were of the soft wood variety, It was
thought that better results might per-
haps be obtained by experimenting up
on trees of different kind. And that
is just what happened. The ashes OF
some so-called fronwood trees yielded
between 10 and 40 cents worth Of gold
10 the ton.
In all Of these experiments only the
trunks of the trees near the roots had
been used, and it was determined,
therefore, to ascertain whether more
satisfactory results could not be OBJ
tanned by reducing the upper branches
to ashes The branches proved to be
richer in gold than any other part OF
the tree heretofore tested. In one In
stance the ashes yielded no less than
SILT worth Of gold to the ton, while
in many cases the assay showed a re-
turn of over 81 ton. The signifi-
cance Of these experiments lies in the
fact that they established beyond all
doubt that gold is dissolved by the sur.
face waters trayersing and percolat.
ing gold formations. They give rise
likewise to the interesting question as
to which component of these surface
waters possesses this gold-dissolving
property. DR.. Lmgewitz has not at
tempted to answer it, but has left II
for further investigation. He advances
the theory, however, that this peculiar
action must have disastrous effec,
upon gold deposits in the course OF
| time.
AS to the business opportunities In
volved in the discovery, it is perhaps
sufficient to say that the lovers OF
trees need feel no apprehension as tC
any wholesale destruction of them, fol
the gold yielded is too little to warran
the expense.

Apples for Export.

Growers Of high-grade apples should
look into the prospects of the foreign
markets. Correspondents in the large
cities who ship apples to Europe ad-
wise US that the demand is promising
and that prices will rule quite high.
They say, however, that only the fn-
est fruit should be sent, then 1t must
be properly wrapped in white or
manila tissue paper, and advocate the
use Of the box, rather than the bar
rel. Prices are such on the. other side
that more fruit will be sold IL packed
in boxes than If packed in barrels.
Crisp apples are those preferred, and
such varieties as Wealthy, Snow,
Gravenstein and Alexander are al
ways salable. Growers are advised
to communicate with some reliable
commission man and get in touch with
those who export apples, but only II
the quality is high, for 1t will not pay
to export poor fruit. -.

COAL IN THE NORTHWEST.
Mining Industry IncreasinR Yearly
in the State of Warrington.

in the State of Warrington.
At the Worlds Fair in Chicago the
State of Washington exhibited chunk
Of coal weighing twenty-five tons. 1t
excited considerable interest because
those were the young days of import
ant mining In that State; and the Pa
cific coast is not able to boast Of such
enormous coal resources as are found
farther east.
The geological survey Of Washing
ton has just published a map showing
the distribution of the coal fields in
the State. One may see at glance
that all the coal fields yet discovered
are situated quite conveniently to the
sea. ra ra. .rr.T sfl
They extend in a broken line from
the Canadian boundary to the Colum-
bia River. One group Is situated on
or near the sea, a little above the
| northern end Of Puget Sound; another
group lies to the east Of Seattle and
Tacoma, and still other fields are south
of Puget Sound. a,.
Altogether there are seventeen fields
which are contributing more OF less to
! the coal supplies. Some of them are
entirely within the Puget Sound basin,
and others lie between 1t and the foot
| hills of the Cascades. 1t is fortunate
for Washington, which is not Overbur-
dened with railroads, that her coal
fields are so conveniently situated for
the water transportation of the fuel.
4 III thot tho, pnnI nf thn
Pacific coast is not Of q superior quail
4 ity, and, this Is true But Washington
mines a great deal of coal of the most
useful kinds. s...t .e..s
Last year Washington produced the
largest quantity of coal ever mined
there. There was no very important
production before 1886, but nearly ev-
cry year since then the quantity mined
has increased. 1t amounted last year
to 2,69O,7S9 short tons.
The larger part is consumed In the
State, and as time goes on and the
population increases the home market
4 will require much greater. supplies.
The largest use to which coal Is put
is IN the making of steam for locomo-
tives, steamboats, and stationary boil
Il ers. /,
Wood Is extensively used as fuel In
western Washington, but in the timber
less region Of the eastern part Of the
State coal is used for all purposes, and
is chiefly supplied by the Roslyn dis
trict, which furnishes nearly half the
coal mined, and is conveniently stu
ated in respect Of the transportation
{ facilities afforded by the railroads and
,J shipping of Tacoma.
The great bulk OF the coal shipped
: from Seattle and Tacoma goes to San
Francisco, but a number OF cargoes
, were sent In 1901 to Hawaii, as well
as to Alaskan ports. British Columbia
competes with Washington In supply
r ing Alaska, but that Territory has
/ coal OF her own and Is likely In few
/. years to become an exporter instead OF
D an importer. -'
r California buys about one-thlrd Of
, the coal produced; the railroads OF
Washington and the adjoining States
r are also large purchasers, and abou
4 100000 tons year are consumed by
A steamers in the foreign and domestic
4 trade.-New York Sun.

Get Ont Forost Trees.

In a recent address Secretary Will
son, Of the United States Department
Of Agriculture, spoke as follows: "1
am sorry to say It., but 1t is fact,
that unless something is done right
away there will be very few tracts of
timber left in the country within
fifteen years. 1t may be little longer,
but not much" Later In his remarks
he also said: "The only remedy lies
In educating the farmer up to the
necessity Of planting trees, and in the
government also planting" .,
This is certainly a startling condi-
ton Of affairs and one which should
make every farmer, with land to
spare, more than willing to set out
forest trees, II not for his own profit,
for the benefit and protection Of his
children and his children's children
The department at Washington will
be glad to cooperate with any farmer
who is Interested. Write the secretary
Of agriculture. ..a...a.
