will be remembered that some years

Mr.. Richards, commissioner OF the

director of the reclamation service,
and Mr.. Pinchot, chief Of the forest
service, to make study Of the exist

with reference TO possible changes in
such laws. This commission has I'M
doubtedly studied the situation with
great care, having called numerous
meetings throughout the west gener-
ally with reference to the subject,
and having given vast amount OF
study to existing conditions through
the numerous officers of these vari.

to time the commission has made pro

a thorough understanding Of the

There are many however, who con-
tend that the commission and the
president have gone too far in these
matters. At any rate congress has
done nothing in the way of enacting
laws to carry into effect the recon-

Is quite certain that powerful influ-
ences have been at work to defeat
the wishes the president in these
matters and whether or not this OPP
position comes from pure patriotism
or from selfish motives will undoubt-

from the White House that the presi-
dent believes that the opposition
which is being made to his policies
is not altogether unselfish. At least
the following quotation from dis
patches that were recently sent out
would seem to indicate as much:

AUGUST OUTPUT
SHOWS DECLINE
CRIPPLE CREEK MINES RUN FAR
BELOW THE 81, 100000
MARK.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Sept. 1O.-The
output of gold from the Cripple
Creek district for August is less than
1t has been during any month of the
last seven years on account of the
destruction of the Golden Cycle mill.
The figures are $4,000 below the
$1,000,00O mark, which has been
considered low monthly average.
The output for August amounts to
1929 tons of ore, with total val
uation of $923,2S6, showing a drop
of 6,973 tons and $243,63S below
the July output Every other month
of this year has produced ore ex-
ceeding $1,250,000. The output
figures for the month just closed, al
though showing how much ore the
various plants have treated, cannot
be taken as an example of the
amount of gold being produced in
the Cripple Creek district, as there
is more ore in sight than ever be-
fore, yet some of the mine operators,
especially leasers, decline to market
the mineral until they can get rates
the same as those made by the Gold
en- Cycle Co.
That the Cycle plant was handling
an enormous tonnage of Cripple
Creek ore is shown by the quantity
of mineral treated at the mill during
the few days of August before the
fire. An increase in tonnage at the
Portland mill is noticeable. This in
crease is due to the Portland plant
handling portion of the ore for
merly sent to the Cycle mill The
production for the month of August

TWO THIEVES WERE
LANDED IN JAIL

RENO, New, Sept. 10.-Joe Will
l1ams, a crook of Seattle, and his
companion, Thomas Foley of Gold
held, entered the home of Mrs. Anna
Hymers on Fourth ST., near Sierra,
recently and carried away silverware,
cut glass, clothing, music and other
booty valued at more than $500.
They pawned some of the plumber in
the different secondhand stores of
the city and We're in the act of pawn
ing valuable violin they had stolen
to b. GoldStein on Second street
when Captain Cadle arrested them.
The two thieves are now in the city
Jail and will be charged with burg
larry
The thieves entered the home some
time after Z O'Clock by breaking
through rear window After gain
ing access to the home they entered
all the rooms and took everything
of value that they could possibly car
ry away. They left the bureau draw
ers laying on the floors and the furni-
ture was overturned. They thorough
ly ransacked the place and when they
left the interior looked as if young
cyclone had been circulating around
in the various rooms.
The men are hard looking charac-
tiers and when searched at the police
station skeleton keys and other burg
lar tools were found upon them, prov
ing that they are old hands at the
business. They deny their guilt, but
the fact that property stolen from
the Hymers' home was found upon
them will tend greatly to prove their
guilt, and will probably result in both
men serving a term in the Nevada
state penitentiary.
Louis Hymers, the little son of
Mrs. Anna Hymers, the well known
music teacher, who is now on her
way home from Newport, visited the
house in the evening about $50, and
it was all right at that time. He
stayed at his grandmother home and
in the morning went to his mother S
home to open the house, believing
that she would be home. 1t was then
that he discovered the burglary. He
reported the matter to the police,
and the officers Immediately began
looking for the thieves.
The two men entered the Goldstein
secondhand store the following af-
ternoon and were trying to pawn a
violin they had stolen, when Gold
stein notified Captain Cadle The
men were still negotiating for the
sale of the violin when arrested.

AN EMBRYO GENIUS, SURELY.

A private school for boys on Mad

undoubtedly is destined to high
rank as a literary genius, says the
New York Press. For some infrac-
ton of discipline this boy was SEN
fenced to remain after hours and
write an essay of 200 words on
birds. This is what he wrote:
81 do not like birds, for in the
morning when I am trying to sleep
they keep me awake with their
twittering, twittering, twittering,
twittering, twittering, twitterlng,
twittering, twittering, twittering."
And so on to the extent of about rs
words more. "And when | get mad
and turn over and try and try and
try and try and try to get to sleep
they still continue to chirp, chirp,
chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp."
And SO on as before. "Birds, too,
are awful greedy things. They
don't do nothing all day but fly
around and peck, peck, peck, peck,
peck, peck, peck, peck" And so on
until the required number of words
was completed.

NOW FOR WAR ON

NEXT FOE ADMINISTRATION
WILL CROSS SWORDS WITH

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. To-
Secretary of the Interior James r

lined the administration next great
clash with the trusts.

of the intention to wage a campaign

Mr. Garfield said he would be ac-

the department of commerce and la
Dor, and by the inland waterways

COPPER IS USED
FOR ALL INDUSTRIES
ENORMOUS INCREASE IN USES
OF RED METAL MEAN DOU-
BILE CONSUMPTION.

The average man, If asked to
name, offhand, the uses of copper
would be likely to reply that the
metal was used mainly for coming
pennies and making wire, yet these
uses employ barely more than a quar-
ter of the copper that is produced.
On second thought, he might smile
at naming copper coinage as an i'm
portant consumer of the metal, vet
his first thought would be nearer
right than his second, for the Chi
nese empire has used $4,000 tons
Of copper for making new coins with
in the past two years, thereby in
creasing the circulating medium of
the country to the extent of four
ounces for each inhabitant-for
while $4,000 tons of copper is a large
quantity of metal sufficient to load
a thousand freight cars of the heavi-
est type used on American railroads,
it is but a quarter of an avoirdupois
pound per capita when divided among
100000 people.
Only the expert, or those engaged
most actively in the copper industry
have the slightest idea of the diver
sified uses to which copper is put, as
shown by a chapter on the uses of
the metal in the new edition of the
Copper Handbook, published by Hor-
ace J. Stevens of Houghton, Michi-
gan. According to this book, copper
enters into every form of human ac-
tivity and the multiplicity of it's uses
is most surprising. Electric light,
power and traction are immense con-
sumers of the metal in the form of
wire, and telephones and telegraphs
find it Indispensable, yet electricity
requires only a trifle more than
quarter of the metal made. The
engineering trades consume more
than half of all the copper produced,
mainly in the form of brass, but
there are about score of friction
metals and alloys, each having its
specific use, into which copper enters
as component part.
The building trades are enormous
consumers of copper, and this sort
of consumption is increasing rapidly.

Brass pipes, nickeled, are in modern

In the manufacturing world the
uses of copper and brass are innu-
