FURNISHES GREAT TONNAGE.
Mining Provides More Than All the
Other Industries Combined.

The published volume containing
The proceedings of the Eleventh An
nnal Session of the American Min
ing Congress, held at Pittsbprg, Pa,
last December has Just been received
and contains many articles of inter-
est to the mining fraternity. Among
the addresses delivered was one by
Edward II. Hartman. Americas rail
road king.
Mr.. Hartman gives some interest
ing facts concerning the tonnage of
freight hauled by railroads, showing
that the crude products of the mines
furnished 53 per cent of the total
freight tonnage handled by the rail-
roads of this country during the year
ending June 80. 1906. while the man
ufactured products of the mines fur
nished an additional II per cent; SO
that the mineral products furnished
for that year Ga per cent of the total
amount of freight carried by the rail-
roads
During the same year the products
Of the forests furnished 1 per cent
of the total; agricultural products
per cent and manufactures other
than from mines products 4 per cent
which comparison brings out very
clearly the overwhelming magnitude
of the mining industry.
Mr.. Hartman stated that the
miner and the railroad builder were
the two great advance agents which
made possible the immense indus
trial development which has occurred
between the Alleghenies and the Pa
eific cost during the last sixty years.
President Taft, expressed his de-
sire TO assist in every possible way
the development of mining. stating
that the mining industry had grown
10 such proportions that 1t was des-
CRYING of all the assistance which the
government could bestow upon IT,
Senator Charles Dick of Ohio. was
another of the speakers who fully APP
preciated the Importance and magni-
tude of our eountry's mining inter
ests, and in an able address pointed
out the necessity that existed for the
creation of a bureau of mines by the
government Mr.. Dick has been the
champion of this bill in the senate
for several years.
One OF the most widely discussed
was conservation in mining. both as
regards material resources. and that
more important factor, human life.

there should be little pay. Aside
from these features, the meeting was
principally given to routine business,
of which much was transacted
A full board was present CHIEF
Reeves rendered his resignation from
the fire department. lie thanked the
council for the many courtesies
shown the department by the mem
bers of the board. Mayor Clark
thanked Mr.. Reeves for his work as
fire chief
Rev. G. c. Hunting, of the ceme-
terry committee, stated that General
Manager Smith, of the Townsite Co.
had agreed to making the site ~
acres instead OF 10. The committee
was considering matters pertaining to
the proposed cemetery and asked for
additional time. Granted.
The following bills We're allowed:
New hose cart, $424.75; Nevada

rink and Richard fires. sS5; Joseph

Councilman Root made suggestions
concerning the water supply, which
he said would greatly improve the
fire pressure. Gael 5. Hoag recon-
mended that a chemical engine be
purchased. The council took kindly
to the idea and referred the matter
TO the fire committee with power TO
act. The engine suggested by Mr..
Hoag will cost $3.50 in Ely.
The mayor said he had heard ru-
mors about tampering with hose and
asked firemen present about it. Bert
Brown had heard that the hose on
one of the carts had been run
through the spokes of the cart but
he did not know as to whether this
was true He suggested that the
council order some shut off nozzles
saving they would be of great value
at interior fires, preventing much
damage. The matter of outsiders
getting in the way of firemen was
discussed.
For opening Clark street through
to the depot the city engineer was in
structed TO make surveys and the
clerk 10 advertise for bids. A eerti-
fed check for Slo0 must accompany
bids.
The mayor had read where armed
men patroled the town Tuesday
night. lie said the city marshal or
officers should arrest all found with
guns and no permits 1t looked al
most rs il the mayor might want a
fire.
The clerk was instructed to adj
vertise for bids for sprinkling from
May | to October l. 10 hours a day,
the contractor to keep wagon in re-
pair.
An ordinance regulating exits from
public buildings was placed on sec
ond reading.
An ordinance repeating ordinance
"a, fixing fees of city engineer, was
put on second reading.
Councilman Root introduced an
ordinance covering the salaries of
city officials. Councilman Hoffman
offered an amendment. 1t was read
second time by title and referred
to committee on public improve
ments. After the amendment had
been made the mayor told of work
done by the different members of

man reviewed passing column which
was replete with martial splendor and
picturesque with civic display.
Roosevelt Says Farewell.
Following the brilliant and impress
sive ceremonies in the senate, during
which both president and vice presi-
dent took the oath Of office, President
Roosevelt, again a private citizen,
babe an affectionate adieu to his sue
cessor while all in the historic cham
Der looked on in silence, and then
hurried away through a side door to
take a train for New York. AS he
passed out Of the chamber Mr.. Roose-
welt was given an ovation quite the
equal to that rendered to the new
president. Outside the capitol the re-
firing chief executive was met by
800 members of the New York county
committee, and under their escort
was driven to the union station.
Ball Is Brilliant Affair.
President and Mrs. Taft were the
centers of interest at the ball in the
pension building. The scene in the
cavernous building, which had been
transformed into canopied court of
ivory and white, was another of the
brilliant pictures which are quadren-
nially painted here by the gathering
OF a vast and brilliant assemblage
from every section Of the country.

tors.
This ceremony completed, and with
out further ceremony of any sort,
Vice President Sherman announced:
THE chief justice will now admins
ter the oath Of Office to the presi-
dent-elect."
Taft Is Sworn In.
The sudden announcement came as
a surprise and a solemn hush fell
upon the assemblage. Mr.. Taft arose,
took the arm of Senator Knox, chair
man Of the joint committee on ar
engagements and premier in his cabi-
net, and walked around to a position
in the rear Of the presiding officers
desk. He was followed by Chief JUS
tice Fuller, who was officiating for the
fifth time at this historic quadriennial
ceremony
Mr.. Taft took up a position facing
the members of his family, grouped in
the gallery. The chief justice began
the administration Of the oath in a
low tone. AS he paused at the end
Of each phrase Mr.. Taft caught up his
words and repeated them in a slow,
distinct voice, which carried impress
sively to the farthest recesses of the
chamber. When he at last kissed the
Bible there was an outburst of ap-
plause, grasp Of the hand by the
chief justice and President Taft be-
gan Immediately the enunciation of
the policies of his administration in
an inaugural address.

the United States.
Accompanied to the capitol by

A sudden blizzard sweeping in from
the Northwest Wednesday night, to

SAYS rwlNE PLANT WILL LOSE.
Prison Project in Wisconsin Assaiied,

Prison Project in Wisconsin Assasieo'
Thouuht Successful in Minnesota.
Vigorous opposition has developed
to the continuation Of the state twtne
plant, now under construction at the
state prison at Waupun. The appro-
priation of $125,000, given by the leg
islature two years ago, has been spent
in the construction of the building,
and now the legislature is asked to
appropriate 100000 more to provide
machinery and material.
The most conspicuous form this op-
position has taken is found in an ed1-
torial in the current issue of the
American Thresherman, published in
Madison, whose editor, B. B. Clarke,
has written in his characteristic style
a philippe which has been distributed
to every member of the legislature.
Editor Clarke presents the results
of an investigation of the Indiana
prison factory. He says that Of last
years output of 100000 pounds. one
third was marketed in North Dakota
at Z IL cents a pound, or $4,000. ct
requires an outlay of at least 100000
for machinery and buildings, possibly
double or treble this sum-" says the
editorial. eff we add to this another
100000 for cost of fiber, one can be-
gin to form some idea of what 1t has
cost the State of Indiana to engage
in the making of prison Irvine to sup
ply the farmers of North Dakota at
perhaps IL or 2 cents pound less
than anybody else could afford to do.
Wonderful business proposition, isn't
it?
There are in Indiana between 1900
and 1000 dealers in farm machinery,
all taxpayers, whose money helped to
build this prison Irvine mill, and for
this they must meet in direct competi-
tion in the field Irvine made by prison
labor, to take away part Of their rev.
enues. And this is politics, and pris-
on stripes used to sandbag taxpayers,
that politicians may tell the farmers
what is being done for them and how
the legislators love them!
Outside of Minnesota, no prison
Irvine factory has made a business
showing that could not be discounted
by private enterprise, even though the
labor is prison labor, and until a state
ment can be secured from Warden
Wolfer of the Minnesota state prison
covering every detail even
the claims of prison Irvine profits
should be discounted
