WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Oratory on

Zinc Production Doubled.

The production of zinc in the year
1905 amounted to 203,S49 short tons,
according to report prepared by Mr..
Charles Kirchhoff and published by
the United States Geological Survey.
This is an increase of Il, ,147 short tons
over the production of 1904. The pro-
duction of zinc has more than doubled
since 1897, when it amounted to 80. $50
tons.
The principal increase in production
has taken place in the eastern and
southern states. In 1904 the Graselli
Chemical Company in West Virginia
built a new plant, which had its first
full year of operation in 1905.
In Kansas no new plants were start
ed in 1905, but those which opened in
1904 had a full years production.
These included the Caney Zinc Com
pany at Caney, which enlarged furth-
er to ten blocks in 1905, the Chanute
Zinc Company at Chanute, and the
Cockerill Zinc Company at Altoona.
The CRANKY Company made a larger
product, having added a fifth block.
Two Zellwegger mechanical roasting
furnaces are building. The Prime
Western and the Lanyon Zinc Com
pany each added one block, and the
United Zinc and Chemical Company is
building two blocks and will soon add
two more. Construction was started
during 1905 on the works of Hegeler
Brothers, at Danville, H., and by the
Mineral Point Zinc Company, at De-
pue, Ill. The New Jersey Zinc Com
pany which has four furnaces at Pal
merton, Pa, is enlarging its plant
with the ultimate object of having ten
furnaces of the Convers-De Saulles
type and two furnaces of the Sieme.

spodumene. Amblygonite has been
found in appreciable quantities only
near Pala, San Diego county Cal.
This is the only section in the county

Do 1t To-day.

The time-worn injunction, ''Never
put off till tomorrow what you can do
today" is now generally presented in
this form: do it tOday!r That is the
terse advice we want to give you about
that hacking cough or demoralizing
cold with which you have been strug-
CLING for several days, perhaps weeks.
Take some reliable remedy for it today
and let that remedy be DR.. Boschee's
German Syrup, which has been in use
for over thirty-fve years. A few doses
of it will undoubtedly relieve your
cough or cold, and its continued use
for few days will cure you complete
ly. No matter how deep seated your
cough. even if dread consumption has
attacked your lungs, German Syrup
will surely effect cure-as it has
done before in thousands of apparently
hopeless cases of lung trouble. New

The production of the Old Dominion
mine for July was slightly in excess OF
100000 pounds of blister copper,
which while not as large as in some
previous months, represents a larger
percentage produced from the COM
pany's own mines. Only three furn-
aces were in blast during 4 large part
of the month. Four furnaces are now
running. Progress of shaft sinking
and development work has been very
satisfactory, and the production of ore
has materially increased. An impol =
tant work has been restoring the l4th
level and the development of the sui
phide vein on that level has been re-
sumed. The improved condition of
the mine is reflected in the price of
Old Dominion stock on the Boston ex-
change, which has advanced to IL

Chalchihuitl, name celebrated in
Mexican archaeology, was applied to
certain green stones capable of high
polish, which were carved into various
ornamental forms, and very highly
valued. There has been much mys-
terry and much discussion as to what
this precious material really was, and
whence it was obtained. 1t seems evil
dent that several mines were included
under this nalne-among them a green
quartz or prase, some of the deeper
green varieties of tecalo or Mexican
onyx $50 called, and probably tur-
quoise: but the precious chalchihuitl
has now been proved to be iadite, a
stone which has possessed a singular
charm for many aboriginal peoples in
widely separated parts of the globe,
but which, for some reason, has not so
much attracted the notice or the taste
of the historic races-M Mining & Scien-
tific Press.

The Power of the Traffic Manager.

Somebody J aS said that the men
who make railroad rates hold the
well-being of the United States in the
hollow of their hands. That they can
build up and tear down industries.
populate and devastate communities,
make business enterprise flourish or
reduce it to ignominious failure as
best suits their purposes-these are
the powers that have been attributed
to them in the discussion which dur
ing the past few months has under
taken to set before the country the in
tricate relations between our people
and the agencies that furnish them
transportation. But what manner of
men these are, and how they really
apply their power day by day, no one
has told.
The railroad traffic manager must
be to the manner born in his profess
sion; but all the natural equ Dent in
the world is of no use to him without
the schooling of hard experience, the
higher training of well-sustained re-
sponsibility. The skill his task re-
quires might be compared with that
of the great physician, whose diagno-
sis is the result of so many subtle, in
stinctive TURNS of judgement that he
could not explain its process. The
two men select their method of treat
ment and apply their remedies with
the same sureness and precision

The several levels of the Copper Hill
are looking exceedingly well, and
especially the east drift on the Sd
level, which is in a fine body of carbc-
nate ore. The work of opening the
seventh and eighth levels has begun.
The development of the east drift on
the 500 foot level of the Black Hawk
mine for the past two weeks has been
very interesting and the improvement
steady, and Pat Rose, mine superin-
tendent, informs US that today this
drift looks better than at any time
since it was started, showing a seam
of high grade carbonate and glance
ore foot wide and with other ore of a
fair grade in the face. Samples of
carbonate and glance ore brought TO
this office during the past week will
assay % to 80 per cent copper. 1t is
the intention Of the management to
start a crosscut from the end of this
drift within few days, which is ex-
pected TO show the ore body up much
larger. Grading for the Arizona Com
mercial railroad is progressing, and
about two miles of grade has been
completed. The heavy rain storms of
the past week have damaged the
grade slightly and washed out the
wagon road in Copper gulch.- Silver

In the Colorado desert of California
and Arizona, travellers notice large
areas covered with a mosaic-like pave
ment of rounded, polished pebbles,
there being few large stones and scar
cely any sand among them. These
areas glisten in the sunlight and at a
little distance may be mistaken for
water. W. p. Blake offers the follow
ing solution TO account for the occur
ance of these mosaic mesas: 1T ap-
pears certain that the surface-sheet
of pebbles, and in many localities of
small fragment of rock and bit of fos-
sill silicified wood, is the result of an
accumulation by the gradual removal,
by the wind, of sand, silt or finer ma
terials from around and below the
pebbles, undermining them, removing
their support, and permitting them TO
fall to n lower level, where they ac-
cumulate by concentration until the
whole surface is closely covered by
fragments too large and heavy TO be
moved away by the wind. Such a de-
posit of pebbles or fragments may thus
Iepresent all that were originally dis
tributed through several feet of thick
ness of sand and lighter alluvions. In
this way there may be a removal of a
large amount of fine materials from
the general surface of a region, lower
ing its level, until, by the complete
covering and protection of the surface
by the concentration of the heavier
fragments, eolian denudation is arrest
ed, and the further lowering of the
surface is stopped"

Copper production at the two Doug
las smelters for the month of July will
aggregate about the same as during
the month of June. At the Calumet
& Arizona the production is estimated
at about 1000, 900 pounds, an increase
of about 100000 pounds over June,
while at the Copper Queen the output
is not so large as it was in June, being
estimated at about 100000 pounds.
The outlook for August for both
smelters is that they will exceed their
output for this month on account of
the added improvements which have
been completed at both.-Tombstone

LEADERS ARE NEEDED

Colored people do not want social
equality. They only want a chance to
work out their own salvation, and the
only help that can be given them is to
educate leaders and thinkers among
them who can lead them up, according
to Miss Frances Yoemans, who has been
teacher at Fisk university, Nashville,
Tenn, for twenty -six years. Miss Voc
mans spoke Of the outlook as being
bright, altho the people from the north
are more Preludiced against the negro
than ever before.
The Jubilee singers, who cleared
$3.50, 900 in seven years for the school
Europe, could not repeat their success
now. because public sentiment in the
north is SO changed that the singers
cannot secure entertainment, and when
they tried it a few years ago they had
to spend many nights in stations be-
cause they were refused lodging. The
social line in the south is not to be
crossed, and IN the twent y-sixs years
Miss Yoemans has lived in Nashville
