Japan Is Not Worrying About San

Washington, Dec. 4.-"Japan has

Washington, Dec. 4.-General Gro
zier, chief of ordnance. is indignant
because he has been quoted as stating

old OF practical aerial navigation and
that he will be in a position to report

declares that words have been put into
his mouth that he never uttered.
General Crozier admits that his bu-

Wright Bros, of Dayton, Ohio, who
have experimental with an aeroplane,
but he says that no offer has been

chine and declared that the govern
ment will not furnish money to any in.
ventor for experimental purposes. He
says the government now has a burst
ing charge for shells with which it is
perfectly satisfied.

ALL THE WEST SHORT OF FUEL
A Single Heavy Snow May Precipitate
Calamity.

Denver, COL, Dec. 4.-With winter
at hand and more or less serious rail
road blockades threatened at any
time, the entire country west of the
Missouri river and almost from the
Canadian border to the Rio Grande,
is running literally on little more than
a handful of coal. At hardly any city
in the west is there more than one or
two days supply of fuel on hand.
Many manufacturing industries have
actually been compelled to suspend
business for lack of coal. The supply,
even for the peoples homes, may be
cut off with the first severe storm.
With single heavy snow positive
danger will take the place of incon-
venience.
Managers CT the transportation and
coal companies attribute the condition
to the country's unprecedented growth
and to the enormous demands upon
them. Having delayed too long, they
are bending every energy to replenish
the fuel supply.
The consumers generally do not ac-
cept this explanation. They say the
trouble is due to the clutch of mo-
nopoly on the mines Of Wyoming.
Utah, Colorado and other western
states. In proof of this assertion they
point to the disclosures before the
interstate commerce commission, dur
ing last weeks hearing at Salt Lake
City.
1t is estimated that the fuel supply
would be ample but for the seizure of
all valuable coal properties along the
railroad rights of way and to the check
put by heavy freight charges on de-
velopr.ent by Independent firms.

COLE IS DEAD

Portland, Ore. Dec. George E.
Cole, formerly territorial governor of
Washington and also a representative
in congress in early days, died sudden.
.ly in the rooms at the Oregon hotel.
The old man was on his annual pill
grimage to California, and was regis
tered at the hotel from Fairfield, Wash.
He stopped over night in this city to
call on his old friend, DR.. J. R. Card.
we'll, and telephoned him Sunday even
ing of his intention to call. DR.. Card
we'll was alarmed at the nonappearance
of his old friend and called up the
hotel, inquiring the reason for his alb
sence, for the local man thought some
thing may have happened to Cole on
account of his affection and old age.
According to DR.. Cardwell, Cole has
been a sufferer from paresis for some
time. and it was on this account that
he visited California each year in the
winter season.
The inquiry of the doctor caused the
hotel people to commence an investiga-
ton, which resulted in the finding of
the body in a recumbent position near
the window. 1t is presumed that the
aged man, feeling an attack coming on
had tried to reach the open window in
order to breath the fresh air. and was
strick en- with fatal attack before he
could secure the desired relief.
George E. Cole was territorial gov
ernor of Washington in 1866, and later
represented the territory in the nation.
al congress. He was one of the most
widely known and best liked of build.
ers of this great section of the country.
DR.. Cardwell states that the old man
has been failing fast in recent years,
and was at the time of his death almost
totally blind. The deceased was the
author TO several works on early pio-
neer days in the Northwest.

TEXAS TRAIN is ROBBED.
Express Messenger Beaten and Hurled
Of Train.

Redwater, Tex, Dec. 3.-The express
car attached to train No. Of the Cot
ton Belt route, was robbed and Ex-
press Messenger w. A. urissip hurled
from the moving train after having
been beaten and badly wounded by the
robbers. The robbery, it is believed,
occurred about mile from this place,
but was not discovered until the train
reached Eylau, the next stop. The ex-
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 hasty inspection Of
the car and it's 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 it splat-
tered with blood, the messenger miss
ing and the car bearing every appear
ance of having been looted. The train
men were sent back on hand cars and
Grissip was found While he is badly
hurt, it is not believed that his injuries
will prove fatal.

GOLDOUTPUT OF U.S..
GREAT ADVANCEMENT MADE
In WESTERN STATES.
Alaska, Colorado ard Nevada Show
Largest Gains-Nearly Four Hun
dred Million in Gold Produced in
the States of the Union-Statistics
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 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,5O0 in 1904
to $14,925, 800 in 1905. Colorado shows
an increase from $24,3S5, 800 in 1904 to
s25, 100 in 1905, due to freedom
from labor troubles. Nevada shows a
gain from $4,3O7,SOO in 1904 to $685.
100 in 1905, and a gain in silver from
2,695,100 to 5,S63,50O 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 119,40O ounces of silver.
Idaho produced $1,075,60O gold and s.
125,600 ounces of silver. OregOn's gold
output was S1,244 900 and Montana pro-
duced S4.SS9,300 gold and 5,S63,50O
ounces silver.
The total number of ounces Of gold
produced was 4,265,742, and the corn
mercial value Of the silver produced
was s34,221, 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 $3762S9,2OO gold and
ISL. 1893, 1862 ounces of silver.
Commenting on these figures, the di-
rector says:
The total figures compare with a
gold output of $346, 1872 200 in 1904, and
silver output Of 16S,390,23S fine
ounces. The important gains in gold
production were $7716,OOo by the Unit
ed States, $27,415,200 by Africa and
$2,655,90O by Mexico. Losses in gold
production were $1,913,OO0 by Canada,
$1,S40,SOO by Australasia, $2,511 400 by
Russia. All of the principal silver-pro-
ducing countries showed a falling 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 100000
ounces, South America of 1,742,OOO
ounces and Japan of nearly 1,000000
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 IS cents
for 1904, 81 cents for 1903 and So
cents for 1902, the lowest years price
on record.
The United States produced $S8, $780,
700 gold and 56,1O1 600 ounces silver
Mexico produced $15,261 200 gold
and 54,652,S92 ounces silver.
Canada produced $14,4S6,800 gold
and s5.974,s75 ounces silver.
Africa produced $113,329,100 gold
and 619,620 ounces silver.

China's Trade SIackens.

The tea and silk trades of China are
in a bad way, and there is no use on
the part of the government to longer
attempt to disguise this fact. In 1854
the silk represented 50 per cent of
the exports of the empire. Now they
account for only As per cent. The
commissioner of customs at Canton is
authority for the statement that the
tea industry seems doomed.
