FOUND GYPSUM.
lucky Mark Lulley Makes Rich Strike of Very Valuable Natural
 Product.

Along with a fine array of ore
 samples. MT. Mark Lulley has this
 week, had displayed in the front
 window of the Boston Clothing
 House. of Mir. Louis B. Fleischer,
 large quantity of samples of gyp-
 sum from an immense deposit he
 has fonnd and located at a point
 within very short distance from
 the main line of the Southern Paci-
 fc Railway.
 Some time ago MT. Lulley for warded samples from this deposit 10 Mir. Frank T. Geers, the we'll known analytical chemist at 800 Devisadero streetin San Francisco, and accompanying the certificate showing the rock to be selenite Ia fine quality of gypsum), Mir. Geers sent letter stating that the deposit would be we'll worth looking after So Mark looked after 1t, and has secured the entire body amounting to great area of ground.
 Gypsum Is used in a variety of ways. The crude article, ground and applied to land is q very great fertilizer, a d in tn e United States many thousand tons are annually consumed in that way. But its principal uses have been in the manufacture of plaster of Paris and Portland cement, and their use and manufacture in the United States has increased won derfully in recent years. This great growth is due to the increased use of plaster of Paris for wall plasters in modern office buildings, and for the manufacture of stuff for tenn porary buildings Gypsum plaster is much hardes1and much more durable than lime plaster. For this purpose the gypsum is calcined. The output ill the United States was S0,000 tons in 1890, worth about $400,000. In 1900i it had in- creased to 100000 tons worth $1,- 100000. Beside that there was an importation, mostly from Canada, in 1900 valued at $315,0OO.
 The growth of the Portland ce- ment industry is yet more remark able. It is made in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Colorado, Texas, Kan sas. Indiana and Virginia, and last year its production was begun in Georgia and West Virginia. In 1890 sixteen works produced 335,- 0OO barrels; in 1894, twenty-four works produced more than 79S,00O barrels; in 1896 thirty-six works produced over 5.6O0,0O0 barrels and in 1900 fifty works put out s. 4S2,000 barrels, with a total value of S9, ,2S0,525. In the same year the importation amounted to Z. 3OO,000 barrels.
 High grade Portland cement is more cheaply in this country than in Europe, is -olt nearly one dollar per barrel cheap CT than the imported article and the home production stands the test of use much better.
 The deposit discovered by Mark Lulley is believed to be of great value. Its extent is illimitable, and experts pronounce it of the finest quality. It is in course of investigation by heavy capitalists with view to its utilization.

Refused to Say Whether Roosevelt
Has Communicated With Mitchell.
= Washington, Oct. 15.-All efforts to
ascertain at the White House whether
President Roosevelt has communicate
ed with President Mitchell the PROPOSE
ton of the mine operators with view
to the resumption of work were un-
availing. The officials there decline
absolutely to say anything on the sub
ject at this time for publication. The
impression is quite general however,
in Washington that Roosevelt, in con-
tinuation of his determination to
bring about the resumption of work
If possible, has addressed some sort
of communication to Mr.. Mitchell in
connection with the operators PROPOSE
ton and that reply from him may
come at any time. Indeed it would
not be surprising if Mr. Mitchell has
not been invited to come to Washing
ton to talk over the situation with
the president, but whether he has or
not the officials will not say. Secre-
tary Root was again at the White
House for an hour in the afternoon.
and the belief is that he discussed
again with the president features
hearing on the coal strike, but he
would not talk about the matter.

Those in the Scranton Region Could
Be Operated in a Week.
Scranton, Pa, Oct. 15.-The super
intendents of the local mining COM
panies say that as far as this region
is concerned the majority of the mines
could be worked to their fullest ca
pacitys within a week after the strike
was off. With the exception of. few
places men have been at work right
along cleaning up falls, keeping the
timbering repaired and otherwise pre-
pairing for the day when work would
be resumed. All the mines with but
one or two exceptions have been kept
free of water and gas, and inside of ten
days could be in full operation. One
of the exceptions is the Hallstead col
liery of the Delaware and Hudson
company at Duyrea, at which pumping
operations were abandoned This
mine was nearly worked out" and
will probably never be reopened. No
further assumptions we're reported
from any of the companies officers
during the day.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company gave out a state
ment that it's output for Monday was
1O,985 tons, or SIS per cent of it's nor
NAL production.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Postmaster General Payne Outlines
It's Contents

. I st .
Milwaukee, Oct Is. 49, Postmaster
General Henry c. Payne, in an inter
view, said that the forthcoming an
nual message of President Roosevelt
to congress would probably recon-
mend permanent tax commission to
be appointed. ...-
The president will probably favor
g reduction of import duties upon
products which no longer need pro-
lection" said Mr.. Payne. "He is also
s1nclined to favor the creation of a
permanent tax commission which
can at all times receive testimony sub
ject to expert consideration, the vary
ing interests of production and trade:
submitting their reports and recon-
mendations to congress, as other
branches of the national government.
This will insure the thorough and
careful compilation of all information
accessible, and will save to congress
s1onal committees vast amount of
labor This was the policy outlined
by the president in his speech at To-
gansport, Ind, which he had prepared
1or delivery at Milwaukee, and which,
it is safe to predict, will be embodied
In his annual message to congress.
He Is strongly in earnest in these
views, as well as those in relation to
reciprocity as a feature OF our COM
mercial intercourse with foreigns ma
tons.
,"Since the adjournment of congress
overwhelming manifestations that the
people favor reciprocity with Cuba in
dictate that the opposition to that meas
ure has faded away, and that congress
will at an early day redeem the pledge
made by President Mckinley for re-
clprocity with the young republic"
