ment with view to ultimate inde-
pendence, whether by partnership, in

In the Philippine Islands our own
mission is to educate and elevate the
Filipinos and aid them in governing
themselves. We shall not adopt the
policy of scuttle, nor, although Alneri-
can sovereignty must be established
even by force, shall we ever dream OF
the policy of determination. Not OPP
preston, nor yet abandonment and de-
sertion; not these, but honest and fra
ternal cooperation with the Filipinos
for the establishment of a just and
stable government in which the na-
tives shall have ever increasing per-
ticipation, the improvement of the
means of communication, the freer in
termingling of the tribes and races,
and hearty native cooperation with
the Americans, whose best political
traditions are but the realization of the
dearest ideals of the Filipino people"

wires, firemen scaled ladders, cinders
flew, and the red demon persisted in
dying hard. But his lights began to
darken when force was added to the
pressure. Volumes of smoke followed
where flames had ragged, and the hard
worked firemen knew that victory was
theirs.
The department worked heroically
from the moment it began the battle.
Once it was necessary to chop through
the sidewalk and flood the basement of
the Stoll building, and this was done
with vigor. Again, a hose burst and
flooded the ground floor of the same
building, doing considerable damage TO
the stock, and repairs were made with
speed.
Assistant Chief Montgaillard fell
over a hose and was stunned and in
jured SO as to be impeded for a few
minutes in his work, but his men went
bravely on, risking their lives among
the live electric wires and rotten walls
of flame. 1t was a pretty fight against
vicious fire in an ugly place, but the
boys won after an hour and a half
of stubborn work.
threatened vast damage, the real loss
sustained was not great. All the frame
structures in the rear of the brick
buildings were burned, but the main
buildings were saved, except the small
structures where the fire broke out.
No figures were obtainable last night
as to the individual losses, insurance,
etc.
Mr.. Stoll was seen after the fire had
been extinguished, and in response to
inquiries said the damage to his stock
was chiefly by water, though some
damage was done by the flames. His
loss is covered by insurance.
Mr.. Stolls watchman claims to have
seen the origin of the fire. He said
that two or three men went out to the
rear porch of the saloon adjoining The
Stoll building and one of them threw
lighted cigarette into a box filled with
straw, paper, etc. In an instant the
box was ablaze and the rest Dc the
boxes and infiammable material were
soon on fire.

"Chief" Borchers, who though some
what erratic, is one of the strongest
pitchers on the coast, is an old Sacra-
mento boy. In a recent interview when
questioned concerning his ability to do
as good work now as he did years and
years ago, had this to say: Il have been
pitching fifteen years, off and on, and
my arm is as good as it ever was. In
fact, I think it is better than when
started in the business. I have just
as much speed and l don't notice q
bit of stiffness" How do you account
for it?' 1T is easy enough" he re-
piled. Il have taken care of myself.

LEAGUE BASEBALL.
OakIands to Play Here Saturday
and SUNDAY.

The Oakland baseball team will try
tomorrow and on Sunday to- pull some
of the props from under the Gilt Edges
and let them down a bit, but it re-
mains to be seen if they have the abil-
ity to do anything of the kind.
The Sacramentos, like the Brooklyns
in the National League, seem to have
struck a genuine pennant-w winning gait
and if they continue to work together
as they have of late there is not much
danger of any of the other clubs over
hauling them.
However, the Oaklands are good and
plucky ball players, and the Gilts cam
not afford to do less than their level
best when they face them on the Oak
Park diamond.
The Saturday game will commence at
3:15 p. m., and the Sunday game at
2:30 p. m.

The Company Organized by Paul Scott
Doing Considerable Work.
A carload of machinery has arrived at
Stone for the quartz mill which is being
erected by the Douglas Development
Company in the vicinity of Smart creek
basin The company was organized
about year ago by Paul Scott of this
city. Mr. Scott and his brother are
among the principle stockholders Their
mine is located on Henderson mountain
and is an excellent gold proposition. The
mill is somewhat different from any
thing ever seen in this country; it has
two steam stamps and the process is
claimed to be exactly what is needed for
the successful treatment of the ores.
Various milling tests of the ores have
been made and the process giving the
most satisfactory returns has been
adopted. G. A. Densmore of this city
has secured the contract for hauling
the machinery, and the mill is expected
to be in operation in about month. A
great deal of development work has been
done by the company under the super
vision of Mr.. Scott, and the mine is in
excellent shape for taking out ore. A
sufficient quantity is in sight and on the
dump to keep the mill running for some
time. The property is located about two
miles east of Combination.

MINERAL PRODUCTION IN THE
UNITED STATES.

The statistics of mineral production
in the Unit States as furnished by the
producers and others for "The Mineral
Industry show a production which, in
nearly all the more important substances.
is the greatest ever recorded in our his
tory The United States was. in 1898.
by far the largest producer of iron and
steel in the world; was second only to
Great Britain-and then by very small
quantity--in the production of coal; and
furnished more than half of the total
copper supply of the world. No other
nation approaches this in the total value
of its mineral production.
The domestic production of gold in
1893 was 3,l49642 troy ounces $3.50 OS2,-
43OD, against 2.S64,576 (s59,2lO,7S6 in
1897. The production of silver was S.
763,127 ounces, against 56,457, ,292 in the
previous year. The largest part of the
increase of gold came from Colorado,
while Arizona. Idaho, Montana, South
Dakota and Utah made important in
creases. Arizona, Colorado and Utah
made increased outputs of silver, while
in Montana there was large falling off
and in Utah a small one. Besides the
production above reported. 1,O65,552
ounces of gold and 39.7S40OO ounces of
silver were smelted in the United States
from imported ores. The average value
of silver in 1898 was SO cents per ounce.
against 60354 cents IN 1897.
The production of copper increased
from 223,S25 long tons in 1897 to 239,241
in 1898 The increase occurred chiefly
in Arizona and Michigan, Montana
showing decrease, owing chiefly to the
smaller output of the Anaconda mine.
The production of pig iron in 1898, ex-
elusive of spiegeleisen and ferroman-
ganese, was 11,56O,l65 long tons, against
9,47S,9S5 IN 1897. OF the production in
1898, 1887 1884 tons were Bessemer pig,
against 5,795,5e4 in the previous year.
Basic pig increased faom 556,391 to 1885,
444 tons. The remainder of the output
is classed as foundry and forge iron. The
increase in the make of pig iron was
caused by the general prosperity in
The Philipsburg mail., 1899-08-11

nearly all branches OF industry which
require iron and steel.
The domestic production OF lead in
1898 was 228475 short tons, against 197,-
7lS in the previous year. The more part
Of the increase was due to Colorado and
Utah. there was small increase in the
production Of Missouri and small de-
crease in that OF the Ceur d'Alene.
The output VI Montana fell Oft about
1000 tons. Besides the above, American
smelters in 1898 recovered $4,000 tons Of
lead from foreign ore and base bullion.

There is pretty general agreement
among Democratic papers that Presi-
dent Mckinley made a mistake in get
ting rid of General Alger. There was
also a pretty general agreement that
President Mckinley would make mis-
take if he did not get rid Of General
Alger. There will also be pretty gen.
eral agreement among Democratic pa
pers that President Mckinley will make
a mistake in the matter of getting rid
of Otis. They have not yet determined
which will be the mistake but as soon
as the president acts the mistake will
be located and announced.
