WHAT IS BEING DONE
IN THE MINING WORLD
Colorado Coal Production.

Recently published statistics show
that the total production of coal in the
United States in 1902 exceeded 800. .000,-
900 short tons, the highest amount
ever reached in the history of the coun-
try. 1t is also shown that the increase
in Colorado's product was 2,314,4 ,412
tnos.
Since in 1901 the coal product of this
state amounted to $685., ,435 tons, it is
seen that the product last year was
7.949, ,S47 tons. The increase was more
than forty per cent. compared with
1901, and there is good reason to be-
lieve that the product will continue to
increase.
In 1901 the value of coal in this state
a, the mire was $1.11 a ton. making a
total value for that year of $6,24S, ISL
AT the same rate the product last year
was worth at the mine nearly $4,000
600.
From these figures one may form an
idea of the value of the coal industry
to the state. 1t is rapidly climbing
toward the level of gold mining. and it
is not improbable that before the end
of the present decade it will have taken
first place among our mineral produc-
ing industries.
The production of coal in Colorado
means more than the value of that in
dustry alone, as though the coal were
all sold on the open market in this and
other states. To large extent it is
an adjunct to other industries which
form the market for its consumption.
large part of the output of the mines
of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company
is consumed in the iron and steel works
Of that company. Thus Colorado coal
is linked with the production of iron
and steel on large scale, and in GER
tain sense its production is measure
of what the state is doing in other in
dustcies-Denver Republican.

LeadyjlIe Output.

4 Leadville correspondent says: The
output for the month of September has
been about 1880 tons. Considering
the conditions in the state at this time,
this is a remarkable output and goes
to show the strength of the mining sit
uation in Leadville, in being able to
produce so many kinds of ore.
1t is a fact that If all of the smelters
in the state were running, the output
could be increased. AS Leadville fur
nishes the fluxing ores of the state, it
is quite natural that it should feel the
effects of the shutdown at Telluride
and Cripple Creek. The American
Smelling and Refining Company plant
here is receiving its full tonnage and is
handling over 1000 tons of ore day.
The zinc market has also been excep-
tionally good throughout the month
and the steady production of ore of that
class now being maze promises to keep
up.

Alaska Tin Mines.

A Tacoma dispatch says: Results ac-
eomplished this season show that tin
deposits of Cape York, north of Cape
Nome. will become an important fac
tor in the worlds supply output This
year has been greater than expected
without machinery. Plants have been
ordered and their operation next year
will result in a large output. Several
companies and numerous individual
miners have made small fortunes this
season. though they are as yet unable
to realize cash on the tin produced.
John Nadon returned two weeks ago
from the tin region beyond Cape Prince
of Wales Nadon and his partner
found a pay streak eight feet in depth
and exceeding seventy feet wide.
Benches adjoining streams of that To-
cality are full of tin. Nadon's men
shoveled in $50 pounds of tin ore per
man per day. and he believes every
pound will average sixty per cent tin.
Thus far the ground has averaged
eighty pounds of tin ore to the cubic
yard. They have mined fifteen tons of
tin this year and will take out seven
tons more before freeze up.
Next year Nadon will operate with
hydraulic machinery. enabling him to
handle 500 to 700 yards of gravel daily.
He says prospecting of the tin district
has only begun, and predicts an output
when machinery is introduced that will
supply American needs.

Easy to Get,

Pierpont, o., Oct. 5th.-Remarkable
indeed is the experience of Mr.. A. s.
Turner. a man now over seventy-one
years of age, and whose home is here
For many years this old gentleman
had suffered with a very unpleasant
form of Kidney Trouble, kind that
very often bothers aged people. He
would have to get up four or five
times every night, and this very tire
some disease was fast wearing him
out.
At last after having almost made up
his mind that he would never be
able to get relief, he stumbled over a
medicine which relieved him almost
Immediately, and has cured him per-
manently. 1t is so very easy to get
and so simple that Mr.. Turner thinks
everyone should know of it. Every
dealer in the country has it. and all
you have to do is to ask for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. Mr. Turner says:-
81 can heartily and honestly recon-
mend Dodd's Kidney Pills for they
cured me. Several others in the fam
lily have used them too, and always
with the best results. l think they

Lumber supply Decreasing.

Estimates by conservative lumber
men show that the days of numbering
in the upper peninsula of Michigan
will soon be past. Before five years
have passed there will be practically
no timber left standing in Baraga,
Houghton and Keweenaw counties
large enough to make log. Menom-
inee county, which about ten years ago
was the largest lumber producing dis
trict in the world, has lost its rank
and now produces scarcely tenth Of
its former amount. The mills which
were located there have been moved
10 Louisiana and Washington. Baraga
has timber enough to keep its few
mills running for few years more,
but like all the other parts of the state
where numbering has been carried on,
Its end is near. Every season makes
the timber tracts of Houghton county
smaller.

WASTED POSTAGE STAMPS.
Net Uncle Sam Mere Than a Million
Dollars a Year.


An experienced clerk in a branch
postoffice up town says that Uncle
Sem is in pocket every year more
IAN $1,0Oo,00O by purchases of post
age stamps which never are used.
How many stamps" he says, do
you lose through carrying them care
lessly in your pockets and fishing them
out again. glued together and useless?
How many do you put in a corner of
your pocketbook. finding them again
months later looking like anything but
postage stamps? OF course, nobodr
ever thinks of sending such stamps IN
for redemption. Suppose the waste
am speaking of averaged 30 cents an
nually for each business man. The to-
tai would be enormous.
Hot weather was a great revenue
maker for the government before the
little oiled books came. in; but many
persons lose their books, and the aver
age is about the same. Some persons
actually come back to the stamp win
dow and ask If lost stamp books can
be traced, like bank books. Another
way In which Uncle Sam gains is
through tradesmen sending out letters
inelosing stamped addressed envelopes
for replies which in the majority of
cases are never used
Some business houses collect such
envelopes and redeem them, but few
take the trouble to do this. Think of
the thousands of return postal cards,
too, that are never used. Lots of per-
sons are careless of putting stamps on
letters or papers, and they fall of.
Then the matter is held up for double
postage on the other end of the line.

Zinc Production,

In reports of the production of lead
and zinc for the year 1902, which have
been prepared for. the Geological Sur
-vey, the total output of lead for the en-
tire country is placed at 100000 short
tons and of zinc at 156,297 short tons.
The lead production was about the
same as in 1901, but there was an in
crease of about ten per cent in zine
production.
In the matter of lead the report
notes falling off in the production of
the Rocky Mountains and an increase
in the Mississippi region.
Colorado has become an important
producer of zinc, the output for the
year for that state being placed at 26.-
241 short tons, valued at $2,544,993.

BIRD vENTRILooUiSTs.

M. Emile Merwart, secretary general

ventriloquial fowls. These birds, the
Temps says, are greatly amusing to
visitors to the gardens, who assemble
around their cage by their cries, which
at one time appear to come from the
trees, at others from the sky, and
sometimes from the midst of the crowd
itself The flesh of the birds Is said

The Exclamation.

Prohibition is making rapid pro-
gress in Texas, where more than two
hundred out of the two hundred ana
forty-six counties yevoted In favor
of the exclusion of the liquor traffic.
Surprise has beeh expressed at this
action, by people who know the
Texans from reputation rather than
contact, and an explanation has been
sought. 1t is furnished by the Press,
of Philadelphia, as follows:
"Texas has grown rapidly IN popu-
lation. In the ten years from 1891
to 1900 the whitepopulatlon lncreas-
ed 80 per cent and the negro popula-
ton 27 per cent. There were only
40 Indians, all taxed, in thestate III
1900 Only 20 per cent of the popu-
lation is colored, but these are work
ers. The negroes are said to be
strongly inclined to drink intoxi-
cants, which interferred with their
work in the cotton fields. A local
option law was passed largely to en-
able the counties so inclined to re-
move temptation from the colOred
workers. A number OF counties took
advantage of this law by voting
against the saloon and strictly en-
forcing prohibition. These counties
were in the minority, but the excel
lent results that followed theirexperi-
ment increased the popularity OF the
local option law.
"Seven years ago majority OF the
246 counties had adopted local OPP
ton, and row only about forty
counties allow the sale of intoxicating
liquors. 1t is said that the Legislature
will pass state prohibtory law, and
drive the liquor dealers beyond its
frontiers. They expect such legisla.
ton and are preparing to move else
where or give up the business"
