OF IOWA
OUSTED

Des Moines, Jan. 1.-The state of
Iowa today entered the dry column"
when the doors OF more than 500
saloons in its various cities and towns
were closed under statutory prohibi-
tion, because OF the so-cailed mulct
law repeal which went into effect at
midnight last night, At the same time
the fifteen breweries Of the state went
out of business.
As the result of the mulct law repeal
becoming effective the county, city
and federal governments will sustain
a loss OF $765,650. which heretofore
had been received annually from the
saloons in the form of license tax. OF
this amount the cities will lose $685.
400, counties S150,600 and the federal
government $12,550 according to state
officials here. There were 002 saloons
operating in Iowa up to last night.
Developments which might lead to a
test of the mulcts.law repeal in the
courts OF the state were not expected
to materialize before Monday because
of the fact that today and tomorrow
are holidays. Statements reaching the
attorney generals Office during the
week were to the effect that. saloon
keepers in Davenport and Keolxuk had
planned . to reopen their. places of
business on Monday with a view to
furnishing the desired test cases.. At
torney General Cosson was to go to

Washington Jan. 1.-Official gov
ernment figures made public here
disclosed that in the face of rising
prices of gasoline, production of crude
petroleum during the last year was
greater than in 1914, although pro-
duction was "purposely retarded as
as practicable" that reserve stocks
of crude petroleum now being held in
the country are the largest ever re-
corded; and that exports of gasoline, to
which the rise in prices frequently
has been attributed were in the last
ten months of 1915 less than the sx-
ports during the corresponding period
of the two years previous.
[ Both the department of justice and
the federal trade commission are pre-
pairing to investigate gasoline prices.
A statement issued by the geogol.-
nical survey estimated the 1915 pro-
duction of market petroleum at 267,.
400 900 barrels, 1000 barrels more
than in 1914.
This says the statement, docs not
agree with the currently reported
reason for the exceptionally high
prices now prevailing for motor fue. "
GAS a result of the overload put on
the, transporting and refining phases
OF the petroleum industry by the eX-
cess output OF 1914, the year 1915 may
be characterized as a period of re-
adjustment in which production activ-

RECORD
YEAR IN
MINING

Washington. Jan. 1.--Mining in the
United States is in the midst Of a
great revival. Preliminary estimates OF
the 1915 production, made public by
the geological survey. show large in
creases over the output OF 1914 in
nearly all classes of minerals.
/ Copper mined during the year was
valued at about $S3.000.000 more than
the 1914 total; iron production in
creased 3S per cent; spelter increased
25 per cent in quantity, and $S5,O0o,o00
in value, and gold production increas-
led $7,000,000. -.
Alaska had the most prosperous
mining year in its history with an out
put worth about S32, 100000. That is
almost $1S,000,000 more than the 1914
value, and about s9,000.000 above the
record year of 1906, when the bonanza
placers of Fairbanks and Nome were
yielding their greatest returns.
