MURPHY TALKS OF COPPER.

c. S. Murphy, business manager for
the wholesale house of Fred j. Kie-
sci & Company of Ogden, has re-
turned from a trip to Ely and other
Nevada camps. He reports Ely pros
porous in spite of the money strin-
gency. Development work has been
retarded to a great extent by the
financial stringency. Mr.. Murphy
states that the merchants of the city
carry big stock of goods when it is
considered that the present popula-
ton is but four thousand people. The
banks are entirely solvent but have
adopted rules to protect themselves
as have the banks in other sections.
Contrary to reports, work on the
mammoth Guggenheim smelter has
not closed Part of the force of en-
ployes has been laid off temporarily,
however, and not until the machinery
arrives will the present force be in
creased Mr.. Murphy states that
business in that section of Nevada is
good and that his house has conf
dence in the future of the state

OFFICIAL FIGURES ON PRODUC.
TION.

Director of the Mint George e.
Roberts, has completed compilation
of the statistics on production of gold
and silver in the various states and
territories of the United States for
the calendar year 1906.
The total production of silver in
the United States during the calen-
dar year 1906 is given as SO, 81 Z, =
600 fine ounces of the commercial
value of $3S,256, 400, as against &c.
101, 500 fine ounces of the CONNER
cial value of $34,221,976 in 1905.
The net gain in the production of
silver during the calendar year 1906
in Arizona was 363, 500 ounces, CAL
ifornia $4,000, Idaho 10000 and
Utah 1,1SS,200. The loss in the pro-
duction of silver during the year in
Montana was 914 400 ounces, and in
Colorado 1876, 400 ounces.
Mr. Roberts estimates the produce
ton of gold in the United States dur
ing the calendar year 1906 to have
been $94,373,S00, as against $751;
10000 for the calendar year 1905,
a net gain in 1906 of $6,193, 100.
The principal gain was in Alaska,
which amounted to $6,439,500. Ne

The next largest loss was in Mon
tana, $367,300, California lost 1854
200, Washington 100000, Idaho

FIRELESS COOKING.

F there Is anything that the house
wife dreams about In the summer
time it is a freless cooker, and that
Is just what the department tof agri-
culture is introducing to the farming
community In one of its bulletins. OF
course, II sounds almost too good to be
true. but the department says that
experiments have been made, and the
flreless cooker has delivered the goods.
The theory IS chat many eatables, es-
pecially those that are boiled, are better
when cooked for a long time at a low
temperature than they are cooked for
short time az a high temperature,
says the Washington Star, Vegetables
keep moro their flavor and nutriment
by the slow method. and meats OF all
kinds are more tender ana palatable.
And another joy is uat a mere frac-
tion OF the fuel r. used in the process
The contrivance chat the department
has been experimenting with comes
from Norway ana Ia known as the hay
box cooker Any man can make one
for himself.
TIE cooker has been in use in Nor
way for a long time and was part OF
the Norwegian exhibit at the Paris eX-
position IN 1851. II is simply box.

After making his battery. with induce
ton coils and all, such as the doctor
used on his mother, he started to do
electrical repairing and to install door
bells. With this work he kept himself
in high school for two years, and then
he began to seek work repairing cleo
trical appliances in the offices of ply
sicians, for these devices Interested him
most, and he wanted chance to study

Unable to continue in high school,
young Madsen turned his attention to
practical electricity, and became cleo
trician at the Salt Lake theater. This
gave him a laboratory In which he
learned much, and when the great Iri-
quois fire occurred in Chicago, he told
the management he coulf make a de-
vice that would prevent such panics
as occurred there on account of the
sudden darkness following the burning
out of the fuse boxes by the flames on
the stage.

SOME INVENTIONS.

II was his work here that started him
back to the schools, for he found to
progress that he had TO read up the
original experiments of the greater
electrical workers. To do this necessi-
tated a knowledge of calculus and trig-
onometrv. He came back To the Uni
versty of Utah secured n position as
assistant TO Or. Hartman in the de-
partment of physics, and while he did
laboratory work for him, he studied
mathematics. Meanwhile his work in
