ried to Escape

When the key came the officers en
 tered, but the robber, taking alarm
 ran out of a side door into the alley
 with officers in pursuit. He climbed
 the roof of the building by means of a ladder, paying no attention to orders of the officers to stop They opened fusilade of shots, fearing that he would shoot. Alvarado had started to run across the roof but the last shot brought him down
 He was rushed to the Arizona hos pital in semi-conscious condition but later recovered consciousness.
 = In his possession were found tray of jewelry which he had taken from a chest in the store near the safe, box of cartridges and the chisel, all spattered with blood The jewlery was valued at s15O Five shots were fired by the officers, three of them taking effect, bullet on each thigh and a third entered the knee. He was weak from loss of blood when first taken, but soon became better.
 Notwithstanding Alvarado's ener- setic efforts, the safe door was not opened. The jewelry he had taken was from a cabinet near the safe. He left a quantity of knives, jewelry, six shooters, razors and other articles lying about in disorder on the floor.

In Montana and Arizona record out puts of silver are reported and in Alaska the increased production of gold and especially copper made 1915 much more prosperous year than even 1906 when Fairbanks and Nome were yielding their greatest returns of gold from bonanza placers.

Owing mainly to s.eady demands fo1 export coal and for coke for steel
 making, the output in Pennsylvania West Virginia, Kentucky, and Alaska
 increased over last year, but little
 change is recorded in other eastern States. The region west of Ohio
 including the Mississippi Valley
 shows a general decrease, Colorado being the only Western State to
 show betterment.
 Connected with the coke industry was the completion during the last summer of number of large plants for the recovery of benzol from by product coke-oven gas. This gives the United States it's first output of this material, so important as a raw material in the manufacture of high explosives and chemical dyes, and the amount of this product will be reported later.
 Preliminary estimates of the total output of petroleum in the United States in 1915 indicate a slight in crease over the corresponding output in 1914. It is believed that the total petroleum yield of the United States in 1915 amounted to 291, 100000 bar rels, of which quantity it is also esti- mated that 267,4H0, ,9HO barrels was marketed and 24,Cj9,CQO barrels plac- ed in producers field tankaze during tIe year.

The estimated production in- dicates an increase of 6 1-2 per cent in the three common grades, but more than loo per ceat in the strong est grades.
 The estimate of Portland cement output in 1915 indicates shipments from the mills of S6, ,524 800 barrels, an increase of one+tenth of one per cent over 1914. There was a slight decrease in production and this, with the appreciable decrease in stock, in- dicates more conservative trend in the industry, which in the preceding few years showed a tendency to over- Prices generally averag- ed few cents lower per barrel in 1915 than in 1914, although toward the end of the year prices were substantially increased, and the outlook for 1916 S brighter than for several seasons.

HUNT HONOR MAN SHOT TRYING ID
 ESCAPE
Returned to surgIing After Gradua- tio7 from university at Florence" and is Caught Red-Handed in De- vant Store in Tucson.

TUCSON, Dec. 2S.-The condition of Andrew Alvarado, former honor man at the Florence penitentiary, who was shot by police and sheriff's officers in the thigh and knee while attempting to escape after he had entered the Devant second hand store, Broadway and Meyer. was reported as being favorable yesterday evening at the Arizona hospital, where
 he was taken,and there is no doubt
 but what he will recover. He had
 rifled the store of jewelry valued at
 $150 when taken.
 Alvarado was detected by a China
 man who was passing the store and
 saw him in the rear trying to drill
 the safe open with double jack drill
 and hammer and chisel The China man telephoned to the police station and within a few moments a party of officers including Deputy Sheriffs Arnold and Montgomery, and Officers SalaZar, Mills, Sullivan, Salisbury and Camacho were collected and proceed ed to the front of the building Mont gomery in the meantime had gone to the Devant home for the key to the store and while officers waited at the front they could see Alvarado working busily at his task of drilling the safe open.

PROSPEROUS YEAR FOR THE
 MINES OF UNITED STATES

The mid-year review of mining conditions reported to the Secretary of the Interior on Judy 1 by the Di- rector O; the United States Geological Survey is well supported by the pre- lininary reports for tpe year s'lhmit- ted today. inc Geological SIr9-y e making public it's usual estimate Of mineral production for 1915 in the form of separate statement for each of the more important mineral products.
 :. A review of these statements con- firms Secretary Lanes comment of Last July to the effect that the min ing revival is in full swing. In the Western States alone tue metal pro- duetion shows an increase in value of more than $13O,OO0.G0G over the cor responding figures for 1914; and the years increase in output for the principal metals measured in value is more than s25O, O,O0G,OO0 Moreover 1t is not unreasonable to expect that when the full returns for all mineral products are compiled they will show that 1915 was the country's most productive year in the mining indus ny: The total may even reach two and one-half billion dollars.
 n the response to bettered condi- ions the production figures for cop
 CT, iron and zinc show the largest increase.
 Copper Beats All Records
 The copper mines passed all rec ords for previous years, the 1915 out put having a value of 100000, or SS3, 100000 more than the valuc Of production for 1914. The S 2 tics and estimates received place the out put of blister and Lake copper at 1,3e5, ,500, ,00O pounds or more than 129, 100000 pounds in excess of the largest previous production and eigh- teen per cent above last years fig ures. Only twice in the history of copper mining has there been a larger increase in quantity of metal produced.
 Large Increase in Iron
 The total shipments of iron ore from the mines in the United States in 1913 are estimated to have ex- ceeded 55,OOO,OO0 gross tons, an in- crease over 1914 of more than 3S per cent. Based on the same price as received in 1914 this represents an increase in total value of about $27,- 645,OO0. The increase in pig iron is estimated at 6,5OO,OOO tons, with a total increase in value of pig iron

 Zinc Records Also Broken

| Zinc Records Also Broken
 The output of zinc (spelter) made from domestic ores was larger than ever before being about 425, 1000 tons woth $120,000,00O as compared with 343, AIS tons in 1914, an increase of about S2,000 tons or nearly 25 per cent in quantity and of $S5,OOO, 900 in value. Production was increased dur ing the latter half of the year, as the poduction during the first half was at the rate of 415,OOO tons annually and at the rate of 436,OOO tons during the last half
 The output of refined pig lead from domestic ores was about 515, ,O0O tons worth about S,5OO,OOO as compared with 512,794 tons in 1914, an in- crease of only ,2,5O0 tons in quantity ] but of $S,5OO,OOO or 20 per cent in value. The production of antimonial lead was 20,55O tons as compared with 16,669 tons in 1914, an increase of g. SS2 tons or g per cent in quantity and an increase in value of nearly $2,OOO,OOO.
 Gold and Silver Increases
 The annual preliminary estimates on the production of gold and silver in the United States, made jointly by the United States Geological Sur l vey and the Bureau of the Mint, are not yet complete, but early figures based on reports from the m:n~5 il- dicate an increase in mine production over that of 1914 of over 37,OG0.000 in gold, principally from Colorado, Cali fornia, Alaska, Montana, and Idahc, and an increcse in nine production lof silver of fully 4,000,OO0 ounces, ionicAy frc3 Montana, Utah. and -iriIonc This increase in gold pro- duction ray bring 1915 up to the record year of 1909, when the gold output of this country was nearly $1OO,OOO,OOO
 Quicksilver, also had had it's best year in 1915. The quantity increased 25 per cent oyer 1914, but the value of the output more than doubled ow- ing to the much higher prices. The estimated production was 2O6S1, fiasks of 75 pounds each, valued at the average price for the year-the highest in the last 40 years-at $1,- .76S,225. In value, this domestic pro duction was the highest since 1881 and in quantity the largest since 1912

reign of Queen Anne, was very froilc-
some, and one day, seeing from his
carriage a dancing master with pearl
colored stockings stepping lightly
over the broad stones and picking his
way in extremely dirty weather, he
alighted and ran after him with
drawn sword in order 10 drive him in
10 the mud, but into which he. OF
course, followed himself This noble
man was once taken for the Duke OF
Marlborough and was mobbed in con
sequence The duke was then in DIS
grace with the people, and Lord Fei-
erborough was about to be roughly
handled Turning to them, he said;
Gentleman. I can convince you by
two reasons that am not the Duke o,
