western Mining Notes.

Nearly all the gold-producing states
Of America show an increase in the
output for 1898.
A six-foot vein of ore carrying $40 a
ton in silver and gold has been opened
up in the Elkhorn mine in Cache val
ley, Utah.
Assays from the Whitaker mine at
Mammoth. Utah, give values OF III
ounces silver, 81 per cent lead and a
small amount in gold. The ore is fine
galera.
The gold bearing region on the west
ern slope of the Sierra Madras, on g
tributary of the upper YaQui, is in q
fair way to be opened up for prospect
ing and Development is in the Ures
district, State of Sonora, Mexico, about
eighty miles east Of Hermosillo.
Mariposa county, California, is hay
ing a gold sensation in the Big Betsy
mine, near Groveland, on the Tuolum-
ne county line. The main shaft is
now down over 300 feet and in ore all
the way. The average width of the
ledge is thirteen feet and the ore as
says $72 per ton.
Tucson, Ariz, reports that the Old
Dominion Copper Mine company is &C
cumulating copper at the smelter.
There will be, probably, 100000 of
copper for shipment as soon as the
railroad is ready to take large quaint
ties of freight from Globe to the
Southern Pacific track at Bowie.
A rich strike is reported from the
Windy mine. half a mile north of
Randsburg, Kera county, California, at
a depth of forty feet. The main shaft
is down about $50 feet, but the richest
ore taken out comes from above that
depth. The ore in the last strike runs
as high as $500 per ton.

BROKEN RAIL.

Great Northern Passenger Train Is
Wrecked West of LarimOrc, N. d.
Larimore, N. D., Jan. 1O.-The west
bound passenger was wrecked near
Hatton. The baggage and express car
and two coaches left the track, turn
ing completely over and injuring about
twelve people. Conductor O'Kane is
probably the only one seriously in
jured. The baggage and express car
caught fire and was completely con-
sumed. The accident was caused by
broken rail.

Mr.. Fosters Fine Example.
ABSclUTEN PURE
aorAl BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK.

Senator Addison G. Fosters attitude
on the question of the tariff on lum-
ber calls for comment and commenda-
ton. Senator Foster is Republican,
and therefore committed to the policy
OF protective tariff. AS an officer
and one of the chief owners of the st.
Paul & Tacoma Lumber company, one
OF the largest manufacturing concerns
in the Puget Sound country, his pri-
vate interests call for high protection.
But upon careful inqiry and investi-
cation, he has become convinced that
the best interests of the whole country
demand some concessions from the
lumber interests in order that the ef-
forts OF the joint high commission of
Canada and the United States may
not end in failure. And speaking as
a Republican and lumber dealer, he
is willing to concede a 20 percent re-
duction from the existing tariff. This
lew of the case is broad and magma
nimous, and must give to Senator
Foster the respect of men of all politi-
cal beliefs. 1t is a fine example when
senator of the United States has the
breadth to vote for lower tariff on
commodity which represents large
part of his private fortune.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

Work at Port Angeles.

There is great activity on the part
of the Port Angeles Eastern Railway
company at Port Angeles. The COM
pany is receiving by each boat large
consignments of tools, powder, etc.. to
be used in the construction of the line.
The company has rented all the avail
able rooms in the opera house block
of that city and those in an adjoining
building which will be connected by
inclosed passages and are fitting them
up in elaborate style for the officers
headquarters and clerks departments.
The desks and Office equipments have
already arrived and will shortly be
placed in position. Agents for the
largest railway contractors are on the
scene awaiting the awarding of con-
tracts for grading and building the
line in this direction. The company
has drawn plans for most elaborate
termInal dock at Port Angeles and
when completed it will not have an
equal on Puget Sound. All evidences
point to the early commencement Of
the work OF construction Of the line
that will unite Olympia and Port
Angeles at an early day.. 0lympian.

There are about three hundred bodies

It has been decided by the war De-

discretion as to the mastering out of

orders have been cabled hin 10 send all

there will be no trouble about recogni-
ton when it becomes feasible to bring

keep the volunteers in service in the
Philippines, although in accordance
with the provision in the Army act of
the last Congress, would probably rot
have been made, if the men had not,
through Gen. Otis, asked to be allowed
to remain in the service as long as
there was fighting to do. This deci-

EXPERIMENTAL work on the trans
planting and propagation of eastern
oysters in Washington will now be
taken up in scientific manner, and
given thorough test. The state has
placed 81 800 at the disposal of Fish
Commissioner Little for establishing
and maintaining experiment stations,
both in Willapa Harbor and Puget
Sound waters, and this will be supple
mented by assistance from the state
agricultural cole eand the oystermen.
AS far as the success of transplanting
is concerned, that has passed the ex-
perimental stage. Eastern oysters
thrive and develop into large size ard
fine flavor, where proper methods are
applied in locating beds and protect
ing from star fish and other enemies.
In this direction it is confidently ex-
pected that even without propagation
large and valuable industry will de-
velop. Several car loads have already
been deposited in Willapa Harbor for
growth and fattening. Two car loads
are now en- route for planting near
Tokelund, and similar experiments in
Whatcom county and elsewhere on
the Sound are expected to yield profit
able returns to the operators. There
has as yet been no thoroughly well
authenticated instances of propaga-
tion, but under direction of the state
this phase of the industry will be
thoroughly tested. lit proves suc-
cessful in acclimating and multiplying
the Atlantic oyster, wide field of
profit will result, and the value of our
fisheries enhance wonderfully. At the
same time it should not be overlooked
that the cultivation and protection of
native oysters is equally necessary.
While introducing new source of
wealth, every facility must be afforded
to the natural product, for the Wash
ington oyster industry is of itself sus-
ceptible to almost indefinite expan-
sion.-W. C. Trade.

Some Timber Left Yet.

w. II. Kneeland, manage of the
Shelton Southwestern Railroad, gave
the Ledger the following interview, in
Tacoma recently:
"There is no sign yet of exhausting
the timber in Mason county," saws Mr..
Kneeland. I'VE have been operating
the road ten years and have only
got eighteen miles from the coast We,
and. have not averaged a strip two
miles wide. In many places we have
skipped large tracts. In this time we
have taken out at least 200 ,000,O 100000
feet of lumber.
eve are putting from 10000 TO
l75,O00 feet in the water daily now
and the other roads in the vicinity
handle enough to make 100000 feet a
day going into the bay at Shelton.
Nearly every log OF this Is towed out
rs fast as it comes in and there has
been at no time for months lumber
enough for more than two RATS in the
harbor.
"There are % percent more men en-
ployed in the Mason county logging
camps than there were a year ago.
Logs are going up and so are timber
lands. Not long ago land was sold
on basis of 80 cents thousand
stumpage, and that was the ordinary
price paid the holder when the timber
was cut. Now I should say rs cents
was the lowest average I could name
for timber lying inland where road
has to be built to it, and have known
of So thousand being paid this win
ter on the water. You can generally
figure that inland timber is worth
three quarters OF the freight rate less
than that accessible to water.
"There is still considerable cedar
left in Mason county, for no one cuts
it unless obliged to. OF course, when
it lies where it is certain to ne destroy
ed by fire, we have to take it, but
otherwise it pays better to hold on
until prices are higher. Cedar is not
apt to burn unless it is mixed in with
fir, which we are working. 1t is bound
to be exceedingly valuable in few
years, and a man is foolish to part
with it now.
Timber land is being sought after
more than it has been since / have
been on the Sound. There are scores
of Eastern men prowling around in
the woods picking up large tracts, and
they are so quiet about it no one
knows it. If the same amount OF
money was changing hands in any
other line the papers would be full OF
it."-Ledger.

Washington Letter.
From our regular Correspondent,

From our regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, d. c. April 8. 1899.
President Mckinley is much pleased
with the successful manner In which
Gen. Otis has prosecuted his Philip
pine campaign. The organized rebel
lion is considered practically at an
end; Aguinaldo is a fugitive, his capi-
Sal is in our possession and his army
is reduced to bands of scattered BUSH
whackers, with little probability of
being able to get together in sufficient
numbers to put up another battle
against our troops. When the cir
cumstances under which this cam
paign was yictoriously fought, are con-
sidered, it reflects as much glory upon
the officers and men who participated
therein as any in which Americans
have been engaged.
Fighting in Samoa, which was at
drst thought to seriously endanger
the friendly relations between Ger
many and the u. S. turns out to have
been blessing in disguise. At no
time since the joint treaty for the
government of the Samoan islands
was entered into, by Great Britain,
Germany and the U. S. have affairs
been entirely satisfactory to anybody
concerned. The fighting has brought
things to focus, and the three gov--
ernments have agreed to appoint
Joint High Commission with author
ity to settle once for all the permanent
control of the islands.
There is a solemn reminder of the
Cuban campaign in the $50 caskets,
hermetically sealed, now lying in tents
temporarily erected in beautiful
Arlington cemetery. These caskets
contain the bodies of American SOL
diers who lost their lives in Cuba, and
more are expected by tomorrow after
noon. Later in the week, Military
funeral will be held In honor of the
brave dead, in which President Nc
Kinley and all of the troops near by
will participate, and, IN order to give
all government employees an opportun-
ity to join in this last tribute o. honor
and respect to those who gave their
lives for Old Glory, all of the depart
