BILLIONS OF STAMPS
PRINTED BY THE GOVERNMENT

reports of the bureau of engraving
and printing, when taken as a manu-
factory, show some astonishing figures.
Take, for instance, the single item of
postage stamps; that is, without the
revenue and customs, which, by the
bureaus own classification, fall under
a separate head There are fifty-one
kinds and denominations printed,
ranging from the little green, one
cent stamp up to its stately, aristo-
cratic brother which staggers under a
five-dollar valuation. Also, fifteen col
ors are used in printing the stamps.
pause here for reflection will prob
lbly convince the most observant per-
son that he is unfamiliar with several
of these colors; that is, of course. in
onnection with stamps. We all know
the one, two, five and ten cent stamps.
But to be able to call to mind just
what those fifteen colors are means a
wide observation as well as careful
one. For the benefit of those who fail
to solve this self-appointed riddle, the
answer is this Four shades of blue
two of green and two of brown, red
yellow, olive, orange, purple, lavender
and dark slate.
The stamps which leave the bureau
annually amount to more than 10000
900 900, the latest yearly report show
! ing the number to be l0,003 .265, ,l48.--

WHEN THE PANAMA CANAL
rs OPEN FOR BUSINESS

Many countries are considering the
possibilities for commercial expansion
bv use of the Panama canal. Experts
everywhere are busy chartin~ the
courses which steamers must traverse
to land freight from oee hemisphere
to the other A leading question
among nations is, who will profit the
most commercially To estimate prof
its the matter of long or short voy-
ages needs careful consideration. The
canal reduces the distances almost one
half in many instances.
The United States, in th eopinion of
most experts, should reap the largest
benefits from this $400,000,000 water
way. Grain, lumber and other COM
modities from the Pacific coast can be
sent quickly through the canal to
Europe, southern products to Oriental
countries and eastern goods to South
America. The coastwise traffic of the
United States should be increased
enormously.
1t is obvious that the first great
increased in the commerce Of the Unit
ed States should come from trading
with our closest neighbors in South
America. European and Oriental
countries will be largely benefited

are enterprissng will reap the largest

INCREASE IN OUT
PUT OF PLATINUM

California and Oregon produced all
the platinum which was mined in the
United States in 1911, and this, as
shown by Waldemar Lindgren, Of the
United States Geological Survey, in
an advance chapter from Mineral
Resources for 1911 was $8,631 great
er in value than the output for 1910.
The following is statement of pro-
duction in troy ounces and the values
for the two years:
California-l910, 337 ounces, valued
at 1886; 1911, 511 ounces, valued at
$14,S73. ~
Oregon--l91O, So ounces, valued at
$1,l21; 1911 III ounces, valued at
1926.
The average price paid for pIati.
mum in 1911 was $2S.87 an ounce, cem-
pared with $24.38 in 1910, the higher
price undoubtedly resulting in an in
creased production.
Importations in 1911 of crude plati-
mum sands resulted in an estimated re-
fined product of 27,50O ounces, nearly
four times the domestic production.
An additional amount was derived
from imported ores and matte 80 that
the total quantity of refined platinum
produced in domestic refineries is es-
timated by Mr.. Lindgren at approx
mately 80, 140 fine ounces, of which
about $40 ounces, valued at SAC, 800,
was derived from domestic sources of
various kinds-platinum sands, copper
and gold bullion, etc. The correspond
ing estimate for 1910 was 773 ounces,
valued at $25,277.
The platinum imported and entered
for consumption in the United States
in 1911, including ores and manufac-
tured products, was valued at 1885,
207, an increase over the 1910 figures
of $1,212,543. The exports amounted
to only $3.50.
The worlds production of platinum
in 1911 was 314,323 troy opnces, COM
pared with 286,952 ounces in 1910.
Mr.. Lindgren' report OF platinum
contains an interesting discussion of
the platinum bearing minerals, the
uses of the metal, its sources in the
United States and the possibility Of
new discoveries. It also contains notes
on the other platinum metals such as
iridium and palladium. A co Of the
report may be obtained free upon ap-
plication to the Director, United

STAUNION. CARRIES OFF
HONORS AT TOURNAMENT

The prize given by GEORGE Wingfeld
for the highest average made at the
shooting tournament held under the
direction of the Reno Target club at
Moana Springs Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, was by far the finest prize
in the tournament. 1t is gold match
safe with large diamond setting and
on the reverse side is engraved the
name of the winner, Ed Staunton,
what the prize was given tor, when
and what the average was.
Staunton won this prize by shoot
ing 442 clay pigeons out of a possible
465 in three days shooting. He also
won the Overland trophy, beautiful
cup of FURNISHED copper supported by
standards of silver. This cup was won
by shooting 80 consecutive birds with
out miss. He did this in the regular
contest, but later shot la without q
miss. The third prize won by Staun-
ton was given by the Marmont Jew
elry company and was for the state
championship.
Staunton, the Stall brothers and
Sage intend to shoot at Portland and
later will compete with the marksmen
at Sacramento for some valuable
prizes.-Gazette.
