A Department Of Hines ?


 The great and growing. importance
 of the mineral products of this country
 keeps alive and of increasing popular
 interest the question of creating a reg
 ular government department of mining
 and minerals. The mining interests of the United States are of tremendous volume, and their extensive ramifica- tions, along with the coinage and other monetary considerations involved, have already impressed not few far sight
 ed Americans with the necessity of ul-
 timately safeguarding the industry in
 department now looks after the coun-
 try's agricultural interests.
 Our gold output in 1904 was valued. for instance, at $S4,551, ,3O0-a new high record by about $5OOO 900 and an in crease of more than S1O,OOO,OOO from the value of the 1908 yield. The value of the silver mines yield was $53.6O3,~ O0O-a slight falling off from that of 1903. The twentieth annual report of the United States geological survey, just made public, discloses that the total value of our mineral production in 1903 was $1,419, ,721, ,569-an increase of. $159,211,SS1 from 1902 Iron and coal lead in value, as usual, the value of the latter being $5O3, 100000 and of the former $344,OOO.OOO. This gain of about S159 ,OOO in the value of the entire mineral yield of 1903 is due to the large increase in non-metaIIic products, the metallic products show ing a decrease from S642.25S,5S4 to 1902 to $624.31S,0Os in 1903, and the non metallic products an increase from s617,251,154 in 1902 to $794, 4O3, ,561 in 1903-a gain of s177,152, ,4O7.
 These figures strain the ordinary mans powers of comprehension not little. They are instructive, however. as disclosing somewhat the basis for a belief in the need of a department of minerals. Congress has been very con- servative in this matter of establish ing new government departments For a long period there was no innovation of this character, and it required years of agitation and argument, sometimes in the face of the hercest opposition. to finally induce the law makers to ere ate the department. of agriculture. For nearly two decades the establishment of a department of commerce was an issue, and when the congress finally yielded to popular pressure the new es- tablishment was made largely a sort of house to handle the surplus business of some of the older depart ments-and even now there are many good citizens who profess not to rec ognize the necessity of the proposed department. Some special considera- l tons, however, appear to favor this | sort of the Legislation for the mineral | industry, and there are indications that | it may become a live issue in the near

Lease of the School Lands.

The school lands thst were leased
by the parish treasurer on the 1lth
instant, brought very fair rental
values, but not all the Hands were bid
in. -Four tracts were Qeased in the
first ward at $3.50 an acre, and the
lower laEds in that sec6i on rented at
from Sl.eO to 800 an acre, according
to location. In the second ward ii
tracts were rented at figures ranging
from S1.O to $3.50 an acre. There
were no bidders for the land in the
-ath ward, but just as in previous
years, applications are being made
for it privately since the day of auc-
tion, and these will be submitted for
the consideration of the School
Board. There still remains to be
rented also, four tracts of 10 acres in
the first wacd and limited number
sof forty acre tracts in tine second
Sard. Private applications for some
ef these havo been filed also. for the
consideration of the School Board.
Four years ago the total rentals of
the school lands in the parish
amounted to e, 100 q year, aod the
amount of yearly rental realized thus
far from the last offer of lands is
something's over u. 700, and leaves on
hand yet to be rented q whole section
in the 4th ward and the several 40
acre tracts already referred to above
in the first and second wards. This
shows material Improvement in the
revenues from the school lands in
recent years, which Improvement is
due very largely to the firm stand
taken by the School Board four years
ago on this question involving the
interests of the school children OF the
parish.

On discussion it was developed

details. Mr.. Grow Girard dur
ing the discussion asked and
received permission to give his
views, and urged that it would
be a mistake to depend upon

retire the bonds. He submitted
also details as to tax and amount
necessary to raise. It was final
ly decided that it would be best
to have a committee outline plan

that the Council appropriate
