Mining Industry Prosperous.

DIR. David T. Day of the United
States Geological Survey, who brings
out each year volume entitled Min
eral Resources of the United States"
is authority for the statement that the
general prosperity of the year 1905,
due to good crops, excellent foreign
trade and business confidence, was en-
phatically expressed in the greatest
production of minerals ever known in
the history of our country. Good crops
stimulated the railroads to increase
their rolling stock. The direct conse-
quence of that increase was heavy
demand on the iron and steel trades.
which in turn extended the expansion
movement to coal and coke.
The preliminary estimate made by
the director of the mint of the produc-
tion of gold and silver in the United
States during the calendar year 1905
shows a gain of approximately s6,00O.-
600 in gold and 100000 ounces of sill
yer over the output of 1904. The gain
in gold is represented almost entirely
| by the increased output of Alaska.
which Is placed at $14,650, 100. as
against S9.lGO,500 in 1904. The Alas.
kan gam is nearly all in the Tanana.

ations TO a standstill, but interfered.
to some extent, with quartz mills. Ne
vada shows a gain of about 100000.
and Utah an equal increase. Colo
radios gains amounted to about 81 .000.-

The Ill wind of war and revolution
which brought disaster to the Russian
petroleum industry carried prosperity
to the productive oil areas of the
United States. To supply the in
creased demand from abroad. which
resulted from Russia's deficit. strained
the petroleum resources of this coun-
try to their utmost.
The demand for copper during 1905
was intense and prices were high.
This demand for copper affected other
metals sympathetically especially
aluminium, which floats on the copper
market as substitute for copper con-
ductors and Is more or less sought, ac-
cording to the price of copper.
General prosperity was sufficiently
pronounced to make itself felt In the
building trades. as Is shown by the
increased production of structural
steel. brick. terra Gotta. and stone.
or all the structural materials. cement
profited most by the forward move
ment, which came. fortunately, Mt a
time when favorable market was
necessary to take care of existing
stocks.

The Deadly Workshop.

More men are killed and MANNED in
Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, in
peaceful pursuits in one year than
were killed and wounded in many of
the great battles of history. Statistics
for the last year show that there were
killed and injured in the iron and steel
mills and blast furnaces 5000 men.
In other mills, shops and factories
400 were sacrificed and each died or
were hurt, while the coal mines swell
this figure 400 more, and the railroad
victims include an additional 400, max
ing up a grand total of 1900 who
were killed or injured in one year.

TOWN THAT REALLY IS TOUGH.
It's In Wyoming and Whiskey is $40
Drink

Persons arriving from Torrington,
settlement on the North Platte river
near the Wyoming Nebraska line, re-
port that it has become the toughest
place in Wyoming, says the Pittsburg
Chronicle.
A large number of graders is en-
ployed in the vicinity of Torrington
in the construction of a fifty-mile sec
ton of the Pathfinder irrigation pro-
ject and they make the settlement
their headquarters.
"Tinhorn" gamblers, sharpers and
thugs have fiocked to the town and
are reaping harvest from the labor
ers. Two saloons are doing rela-
lively enormous business, one having
returned it's proprietor $1,000 clear
profit within three months.
In this place, it is said, laborers
are drugged. slugged and robbed with
little effort at concealment.
I.aborers will be made stupid with
drink, and then will be charged $40
for single drink.
One man secured three drinks for
$50, and then was kicked out of the
place because he had no more mon
ey.
Later, in an outburst of philan-
thropy. the proprietor gave him 80
cents with which to secure a meal.
Some of the ditch constructors are
understood to stand in with the sa-
loonkeepers and thugs, and to encour-
age them in robbing the laborers, be-
cause the sooner the men 70 broke
the sooner they will return to work.

NEWS FROM THE MINES and MILLS

A warranty deed has been recorded
conveying from Senator Henry M. Tel
Ter and others to the Prompt Pay Gold
Mining and Milling Company a fraction
of the Jefferson lode, in Russell dis
trict, for $4,000. 1t is understood that
the purchasers, Denver and eastern
people will soon resume heavy opera
tions.
A dispatch from Vershire, Vermont
says that after expending more than
81, 100000 during the past six years in
purchasing and working the Copper
Fields mines, for many years the third
largest in the United States, George
Westinghouse Of Pittsburg has aban-
doned his search for copper in the
Vershire mountains.
In 1904, for the fifth time, the total
value of the mineral products Of the
United States exceeded the enormous
sum of 81 900 900, 900, according to the
summary contained in the volume,
Mineral Resources of the United
States in 1904" which the United
States Geological Survey has recently
published in bound form.
One of the biggest strikes of the
year comes from the Matte mine, on
Chicago creek, says the Georgetown
correspondent of the Denver Republi-
can. Moonan & Co., who are leasing
on level No. 5, have opened into an
eighteen-inch streak of high-grade ore,
and test run of 100 pounds gave re-
turns of 247 ounces gold, thirty-six
ounces silver and twenty per cent.
copper. or average returns of better
than 500 to the ton. These lessees
have been at work since last May, and
the streak has increased from a
feather edge to eighteen inches by
driving twenty feet. Everything indi-
Gates the uncovering of one of the big
bonanza pockets, for which the Matte
is famous, as high as s650,000 hav-
ing been extracted in single in
stance or level No. 5.
In accordance with a provision in the
appropriation for mineral resources of
the United States for the fiscal year
1905-1906 a comprehensive investiga-
tion is in progress (November, 1905)
to determine what minerals of eco
nomic value are contained in the
black sands found in the placer mines
of the United States. An invitation has
been extended through the mails to all
the placer miners in the United States
to send samples of their heavy con-
centrates for examination. These have
been tested as to their contents of pre-
cious metals and their mineralogy has
been exhaustively studied. Where it
became evident that these sands con-
tanned useful minerals that are not
already utilized a competent gealogist
was sent to the deposit. and samples
varying in size from 100 pounds to a
carload were obtained and examined
with concentrating machinery at Port
land, Oregon. The results of this in
vestigation will be published in the
forthcoming volume of Mineral Re
sources of the United States for the
calendar year 1905.

Husband the Master.

Most married women imagine hat
they are mistresses in their own
houses, but that, it appears, unless
they actually hold the deed to the
property, is a delusion. 1T should be
distinctly understood, said Judge
Swartz of Norristown, Pa, in a recent
case. that the husband is master of
his own house. The wife has no righ>
to invite or admit her mother or any
one else to the house against her hus-
bands will" The judge was good
enough to add that the wife might go
to see her mother whenever she wish
ed; provided she did not go so often
as to neglect her duty to her husband
and her horne, but he did not say that
a man must see that the kindling
wood was chopped and, the water pii.s

PAIN IN THE JOINTS
Rheumatic Tortures Cease When Dr.
Williams Pink Pills Mako
New Blood.

The first sign of rheumatism is fre.
quently pain and swelling in one of
the joints. If not combated in the
blood, which is the seat Of the disease,
the poison spreads, affecting other joints
and tissues. Sometimes rheumatism at
tacks the heart and is quickly fatal.
The one remedy that has cured
rheumatism SO that it stays cured is DR..
Williams Pink Pills. These pills expel
the poison from the blood and restore
the system, so that the poisonous matter
is passed off as nature intended.
Mrs. J. T. Pitcher, of No. 1870 Mon
mouth street, Newark. N. j., suffered
for about three years from rheumatism
before she found this cure. She says:
cit began with queer feeling i'll my
fingers. In little time it seemed as

Lobster's Bad Character.

The Scotch fisher" board in its
twenty-third annual report gives the
following as the characteristics of the
lobster. 1t is an essentially surly,
suspicious and Gnsociable fish, and re-
CARDS anything that comes near it as
its foe. The main motive of its ac-
tivity is defense, and in defending
itself it manifests a blind and unre-
lenting vengeance. 1t procures hole
in which to wait for its prey, and
to which to retire after a fight. and it
is then unsafe for any animal to ap-
prosch it.
Is keenness of attack and relent-
less hold when once it has gripped
its antagonist are due to its want ot
sight The eye of the lobster is so
sensitive that strong light blinds it..
Although it possesses keen sight
when first Matched, the lobster is
practically blind later in life. 1t sees
nothing properly. but simply has the
sensation of light and shadow. II
tests a shadow with its antennae. and
sometimes when strong shadow is
cast on it. the lobster will leap az it
on the off-chance that it is foe.
The fighting tendency makes it diff
ficult to keep lobseters in confine-
ment. When once they have settled
down, however, they will live at
peace with one another, but it is
only an armed neutrality. and If one
of the fish ever loses its fighting pow
er it is at once attacked by the
others.-American Shipping.
