THE BIGGEST MINING
YEAR IN HISTORY

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE past
year has been the biggest mining
year the United States has ever seen
according to the geological survey re-
port issued today, The mine devei-
opments in Nevada and Utah. ac-
cording to the report, are considered
of the utmost importance. as showing
that even at this late date the possi-
bility of discovery is by no means ex-
hausted The showings at Goldfield
during the year would indicate that
another unusual prolific source ofthls
countrys gold production has been
discovered. In Utah great progress
has been made in completing plans
for working the low grade copper
ores In the vicinity of bingham.
where in the short space of two
years an almost unheard of tonnage
of the low-grade porphyries has been
opened up for treatment. These dis
coveries have made necessary the ad-
ditional incrase of smelling facilities
i'm that state, which now are being
provided for. The mineral develop
ment throughout the United States
and Alaska indicates still larger
output for 1907.

PHILADELPHIA LEADS BUT OTHER
CITIES FOLLOW CLOSELY EXAMPLE

Philadelphia, Pa. Jan. 1.-THE
efforts which were made to render
the celebration of the bicentenary OF
the birth of Benjamin Franklin of
historic interest have proved highly
successful for today's proceedings are
of sufficient importance to draw the
attention of the world. Delegates of

night there will be a banquet to the
foreign guests and the next three
days will be devoted to ceremonies
for the carrying out of which the
legislature of Pennsylvania approp-
rated $4,000. on all sides, how
ever, il is regretted that the house in
Market street, in which Franklin
spent the last years of his life, cover
ing the period between his final re-
turn from the court of France and
his death, should not have been pre-
served as a historical relic. 1t stood

there, is owned at present by the
Philosophical society of Philadelphia.

Many Miraculous Escapes We're

New York, Jan. 17.-Defnite ad-
vices as to the extent of the castra-
throphe at Kingston are still lacking
early today. Conflicting reports in
dictate the death list may be any
where from 100 to 1000. One dis
patch reported $40 bodies already;
recovered and buried. From the
meagre reports it is indicated that
there is no mediate fear of a food

Medical supplies are, however, ur-

to be sinking and the water in many
places is now 100 feet deep. Every

said to have sunk into the sea or

MANY LOAEERS IN
THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

Washington, ID. G., Jan. l1.-All
dishonorably dicharged soldiers in
the Philippines must be accounted
for and got rid of, according to a re-
port from Manila today. 1t is said
that after their discharge they hang
around the garrisons and add to that
class of the population which is
neither a credit or an advantage to
the islands. The military courts sem
fencing soldiers to dishonorable dis
charge are instructed to impose a
term OF imprisonment and during
this term the prisoners will be trans
ported TO the United States. This
will make it impossible for a dis
honorably discharged soldier to be at
liberty on the island and will relieve
the Philippine community Of their
undesirable presence.

Condition Announced as Terrible.

Condition Announced as Terrible.
Noon.-Much surprise and anxiety
Is felt at the colonial offices at the
absence of any further news from
the governor of Jamaica. Urgent
dispatches calling on him to report
the latest details are still unanswered
this morning The only message
from Governor Sweetenham is the
one forwarded apparently on Mon
day, after which the complete silence
indicating interruption of official
news channels has caused increasing
apprehension regarding the destruc-
tive effect of the catastrophe.
During the early hours of the
morning the West Indian & Panama
Gable company received a dispatch
from its superintendent at st.
Thomas, announcing that the situa-
ton at Kingston is terrible and that
famine is imminent. The superin-
tendent adds that the company's
steamer, Henry Holmes, left st.
Thomas for Kingston with provisions
and doctors to render to the suffer-
ers every assistance possible. A dis
patch was received today reporting
the safety Of Alfred Austin, of the
Colonial bank of Kingston, whose
fate had been much in doubt.
Besides Sir James Ferguson, the
most conspicuous white men killed
were Captains Constantine and

KINGSTON WAS ONLY PLACE
DAMAGED ON ISLAND

Holland Bay. Jamaica, Jan. II
Advices received from various parts
of the island show that Kingston was
the only place damaged by the recent
earthquake. All other towns i'm ia
maica are in good condition. No
further shocks have been felt in ia
maica.
Nothing Apparently Escaped.
Hardly a building is left standing
in the entire city of Kingston, and
every one not demolished is danger
ously injured and uninhabitable.
The death list will probably total
many hundreds. but it is impossible
to furnish an accurate estimate at
the present, figures varying from 400
to 1900, the latter being the police
estimate. The injured number sew
eral hundred and about 10000 are
homeless. The government railroad
from Kingston to Port Antonio was
not damaged to any great extent, and
special trains are taking the home
less people to Port Antonio for shell
ter. Several vessels are also engaged
in taking the people to the same
port. So far as known no Americans
were killed or injured.
Popular Myrtiebank no More.
All reports agree that the entire
business section of Kingston has been
completely demolished, mainly as the
result of the fire, which started i'm
mediately after the earthquake. Port
Antonio is said to be unharmed,
though the poorly built town hall
was partially destroyed
The destroyed section of Kingston
includes that portion of the town be-
tween East and West streets, from
Tower street to the water front. All
the piers are down with the exception
of that of the Royal Mail Steam
Packet company, and that of the gov.
ernment railway. The Myrtlebank
hotel, favorite resort of Americans,
| was completely razed.
Eight Americans Missing.
One report says that eight Ameri-
cans are missing. A portion of the
town of Port Royal, which sank two
centuries ago, is again under water.

LATEST LONDON REPORTS
ARE THE WORST OF ALL.

London, Jan. 17.-The latest re-
ports received here regarding the
Kingston disaster all tend to confirm
AVID even accentuate the gravity of
the situation in Jamaica. While the
colonial offices were unable, up to
80 this afternoon, to give official
figures of the death roll and of the
extent of the destruction, yet many
responsible sources of information
cOncure in showing the growing pro-
portions of the catastrophe. Sir AL
fred Jones dispatch was received dur
ing the night saying that every house
in Kingston had been destroyed and
that the city is heap of shoulder
ing ashes 1t has awakened the Brit
ish public to the extent of this blow
to their favorite colony, as Sir Al
fred is among the most trustworthy
figures in the commercial world.
Many Marvellous Escapes.
A dispatch from Holland Bay dated
the 18th, says that the first shock at
Kingston occurred at 1886 n. m, jan
uary II and did all the damage, the
subsequent shocks having little ef-
feet. Fire spread in three different
directions famed by a strong wind
and the firemen being handicapped
by the absence of sufficient water
supply. The dispatch after confirm
ing the reports of hundred killed,
says that at least 80 to 40 were kill
ed by the collapse of the Myrtlebank
hotel.
The sender of the dispatch does not
mention any looting or violence, ex-
cept in the case of few rum shops,
which were invaded by the negroes.
Reports from st. Thomas estimate
the dead at 1000 and place the dam
age at $10,000,000.
Sir Alfred Jones and several mem
bers of his party had a remarkable
escape. They had lunched at the
Myrtlebank hotel and then went to
the pier to toss coins into the water
for negro divers. The visitors had
just left the pier on their way back
to the hotel, when as they reached
the hotel lawn the earthquake came
and the hotel toppled over. The pier
which they had just left, was also
destroyed.
