Calais, Me, Jan. 22.-With the head
terribly battered by blows from a club,
the body of Andrew Higgins, a Bailey
Vile farmer, was found today partly
concealed under a brush pile not far
from the little cabin where nc dwelt

the motive of the crime. AS a result
of the investigation thus far made, the
authorities were of the opinion tonight
that Higgins was attacked from behind

Higgins had not been seen since
Thursday. The body was found by

who while walking along path near
the camp discovered blood spots on the

they found the body.

the story the tramp returned Saturday
after being absent a day or two and

Washington, Jan. 22.-The secretary
Of the treasury late today announced
that, owing to the great Improvement
in financial conditions throughout the
country, he had begun the gradual
Withdrawals of deposits of public

This is in addition to about SO, 200, 900

Washington, Jan. 22.-The penal code
bill was again up for consideration in
the House Of Representatives today and
the debate was opened on a substitute
by Ollie James, kentucky, for the
amendment offered yesterday, making
it criminal offence for any officer or
eInpioye of the government to issue any
false statistics or information relative
to products of the soil Mr.. James said
he specially desired to reach persons
in the agricultural department having
to do with tobacco figures.
Mr.. Mann, Illinois, was unable to
convince Mr.. James that there was
already n law to meet the case and the
latter urged the adoption of the amend
ment.
For time the House proceeded with
other business.
Amid Democratic applause the
amendment was adopted without divi-
sion. The penalty prescribed under it
is a fine of $4,000 and imprisonment for
not more than five years.

CHAFEY MINES TO SHIP
HEAVY ORE TONNAGE

The following is taken from the last is
sue of the Lovelock Review:
Within the next thirty days the big
hosting plant and other machinery will
erty. When this work is completed there
will be a largely increased extraction of
ore and il is expected that all previous
records for ore shipments in the state of
Nevada will be smashed.
Jack Coll, one of Loyeiock's leading
mining men. and who has just returned
from the new Ell Dorado, is authority for
the above statement. Mr.. Coll said that
practically all of the new machinery was
now on the ground and that the grading
was we'll under way. The mine is to be
equipped with the latest and improved
machinery and when completed will be
second to none in the state. In addition
plete mine outfit. new roads are being
built the old mill is being remodeled
and instead of using coal, oil burners will
be installed. and altogether the manage
ment is planning to carry out work on
much larger scale than ever before.
Mr.. Coll says that between forty and
fifty leasers are now at work and a great
many of them are developing extensive
" with the most gratifying results. a
large number of big sales have been re-
ported during the past few, weeks, and
this is regarded as one of the best indi-
cations of faith in the camp
The tonnage going out now, says Mr.
Coll, is not so large as it was in August
due principally to the fact that the i'm
provements going on around the mine
will not permit taking out the ore.
A large number of people are going into
the camp every day, new strikes are
being made. a great number of new
buildings are going up. and altogether
the camp looks as though it would be
big winner.

Of interest by men identified with cop

The advent of THE Salt Lake crowd
into copper mining in Arizona looks GER
tam 10 prove an epOchal event. Arizona
now leads the world in the production of
copper-leads Montana and Michigan by
a very long lead, the former by 100000
pounds. the latter by 100000 a year.
That was for 1907. My judgment is that
her lead will be as SOod as that this year
and probably a little better.
Arizona's copper output is produced at
a lower cost than any other region in the
world is able to produce an equal guam

Arizona does not produce her copper at as
low cost ds Utah. but Utah does not,
and probably never can produce as much
copper as AriZOna-haSD't the deposits.

in the United States today is that done by

GOOD DIVIDEND EXPECTED
FROM THE SIOUX CON.

About the prettiest face of ore that has
been seen in the Tintic district in many
days is that which is now exposed in the
Sioux Consolidated, one of the sensations
of the year in the mining line, says the
Eureka Reporter.
The work which has already been done
proves the ore body to be over sixty feet
in width. with vertical depth and lateral
extent actually unknown. For some time
past the output of the mine has been
about fifty tons per day, and when it is
understood that this ore is being taken
from one chute it is certainly splendid
record for this new bonanza.
Within the next few days Del Roberts.

couple more ore chuteS ready for use,
and then the mines output will be in
creased to a considerable extent. The
Sioux ore compares very favorably with
that which has been extracted from the
same vein in the Colorado ground; in

comparison with that of other countries of
the world. from which it appears that
during the period of forty years the per-
centage Of the worlds total produced by
the United States has increased from 14.32
to 1913, and that since 1899 this country
has held first place among the coal-pro-
ducing countries. 1t now stands far in
the lead of all others, having so far out
distanced Great Britain that that coun-
try no longer can be considered rival.
although it is only nine years since it
was supplanted by the United States as
the greatest coal-producing country of the
world.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-10-05

1t will be observed that in 1907 the Unit
ed States produced 60 per cent more coal
than Great Britain and over 100 per cent
more than Germany. Exclusive of Great
Britain. the United States produced in
1907 more coal than all the other coun-
tries of the world combined. 1t may also
be noted that more than 9S per cent of the
total worlds production of coal is from
countries north of the equator. tfJ coun-
tries south of that line producing less
than 20 100000 tons annually

so that the sulphides of the Ray will be
a boon to it. There are some sub-surface
indications that the two great companies
will be operated as hand and glove to
each other, and Los Angeles capital is

Although both of these vast deposits,
