AVAILABLE REPORT.

The second "Report on the Mineral
Resources OF the United States," by
ALBERT WILLIAMS, chiof of the divis-
ion of mining statistics and technol-
ogy in the geological survey, is now in
press and win soon DO ready. Such is
tho information furnished by an adj
vanced sheet giving a summary Of
the results Of MR.. WILLIAMS labors as
shown by his report. The progress of
mining and manufactures from
year to year in the United
States is subject of paramount inter
erst and Importance at all times and
the states ON these matters, gathered
and published officially, are necesss-
rlly and always valuable. From the
items mentioned in brief form in this
advanced sheet the labors of the statis-
tician must haye covered tho entire
field OF the production Of metals and
mineral substances, and comparison
of results with the records of 1882 and
1888 with those of 1884 enable us to note
the degree of progress in these special
industries.
At present and in brief article such
as this, only the general conclusions
and grand totals can be givon. IL APP
pears that the value of all metallic
substances produced in the country
last year reached $1sGO97,599, while
that of the non-metallic mineral sub
stances was S227,OO7,02l, or the
grand and astonishing total of SAB,
l04,62O. This is tremendous sum to
add in one field of labor to the aggre-
gate values of the year, especially
when it is remembered that the
greater portion of 1t was taken from
the bowels of the earth direct and
crude, with an inherent value in its
natural condition, Independent of the
polishing hand of the artifcer or the
busy machinery of the mill and fac
tory and literally increasing the
national wealth by just so much as its
bulk. Among the items are $3O,OOO,OOo
worth OF gold and $4S,0O0,O00 worth OF
silver products; LOG, 900, 295 long tons of
coal of value of over $l43, 900; over
100000 long tons OF iron ore were
mined; over 6,5O0,000 barrels of salt
were taken out; of crude petroleum
some 24,OO0,00O barrels in round num-
bers were produced; some 3S,OOO,OOO
pounds of alum were made while S.
720936 gallons of natural mineral
water were sold.
AS large as these figures are, and as
much money and wealth as they rep
rsgsnt, it appears from Mr.. WILL
LGAMs' report that the grand total falls
behind that of 1888 some $39,1OO,0OS,
while the latter year fell behind 1sS2to
the extent of $S,0l2,O6l.
He thinks that by reference to the
tables it will be found that the net de-
cline has been due rather to depres-
sion in price than a decrease in guam
tity, and remarks that several import
ant substances show decided in
crease in production, Notwithstanding
the general dullness of trade, and says
that the overproduction, taking the
whole field into consideration, has
been less than was generally feared.

Inter- state Com merce.

OMAHA, Juue 23.-The Senate Com
mittee on Inter State Commerce fin
ished its labors here to-day. Seberal
witnesses we're examined, among

Journal and secretary OF
the State Railway Commission.
Charles Francis Adams, Jr.,
president of Ihe Union Pacific; George
l.. Miller, editor Of the Omaha Her
aid. and Thomas s. Kimball, general
traffic manager of the Union Pacific.
Mr.. Adams remarks were lengthy
and exhaustive. He referred the
committee for his views on
congressional regulation to PAM
pilot OF his opinion when three
years ago, he was arbitrator OF the
Joint commission of Colonel Fink's as
sociation and endorsed the commits
sion system Of Massachusetts,. II pool
ing were prohibited and competition left
to run to intense rivalry, In three years
nearly all the old corporations
would be in the hands of receivers and
a consolidation Of the institutions
swamped would be formed which
would give the Nation one big corpora-
ton. This would be to inderendent
lines what the Western Union is to
smaller lines. To prevent this pools
are made under the active competition
OF the times. Tho invocation o. Besst-
mer steel was all that eyer saved rail-
ways. He though that enactments of
Congress would never divert the ca
reer of railway corporations from tho
destiny to which they are
being conducted by the in.
flueToa of commercial Law,
Legislation controlling transportation
is OF no service and the strongest and
best roads win survive, notwithstand-
ing. He deprecated railway commits
sions in general as imperative, but
conceded that with time they became In
a manner effective. He said bushes in
genuity devised TOO many schemes to
circumvent restrictions against the re-
bate system, Discrimination, etc, for a
law to that end TO prove OF any value.
He did not believe in governmental
but to realize
a 1.-THE of the Utopian schemes
for reform and the alleged
amelioration of the relations between
the railways and the people would re-
quire the binding Of railroads under
one management, or converting them
into an arm of the public service.
Railways are public servants, depend
emit for existence upon friendly rela-
lions with the people.

Rocl.a and Pistols.

ESAS ANTONIO, Juno 23.-ISpecial.l-
About 2 o'clock this morning a shoot
ing ARRAY occurred on Crockett street,
at the concert pavilion and rink. The
quarrel took place between S,,t the oo two
Messrs. Booker & Alexander, both
OF whom are colored. II appears that
after everyone had left the saloon at
tached To the rink some dispute arose
relative to business matters, and AL
exander getting ineensed commenced
throwing beer glasses at Booker.
Booker drove Alexander into the
street and snatched up pistol and
followed him. Alexander commenced
throwing rocks at Booker, ut the same
time e1clai ming that he would make
him use the pistol. After being hit by
rocks Baoker fired his pistol, hitting
Alexander In the arm, after which he
ran off. Alexander informed an officer
that he had been shot, and the officer
started in pursuit OF Booker, who, In
stead of running away, as WAS con-
iectured, took hack and drove TO the
police headquarters, placed himself
under arrest, stating at the same time
tho reason. Booker bears q reputation
as law-ablding citizens and holds a
high place in the estimation OF the
colored community as a man of In
tegrity. He was placed under boad.

General Crools,s oampaign.

WASHINGTON, juno 23,-From Fort
Bowie, under date of June 20, General
Crook reports that he has reason to
believe that small party of Indians
are in the mountains on Upper
Giln. Scouts have been sent
out under Gatewood to drive
them out or destroy them.
General Crook says it is his purpose
to place troops at all water holes along
the border from the Rio Grande as far
west AZ is necessary to prevent the In
dams returning to tho United States,
should they be driven out of Mexico.
This disposition will not be, however,
until GaIewood reports that there are
no hostiles on our side of the line. In
order that the hostiles now in Mexico
may not become acquainted with the
position of our troops, whom he, (Gen-
eral Crook will endeavor to hide, In
dian scouts win assist in watching
for the approach Of the hostiles. Gen,
eral Crook says it is to be expected
that the hostiles will continue their
retreat, at least as far south as the
point reached on his trip two years
ago. His fear is that they
may go as far as the noun
tains in Sivaloa, south of
Sonora. twill, therefore, be consid-
CRADLE time before the expedition can
be heard from,

~ follows:
The Indians have no desire TO be-
