world is given at 1915, 00O,0 900, thus Civ
ing the United States the first position
in production of gold of any country
In the matter of copper the United
States produces $4,000 tons annually,
or more than one-half of the worlds
output. The United States and Mexico
are the two greatest silver producing
countries. In other mining produc-
lions, the commercial value of which is
considerably greater than that of the
precious metals, the countries of Pan
America also lead the world During
the last year the coal output of the
United States reached the enormous
amount Of 225,000,OO0 tons. This, as
compared with Great Britain's output
of about 2OO,00O,00O stons and Ger
many's 10O,OOO,000 tons, makes the
question of the future production of
coal, considering the rapid increase in
America and the fact that European
production has reached its limit and
is already declining, especially note
worthy at this time. The Canadian
output of coal and iron is an item of
great Importance. The near proximity
of iron and coking coal and the proper
fiuxes gives Canada great advantage
in the manufacture of iron and steel.
The advancement Of these industries
In North America during the past dec
ade has been phenomenal, the total pro-
duction of the United States last year
amounting in value to Sab, 758,414 and

concession, is arranging to have native
representative characters to convey
proper impressions of oriental customs
and manners of living. He will have

A holy Mecca will be the meeting place
of tired and worn pilgrims who will
constantly arrive, make their offerings
in the various mosques or religious
temples and dispense. Eight streets
will diverge from this objective point,
each representing a distinctive local
section of the orient. A street in Con
stantinople will be thoroughly Turkish,
even to the vagabond dogs. Morocco
will be represented by street which
will illustrate the life and habits of
the Moors. Algerian life will receive
attention. and street will be borrow
