The census office has received through
the State Department a consular report
on the population Of the German empire
and its changes in the last century. The
population is now about 56,000,000 be-
ing larger than that of any other country
in Europe except Russia, which has in
Europe alone over 106,O00,000 subjects
In 1899 the whole German empire had
population of about 26,000,000, and at
the close of the Napoleonic wars in 1915
Germany, although somewhat reduced in
size, had population of something more
than 30,000,000. In 1915, since which
date the area has remained almost con-
slant Germany had 34,000,000; in 1863,
100000: in 1885. 47,000,000 and in
1900 about 55,500000, an increase in the

DEVELOPING THE PACIFIC.
Ore Body Struck at Depth Of IS Feet
Franklin Farrells Deep
Shaft

Clinton c. Clark, formerly clerk of the
district court. and Wakeman Sutton
have taken lease on the Pacific claim,
located near the entrance to Horse cam
yon, and are now developing it. The
shaft reached depth of IS feet last Sat-
urday and the ore body was just coming
into it. The ore in that section carries
copper and silver, the former predom-
mating.
Near the Pacific Franklin Farrell OF
Ansonia, Conn.,, who at one time was
heavily interested in the Parrot COM
pany, is sinking a three-compartmAn mt
shaft and his intention is to carry it to
a depth of 1000 feet This work, when
completed, will be sufficient. it is
thought, to determine the value of that
section for mining purposes. Several
shafts have been sunk there. but on &c.
count of the immense quantity seepage
water to handle and the limited amount
of capital back of the enterprises no
greater depth than $50 or 300 feet was
ever attained. The property on which
Mr.. farrell is doing his work is equipped
with modern pumping machinery. The
shaft is now down about so feet. The
surface rock of that entire district IL
mineralized, and it is believed that when
the proper depth is attained solid ore
bodies will be found.

crowned his efforts and during the fol-
lowing thirty days he extracted ali
classes of rich copper ore. Just as the
month was drawing to close. however.
a question arose between the owners of
the ground and the Anaconda company
as to the right of the lessee to mine
at the point at which the ore body was
struck and it resulted in the closing
down Of the property. The Anaconda,
it is understood. owns an adjoining
location and claims the vein on the apex
proposition. Had Pierson been permit
ted to work the ground six months or q
year he would have been able to build
a brown stone front and take it easy

This vast sum does not include the
properties Of the Colorado company,
which must aggregate several millions,
or those realized by Senator Clark from
his copper and gold properties. 1t is
estimated that the Maytower gold mine,
located near Whitehall, has netted Mr..
Clark about 100000 in the last three
years. To this can be added probably an
equal amount realized from his Butte
mines. The product of both the May
flower and Butte properties owned by
the senator are treated at the Butte Ee-
duction works, which also belong to him.
The Moulton company has not operated
it's property for nearly two years, bu.
this fact is not due to a lack of ore.
The Moulton mine, from which the cOm-
pany's mill was supplied, is silver pro-
Queer, being located on the great Rain
bow ledge in north Walkerville, and il
sufficiently developed to determine its
value as a silver proposition. Nearly
all of the stock of the company, how
ever is held by Senator Clark, who does
not care to mine the ore at the prevail
ing price of silver while he has gold ard
copper mines to which he can devote his
aeitttnon. The last dividend paid by the
company was in October of 1899.
The Alice is another company effected
by the low price of silver. 1t has not
paid dividend since April of 1898. 4,
has several mining claims, among which
are the Alice, Blue Wing and Magma
Charta, all containing reserve bodies Of
silver-cOpper ore. Like the Moulton. the
Alice is taking a rest, which accounts
for the long period between dividends
A few men are working some of the
claims under lease, but beyond this the
mills are quiet and thief old scenes @
animation in and about the mines are
but a memory.
Then there is the Lexington company.
A few years ago it closed down it's 90
stamp mill and has done nothing since
except keep its property in repair.
