Cultivation Of Rubber Plant.

Colorado Is truly wonderful state.
The varied character of its industries
has long been known. Few persons,
however. thought n few years ago that
the production Of rubber would ever
be one of them.
: The discovery of n rubber plant in
digenous to this state has wrought
wonderful change and now 1t is an
nounced that within eighteen months
there will be ten factories in operation
extracting rubber from the Colorado
plant and producing as much of the
crude product from an acre as an acre
in the tropics Of Africa from n rubber
plant of different species.
Inquiry seems to have settled salts
factorily two important matters. The
first Is that the plant in question pro-
duces enough rubber to make its ex-
traction n profitable industry. The
other is that the plant can be produced
by cultivation. The rubber factories
will not have to depend solely upon the
supply of these plants growing wild
in the mountains. They can be pro-
duced, and thus the stock can be
maintained from year to year.
1t Is represented that the cost per
ton of crude rubber will be only about
5000, whereas the present price Is
about Sl,SO0 This will leave a big
margin of profit. The demand for rub
ber Is so great that 1t will require
many years for its production in this
state to reduce the price.

Production Of Iron Ore.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The report Of
John Birkinbine to the geological sur.
vey on the production of iron ores in
1903 shows that the United States has
surpassed all competitors in its yearly
output of iron ores. 1t says that the
quantity of iron ore produced in the
United States in 1903 was 35,019 ,30S
long tons, decrease of 534,S27 long
tons from 1902.
The quantity mined in 1908. Is, how.
ever the second lar. est recorded and
is greater than the combined totals for
the year 1902 of Germany, Luxemb1lrg
and the British empire, which are the
nearest competitors Of the United
States.
Nevada was added this year to the
list of producing states, while Fer-
mont and Montana reported no ore
mined in 1908.

touncil OF the Parliamentary session
was held yesterday afternoon at the
foreign Office and gave particular at
tention to thS question of the neu-

After the council closed the emphat-

Britain feels 1t absolutely essential to
her own interests and those of the en-
tire world that the neutrality of China
shall be observed by the two belllger-
ents. Great Britain will make earnest
efforts to secure this result.
In connection with the Knight Com

will instruct Ambassador Hardinge
that It cannot admit the contention
that the steamer was rightfully sunk
and will Insist that there was no JUS
