decrease in the hydraulic mining Of gold,
formerly so important an industry in
California, the deceased amount of gold

to ship ores OF the precious metals to

Comparison With Worlds Quicksilver
Production.

Statistics Of world production of
quicksilver for 1907 arc not yet available,
but comparison Of the figures for guam
titles produced in foreign countries in
1906 with those for the United States in
that year shows that this country ranked
second among the quicksilver producers
in that year, Spain having first place.
Austria held third place, Italy fourth,
and Russia fifth. Practically all of the
quicksilver product of Spain comes from
the famous old mines of Almaden, where
about 1000 men are employed. 1t is
probable that these mines alone contain
sufficient reserve ore to enable them to
dominate the worlds market.

Mexican Ouicksilver Deposits.

The great Importance of the silver in
dustry in Mexico and the extensive use
of amalgamation processes there in the
recovery OF this metal give particular
interest to the use OF local deposits of
einnahar as sources Of supply to meet
the demand for quicksilver. The Mexi-
can production, however, never satisfac-
torilv reported. seems for many years to
have been insignificant, and the result is
a large annual importation from the
United States. The best known deposits
Of Mexico are probably those in San Luis
potosi. Guerrero. and Queretaro Min
inc and metallurgical methods in Mexico
have been so wasteful that the real pos
sibilities of the deposits are very little
known. but it seems probable that the
active development Of the Mexican de-
posits and the installation Of modern
furnaces would not only resglt in cutting
of much Of this market for the United
States product but would also, through
decreased amalgamation costs. make pro
itabie the owrking OF many low grade
silver ores that are now neglected.

THREE CENT FARE A FAILURE?
Monthly Reports Show Deficit In
 Cleveland Traction Returns.

Cleveland, O., July 19,-Cleveland has had nearly three months of three cent street car fare, and two of the month- ly reports have shown deficit. A sim liar report is predicted for July. The operating expenses and fixed charges have been from $iJ,000 to $50000 a month in excess of the earnings, The Municipal Traction company which is operating the local lines under a lease, also is under a promiseto give free transfers July 2s. The revenue from transfers has been about $30,OO0 a month, cent each having been charg- ed.
 Several weeks ago President A. B Dupont of tho operating company stat ed that he expected the company to lose money during the first year The officials of the company still express the belief that the three cent fare will pay in time An important meet- ing of tho directors will be held next Tuesday to consider the inauguration of free transfers and other vital points The transfers will be made free for a time as an experiment, to see If 1t will increase the patronage.

MAY ABANDON PUMP.
Director Foley Getting Busy on Arte-

Director Foley of the department of public works has started work on putting into commission the artesian well on the green. providing an andy sis of the water in the deep we'll shows that 1t contains nothing dele terious. A deep well pumping ma chine has been installed near the pipe that was driven and water will be taken by the machine from the lowest depths of the well and sub jected to analyzation.
 It Is probable that if the water Is found satisfactory. the well will be given to public use. It may be con nected with an electric pump so that water will be supplied through a stand pipe or modest fountain or 1t may be decided to connect the well with the Bennett memorial fountain.
 There is a likelihood that if the arteslan well Is suitable for public supply that the famous old pump on the green will be dispensed with. Dur ing the heated spell. as on many oc- castons before, the old pump has been very popular with the public. It's cool water has been greatly appreciated

GAMES AT LIGHTHOUSE.
Israel Putnams Handlly Capture Both
 Contests from Franklin Team.

Fully one thousand people went down Co Lighthouse Point yesterday to witness the double header between the Israel Putnams and the Franklins. The first contest was Q hair-raiser, the Putnams pulling out ahead by the score of 3 to 2, while the other game was easy for the same team who ran away with 1t by the score of l3 to D. Doeppensmith, In the first contest pitched git-edge ball, striking out twelve men and allowing but four hits. In this game both of tho amateur teams put up high class article of ball and the fans were well pleased. The feature of this game was the bat ting of Woodcocl< and Rogers. each getting two bingos good for two sacks. O'Connell, who was behind the timber for the Putnams, caught q great game and the whole team play i ed with q dash that put the opposing nine out of business at the getaway.
 In the second game Warner and Jones were matched, the latter receiv- i ing hard treatment from the Putnams. i O'Connell's club hit the ball like vet | erans and from the first inning there was no question about the result In the first game Jones, Mckay and Pen ] dergast were in the points and worked | to perfection. "Dasher" Kelly's work l in left field delighted everybody and 1 all in all the exhibitions were good. Jones has twlrled for the TuXedos, while Mckay Is a well known pitcher throughout the state. The Putnam's catcher worked in both both games and caught eight men at second in the 1 first game and nine in the second, which went but five innings, much to the relief of the crowd The first con- test was especially worthy of notice, but the last game was joke. Tom mers, Torgeson, Stowe and other we'll known amateurs. starred for OCon- nells team while "Dasher" Kelly was the big chief of the Franklns.
 The result of these games places the Putnams in tie for first place with the Butler A. C. and these two clubs will meet in the near future when one of the best games of the year Is prom ised, The score by innings of both contests follows:

Go Too Fast.
(Springheld Republican.


 It may prove that the electric motor had nothing to do with the accident, but for the moment an impression seems to prevail that somehow rela- tionship exists though, of course. not one which would initiate against tho use of the electric motor under any conditions. Evidently, however, the new motor requires more careful ham ding in the matter of speed What was observed In the Harlem accident near Brewsters Is again being remark ed among engineers that the electric motor is constantly being exposed to the danger of being driven too fast from It's inability to impress upon the driver, as by the piston strokes of the steam locomotive, a notion of the speed being made. closer watch upon the speed gauge evidently needs to be forc- ed upon electric motor drivers, for rail- road tracks as now constructed is not made to stand up under any possible speed of which the steam locomotive or the electric motor is capable.
