CHEAPER RAW MATERIAL Statistics show that Great Britain is the only country that sends out to the world more leather footwear than the United States. England exports about nine millions of pairs of boots and shoes against six millions from this country, but it appears from the same statistics that our shoes profit the exporters eleven and a half millions, while the British exporters get but ten millions. This would seem to indicate that the American manufacturer with his machinery is the more skillful of the two and of course the most skillful in the world. The American shoe is made by machinery and the cost is the least in the world, although the wage of the operator is the highest. The Manufacturers of Massachusetts declares that if the tariff is taken off of leather and hides, they can outsell the rest of the world, and the biggest manufacturers say that they are willing to forego the tariff on shoes if the tariff on leather and hides is removed. This is the question that is up to Congress. The produced, valued at $445,642 in an average per ton of $38.08, $739,226 in silver, or an average ton of $63.17, a total in gold over of $1,184,868, and an average $101.25 per ton. As compared with the stale for 1906, the figures for 1907 an increase for the five men $1,876,645. The records show production from 229 mines in which 216 were deep, as compared with 154 mines in 1906, of which were deep. In his view of the progress mining industry in Nevada Mr. Yale makes the following comments: “There is a marked diminution in shipping in several important tricts, where mines with large quantities have their own reduction.” “The average value of all kinds ore mined in Nevada was very though lower than it was in 1906; gradual elimination of the leashtem in some of the great mine Goldfield and other camps causes decrease, as these lessees too the best available ore only and companies mine more systems and take the ore as it comes many camps however, the still continue to work, and in most of the camps they are doing the entire work.” “There is an evident desire Goldfield and in other districts drop the high-pressure condition recent years and to reduce In some large productive prop foremen and underground mines being brought in from other districts where they have become accustomed to the economies involved in low-grade ore, in which there is a small profit. In milling, made by machinery and the cost is the least in the world, although the wage of the operator is the highest. The Manufacturers of Massachusetts declares that if the tariff is taken off of leather and hides, they can outsell the rest of the world, and the biggest manufacturers say that they are willing to forego the tariff on shoes if the tariff on leather and hides is removed. This is the question that is up to Congress. The shoe men claim that the duty on hides is for the benefit of the meat trust and that the tariff on leather only adds to the riches of the leather trust. But the meat trust has something to say on the subject. They declare that the tariff adds $3 to the price of every animal that the trust buys from the farmer. It is said that figures do not lie, but it is also said that liars figure. The tariff on hides is only 15 per cent and if that adds $3 to the cost of the bullock, the entire hide should fetch $20. From this it would appear that in some instances the skin is worth more than the beef. The shoe manufacturer is firmly established in the west. St. Louis manufactures an enormous output of boots and shoes, as does Nashville and other cities; while Massachusetts and New England are feeling this western competition and realize that if their shops are to continue in business, they must conquer foreign markets and this is why they are clamoring for cheaper raw materials. The special session of Congress to be called to revise the tariff, will have much to do with making or marring the prosperity of many interests. NEVADA'S METALLIC WEALTH The mines of Nevada produced in 1907 gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc to a total value of $17,591,486, according to a report by Charles G. Yale, just issued by the United States Geological Survey as part of an advance chapter from "Mineral Resources of the United States, Calendar Year 1907." The yield of gold alone was 585,-311.14 fine ounces, valued at $12,099,-455, and the value of the silver, at the entire work. "There is an evident desire Goldfield and in other districts drop the high-pressure condition recent years and to reduce it. In some large productive prop foremen and underground mines being brought in from other districts where they have become accustomed to the economies involved in low-grade ore, in which there is likely a small profit. In milling, careful study is being made by ports to accomplish high extraat low costs and with little waste." "The metallurgists at the 20-mill of the Goldfield Consolidated mines company have made some markedly successful practicaliments in treating sulphides by nide at a greatly reduced cost fact, by September, 1908, the accomplished were so successfully to obviate, probably, the need of shipping sulphide ores to smelting as each mine can treat its own for less than the usual freight alone. The process employed is logical, no mechanical appliances necessary, and the plant is very expensive." CALIFORNIA'S INTEREST IN NATIONAL FORESTS California has a natural interest that part of the report of the Secretary of Agriculture which is devoted to permanent improvements on Government's National Forests. Work as the construction of mill trail, road, telephone lines, drift pasture fences, bridges, ranger es and barns has opened up and proved many square miles of history in the eighteen National Estates in the state and for these similar purposes $85,910.48 was during the fiscal year ending 30, 1908. Five hundred forty-three and fourth miles of trail and 21% of road were built, 490 miles of phone line were strung, and the est ranges were improved by the construction of 49½ miles of par fence and 5½ miles of drift for During the year 61 houses to be for ranger quarters and 28 barns 1907 gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc to a total value of $17,591,486, according to a report by Charles G. Yale, just issued by the United States Geological Survey as part of an advance chapter from "Mineral Resources of the United States, Calendar Year 1907." The yield of gold alone was 585,-311.14 fine ounces, valued at $12,099,-455, and the value of the silver, at the average commercial price for the year was $4,675,178. The combined value of the gold and silver was $16,774,-633, an increase over that of 1906 of $1,767,619. Less than $1,000,000 of the state total came from the combined value of the copper, lead, and zinc. There was an increase in tonnage of all kinds of ore mined. Out of a total of 723,581 tons, 628,501 tons were siliceous ore, of which Nye county produced 241,677 tons and Tonopah 214,357 tons. The average value per ton of siliceous ore in gold and silver was $25; of copper ores, $6.65; of lead ores, $9.86; of copper-lead ores, $16.87; of copper-lead-zinc ores, $25.81; and the average value per ton of all kinds of ore was $23.10. During 1907 the gold and silver mills treated 436,779 tons of ore, from which were saved $2,785,634 in gold, or an average per ton of $6.38, and $1,400,039 in silver, or an average per ton of $3.20; a total value in gold and silver of $4,185,673 and an average per ton of $9.58. From 436,779 tons treated at gold and silver mills and from 16,569 tons of copper lead, and zinc ores sent to concentrating mills, a total of both classes of mills of 453,348 tons, 11,-702 tons of concentrates were pro- during the fiscal year ending March 30, 1908. Five hundred forty-three and fourth miles of trail and 21¼ mile of road were built, 490 miles of phone line were strung, and the best ranges were improved by the construction of 49½ miles of pavement and 5½ miles of drift fence. During the year 61 houses to be for ranger quarters and 28 barns/rangers' horses were built, 14 bridges were constructed, 4 watering ponds on the range were improved and numerous miscellaneous improvements were made. In speaking of the manent improvement work on all National Forests, the Secretary Agriculture has the following to in his annual report: "The agricultural appropriation of 1908 included an item of $500 which was made available for permanent improvement work on the national Forests. The object of this work is to help open up the Forest to more use and provide means their better and more economical protection through the supply of materials communication and transportation well-located field quarters, fire lences to assist in the handling stock, and watering places. The improvements are essentially invents of capital, which add greatly to the value and usefulness of forests. "The work completed during this year included 3,400 miles of trunk 3200 miles of telephone lines,100 miles of wagon road, 40 miles of fire lences 250 bridges, 530 cabins and barns, 600 miles of pasture and drift fence." ed at $445,642 in gold, or per ton of $38.08, and at silver, or an average per 77, a total in gold and silver, or an average per ton. Shared with the statistics the figures for 1907 show for the five metals of the records show pro-229 mines in 1907, of which were deep, as compared mines in 1906, of which 142 low of the progress of the industry in Nevada in 1907 makes the following state: a marked diminution of in several important disminutes with large outputs their own reduction plants. age value of all kinds of Nevada was very high, more than it was in 1906. The termination of the leasing sys of the great mines of other camps caused the lessees took out available ore only and the mine more systematically ore as it comes. In however, the lessees have to work, and in some they are doing almost work. an evident desire at held in other districts to high-pressure conditions of and to reduce costs. Large productive properties underground miners are not in from other districts, have become accustomed families involved in mining, in which there is on-profit. In milling, also, the special-improvement fund, over $100,000 from the general fund of the Service was turned from the current expenses to defray the cost of this work, but much of the work planned and urgently needed could not be carried out because there was nothing with which to pay for it. "Detailed estimates covering a total of $2,000,000 for permanent improvements, which it was desired to complete in 1909, were submitted to the Congress. They showed for the entire amount exactly what it was proposed to undertake on each National Forest, and at what cost. The amount provided by the appropriation was $600,000. For 1910 estimates will again be submitted for permanent improvements, the cost of which aggregate $974,981. These estimates are the result of specific and fully itemized plans, which are on file in the Forest Service. They are in no sense a request for a lump sum, the spending of which remains to be planned in detail after appropriation is made. It is of urgent importance that this work should be provided for. Though the construction of permanent improvements entails the need of provision for their maintenance, the added efficiency of the Forests as economic resources secured through these improvements richly repays the cost. With the National Forests as with any other resources, their returns depend on the extent to which the development takes place through judicious outlays of capital. If the land is not to remain a wilderness it must be made serviceable to the needs of civilized man by constructive expenditures."

Stetson’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” is the mammoth production of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” which will appear on Sunday evening, Jan. 3, at the Opera House, Anaheim. The rendition of fourth-three and one-fifth of trail and 21¼ miles built, 490 miles of tele-restrung, and the Forge improved by the construction 49½ miles of pasture and 14 miles of drift fence. Six 61 houses to be used apartments and 28 barns for farms were built, 14 bridges added, 4 watering places were improved and variegated improvements on speaking of the permanent work on all the rests, the Secretary of State following to say report: natural appropriation acted an item of $500,000 made available for permanent work on the Napa Valley. The object of this trip open up the Forests and provide means for more economical production in the supply of means on and transportation, old quarters, fire lines, etc. In the handling of watering places. These are essentially investigational, which add greatly and usefulness of the completed during the 3,400 miles of trails, telephone lines,100 miles of 40 miles of fire line, cabins and barns, and sturge and drift fences. The sum provided by Loara $459.72, La Habra $15.40, Orange $973.12, Placentia $763.86. The total amount of the first installment of taxes used for school purposes is $78,772.94. Stetson's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is the mammoth production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" which will appear on Sunday evening, Jan. 3, at the Opera House, Anaheim. The rendition of Uncle Tom by this well-known and well-liked company will never grow old. This management evidently believes in the maxim: "What's worth doing is worth doing well." There runs through this grand story a pathos peculiarly touching and sweet. It speaks the universal language of the heart. It reflects like a mirror the innermost emotions of the human mind. It is more than a play—it is a moral classic. It argues for two of the greatest themes that can engage the mind—human liberty and the immortality of the soul. Notwithstanding the frequent production of this play, it is never produced in the sumptuous manner by other companies as it is in Stetson's. It is like meeting an old friend after a year's absence. In his theatric offering, Manager Washburn has brought together all the requisites that go to make up a really great production and one it will be a great loss to miss.
