WASHINGTON, July ia bulletin re-
lating to the production OF gold and sill
yer in the United States during the cal
endar year 1889, was issued from the
census Office today. The bulletin shows
that the production OF bullion during
the year 1889 was: Gold, 1880, 1869
ounces, the United States coming value
of which is $32, 1886, ,744; silver, 81, 1884,
S51 ounces. of United States coming
value of $66 6,396,9SS. In gold this is
nearly 2S per cent. of the worlds pro-
duct, and in silver Al per cent.
The Bulletin says the number of gold
and silver mining claims or locations,
commonly called mines" in the United
States, is practically beyond computa-
ton. The names of nearly one hundred
thousand such claims or mines were re-
ceived by the census Office, but upon
limiting the investigation to producing
mines, mines working but not produc-
ing, mines temporarily stopped but
which had produced, and upon tabulat-
ing only such mines as made production
returns or labor statistics, the list was
reduced to 6004.
The expenditures during the year, in
Guiding wages, value of supplies, etc.,
were $63, ,451, ,136.
The total value OF mining plantsis s465,
960, ,566, made up of buildings, railroads,
machinery, underground Improvements.
mine supplies and cash, and the esti-
mated value of the mines, exclusive OF
the above items, is $33S, 1874, 1921. The
value of mills and reduction works is
$20, ,362, ,772. The total value of mines
and works is $486. 1928, ,43S.
OF the 6004 mines, on which returns
OF production on labor statistics is made,
26S were reported idle; 1000 were re-
ported working, but not producing bull
lion: 28 were producing over $780, 900
worth of bullion; Al were producing
$250,000 to $5OO,OO0; 107 were
producing 100000; 10, $3.50, 900; 95,
from $50, 1000 to 100000; 437, from $10,-
600 to $4,000; 140S, from $1,000 to $l0,-
900; 1910. less than $1,000.
From the statistics it appears that the
labor employed in the actual production
of the precious metals is better paid and
more productive, in fact, than in any
other industry thus fa1 reported in the
bulletins issued by the eleventh census.
The average earnings of all persons en-
ployed at all the gold and silver mines
(57. 7.635) was $725 per year, while the
average output per man amounted to
$1723 a year.

A Chinese Leper Plies the Laundry Bus

iness in Gotham.
NEW YORK, July ia Chinese leper
has been discovered in an east side
laundry. He is Chin Hop Sing, and
when representative of the, health
authorities paid him a professional
visit, he was industriously ironing a
shirt. He had been a leper eight
months, and seven months of that time
he has spent in washing the linen of
the east siders. The health officers,
after an examination, decided that it
was genuine case OF leprosy, but say
they cannot take the man in charge be-
cause they have no place to take him.
He came here year and half ago
from San Francisco. There, it is said,
he had lived with leprous friend, until
the authorities removed the leper,
then Hop Sings countrymen Stunned
him. After while they raised fund
of 5000 to take him back to China. He
took the money, but instead OF going to
China he came to Newark, N. j., where
he went into partnership iE laundry
with Lee Chung, also leper. They
had trouble after while, and Hop Sing
came to New York.
By this time be was in an awful con-
dition. His head had begun to swell,
his ears were assuming enormous pro-
portions, his nose had reached re-
markable size, and his hair was drop
ping out. He went to the laundry of
his cousin. Ching En-, to sleep until
morning. When Ching En- awoke and
saw how Chin Hop Sing looked, he was
terror-stricken; he would not stay in
the place, believing it infested already
with the fearful disease. He sold out to
the leper for $50.
Hop Sing took possession of the shop
Immediately, and went right on with
the business.

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, July IT, On the
2Srd of last month Charles Cochrane, a
young man residing in Sausalito, brut-
ally beat his cousin, Martha Story, at
that place. Friends tried to- hush the
matter up, but the young lady is in a
critical condition. Miss Story was en-
gagged to be married to young man,
also a resident of Sausalito. 1t is re-
ported that the young man did not suit
the fancy of Cochrane, and in order to
stop the marriage, he circulated stories
derogatory to the reputation of his
cousin. She called on him for an ex-
PLANTATION, and for reply the fellow struck
her in the lace, knocking her down.
While she lay on the ground he
continued his assault, and repeatedly
kicked Der until she was almost insen-
sible. She was carried to the house of a
friend and medical assistance sum-
moned, but her case is now reported ut
terly hopeless, severe kicks in the re-
Gion of the base of the brain having
brought on paralysis, and death may
ensne any time. Cochrane has been ar
rested at the instance of the district at
tOrney, but has been released on bail.

z7Rtoen Thousand Feet Destroyed Be-
tween Yuba Pass and Cisco.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, July 17.-Shortly
alter 8 O'Clock this morning the snow
sheds between Yuba pass and Cisco were
discovered on fire at point about fifteen
miles this side of summit. The railroad
company has lookouts stationed at va
rious high eminences along the road,
from whence view may be had for long
distances. This morning fire was dis
covered simultaneously by one OF these
lookouts and the track watchman.
Water trains were sent out from Cisco
and Summit, and after a little
over an hours work the flames were
subdued, but not until over 1890 feet
of sheds had been destroyed. Some of
the carpenters employed near by rem
dered efficient service by tearing down
the framework of the sheds in advance
of the flames. The origin of the fire is
unknown, but it was probably due to
sparks from a passing locomotive. A
force of men is now engaged in clearing
the track, and it is thought passenger
traffic will experience little or no delay,
though freight trains for day or so
may be detained.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July 17.-About
100 miles southwest of this city, on the
on the outskirts of the thick pine forests
OF Snake river, is Pine city, place of
but few hundred people. The other
day a fishing party from that place re-
turned from the woods, bringing with
them wild woman and her 16-year-old
daughter. The daughter tells a story
of terrible suffering and privation. She
says the husband and father of the fam
lily was eaten by wolves while intoxi-
Gated last March. The younger children
died of starvation and were cooked and
eaten one by one by the mother and
oldest daughter. The mothers mind
finally gave way, and she is now a raving
maniac. They were taken to the county
jail, where they will be provided for
pending an investigation, as it is thought
in ali probability that the children were
murdered by the demented mother.
