THE WORLDS GOLD SUPPLY.
Rapid Increase in Output of Precious
Metal ENpected

Prof. Shaler in the International Monthly
II has been reckoned that in the deposit
of clay on which the city of Philadelphia
stands there is enough of the metal TO gid
the fronts OF all the buildings in the place.
Here the amount is So small that il has no
more prospective value than that contained
In the sea water. Thus while i: NAV be
said that wherever a person may be on the
surface OF the earth. or on the ocean, there
Is likely 10 be enough gold within a mile
OF his feet To make him millionaire, the
places where gold can conceiVab!y be won
at profit are relatively few
The most important increase that is to be
looked Tor in vein mining arises however
from the rapid Improvement in the modes
OF applying power to such work. The gain
IN this regard in the last half century
through the invention Of power drills more
effective explosives. better hoisting systems
and more efficient methods of treating the
ores. is such that on the average. in terms
of labor. IL probably does not at present

Making no allowance for future improve

very great and rapid increase in the an
nual supply of this precious metal from the
betterrnents already effected. AS to the ex

STRIKE AEERTED.
BrickIayers af Government Printing
Office viii Appeal to Congress.

The strike threatened at the new govern
mert printing office over the contention of
the bricklayers for a half days pay on the
holiday preceding New Year day has been
averted. The men stopped work Tuesday
rs did other departmental employees. claim
ing that they We're entitled to half holi-
day and pay for the same. Under a ruling
of Controller TraCeweIl it was held that
there IS a marked difference between these
brickiayers and the permanent per diem
employees The controller maintains that
while the latter are entitled to pay for half
holidays the former are not The brick
layers contended that they are as much
permanent employees as any of those at
work in the government printing office and
other departments of the government serv-
ice who arc allowed pay for half holidays
This was the difference that existed this
morning between the government officials

ported for work usual. contrary to ex-
pectations. but they found that the weather
was too cold for outdoor work and after a
short time We're forced to Law down their
trowels- Consequently there has been no
work done by the bricklayers at the print
ing office today.
One of the bricklayers speaking of their
grievances to an Evening Star reporter to-
day, said:

PASSING OF THE CASCO.
Ancient Filipino Craft That Lighters
Will Soon Supplant.

From the New York SUM-
1.-The march of progress is undoubtedly
going to be great thing for the Filipino
one of these days." said a man who got
back from the islands not long ago. But
one Of the prices he's got to pay for 1t is
the gradual wiping out of picturesque GUS
toms and traditions of many centuries
standing. A good example is the passing
of the Filipino casco before the improved
and wholly unidentified lighter of western
commerce.
''The casco is a craft for coast and river
commerce, and at the same time the per-
manent home Of its crew and commander,
or patron. the former living forward and
the latter aft. 1t is long, crude-looking
structure, hooded or covered with bamboo,
and under the manipulations of expert
boatmen Is capable Of rather surprising
agility. Manila is not a city of good
wharves, nor is Manila bay a deepwater
harbor, hence when big ships arrive their
cargoes must be lightered ashore, and this
has been the cascos work for ages.
THE larger cascoes have tonnage of
from 20 to 100 tons and the smaller ones,
or casquitos, of from to 20 tons, and they
range from 20 to 80 feet in length with a
12-foot extreme beam, and when loaded
draw only 2ls to 3 feet of water. They are
built Of a light, tough wood grown in the
province Of Batam, which resembles teak
and will last for centuries on land or
water
"Cascoes are usually propelled by bam-
boo pole eighteen or twenty feet long, In
the hands Of the husky Filipino river men.
The poles are spiked and padded so the
crews may place them against their shoul-
ders to give force to their pushes. The
crews number from five to ten men, and
they and their families live almost wholly
on rice, fish, oysters, clans and shrimps.
Their pay Is peso day. about 90 cents.
At night the bow is cleared and the deck
spread with palm mats and on these men,
women and children lie down like sardines
In a box"

OUR INDUSTRIAL RESOURCES.

funds in its treasury have increased in pro-
portions which a European finance minis

from the throne elsewhere are but too often
obliged 10 take refuge in the misleading
phrase that the country, thanks to its nat
ural resources, will succeed in overcoming
the bitter distress of the moment, the Pres

sage is in a position to make statements
that would sound strange in Europe. Ev-
erywhere else there is the economic strug-
gle the deep concern for trade, and almost
every state finds itself in presence of the
question as to what pressure can still be

But in North America the President begins
by announcing that the condition of the
country is everywhere prosperous, amid
the cheers of his hearers. whose applause
is certainly not prompted by any cringing
motives. He, too, speaks of the natural
resources of the country, but what he
fers to are the best and living resources
namely, the citizens and merchants who
have created American trade.

ARIZONA'S NEW COFFEE.
Utilization Of the Mesquite Bean as a
Food Product.

From the Kansas City Star
The utilization of the mesquite bean as a
substitute for coffee and as a food product
is the plan of company which Is organiz-
ing in Arizona. The head of the project
claims that after exhaustive tests, cover
ing a period of two years, he has discover
ed method Of treating the mesquite bean
which gives it flavor closely resembling
that of coffee, and that another process
makes the bean an excellent substitute for
cornmeal. AS a beverage 1t has, he de-
clares, the stimulating effect Of coffee,
while it lacks some of the deleterious ef-
fects.
If claims can be proved many millions
of acres of arid land will be productive Of
revenue The mesquite is essentially a des-
ert growth and fiourishes where all elsc
save the cactus, perishes from want Of
water. 1t is to be found in nearly all the
unirrigated lands of New Mexico, southern
California and Old Mexico, but is particu
larly common in Arizona. AS rule the
mesquite shrub attains a growth of ten to
fifteen feet, but sometimes develops into
tree Of large size, in shape much like a
full-groWn apple tree. Its leaves are fern
like and it's limbs are covered with thorns,
with a wood which is worthless for all
else but fuel, in which latter capacity it is
the principal source in this country. Its

long been known that cattle and horses
would browse on them when other food
was scarce, and some of the Indian tribes
used them as food it has never. until re-
Gently been believed that they would ever
become of marketable value.
The Pima, Maricopa and Papago In
dams dry the beans and grind them into
flour, and indeed the mesquite bean has
been all that has stood between the In
dams and a condition Of absolute starva-
tion when the drought destroyed the crops
of the red men.
1t was two years ago when the investi-
gator first visited the Pima reservation in
the ella valley, that he conceived the idea Of
using the mesquite bean. The white settlers
above the reservation had diverted the
rivers flow on their own lands and left
none for the Indians. AS consequence the
Indiaps suffered greatly Their grain fields
We're totally destroyed through lack of ir-
rigation, and theirl cattle died by thous-
ands from hunger and thirst The Indians
themselves subsisted for many months up
on an almost exclusive diet of mesquite
flour, and thrived upon 1t apparently as
we'll as upon grain fOod.s
