President Roosevelt is reported as
saying: 81 have been a candidate for
president in 1904. | am not now In
any sense a candidate. II | should
fail in my present duties. l could not
hope for future honors. I will fail If I
give my thoughts to anything but the
demands upon me-" Consciously or IN
consciously. the president has outlined
a policy which will come nearer max
ing him a candidate in 1904 than any
other policy could. II he thinks Of
nothing but to fulfill the duties of his
ONCE with the utmost efficiency: II he
never permits friends to discuss with
him plans to secure a nomination, il
that can be understood for two years
and a half, and II in the conduct OF his
ofice with the utmost efficiency; II he
friends believe him to be, the peer Of
any one who ever held that office, in

to result in a concerted demand for
his renomination.-Salt Lake Tribune.

MR.. HASSETT DISCOURAGED.

Mr.. j. B. Hassett of Saratoga has
been interviewed by the Denver Post
and does not take a very roseate view
of matters in southern Carbon county.
He says the mines of hat section will
compare favorably with those of Colo
RADIO and Utah, but they are hampered
by lack Of railway transportation. The
smelter at Encampment, he says. has
nature have to be transported long dis
tances by rail and then wagoned some
forty-eight to fifty miles to the smell,
ter. When the matte is produced it
meets with the same difficulty. 1t must
be wagoned to the railroad and ship
ped to Denver or Omaha, where also
there is a charge of 81 or 50 a ton for
treating it. Everything is much more
expensive in Carbon county, according
to Mr.. Hassett, than in Colorado, and
while Colorado miners have few re-
strictions, those Of Wyoming in south
ern Carbon county are hampered In
evry way. When asked as to the pros
pect for railroad facilities, Mr.. Has
set said:
Il see very little encouragement.
We have a number of lines on paper,
but most of them are frauds. The Un-
ion Pacific gives no sign Of coming to
our relief with a branch, and the Rio
Grande is too far away. 1t Is owned
by George Gould, and claimed by the
Union Pacific. An Independent line
seems to be out of the question. as IL

Vanderbilts in the matter OF traffic ar
rangements. One thing is certain;
We can make no great Roadway. how
ever abundant and rich our ores may
be, until wagon transportation is su
perseded by a railway. 1t may be that
the smelter now running al be kept
alive until the new era begins, II 1t is
not too long delayed.
Aside from the copper mines there
are other bearing gold and silver. but
for the reasons given they a be
extensively developed. The only thing
we a do is to wait. and that, you
know, is killing. | wish we could have
a line from Denver. because this is
IL natu..l market.

much OF what 1t contains, and what a

full. but since the recent changes in the
big transcontinental lines we see no

We Can Produce Goods for Less Money
Than Any Other Nation.
The statistics of manufactured prod
ucts show that the United States is
easily in the supremacy relative to any
country in the world. The commercial
statistics are equally satisfactory, for
now AT the head of the worlds great
exporting nations there stands the
United States. For the calendar year
1900 our exports of domestic products
were greater than those of any other
country. their total value for that year
being $1,453.O 13. 659. This means that
We can produce goods and lay them
down in other countries cheaper than
they can be produced in the countries
to which they go. Great Britain ranks
next. with $l,418.34S, 600, and Ger
many next, with 1850. GIL 900. Thus
the United States has reached the com
mercial supremacy of the great ex-
porting nations of the world. Twenty
five years ago this country stood
fourth IN rank. the United Kingdom
being first. Germany second and
France third. The United States has
increased her exports during the last
rs Yeas 1872 per cent, Germany 70 pei
cent. the United Kingdom "a per cent
and France 5 per cent.
The supremacy of the United States
Is due very largely to the enormous ex-
pansion Of manufacturing industry
during the last decade. Our manufac-
tured products 10Y constitute about 80
per cent of the total exports. In 1860
they were but ~ rs per cent. Through
our agricultural products we have been
feeding many countries. We are now
supplying them with both food and
fuel.
