Washington, Sept. 1, Consul Wake
field of Ortllla, Canada, says the devel
opment of Cobalt camp as a stiver dis
trict has been exceedingly rapid. In
1905 and 106 a tremendous amount of
prospecting and development work was
done, and the vast value of shipments
placed Cobalt In Its position as one of
the world's rich silver districts.
In 1804 there were four shipping
mines, the output being ISO tons of
ore, valued at $116,218. In 1806 there
were additional mines which shipped
ore, Ui total output amounting to 4.H4
tons, valued at 11.468,624. In 1906
many other properties sent out ore
shipments totaling 6.129 tons, valued at
(S.600,000. The actual production of the
camp was much greater, as large quan
HHes' f ere -were stared on - several
properties. Most of the ore is shipped
to the smelters near New York. Ore
which in any other camp would be con
sidered high rrade is thrown in dumrje l

Mrs. Smith refused to discuss the

explain itself as to "criminally Insane,"
but Prosecuting Attorney Kenneth
Mackintosh and other lawyers who have

that It is only the convicted insane that
