Washingt0n's Coal Fields.

The report of Major Powell, chief of
the United States geological survey
the mineral production of the country
for 1898, shows that the total produc-
ton of the country of coal in Wash
ington in that year was 1,254,%7
short tons, the spot value of which
was $2,920,875. The following is
quoted from the report:
"By an increase over the output in
1890 of little more than 1000 tons
Washington attained its largest pro-
duction of coal in 1898. The increase
over 1892 was 81 ,450 short tons. The
average price per ton was advanced
1928 to 1921, increasing the total
value $157 1929. The increased pro-
duction was due to the extended de-
velopments in some OF the old mines
in King and Pierce counties, and the
opening of some new ones, mention
of which was madein the report OF
1892. The output in Kittitas county
decreased. and no product was report
ed in Thurston county.
"The mines of the state gave en-
ploymsnt to 2,757 men during 1893,
as against 1854 in 1892, and were op-
Grated an average of al days. as COM
pared with 247 days in 1892.
"The following is the product by
counties for 1898: King, total pro-
duced, short tons, 77,731; total value,

Public Forests Bill.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-A special
from Washington says: The republi-
cans in the house yesterday succeeded
oy dllatory tactics in putting off the
discussion of one of the most vicious
bills yet introduced into congress. IT
relates to the public forest reservations
and touches specially upon these reser-
YES on the Pacific coast. Out of q
total Of 100000 acres affected bv
the bill, 100000 are CALIFORNIA; a..
5OO,OOOin Oregon and,nearly 10 900 ,OOO
in Washington. The title of the bill
Is to protect public forests, reservations
and its effect is to take from them
all protection as it is understood with
regard to the interests of the people at
large. The bill was returned to the
committee on public lands last Nav
with certain instructions as to amend
ments but as now offered by committee
1t is considered worse than before
The bill not only includes all reserva-
tlons made be executive proclamation
but also timber on any public lands
not tit for cultivation. The reason
why the bill is called vicious is be-
cause it is no other than a scheme bv
which large syndicates may strip the
public lands of one-half the merchant
able timber thereon without expense
of buying these lands outright and
without any limits as to the extent of
their operations. The words of the
bill are "That not exceeding so per
cent OF each kind of timber of COM
merclal value on each acre throughout
any reservation shall be sold; that no
timber on any forest reservation shall
be sold; that no timber on any fore st
reservation shall be sold except to the
highest bidde: on sealed proposals
after due appraised value thereof"
The bad features of the bill are it's
omissions. 1t cuts out the possibility
of any person buying land which is
part of forest reservation and clear
ing it away at his own profit. There is
nothing to prevent large aggregation
of capital from bidding in vast tracts
of timber and with the aid of the say
ing made by conducting great opera
tion under one head, virtually acquir-
ing monopoly of the sale of timber
from any given district. An individ-
ual who should buy 20 acres and at
tempt TO clear them himself would be
at disadvantage compared to syndi-
cate which brought railway tracks and
mills with it. It is also maintained
that cutting of such immense tracts
of timber as contemplated in the bill
would seriously impair the watershed
of the adjacent regions while only half
the timber of commerce can be taken
1t is estimated that large amount of
young timber would be destroyed in
cidental to operation on large scale
SO that fully 70 per cent of the timber
on any tract would be despoiled under
the proposed act. The result of this
would be diminution of the rainfall
in the surrounding districts and
to the watershed.

THE cry of hard times is heard every

of the people doing anything to make
times easier? They spend $60O,OOO,OOO
year for liquor, $2OOOOO,OOO for
tobacco and during the past nine
months the worst period of our finan-
cial depression, they have imported
81 100000 worth of foreign luxuries a

sure to be financial stringency some

Gold in Olympic Mountains.

| ~ POI iVy VI tiiICG StilGlSlllell, consist
ing of Charles T. Madison and Peter
and John Smith, came in on the
steamer Anna nj. Pence yesterday on
their return from a months prospect
ing trip in the Olympic mountains
and passed through Seattle on their
way to their homes at Newcastle. Mr..
Madison is we'll known to the mining
men of this section and has also spent
about 20 years in the mines of Cali
fornia and South America. He would
say little in regard to the richness or
location of his find, but admitted he
was well enough satisfied with his
prospect to come back for q fresh sup
| ply of provisions and that they ex-
pected to go into the mountains
again about the 10Th of August. The
party left Hoods canal at the mouth
OF the Ducewollops river and followed
an old elk trail for a long way back
into the mountains and struck the
O'Neil party's trail on the other side
OF the divide, which they followed un-
til they reached Lake Quinault. They
found the O'Neil trail in pretty good
condition excepting where trees had
fallen into it and where an occasional
land slide had left it's destructive
work. They were without food for SO
hours before reaching settlers cabin
on the Quinault river and would pro-
bably have suffered greatly had they
not found salmon berries and buckle
berries to appease their hunger. The
first settlers place reached was that of
John D. Knox, where they stayed for
time and got supply of provisions
for their return trip. They found Mr..
Knox with his wife and four children
living very comfortably in the solitude
OF their mountain home, apparently
unconscious of the great struggle
going on in the world He brought
his provisions up from Gray's Harbor
in canoes, and as he had stock on the
place and considerable land cleared
he seemed quite independent. They
say there is a good opportunity for
parties who would be contented with
such surroundings to find homes near
Mr.. Knox's place.
In speaking of their discoveries of
gold, they said the snow had not
melted sufficiently to enable them to
work to advantage, but at the rate the
ountain streams were falling they
thought by the middle of this month
the rivers could be worked all right.
They saw a good many bear and
deer on the trip, and also saw plenty
of signs of elk. The bear seemed very
Indifferent at the appearance of their
visitors and would only grunt their
disapproval at being disturbed and
shamble away into the bushes. They
say the best way for parties going on
hunting trips INTO the Olympics would
be to go in by way of Lake Cushman,
where the O'Neil trail starts and
where tn ere is a postofice, stage line
and hotel Accommodations, and where
also guides can be secured to 90 in |
with parties. The gentlemen expect
to stay in the mountains until driven
out by the SHOWS when they get back
there.
There are number of Seattle peo-
pie outing at Lake Cushman, among
them J. E. Fox and wife, John w. |
Mcdonald and wife, G. G. Coryell and
wife, j. H. Irving of Irving & Came
ron, and a party of four from Tacoma
Telegraph.

Railroad Notes,

The old Haymarket Square station of
the Boston & Maine railroad in Boston
will soon be one of the things of the
past. 1t was built in 1886. and was
then about 200 feet long by so wide.
There was at that time considera BILE
criticism among the stoc kholders of the
road at the extravaganza of erecting so
large and expensive building, as it was
thought to be far beyond the require
ments of the business, or the demands
of the public. However, in 1867 it was
found necessary to rebuild and enlarge
the depot, and it was extended to Tray
ers ST., making the building as at pres
ent $50 feet in length. A writer of that
time said, this new and spacious build
ing affords track room within its walls
for thirty passenger cars at the same
time, and all its arrangements for public
convenience are presumed ample for all
years to come. For capacity. convenience
and beauty this building will bear favor
able comparison with any similar struc-
ture in the country"
Mr.. Charles III. Novel;, Paymaster of
the Boston q Maine railroad, is paving

Sunday the ticket office in the South

Boston, was abolished, and all patrons
of the road must buy their pastebo
at the new Union depot. All outward
trains will leave from the extreme right
of the station, and all inward trains will
use the left of the depot, thus obviating
the necessity of more than one baggage
room or one ticket office.
