GOLDOUTPUTOFU.S.
GREAT ADVANCEMENT MADE
IN WESTERN STATES.
Alaska, Colorado and Nevada Show
Largest Gains-Nearly Four Hun
dred Million in Gold Produced in
the States of the Union-Statistic
From Other Countries.

The bureau of the mint and the geo
| logical survey which are cooperating
In determining the annual production
of gold and silver in the United States,
have agreed upon a tabulated state
ment OF the output Of states and terri
tories for the calendar year 1905.
The most important changes in gold
production are shown by Alaska,
which advances from $9,16O,500 in 1904
to $14925, 500 in 1905. Colorado shows
an increase from $24,3S5, 500 in 1904 to
s25,701, 100 in 1905, due to freedom
from labor troubles Nevada shows a
gain from $4,307,S00 in 1904 to $685.
100 in 1905, and gain in silver from
2,695,100 to 5,S63, 500 ounces.
The director of the mint says that
Nevada will show for 1906 a much
larger gain in both gold and silver,
and that the state will likely make a
contest for first place as a producer
of the various previous metal. The to-
tai output of silver is about 1900 900
ounces under that of the previous
year, the three heaviest producers,
Montana, Colorado and Utah, showing
decline. Washington produced $780,
900 gold and 11940O ounces of silver.
Idaho produced $1,075,600 gold and s.
1851 600 ounces of silver. Oregon's gold
output was 1924 900 and Montana pro-
duced s4,SS9,30O gold and 1858, 500
ounces silver.
The total number of ounces of gold
produced was 4,265,742, and the CON-
mercial value Of the silver produced
was $34,221 ,976.
The director of the mint has also
completed a compilation of returns
upon the production of gold and silver
in the world for the calendar year
1905.
The totals are $376,2S9,20 gold and
57,339,362 ounces of silver.
Commenting on these figures, the d.
rector says:
The total figures compare with a
gold output of $346, 1892 200 in 1904, and
silver output of 168,390,238 fine
ounces. The important gains in gold
production were $7,716,000 by the Unit
ed States, s27,4152OO by Africa and
81, $685. 900 by Mexico. Losses in gold
production were $1,913,000 by Canada,
$1,S40,800 by Australasia, $2,511 400 by
Russia. All of the principal silver-pro-
ducing countries showed a filling off
in the output of that metal compared
with the previous year, the United
States of 100000 ounces, Mexico of
6,156,000 ounces, Australasia 1000, 900
ounces, South America of 1,742,0 900
ounces and Japan Of nearly 1000, 900
ounces. The average value of silver
in New York, based on London prices,
converted at the current rates of ex-
change, was 81 cents per fine ounce,
which may be compared with So cents
for 1904, 81 cents for 1903 and So
cents for 1902, the lowest years price
on record.
The United States produced $88,18O,-
700 gold and 56,101, 800 ounces silver.
Mexico produced $15,261,20O gold
and 54,652,8s2 ounces silver.
Canada produced $14,4S6,SO0 gold
and $5,974,875 ounces silver.
Africa produced $113,329,10O gold
and 619,620 ounces silver.

car attached to train No. of the Cot
ton Belt route. was robbed and Elk
press Messenger w. A. Grissip hurled

press messenger was found beside the
track, badly hurt, and showed indica-
tons Of desperate fight. The robbers
escaped.
That the robbery was successful is
evident so far as a hasty inspection of
the car and its contents would indicate,
but the amount stolen is not known.
At Eylau Conductor Blair, who was
in charge of the train, saw that the
door of the express car had been
forced, and on entering found 1t splat-
tered with blood, the messenger miss

furnish excellent cloth, as, for In

She makes valuable ropes OF. various

STORM.


The following little poem came in
today's mail without the nam of the
writer:
| stood on the crest of a mountain
majestic,
And harked to the winds direful
wall,
While the lowering clouds settled
down, even closer,
Twixt me and the earth, like a veil.
Then at the command of the Ruler of
Nationas
A battle began, fierce and wild,
And the mountains vibrated with sound
like to cannon,
some child,
And, o! for the touch Of a friend, in
that moment,
As 1 crouched there, in deadliest
fear,
While above and below me the world
seemed to CULVER,
And to shrink from the enemy's
spear.
The elements warred, while l knelt
there in wonder,
And marveled at Gods mighty
power,
Till at last, with its strength spent, the
fierce storm abated,
And passed with a warm, gentle
shower.
The clouds, by the suns rays now
made soft and fleecy,
Like a curtain, once more rolled
away,
And showed me the world far below,
bathed in %splendor,
Where the Goddess of Peace held
her sway;
And there in the sun, like a queens
jeweled necklace,
A bright, sparkling river lay spread,
And l watched it as seaward its way
ever wendell,
Till far distant it lay a mere thread.
The trees and the flowers, cen the
grass seemed to glisten,
With thousands of jewels SO fair;
And it seemed, as l gazed, that the
world was ne'er brighter,
Nor had nature e'er seemed half as
fair.
l thought, as l wendell my way slowly
downward,
OF a life with its sorrow and pain,
But knew that the Ruler of Destinies
willed it,
And sent us our sunshine and rain,
And forthwith resolved that, tho dark
be the future,
l ne'er more would lag in the fight,
For back of the storm cloud the suns
ever shining,
And will vanquish the darkness OF
night.

S. II. Campbell, superintendent OF
the state fish. hatchery, this afternoon
brought to the city a specimen of a
small animal caught in the troughs at
the hatchery, n of a pair taken by
the superintendent, which he is GER
tain destroyed not less than 10000
young fish. The specimen was turned
over to DR.. Nelson of the University
of Wyoming, who skinned the carcass
and will send the pelt to the divis-
ion of mammalogy at Washington for
identification.
The animal is like a mouse in many
ways, with dark fur turning to white
on the belly, a long nose, bright bead
like eyes and a long, slender tail, bare
of hair. 1t is a rodent, but is not a
true mouse, and DR.. Nelson is sure it
is a water animal INT detected the
smell of fish when the animals body
was opened. He says it was guilty OF
the charge preferred by the commits
sioner.
Mr.. Campbell killed two of them, a
male and a female, bringing the female
to the university. He says they have
been creating havoc in the hatchery.
Dr.. Nelson believes the animals are
not native here, but were probably
brought to the hatchery In a shipment
of eggs or fish, the young animals be-
ing packed in the sawdust surrounding
the boxes containing the Eggs.
