Alabama, Georgia, Missouri, North
Carolina, Porto Rico, Philippine Is
lands, South Carolina, Tennessee and
Virginia produced small quantities
Of gold and silver, which are included
in the totals.
The commercial value of fine silver
in 1906 averaged about 6S cents per
ounce and in 1907 about IS cents per
ounce.
The production of fine silver in
1906 amounted to 56,5l7 300 ounces.
A revision of the foregoing figures
will proba bly, increase the gold show
ing of Colorado by at least s., 200, 900.
Usually the preliminary mint returns
are too conservative, and a revision
generally increases the grand aggre-
gate several millions.
The reports of the state press vary
considerably, but a conservative
medium would give the gold produc-
tion of the state for 1907 at very
close to s23, ,OC0, 900, including the
placer production and other output
that usually escape official returns.

Miner Asks SIS, 900 as Result Of Accident.

Alleging that he has been crippled
for life by injuries received from an
accident while working for the Denn-
Arizona Mining company, Rex M.
MacEwan has filed an action in the
district court for damages in the
sum of Sl5, 600 and costs of suit.
The complaint states that on the
7th of February the plaintiff was in
the employ of the mining company
as miner, and d member of what
was called the ''shaft crew." That
on the above date he with four other
miners got on the cage at the 1000
foot level and were to be lowered to
the 1,l00-foot station. That after
they had entered on the cage, and
without warming, the cage dropped
onto the "chairs" at the 1,1OO-station
with great velocity, and that as re-
suit of said fall plaintiff was greatly
Injured, that his knee cap was frac-
tured and broken, and the muscles
and ligaments surrounding the same
torn. That his occupation is that of
a miner, and that such injuries have
incapacitated him from doing such
work or any work where free knee
action is required.
He alleges that the defendant COM
.pany was aware that the engine and
cage that were used were out of re-
pair, and that four or five weeks pre-
vious to the accident number of the
employees refused to ride upon the
cage until it was fixed or repaired.
That the accident was not the result
of. his carelessness, but solely the
fault of the company. He therefore
asks the court to award him damages
in the sum of $4,000 and costs of
the case.

MetaIIiferOus Output Of Entire Country
Summarized and Compared.

The director of the mint in his pre-
liminary report sends out the follow
ing statement: The production of
gold in the United States fell off S4,-
753, ,401 in 1907, as against 1906, where
as the amount of silver produced was
increased by over 1, ZOO, 900 fine ounces.
Alaska's gold production fell off a
little more than So, 100000.
Colorado is known to have led all of
the states in 1907 in the production
of gold, as it did in 1906, the amount
however, being reduced from nearly
s21, ,OOO, 900 in 1906.
Montana leads the list in the pro-
duction of silver, with II, ,I18, 900 fine
ounces, with Colorado and Utah only
few thousand ounces behind.

APPRENTICES SHOP SCHOOLS.
Santa Ee Inaugurates a New Institution
at Albuquerque.

F. w. Thomas, superintendent of
the new apprentice school system of
the Santa Fe, left last week for Cali
fornia, after completing the work of
installing an apprentice school at the
local shops. The school for the pres
ent is located in the second story of
the general Office building and desks
and blackboards and other necessary
paraphernalia have been placed in
position. Several hours per week
will be set aside for the purpose of
giving instruction to the apprentices
in all branches of work and they will
lie required to attend them, without
exec ptiou. Competent instructors
will be provided to teach the subjects
that will be of the most benefit to
the young men. SIT is a deplorable
fact, but nevertheless true" said a
man who is we'll acquainted with the
apprentice system, ''that most of
the apprentices when they commence
to learn trade, are in great many
cases entirely ignorant of mathe-
mdLlCS, SONIC Oh CucH even uOI uu-
derstanding common fractions. This
should not be so, especially in the
case of machinlst apprentices, who
should be well posted in at least ele-
mentary arithmetic. It is for the
purpose of counteracting this that
the railroads all over the country are
to establish apprentice
schools. The boys and young men
while they are learning their trades
will be taught mathematics, me-
chanical engineering, draughting,
physics and other things that is abso-
lutely necessary for a good mechanic |
TO know. The. classes will be held in
the day time and the apprentices will |
be required to attend them regularly |
and have their lessons prepared |
They will be under the same discip- |
line in the school room as they are in
the shop. l am convinced that the |
new system will be a great benefit |
not only to the company, but also to
the young men fortunate enough to
recognize the fact that knowledge |
is power "

To mention how on the Coronado
The coaches all were smashed,
1 shall not tell for all know well;
It's only news rehashed.
But it's abuse, the cars they use
To ride from town to town,
With cracks in floors and open doors
Where draughts drive up and down.
The doctor would cure if he could,
In vain all he can do
I'm almost dead, pain in the head,
Ah-hoo, cu-choo, cu-choo!
With jerk and jolt lost my holt,
My new store tScth were sprung,
With heavy drop they fell atop
My mutilated tongue.
The tall man stood, or thought he
would,
And starts to make the proof;
AS he rose up the car came down,
He almost raised the roof.
A sudden wrench, he lost his bench,
Went sprawling on the floor,
And held there tight or else he might
Have shot right out the door.

The Californian cried,
"TO the jolts and jars of the box cars
This railroad has us ride.

Already packed your grip?

GREENE. .CANANEA.
Minority Stockholders of Greene Con-
sOIidated Are Asking Questions.

A committee of the minority stock
holders of the Greene Consolidated
Copper company visited the Office of
the Greene-Cananea company last
week to ascertain the status of the
Greene Consolidated stockholders.
1t appears that there are 10000
shares still outstanding. and OF these
II, 900 shares we're represented at the
conference.
One of the spokesmen for the
minority stockholders was L. H. New
kirk, lawyer of Wall street, who
represented dissatisfied stockholders.
F. w. Taylor, of Philadelphia, was
another. TLey inquired of the re-
suits obtained from the cash the con-
solidated company had when it began
business year ago. They were told
that by the subscription to the 2OO,-
600 shares at $40 share of Cananea
Central stock the treasury of the
merger obtained 81, 100000. This sum
was increased by the payment of Sl,-
900, 900 by Colonel Greene for 81 per
cent. of the stock of the Sierra
Madre Land s. Lumber company,
which was in the treasury of the old
Greene Consolidated.
1t also developed that Colonel
Greene assumed notes which the COM
pany had endorsed, but which Colonel
Greene was responsible for. He gave
notes for the payment of $3.50, 900 in
instalments. The first one was paid
but when the second note became due
the Colonel did not pay up, and now,
within short time, the third note is
maturing. The Greene-Cananea had
to pay the second instalment of $780,
600 and unless the colonel is in better
financial condition when the third
note falls due, the company expects
to pay it. as it did the second.
The 100000 in cash which the
company had year ago, when it
started business, has dwindled con-
siderably. 1t became necessary for
the new management to pay 81, $780,
600 in floa ting debt, and in addition
81, ,250, 900 had to be spent for supplies
including timber. The Sl50,000 in
stalment on the obligation assumed
by Colonel Greene drew the balance
down further, and there were drafts
for improvements which the new
management had begun to make.
The proposition of the engineering
department has been to reduce the
manufacturing or refining cost to
point as low as that which prevails in
the Phelps, Dodge & Co. plants not
100 miles away. 1t is estimated that
fully 100000 had been spent in that
direction.--Boston News Bureau.

UNJUST IMPROVE THEIR LINES.
Texas Railroad Commission Issues Orders
to Several Companies.

The railroad commission issued or.
ders directing the International &
Great Northern and Texas & Pacific
railroads to improve the physical
condition of their lines. They are
ordered also to increase their passen-
ger train schedules, so as to equalize
the average time that trains are late
at terminals.
These orders are the result of re-
cent inspection by the commissioners.
The International is directed to bal
last with stone or gravel its entire
main line from Lakeview to Laredo,
and to ballast with sand its trackway
on the Mineolo, Georgetown and Hen
derson branches, and must relay with
75-pound rails the division of road
from San Antonio to the Laredo and
Mineolo branches.
The Forth Worth & Denver is or
dered to complete its work of ballast
ing within the next two years, as well
as to erect new depots at Amarillo,
Quanah and Decatur.
The Texas & Pacific must improve
its entire eastern division, and the
division from Whiteboro to Fort
Worth, comprising an entire distance
of 400 miles. New ballast is ordered
and also 75-pound rails on eighty-two
miles of road, and 56-pound rails
must be laid from Sherman east to
Bagwell. New depots are ordered at
Marshall and Honey Grove, and re-
