TRAVELETTE
DY NIkSAH.
Marietta, Ohio.

The first town in the northwest ter
ritory was settled at the junction or
the Muskingum and Ohio rivers in l'7S
and was named for Marie Antolnettt-
The town was incorporated IN 1Seo, anu
Washington, having camped within IT,
borders. the county when surveyed
was given his name The little frame
building where the office of the ONO
Land Company transacted business still
stands as one of the sights of the city.
But, early as this settlement WIS
made, it is modern when compared with
the history of the site on which 1t
stands. probably the capital OF the
mound builders. the tribes of which
inhabited the Ohio and adjacent river
valleys.
The learned men from New England
who formed the colony readily saw, in
the formation of the mounds. classic
resemblances to the Roman hills, and
these mounds became the QuadranunI.
Capitolum and SO on, the road which
led to the river the Sacra Via.
The principal mound, around which
is now situated - old cemetery. has
long since been A.t:ericanized to Mound
cemetery. The mound is about thirty
feet in height and is surrounded by an
earth embankment with openings
where gates might have been con-
Structed.
Doubtless the earthworks have
sunken to half their former size as
years have gone on. Some of them
have been opened. when the usual rel
les of their periods have been dis
closed.

LEAD PRODUCTION IN U. S.
RECORD BREAKER IN 1914
Exceeded That of Any Preceding
Year by More Than 100000
Tons, Says Report.

Production of lead in the United
States in 1914 exceeded that Of any
preceding year by more than 100000
tons, according to c. E.. Siebenthal of
the geological survey. At the same
time. however. the average price OF
lead in the United States was lower in
1914 than it has been since 1898.
The surveys estimates, it is stated
have been compiled from reports filed
by all lead refineries and soft lead
smelters in operation during 1914. the
reports covering actual production for
the first ten or eleven months of the
year, with estimates for the remainder
of the year.
Production of refined lead, desiIver-
zed and soft, from domestic and for
elgn ores, last year was 537.079 short
tons, the approximate value of which
was $41,S92,162. The 1913 production
was 462.46o short tons. worth s4o,ss6.-
$50.
Imports and Exports Of Lead.
Imports of lead are estimated at

at S743,332; 1898 tons of lead in base
bullion, valued at s1,029,233: and 142
tons of refined lead, valued at s9,751-
total of 26.9O4 tons. valued at $1,7s2,-
31S, compared with 57.145 tons. valued
at s2,965,S17. in 1913.
The exports of lead of foreign origin

report, being estimated at 21, 1913 tons,
against 54,323 tons in 1913 and 1929
