ANIADOR IN EVIDENCE.

Opportunely, as a demonstration Of
he mineral resources of Amador Coun-
ty, a register of the county is issued
by the State Mining Bureau. Amador
ranked fourth in gold production
among the counties of California in
1902. the total county output being
81 ,629, ,151 in value. The total value of
all mineral products of the county for
1902 was 81 ,679,11S Amador is eighth
in rank when the total mineral prod
ucts for 1902 are considered. In addi-
ton TO gold the mineral output in
cluded silver, copper. coal and mar
bic. The copper bearing formations
are described as similar TO those of
Calaveras Coutty. Several copper
mines have been opened, but the lack
OF proper transportation facilities has
hampered the industry.
Coal is being mined at several places
in the low foothills near lone. This is

The PRINCIPAL mines are from ten TO four

SHOOTS CASE CONSIDERED.
Senate Discusses Question of Utah
Mans Eligibility.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Immediately
upon assembling the senate plunged
into discussion of the question of the
eligibility of Mr.. Reed Smoot of Utah
TO seat in the senate. The debate
grew out of the remarks made
Wednesday by Mr.. Hoar. saying that
petitions bearing upon Mr.. Smoot's
case are as much out of place as
would similar petitions to the supreme
court Of the United States be in the
interest of any case before that
tribunal
Mr.. Dubois Uda) took issue with
Mr.. Hoar's remarks and presented his
views in connection with the petitions
for Mr.. Smoot's expulsion which were
presented by himself.
Mr. Hale (Me.) took the position
that the question of Mr.. Smoot's eligi-
bility had been improperly raised at
this time. He referred briefly to the
moral aspects of the Smoot case and
said that grave as they are they are
not more important than "the intru-
sion of a great religious hierarchy like
the Mormon church into the political
affairs of the country" He suggested
to the senate the importance of not
prejudging the case.

THEIR PLAN LAID OUT
DEMOCRATS WILL OPPOSE CANAL
TREATY WITH PANAMA.
Steering Committee Unanimous in
Condemnation of the Recognition
of the New Government.

Washington, Nov. 13-Democratic
senators have determined to oppose
the ratification of a canal treaty with
the new republic of Panama, should
the administration enter upon treaty
negotiations with that country. The
Democratic steering committee is
said to be unanimous in condemna-
tion of the recognition the United
States has given to the creation OF a
new government on the isthmuS,
though the announcement has been
made that no course Of opposition has
been definitely adopted.
1t has been learned on the author
ity of a member of the Democratic
steering committee that the sentiment
Of the committee is to attack any ef-
fort to open negotiations with the new
republic and go before the country in
support OF the Spooner act to show
the party is not antagonistic to the
building of canal. 1t is claimed that
the law is on the side of the Demo
cratic programme, inasmuch as the
Spooner act is a Republican measure.
This act authorizes the president to
proceed to the construction of canal
on the Nicaraguan and Costa Rican
route in the event negotiations with
Colombia are not concluded within a
reasonable time for the Panama
route.

Denver, Nov. 13.-Representatives
of every railroad entering Denver
from the East have agreed to make
rate Of $3 a ton for coal from the
mines of Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, In

In the meantime the Independent

working there with a total of 280 men
and a daily output of eight hundred

the resumption OF every independent
producer in the district by next Mon

hour basis with some concessions in
wages.
About 200 miners from Summerville
and Soulsbyville ran the Chinese min
ers out of Soulsbyville and the Black

year-to decide upon death and the man

upon it as day for repentance.
