FOrecasted That the Mines Of the
United States Will Produce SOo,.
900 Pounds This Year.
UTAH HAS MADE GREAT GAINS.
Production Three Times Greater Than
Six Years Ago Arizona Also
Making Rapid Progress.

A careful estimate OF the increase IN
the copper production Of the United
states for 1904, by an eastern authority,
based upon canvass Of all the inn
portant producers IN the country, indi-
Gates that the figures, Shlch viii be
compiled at the end Of the year. should
show a total output OF close TO 100000
600 pounds for the year These figures
represent an increase over last years
production OF S4.00O00O pounds. as
against an increase OF 560OOOO0 pounds
recorded for 1903 over 1902 This fore
cast necessarily assumes the cohtln-
ued existence OF conditions now in eff
feet In the various copper producing
states until the end Of the year and
likewise takes cognzance Of the vari-
GUS Improvements contemplated before
the end Of 1904. The shutdown OF any
important producer OR any length Of
time would make a radical change in
the figures.
While the estimate made covers the
details Of the output OF all the impor-
tant mines and producing agents, slight
changes may occur before the termina-
ton of the present year to alter the
final result. Illustrating, however, the
accuracy OF these compilations, It may
be pointed out that the Nov York Com
mercial last October estimated the 1908
copper production at 7l7.O0OOOO pounds,
whereas the figures used for statistical
purposes, recently published, placed the
output at 100000 pounds. showing a

CONSUMPTION or COTTON
Comprehensive Report to Be Issued
by Department of Agriculture.
II VIII Show n Phenomenal Increase
of Consumption In Oar own
COttOn-Gr0wing States.

Washington, May 21.--The depart
fnent of agriculture will issue shortly
comprehensive report Oh the con-
sumption of cotton in the cotton states,
compiled by ]. l.. Watkins, the cotton
expert of the bureau of statistics. Re-
viewing the industry In the past 20
years. 1t says that Notwithstanding the
great increase in the worlds consump-
ton of cotton, the overshadowing fea-
ture of the period is the phenomenal
increase in consumption in the. cot
ton states. This consumption, in the
south, increased 1907, 900 bales, or 500
per cent, the consumption in the north
increased in 20 years 100000 bales, or
So per cent, and in the whole counz
try 2,369,0O0 balQ,, or nearly 14S per
cent. The report says every additional
10000 bales consumed in this country
means shorter time for some foreign
mill, perhaps its shutting down, If no
further expansion of the cotton crop
takes place. During the past 20 years
the United States has increased its cot
ton. crop nearly 100000 bales, or
about 96 per cent; midas crop has in
creased 100000 bales Of 400 pounds
each, or 3per cent; Egypt's crop has
increased $4,000 bales of 500 pounds
each, or 70 per cent; Egypt's crop has
used to draw so largely upon this eoun-
try for her raw cotton, is now sup
plying her own mills with 100000 to
100000 bales grown in her trans-Cas-
plan provinces. The worlds consump-
ton of cotton has increased nearly
100000 bales, or about "a per cent,
and the United States, the largest pro-
Queer, also has become the largest con-
sumner of cotton. The price of its sta
pie is now regulated in the home mar
ket instead of Liverpool.

o'clock Friday night said that the F.
Crow river, which runs through
Cheyenne, is running bank full as a
result of heavy rains. From eight to
twelve miles of the main line of the

Crow. The river in Cheyenne has
spread out over the lower sections,
flooding the dwellings and business
houses. Telegraph wires between
Denver and Cheyenne are disabled.
Six persons are known to have been
drowned, namely: Two Clayton chill
dren, private Hughes, of the Thirteenth

a child, whose names have not been
learned. Besides these, many persons
are missing. The Union Pacific tracks

Ravages Of the English Sparrow.

A general complaint is being reg
istered in Dickson against the raw
ages of the English sparrow, the
depredations of which are the worst
this year ever known. Neither
orchard, field nor garden escape
their rapacious beaks, and in num-
berless instances even Irish potato
plants are totally destroyed. And
the worst of it is there seems to be
no way Of getting rid of the pests OK
cept by poison, and that is an OK
trcmely dangerous method. Some
farmers claim that in feeding their
poultry these birds swarm down in
great droycs and frequently consume
as much feed as do the fowls.

Blackberry winter has set Newt

chant of that place, didn't know at
what time he might be visited by
burglars, who have been quite busy
about Union City lately, and night
or two ago, to outwit the midnight
gentry, he placed $40 in a stove with
some other paper. As there was no
excuse why the stove should longer
remain idle, some one last week
