The state of California has ample
quarters for seven European countries,
but its population is only little over
100000, whereas little Roumania
alone harbors just about 100000 in
habitants.
Austria Hungary fits rather tightly
across the shoulders in Texas, which
has scattered population of nearly
100000. whereas Austria-Hungary
has more than 51,000000 of people ac-
commodated within its boundaries.

Denver-Colorado is experiencing
the greatest mining boom in the his
tory Of the state, according to M. B.
romlin, state mining commissioner.
Mr.. Tomlin has ascertained through
inspection trips over the state and re-
ports from mining centers that Colo
radios metal output for 1916 will be
more than 25 per cent larger than In
1915, the greatest in the history oi
the state; that new mines are being
located; old mines are being re
opened; every miner in the state has
work. and there is an unprecedented
demand for labor at the mines.
Never has such activity in the min
ing industry been known, at least in
the memory of officials and attaches
of the mining commissioners office,
as Colorado now is experiencing.
Leadville has greater tonnage out.
put than ever before and when the
old downtown mines there begin op-
erations the output will be given ad-
ditional impetus.
In Boulder county the production
of gold and silver ore is more than
% per cent greater than ever before
known and the present output for
1916 has surpassed that of 1915 al
ready.
In Cripple Creek there Is not much
fluctuation, the output there being
about to capacity always.
Throughout the San Juan district.
the Leadville district and all over the
southern part of the state there is a
scarcity of miners and common labor.
Commissioner Fred Carroll and In.

true wherever they have been.
In the San Juan district the ore
shipments already have increased to
a point fully so per cent greater than
hose of year ago. The same is true
in greater or less degree all over
