Walter Larson went to the workl1ouse

1ecause he tried to escape from Derec-

SPEAKS WELL FOR UTAH.
outh Dakota's Record for Last Year
Shows Decreased Gold Production.

The states showing substantial in
crease in gold production for 1903, says
the Mining Reporter, are Utah, Arl-
zona, Idaho and Nevada, the group OF
four great inter-mountain states whose
mining resources are great and varied
Aside from the early operations at GER
tain points In Nevada and Idaho this
group represents the newer sections
OF our mining area as regards extent
OF development. The decrease In Colo
RADIOS output Is chargeable entirely
TO disturbing industrial conditions
within the state, which has been the
storm center OF agitation. Callfornla's
production Of sl6.535.525 In gold shows
a decrease Of but about s256,O0O below
that of 1902, indicating a stability OF
conditions, although. II. is known that
the output Of some OF her mines was
curtailed by labor strikes. Utah's in
crease Of gold product to the amount
Of Sl,4500OQ for the year, as well as
her marked increase In copper and
silver. brings that state into special
prominence. The decrease In the Black
Hills, South Dakota, has been the most
noticeable and In that section labor
troubles contributed to some extent TO
the curtailment, though much OF this
was doubtless due 20 a state of reor-
ganzation and development which
various properties were undergoing.
