OUR MINERAL RESOURCES EXHAUSTION OF SUPPLY PROBLEM CONFRONTING PEOPLE Waste in Mining Coal Loses Half as Much as Is Marketed—Water Power Will Replace It—Situation as to Petroleum More Serious—Metals The report of the National Conservation Commission of 1908, showing the reckless manner in which our natural resources are being wasted, finds an echo in a bulletin (No. 394) just issued by the United States Geological Survey, in which are reprinted the papers on mineral resources contributed by members of that Survey to the conservation report. The data on which these papers are based were not obtained especially for the occasion, but were taken from the files of the Survey, where they had been accumulating for years. Taken together they present a state of affairs that may well awaken reflection. Coal is considered first, and it is shown that waste in mining loses forever about one-half as much as is marketed. This half is either left in the ground in thin beds or in the shape of pillars to support the roof. Coal has been extensively mined in the United States for not much more than half a century, but the consumption is increasing so enormously that if this increase should continue all the easily accessible coal would be exhausted by the year 2040 and all coal by the middle of the twenty-first century. It will, of course, not continue at such a rate, for the increasing scarcity will raise prices and check consumption. Water power within a few weeks. We of the railroad world judge the prosperity of the nation as much by the number of idle cars as anything else. Through out the last year there have been thousands of idle cars, but they will soon be rolling about the country filled with freight." ROCK ISLAND TO THE SEA Outlet to Southern California is Being Sought Is the Rock Island at last to be given an outlet to Southern California and the Pacific Coast? The El Paso & Southwestern has recently increased its capital from $17,000,000 to $25,000,000, and it is reported that the additional eight millions are for the purpose of extending the line from Benson, Ariz., its present terminus, to Yuma. Coming soon after work has begun on the building of the Spreckels line from San Diego east to Yuma, the report gives weight to the belief that the long-reported opening for the Rock Island to the coast is about to be provided. The Rock Island has its own lines as far as Santa Rosa, N. M., but from there it reaches El Paso over the lines of the El Paso & Southwestern, which is owed by the Phelps-Dodge interests. The Rock Island has been running its trains into El Paso for several years, but from there to Los Angeles its Golden State Limited, starting from Chicago, has come over the tracks of the Southern Pacific. The Phelps-Dodge interests have another line running from El Paso west to Benson, and it is this line which, it is reported, will be extended to Yuma. Reports from Phoenix state posi- Coal has been extensively mined in the United States for not much more than half a century, but the consumption is increasing so enormously that if this increase should continue all the easily accessible coal would be exhausted by the year 2040 and all coal by the middle of the twenty-first century. It will, of course, not continue at such a rate, for the increasing scarcity will raise prices and check consumption. Water power will undoubtedly largely take its place. With regard to petroleum the situation is a good deal more serious. Petroleum has been used for less than fifty years, and it is estimated that the supply will last only about twenty-five or thirty years longer. If production is curtailed and waste stopped it may last till the end of the century. The most important effects of its disappearance will be in the lack of lubricants and in the loss of illuminants. Animal and vegetable oils will not begin to supply its place. This being the case, the reckless exploitation of oil fields and the consumption of oil for fuel should be checked. In natural gas the waste is enormous; 1,000,000,000 cubic feet are estimated to be wasted into the air every twenty-four hours. The gas supply will last about twenty-five years—about as long as it has already been utilized. Jon is very abundant in nature, but usually is found in ores so poor that it can not be extracted at any reasonable cost. The best ores are being rapidly worked and it is estimated that within thirty years they will have been exhausted and that it will be necessary to resort to ores that can not now be worked at a profit. This, of course, means higher prices unless new and much cheaper processes shall have been invented. Gold, silver, and zinc are all so abundant that the supply is likely to last for centuries. Copper is also abundant, but is largely in low-grade ores which can not now be profitably worked. At increased prices, however, the supply will probably be abundant. For lead, however, the outlook is much less favorable. Its production in the United States is still increasing slightly, but is decreasing elsewhere in the world, and this despite a marked increase in prices. Probably the island has been running its trains into El Paso for several years, but from there to Los Angeles its Golden State Limited, starting from Chicago, has come over the tracks of the Southern Pacific. The Phelps-Dodge interests have another line running from El Paso west to Benson, and it is this line which, it is reported, will be extended to Yuma. Reports from Phoenix state positively that the road will be built, and will go through that city, placing it on a direct transcontinental line. The work on the Spreckels line has just been started within the last few weeks. Grading now is in progress on the first section, extending from Tia Juana. From there the line will run east along the international border, tapping the Imperial country, and extending to Yuma. It has been reported that Harriman has strings on the Spreckels line, but this has never been confirmed; neither has it been denied. If the Rock Island ever reaches San Diego, it probably will not delay long before extending to Los Angeles, or making arrangements to run its trains into that city over some other road. Heretofore the Rock Island has contented itself with covering the Middle West. In fact, it covers practically the whole Mississippi valley, except that along the Ohio. Allied with it are the Frisco and the Chicago & Eastern Illinois. It reaches to Chicago and to the Indiana line on the east, to the Twin Cities and to South Dakota on the north, to Denver and Colorado Springs on the west, to El Paso on the southwest, to Forth Worth and Louisiana on the south, and to Birmingham, Ala., on the southeast. Its extension to the coast will be a new departure which has been forecasted for years. WED IN MORTUARY VAULT White Girl and Japanese Have Difficulty in Getting Married NEW YORK, July 15.—Wed in the mortuary vault of an undertaking company Friday night, Kress Koyama, a wealthy young Japanese, and Mary Louise Bellback-Koyama, his 22-year-old Caucasian bride, set out on their honeymoon Saturday, serenely happy.

At increased prices, however, the supply will probably be abundant. For lead, however, the outlook is much less favorable. Its production in the United States is still increasing slightly, but is decreasing elsewhere in the world, and this despite a marked increase in prices. Probably the world's output has already reached a maximum and will henceforth decline. The phosphates, it is estimated, will be exhausted in about twenty-five years, and the farmer will then have to look elsewhere for fertilizers. Fresh supplies of all these materials may, of course, be found, but (except for gold) it seems unlikely that they will be great enough or valuable enough to materially affect the estimates. Bulletin 394 can be had, free of charge, from the Director, U. S. Geological Survey, Washignton, D. C. HILL PREDICTS PROSPERITY WAVE WASHINGTON, July 15.—"As soon as the tariff is out of the way," said James J. Hill, the railroad magnate, who yesterday was one of President Taft's callers, "this country will enjoy a prosperity which will at least equal if it does not surpass that which it knew under the McKinley administration. "Last month I traveled through the west and I never saw such activity among the farmers. Everywhere I made inquiry and learned and saw that crops were abundant and the farmers were satisfied. Signs of the financial depression of 1907 are fast fading. Freight cars will be at a premium WED IN MORTUARY VAULT White Girl and Japanese Have Difficulty in Getting Married NEW YORK, July 15.—Wed in the mortuary vault of an undertaking company Friday night, Kress Koyama, a wealthy young Japanese, and Mary Louise Bellback-Koyama, his 22-year-old Caucasian bride, set out on their honeymoon Saturday, serenely happy. The fact that the ceremony had been performed amid the sable hangings of a mortuary chapel had not detracted one lota from her happiness. "We went to more than twenty ministers before we could find one who would marry us. They were of almost every denomination," said the slim blonde bride of the brown little Jap, "but the moment they saw Mr. Koyama they refused to perform the ceremony. Mr. Koyama is a Methodist and I am a Roman Catholic, but most of the objections were not on the ground of our difference in religion, but because I am a Caucasian and Kress is an Oriental. "Finally a friend told Kress that we could probably be married at the undertaking establishment. When we got there we learned that five marriages had been performed in the mortuary chapel within the last week. One of the undertakers said he would not have any difficulty in getting a clergyman to marry us, and telephoned at once to the Rev. Henry Marsh Warren, who I think is pretty widely known as the marrying hotel chapain. Mr. Warren hurried over to the mortuary chapel and married us. Then we came home to mother."

ANAHEIM GAZETTE CAUSTIC CRITICISMS Indiana rural counties are still going dry; it makes such a demand for buttermilk. An ordinance in Chicago prescribes that awnings must be raised to provide room for women's hats. This chivalric act should be supplemented by one to widen the sidewalks. Women's hats must be removed and checked on the dancing floor of the excursion steamboats, although this might deprive the owners from floating ashore on them if there is a disaster. Forty Illinois farmers have announced their intention of emigrating to the land of the Mysterious Stranger; who is no longer mysterious or a stranger. High-heeled shoes make void any claim for damages if the wearer is injured by falling; there might be room for special accident insurance. Nobody hears of Theodore getting a gnat in his eye. It would have to be a humming bird before he would know it was there. Legislation having now dissolved into thin air, there is also a marked cessation of hot air. Some newspaper writers believe it is better to make people laugh than to make them think—and it is a great deal easier; for almost everybody can laugh. Rift in the polar cap of Mars came about the same time that our polar rift came—when we dodged the last frost. "Summer will blow in on the wings of one of these winds some day," says the newspaper editor; and then roars on how the hot weather will begin to "blow out" in the same old way. Roosevelt brings down the $1 a word as unerringly as a lion or a phoenix. WONDERFUL WEALTH OF THE UNITED STATES We have today 80,000,000 of people, occupying 3,000,000 square miles of territory, and they own $120,000,000,000 of wealth. On farms valued at $25,000,-000,000 we produce annually agricultural products valued at $8,000,000,000. It is nothing that we produce annually 2,500,000,000 bushels of corn and 11,-000,000 bales of cotton. If there is no demand for the corn and cotton and if the demand is not at a fair return. But we have the market. 5,500,000 of people who produce $15,000,000,000 of manufactured products annually and receive in wages $230,000,000 make the market. These figures apply only to finished product. We get the products to the consumer by 250,000 miles of railroad, which is three times the railroad mileage of Great Britain. France and Germany combined. When side tracks are taken into account, we have more railroad mileage than all the rest of the world. On these railroads we have 100,000 engines carrying millions of cars and hauling 2,000,000,000 tons of freight. This practically equals all the tonnage carried by all railroads and all the ships of all the rest of the world. This monstrous task is performed by 5,500,000 of employees who are yearly paid $2,300,000 and this vast business is conducted by $150,000,000,000 of bank clearances. Do we prosper? Only two decades ago we were second to Great Britain in the output of iron and steel. Today our output equals all the rest of the world. We live well and have happy homes, filled with comforts and luxuries. Yet we are a saving people. We have in savings banks $3,500,000,000, in national banks $4,500,ooo,ooo and in state banks $5,ooo-ooo,ooo-in all, $13,ooo,ooo,ooo. The per capita of money in the country is larger than in any other save one. France, and amounts to $35 each of our 8o,ooo,ooo people. The business of the country amounts to over $3,ooo,ooo,ooo annually. How we do such monstrous business future for the business of growing eucalyptus in California, and fair returns may be expected, but success or failure will depend on whether the situation for planting has been chosen where all the peculiar requirements of the species can be met. "As the different species of eucalyptus vary in their quality and growth, so they also vary in their requirements for successful propagation, and it is only as those requirements are studied and met that success can be attained." While excalypts are being raised in some portions of Arizona, New Mexico and Florida, it is stated that they do not attain the same perfection that they do on the Pacide coast.

Roosevelt brings down the $1 a word as unerringly as a lion or a rhinoceros. Whiskey at $4 a gallon has been given to the municipal horses of New York; and this is superior to the sort they are reputed to sell on Broadway. Among the other terrible disasters that never happened was the Patten rise in the price of bread. President Taft insists on one thing—and that is, in not getting “het up” over other people’s troubles. Visiting investigator of labor conditions in this country says, that while wages are higher here, living expenses are equally higher. One might think, also, that it is worth something merely to live in America. It is not surprising that Roosevelt and Kermit endure the climate of Africa so well; they lived a long time in Washington. Theodore peppers away at the carnivora in Africa totally unconscious of the uproar of humanitarianism at home; but he expected sympathy for the lions. Since we have the aeroplane, dirigible balloons interest us about as much as velocipedes. INDULGING A GROUCH Many will enter into sympathy with the frame of mind of Mr. Stix of St. Louis who, looking over the passenger list of the steamer on which he was to sail for Europe, saw the names of many or mis fellow-citizens and said: “Pretty good company; couldn’t be better under ordinary conditions. But I do think a fellow is entitled to go away once a year and be his natural self. I’ve been waiting for this trip to give vent to a grouch. That’s my normal condition—grouchy. Here I’ve posed as an amiable chap for a whole year, in the hope of being able to indulge my grouch for a few months; but I suppose as there’s such a host of good people aboard I shall have to put equals all the rest of the world. We’ve well and have happy homes, filled with comforts and luxuries. Yet we are a saving people. We have in savings banks $3,500,000,000, in national banks $4,500,000,000 and in state banks $5,000,000,000-in all, $13,000,000,000. The per capita of money in the country is larger than in any other save one, France, and amounts to $35 each of our 80,000,000 people. The business of the country amounts to over $3,000,000,000 annually. How we do such monstrous business which is also profitable? It is because we have confidence in ourselves and the other nations of the globe have confidence in us. HELIOGRAPHS TO BE USED ON NATIONAL FORESTS Experiments will be made during the summer with the standard heliographs which are now used in the War Department for signaling on the National Forests. One of these experiments will be made on the Kanikeu National Forest in Idaho, and the other on the Stanislaus Forest, in California. It is intended to discover whether these instruments will be of use on National Forests to report fires or transmit other messages in areas where there is no quick method of communication. The conditions of climate and latitude, as well as the species of inflammable trees in the two forests are sufficiently different to determine whether the instrument is suited to some localities and not to others. Easy and quick communication to all parts of a forest must be had if fire is kept down. Anyone who knows of the fearful damage wrought by forest fires on private and unprotected lands each year, will easily see that through fire patrol, use of telephone lines and other means of communication such as is maintained on the 195 million acres contained in the National Forests, the losses can be reduced to a minimum. For the administration and protection of the 148 National Forests in nineteen states and territories and Alaska, the Government spent $2,526,-098 o2, or about one and one half cents an acre for the calendar year 1908. Of this amount $592,169.19 was spent for permanent improvements including the construction of 3,400 miles of trails, 100 miles of wagon roads, 3,200 miles of telephone lines and forty miles of fire lines. EUCALYPTUS FOR PROFIT Extravagant and exaggerated statements concerning the profits to be expected from eucalyptus growing serve as a text for a warning by the forest EUCALYPTUS FOR PROFIT Extravagant and exaggerated statements concerning the profits to be expected from eucalyptus growing serve as a text for a warning by the forest service. The truth about eucalyptus culture is sufficient without resorting to circus poster exaggeration. The growing of eucalyptus under proper conditions, says a forest official, promises to be exceedingly lucrative, but the highly colored statements of some of those who are engaged merely in the speculative end of the business may deceive some persons who do not figure results for themselves. "The eucalyptus family," says a statement of the forest service, "is an exceedingly numerous one, capable of thriving under conditions inimical to other forest trees, but it should be borne in mind that to be commercially successful the eucalyptus requires certain unvarying conditions. For instance, it is practically impossible to grow any of the species of eucalyptus now common in California in localities subject to heavy frosts. "Again, while it is true that eucalypts require only a comparatively small amount of moisture, yet their growth and commercial value depend largely upon the amount of that moisture. After the trees have obtained a sufficient footing they will continue to grow even on land which is so poor as to be unattractive to other forms of forest growth; but, on the other hand, they will not reach any great state of development, and the investor would be required to wait comparatively long periods before a return could be expected from them."

It gets straight to the business place, and works without wasting energy on go-between contrivances. It isn't the steady drive that wears out a machine, but the jerking and wrenching of slipping belts, wabbling pulleys, and richety shaftings. People are changing engines for motors!
