HEIR IN GERMANY
 SECURES PRICE RESIDUE
(From Fridays Daily.)

After n correspondence of several months m which a voluminous mass of manuscript and exhibits certified by the president of the royal Prussian court of common pleas. the heirship of Angelika Katharina Niencyzk, nee An gelika Gathnrina i'reuss, to Charles Price. who died in Congress, May 3l 1907. was established in the probate cour, yesterday and certificate is sued declaring her entitled to in, funds of the estate in the sum of si6G.21, now in the county treasury An order was issued to her attorneys Ross and O'Sullivan, to withdraw the funds from the treasury for theii client.
 After the death of Price, G. c. En gebart of Congress was appointed ad ministrator of the estate. He failed to find any history of Price or his family and at the final settlement the residue of the estate in the above amount was paid into the county treas ury as provided by law.
 Subsequently military passport, written in German, was found among Ptice's effects. It was forwarded to the German consul in Denver, Cobra do. From data found in the passport the consul established the identity of Price as Karl Pruess, who was married to Juliamcna Preuss July s, 1878, in Stcuben, Prussia. Angelika Kathari. na. the only issue to the marriage, was born Nov. j, 1880. Preuss, known here as Price, emigrated to the United tSates in August, 1881. A divorce was granted his wife in December, 1891, ten years after he left Prussia. Let. ters written by Preuss to his daught. ter and n photograph were found in the daughters possession in Prussia, clearly establishing her and his iden' tity.
 The probate court held yesterday that any marriage contracted by Price or Preuss prior to 1891 was illegal and any issue of such marriage not enti- tied 10 any share of his estate against his daughter, Angelika Katharina, and no evidence appearing that Preuss or Price had been married since Decem Der i5, 1891, Angelika Katharina was declared his lawful heir and certifi cate granted awarding her the residue of the estate.
 Price or Preuss resided in Congress four years prior to his death. He was of retiring disposition and never in. formed anyone of his history or idcn- tity. He was blacksmith by oeeupa- ton.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 3l.-The total production of gold and silver in the United States in 1907, according to figures published by the United States Geological Survey as the result of con ference and adjustment between that bureau and the Bureau of the Mint, was valued 27,735,4OO.
 The total production of gold for the year was 4.37i,s27 fine ounces, valued at s90, ,i3j. .700-a decrease, when com pared with the production in 1906, of l9O. JOG fine ounces, worth S3,93s 100.
 The production of silver in 1907 amounted to j6,5l4,700 fine ounces, with n commercial value of s37 ,290, zoo. As compared with the production in 1906 this is a decrease in quantity of 32OO fine ounces and in value of $9j6,. 700.
 Production by States and Territories.
 The following tables show the pro duction of gold and silver in the Unit eu Dttl's LII bv'f iIuh h'h''''' N'''' by states and territories. These tables are based on data collected by the Bureau of Mint in regard to bullion deposits in the United States hints and rxsay offices on statements from the smelting and refining establish ments; the distribution by states IS also checked and verified by the data collected by the Geological Survey di' rectly from the producing mines. The tables are derived from three items CD the unrefned domestic gold and sill yer deposited in the United States hints and assay offices; (2) the domes- tic gold and silver in fine bars report. ed by the private refneries; (3) the unreGned domestic gold and silver, contained in ores, copper, matte, etc, exported for reduction. The last is an item of relatively small importance. Production of gold and silver in the

.DR. RICKETTS, LAYS PLANS ID FIGHT COMBINE
First Move of Assault Is to Build Smeltep
 For Utah Con.
urom Saturdays Daiiy)

The purpose of the present eastern visit of Dr. l.. D. Rickctts, general manager of the Greepc.Cananea com. pany, is nothing more or less than nc. tive participation in the preliminary arrangements for the formation of the big smelting rival of the American Smelling company. which is to be con. trolled by the Colc.Ryan interests, which acquired the Greene Cananea al most two years ago.
 Whether or not there will be any connection between this company and he new concern is not known, but among mining men it is believed that Dr. Ricketts will be one of the execu tive officials of the new company. Tae first move of the trusts rival will be the erection of shelter for the Utah Consolidated Company which had disagreement with the American Smelling Company over smclting charges. U. II. Brougbton, nephew of II. II. Rogers, the Standard Oil magnate, is in charge of the Utah Con. soldated, and Rogers, together with o;ner prominent stockholders of the Amelgamated and the United states Steel Corporation, will be interested in the new smclter project.
 According 10 New York advices, the construction of shelter for treating inc ores of the Utah Consolidated will be the first of group of smelters which will be erected in the United States and Mexico, regardless of tho location of existing reduction works and it is planned Co enter into active competition with the smeltcr trust John D. Ryan and others interested in the project have been holding meet ings for several days in New York and some definite plans will probably be made public very soon. Superin tendcnt Mathewson of the Washoe smclter of the Anaconda company of Butte has also been in consultation with Ryan, Thomas Cole and Dr. Rick. etts.
 IL is believed in mining and smelt- ing circles that the new project will lead to an important revision of exist ing custom smelting charges, both in the United States and Mexico and further information concerning the plans of the new company are eagerly awaited in tnis section of the country.
 The formation of this new company will bring into cooperation with the proposed new rival of the American Smelling company n large number of the producers fo copper, both in this country and elsewhere, particularly in Mexico, whose aggregate production of copper represents n majority of the to- tal outpu, of this metal. These pro. ducers are said to he thoroughly in sympathy with the new movement, as they hope to he able to obtain better terms than they have in the past. The close connection of the Cole. Ryan interests to the Greene Cananea Copper Company assures to the new company, it is asserted, the best avail. able technical advice in reference to the construction and operation of new smelting plants, while the financial af filations of this group, it is said, will assure it ample backing to carry out the comprehensive plans which is now being worked out
