feared. The department feels this
labor is not worth the price, but that

cause it will pay.

Three New Suits Over Oregon State School
Land Filings.
Salem, Or, Aug. 28.- Litigation
over the sale of state school lands con-

have just been instituted against the

plication for the purchase of certain
school lands were not favorably acted
upon by the board Circuit Judge
Boise issued an alternative writ of
mandamus requiring the members of
the board to appear in court on Sept. 2
and show cause~why the applications
of the plaintiffs should not be granted.
M. L. Chamberlain, clerk of the
board, says the suits pending have been
brought to compel it to cancel certifi-
Gates upon which there exists delin-
quency in the payments at the close of
the second year following their execn-
tion. He says this is in violation of
the established rule. of the beard to
notify purchasers of delinquencies that
may exist in their payments at the
close of the second year, and giving an
extension of thirty days in which to
pay the same without costs being
added. The board does not cancel GER
tifcates and resell any land until
three years after the original purchase.
The real question that is involved in
these suits is the right of the land
board to establish its own rules for the
administration of it's business. One

fore the supreme court, and there are

In Washington.
Alaska Falling Off.

The gold output of Alaska in 1901
was l ,000, 900 less than the year pre-
ceding, due largely to the decrease in
the output from the Nome field. Not
only was the Nome season exceptionally
short, but apprehensive uncertainty
was universally felt on account of the
immense amount of litigation that
followed the advent of the judiciary in
the summer of 1900. Many rich claims
were not worked at all, and others but
slightly. Rulings OF. Judge Wicker
sham, who arrived in September, to
the effect that original holders of min
ing ground would be permitted to
work their claims, and that "jumpers''
would receive no consideration, restored
confidence and gave back to the rightful
owners possession of many good prop
critics. But relief came too late to
have any appreciable effect upon the
output, for the season.
In this connection it is interesting to
state that during 1901 United States
mines, assay Offices, refneries and
smelters received $17, 1852, ,463 in Klon-
dixie gold, besides much silver.

BIG GAIN in GOLD
OREGON'S MINERAL. OUTPUT SHOWS
INCREASE FOR YEAR.
Baker County Still Holds First Place in
PrOductiOn-Alaskan Output was One
Million Less Than in 1900 = Industry
in Washington is Picking Up-Placer
Ground Still Holds Out.

Washington, Aug. 27.-The gold pro-
duction of Oregon in 1901, according to
the director of the mint, just made
public, was greater than in any pre-
vious year, being of the value Of ST.
s34, 1921. The preceding year it was
valued at $1,727. 1892. This substan-
tial increase occurred Notwithstanding
the. fact that many of the best devsl-
oped and usually producing mines were
closed down great portion or all the
year, for various reasons. The silver,
product OF Oregon was $2l1,s-6 i'm
1901, as against $17O,721 the year
before.
Baker county still holds first rank
among the mineral producers of the
state, and bids fair to increase it's
lead very materially from the fact
that the ores appear to be increasing
in value as they attain greater depth.
Fifty years has not exhausted the
placers OF Oregon, and there is ground
enough that will pay to work for fifty
years more, while the quartz lodges are
practically untouched. ga great fu-
ture awaits this grand state in point of
mineral wealth. is the concluding
paragraph of the report regarding Ore
gon. ...

=. Mining in Washington is slowly re-
covering from the depressing effect of
the temporary diversion of capital to

crease in the output, and the industry
may be considered as improving, and

to show betterment in development
