JuNgs MONDAY.

Roses white and roses red,
Rose vines tangled overhead;
June her floral treasures filings,
While abovea robin sings.
Drowsy bees hang on the rose,
Silently the river flows;
Scented is the air. and high
Flies a swallow in the sky.
Love knocks at my ladys bower:
Comes he with the regal flower:
Cries he, "Rouse we, and away;
Know ye not tits roses day?"

In talking to a PosT-ISTELIIGENCER re-
porter yesterday afternoon at the county
Jail ''Scotty" Sharp, who is waiting trial on
the charge OF holding up Frank Bosano,
declared that Frank Morrell, who was
with Bosano at the time the job was done,

confinement nine days before turning him
loose. had nothing to do with the affair at
all. lie declares that the detective who

COAL IN WASHINGTON.
Statistics of the Output of the
Mines During the Year 1891.
BY THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
skaEit and Whatcom Counties Join the
List OF Producers, Though What
com Was the Pioneer.

WASHINGTON CrrY, Jan. 26.-rSpecial. +
The United States geological survey has
just issued a volume of statistics relative
10 the production of coal in the United
States during the year 1891. Comparative
tables are given, showing the increase or
decrease of coal taken from the mines, and
other interesting information in connec-
ton with it. That portion devoted to
Washington state is as follows:
The total product in 1891, ,056, 249 short
tons; spot value, 81, 49,, go.
From reports to the technical press a
largely increased output was looked for
from Washington during 1891, but returns
show that such expectations were not only
not realized, but on the other hand de-
cided decrease occurs. None of the new
companies organized during the year had
any product to report. though some began
shipping early in 1892. The one mine in
Ihurston county was not operated in 1891,
and strike of several months duration,
caused by an attempt to introduce negro
and non-uniOn labor, shortened the out
put in King county. The output of Kitti-
tas county also shows large decrease. 1t
is very probable that the heavy importa-
tions Of foreign coal into San Francisco
was In part responsible for the smaller out
put OF Washington coal.
The following table shows the product
of the state fox the past five years by coun-
ties:

The first discovery of coal in Washing
ton was made in 1852. and the first mine
was opened on Belingham bay in 1854
The coal from this mine was shipped to
San Francisco ana was the only coal
shipped out of the territory until So
when expectation commenced at Seattle,
from the Seattle, Renton and Talbot
mines in the vicinity In 1874 the product
from the Seattle mines was 5000 tons;
from July |, 1874. to July /, 1879, the prod
net was $4,000 tons. In the year ended
December 81. 1879. the product was 49,. POI

1874. produced in 1875 and 1876 50,QO0 short
tons. The Talbot mine. opened in 1875,
produced in 1879 Is 900 short tons of coal.
Records of the operations of Washington
coal mines are incomplete, and entirely
wanting from 1879 TO 1884. The mining
during this time was confined to King and
Pierce counties. During the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1885, the total product of
the territorvis given al $50 80 short tons,
OF which King county is credited with
~, $50 short tons and Pierce county with
