GREAT ADVANCEMENT MADE
In WESTERN STATES.
Alaska, Colorado and Nevada Show
Largest GaIns--NearIy Four Hun
dred Million in Gold Produced in
the states Of the union-statisties
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 q 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 $9,160,500 in 1904
ito s14,925, 800 in 1905. Colorado shows
an Increase from $24.ss5.s0O in 1904 to
$25, 701, 100 in 1906, due to freedom
from labor troubles. Nevada shows a
gain from s4,307, 800 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 viii show for 1906 much
larger gain in both gold and silver,
and that the state will likely make a
contest for first place as producer
of the various previous metal. The to
|tal output of silver is about 1,5e0, 000
ounces under that of the previous
year, the three heaviest producers
Montana, Colorado and Utah, showing
a decline. Washington produced 1870,
900 gold and 119,400 ounces of silver
Idaho produced $1,075,600 gold and g.,
125, 600 ounces OF silver. Oregon's gold
output was $1,244.0O0 and Montana pro
duced $4,Ss9.30O gold and 5,S63,50(
ounces silver.
The total number OF ounces of gold
produced was 4,265,742, ayd the com
mercial value of the silver produced
was $S4,221, 976.
The director of the mint has also
completed compilation of returns
upon the production Of gold and silver
| in the world for the calendar veal
1905.
The totals are $s76.2S9,2OO gold and
Isl, 339,362 ounces of silver.
| Commenting on these figures, the di
lrector says:
The total figures compare with I
gold output of $346,S92, zoe in 1904, ant
a silver output of 16S,3eo,23S fin
ounces. The, important gains in gol'
production were $7,716,000 by the Unit
ed States, $27,415,200 by Africa an
i So, 655, 300 by Mexico Losses In gol
production were $1,913,0O0 by Canads
| $1,S40,S00 by Australasia, $2,511 400 b
Russia. All of the principal silver-prt
, ducing countries showed falling o.
in the output Of that metal compare
\ with the previous year, the Unite
States of 100000 ounces, Mexico {
6,156,000 ounces, Australasia 100000
ounces, South America of 1,742,00
ounces and Japan Of nearly 100000
ounces. The average value Of silve
in New York, based on London price,
converted at the current rates of e.
change, was 81 cents per fine ounce
which may be compared with So cent
for 1904, 81 cents for 1903 and S
cents for 1902, the lowest years pric
on record.
The United States produced $S8,1S0
TOO geld and 56,101 600 ounces silver.

and 54,652,892 ounces silver.

WORK OF ARMED mob
BURNED TOBACCO PLANTS AT
PRINCETON, KENTUCKY.
Loss is Estimated at $f7o,ooo-Mob
Numbered About 800 Men--seized
and Disarned Night Waterman,
Then Applied the Torch-Forced
FIrenen Away.

louisville, KY, Dec. ga special
from Princeton, KY, says: The to-
bacco stemmeries of John Steger and
John G. Orr, the latter controlled by
the Imperial To.acco company OF New
York, were destroyed by fire, kindled
by q mob Of masked men. The loss
is estimated at $4,000.
The mob, which numbered about 800
men, entered Princeton between one
and two O'Clock, seized the night mar
shall and disarmed him. They then
went to the factory and quickly APP
piled the torch.
The masked men stood on guard,
permitting nobody to come near while
the buildings were enveloped in flames
and help was useless. A squad Of the
mob took charge of the telephone Of
Ace and no word of the affair was per-
mitted to go out.
When the mob saw that the fire was
beyond control they left the town, go
ing in the direction of Hopkinsville,
discharging revolyers and rifles as
they departed, When the fire depart
ment arrived 1t could do nothing more
than prevent the fire from destroying
buildings in the vicinity. The Steger
stemmery was located on the south
side Of town on the Illinois Central
railroad and the Orr building in the
northern part OF town.
The Steger factory is controlled by
the American Snuff company and Mr.
Steger is the Princeton agent for. that
concern Mr.. Orr is the agent OF the
Imperial company. There were about
10000 pounds of tobacco in each
warehouse and all of 1t was burned
The mob, in addition to disarmine
the night policeman, took charge Of
the station and the waterworks. Ever
had the fire company responded they
could not have obtained water.
The work Of the mob is believed t.
be only flrtherance of the agita
ton by the tobacco raisers agains
the tobacco trust. The organization
of farmers Is known as the Dark To
bacco Growers Protective Association
but 1t is not known that any membe
was In last nights mob.
1t is not improbable that Governo
Beckham will be asked to call out tn
militia to protect property in those dis
tricts In view Of past outrages.

board Of fire underwriters, says tn
Insurance companies will not b
responsible for the loss of the plant
under the clause exempting them |
cases of riot and invasion. The PR
tective association was forme

1t. Marauders visited their farms
night and cut down their tobacc
plants with hoes, set fire to the
barns and committed other depred'
tons. The Ill feeling began about 81
years ago when the Italian governmer
sent agents into the dark Tobacco
field. These agents paid such hig
prices for the tobacco that other agent
were driven out of the field.
