PETROLEUM ACCOUNTS FOR
ONE-THIRD OF UNITED
STATES MINERAL WEALTH

The petroleum industry by far is
the leading producer of mineral
wealth in the United States, it is
reported by the u S. Bureau of
Mines. Value of crude oil and nat
ural gasoline produced by the ma
TONS oil wells in 1887 was ST.
7,2650,0OO or 80 per cent of
total value of all minerals produc-
ed. The 1887 petroleum output val
ne was 267 per cent above that of
1896 and 57.6 per cent above that
of 1885.
The Bureaus Statistical sum
mary of Mineral Production" re-
veals that the proportion Of total
mineral wealth represented by pc
troleum has more than quadrupled
since 1911 when it was only seven
per cent. Production of bituminous
coal and anthracite was second to
petroleum in 1887 with a dollar va
lue of $9S4.59S,S49. Pig iron was
third with 1881, 139,4S5 Total value
OF all minerals produced was S.
44O, 100000.

IT'S A GOOD IDEA, ANYWAY

It is possible that some time in
the future residents of Helena may
witness a band of wild Indians
charging down last Chance Gulch?
Last year a 20O-pound bear was
killed after a hectic chase through
the heart of the city A short time
ago a three-year-old bull moose was
driven from a cemetery on the city's
outskirts. Porcupines and bobcats
have been sighted in some Of the
towns hilly areas and jack rabbits
often Iope down the winding streets
in the winter, and once a fren-
zied housewife saw a frog come
through her kitchen faucet. Last
week a resident Of the east side
was startled when a brace OF
Chinese pheasants flushed from IN
der his feet as he stepped off his
front porch. What next?
