OLD DEPOT is GOING
Midland Passenger station Is Being
Moved Away

The old Midland depot that has stood
at tic corner of Mosley and Douglas
avenues for years is being moved away
Yesterday it was blocked up, placed on
rollers and moved off the foundations

sold to the frisco that company put in
new windows. scrubbed the floors, and

weeks
Years age the windows were boarded

bled and fell. the small boys pulled the
boards Off the windows and played mar
bles on the floors and at night tramps
made it their home.
Thousands Of people passing down
Eat Douglas avenue looked at the big
frame building and asked what defunct
road owned it or what it was sused for.
It's dilapidated appearance caused many
a smile and invoked many criticism
on the city.

THE UNITED STATES LEADS
IN NATURAL TREASURE

That these figures clearly put the Unied States
in the lead In the production of all these ar.
ticles is shown by comparison ot the 1900 fig.
urcs Of production Of the United States with
those Of other countries. The London Daily Mail
Yearbook puts the pig iron output OF 1900 at:
United States. 13,TSO,2I2 tons; United Kingdom,
s,OOS,5i0 tons; Germany, S,A9i,s52 tons; Russia.
g so, 900 tons; France, 2,B99, ,i0i tons With the
1901 figures for the United States lj.SOO,000 tons
there can be no question that the United States
maintains the lead in iron production.
That the coal output OF The United States ior
1901 will surpaSs that Of any other country is
evident from a statement Of the above authority,
the London Daily Mail Yearbook, which states
that "the United States has for the last two
ycari oustripped us az coal.producng country.
In 1900 the United States total output was 2i6,-
49,. 900 (metrc) tons; that OF the United King.
dom, 225 1871 900 tons; Germany, l09,22j000 tons;
France. SO 900 tens; Belgium, 1852, 900 tons"
This statement, coupled with the fact that the
figures Of the United States production in 1901
exceed by 100000 tons those Of 1900, make It
apparent that the United States was in
1901 clearly in the lead in the worlds coal pro.
ducton.
As IL the precious metals, the estimate OF tho
min. bureau is that the United States product
Of both goll and silver exceeds in 1901 that Of
any other country
As to petroleum, while the Russian figures q
last year slightly exceeded those OF the United
States, II is probable that the enormous total
Of &C. 900 600 barrels or o,I12 100000 gallons es.
innate for the year 1901 places the United States
again in the lead in the production OF that az.
ticlc these figures showing all increase OF no..
O00, 900 gallons as compared with 1900
