sence from the Pacific While cables
skirt the continents bordering on the
Pacific, they do not strike out boldly
across that ocean. Tho contrast, as
revealed in this way, between the
eastern and western routes to the Ori
ent is most marked. All our messages
from Manila come necessarily by the
old-world route. 1t is quite probable
that whatever is done in Pacific cables
by the United States, the Suez will re-
main the great route of communication
because of it's opportunities for local
business. This also suggests that our
own lsthmian canal, as a commercial
route, will be across the direction OF
the worlds great commercial move
ments.
Officers of the coast survey say that
they have had great deal of trouble
to bring this new map up to date in All

times, so rapidly have changes been
made in recent years upon the map

chart published by the geological
survey gives summary of the min
2ral products of the United States for
the past ten years. The aggregate
values have increased by more than
one-half in that period and the figures
for 1899 are greater than in any pre-
vious year, footing up the enormous
total of $97G.0OO 900.
The value of the metallic products
of the year is given at $527 21S, ,0S4.
and of the non metallic Mt $447, 100, 1862.
The latter class includes, of course, the

various other minerals.
OF the metals our pig iron is worth
almost as much as all others together,
the value of the product in 1899 being
given at 245,000,O00. Copper comes
next. with $l0i,00O,000. and the
$7l 100000 in gold is third. The mar
ket value of the silver produced in
1899 was about $33 900 900 and the lead

much. Quicksilver, aluminium, anti

other metals that figure in the table.
