Tim Hoaiestako mine, located at

same wages but longer hours than
other western miners whose labor
disturbances are 11 sensational part

Weather Reports Save Money.
In spite of the standing jokes
about the weather mail it is prob
able that for every dollar spent 011
tho weather bureau, 10 are saved.
At tho time of tho Mississippi llood
of 1H07, $15,000,000 worth of live
stock and other property was saved
as a result or warnings issued a

a single hurricano have detained in

I'or A Department
l'le.-udeLt Ronjainin, of the
Cali
fornia Miners' association, delivered
a powerful address before the
Trans-Missippi Comeicial congress
last week in Portland. His theme
was one that is lapi liy winning
friends, and when set forth with
such convincing arguments as those
at the command of this brilliant
worker for the mining industry, is
assured redoub'ed progress.
Mr. Henjatnin makes comparison
in the work performed by this gov
ernment to prove that mining has
been
neglected. He is equally
' ready to establish that the impor
I tance of the industry is not realized
or appreciated, and no opportunity
l's passed to set before the world the
maguitude of mineral woik. After
listening to th arguments of Mr.
d Covert
ing mines in the Hutto district are
yielding more ore at present than
ever before in the history of the
district, and the value of the ore
per ton h is also been increasing
lately. The Amalgamated com
panies hive been especially success
ful and prosperous. Whether due
to that fact or not it is true that
since John I). Ryan has been at
the head ol Amalgamated affairs in
Montana conditions have been con
stantly improving. A very great
measure of the prosperity of Amal
gamated in Montana is due to Mr.
Ryan's management. The com
pany has been devoting itself strict
ly to mining and smelting, while
the disastrous litigation which ha.s
been going on for years has been
allowed to rest. The prosperous
state of Amalgamated has had an
influence on the whole district and
every lino of business, and Butte
has never in its history known
such a prosperous period as it is
exicrif iicing now. There is un
usual activity in copper mining,
and many new mines are being de
veloped, while a number of new
and important mining enterprises
are in course of organization.

Alaska Custom Receipts.
A statement of the custom re
cepits in Alaska for the past fiscal
years shows that $1!,824,182 gold
was shipped from the northern ter
ritory belonging to the United
.States and the Dominion of Canada.
This does not represent the entire
output, as a largo tpjantity of gold
is taken out annually
whicu is not reported to the
custom authoriies. Only a part of
ti e Tanana district clean-up for
l'JOl is represented in these figures.
CT
as gold from that new region had
not commenced to move very heav
ily at the tine of the expiration of
the fiscal year, June 30.
Several thousand pounds of mer
cury or quicksilver are used yearly
in this country in medicines. Mer
cury triturated with some other sub
stance forms most valuable medir
cines and their use produces specific
mercurial effects local and coustitu
tionaj. Such compounds are blue
mass (blue pill,) mercury with
chalk (gray powder,) mercurial
ointment and mercurial plaster. All
mercurial compounds entering the
circulation have a peculiar influence
over nutaition. This ia specially
true of the salts of mercury, such
as mercurous chloride or calomel,
mercuric chloride or corrosive sub
limate aud mercurious iodide or
green iodide of mercury. They are
known upwards of a hundred medi
cal compositions in which mercury
forms a part. Mercury absorbed
by the system as in cases of miners
in tpuicksilver mines is a violent
poison.
