SMALLPOX SCARE
CAUSED ABANDONMENT OF IDEA OF ESTABLISHING A NAVAL
 STATION: IN PINE BLUFF.
Sergeant Cots Says Pine Bluff People Dpn't Meet Requirements of
 Army-Neeroes Not Wanted.

Sergeant Cots, in charge of the United States recruiting station in this city, which is located at 2O9 1-2 East Third avenue, stated Thursday morning but that little progress is be- ing made in securing recruits for the army. notwithstanding that he is re- ceiyings ftsnereus applications. He says that the men of this section, as class, do not come up to the re- quirements for enlistment He had five applicants for examination Wed. nesday, none of whom were accepted. He stated, further, that he does not expect to secure many men there, on account of large percentage of the population being negroes, who are not wanted now. In answer to the ques- tion whether negroes who came up to the requirements would be accepted, Sergeant Cots stated that if an ies- pecially desirable applicant should present himself, an effort might be made to locate him. but that the ne- groes are not being encoura ged to apply for examination.
 Sergeant Dots stated that the naval recruiting station. which it was in- tended to have here from May to f2, was abandoned, and the officers sent to Oklahoma City instead. He said that this was the result of the smallpox situation in Pine Bluff, the officers not caring to take the risk of introducing smallpox in the naval training schools.

doned shafts because of litigation and high freights. The advent of the rail- road has not relieved the transporta- tion situation to any great extent. The railway charge is $15 ton for hauling ore twenty-eight miles over the new tracks, and the rate to San Francisco is $3Q a ton. a decrease of only $10 ton from that which prevailed before the railway was finished. Very little ore can afford to pay such charges. and the only alternative is for the mine owners to erect their own smell ters at Goldfield or Tonapah, which they are proposing to do. Mir. Chap man also says that millions of dol- lars worth of ore Is tied up by in1pne- tfons. As Is usual, nearly every prof itahle mine has been attacked by claim ants or rivals and is involved in liti- gation. Such an epidemic always oc- CUTS in every successful mining camp, and work is either entirely suspended or the output is held from the market until the suits are decided. Mr Chap man describes one abandoned shaft which is now entirely filled with rich ore in bags and protected by iron grat- ings riveted to the rocks so that It cannot be disturbed until the rival claims for ownership are settled. These, he says, are the reasons why Nevada does not show up better in the sta- tistics of the gold output for 1905.
 The output from Death Valley has also been a disappointment, because the many encouraging prospects have not been developed as expected. The dis trict Is full of miners and they are working industriously. Many valuable discoveries are reported. but thus far the evidences have all been verbal, and very little gold dust or bullion has been brought out. The county authorities Of California and Arizona control the trails and the springs, so that pros pecting Is not so dangerous as former ly, but 1t Is still perilous place for tenderfeet.
 California, however still remains second. in the list of gold-producing States. It lost the first place to Col oradc several years ago, and 1t is doubtful whether 1t will ever regain it. At the time of the first settlement of California by Americans, following the discoveries of '49, nothing was looked for but placer mines, and 1t was several years before quartz miniag was attempted. During those years the gold output ran up into immense fig ures. The river beds and surface gravel were filled with kernels of gold In 1852 not less than 0,000,000 was washed out with rude apparatus and machinery. Between 1850 and 1860 the lowest yield for any year was S41,:73,- 1O6, and the annual vcrage for ten years was $57,156,303. In 1885 the an- nual yield dropped to about SlS,000, 900, because the most accessible and rich est surface deposits were exhausted. Since then the annual output has been about the same. although many im- proVements have been introduced for the saving of labor and for conven- fence and economy. Individuals no

 The total gold harvest of the world for 1905, with December estimated, is .peckoned at $375, ,000, ,000 by George E. Roberts, director of the mint. This is a gain of S2S.000,0O0 over the previous year, when the total was $347, 900.
 There has been a falling off in the product of Australia and in several other countries, and the gain is eredi- ted to South Africa, the United States and Alaska. Estimating December, the total product of South African gold mines for the year 1905 was $112,000,- 900, an increase of $25,000,000 over 1904, and from $70,000,000 the year ,af- ter the Boer war.
 The gain in Alaska has been nearly s5,000, ,0O0 the total for 1905 being S14,- 650,000 against $9 160,50O in 1904, This is nearly all credited to the Panama district, of which the town of Fair banks is the commercial center. The returns from there are s6, 10T,000. The returns from Nome are about the same as last year. but there has been a marked decrease in the output of the Klondike, which is S2,O00,O00 below 1904.
 California shows loss of about a million and a half, which is attributed to a severe drought which interferred with the work of the quartz mills and prevented the use of dredges in placer mining.
 Colorado gains about $1.OOO,0OO, The other mountain states run about the same as the previous year, with the exception of Utah, which is about $450,- 0O0 in advance. and Nevada, which gained "a little less than $4o0,000.
