MINING NOTES.

A summary of the mineral produc
ton of Canada for 1905 has been is
sued by the geological survey branch
for the interior department. The val
ue of the mineral products for the
year is sos, TOT, or two millions
higher than Canada's best year, 1901,
when it was over $66,000,000. In 1904
the mineral production was $60,073,-
S97 or $8,500,000 less than for the past
year. Last years returns were all the
more remarkable in view of the fall
ing off of gold from the Yukon aggre-
eating $2,000.000.
Butte has gone wild over copper
stocks.
All coal miners in the employ of

duction of coal 40 per cent. The COM
pany officials will not make any effort

About 700 men are out. The output of
the mines has been about 1900 tons
per day, the coal being marketed along
the Canadian Pacific and in Montana.
More than 1000 men are employed in
the mines of the Boundary, B. c., or
in the three district smelters and on
two railways dependent on the mines.
In the mines over thousand men are
employed, the smelters have about 600
men and the railways in the Boundary
400 men. The monthly payroll is more
than 100000.

FARMERS UNION.
Will Sell A.. Their Products BY Their
AQent.

Agent.
The fruit growers and vegetable pro-
ducers of Spokane county have effect
ed an organization.
A resolution was passed that the
Spokane County association be formed
along the lines of that in Puyallup and
that the fruit growers and vegetable
producers form a union as a central
body, which is to act as agent for the
county, and hone of the members are
to sell any of the produce except
through the union.
The proposition is to have a gen
eral distributing agency and all the
fruit growers and vegetable producers
are to have stock in this central body
Each man, whether he owns Is shares
or one share, will have but one vote in
the union.
A competent man is to be secured to
sell the produce and the producers are
not to sell it except through him. This
agent is to be in the direct employ
ment of the union and to see that the
markets are supplied in the most econ
omic manner, and that the products of
the county are placed where they will
bring the best price, controlling the
output so there will be a demand for
the products.

NOW QUIET At JOLO
TROOPS RETURN TO MANILA
AFTER MOUNT DAJO BATTLE.
FiIipinos Are Reported Satisfied That
Outlaws Are rminated-Native
Women and Children Mingled With
Warriors and Were Killed in On
sIaught.

Manila.-All of the men who were
wounded in the recent fight with the
Moros at Mount Dajo are reported to
be in favorable condition.
Six of the organizations OF the
troops which came from Mindanao are
either en- route home or have been or
dered to return to their headquarters
Jolo is quiet, and the sultan and ma
tive headmen have reported that gen.
eral satisfaction is being expressed
over the determination of the outlaws.
General Bliss made a reconnais-
sance toward Mount Dajo during the
week previous to the attack of the
American force upon the Moro strong
hold there, but it had no effect upon
the hostile attitude of the outlaws.
An unofficial report says that the fam
lilies of the Moros remaining in the
villege, located in the center of the
crater at the apex of the mountain,
and the women and children mingled
with the warriors during the battle to
such an extent that it was impossible
to discriminate, and all were killed in
the fierce onslaught. General Wood
is not available at present to confirm
this report.
Constabulary detachments are now
engaged in the mountains of northern
Luzon rounding up the bands OF saw
ages and head hunters who are ON the
warpath.
Americans are now arriving at Fam
boanga from Jolo. The consensus
of their opinions is that the whole
trouble was due to the fact that the
governor Major Hugh Scott, permitted
the outlaws to fortify themselves with
in sight of the city Of Jolo. The mill
tary authorities have refused since
Thursday to give any information to
the press.
Associated Press kilograms from.
Zamboanga say that the attack on
Mount 0ajo began on Monday. There
were four days of hard fighting, dur
ing which it is estimated that 900 per
sons were killed or injured.
