supposed today that capture had been

postOffice on the I'D inst. At the bur-
glary committed the Government lost
$l25 in stamps, and today Robert Viii
lamella, Jesus Ramon Lopez, and Jesus
Antonio Lopez we're taken into custody
on the charge of being the robbers. The
only evidence against thenQ was the
confession Of Villamella, that he Saw
the Lopez boys commit the robbery.
Further evidence showed that four
masked men had taken him out, tied
his hands, and brutally hanged him t.
tree three times, until he was nearly
dead. To avoid being murdered he
said what he did. The Justice promptly
discharged the prisoners. They claim
to identify the four men who commit

others. They swOre to complaint

The greater part of this coal went to
San Francisco, more than nine tenths
of it; the remainder being marketed at
Portland.
The shipments from the Renton
mines show an increase over 1881 of
1O,062 tons, the shipments from the Sc
attic mine showing decrease of 6,O62
tons, the two mines together showing an
increase of just 1900 tons. The decrease
of the Seattle mines product was ep-
parent and not real. The company con-
trolling it has monopoly of the home
trade, which, as compared with 1881.
must show an increase of at least 30
per cent. Sales here to the steamers of
the o. X. & N. Co.; q. S. steamers; for
consumption in Olympia and other out
side towns: in Seattle itself, etc., all by
this one company, must have aggregated
the past year about 1900 tons, against
not over 10000 the year before, and tho
whole output of both mines must have
been in the neighborhood of 10000
tons.
Going back to the beginning of our
coal trade we find the exports, by ship,
of the past twelve years to have been as
hetOW stated.

THE COMING ROAD.

Two Eastern Oregon papers of late
date speak as follows Of the Oregon
Short Line:
Grande Ronde Post: 1--WE think it
doubtful whether there has or will be a
compromise between the o. II. d N. and
Short Line roads. The Union Pacific
has for long time been compelled to
pay tribute to the Central Pacific, and
Jay Gould, We believe, instigated the
Short Line from this fact. II is not at
all likely he would build road through
six or seven hundred miles of rocky
country with the sole object of putting
himself on an equal footing with the q.
II. 4 N. for the business west of Baker
City only. II seems to rs il is his evi-
dent intention to come farther, tap
Washington Territory, and in due time
the waters Of Puget Sound, thereby con-
trolling the trade that has been monOp-
olixed hitherto BY the Central Pacific
railroad.

Grand total. 1,O27, ,976 tons

IrauU tOtal.. LUZ, $40 tOnS.
OF this enormous quantity of coal
101, ,663 tons were from tho mines at
Renton and Talbot, and the remainder
all from the mine at Newcastle.
As in other lines of trade the prospects
for 1888 are good. The country to the
east is being opened to us,in which is to
be found an illimitable demand for
coal and other products of this region.
The capacity is here, without opening
more mines, for the production OF 2OO,-
600 tons of coal during the coming year,
and it will not be surprising if that
quantity is mined.
From Bellingnam Bay and Tacoma
about 425,0 900 tons of coal have been
shipped since the beginning of mining
at those plaoes-at the former twenty
five years since, and at the latter Ave
years. The whole quantity of coal SO
far.mined in the Territory has been
about 1,450, 900 tons.
Seattle daily post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, W.T. [Wash.]) 1881-1888, 1883-01-01

The local coal trade during the past
year was, in point of quantity shipped,
the best yet enjoyed by the home COM
panies and our city. The increase Of
the past was maintained. and moro
coal shipped than in the year previous.
The increase was not great, but it was
something, and under the circumstan-
COS was all We had reason to expect.
Tabulated, the years exports were as
follows.

On the whole, after looking over the
ground, We can say for Seattle, and the
whole Sound country, that the past
year has been an eninently Satisfactory
one, and 1873 comes on the scene and
finds rs enjoying an unprecedented era
of prosperity. We welcome y0u, neW
