A most interesting chapter in
the volume entitled Mineral
Resources of the United States.
1905" !" published by the United
States Geological Survey, is
that which contains a summary
of the mineral production Of the
United States during that year.
In 1905. for the seventh time,
the total value of our mineral
production exceeded the en-
ormOus sum of Sl,O0O,OO0 900.
The exact Ggures for 1905 are
1923, ,s77,l27, as compared with
81 800, 1888, ,554 in 1904.
AS heretofore, iron and coal
are the most important of our
mineral products. The value
of the iron IN 1905 was S3S2, ,45O. B.
600; the value of the coal, Sl76,-
75G, 963. The fuels increased
from S5S4,043, ,236 in 1904 to
$500, ,4772l7 in 1905, a gain of
SIS, 433 ,9Sl, or BIG per cent.
Anthracite coal showed an in
crease in value of S2,9Of. $50
from Sl3S, ,974 ,O2Oi in 1904 90 Sl41. -
$4,000 in 1905. The increase
in value of the bituminous coal
output over 1908 was $40, 4SO. 900
a combined increase in value
of coal of S32 1855, 932 i'm 1908. or
6.3 per cent.
The gain of SOP 1888. .573 i'm
the total value of our mineral
production is due to gains I'M
both metallic and nonmetallic
products, the metallic products
showing an increase from s5OI. -
099, $50, in 1904 90 S702.453. los
in 1905, a gain Of S29l, ,353.I5S,
and the nonmatallic products
showing an increase from S92l.-
O24,6O4 in 1904 60 S92l .924.OI9
IN 1908, gain of SIS" .G4O.4l5.
To these products should be
aided estimated unspecifed
products, in C ludin mo
iybdenum, bismuth, tungsten.
and other mineral products,
valued at Si00, 900, making the
mineral production for 1908 of
Sl,623, 23,S77,l2s.
Besides the usual table and
summary of quantities and
values of the country's minera
output by products, the volume
contains this year, for the first
time, a summary, in tabulated
form, of the value of the miner
al products by States. These
tables were compiled by Mr..
VIM. Taylor Thorn.

With a few exceptions the
glaciers are all receding very
rapidly, and this fact is especi-
ally noticeable at Muir. the b st
known Of the Alaskan glaciers.
The front of this ice stream.
which was confined TO a narrow
neck during the last decade has
receded, since 1889, a distances
of TO s miles into much broader
portions of the inlet, so that the
present ice front, instead of
being , miles across, forms a
hemicircle n early 7 miles
around. This recession has
been attributed TO the earth
quake of 1899. which may have
had some effect upon the gla-
cier, but the chief cause OF this
remarkable retreat is undoubt-
edly due 20 its recession into
the much wider portion Of the
inlet, thus exposing a far broad
er ice front 10 the action Of tidal
currents. The other glacier
tributary TO Glacier Bay have
suffered similar changes. and

ice bergs that are constantly
thrown off, the Bay is no longer

a demand from producers of
gas and coke and the by-pro-
ducts of tar and ammonia. for
statistical information on these
subjects.
The present report includes,
IN addition TO the statistics of
the production of gas, coke. tar.
and ammonia at gas works and
in by-product coke ovens. a
statement of the production Of
quantity Of gas and tar pro-
duced at water-gas works using
crude oilfor enriching purposes.
These statistics have not been
considered in any Of the pre-
ceding reports. At some of the
gas houses oil is used with the
coal in the production Of gas. but
the entire production is included
IN the statistics of coal gas.

OIL And WATER GAS.
Returns were re ceiv q
from AZ oil and water-gas
producing companies. and these
show that the total production
OF water gas i'm 1908 was 50. -
$50 DDS. 50i cubic feet. OF this
quantity 5.547,203.9lS cubic feet
or 6.7 per cent, were lost bv

production obtained and sold.
AS the quantity of gas made
and sold at coal gas and by
product coke oven works was
i0,15f,2l5,l3l cubic feet. it|
appears that the consumption
OF water gas, and gas made
from crude oil was nearly twice
as much as that made from coal.
lt also appears that while the
average price Of coal gas in 1905
was STA cents per 1000 cubic
feet, that of oil and water gas
combined was a fraction of a

Yom Kippur, the most solemn day of
the Hebrew year, will begin at sunset
TODAY. It is known as the Day of
Atonement, and is observed with fasting
and prayer. Yom Kippur falls on the
tenth day OF the month of Tisri, and is
the concluding ceremonial in the New
Years observance. The season opens
on New Year, or Rosh Hsshonsh, the
first day of Tisri, which is observed as q
day of praise and prayer. The inter
vening days are known as days of peni-
tence. The Jewish day begins at sunset.
The ceremonies begin at sunset one day
and end ct sunset the next. Yom Kip
pur is strictly observed by all Jews.
Every one over thirteen years old lasts
for twenty -four hours. The burden OF
the services is penitence. The services
vary at the synsgogues. At some OF
them they begin early and are continued
practically all day, The traditional
chants are sung and special musical
proprammes are rendered. Services will
be held in the Synagogue in this city to-
night. They will be conducted by Rabbi
