The following is taken from the
United States geological survey
press bulletin which reached this
office yesterday, and is relative to-
the mineral output of Nevada for
the year 1909:
There was a material increase in
gold production in Nevada in 1903,
but a decrease in silver output is
indicated by preliminary estimates
of the director of the mint. The
increase in 1908 over 1907 was
not SO great as was expected. hav-
ing been less than 100000, but
during the latter part of 1908 and
in 1909 the reduction facilities OF
the state were materially augment
ed, with the result that much more
ore is now being treated. The av-
erage grade of the ore, however, is
less than when it was sorted and
only the nigher grades were ship
ped The output in quantity oil
both siliceous and copper ores Is
steadily on the increase in NeVa'
da. The average value per ton In
gold and silver of the ores treated
at mills is now about $13 and o.
that shipped to smalters about
$44.
There was no great excitemen
from the discovery of new gol'
fields in 1909, though there ha
been increased activity in the old

GROCER DROPS DEAD.
George K. Thorne Collapses While
Making Some Purchases.

George K. Thorne, who was in the
grocery business at 1000 1 street north
east, dropped dead this morning about 8
o'clock while making purchases at the
store of E. v. Owens. 93l1s B street
northwest. His death, it is thought. re-
suited from an attack Of heart disease.
The deceased was twenty-eight years
old. His wife survives him. He was a
native Of Virginia. his parents residing
near Falls Church.
Coroner hewitt gave certificate of
death from natural causes.
Because of an error in transmitting the
message to the Emergency Hospital for
assistance there was a delay Of several
minutes In reaching the store. DR.. New
ton was told that the ambulance was
wanted on B street southwest and when
he went there he found no such number
as that mentioned. Hurrying TO tele-
phone. DR.. Newton called up the hospital
and was tod that a second message had
been received giving the B street north
west address and he hurried through the
park to Mr.. Owens store.
A second ambulance was started toward
the store when the proper location was
given, but DIR. Newton reached there
ahead OF the other vehicle Mr.. Thorne
was dead when the physicians arrived.
1.-THE second message, DIR. Newton
stated. was sent by the police, and they
seldom make a mistake in locations. The
delay was not more than three minutes,
and IL had no bearing on the effort to
save the man who died, as he had un-
doubtedly been dead mere than three
minutes"

To any one on the moon observing the

rounded by narrow ring of sunlight,
colored with the same hues that tinge a
sunset, but with double power, because
the light has traversed a double thickness
of the earths atmosphere.
The spectator on the moon would see
a glow at every point OIL the edge of

THE CHAIR OF POLITICS
Writes Letter to Princeton
Class Announcing His
Retirement.

PRINCETON. N. j.. November 16.-A
letter was made public here today from
Woodrow Wilson, governor-elect of New
Jersey, in which he announces that he
had decided to resign as professor Of pol
tics and Jurisprudence in Princeton Uni
versity, and thereby severing all connec-
ton with the teaching body OF the in
stitution. Since DR.. Wilson's election to
the governorship there has been some
doubt as to whether he would retain his
Mccormick professorship in the univer-
sity.
DR.. Wilson has gone to the middle west
for a short rest. Before he left he was
petitioned by his Jurisprudence class to
continue his lectures. DR.. wilson's let

friends says:

my lectures in Jurisprudence has given

1t were possible to comply with it. I
feel, however, that even II it were posi-
Bile for me to continue my lecture my
time would be so broken In upon, my
service in the classroom so irregular and
that 1t would be of no ad-
to you, and I should myself be
mortified to have the thing badly done.
Il have thought it my duty to resign
not only the presidency OF the univer-
sity, but my p.ofessorship also, though
by misunderstanding it was not so in
terpreted at the last meeting of the
board, and therefore I have to reply to
your generous request that / am no
longer connected with the teaching body
Of the university which I have so long
loved and served"

Secretary Wilson's Views.

Shortage in hay crops and grass on the
western range is responsible for the re-
cent drop In the cost of meats, accord
ing to Secretary of Agriculture Wilson.
The drought which cost the United States
millions of dollars in public and private
timber in the forest fires of last sum-
mer burned the grass of the range. dried
up half-ripened hay and as a result is
forcing cattlemen, sheepmen and farm
ers to break the market by the sudden
influx of grass-fed stock
The Secretary of Agriculture, however,
holds out fresh hope for the meat buyer.
lie says VIII lie the present decline is not
due to the bumper crops of 1910, the In
creased grain supply will inforce low
ering of meat prices before long, though
he does not anticipate any startling break
in the market for sheep, hogs or beef.
The crops just gathered" said Mr..
Wilson, have been the largest in the
history of the country. The increased
decline in the price of meats. though
not in the immediate future. The present
decline is caused by the flooding of the
market with beef and sheep from the
range because shippers cannot afford to
buy hay for them.
Hay Is very high, as the drought last
summer burned up much Of the crop.
Cattle and sheep men were forced to
bring their stock in from the range
early. as there was practically no grass.
The decline in the market caused by this
sudden influx of stock probably will not
last long. but later meat should drop
because Of the decline in the prices OF
corn. oats and wheat"

CHICAGO. November 16.-Robert E.
Wilson Of Chicago, recently reelected as
a state representative. was indicted again
by the grand jury today.
The indictment against Wilson is an
amplification of the old charge Of per-
Jury upon which he was previously in
dicted. 1t is based upon the same testi-
mony that he gave before the May grand
jury when he denied having been present
at the distribution OF an alleged Jack
pot at the Southern Hotel in st. Louis,
July 10. 1909. The old indictment was be-
lieved by the state to be insufficient.

TOD|SPOSAL.0F SEWAGE
Superintendent Replies to Crit
icism and Says Work Is
Making Progress.

Stirring up the subject of the sewage
from the Jail, workhouse and smallpox
hospital on reservation 13 will not hasten
the abatement Of the nuisance, according
to Asa E. Phillips, superintendent Of sew
ers. He was speaking Of the letter Of
protest and the resolutions from the East
Washington Citizens Association. The
sewage from the Jail and hospital
and some other buildings on reservation
Is, flows In large part into the Anacostia
river, and will some day be taken into the
general sewer system. which ends at the
District pumping station. Work is being
done almost daily toward completion OF
plans and estimates for the complete
abatement Of the nuisance
Protest Filed by T. W. Smith.
Following a recent meeting of the as
ISOLATION when resolutions were adopted
regarding this sewer condition, letter of
protest was sent to the District building
by Thomas W. Smith, president of the as
ISOLATION.
Mr.. Phillips said of the matter today:
Il had that matter up with the associa-
ton before the meeting was held and
showed them exactly how we are work
ing to abate the nuisance. The matter
Is a most complicated one. The sewage
from reservation Ii runs into the river
to great extent, and this is undoubtedly
not the best state Of affairs. But some of
the buildings there were under control Of
the Attorney General, some under the
board of charities and the Smallpox Hos
pital is under the health office. In order
to tear out the old sewer system and i'm
stall an entirely new one. these three
sides to the question had to be approach
ed. 1t was not an easy matter to get
each of the three parties to put UP the
money.
Reduction in the Flow.
AS it is. the flow has been reduced by
a large fraction. We have the matter en-
tirely in hand and eventually all that
flow Of sewage will 90 by the east side
anterceptor into the pumping station.
Also. we are studying the matter OF dis
infection for that area In other words
the matter Is not asleep. It does not
seem to be one that needs stirring up. for
1t has never been dormant
unfortunately the District has seventy
square mics Of trritory and sewer work
has to be carried on in all Of 1t. If there
was only reservation Ii to look after. it
might be easier"
