The eager lines in the old mans face
smoothed out into an expression of In

smoked silently until 1t was quite out.
As he finished 1t and looked up again
he caught something in the boys ex-

CEMENT AGED, BUT GROWING.
Industry, of Old Rome, Shows Wonderful
Development in Recent Years.

The announcement that II Cement EXIT
bition Will be held in Madison Square Gar
den from Jan. 80 to Feb. 3, call attention
anew to the recent rapid growth Of the in
dustry, which is as old as the Roman EN-
pire. The Cement World, in its last issue,
says:
"The output of Portland cement in the
United States has multiplied itself nearly
ten times i'll as many years, a truly marvel
lous growth. The greatest single gain was
IN 1906, when the production increased over
100000 barrels, and it's valuation $40 0.
600 over the preceding year. Within a pei
iod of five years, ending III 1908 The produc-
ton was more than doubled, the increase in
valuation being proportionato. The output
during the last four years alone Of this per
iod exceeded by nearly Is, 000, 600 barrels
the entire production credited to the thirty
years preceding; and the valuation Of the
product for the same period was over $780,
OO0, 600 i'll excess Of the value Of the entire
production from 1870 to 1904"
The future of cement, the article says, is
immense, and the possible future develop
ments of the industry as yet unguesaed.-

WEST INDIAN L

Messrs. WolstenhoIme and Holland, of
Liverpool write as follows. under date De-
cember 80, with reference to the sales of
West Indian Sea Island cotton -
Since our last report, about $50 bales of
West Indian Sea Islands have been sold,
chiefly ST. Vincent and Montserrat, from
1 ~. to 1871, st. Croix at 15l, and q few
st. Vincent at POD.
The market remains steady, in view of the
fact that Carolina Sea Islands are a bad crop
this year, both III quantity and quality.
The report Of Messrs. Henry w. Frost 4
Co., on Sea Island cotton in the Southern
States, for the week ending December 30, is
as follows:-
There was a demand for the limited offer
mgs, which consisted principally Of cotton
more or less off in preparation. The supply
Of the better grades, Fully Fine and Extra
Fine, is very small, and has been largely dis
posed Of.
The crop has been nearly all marketed,
therefore the receipts from now on will be
very small.
There is in stock about 1908 bales old
crop cotton, which is being held by the own
ers in expectation of higher prices later on.

THE DOMINICA LIME TN ENGLAND

Success IS attending an experiment de-
signed TO secure for the Dominica lime, one
of the fruits grown within the Empire which
Is little known III this country, Il share Of the
popularity enjoye in the United Kingdom
by the lemon. 1t is claimed that this pro-
duct of the West Indies cannot only be used
for every purpose for which the better
known lemon is employed, but that, weight
for weight it contains more Juice. Mr.. AL
gernon +. AspinaII, Secretary of the West
India Committee, who with the Exhibition
ommitto OF Dominica is responsible for the
experiment, informed Il W0yujug Post re-
preventative yesterday that practical results
had undoubtedly been achieved by their
efforts to secure support IN this country for
what is, next to the banana, the most impor-
tant fruit produced III the West Indies on a
commercial basis. The West Indian Pro-
duce Associations, he said. is now importing
about 100 boxes every mail, and the great
point gained is that lines are now obtaipable
on q commercial basis at Covent Garden.
The cultivation Of the lime tree is by far
the largest industry of Dominica, the ex-
ports of lines and lime products from that
island being five or six times as great as
those of Montserrat, which through iudici-
Gus advel %tisement, has been SO closely ideh-
tilted in the public mind with the fruit. The
lime is already weIl-known and appreciated
in America. In 1910 there We're 27,427 bar
rels shipped from Dominica, the bulk going
to the United States. Our efforts are being
directed to making that fruit better known
in this country, and thus developing a trade
with one of our colonies. For one thing, we
realize that the United States offers a less
safe market than that of the United King
dom, for the Americans have practically shut
down the business done in oranges from the
British West Indies by imposing q duty,
with a view to protecting their own orange
growers
On its merits, Mr.. Aspinall considers the
Dominica lime will become more popular in
this country. The future is decidedly hope
full he said. OF course, "a few bot summers
like the last will help us enormously. We
shall still continue the experiment of Gistr

London, Jan. 31.-The New York Times
correspondent has the best authority for
announcing that the negotiations which have
been going Oh between the British Govern
ment and the Marconi Company for over u
year, rumors Of which resulted in wireless
shares recently rising from AS, ($3. 50) to
over sos, are now completed.
In fact, the arrangements arrived at be
tween representatives Of the British Post
Office aud the Marconi Company only require
certain formal signatures which in the case
Of ordinary business would have been forth
coming to- day, but in the present instance
are delayed by the habitual red-tapeism Of
the British Government departments.
Under the new scheme the Marconi Com
PAM VIII be in IA position to make enormous
der ,nlents, White ii is as yet impossible
to give details, it can be said that the con
tract initiates a system of wireless comnu-
~nication between all the British dominious
throughout the world.
Every part OF the empire, on which it is
the Briton's proud boast that the sun never
sets, viii be linked by an immaterial chain
formed out Of the encircling ether. A new
Puck will girdle the earth.
In various quarters of England protests
have been heard against the Americaniza-
ton of the transatlantic cables since those
lines, laid by British capital, came under the
control Of American management, and the
laying Of a governmental cable between the
United Kingdom aud Canada was urged as
q necessary precautiOn.
The Post Offices contract with Mr. Marconi
is the answer of the BRUSH Government to
this point. 1t is the Inauguration of an "All
Red" wireless system, not confined to a sin
Gle route, but extending to and connecting
every portion of the British dominions. Eng
land will be linked with all her colonies and
dependencies in Europe, Asia, Africa, Aus
tralja, and the Americas.

deprecated being a spokesman in regard to
the developments of the scheme, but one has
only to look back to the progress Of wireless
telegraphy during the last decade to realize
what Il tremendous future is before this APP

NEW COPPER STRIKE
HAS GOOD AVERAGE

The report of Manager James
Quinn of the Ely Consolidated to the
main Office of the company in Salt
Lake indicates that the large body OF
porphyry ore, which was struck sew
erel weeks ago in the No. 3 drift on
the 600-foot level Of the Zack shaft
will average better than two per cent
copper, while portions of the vein will
assay 10 per cen in the red metal.
The silver and gold contents in the
ley discovery are worthy of con-
s%ideration.
The actual extent of the deposits
has not been determined, owing to
the fact that the drift has been ex-
tended for only thirty feet. Develop
ments in this portion of the estate
will be continued until the hanging
wall has been reached.
The management has decided to
sink the Zack shaft TO a depth of 500
feet. with the intention of drifting at
that point TO intersect ore bodies that
have been disclosed on the 500 and
600-foot levels. The geological con-
ditions are favorable for the en-
countering Of the same ore bodies at
greater depth. with the values large
ly increased.
II has been estimated by competent
engineers that 10000 ton of ore of
a commercial grade have been open
ed up i'm the Zack shaft. which should
net the company in the neighborhood
of 1000, 600. This statement has
been made without regard 10 ore
bodies of worth in other workings,
and the possibility of more remark
able showings in the lower works of
the Zack shaft.
The sinking of the Zack shaft two
hundred feet deeper will he resumed
as soon as the five cents assessment
has been collected by the directors.
The hosting plant will permit sink
ing to a depth of 1900 feet If neces-
sary. The pumps which were recent
" installed are capable of handling
140. 600 gallons of water daily.

TO SUBMIT GAMBLING TO
REFERENDUM VOTE

Rumors are current in the western
part of the state that concerted eff
forts will be made during the ap-
preaching political campaign TO
have legitimate gambling restored.
II is claimed that the plan would
have been tried at the special session
of the Legislature, if the messages
transmitted by the governor had pei
mitted the introduction of certain
bills.
The system that will be employed
to allow all games Of chance to be
sanctioned by law will be the referen-
dun. a privilege granted by consti-
tutional amendment to the voters of
Nevada.
A number of petitions have been
prepared in Reno, and 1t is the in
~tention to have them circulated
throughout the state with the idea
of having the disenactment of the
anti-gambling law submitted to the
voters at the general election next
November.
In order to have the question APP
pear upon the ballot IL will be neees-
sary to have the signatures of ten
per cent of the qualified voters of the
state on the petitions. The aggrega-
tion back of the movement numbers
