Under the influence of a lower range of prices for lead, assisted in the Rocky Mountain districts, by low returns for the accompanying silver, says Charles Kirchhoff, in his report to the United States Geological Survey on the pro duction of lead in 1902, now in press, the lead-mining industry did not prosper in 1902 as much as other branches of met al mining. The principal cause was that in the previous years a very large stock of lead has accumulated. This was successfully worked off in 1902, ^hich was a year of enormous consump tion in all the metals. The stock of lead, which was 53,733 short tons at the beginning of the year had been car ried down to 11,595 tons at its close. Under the circumstances the fact that the production wasabout as large in 1902 as it was in 1901 is encouraging but there has been some shifting of the ter ritorial source of production. Relatively the Mississippi region has gained in im portance, showing an increase in out put at the expense of the Rocky Moun tain districts, which declined in produc tion. The domestic prp^uction in 1902 was 210,000 short tons, as against 270,700 aiiMa n y s e i s needn't bar Falcon pancakes, because the wheat, corn, rye combination rests well on the stomach and is readily digested. alcorv Self-Rising Pancake Flour is the muscle-making, brain-helping kind of food.

CARPENTBR, short tons in 1901, and 270,824 shorty tons' in 1900. The production of refined lead in the United States in 1892, Ir respective of the source from which it was drawn, amounted to 377,061 short tons, as against 381,688 short tons in' 1901. v The apparent home consumption Of lead in 1902 was 335,485 short tons, as against 274,020 $696,010, short tons in 1901, and 269,302 short tons in 1902. The domes tic consumption was greater than ever before in the history, of the country. The total value of imported and en tered for consumption in this country in 1902 was $648,063, as against $364,459, in 1901, and $702,213 in 1900. The total value of the lead exports in 1902 was as against $624,534 in 1901',' and $459,571 in 1900. In January, 1902, the American' Smelting and Refining Company ad vanced the price of lead from 4 cents, which had been named in December, 1901, to 4.10 ccnts for moderate lots. At that price the metal was held during the remainder of the year. ONE FARE PLUS $2.
