1895 imports from Italy exceeded by sixty-four millions the value of ex- ports to that country, the former being two hundred and two millions and the latter 137 2-3 millions; while in the de- cade just ended exports to Italy ex- ceeded by over twenty million dollars the value of our imports from that country, the aggregate value of the eX- ports being for the ten years ending with June. 1905 29715 million dollars and that of imports 2771a millions. Thus in thirty years our trade with Italy has aggregated considerably more than a billion dollars, of which 5S6 millions represented imports and 5S0 millions eX~orts.
 Raw silk supplies practically half the value of our entire importations from Italy, the remainder of the thirty eight and two-third million dollars value being supplied by fruits and nuts, olive oil, maccarOni, cheese, wines, sulphur or crude birthstone, argols or, wine lees, hats, marble and stone manufactures. silk manufactures. art works, flax and hemp, wood and manufa ctures thereof, and hair and manufactures of hair. Of raw silk the value of imports from Italy was 16 2-3 million dollars. compared
 
 lions from China, and about millions from all other countries. Comparing conditions in 1905 with those of 1895, imports as a whole from Italy have nearly doubled. though the growth has not been uniformly distributed among all articles. Raw six, for example, has almost quadrupled since 1885,. having been in that year $4,S99,33O and in 1905 663O. .O16. Lemons decreased from $3,- 774.237 in 1895 to $2,S91,1S0 in 1905: or anges, from $1,45S, ,229 in 1895 to S47 467 in 1905. the decrease in each case being due to a general decline in our impOr- tations of fruits as result of enlarged production in the United States and the island territories now under the American flag. Imports of macaroni in creased from less than S350,0O0 in 1895 to S1,91O,415 in 1905; cheese, from $387.- S51 in 1895 to $1,36T. .O13 in 1905: olive oil, from $44S,567 in 1895 to S1 ,23S, ,464 in 1905; still wines from S266,541 in 1895 to S796.- SIG in 1905; and vegetables, from S147,- IA in 1895 to s5O3,11S in 1905.

THE COULD MINES.
An Important Strike in Property
 Near Tucson.

The striking of the main ore body at the Gould mines in the Tucson mountains at the 30O-foot level created a sensation in Tucson. News of the strike caused general rejoicing as all the stock of the company is owned by local people, says the Citizen.
 1t has long been quietly predicted that the Gould mine would develop into one of the largest in the territory and it was stated on a recent visit of Colonel w. c. Greene to this city that the copper magnate was endeavoring to secure the mine. Ie developed however, that this rumor was unfound- ed, but it served to show the impor- tance attached to the property.
 The striking of ore at the 30O-foot level gives practically every assurance that big ore body has been uncov- cred. The first ore strike was made at the forty-foot level. The vein dipped considerably and a shaft was sunk to a depth of soc feet and cross cutting was then begun to determine if the vein extended to that level. That it does has now been confirmed. This strike, together with the strike at the old Pueblo mine will stir mining op- erations in the Tucson mountains to greater activity than ever before.

THE PHELPS DODGE co.

Tn an interview with a reporter Of the Silver Belt Professor Douglas ex- pressed satisfaction with the opera tions of the Globe properties under Phelps-Dodge management last year, and notwithstanding the fine record Of production made by the old Dominion and the large ore shipments by the United Globe. they should do better next year.
 Installation of a fourth furnace and addition to the concentration. doubling its capacity, both of which will be com pleted within three or four months, will materially increase the capacity of the works and insure a monthly pro- duction of 3,5OO,OOO pounds, or more, of copper Development on the four teenth level will be pushed as rapidly as possible with the expectation of opening sulphide ore bodies of impor- tance and effect a corresponding de- crease in the shipments of sulphides from the. Copper Queen and concen- trates from Nacozari. Professor Doug las said that he felt reasonably as sured that the sulphide ores so greatly needed here would be found on the fourteenth level of the old Dominion.
 Professor Douglas had visited Doug las, Bisbee, Cananea and Morenci be- fore coming to Globe and at all of those places he found conditions satisfac- tory. The extensive additions to the Douglas shelter are nearing comple- tiOn and the effect is already appar- ent in an increasing output of copper. The production of copper last year was in excess of 6.OOO.OOO pounds and will be larger for 1906, probably reach ing 100000,000 pounds. The ores smeIt- +E.

Concentrates from the Phelps Dodge mine at Nacozari and the ore product of the Imperial Copper com pany, Pinal county are also smelted at Douglas. The United Globe mines also supply a large tonnage of silicious ores.

OUR TRADE
 WITH ITALY
Exports and Imports Equal
 y Divided
The Balance Though is Slowly Att taching Itself to the Side of This Country.

Washington. Feb. 5.-Trade between the United States and Italy is of un- usual interest in view of the fact that Italy has contributed more than a mil lion and a half of citizens to our pop ulation since 1890. A statement just pre- pared by the department of commerce and labor through it's bureau of sta- tistics, shows that the commerce be- tween Italy and the United States in the fiscal year 1905 aggregated 77 1-2 million dollars, almost equally divided between imports and eXpVrtC.
 As a market for American products Italy outranks Belgium, Cuba, Aus tralia, or Argentina, and exceeds by e.yer 100 per cent the market offered by the entire continent of Africa. In the matter of imports Italy ranks ahead of Belgium, Netherlands, or Swltzer- land, in Europe; China or India, in Asia, the combined imports from Aus tralasia and the Philippine Islands, and supplies over three times as much as the entire continent of Africa. E,X ports from the United States to Italy in the last fiscal year were valued at S3S. 40, O67 compared with $SS,4IS,741 to Belguim. $3S, 3SO. .6O1 to Cuba, $26,253,S11 to Australasia, and SIS, ,5zO eos to Africa. Our imports from Italy in the same year were valued at $3S,62S,579, against S34, ,296. 146 from India, 2T,SS4,5 from China, S25, ,SS2, ,455 from Belgium, $21,- 71S,74S from Netherlands, and $11,343,- 622 from Africa
 In our trade with Italy exports ex- ceeded imports during the year by about one hundred thousand dollars, our total exportation to that country being $3S, ,74O,O67 and our inn 0Its there from S3S,62S,5 ,5T9. It is only within the last decade that our exports to Italy have averaged more than our imports therefrom. In the decade ending with 1875 imports from Italy aggregated 6T12 million dollars in value, while exports thereto were but siXty-twO millions; in the next decade, ending with 1So5, inn ports from Italy were valued at one hundred and a half millions ana eX- ports thereto ninety-four and a half millions: in the decade ending with

RIGHTS OF CHILDREN.

An admirable address was delivered Tuesday by Dr. Tomkins to the mem bers of the Mothers club. It contained much of solid wisdom, stated in a con 'vincing way. Without protesting to do so, it defined with nicety the rights of children, these including the privilege of being treated as human beings without dispelliqg the innocent illu- sions of infancy. He would not have children banished from the table, or from the presence of company, nor turned over to the exclusive care of the nurse. Neither does he believe in fads in their training.

OTTER GLOBE NOTES.

The Old Dominion smelter made a record run on Monday. turning out 53S bars of copper of an average weight of about 300 pounds.
 Work on the new shaft is progress- ing rapidly and new depths will be explored within sixty days It is ex- pected that large bodies of sulphide ore will be uncovered by the new de- velopment work within 200 to 300 feet below present workings.
 . Shelter returns from shipments of ore by the leasers on the Live Oak property show that during three months previous to January l the pro- duction amounted to 5S7 961 pounds of blister copper. Since January 1 the shipments to the El Paso smelter total thirty-six cars of an average capacity of thirtysiX tons each. or 1.296 tons of ore, valued at approximately S4O,0O0
 This showing is remarkable. consid- ering the number of days that hauling was impossible owing to the bad con dition of the roads and inability to secure teams to keep up maximum shipments. More men and teams will be put at work in the near future and shipments will be increased. It is ex- pected that returns of S75.OO0 per month will be averaged after Febru- ary l.
