AFTER INDIAN TRIBAL SONGS
Woman Agent Of Government is No
Novice in Gathering and Pre-

Bralnerd. Minn.-As agent Of the
bureau of ethnology at Washington.
Miss Frances Densmore passed
through the city on her way to tho
Leech lake Indian reservation. where
she will make a special study OF tho
music Of the Chippewas, submitting
her report on the Chippewas. having
visited the Red Lake. Mile Lacs and.
other reservations.
Several hundred of the tribal songs
have been recorded on the phono-
graph and sent to the Smithsonian
Institution for preservation and ref
erence.
Miss Densmore has taken these rec
ords. transcribed them in plano score
and analyzed them scientifically She
has also made a study of Filipino
music. and thinks the Chippewa music
is of a high grade and most excellent,
occupying a higher plane than the
few tones embraced in the music
originating in our island possessions.
The voice OF one of the leading
chiefs of the northern Chlppewas,
Gemi- -Urinac, is preserved in phono-
graph record at Washington.
or special interest to Miss Dens-
more will be the Indian celebration
at the Leech lake agency. One OF the
features furnishing her with rich ma
terial for study will be the war and
squaw dances of the Chippewas.

MUCH GOLD IS LOST
Large Amount Of Last Years
Production Disappears.
More Than 1900 Tons Of Precious
Metal Minced Last Year, Accord.
Ing to British Home Office
American Miners Expert.

London-More than 1900 tons OF
gold were mined last year, according
to the British homo office. Much OF
this precious metal has already van
ished as completely as though 1t had
never been taken from the ground.
What becomes OF all the gold is one
OF the perpetual mysteries which no
government ever has been able TO
solve. Enormous amounts are sup
posed to be hidden. or buried. in the
various countries. Lluch OF the gold
turned into jewelry is practically lost
to general observation. The rich and
the noble put away their most prec-
ious gems for state occasions. They
are scarcely ever seen by the public.
The gold used in decorating the pal
aces of the world Is virtually lost to
the general view. Even the gold Ia
ken by the banks and bankers as their
coin reserves is often hidden I'm vaults
for years.
The gold mined last year Is valued
at S450.000.000 The British empire
supplied 60 per cent. OF the output. OF
this proportion. one-third came from
the Transvaal and 10 per cent from
Australia. The United States gold
mines turned out % per cent. OF the
total production.
The civilized nations OF the world
are now burning up about billion
tons of coal year. says the British
home office. More than a million tons
in addition is wasted in the operation
OF mining, so that the store of black
diamonds" is being used at a rate
which may bring about the extinction
OF the visible supply in the present
! century.
The United States is still the great
est coal producer-her mines contrib
uting one-third of the total supply.
Great Britain is next and Germany is
third. Then come. in order. the Aus
tro-Hungarian empire. France. Russia
and Belgium. Almost three million
persons are engaged in mining coal.

all other kinds OF mining and quarry.

work in Great Britain.
In iron, as In coal, the United
States is still ahead OF all the rest of
the world as producer. with an out.
put of 100000 to 26,000 900 tons a
year. The German empire stands
second. Great Britain third and Spain
fourth. with 100000 tons.
America leads, too. in the highest
proportion OF loss of life from acct
dents in mines and quarries-3.42 a
thousand persons employed The low
est rate is in France, 0.95 a thousand
employees. 1t is a curious fact that
while Great Britain mines only two
thirds as much coal as the United
States-20G, 900, 1000 tons. as against
377.000.OOO tons-the-e are $4,000
