Large figures, some of them
clean record breakers, have
been attained in the mineral
output of the United States for
1912, according to the specialists
of the United States Geological
Survey. The figures of coal
production are the most SEN
sational, all previous records
having been surpassed by about
5o,0OO,0O0 tons, an increase
equal to the total production of
the country 40 years ago. The
production for 1911 was 49G, 22l :
l6S short tons; the estimate for
1912 is $50, 100000 tons, and the
final figures may even reach a
still higher mark.

"THE THIEF" PLAY
OF STRONG APPEAL

1.-THE Thief" the play OF Henri

ire Saturday night, by g. s. Primrose
Is drama Of domestic complications
that GALES for the Interpretation Of
very difficult roles on the part Of those
personifying the principal characters.
No one who witnessed the performan-
ce here could have failed TO appreciate
the demands made upon Helene Gull
bert in the part Of Marie Louise Voy-
sin. the wife who stole that she might
dress lavlshly and retain the affections
OF her husband which she believed TO
be languishing To shield herself from
guilt, she persuades Fernand Lagardes
q youthful loyer TO deceive her hus-
band, and later, her entreaties when
he discovered her culDahility, failed
TO move him from his purpose to see
that justice was done. The part OF
Richard yOysin played by Mr.. Emer-
son, was perhaps the best acted Of the
cast, though it is conceivable that
more fire and jealous indignation
would have added brilliance TO the
personation. Mr.. BOgart as RAYMOND
Lagardes, the father of Fernand La.
gardes and Mr.. Kline in the latter,
proved themselves appreciative of
their respective roles. Mr.. Plymton
