematically cut and manu>
featured. MIR Nilbrandt and as
sistants went right to work taking
down the mill which is located
near the Little Sequachee River,
for removal to the timber lands.
On their arrival here they were
met by the opinion of local WISE
acres that the boiler was too heavy
to move, but on examination they
say it can and will be moved,
which is the right kind OF talk.
They say further that if the road
up the cove fails them, If permits
sion is granted, the boiler will be
taken up the mountain road to the
top of the mountain and taken
down to the mill site.
Extra men were employed on
Monday and they are working
steadily. Mr. Milbrandt recogniz'
es that people have to live to work
and will pay his help living Wag'
ss and also pay them in hard
cash at the end OF every week,
After tho removal and erection
OF the plant this enterprise means
steady work for a number OF men
in the woods and at the mill, and
is a promising outlook for thu
community and We think ought tC
help the town materially,

AMERICAS MINERALS.
This Authority Says the United
States Outstrips Britain In the
Coal Output.

The preliminary statement OF min
eral production in the United States in
1899 shows that the total output Of
metals in the United States for that
year was valued at the places Of pro-
duction at S413,O3s,414, as compared
with s314,255,62O in 1898.
OF non-metallic substances, the total
value of the output was $6O1, ,s72, ,631, as
compared with $4s3, ,Oe1, ,970 in 1898. De-
ducting certain unavoidable duplica-
tions, such as coal used in coke or iron
ore, in pig iron and so on, the net value
of the mineral production reached a
total of 1891, ,424,OS2, showing an in
crease Of $151,sO7 1882 over 1898.
The gold production is valued at $72,-
4s3,055, and the silver was 61,179,6S9
ounces.
The most important item was coal,
the total of which in 1899 was no less
than 24,5s1, ,s75 tons, the largest guam
tity ever mined in a year, and putting
the United States for the first time
ahead of Great Britain as coal pro-
ducer.
The pig iron was 13,649,453 tons, or
1,S78,619 tons more than in 1898. Cop
per production amounted to 592,672,637
pounds, a gain Of II per cent. over the
previous year. Other important items
were 213,OO3 tons of lead; 1876 tons of
zinc, 54.O4s.1OO barrels of petroleum,
15,194,511 barrels of cement, 19,O25,794
barrels of salt, ss,713 TASKS of quick
silver. besides a very great variety Of

BRITISH ISLES TONGUES
There Are Seven Languages and
Dialects Spoken, OSurting the
Channel Islands.

Seven languages are still alive In the
British isles; In England, English with
itA three chief and many subordinate
dialects; In Scotland, Gaelic; in ire
land, Erse; In Wales Welsh; In the Isle
of Mau, Manx; in the channel islands,
a form OF old Norman. French snd mod
ern French.
The Gaelic, Erse, Welsh and Manx do
not differ very much in essentials.
They are all forms of one original lam
guage, Of which another form, the Cor
nish, was still spoken less than 100 years
ago.
The Morse language survived in parts
of the Shetland isles as late as the end
of last century, and many words OF 1T
are still in use in that part of the king
dom.
In some baronies Of Wexford avery
ancient form OF English, dating prob
ably from the time Of the earliest Eng
Jish settlers in Ireland, existed till quite
recently.
In the north of Ireland, Lowland
Scotch, more ahttquated than any now
spoken in Scotland itself, is still used
among the descendants Of the Scotch
settlers of the sixteenth and seven
teeDth centuries.
The ordinary "brogue" Of Ireland is
in many cases merely the sixteenth cen
tury English pronunciation. And many
Irishisms, commonly supposed to be
mistakes, are expressions formerly in
everyday use in England, but now OBJ
solete there, though they have survived
in Ireland in the form in which they
were originally introduced.-stray Sto-
