 In 1905 there were 183 prope : ties credited with a production oi one million or more pounds of fin. copper each. Of the one hundrr leading producers, one, the smeltcr trust, drew ores from nearly al of North America, while the others were ,Ocatcd as follows: Unittd States, 46; Mexico, II; Chile, 10; Japan, $; Canada and Australia, , each; Spain, Russia and Car e Colony, 8 each; Germany, ?; Tas- mania, Norway, Italy, Turkey and Newfoundland, one each. Ninety. four of these 100 properties made more than 3,000.O0O pounds of fine copper each in 1905.

were all wealthy beyond their fond- est anticipations. Each quarter section that had seemed worthless had appreciated in price until it was worth $40 an acre, or more than $6,000. Well, when 1 went back there they hailed me with one accord as their friend and deliv- erer. The story was different en- tirely.
 "Here in the Yaqui delta they will find a soil far richer, a greater production per acre, wider range of products, the world for market, with the cheapest freights to reach those markets, and an imposslbility of crop failure, for with irrigation and the abundant supply of water there can be no failure; and the kind of immigration that has done so much for Kansas, the Dakotas and other parts of the Great West and Northwest, will find here op- portunities for enrichment beside which those that met their com patriots from the Old World will dwindle to insignificance. It will be good to be alive twenty years from now, to revisit the Yaqui delta and note the difference in condi- tions."

WHERE OUR FORESTS co
A Concise Account of the Cause for the Rapid Destruction of Amer ican Forests.

More than three and one-half million tons of wood were made into pulp during the last year Most of this was converted into paper, and of the paper the greater portion was used for printing books and newspapers. The supremacy of the United States in using the greatest amount of reading matter per capita is maintained at the cost of an enormous drain upon the forests.
 Yet besides paper there are a number of other special uses to which the great quantity of wood- pulp was put. From pulp factories it went to other establishments where it was made into a number of different articles of very diverse use. Among these articles is the water pail made of wood fiber which is now more familiar sight than the one made of actual wood. In addition to pails, wood pulp is used in our homes in the form of basins, dishes, boxes and picture frames. The use of wood pulp for car wheels has long been known, but a new use reported from Germany is that for telegraph poles. Articles of wood pulp have considerable bear ing on electrical industries as in the case of conduits and insulators lin various forms.
 Americans now use wood-pulp steam and water pipes, shoe heels, horseshoes, spools, tool handles, buttons, pulleys, paving blocks and collins. Paper or wood pulp surgeon splints have many advan- tages of other materials, in their lightness, strength, and fexibility. Perhaps the most unique use is for observatory domes. Here again its lightness, strength and fexibility commend it, and in addition it has none of the disadvantages which arise from the use of metallic sub- stances near to sensltized lnstru- merts.
