P (assasg&safi |85 | 5322282588828 gezEgl égsaa:;sasazzs Yellow Jacket Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—What is known as the Appalachian region is the western New York on the north about 900 miles southwesterly into Alabama. This region is the seat of the greatest in the production of the raw materials or in their manufacture into some higher in whole or in part the States of New York, Pennsylvania, /West Virginia, southeastern Ohio, Virginia, eastern Kentucky, Tenneessee, western Georgia, North Carolina and Alabama. Coal and iron are the basis of our in- dustrial wealth, and the story of thelr ““Mineral Resources of the United States, 1¥40,” recently published by the United = States Geological Survey. A brief review | shows that this region furnished over 6,000,000 long: tons of iron ore of the total of a little over 27,500,000 tons for the whole untry. The Lake Superior region in ichigan, Minnesota “and ~ Wisconsin furnished about 20,500,000 tons, leaving something like 1,000,000 tons for all the rest of the country. But when one fol- lows this iron ‘one step farther to its conversion inte pig iron, we find that the | Appalachian region, with Pennsylvania far in the lend o&md\leed in round num- bers about long tons of the total | output of umm tons; anll if we fol- low this pig iron a step or two further we find that this same region produced, in round numbers, about nmm long tons of the total of 6684770 tons of Bes- semer steel ingots; about 2,850,000 lon¢ tone of a total of 3,398,135 tons of hearth steel, more than three fifths n! _the total of 2,361,921 long tons of Besse- mer steel rails, and about. two- ali_the wire nails produced in 1909."

Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL, BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, M. W.. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—Because gold and silver are used for measuring as money the .values of other national pro- | ducts, people are prone to consider their production as perhaps the most important of tie mineral outputs of our country. In a certain sense this is true. But a com- parison of some of cur mineral industries as set forth by the United States Geologi- | cal Survey in the.“Mineral Resources of the United States, 190,” shows how small a part, relatively, the two precious metals play in adding to our national wealth, Round numbers alone being used for convenience sake, it is found that the gold product was worth $79,000,000, and that the commercial value of the silver product was about $36,000,000, though the coining value was $74,000,000. 'As metals, then, the gold and silver were worth $115,000,000; as money, they were worth §133,000,000. Now, the copper produced in 190 was valued at $98,000,000, though the price de- creased a cent and a half a pound as com- | pared with 1599: the lead was valued at | over §23,000,000, though the condition of the | industry was not good; zinc was produced ;{fi | to the value of over $10,000,000, though it | declined 28 per cent in value as compared with 1899. The copper, lead and zinc pro- | ducts were worth more as metals, by $16,~ uoo;m than ou? gold and silver, as metals, Again the combined values of the pro- -duction of abrasive materials, such as | srindstones, garnets, and so on; of chem- 1cal materials, such as gypsum, phosphate rock, and others; of pigments, such as | metallic paint, white lead, and so on; and of the miscellaneous metallic products, the whole aggregate amounting to about 2,000,000, show that they were worth less, met: or metallic products, than the zold by about $27,000,000, and moro than the silver, as a metal, by $16,000, Further, the comparison of xold and Sii- ver with the structural materials pro- duced—that is. with $i3,000,000 of building stone, $96,000,000 worth of elay products and $13,000,000 of cements; $157,000,000 in all —shows that the structural materials ex- ceeded the gold and silver in value by $42,000, f the commereial value of sil- Ver is taken, and by 000, even if sil- ver is taken at its coining value of §7i,~ 000,000. Applied now to’the great metallic bas of our clvilization, iron and its prodyets rthe comparison becomes still more si ing. Iron ore was produced to within less than $9,000,000 of thelvalue of the gold; and pig iron was produced to a value of nearly $107,000,000 in excess of the coining value of both gold and siiver combined, But the on of the gold and silver output With the output of the mineral fuels, coal, petroleum and natural gas, is the most striking of all, for the comblned gold and silver value is execeeded by the huge sum of wxooo or 000,000 as against These comparisons are the more inter- esting in view of the statements of the Director of the Mint that “two-thirds of the output of silver in the United States, i$_obtained as a by-produgt of mines’ which would be operated no matter what the price of silver might be,” and that in the Cripple Creek district the “reserves (of gola) m sight are enormous.” Another popular DI'EDOB!CS!|DI1 that re- cefves scant courtesy at the hands of the report is in regard to tin. Besides the terse statement under the tabular sum- mary, “Tin—Quantity—None,” tin is only mentioned twice in the volume, once un- der the iron and steel statistics, when the production of tin plates and terne plates to the amount of 302,665 long tons is noted, and again a brief description is given of the “Occurrence of Stream_ Tin in the York Region, Alaska.” the York region Iy~ ing west of Cape Nome. We produced no tin ln this country in 1300. ’nAwson SHOWS MARKED IMPROVEMENT IN MORALS Crusade Against Gambling and Vice in Yukon Capital Has Good Effect. | TACOMA, Feb. %.—Dawson advices state there has been a decided improve= ment in the moral character of the town and its inhabitants within the past few months. This improvement is due in a ! large measure to the stringent regulations as to public gambling and other vices that have been enforced by the authori- ties. Some months ago the edict went forth that the laws against gembling would be more rigidly enforced and fol- lowing the announcement a number of | residents who were known to be profes- sional gamblers and who had no visible means of support were warned that their presence in the country was no longer de- sired. There, was a large movgment of the “blue ticket men™ toward the outside, | and since that time the prevalence of | crime and vice in Dawson has shown a decided slump. | *Earty this month another order was is- | sued to the police authorities to proceed {In the suppression of the -percentage” system. The officers were instructed to arrest and prosecute all who earned their living by frequenting places w!:g;e liquors | are sold and lnducln' men 'Y meet there to purchase drinks. “Box rustling' f is, thos abolished. egira of several hundred miners to Kflyokul and ' Forty fol- ! lowed by a stampede thlumr of numerous ‘mambefs of the sporting element.
