prosperity of the gold, copper and lead
 mining industries. there was an output
 of silver in 1911 estimated at 51796.Il7
 fine ounces. which is 2,12,937 ounces
 more than the average annual output
 of 55,61S,120 ounces of the preceding decade and 65S21 ounces more than
 the output Of 1910. Aside from the
 important production from the milling Of the silver gold ores of the mines at TonOpah. Nev.. the bulk of ;he silver output is derived from the smelting Of crude copper, lead and mixed ores and concentrates, chiefly from Montana, Utah, Colorado. Idaho and Arizona and California. According to the Mint fig ureS, the production increased from all these states except Montana. Ari- zona and Colorado. In Colorado the production of all metals except zinc decreased. Increased copper nroduc- ton in Alaska added notably to the silver output of that territory. FFinal figures will probably show increased rroductiOn of silver from Arizona in

USE OF METALS.

few years ago such metals as tungsten, vanadium, silicon, tantalum and many other rare and costly metals were unknown outside of sci | entific circles. but now We are all familiar with tungsten lamps, which have revOlutionized the lighting world. of vanadium steel which had made possible the automobile, and we are quite well acquainted with other new metals, once so rare and unknown. Only a few years ago many of these new metals were deemed worthless
 Their value in the commercial world remained undiscovered and the ores were not mined. In Colorado the miners used to throw away what they called black jack but now they are searching the dump heaps to collect this valuable ore because they recognize it as Wolfrante or tungsten ore. Tungsten leaped into prominence 9 few years ago when 1t was first used for filaments in in candescent electric lamps. It was found that the new metal could be used in place of carbon for the lamp filaments, giving three times the light of the old lamps for the same amount of current, and this new light was almost pure white instead of an or ange-red color. Tungsten has also many other valuable uses. In the form of sodium tungsten d fire proof
 ing of value is produced. Tungsten brought joy to the heart of the house. wife in that it fixes dyes so that wash goods will wash. Silk mer-
 -tar, salts added weight to silk.
 Tungsten steel is extremely tGlgh. Projectiles made from it have pene- trated through 14 inches of the best armor plate. Tungsten compass needles are the best on the market.
 Tungsten is now mixed in Arizona, California, Nevada, Montana, Idaho and Colorado. which produce 60 per cent of the output. The tungsten belt in Colorado is three miles long and eight miles wide. The market for tungsten has become almost as staple as that for copper, zinc and lead.
 A possible rival of tungsten is metal discovered in l77S, but as yet found in such scant quantities that the uncertainty of the supply makes it commercially second to tungsten.
 Though tantalum has been known for century, it was not commer- cially useful until Moissan in 1903 brought it into the limelight through the electric furnace. It was found in the Black Hills of Dakota. The I most important use to which tanta- Ium is put is in the manufacture or filaments for incandescent lamps.

They say their books are open always to any stockhOlder for a legitimate in spection.

THE CITY OF LONDON.

The noontide sun is beating fiercely down upon a curious survival from the eighteenth century that has somehow got a part of the nineteenth, and even litle of the twentieth century. graft cd into its original substance. as fresh, green boughs are grlfted into the black, gnarled, tortured and twist cd parent stem of an ancient vine. The streets are narrow and crooked. The tall houses are not so much hous- es as a series of superstructures piled in layers, at haphazard, one upon the other The upper stories, with their roof trees thrusting through the slow ly uprising smoke and rock and dust into a cats cradle Of wires, seem to nod toward one another fantastically and to threaten to collapse of their own top-heaviness and to mingle in common destruction, like castles of cards. Down below there is d cease less stir of human and vehicular traf- fife, and nasal hammering and thum- ming like the swarming of bees. The narrow, crooked ways are thickly congested with carts and wagons and conVeyanceS of every sort and shape and size. The pavements are mOttled drab and white with the somber garb and the straw hats of the feverish hordes of preoccupied folk that jostle and hustle and squirm and dodge and squirt and halt and dance in frenzy of impatience IS they strive through the press, or seem to crawl over the burning flags like so many slugs.
 There are a few roads cleaving through the maze of alleys that would rank as broad roads in any collection of buildings planned on less gigantic scale and here and there is lonely tree bravely enduring, or an irregular patch of greenness that is dubiously suggestive of the reflection of yer nal upper world dimly glmpsed at the bottom of well.
 If we descend into this welter, we find ourselves in the midst of noise and tumult and fuss and muddle-a muddle of coarse things and fine, com- mon things. and rare incongruously iunbled together-as if a shapeless lump of putty were studded with pre- cious gems-such as no other capital in the WOrld IS indSlllllCehI tiouSH '0 display with such self-scorninS prod igality and such entirely simple and sincere lack of ostentation.

 His experiment. reminds one Of those that have been conducted spectacular Iy by the mayor of Indianapolis. Sales of the sort serve to illustrate teh diff ference between the prices received by the producer and those paid by the consumer, but they are of little prac- tical value toward solving the cost of living problem.
