Our Mineral Output.

Our mineral products, as shown
by the Geological Survey, shows
the total value of the mineral
products for 1901, 81, 900, 639, AS.
The increase IN the production
of petroleum in California during
1902 was remarkable, although
fewer wells were drilled than IN
the preceding year. The year 1902
gave Louisiana "A distinctive place
among the petroleum producing
states. The production and sales
for the year amounted to 54S.6l7
barrels, valued mt SlSS,9S5. The
oil production IN Texas in 1902,
including that stored IN tanks, was
1S,5l5,007 barrels.
In the last six years the Iron.ore
output of the United States has
doubled in quantity.
This concentration Iof the iron.
ore resources of the country in
the hands of few persons Is the
most significant thing IN the re-
port Its full significance can be
realized only when one remembers
how absolutely our present I'M
parallelcd prosperity is the result
of the development of our iron ore
resources.

lMiss Edith Hughes, OF Brigham
Utah, lectured to a large and APP
preciative audience at the Presby-
terisn church Tuesday evening on
the evils of Mormonism. She
dyelt largely upon the subserv-
iency of the Mormons to their
church government. She claims
THAT they bold to the idea of an
anthropomorphic God and that an
unmarried woman cannot enter
into q future world, and vet Nor
mon missionaries are making
rhany proselytes. In the early
days the Mormons tried to keep
their members in ignorance but
now they have good schools and
normal institutes and are sending

teaching in Boston. No one eau
be loyal to the Mormon church
and loyal to the country, and no
one can be loyal to the country
sud loyal to the Mormon church.
The only way to prevent the spread
Of Mormonism is to become famil-
lar with the true inwsrdness Of
this religion which, well under

HIS CLOSING YEARS.
The Venerable Washington Was Not
Permitted to Live Them in
Peace and Quiet.

While Washington was permitted to
spend his remaining days at Mount
Vernon, he did not succeed in finding
the peace and leisure that he had
longed for. His house was filled with
guests, and his correspondence was
large and laborious. In one of the
kaleidoscope changes in the govern
ment of France the United States was
on the verge of war with that people,
and Washington was made command
er-in-chief of the forces which were
tc be raised. He accepted under pro-
test, with the condition that he should
not be called in active service unless
the country was invaded. The cloud
passed over, however, without war.
During his closing years he took great
interest in projects for opening up
commerce with the country being set
tied west of the Alleghenies, and made
a donation which led to the establish
ment of Washington college. now
Washington and Lee university. He
took much interest in the Society Of
the Cincinnati, comprising commits
stoned officers of the revolution. The
care of his estates took up the re-
mainder of his time, and Of leisure no
had none. The, end came December
IA, 1899, through cold he took from
getting wet in looking over his es-
tate
