POPULATION OF ANACONDA
is ESTIMATED AT $4,000

| Little conjecture is being made a:
to what the official returns will re
veal as to the 1920 population, fol
the result seems to be of little con-
Germ, which is taken that most of the
residents put little credence in the
accuracy of a nose count, official, OF
otherwise.
The general estimate, however, fol-
the population of Anaconda at pres
ent is $1,000. 1t is not contended
that Anaconda is making gains, nor
that there is any decrease, it being
estimated that $4,000 has been the
population mark for the smelter city
for great many years.
There are those, however, who
claim that in other days during the
boom times the population here has
reached as high as 10000, but con-
sentative ones discount that state
ment, averring that the population
never has been more than $4,000,
and that the city is at least holding
its own.
1t generally has been considered
that the population of Butte has been
$4,000, but there are those who now
are estimating the 1920 federal cen
sus will not show more than 47,7O0
for the mining camp. This may be
accounted for from the fact that the
census was taken for Butte when the
mines were being operated last win
ter on short time, and large per-
centage of working people had sought
elsewhere.

u. S. OIL Consumption
Sets Ne,C High Mark

WASHINGTON, Oct. So.-Con-
sumption Of petroleum reached
the high record figure Of 4s,670,-
900 barrels in September, while
production decreased slightly, the
Geological Survey reported to-day
in it's monthly statement. The
average daily production was
placed at l,261,5OO barrels. as
compared with 1,270,S70 barrels
in August.
The deficiency in domestic pro-
duction, the survey stated, was
offset by net imports Of l0,914.000
barrels, the largest ever re-
corded In q single month.
Daily average gross production
Of oil in the United States for the
week ended October % is esti-
mated by the American Petroleum
Institute at 1,312,425 barrels, an
increase over the average Of
l,263.115 barrels q day for the
preceding week.
"The estimated average gross
production Of the United States
for two weeks ended October 16
and October Is combined was
1,297,770," says a statement is
sued by the Institute, cor at the
annual rate Of 474,993,820 bar
rels. From statistical aspect it
is probably not fair to multiply
a daily average extending over
such a short period as two weeks
by 1865 and thereby arrive at
theoretical annual rate. Never
theless, it is believed that the com.
parison will be Of value when at
tention is called to the fact that
domestic production in the United
States last year was only
S77,719,000 barrels"
