GROWTH OF THE
COPPER INDUSTRY
United 8tates Produces More
Than All the Rest of the
World
The growth of the copper in
dustry in the United States has
been notable, according to the
llgures of the United State (Sco
logical Survey. In 1850 t lie pro
duction was 1,45G,()00 pounds; in
1870 it was 28,225,000 pounds; iu
1890 it was 259,7G3,092 pounds;
in 1900 it had increased to 000,
117,100 pounds; in 1905 it was
901,907,8 43 pounds; and in 1909
it passed the billion mark with
1,092,951,02 i pounds, decreasing
in 1910, however, to 1,080,159,
509 pounds. The price has de
creased from over 40 cents per
pound in civil war times to an
average of 12.7 cents a pound
in 1910.
Tin' United Slab's is by far I in'
largest copper producer in Hi"
world; in fad, \vc produce more

QUARANTINE LAWS
FOR ALASKA
Steps Are Being Taken to Guard
the .Health of the
Territory
Washington, Jr'e.h. HI.—Since
his arrival in Washington, wher«i
he came on •official -business,
(Jovernor Clark and officials of
the Tr.asury department have
been searching for Home means,
under lhe present law, of estab
lishing and maintaining quaran
tines in AJaska, and ol enforcing
sanitary and public health regu
lations such as are enforced else
where. At first it was thought
that there was do present legal
means of dealing wdLfe (these mat
ters and that it would be neces
sary to look to owmgress for
special legislation. The -urgency
of the situation was -emphasized
last summer when travel into
Alaska was delayed and serious
epidemics threatened on acoount
of the smallpox cases in Daw
son and in the Canadian Porcu
pine country, as well as by the
prevalence of dangerous diseases
in nearly all the native villages.
It has now been found that un
der a broad construction of cer
tain existing laws, it will be pos
sible to establish quarantines
promptly at any point in Alasko
whore occasion may aris<*. Thus
commercc anil industry, as wHI
as the protection of human life
agoinst contagious diseases will
he protected. It has also l»een
found possible to stnlion in Alas
ka an Important officer who will
perform all Ihe duties and have
all the authority of a territorinl
commissioner of health,, a part
of whose duties, with the co-op
eration of several assistants sta
tioned in the principal towns, will
he to enforce a simple sol.'of san
itary regulations. These reputa
tion* will not conflict with any
which may have been promulKot
ed by Ihe local authorities in in
corporated towns. Details of the
plan ore now being worked out at
conferences hetwoen tho Troos
'.iry department and Governor
Clark.

MANY REMEDIES.
I have a spavin mi my knee,
ami when I In? weather's damp it
causes so much misery I fiml it
hard to tramp- And when for
remedies I beg, between my an
guished screams, one healer says:
"You have no leg—you're merely
|dreaming dreams. And since you
have no lejr. my* friend, no spavin
is thereon; so let your idle. rant-.
inkrs end, and to your lair begone."
Another healer who has strain,
where doctors should have, brain,
says: "Let me at it with my saw,
and ril relieve your pain." "In
ternal remedies," says one, "will
make that spavin fade," 41ml then
he brews about a ton of spark
ling skuukrootade. "A flaxseed
poultice," says one leech, "your
anguish will allay;" and it's so
"hot folks hear me screech ten
parasangs away. Another would
I a blister use, still other gifted
j men insist that powders in my
shoes will make me whole again.
I And so 1 limp along my path in
sore and grievous plight, and in
