VALUE LAST YEARS.
MINERAL OUTPUT

The value of all minerals pro-
duced in the United States in 1912,
according to figures just compiled by
Edward W Parker, statistician, of
the United States Geological Survey.
reached the record breaking total of
So ,243, 63O,326. Thise is more than
six times the value of the production
in 1882, 80 years ago. During that
period the population has not quite
doubled, but the per capita output of
tile mines has increased from 1927 to
$23.47.
During these three decades the
value of the output of some minerals
has made a striking increase. The
value. sof the pigiron product, for IN
stance, has increased from LOG to 400
million dollars; copper from 10 to
205. million dollars; gold from 32 to
90 million dollars, lead from IL to 81
million dollars; zine from 146 to 695
million dollars; petroleum from "a to
1853 million dollars; 'notural gas from
2151 thousand to "a million dollars
cement from $3,609,80o to $50, 900,
900.
Still more striking illustrations of
the growth of the mineral industry
in the United States are the. figures
showing that, while in 1880 the total
mineral production in the United
States was valued at 1864, 000, 1000, in
1912 the value of the pig iron alone
was 1920, 000, 600, while the value OF
the coal production for 1912 was
nearly double the total mineral out,
put of 30 years ago. In 1880 the
value of the mineral products was
approximately, $1,000 900 a day.; in
1912 it was over $4,000, 900 a day. !,

longer a mine lasts the greater the &C

WILL NOT WE'D
EIoping MackSviIIe Girl Goes
Home With Brother.
Decides MatrimOny Might Not
Be Paying Venture.

Hutchinson, Kan Feb 17-When
they stepped off of train No. Il at the
Santa Fe depot and found that they
were FOLLOWED by Officer Thomas
Owens. Esther Miller and VIII McCas-
land began to get nervous. Henry
Miller. of Haven, was with the officer
and nipped in the bud an attempted
elopement of his sister. and McCasland.
They had left Macksville and got as
far as Hutchinson on their way to
San Angelo. Texas. where McCasland
says his home is.
After getting off the train. McCas-
land placed Miss Miller in a hack and
ordered her taken to the Baldwin hotel
saying as she stepped into the carriage
that he would join her there and they
would go on to Texas and be married
when they stopped in Wichita in the
morning. But Henry was determined
his sister, though of age, should not
run away with a total stranger, and
so as she stepped from the cab at the
hotel he persuaded her to go home
with him in her fathers car McCas-
land arrived a the hotel in time to
see his bride go cut on her brothers
arm.
McCasland was pretty we'll fright
ened and was barely able to write his
name on the hotel register. He told
Officer Owens that they had intended
to get married and go to Texas to-
gether.
Later he denied the marriage theory
and declared the girl had quit working
the Frost restaurant in Macksville,
and announced she was going to Texas
with him.
Miss Miller told Officer Owens. that
McCasland had wanted her to marry
him and that she liked him pretty well
and had decided to go with him.
McCasland said he had known the
girl but three months and had never
gone with her at all but to walk with
her from the house where she stayed
to the restaurant where she worked as
a waitress.
Mrs Emma Frost. proprietress of
the restaurant where the girl was en-
pIoyed telephoned to her brother at
Haven that the elopement had been
planned and he at once secured his car
and came to Hutchinson to head off
the match if possible. He consulted
the policemen and they told him that
as his sister was of age they could do
nothing but let her go unless Miller
was willing to swear to complaint
a gainst one or both of them.

10000 SQUARE MILES OF SALT.
There's Enough in Kansas to Last a
Million Years.

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. 17.-Kansas
has enough salt to last the world 10
million years. That is the substance
of a report made public by Prof. Eras-
mus Haworth of the University of
Kansas, state geoIogist. Professor Ha-
worth made survey of the salt re-
sources of Kansas and has prepared
map showing in detail the quality and
amount of the known salt beds of the
state. So vast is the area of saline de-
posits that Professor Haworth is con-
fident that the world need fear no salt
shortage for countless ages.
There are at least 900 square miles
of salt beds in Kansas said Pro-
fesSor Haworth. 81 have no doubt but
that there are 10000 or 10000 square
miles. but 1 based my report only on
proven territory. The average thick
ness of the salt bed is 300 feet, all
practically pure salt.
THE salt may be obtained by mining
or by using an evaporation process. By
the latter method, most of the CONNER
cial product is obtained. Rice, Reno,
Ellsworth and Kingman counties are
underlaid by salt beds"

FOLLOW CLAIRvoYANTs CLUE.
Relatives Hope 1t May Locate George
f. Mitchell, Lumberman.

| Hutchinson, Kan, Feb. 17.-There
| being no other clue. a tip from a
! clairVoyant is being followed in the at
tempt to locate George E. Mitchell,
missing manager of the Kansas Lum-
Der company at Medora.
r. E. Calbert, a Medora merchant,
who is father-in-law of the missing
man, and who is as anxious to locate
him as is the lumber company or the
authorities. consulted a clairvoyant at
Wichita yesterday.
I'VE are following the clue she gave
U.S." said Mr. Calbert. 1T Is rather
vague but is the best we have
Mitchell. who came from Emporia
two years ago, was trusted with the
mana cement of an extensive lumber
and hardware business at Medora. 1t
is alleged that he is short several thou
sand dollars in accounts.
Ever since AxeI Johnson, a Rock ISL
and operator at Medora. located his
missing sweetheart last month, through
the medium of a clairvoyant, Medora's
faith in c1airvoyancy has been strong.
Although Sheriff K. c. Beck puts little
stock in it, he is following the clue
suggested.

unto me all We who labor and are
heaNy laden and / will give you rest.
But it isn't necessary to labor or to
be heavy laden in Pittsburg.
P1ttsburg'S doors are opened to the
tramp. He who is the victim of the
everlasting wanderlust will not be
threatened with the policeman's
billy" Mayor Graves is the good
samaritan who decreed that all no
boes viii be welcomed hither when
storms beset them and hunger over
takes them if they happen to be in
this vicinity when on their consistent
three-times- day quests for hand
outs" Here's the way the mayor
looks at it:
The tramp is the victim of too
great malice. He's harmless and al
ways helpless. 1t is the duty of the
strong to care for the weak. [ see no
good reason why the city shouldn't
provide these unfortunate fellows a
place to sleep in the city jail. There's
plenty of room and it's warm and
comfortable. Give a tramp a news
paper to spread on the floor and he's
fixed for the night And down at the
jail he won't bother anyone. I don't
know why these fellows should be
dubbed from the city
Real Tramp Doesn't Stay.
Mayor Graves also says that the
tramp-the real tramp-never tarries
long in one place. This is another
good reason, he believes, for adopting
lenient means of dealing with hoboes.
when the first warm day comes
the Vagabonds leave without urging
from the authorities" said the mayor.
It's in their blood and they can't
help it. Only Indictment weather
drives them to seek shelter in the
'holdover.' They're like the geese
that seek refuge in the swamps in the
southland near Port Arthur, Tex.
These wild geese come in great flocks
and remain in the. shelter of the
swamp vegetation until the storm
passes on and then they proceed on
their flight. It's the same way with
the tramps. They move on without
being forced when weather conditions
permit"
The Hotel de Hobo at police head
quarters has been crowded to capacity
for the last two weeks and it is
thought that the mayors order will
tend to decrease the number of
guests"
However, the mayor described con-
ditions very accurately when he said
the trampS caused little or no trouble
to the officers. They furnish their
own beds and CLEAN a livelihood by
means of back-door visits to tender
hearted housewives.

PimpIes Source
of Great Danger
May be Means of Absorbing
Disease Germs in Most
Unexpected Manner.

The research laboratory of The Swift
Specific Co. has collected vast amount
of information regarding the spread OF
blood diseases. In thousands of instances
the most virulent types have been the re-
suit of coming in contact with disease
germs in public places, and the apparent
cause. 1t Spreads with astonishing ra-
pidity, often injecting the entire system
in few days.
1t is fortunate, however, that there is
remedy to cope quickly and thoroughly
with such a condition, and thanks to the
energy Of its producers the famous
6. S. S. may not be had at almost any
drug store in the civilized world.
This preparation stands alone among

the fire needed replenishing, he arose
and went out after coal. He fixed the

if it took effect no signs were to be
