ing boldly into the arena and menace
ing the export trade OF Great Britain.
If this competition Is to be success
ful mining must be conducted upon
the most economical basis and expert
mentation must be carried on which
will enable every possible economy to
be introduced.
The era of scientific experimental
ton and research along mining and
metallurgical lines Is only just begin
ming, and the field for development is
almost limitless. Mine management is
every year being placed upon higher
plane. and it is absolutely necessary
that proper facilities be available for
those wishing to lit themselves for this
higher grade Of work. Private re-
search has accompli shed n great deal
in the past. but there are many state.
Interstate and national problems which
are not within the province Of private
research, and which can best be car
lied on by some organization or in
stitution having extensive and suitable
equipment for research work.
The senate of the United states at
the first session of the present con-
gress recognized the necessity for leg

| "a bill approprating to each state and
territory $4,000 for the year ending
June 30, 1901. and an annual increase
each year of $1,000 until the annual

INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS.
Statistics About the Mineral Pro-

The Board for Today.

In 1890, says the Wilkes Barre
Record the mineral production of tha
United States was valued at s6l9, 512,-
113: in 1899 it had increased to 1916
00S, ,946. and during 1900 it undoubtedly
amounted To considerably more than
81. 600 900, 600
This great increase has been due
more to the use of improved appliances
and the application of scientific princi-
pies in connection with the mining and
preparation of ores and coal, and the
smelling of ores. than through the dis
coVery Of new and rich fields. There
have been no new EldoradOS in the
same sense that California was, and
even in such new fields as the Cripple
Greek district the great output has
been rendered possible by the applica-
tion of new processes which We're prac-
tically unknown ten years ago. Ten
years ago the extent of our known and
producing coal fields was essentially
the same as now. but the introduction
of improved methods in all of the me-

The Important Questions.

These are the questions to be passed
upon by the Navy Board of Inquiry
appointed by Secretary Long upon the
demand of Rear Admiral Schley which
has opened at Washington:
The conduct of Rear Admiral Schley
in connection with the events of the
Santiago campaign.
Why was the flying squadron delay
ed off Cienfuegos?
What caused the slow progress from
Cienfuegos to Santiago?
The reasons for the retrograde move
ment from Santiago.
The justification for the disobedience
of orders of the Navy Department of
May %, 1898.
What was the condition of the coal
supply of the squadron, the facilities
for coaling, and the necessity, if any,
for going to Key West to coal, and
were the reports of Schley relative to
this subject accurate?
Did Schley make proper effort to
capture or destroy the Colon when the
ship was fret sighted in the entrance
to Santiago harbor, and was the at
tack o. the batteries at the entrance of
the harbor and the Spanish vessels ly-
ing inside the entrance made at the
proper ranges?
Was the blockade of Santiago harbor
as maintained by Schley, adequate
Was the turn or loop made by the
Brooklyn during the battle of July 3
proper movement?
The propriety of Schley's conduct i'll
the controversy with Lieutenant Hodg-
son in relation to the loop of the Brook
lyn during the battle, in the ensuing
colloquy and in the subsequent cor
respondence on the subject.
If, during the sessions of the court,
any other matters having bearing on
the controversy come up, the court
must investigate them also. The in
quiry is not restricted to the ten heads
mentioned.
