ts snow BIG OUTPUT FOR LAST YEAR

-The mid-year review of mining conditions reported to the secretary of the interior on July 1 by the director of the United States geological survey, is well supported by the preliminary reports for the year submitted today. The geological survey is making public Its usual estimate of mineral, production for 1915 in the form of a separate statement for each of the more important mineral products. A review of these statements confirms Secretary Lane's comment of last July to the effect that the mining revival is in full swing. In the west ern states akme the metal production shows an increase in value of more than $180,000K0 over the corresponding figures for 1914; and the rear's Increase , in output for the principal metals measured In value Is more than $250,000,000. Moreover, It is not unreasonable to expect that when the full- returns for all mineral products are compiled they, will show that 1915 was the country's most productive year in the mining Industry. The total may even reach two and one-half billion dollars. In the response to bettered conditions the production figures for cop per, iron and zinc show, the largest increase. The copper mines passed all records for previous years, the 1915 output having a value of $236,000,000. or $83, 000.000 more than the value of the production for 1914: The statistics and estimates received place the output of blister and lake copper at 1,365,000,000 pounds, or more than 120.000,000 in excess of the largest previous produc tion and eighteen per cent above last year's figures. Only twice In the history of copper mining has there been a larger Increase In quantity of metal produced. The production of bituminous coal ami anthracite In 1915 Is estimated to have increased between four and five million short tons, or Toss than 1 per cent The quantity of bituminous coal mined increased about six ana one half millions tons and that of anthra cite decreased over two million short tone. Owing mainly to steady demands for export coal and for coke for steel making, the output in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky and Alabama Increased over last year, but little chance Is recorded In other east ern states. The region west of Ohio, Including the Mississippi Valley, shows a general decrease, Colorado be ing the only western state to show betterment. . MARION L. JOHNSON WEDS MAY C.

CRASHING OF SNOW FRIGHTENS WOMEN Shortly before 10 o'clock yesterday people living within a block or two of the high school were startled by crash that sounded like a building falling or an explosion. Frightened women ran to their front doors and looked about in vain for the cause of the disturbance and pedestrians ducked, thinking something was about to fall on them. The Ice on the high school tower thawed and hundreds of pounds of it struck the roof of the building with a resounding noise. No damage was done. CONNERSVILLE HACK LINE DEFIES STORM The ConnersvlUe hack line made Its regular trip Wednesday being an hour late. E. I. Taylor and Q. T. Lyon who drove the machine reported that there were a great number of telephone poles down and that the trees along the road were damaged. There was one stretch of twenty poles lying on the ground Mr. Taylor said. As the hack approached the Centerville bridge the men received a bad scare. There was a tremendous crash ahead of them and they thought the bridge had fallen, but on getting nearer they found that the ice on the girders had thawed and fallen lntr the river. I
