THE TOBACCO MARKETS
Heavy Falling or in Last Weeks Re.
ceiptS.

Owing to unpropitious weather for setting
tobacco In order to be marketed, the last
weeks sales at Petersburg, Va. were small,
but prices kept up remarkably well. rang
ing from 81 to S27 per hundred pounds.
The highest price was obtained for dark
wrappers. Comparatively little OF the new
crop of tobacco has been brought In to be
sold.
At Danville the sales of loose leaf to-
bacco were not so heavy last week as they
were some days ago. Each days offerings
were disposed of by noon, due largely to the
fact that the weather has been ht'Ie un-
favorable for handling tobacco. the offer
fngs have been largely from the contiguous
country The quality shows some improve
ment over former receipts. Good wrap
pers are scarce and are commanding higher
prices. Some trading In package lots has
been reported, but It has been on limited
scale. No large deals are known to have
been made Stocks of old tobacco In the
hands of dealers are growing very small.
At Lynchburg receipts of loose tobacco
were only 100000 pounds last week. show
ing decrease of 2l8000 pounds from those
ST the previous week. caused by the drying
weather of the past few weeks. The offerings
consisted principally Of medium and good
offered. Prices on all grades are generally
satisfactory to the planters, and as the buy
ers are active In looking after their several
lines OF tobacco the trade continues quite
lively.
At South Boston harsh weather has de-
TERED marketing. but enough is still COM
ing In daily to keep the dealers and ware
housemen busy, and with more favorable
weather the volume Of business will. In
crease. as prices are firm and the planters
are better satisfied with the outlook than
they have been for several years past.
Farmers are holding meetings In many
counties In that section. hoping 20 control
prices Just as the cotton farmers are try
ing to do; but the talk OF Independent
manufacturing concerns has about snbsfd-
ed, although the outlook for this project
was apparently bright some months ago.
At Durham N. c., breaks Of leaf tobacco
continue heavy with prices f1rm and plant
ers are 30 well pleased fhey are already
discussir1o increase in acreage for next
wear. The quality or the crop is proving 20
s. much better than was expected, great
many wrappers selling recently az so to
$50 per hundredwetght.

YEARS OUTPUT OF GOLD.
California's Production Showed tn
Greatest Increase.

GreaIeSC 4uc1SaSS
A report issued by the geological survey
saysi
The production OF gold in the United
States in 1904 amounted to 3,91O.729 hne
ounces, valued at $50. s35,64S. This repre-
SCENTS an increase of $7.243.e48 over the
production of 1903. The largest previous
output. in 1902, amounted to $s0,0OO.0O0.
The production Of silver In 1904 amounted
to sc, 900, 1874 fine ounces. valued at $3z' 0So.-
ara This represents an increase OF 1.699.-
se4 ounces over the production OF 1913, ana
an increase in value OF $2.713,87S. Tho
record output Of silver. In 1892. amounting
to 63. 500, coo fine ounces. the report says,
has not been reached In late years. nor has
the commercial value attained the hgureH
of that year. which amounted to $S1.l0l,OO0
The principal sources Of the increase IN
the gold production compared with that OF
1903, the report says, are easily traceable
Colorado added nearly $2.000. 600 to her pro-
duction of 1908 most of this amount COM
ing from the mines Of Cripple Creek Ne
vada's output Increased about tho same
amount, chiefly by reason Of the phenome-
nal yields of the Goldheid mines: ine
whose production exceeds that OF 1908 Dy
So 800, 600 the increase being caused parity
by a strong development of the quarts min
ing industry and to q less degree BY the
activity of the dredgers Alaska. and Ari-
coma show increased yields amounting re-
spectiveiy. to s478.Se3 and $746. T08. num-
Der OF states show smaller increase, while
Utah, Montana and Washington have less
gold TO their credit In 1904 than in 1908.
The increase OF value In the production OF
silver of 50, III, 87S IL somewhat evenly dis
tributed among the various states and ter
ritories, but Is to some extent due to the
better price OF silver obtained Colorado
MIA, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Utah also
added considerable value to their silver pro-
duction.

FROM WILDERNESS TO WEALTH IN
SIN YEARS.

Six years ago at Cananca. Mexico, ono
would have seen an irregular range of
low mountains, Eighteen miles long-'lost
mountains" the biologists call them. be-
cause they are connected with no other
range. says Henry Shedd Beardsley in
the Mexican correspondence in Leslie's
Weekly. They were mere STUBS" the
tops worn down by the powerful action
of the elements, and tho valleys filled
by erosion. These ''lost" hills were bar
rem and bleak. Sometimes a bunch OF
stray. cattle would range among the
mountains. but no white man made his
abode there. Even the beasts of prey
avoided this solitary range. There was
no wilder. ~lonelier spot in the whole
world than the lost mountains'' of Cam
anea.
That was six years ago. Now they are
the seat of the third largest copper mine
in the world, the site of a city of 2V,0ol
inhabitants. In this mine there are 80
miles of underground workings: 800
men are taking out of the earth and run
ming through reductions plants and
shelters $500 tons of rock daily, produce
ing in copper. gold. and silver more than
$50 0NO every We r.. Already the mines
have yielded $500 eco. The lest noun

an hour before the game began, and it
started in a drizzle, making a heavy
field and handicapping Knox, whose
only hope against Nebraska g heavy
line was end runs and kicking.
The first half was played in a driz-
Zle, with the field not much better than
a quagmire. The crowd, however, was
large. Knox was unable to hold, and
tho the gains were slow, they were
was too light, and in six minutes of
straight footbal II, mainly on center
rushes and short end runs, Wilson car,

Knox was handicapped by the heavy
field and the inability Of its star puntel
to do anything. A quarterback play
gave Morse his opportunity. On quick
pass. he got the ball and skirted the
line for 50-yard run and a touchdown
Morse kicked goal. The first half ended
with the ball in Knox territory, and
