APeculiar Decision.

Georgia took fall out of Tennessee
this week when it secured an injunc-
ton from the United States Supreme
Court against the Tennessee Copper
Company and the Ducktown Sulphur
an Copper Company, restricting
those companies from the operation of
their smeiters at Ducktown, Tenn.
The smelters are close to the Georgia
line and that State declared that the
fumes squirting from their stacks prov
ed menance to the health of it's citi-
ZenS and worked great damage to vege-
taJlon for radious of fifty miles. The
decision was peculiar one, the bench
holding that the case was not on the
same footing as though it were be-
tween private parties. The ruling was
that in its sovereign capacity the
State has an interest independent of
and behind the title of the citizens in
all the earth and air within it's domin-
ion." For that reason the court held
that Georgia had a perfect right to re-
cieve an injunction to prevent the loss
to its physical well being and for the
protection of the health Of its citizens.

pIoCHE STAGE HELD UP
By BUSH-HIDDEN MEN

CARSON CITY, Dec. 6.-The stage
between Hamilton and Phoebe was
held up by a gang of hi~ghwaymen,
and so far the officers have been un-
able to apprehend the guilty parties.
The holdup men were hidden in the
brush by the side of the road as the
stage came along, and at the command
of halt the driver faced a number of
guns protruding from the bushes along
the right of way. He brought the
team to a standstill, delivered over
the Wells Fargo treasure box, and
was told to drive on, which he did.
He arrived at Phoebe as soon as the
team could get there, and a posse was
soon after the men. A reward of 81 600
has beer offered for their apprehen-
sion. This is the first stage holdup in
this state for a number of years, and
bespeaks prosperity for the robbers,
at least.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY REPORT
ON MINERAL PRODUCTION

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The U. S.
geological survey has just completed
and sent out a table of the mineral
production of the United States for
the calendar years 1897 to 1906, cover
ing a decade of wonderful advancement
in output. The products included are
of the mtallic and non-metallic classes.
Some Of the interesting facts cleaned
from this comparative presentation of
the volume and values of products In
all the years of the decade are: First,
that the total values of metallic sub
stances extracted from the earth in
the United States in 1897 was $685.
209, 975, while in 1906 it reached the
enormous sun of $SS6,110,S56.
The total value Of non-metallic min
eral products in 1897 was $780, S2 ,607
in 1906, 81, O16 2O6, 700.
Estimated value of mineral products
unspecifed in 1897, 81, ZOO, 900; in 1906,
5000, 900. The grand total of all min
eral products was $646. 992, $50 in 1897,
and 81 .9O2. ST., 565 in 1906.
The metallic minerals are pig iron.
silver. gold, copper, lead, zine, quick
silver, aluminium, anthony, nickel, tin.
platinum. Non-metallic minerals in
clude such products as coal. natural
gas. petroleum. clay, cement, lime
sand-lime brick. emery, crystalline
quartz, gfrindstones. infusorial earth
and tripoli, millstones, oilstones. arsen
ious oxides, borax, flourspar, bromine

magnesite, manganese ores, %magnifer
Gus iron ores, mica, mineral waters
monarzite and %zircon, precious stones
pumice stone, quartz flint, %rutile, sand

OF the metallic minerals pig iror
appears as the most valuable. In 1S9,
it was produced to the value of $95.

TO REDUCE OWN ORES.
Goldfeld Operators State They Will
Do This and Cut Out Shelters.

GOLDFIELD, Dec. 5.-Goldfeld mine
owners have made up their minds to
get away from the high charges of the
Smelter Trust, as well as the exorbi-
tant charges made by the transporta
ton companies, and the way out of it
is the construction of reduction plants
right at the mines. The experiment
has been carried far enough to know
that no mistake will be made. The
success Of the Combination, the Ne
vada-G oldfeld and the Kinkead plants
shows that the extraction of the values
can be made from ores that can not
possibly be shipped to the shelters.
The Florence company has all the sur
face work on its plant completed, and
all that is necessary is the machinery,
which has been on the road for months
from different points throughout. the
country. The Consolidated company
will have a 50e-ton mill in operation
| just as soon as it can be constructed.
Other corporations will follow suit.
The ores Oh this district are peculiar
ly fitted for the extraction of the values
of amalgamation, cyaniding and con
centrating. 1t will be necessary to use
a little fuel to roast the concentrates
before the gold is extracted from them.
This, however, is only a small matter,
as only about 6 per cent of the values
go into the sulphurets. In the Rand,
in South Africa, very little ore is smelt-
ed The average grade of the ores is
less than one ounce, but the produc-
ton from the mines of the Transvaal
is the greatest in the world. In West
ralia, in the East Coolgardie dis
trict, ore that is precisely similar to
that of the Consolidated is treated at
a cost of less than $3.50 a ton. The
saving at the mills is about 80 per cent
of the assay value, and the ore runs
fNom $40 to as high as $50 a ton. The
ore is crushed by stamps at the rate
of five and one-half tons for each
stamp. At the Ivanhoe mine, in that
district, the company has only 10C
stamps in operation. It is the inten.
ton of the Consolidated company to
model their plant after the Ivanhoe
with a few improvements.
John H. Mackenzie. general manager
of the Goldfeld Consolidated, said yes
terday: "The proposition of extract
ing the values from ores like our wal
solved years ago. Metallurgy has made
rapid strides in the past few years
and / am inclined to think that W,
will be able to make a greater saving
than in any section of the world.
owing TO the character of crr ores
The grade, of course, is higher than il
the Rand, Australia, or Cripple Greek
but with modern methods there is n,
reason why nearly all of the produc'
of the camp can rot be treated at home
Mining men talk about the isolation Of
Goldfeld. but we are not as isolated
as the mines around Johannesburg o.
Kalgoorlie. 1t will take a little tim,
to get the plants in operation. High
grade, of course, will be shipped, bu
the mine owners will get a better rat,
Co. transportation and treatment thar
is offered now before it IL done.'

There is no occasion for anyone to
raise a howl because the soldiers have
been sent to Goldfeld. They are not
going to bother any man so long as
he attends to his own bbusiness. There
fore no man if he be peaceable, need
fear them. What if there had beer
no violence or disorder previous to the
