GUIANA GOLD OUTPUT.
Not So Large as in Former Yea

Not So Large as i'm Former Years.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-Consul
Patterson, at Demarara. in report to
tie state department on teh gold indus
try Of British Guiana, says the output
Of gold has been diminishing since 1893,
and the diminution has continued dur
ing the present year, which he attrib-
utes to the fact that the majority Of
paying claims have already been
worked out. He says that with the ex-
rior reduced, and the heavy govern
ment royalty of 80 cents per ounce
abated, many creeks of the colony
could be worked, as they all show ''col-
or" About 1000 men are employed in
mining by syndicates, and one Of the
most successful produced about $4,000
ounces in 3 years, and is managed by an
American. Prospecting costs about ten
times as much as in the United States,
a small party with four laborers in
four months costing from $500 to $500.
The possibilities of quartz mining are
still unknown, although the consul re-
ports seeing very rich samples from
Barima He quotes local newspaper
reports to show that one American
company with twenty stamps in ten
eight-hour days crushed 419 tons of
mixed ore, clearing up 766 ounces OF
geld. Promising properties have lately
been bought up by English capitalists,
and large developments in the gold in
dustry are expected in spite of the un-
settled state of the Venezuela boundary
question and the fact that all the mines
which the consul refers to are located
in the disputed territory.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Secretary
Lamont has made an important modi-

to the transfer Of troops. AS now pro-
vlded the Fifth artillery, at present
distributed along the Pacific coast, will
relieve the First artillery, distributed
among Northern posts in the depart.
ment Of the East and the department
OF the Missouri, instead of relieving
the Third artillery, stationed at South
Atlantic posts as originally ordered.
The First artillery will garrison the
posts vacated by the Third artillery at
posts on the Pacific coast as originally
ordered. One of the two light batter
les of the Fifth artillery will take sta
ton at Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, and the
other at Fort Hamilton, New York
The light battery of the First artillery,
now at Fort Hamilton will take sta
ton at Washington Barracks, and the
light battery at Fort Sheridan will
go to Fort Sam Houston, Texas. All
the troops with the changing regiments
having six months or less to serve,
who do not desire to re-enlist in their
present regiments will be permitted to
remain at their present stations for
transfer organizations ordered there.
The object of this modification of the
original order is to effect a more COM
plete rotation of the stations of the
troops by sending the northern troops
south. the southern troops west and
the western troops to the northeast
coast.

GOLD FIELDS OF KOoTENAI.
Alex McMicken Says They Are
BOOMING NOyyadays.

Alex McMicken, of Winnipeg, brother
of H. G. McMicken, formerly general
freight agent of the Eastern Minnesota,
was in the city yesterday on his way
East Mr.. McMicken has just returned
from a very extensive trip through the
Kootenai region in Montana and Brit
ish Columbia, a large portion of the
trip being in territory which is very
new and unfrequented. Mr. McMicken
is very enthusiastic over the country,
and believes that with the return of
prosperity. there will be a great rush
of prospectors to the gold and silver
fields of the Kootenai district. Con-
corning his trip, Mr.. McMicken said:
1T seems but yesterday that Eastern
British Columbia was but an intermin-
able wilderness of mountains with here
and there a trail from one distant set
Element to another. But there has been
great influx Of settlers during the past
year or two, and a corresponding in
crease of transportation facilities. Now
the toot of the locomotive and the puff
of the river steamboat is heard in ter
ritory which never before knew such
strange sounds. The old time journey
of a week has been condensed into
day. When l was out there the last
time it took several days to go from
Spokane to Trail, RoSeland or Nelson,
but now you can make the trip in less
than a day. The Spokane Falls &
Northern is building a line from North
port to RoSeland, and when completed
In the course of a few weeks, you can
go from Spokane to RoSeland in
hours. There is a decided revival in
mining in the Kootenai district, and
great numbers of prospectors are pass
ing up from Kalispell to the Fort Steele
district, either by boat from Vennings.
or stage from Kalispell The boats
running on the Kootenai have contracts
to carry 40, coo tons of ore from the min
ing country to the Great Falls Smelters
this season. AS soon as the question
Of quick transportation is settled, the
development of the mining country will
be rapid and sure. In my mind there
is no doubt about the existence of great
quantities of precious metals. The
RoSeland and Trail mines are now
turning out $50 to $50 ore, but it is the
reduction of the lower grades, Of which
there is an immense amount, that will
add largely to the profits.
1.-The area Of the mining field is con-
stantly increasing, and If development
continues the next few years as rapid
~ as 1t has in the past, every noun
tain side will be pouring it's treasures
into the smelters before long. The
smoke of the smelters will be seen from
Fort Steele west to the valley of the
Okanogan. Of course particular at
tentiOn is now being paid to the Rose
land and Trail districts, but progress
Is made steadily in the SLOGAN and
Ecotenai districts. The Kaslo & SLOGAN
railway running from KaslC to Sandon
and Cody has opened up a large field,
and will bring thousands of dollars out
Of that country"

IN LINE OF PROMOTION.
Great Northern to Institute a New
system.


Attention has been attracted to the
Great Northern through the adoption
by the latter of a new system of fill
ing vacancies by promotion. The or
binary system employed by nearly all
railroads has been to select outsiders
to fill vacancies in office and executive
POSITIONS, but the Great Northern has
established what virtually amounts to
a bona fide civil service system The
new system contemplates the filing Of
all vacancies occurring through
death, disability, removal for cause,
resignation or another reason, by d.
rect promotion as a reward for past
meritorious and satisfactory service.
A circular covering the new system
has been issued, and governs the en-
gagement, transfer, suspension and
discharge Of employees in all depart
Inents. The circular says that all
employees other than laborers in regu-
lar service, will be required TO furnish
on form prescribed for that purpose,
a personal record, which form will be
promptly forwarded to the assistant
to the president through the head of
the department in which the employee
may be regularly engaged. No en-
gagement transfer or promotion of
any employe will be effective except
from day to day, until confirmed from
the proper Office. In case of resigna-
ton, promotion, suspension, or remov-
al, the head of the department in
which the employee was engaged is to
be promptly notified in writing. The
heads of all departments are required
to notify the assistant to the president
whenever, through the exercise of
skill or Judgment, an employees action
results in the saving of life or prop
erty, and such meritorious action is
to be made a part of the personal re-
ward of the employee concerned. Any
employee leaving the service Of the
road in good standing will be entitled
to receive a certificate showing time
and character of his service with the
company, and the reason for it's dis
continuance, such certificates to be
signed only by assistant general SUI
perintendents of motive power and
machinery, superintendent of tel
graph or the general officer at the
head of the department in which the
person interested may be employed.
Copies of these certificates are to be
forwarded to the assistant to the pres
ident.
Between the first and fifteenth days
of January and July Of each year,
heads of the departments will forward
to the president on a form provided
for the purpose, reports showing the
character Of service performed by
each junior officer, clerk, agent, OPP
orator and passenger conductor. The
company will endeavor to fill all va
cancies by promoting it's own en-
ployes.
The system will very likely be pop
ular among the employees of the road
who will be stimulated to doing their
best. The reform or change in system
is supposed to be one of the first 10
come from Second Vice President
Newman, and it will establish him
firmly in the good will Of the employees
When Mr.. Newman was connected
