1t is a remarkable fact that Judge
Howe will be but the eighth judge of
the United States court for the district
of Vermont since the admission of the
state to the Union in 1871, and the
establishing Of this court almost one
and a quarter centuries ago. The first
distinguished jurist in that office was
Judge Nathaniel Chapman, who served
from 1877 to 1893. Then followed in
order Judge Samuel Hitchcock. 1898 to
1901. Judge Elijah Paine, who occupied
the bench for the remarkable period OF
Al years from ls0l to 1912, Judge
Samuel Prentiss, who was judge from
1912 to 1886, Judge David y. Smalley
Of Burlington, who served from 1886
to 1877, Judge Hovt II. Wheeler of
Brattleboro. who presided over the
court from 1877 to 1906, and Judge
James L. Martin, also Of Brattleboro
who has been on the bench for the
past eight years

Only $4,000 On Hand.
(St. Adams Messenger

The very imperative necessity OF tire
exercising of the greatest possible dis
erection IN the making OF approprla-
tions on the part of the Legislature IS
plainly revealed by the Montpelier
despatch printed elsewhere in The
Messenger.
The state auditor and the state tax
commissioner in their statement show
that if expenses are left as they now
are, and If the anticipated revenue
materiaEZes, the legislature has the
small sum of 900 for new appro-
priations. 1t is thought that possibly
this amount may be increased to $780,
600, but this estimate is based on what
might be called futures, - and really
are figures that a business corporation
would not use in justifying Increased
expenditures.
Granting, however. that the 500, 600
materilIizes, it remains only to be said
that any appropriation beyond that fig
ure Will at once necesSitate q direct
state tax. The corporations and the
railroads are now taxed to the limit.
This much was granted by both the in
coming and outgoing governors in their
messages and both declared that in
| creased appropriations meant direct
tax, and their views are those held by
! All who have examined into the ques-
! tlon Of state finance.
1t does not have to be pointed out
| 10 the Legislature that the state does
| not want q direct tax. The direct tax
| of 1912 has borne heavily upon the
towns and municipalities and it is a
| burden which they are anxious tC
! shake eff
Moreover, the proposed tax law
which puts back the offset cannot re.
ceive d fair trial if the state tax i
| imposed because that law will probably
result IN some decrease in the grand
lists and the towns viii not be in pc
lsltlon to pay even a small direct tan
under these conditions
But it Is idle to argue that the state
/ tax is unpopular; the members Of III,
| legislature are taxpayers and they
know it as well rs anyone else. Thu
tar the house has demonstrated that j
has no desire to make n direct tax nee
essary, but it has been working in tn,
dark. Now, however. with the audi
tor s and tax commissioner figure
before them, they know exactly how
near the edge they stand and may gov
crn themselves accordingly
There is hope for a Successful out
come in the effort to keep aprropria
tions down because Governor Gate
and the various committees dealin
with finance seem to be in accord o
this point. The whole burden is no
on them, however; they must receiv

GRANTS FROM BOULDERS

An interesting feature of the pro-
duction of granite in California Is
the quantity of stone quarried from
large residual boulders. These boul-
ders, according to the United States
geological survey, represent the
remnants left from prolonged disin-
tegratiOn of large granite masses,
but after a thin weathered coating
is removed they yield sound stone.
Good granite should stand a crush
ing strain of at least 10000 pounds
to the square inch; some GRANTEES
will stand 10000 pounds. This may
be compared to ommon red brick,
which will crush at about 5000
pounds to the square inch.

u. S. Increase in Gold Mining;
Value Estimated at $o3, 5000, 900

ed over IA per cent and the total
production was about $4,000 900, or
more than for any year since 1906.
The placers and the Southern Cross
and North Moncasin mines enjoyed
an active year.
Nevada mines showed a decrease
of about a per cent, or over $780,
900. in gold output in 1914. The
yield at the great Goldfield camp
alone declined by over $1,000, 900
but this decrease was Offset by in
creased yield from Tonopah, Ma
%tional, Fairview, Wonder, Round
Mountain, Seven Troughs and other
camps. At Manhattan the output
declined about 40 per cent.
In New Mexico the mine produc-
ton increased nearly $500, 900, but
in Oregon the output declined about
$4,000.
In South Dakota the mine output
was normal. The great Homestake
mines and mills were operated
throughout the year., treating a
slightly increased tonnage of slight
ly lower grade. The Golden Reward,
Mogul, Trojan, Reliance, Wasp No.
2 and other mines and mills were
generally active.
In Utah the mine output of gold
decreased about Z per cen cen or
over $3.50 5000. in 1914. The yield
was principally from copper pres
The output from true gold ores ha
declined since the suspension of op.
erations at Mercur.
The Philippine production has
steadily increased and in 1914 pass
ed the $1,000,0O0 mark.
California again retains first rank
in gold production in 1914, followed
in order by Colorado, Alaska, Ne
vada and South Dakota, as in 1913.
Arizona and Montana have both pass
ed Utah, however, which dropped to
eighth place in 1914. AS stated in
the geological survey press bulletin
a year ago., increased output of gold
on any large scale is largely to be
expected from any Of the states from
the present outlook, and unless the
great low-grade deposits of the Jul
neau district, in Alaska, now being
prepared for large yield, step into
the breach, or new discoveries are
made elsewhere, the future domestic
gold yield may show further decline
from the high figures of recent years.
Undoubtedly discoveries will be
made, for much territory remains
for the patient examination or re-
examination by the indefatigable
p%rospector. but the Importance OF
such discoveries is necessarily be-
yond prophecy.
According to estimates from the
bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, the imports in 1914 COM
prised gold valued at $~5S,122,OO0,
and the exports were valued at
$242,711,0O0 The excess or exports
owe imports was therefore about
$1S4,5S9,0 600, against an excess of
$2S.O93,77S in 1918. The gold i'm
ported in 1914 was, as usual, in ore,
bullion and coin; $~35,759,0OO came
from Canada and the remainder
chiefly from Japan, Mexico and Cen
trail and South America. The ex-
ports, which were of especial inter-
est in 1914, were about $113,513,-
900 to Canada, $92,323,O 0 to
France, and $31.116,OO to England,
and were mainly in United States
coin and fine bars.
