The BILL WILL PASS.

At this writing it is considered GER
tain that the joint statehood bill will
pass the senate soon after the holiday
recess. While filibustering may be
attempted by the opponents of the bill
it is not thought that it will delay
long the passage of the measure as
the majority in its favor is 81 strong
that the opposition will probably sur
render and allow a vote to be taken.
Much Of the opposition to the bill
has been overcome by several impor.
tant amendments which have made
the bill much more acceptable to the
people OF New Mexico and Arizona.
The amendment of the greatest mo-
ment to the people of the proposed
new state Is the princely sum provid-
ed for the benefit of the public
schools. Five million dollars is set
aside for this purpose, the annual in
come from which is to be used by the
new state for the benefit Of It's public
schools. As this income should not
be less than 5000. 900. the Importance
Of this amendment will readily be
een Another important amendment
which was urged by the women of the
country. was the striking out of the
word g In the suffrage clause. This
enables the new state to permit fe-
male suffrage If it so desires. The
bill appropriates 100000 for defray-
ins the expenses OF the elections and
convention for which the measure

mining and statistical information
furnished by the government, is yet
the source from which some valuable
lessons may be drawn. It need only
be remembered that a similar pre-.
sentation for 1908 would be still

than during 1902.

THE WORLDS
PRODUCTION

The United States treasury de-
partment recently issued IA circular
giving much valuable information
In regard to the production of
precious metals, the coinage of
metals, etc. The following abstract
gives the salient points touched
upon:
With regard to gold. In 1903 the
worlds output was 5,963, $50 fine
ounces, worth $3.50, 600, 900, against
s96, 100000 In 1873. or silver
the Ouptut WAS 100000 fine
ounces, worth S9l, 10000 but OF II
so called "coinage value" of s2l9-
797.9 300. The worlds coinage of
gold in 1902 was 1920, 405, 1875,
against Si66, ,ll0,6l4 In 1899 end
1851, $50, 802 In 1873. Coinage
varies greatly with the years, the
value In 1874 falling suddenly ia

who employed on the average 49,
638 wage earners and paid sl2, sol,
935 In wages.
The 46,4 producing operators
thus made a profit, over and above
the cost of production, of about S5,
523 apiece, which does not seem a
very large sum, and yet, when the
great number of lone man" mines
and very small undertaking, Ia
taken into consideration, makes a
very fair average profit. In this
summation, moreover, has been in
cluded the very large number OF
operators, with their relatively low
production, comprised In the oil
aud coal fields and the stone
quarries, whose number largely OK.
ceeds all others.
Let us take only the operators In
copper, gold aud silver, lead and
zinc, who number 3, 695, or ~ per
cent only OF the total number of
operators. while their products are
1876 per cent of the whole value, or
when we include sS7,2l4, 4522, the
value OF refined products Of gold,
silver and other metals, not con
sidered In the census table, over
twenty eight per cent of the total
values. Then the result Is very
different; the individual profits are
about $40, 2O5, which makes quite Il
respectable, showing.
In other words the producing
gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc
mines of the United State, averaged
in 1902 profit for their owners OF
over s36. 900 piece, or 80, 600 pei
month for each one over aud above
all expenses.
We have not been able to obtain
similar comprehensive tables fol

country, and consequently cannot
make com PARSONS. We do not
hazard error, however, when we de
clare that no other class of business,
or enterprise whatsoever carried OF
In the United States can make sc

so when we consider the marked
advance made in every department
of the mining industry since thu

RUTH CLEVELAND DEAD
Oldest Daughter Of Ex-Prestdent Fell
By Dlptherla.

Princeton, N. j., Special.-Ruth, the
eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Grover
Cleveland, died in this city Thursday
very unexpectedly, the Immediate
cause of death being a weakening OF
the heart action during mild attack
O. diphtheria. Dr. Wyckoff, the at
tending physician, said that Miss
Cleveland had been i'll with mild
form of diphtheria for four days. and
that the heart affection was not an
ticipated.
The Cleveland household is grief
stricken over the death Of the Oldest
daughter and many messages OF con-
do,ence are being received. The private
school which Ruth attended has been
closed for the rest of the week out OF
respect.
President John N. Ninley, Of the Col
lege of the City Of New York, Mr..
Cleveland's personal friend, has come
here to make all arrangements for the
funeral.
In response to many inquiries, for
mer President Cleveland gave out the
following statement:
after a few days illness, which be-
gan with an attack Of tonsilitis and
developed yesterday suddenly into
diphtheria, our oldest daughter, Ruth.
died today, suddenly"
Ruth Cleveland was born on October
8, 1891, in her fathers residence, at 6S1
Madison avenue, New York, after Mr..
Cleveland had served his first term as
President. She was named after Mr..
Cleveland's grandmother, and as Baby
Ruth was a great favorite in Wash
ington society during her fathers sec
ond term in the White House. Mr.. and
Mrs. Cleveland have four remaining
children.
It is now understood that it was the
child's illness that prevented Mrs
Cleyeland's attendance at the dinner
tc Mayor Mcclellan, in New York, on
January 4.
The funeral services will be held at
the Cleveland home, conducted by Rev.
Maitland Bartlett. Mr.. Cleveland, with
President Kinley, Of the College of the

pany the body to Princeton cemetery,
