oREooN,s COAL PRODUCTION.

The total production of coal fin Ore gon in 1908. as shown by statistics collected b.; F.. W. Parker. of the United States Geological Survey. was S6,259 short tons, having a spot value of s236,02l. Oregon, like California, is one of the few States in which the coal production in 1908 showed an in crease over that of the preceding year. which was 70,9S1 short tons. the 1908 output being therefore gain of 15,27S short tons, or 2L52 per cent; the value increased from, sl66,3 304 to S236,- O21, a gain of s69,717, or 41.92 per cent. All of the coal produced came from the Coos Bay field, in Coos county, and the increased production in 1908 was due to an increased ac- tiyity at the Beaver Hill mines. All the Beaver Hill coal was washed, the operation yielding 70 per cent cleaned coal The coal from this field is of lignitic character. The average num- Der of men employed increased from 1S4 in 1907 to 2l4 in 1908, and the av- craze number of days worked in- creased from 231 to 249. There were no labor disturbances during the year.

 The report brings out the fact that while the New York companies went backward S126,O00,0O0 in business in force in 1906. the decrease in 1908 was but s2,OO0. 900.
 As to the limitation to S150. 900 of new business. the report gives fig. ures for thirty-four companies, clear. ly indicating that but one New York company was by any possibility af- fected by such limitation, and that had the law applied to non-state com panies doing business in New York not one of them would have been within striking distance of such linn itation.
 As indicating the large increase in assets by the New York companies. is called to the aggregated assets of the three largest in 1908, viz, s1,- 565. .OOO. 900, an increase from 1906 of upward of s150,0OO,O00

Gold is found at various places along the southern shores of Lake Victoria Syanza and in the Wembare Steppe between Tabora and Muanza. German East Africa. Near Sekenke, in the eastern part, new goldfield has ben Discovered. The gold exists in quartz veins in granite. The veins are very numerous and contain gold. though. not always in great quanti- ties. Operations are already suffiS eiently. advanced for the erection of plant to work the ore. The total value of the gold exported in 1907 amounted to some e1566. the whole of it going from Muanza by way of the Uganda railway and Mombasa.- Mining Journal.

TIN IN ALASKA AND WHERE
 FOUND IN QUANTITY

Tin in Alaska is found in the west ern part of Seward peninsula about ore hundred miles northwest of Nome. The localities are known as Ear mountain. Buck creek. Cape mountain. and Lost river. Placer tin is found, but important veins also exist. The veins are associated with limestones and quartz porphyry dikes, the later cutting through granite. The tin was evidently introduced by gaseous ema- nations. and most of the characterist- ic minerals, which have caused mis- conceptions to arise in prospecting.

Land Rush for Comma Year.

In all probability Norfolk will be
the gateway to another land rush a
year from the coming fail. At that
time it is expected that the northern
half of what was Meyer county, S. D.,
in the Rosebud reservation, will be
thrown open to settlement. The bill
has passed the committees in congress
without opposition and is expected to
pass congress next winter.
There are still a few Indian allot.

this will be done easily within the
year. Major Mclaughlin, who was at
Rosebud recently concluding the trea.

from this fall would see the opening.

into two new counties by the South

Poulticed With Mud.

A noted explorer recently returned
from central Africa tells Of unique
method employed by his companions
and himself to alleviate the dreadful
agony of prolonged thirst. In parts of
the dark continent there are great
stretches of country where no water
fit to drink is to be found, although
there are here and there pools of thick,
stagnant mud. In such country the
party wandered for five days without
water and might have persisted but for
an idea that occurred to their leader.
Following his advice and example,
they collected the stagnant mud wher-
ever 1t was to be found and made it
into long poultices. which they fas-
tened round their bodies next the skin.
This simple process they found to give
great relief.-London Answers.
