NEWS FROM The MINES And MILLS
The Yukon Territory.

The United States consul at None
ton, New Brunswick. furnishes the fol-
lowing account OF the Yukon territory
in Canada:
The Yukon territory. which prior to
1898 formed a part of the Northwest
territory, has an area of 196,976 square
miles. 196,327 being land and 649
water. The population is estimated at
10000, of whom 1900 are Americans.
1t is purely a mineral country, and has
produced since 1885, when the output
of gold was first recorded, to the end of
19O3,' $97,063,50 in gold. During the
same period the gold mined in the rest
of Canada was as follows: Saskatche-
wan district, $292, ,946; Province of On
tario. $2,086.393; Province of Quebec,
$1O3,940; Province of British Columbia,
$4O,o45, ,39S; Nova Scotia. $9,31S,9S4; a
total of $52,347,661. The production of
the Yukon territory thus exceeded that
of the rest of Canada. since 1886, by
$44;715,S39. In the most prosperous
years for the Yukon. those from 1898
to the present. the production of gold
has been as follows: 1898, $4,000, 900;
1899, $16,000,000; 1900. $22.275. 900;
1901. $1S,0O0,O0O; 1902. $14.5OO.OO0;
1903, $12.25O,00O; a total in six years
of $93.025,O0O. 1t is interesting to note
that $65. .046,17 of this was sent to the
assay offices at Seattle and San Fran
cisco.
Dawson, the capital of the Yukon
territory and the residential and COM
mercial center of what is commonly
known as the Klondyke, has a popula-
ton Of $500 persons of various ma
tionalities. the Americans. with 2,450,

Michigan Salt.

Some of the most important develop
ments of the minera! resources of the
country are the least known generally.
One of these developments, devoid o:
the spectacular, but of great moment,
has been going on In the vicinity of De-
troit. Michigan. where an immense de-
posit of rock salt is being mined and
the various products prepared for the
market. According to a Detroit al
thority there extends from point
near the western city limits, for a
width of three or four miles, and n
length OF twelve or fifteen, the most
valuable deposit of rock salt on this
continent. Its main bed Is 220 to $50
feet thick, its quality ninety-five pc.
cent. pure. Within five years after its
first development Wayne county rose
to the position Of third in the state
in the value OF its salt production.
More important, however, than the salt
product are the alkaline industries that
have utiliZced the saline deposits. Pure
salt, pure water and an abundance OF
limestone are essential to the produc-
ton of soda and caustic soda, two OF
the important articles of commerce
and the basis of many articles of manu-
facture. The salt, water and limestone
are found in close juxtaposition in thiS
district.
Within a little more than decade
three immense establishments for the
manufacture of the two alkalies men
toned have been established. The util.
ization of surplus heat for making
coke. and the manufacture of Portland
cement, in which part of the refuse OF
the soda ash'factories is used, have fol-
lowed the original industry, and to
these have been added the manufac-
ture of finer chemicals of which the
coarser alkalies are the basis. The en-
ployment of 5000 men and manufac-
tuled product Of $10.000000 annually
closely represent the growth of these
ndustries.-Mining World.

MORM0NIsm SCOR EO
BY, SENATOR KEARNs OF UTAH.


Mornons Have Broken Contract by
Which Utah Was Admitted as a
state-President Smiths PrinceIy
Revenues.
Washington, March 1. - Senator
Kearns of Utah addressed the Senate
Yesterday on the anti-polygamy resolu-
tion introduced by Senator Dubois. Sem
ator Kearns said he could not permit
the occasion to pass without saying
what it seemed should be said by
senator, under such conditions, before
leaving public life. He then reviewed
the history of Utah and recited the
conditions under which statehood was
granted.
The pledges given by the people of
Utah." said the senator, II believe, con-
sisted of the following propositions:
THAT the Mormon leaders would
live within the laws pertaining to
plural marriages and the continued
plural marriage relation, and that they
would enforce this obligation upon all
of their followers, under penalty of dis
fellowship.
That the leaders of the Mormon
Church would no longer exercise po-
litical sway, and that their followers
would be free to exercise their freedom
in politics, in business and in social
affairs"
Continuing, he said:
Utah secured her statehood by a
solemn compact made by the Mormon
leaders in behalf of themselves and
their people.
fully and frequently.
No apostle of the Mormon church
has PUBLICLY protested against that.
Il know the gravity of the utterances
that l have just made. l know what
are the probable consequences to my
self. But ! have pondered long and
earnestly upon this subject, and have
come to the conclusion that duty to
the innocent people of my state, and
obligation to the Senate and the coun-
try, require that l shall clearly define
my attitude"
Mr.. Kearns said that the question of
religion is not involved, and he passed
from that subject to the social aspect
with brief comment. The social au-
tocracy, he said, at present is at as
high point as it has ever reached. He
described the surroundings and the
powers of President Smith, who, he
said. affects a regal state and has es-
tablished himself with the dignity of a
monarch.
In all this social SYSTEM" said Mr.
Kearns, leach apostle has his grea.
part. He is inseparable from 4. He
wields now such part of the power as
the monarch may permit him to enjoy;
and it is his hope and expectation that
he will outlive those, who were his SEN
iors in rank, in order that he may be-
come their ruler"
Taking up the business policy of the
church, Mr.. Kearns charged that it
amounts to a monopoly. He recited the
holdings of President Smith, by virtue
of his Office as well as his private hold
ings, and said that when Smith became
president he boasted of his property,
while he now is in receipt of an in
come like unto that which royal fam
lily derives from a national treasury.
One-tenth of all the annual earnings of
all Mormons in all the world flows to
him. These funds amount to $780,
900 annually" 40 A
