1Otal num0er Of ounces or gold pro- duced was 4.265,742, and commercial value of the silver produced was $34,- 221.976.
 Most important chages in gold pro- duction are shown by Alaska, which advanced from s9,160,500 in 1904 to s14,925, 500 in 1905.
 Colorado shows increase from S24.- 3S5.S00 in 1904 to s25.701 100 in 1905, due to freedom from labor troubles.
 Nevada shows gain from s4,307 800 in 1904, to s5,359. 100 in 1905, and gain in silver from 2.695,100 to 5,S63, 300 fine ounces.
 The director Of the mint says that Nevada will show for 1906 a much larger gain in both gold and silver and that state will likely make con test for first place as producer of precious metals.
 The total output of silver is about .500, 900 ounces under that of the pre- vious year, three heaviest producers, Montana, Colorado and Utah, all show ing decline.
 The director of the mint has also completed compilation of official re- turns upon production of gold and sill yer in the world for the calendar year of 1905.
 The director says: Total figures compare with gold output of s346.S92,- 200 in 1904, and silver output of s16S,- 0,23S fin ounces.
 Important gains in gold production were s7,716.000 by the United States, S27, ,415. 200 by Africa and s2,655 300 by Mexico. Losses in gold production were s1,913,000 by Canada, s1,S40,S00 by Australia, s2,511. 400 by ussia. All of the principal silver producing coun- tries showed falling off in output of that metal compared with previous year United States of 1900, ,0G0 ounces, Mexico of 6,156, GOO ounces, Australia Of 100000 ounces, South America of 900 ounces and Japan of nearly 00a,000 ounces; average of silver in New York. based on LondoI prices, converted at current rates of exchange was 61 cents per fine ounce, which may be compared with 5S cents for 1904. 54 cents for 1903 and g cents for 1902, lowest years price on record.

TWO HUNDRED
 HOUSES NEEDED
Establishment of E, P, & s, w, Shops Cause An Unprece-
 dented Demand

In figuring upon housing the em piOyes of the new Southwestern shops recently opened, and their families real estate men conservadveiy esti
 mate that it will be far into next spring before enough new residences
 will have been built to accommodate
 the large increase in Fl Pasos popula.
 ton, says the Herald.
 The shops have now been in opera
 ton for more than a month, with an increase in the force being made daily as men leave the Alamogordo shops to come here, and of the 900 men now at work it is estimated that about one fourth of these are living in cottages
 with their families. Of the other three fourths, some are boarding with their families in hotels and boarding houses aRd in private families, but the great majority have left their families in A1amogordo and are lodging in board ing and rooming houses here until they can find houses for their families to live in.
 Of the many new houses built in the vicinity of the shops, shop en- ployes are occupying large number. It must be remembered, however, that nearly all of the several hundred cot tages that were built in the east end additions before the shops came were occupied immediately and the shop mechanics are occupying only those that have been built in the past two or three months.
 A number of propositions have been made to the Southwestern officials by contractors, lumbermen and real es- tate men to build a number of houses tn that section of the city. The rail- road company is, of course, encourag- ing all of the plans. but SO far 1t ap- rears that they have held aloof from active participation in any enterprises of the kind
 Allowing. therefore, for the increase in building work which will come after the January cold season has passed and including the work contemplated during the next two months. it will be some time before enough residences can be built to accommodate those on the waiting list
 When the paint and coach shops at the Southwestern are completed and the entire plant Is in operation 800 men will be employed. This will mean a further addition of 200 men who will be added to the force from time to time According to very conservative estimates 200 more new homes in ad- iition to those now planned must be provided in east Fl Paso and its en- virons during the next few months.

PATRIOTIC ARiZONAN IN CANAL ZONE DOES NOT FORGET HIS
 NATIVE LAND.
Hurrah for Mark Smith,

Hurrah for Mark Smith!
 His already overwhelming majority has been increased by one more vote just received by the International American from Bas Obispo. canal zone. Panama.
 Mark Smith is not the only demo cratic nominee that profits by this vote. for the man in Panama is a good "Tehaner" democrat and there is not scratch on the ballot
 The voters name is Howell Jones and how he came in possession of the sample ballot this paper does not know, for wide as its circulation and extensive as it's influence is. it does not calm to have either circulation or influence along the canal zone Mir. Jones was so determined that there should be no misconstruction of his vote that he voted for every democrat on the ticket, individually. without placing his X at the top of the demo- cratic column, and that no one could doubt his intention of voting against ioint-statehood he wrote mo" next to the square as well as placing an X within the square.
 His vote is explained in an accom- panying letter which is as follows:

KIRK GETS COLD FEET
 AT CALIFORNIA RESORT
Boss of Local Republican Party Is BIuffed Out of Bath by
 Goodness of the Water.

There is movement on foot at the present time to transfer the appella- tion which it has been the delight of the sanctified Republicans to use when referring to the Democratic par ty. namely, the unwashed," to that hitherto immaculate bunch. The req son for the origin of the movement is peculir one.
 R. A. Kirk. boas of Republican poli- tics in Cochise county, and Dr. c. |. Caven, chief of the steering commit tee, have just returned from CalI1or- mia. where they spent the time making assaults on poor, defenseleSs fishes. One day, after pulling in about 5000 pounds of fish, the doctor suggested 10 Kirk that they take dip in the briny deep. The boss "calkerlated" on the temperature for a while, and finally, after great deal of urging on the part of the doctor, consented to accord the ocean the pleasure of swashing aginst bis anatomy.
 Both of the gentlemen came forth from their dressing rooms a few min utes later attired in bathing suits of variegated colors, and the doctor plunged into the surf, but not Kirk. With his characteristic caution the boss first dipped one of his pedal ex- tremities into the water, and after about five minutes put the other in. He felt his way very carefully into the water, until the agua frfa had risen to his knees, and there came the down, fall.
 Kirk drew back. and the doctor urged. begged. pleaded. cajoled, coax ed and used every art of persuasion of which he was -cognizaut to get Kirk in but all of his efforts were of nc avail. The boss receded from the water. The spectators joshed him asking if he was a summer girl, and afraid to wet the loud bathing suit but the cold water chilled the courage in the boss heart, and he retired to his dressing room. Now, the question is, lis it natural to suppose the body is any fonder of water than the head?' It is claimed that it is not. and for that reason the body of the Bepubli- can party is unwashed. since the head is suffering from that affliction.
