devotng almost it's entire energies toward esavng in coa
mines and has not given the meaerous fields attention The
fesavng organization work is well under way the coal
regions and attention will be turned westward to the metal
mines
For years past the meaIerous mining industry of
the west has not kept pace with the development of other lines
Of enterprise Under the stimulating effect of federal aid the
average annual valuations of agricultural products of the pub
lie land states has increased from $96600000 in 1901 ST.
365O00000 in 1910 During the years the average pro

from $l360OO000 to $127000000 With few rare excep-
tons the population of all western mining camps has decreased
and in instances low grade camps have been entirely
