UNCLE SANS MINERAL
Wealth as Shown by a Well
Known Statistician and
Compiler Of Such.

The enormous mineral wealth of the
United States is strikingly set forth in the
interesting publication which Mr.. Richard
T. Rothwell, editor of The Engineering
and Mining Journal, has recently COM
piled, showing the total output for the past
calendar year. This total output foots
up IN value the immense sum of $746, $780,
982.
In comparison with the figures for the
preceding year, there appears to be net
gains to the extent of 1922, ,221 in the
figures for the past year.
The aluminium product for the past year
aggregated nearly four times the amount
mined in 1896. The value of the product
is not given, but its quantity reached the
handsome bulk of 4, 600, 900 pounds.
With respect to the gold product, there
were 1854, ,576 ounces of the yellow metal
mined in 1897, against 2,558, ,433 ounces
mined in 1896. In value, last years gold
product aggregated 9,21O,7 7O5. Of this
amount Colorado, which is now the largest
gold-producing state in the Union, furnished
$19, 1888 In 1897, there were 56, ,457, =
292 ounces of silver mined, against 58, ,488. :
$40 ounces mined In 1895. Last years silver
product aggregated in value $50, ,755, ,815.
Of iron ore, there were 1885, ,967 tons
produced in 1897, valued at 31,138, ,344,
against 10000, 056 tons produced in 1896
valued at $31 ,200,889. The output of lead
increased from 174,6 ,692 tons in 1896, to
1877, ,71O tons in 1897, the valuation not
being given. In like manner the output of
nickel increased from II, ,17O tons in 1896,
to SO. 700 in 1897. Of zinc, there were
were 100, 1897 tons produced in 1897, against
1881 tons produced in 1896. Of anti.
mony, there were 100000 pounds pro-
duced in 1897, against 1926, 900 pounds
produced in 1896. Of copper, there were
$40, ,l9O,714 pounds produced in 1897,
against 479,8O6, 1873 pounds produced in
1896.
Without going too much into detail, we
notice that the total output of coal for 1897
aggregated 200, ,259, ,243 tons against 187,-
657 ,25O tons for 1896. Of coke, there
were II, ,742 $40 tons produced in 1897, tc
1O, ,36O, ,015 tons produced in 1896 Mr.
Rothwell states that the mineral output o.
the United States for the past few years ha;
surpassed the combined mineral output O
the whole of continental Europe-Ex.

The Olympian has the following to say
about the matter as comment of what was
said in this paper:
The following is from the Seattle REPUB-
LICAN:
"Ex-Secretary Of State Allen Weir is
being urged for the nomination to congress
from the west side of the state and he is
making considerable headway In that di-
rection. Mr.. Weir is one of the most
sagaclOus politicians in the state and he
has always succeeded whenever he at
tempted anything in the way Of politics.
But recently he took hold of the city poll
tics of Olympia and to the surprise of all he
elected the entire Republican ticket, and
that too when the entire state administra-
ton was lending the Fusionists helping
hand. The Pie-maker understands that
the southwest combination has decided to
support Mr.. Weir with all their might ard
main, and that being true he will come
pretty near the nomination"
While all this is very kind, and indicates
friendly disposition, Mr.. Weir is too
modest to claim so much. His services in
the Olympia municipal election were
simply those of an old time political wheel
horse, and while the result was not as
sweeping as claimed above, it certainly did
prove surprise party to the opposition.
The southwest combination, so called, has
probably not decided as yet whom it will
support. Still Mr.. Weir has many strong
friends in every one of the southwest
counties and strnds the best chance of any
to secure their support in the coming state
convention. He's a winner, all right, Bro.
Cayton.

The Republican press does not dare to
openly antagonize postal savings banks, but
it is putting the school savings banks as a
substitute. The fact that the savings must
go into the regular banking channels and
become part of the "best banking system
on earth" makes it, in their eyes, a much
more meritorious measure. The widows
and orphans who have been buncoed out OF
their savings will not agree with their find
ings.-Olympia Capital (Pop).
The Republican press does not oppose
any good measure, though it accidentally
traces its origin 10 some wild-eyed Popu-
list It's always on the alert for any good
things. Postal savings banks are, in the
opinion Of large majority of the Repub-
lican press and lay Republicans as well, a
very meritorious measure and they want to
see them given fair and impartial trial.

J. w. RIGGS.
Walker and His Party.

The l. l. Walker party writes that they
too are now ready to sail and would leave
as soon as the ice had broken sufficient to
sail down the lakes and rivers. "Many
have already led" writes Mrs. Walker,
''but we did not care to take any chances,
hence we will wait few days longer. We
have one of the best boats that has been
built hereabouts and when once we get
started we hope to push right on to the
interior without Interruptions from any
source. We are all well and hearty and in
splendid spirits. / might add that we have
been exposed SO long to the burning rays of
the sun while crossing the trail that every
one In our party is burnt as black as a
niger. have been out boat riding quite
a number Of times aud therefore can speak
personally of the good qualities of our craft.
There are many thousands of persons here
waiting the breaking up of the ice prepara-
tory to sailing down the lakes to Dawson
City and other points,"

why CUBA REDELLED.
She Had to Yield Spain an
Annual Tribute of q
$2o,ooo,ooo.

Official data which have lately come to
hand serve to throw increased light upon
the subject of Spain's oppressive misrule in
Cuba.
Prior to the last revolutionary outbreak
the amount of yearly tribute which Cuba
was forced to pay into the treasury of Spain
fell little short of the average sum Of $685.
800, 600. In view of the comparatiyelv
small number of people living in Cuba the
enormous burden entailed upon them by this
exactIon becomes at once apparent. In 1884
spain extorted from Cuba in the way of
revenues the outrageous sum of $34, ,269 ,41O
She applied $12 1874, 485 of the money thus
collected to the payment of old military
debts incurred in subduing popular out
breaks in Cuba; $5, ,904,0S4 to the use of the
war department in carrying out needed
improvements, and $14,595O95 to the pay
ment OF salaries, pensions, etc., to Spanish
officers and clergymen. Out of the i'm
mense revenue collected from Cuba in 1884.
only 81, 1,195.745 returned to Cuba in the
way of benefits. This fact in itself, without
the prolonged effusion of blood which
drenched Cuba's soil in consequence of her
effort OF free herself, more than vindicates
the righteousness Of that cause which the
United States has assumed in undertaking
to expel Spain from the Western hemi-
sphere.
Such is the vast material wealth which
belongs to Cuba that she is destined
within the next few years, under the benign
influence of free institutions, to become one
OF the richest and most progressive centers
of the globe. In reward for what she has
suffered, Cuba will soon find herself in the
fullest enjoyment of freedoms recompense.

Especial to The Republicans !

LAKE BENNETT, B. c., May 3O.-I now
write you few lines as l am about to leave
on my way down the lakes. I will leave
here this afternoon as our boat is already
built and in the water. There will be
great rush of boats leaving here within
few days. 1t is said that there will be
5000 boats leave here within the next ten
days and from $4,000 to 10000 people.
There are great many ladies on this trail,
and it is astonishing to see them working
and to see them hooked up to their sleds
drawing 200 pounds and going right along
the same as man. | was walking out the
other day when | saw man and his wife
have saw pit erected and tie man was on
top of the scafold while his wife stood
underneath and the two of them were whip
saving lumber to build them a boat 1t is
very common thing to see woman with
pack Of fifty pounds on her back going
right along with it. | saw Walker little
more than two weeks ago. He said that he
was camped at Lake Tagish. Joe Braxton
and Geo. Smith and the St. Paul boys are
at Lake Linderman. think they will be
down. here IN faw days, although I have
been expecting them for some time. They
may catch us at Tagish also. Mr.and Mrs.
Brown are at Linderman. They say that
they will leave some time in June for the
gold fields. They also have with them Mr..
Fields, an old Seattle man. Tommy Pierce
is also at Liderman. He is with a white
man that was once with the P.-I., Fletcher
is his name. They viii! also be down in a
very short time. Mr.. and Mrs Cooper
were thinking Of going in soon, but ! think
they have about given up the notion. He
said to me when | last saw him that he
thought his chances were better in Dyea
than on this side of the summit so l don't
think that they will go farther. The last
time l saw Mr.. Rosco Dixon he thought he
would stay in Dyea this summer and if
times got better he would move his family
up, so don't know whether he still has
that notion or not. Walter Brown was
with him but expected to leave soon for
Skaguay. will close for this time bidding
you long farewell. will write you soon
after my arrival at my destination and give
you all Of the particulars. remain as ever
your true friend. Oh, by the way, l for
got to give you the number of our boat. 1t
| is 1915, all boats between the summit andTag-
ish are umbered. You can say for the benefit
of those who expect to come this way that
if they want to avoid trouble they must
come prepared to go twenty miles below
Lake Bennett before they stop to build
| their boats because yon are not allowed to
cut timber anywhere between the above
named places without they buy the lumber
and lumber is selling here now at twenty
five cents per foot. You are not allowed to
cut stick Of timber until you get below
Lake Bennett. The members of my party
are G. j. Boyd, A Stewart, j. T. Comber
and myself.

About eighteen Silver Republicans, led
by Senator George Turner, met at the office
of Graves, Wolf & Graves on Monday night
Of this week to declare that the silver issue
is not dead and that they wanted no more
offices in the next fusion circus than they
had before. Both of these declarations are
refreshing. The silver issue is not exactly
dead, but it is dying as fast as human
nature will let it and faster than anybody
hoped. Nobody is talking silver any more
except Office seekers nd they do not talk
it except when forced to do SO. When the
wheat chart and silver parted company
and when prosperity began to come to
the people in spite of the protests of the
silver men, the beautiful theory Of I6 to l
lost its charm and the people began to
wake up.
And they are waking up at rapid rate
so rapid that but few will be left by the
time of the next election. As for the Of
fees, they took the lions share last time,
and if they take the same amount this year,
it will be hogs share. With a q. S.
senator, congressman and attorney general
to say nothing of a multitude of minor Of
fees, they did not do a thing to their allies
They were ten times as strong as they are
now and they only ask the same amount of
pie. We think that the Populists and
Democrats will have something to say about
this, and as this is the last rattle out of the
box for most of them, what scrimmage it
will be.-Spokane Outburst.
The free silver issue was certainly an
issue ''for Office only" and the Republican
part of the combination certainly worked it
for all there was in it.

The Aberdeen Packing company of Fair
haven is to make an innovation in canning
salmon this year, by employing nothing but
white labor, if it can be procured. The
company is advertising for 2lO white en-
ployes.-Aberdeen Bulletin.
Permit US to suggest to both the company
and yourself that you had better advertise
for 2lO American employees instead of that
many white ones. In this country a man
should be given work who is willing to
work, regardless of the color of his skin.
Some of the blacklist rascals that are hung
wear the whitest skins and some of the
whitest men that ever walked wear the
blacklist skins. Lay aside so much of your
damnable color and race prejudice and use
American labor, regardless Of its color or
nationality.

1t is disgrace that, out of possible 45O
eligible voters in the coming school cleo
tion only 146 should have taken enough
interest in it to register in time to vote.
Not over eighty per cent of these can be
reasonably expected to turn out. In other
words ITO voters will decide the fortunes of
the largest school district in the county for
the coming year at least. Heretofore the
turnout to the school election has been very
general and considerable interest has been
taken in it. The vote cast has been one to
be proud of in fact.-South Bend Journal.
There seems to be general lack of in
terest taken in school elections, which is a
disgrace to Americanism.

Circuit court has not been very lively
today, as the attorneys seemed slow in
preparing their cases, causing the judge
to remind them that he was there for
business.
David Patterson, Jr., who was charged
with burglary, has entered plea of not
guilty. and w. H. Wilson was appointed
to defend him.
This morning Thomas Riley, charged
with larceny of steel traps from Mays &
Grove, plead guilty. His case was be-
fore the court this afternoon and will go
to the jury this evening. J. F. Moore
represented the defendant. =
The grand jury returned true biiT
against N. B. Myers, charged with
larceny, and R. B. Sinnott was ap-
pointed by the court to appear In his de-
