The fol- lowing winter was exceedingly severe, and it was with great difficulty that the snow, fallen | to a depth of twenty to thirty feet, was kept from crushing down the houses. When win- | ter's severity abated, immigration began | Streeh, and the number of people coming to the camp in the early part of 1867 was es- | timated. ar about five thousand. Excitement now attained its topmost height. Town lots Advanced to several thousand dollars each, and common wocden shantles rented for as uch & $200 a month. Several sawmills were started, and supplied rough lumber at a price iof $75 & thousand feet.

I’I’ODLUI‘IOV OF OILS. .- The Staté Geologist of Indiana. has prépared a report of the oil produc- tion of indiana, which ‘will interest the “oil prmh!(-‘rs of California. The oil in- d is of .great importance to Indi- ana. The -output in 1903 was 9,177,722 barrels, the average price for which was $1 14 a barrel, sp that the market value of the' quantity mentioned was $10,476,369. . Petroleum in commercial quantities was produced in Indi- Aana first in 1889, when the product Gas and ofl are found in’. paying quantities only at depths rangm-’ from 500 feet to 1600 feet. The United. States' Geological Survey reports the output of petroleum in'sev- eral States in 1903 as follows: Califor- nia, 24,382.472 barrels: "Ohio, 20,480,286; West Virginia, -12,899,395; Pennsyl- vania, 11,255,156; New York, 1,162,978 THE MINING MUSEUM.

The Mining, Bureau maintains a lihrary that is supplied with more than 100 qurrent publications.
