TAFT PAYS VISIT
TO COPPER MINE
Descends Into Underground
Workings at Butte.
SEES ANACONDA SHELTERS

President Much Impressed With the
Extent of the Mining Industry in
the Two Montana cltes-Tendon
Sprained Before Leaving Beverly
Causes Executive to Walk With
Decided Limp.
Butte, Mont, Sept. 2S.-When Pres
ident Taft arrived in Butte he found
city eager to welcome him. the
streets gay with bunting and nothing
in sight to mar his reception. He was
welcomed at the depot by a big recep-
tion committee. Automobiles took
him and his party over the line of
parade mapped out several days ago
and after a speech by him on North
Montana street opposite the court
house he was whisked away to his,
train and started on the journey to
Helena, where he was welcomed by
thousands of people at the state fair
grounds.
When the parade here, headed by
the president, reached the speakers
stand former Senator Lee Mantle in
troduced the president to Mayor
Nevis, who, in turn. presented Mr..
Taft to the throng. As in other cities
the school children formed feature
of the greeting to the president. The
children all carried flags and saluted
the chief executive as he passed in
his motor.
Strike Causes Change In Plans.
Trouble between the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners and the organiza-
tion of the engineers in the mines
caused change in the original pro-
gramme. It had been planned for Mr..
Taft to spend some time in the mines
and smelters here, but when labor
troubles became acute last week the
committee changed the arrangement
so that part of the time was spent
at Anaconda, where the smelters were
visited and examined. The president
took lively interest In all he saw and
seemed to be much impressed with
the extent of the industry at Ana
conda and Butte.
The labor trouble, which was caused
by the engineers Withdrawing from
the federation and forming an inde-
pendent organization, gave the police
officers some apprehension and extra
precautions were taken to safeguard
the president. Both the sheriff and
the chief of police added many men
TO their regular forces.
Taft Walks With a Limp.
The president had a decided limp
in his walk when he alighted from his
special train here. He sprained a
tendon In his foot before leaving Bev-
erly, but had suffered no bother until
Sunday, when, after ten days of con
slant going with little or no rest. the
foot became swollen. DIR. Richardson
who accompanies the president, Is
treating the strained tendon. The
hurt is not serious, but is causing dis
| comfort.
The president was met at the sta
tion by band and long line of auto
mobiles. After speaking In the court
house square he was taken to the
famous old Leonard copper mine and
entering a cage with John Hays Ham
mcnd, was taken down damp and
darksome shaft to the 1.200-foot level
where he saw the miners at work In
the midst of drills and all the Other
paraphernalia of deep underground

Deafness Cannot he Cured


by local applications, as they oannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining OF the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube is restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by
catarrh, which Is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catsrrh
Cure Send for circulars, free.

In tOday's issue we publish n
notice TO contractors soliciting bids
on the construction OF mhcadam
roads in Wythe, Tazewell AMI Wise
counties, in Virginia. The Old Do
minion has state highway com
missioner, whose department pre-
scribes the character Of roads to be
built by state aid. 1t is the pur-
pose of his department to build sub
s.antial roads wherever the people
demand them AMI are willing to pay
half the cost. The state funds will
not be expended on temporary
roads. We have understood that
there was some friction between
the supervisors of TaZewell county
and the highway commissioner be-
cause of the cost Of the roads pre-
scribel by him, but in the end the
supervisors were content to build
fewer miles of road and build them
substantially. We believe the state
of West Virginia is fortunate that
the good roads measures attempted
TO be vetoed by Governor Dawson
were allowed 10 become laws. We
cannot afford to be behind Virginia
and other states in the matter of
the Improvement of our highways.
The state conyicts ought to be en-
ployed in building highways, as
they are in Virginia.

STREEr NUMBERS.

Blue!ield has 'eCently been severe
~ criticised by the fact that the
residences AMI b-siness houses mere
are not properly numbered and
this criticism is without doubt per-
fectlp just. This city has undoubt-
eily the most irregular street num-
bers Of any city IT'S size in the coun-
try and this trouble can easily be
eliminated by the enactment Of an
ordinance by the city council pro-
viding that each property owner be
required to properly number his
possessions, according to plan
which has been arranged by City
Engineer George II. Hill.
The postal authorities have stat
ed they regret that Bluefield was
provided with the free mail ieliv-
cry; that this city did not deserve
it on account Of the irregular street
numbers. &c. only fcxelrSHRDLU

this condition Of affairs is ANNOYING
ard II the Bluefelders wish an up

1t is the duty of every patriotic
citizen to work to this end and the
evening Leader also urges that the
CRY council take up the matter and
settle 81 Immediately.

WORLDS GOLD
STOCK INCREASES
Doubled in Past Quarter
Century, While Coinage is
rs Per Cent. Greater than
Decade Ago.

Washington, ID. c., May 1.-THE
worlds sock of gold has increased
about one-half in the last decade,
and doubled In the last quarter of a
century. The stock OF gold money
has meantime grown in even greater
proportions, being practically rs per
cent more than a decade ago.
This is a standardization of q Sc
ries of tables which will appear in
the statistical abstract of the United
states, about to be issued by the
Bureau OF Statistics OF the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor. These
tables show a gold production of
the world since the discovery of
America, and the amount OF gold
money in the world, country by
country. The gold production from
the discovery of America to the
present time aggregates 13 billion
dollars.
A careful study OF these tables
shows a very rapid increase in gold
production in recent years. Prior
to the year 100 the worlds gold
production averaged about 5 million
it averaged about 10 million dollars
year; from 1850 to 1850 it av-
eraged about IL million dollars a
year. With the discovery OF gold
in the United States in 1S49, and a
little later in Australia, the world S
production OF gold Increased ten
fold the annual output of gold mines
ranging above 100 millions per an
aum from 1850 to 1890. In 1898
the production passed the $50 mil
lion line; in 1894 it was 1S1 mill
ions; and in 1896 202 millions.
From that time forward the growth
was still more rapid, crossing the
800 million line in 1899, and ex-
ceeding 400 millions in 1906, 41O
millions in 1907, and 427 millions
in 1908. AS result OF this rapid
growth in production in recent years
the gold output Of the worlds mines
during the 10 years ending with
| 1908 aggregated, according to the
figures in question, 3,400 million
| dollars; while the product of the
immediate preceding 10 years az.
gregated 2.400 millions, making s
total of nearly billion dollars
worth of gold produced In the last
20 years, out OF total production
of 13 billions since the discovery
of America.
Considering it's distribution by
countries. the United States has q
greater supply OF gold money than
any other country, the figures being
according to this table: United
States, 1913 millions; Germany, l..
O44 millions; France, 926 millions
Russia, 917 millions; United King.
dom, sos millions: Austria-Hungary
3O3 millions; Italy, 25S millions:
Australia, 159 millions; Egypt, lac
millions; Argentina, 40 millions;
Turkey 1872 millions; India, 113
millions; Japan, SO millions; Canada
sc millions; and Brazil, 81 millions

AS to what use is being made oil
that portion Of the worlds gold not
utilized as currency or as a basis

which he estimates the worlds con
sumption OF gold in the arts ami in

Woodland Protection

There are two ways you and can help protect our woodland which con- serves the water that nourishes the crops, that feed the mill, that make America g industrial wheels go around:
 First-Cast your vote for man, whether for State or national office, who is indepeudentlo of the "Interests'; and don't wait until the situation has reached the stage where it is the lesser of two evils, but go to the primaries where the nominations are mede-and work. Don't be one of those inactive "good" men who have no other recommendation for State service than that they are "God- fearing' Fear of God makes for use ful citizenship only when it is coupled W ith courage to fight-for the Church, for the State, for the Right-your right, which is the right of the people. You can't unseat the politician who ignores that right except by determined and continuous assault.
 Second-Put out your campfire when you start on your days tramp in the morning, and be sure it is out. Stamp on the smouldering coals and cover them with dirt. lest passing breeze fan them into devastating life after you have gone on your way. Throw no matches on to the ground without having blown out the flame and even brushed off and killed the ember end.
 Thus shall we do our duty to our State. and save our business interests thousands upon thousands of dollars Casper Whitney in Golfers.
