The American mineral production
nears the two billion mark. The
United States leads In the production
of silver and copper, and take second
place in the production of gold. The
Transvaal produced $101,200, 900 in
gold during 1906, while the United
States produced $97,100,000 Austral-
ia takes third place in the gold pro-
duction AMI Russia fourth. The United
States produced over 57,000,000 ounces
of silver in 1906. and Mexico takes
second place. There is no other coun-
try that compares with the United

Last year we produced 917,000,OOO

POWERFUL ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Montrose Enterprise.

|
Manager Miles of the Electric Light
company showed an Enterprise re-
porter a new electric light globe 22
candle power light, which is said to
use less electricity while giving out
22 candle power light than the ordi-
nary 16 candle power uses. In other
words this is a saving of nearly so
per cent in the amount Of electricity
used by the new lamp in producing
given amount of light. The globe
is shaped somewhat like the ordinary
globe, but the fine wires on the inside
are woven back and forth between
two circles of arms, so as to form a
sort of basket of wire which is lighted
when the current is turned on. 1t is
probably the long amount OF wire
through which the current passes
which causes more light for the same
current But Manager Miles says that
even before the new globe Is made In
commercial quantities new discov-
cry is on which will put the new
"tantalus' light as 1t is called, In the
shade, and that probably this will pre-
vent the commercial manufacture of
the new globe. and efforts will be d.
rected toward perfectiDg the new
light, which will give rs per cent
more light than the old globes, for
the same amount Of current used.

1t is noted last year that the potato
bug was luxury that cost $4,000. 900,
while the army worm cost $15,000,-
900 without worrying the crop report
ers particularly. The boil weevil is a

sian fly averages twice that amount,
San Jose scale comes at $10,000,000
year when not marked down by good
luck, the codling moth at $20,000,000
and the despised grasshopper accounts
for an agricultural loss of s50,000, 900.
The farmers lost a total average of
s300000,000 a year through insectivor-
Gus pests. which is three times the
annual cost of the navy and enough

weight to such opinions without con
sidering the individual who expressed
them. However, I am not In favor
OF making any amendments to this
provision of the law. The news

rightly so, not forseeing the pit which
