KANSAS Mine OUTPUT
Decreases in Production Due to Low
err Prices.

Washington, D. c., May 26.-Ac-
cording to the United States geological
survey, the value of the lead and zinc
produced at mines in the state of Kan
sas in 1914 was $1,260,S70, against
S1,343,432 in 1913.
The decrease was due to the lower
prices in the Galena output from
l3,102 tons IN 1913 to 1,S0S tons in
l1914.
All the mines in the Badger-Pea-
cock district were idle, and the pro-
duction of the Galena district was less
in 1914 than in the year before. The
Lawton district was very active, sew
eral new concentrating plants were In
operation, and the mine output was
about double that of 1913
The total quantity of Galena con-
centrates marketed from Kansas IN
1914 was 1908 tons, valued at S79,976,
compared with 3,102 tons, valued at
S15S, O19, in 1913. This decrease was
due entirely to a decline in production
from the Galena district and partlc-
ular1y in the yield from sheet
ground" Decreased mining in sheet
ground" also resulted in increasing
the average percentage of concen-
trateS contained in crude ore from
per cent in 1913 to 4.37 per cent in
1914. The Kansas production or
sphalerite concentrates increased from
2O,0O3 tons, valued at $793,D34, In
1913 to 21,S12 tons, valued at $3.50,
176, in 1914. The large tonnage of
concentrates produced at Lawton had
the effect of increasing the average
zinc content of Kansas concentrates
The recoverable zinc content of sphal-
erite and zinc Silicate ores in Kansas
in 1914 amounted to 11,284 tons, val
ued at $1,150,96S, an increase of 1,195
tons in quantity and of $21, liz in val
ue as compared with 1913.

INJURIES DUE TO WRECKS.
Safety Report Shows That Majority
of Accidents Could Be Avoided.

In a report recently given out by
Marcus A. Dow, safety agent for the
New York Central, it Is stated that
less than 10 per cent of all railroad
injury cases are due to collisions and
derailments, and even the majority of
these are in accidents which could
only be prevented by greater care on
the part of human being involved in
the accidents. The interstate COM
merce commission employs expert in
vestigators, who make Investigations
throughout the country. These inves-
weeks and even months are consumed
inquiring into every detail or single
train accident.
During the twelve years, 1902-1914,
the commission investigated directly,
through its own agents, 1870 train
accidents, of which only 21S, or Ia per
cent, were caused by defective track,
equipment or appliances, and Is per
cent were due to bad weather, outside
agencies, unknown causes or unavoid-
able, while 1920 or II per cent of the
train accidents Investigated by the
commission were found 10 have been
due to the fault of a member of
train crew, a dispatcher, operator or
some other employee.
1.-The human elementi'' said Dow.
''It can never be effaced by all the
safety appliances that can ever be in
vented and applied, nor by all the laws
and regulations that can ever be
passed and enforced

~My little son was very i'll year
ago last winter. He lay in bed in
stupor for two or three days. The
doctor did him no good in fact none
of the medicine given him would stay
on his stomach. I gave him Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
it helped him at once, and two bottles
of it entirely cured him. The action
of this medicine was wonderful" y
MRS. BERTHA ELBRADER, 2l3 North
l4th Street, Atchison, Kans.
The reason that DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the best remedy
for disorders of this description is that
it goes right to first causes. 1t gives an
appetite. 1t facilitates the flow of d1ges-
tive juices. 1t corrects all disorders of the
digestion, and makes the assimilation
of the hfe-giving elements of the food
perfect. 1t invigorates the liver. 1t
purihes and enriches the blood. It
makes the muscles strong and active.
1t tones and steadies the nerves. It
makes a young man look as he should
strong of body, alert of brain and clean
and wholesome of skin.
A young man may be clean, but be
dishgured by unsightly pimples, erup-
tons and alterations on the skin.
These are due to impurities in the
blood. Instead of receiving the life
giving elements of the food, it receives
the foul emanations of indigestion,
bi1iousness and costiveness.
Get the vDiscoveryn now, in liquid
or tablet form from your druggist or
send so cents to DR.. Pierce, Buffalo, NY.
