OREGON'S GOLD GAIN
Mineral Output of State Is on'
the Increase.
GOVERNMENT FIGURES FOR 190!
Baker Connty Still Holds First Place
Alaskan Output $1,000,000 Less
Than In 1000 "Washington In
dustry Ib Picking Up. ,
OREGOKIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, Aug. 25. The gold production of
Oregon In 1S0L according to the report of
the Director of the Mint, George E. Rob
erts, made public today, was greater than
in any previous year, being S8.759 ounces,
valued at $LS34,S2L The preceding year
S3.5G6 ounces, valued at $L727,S92, were pro
duced. This substantial increase occurred
notwithstanding the fact that many of the
best-developed and usually producing
mines were" closed down a great portion
or all the year for various reasons. The
silver product of Oregon was $211,876 in
1901, as against $170,721 the year before.
Baker County still holds first rank
among the mineral producers of the state,
and bids fair to increase Its lead very ma
terially from the fact that the ores appear
to be Increasing in value as they attain
greater depth. Fifty years has not ex
hausted the placers of Oregon, and there
13 ground enough that will pay to work for
50 years more, while the quartz ledges
are practically untouched. "A great future
awaits this grand state in point of min
eral wealth," is the concluding statement
of the report regarding Oregon.
In "VVashingrton.
Mining in Washington is slowly recover
ing from the depressing effect of the tem
porary diversion of capital to Alaska.
There has been a slight Increase in the
output, and the Industry may be consid
ered as improving, and the close of the
present year is expected to show a better
ment In development and production.
During the past year the Seattle Assay
Office received the following quantities of
gold and silver from neighboring fields:
Alaska $ 3,476,759
Idaho 5 670
Oregon 4,904
Washington 68,684
British Columbia -j 627,678
Yukon Territory 11,097,118
Gold Output of Alnska Falls Off.
The gold output of Alaska in 1901 was
$1,000,000 less than that of the year preced
ing, due largely to the Increase in the
output from the Nome field. Not only was
the Nome season exceptionally short, but
apprehensive uncertainty was universally
felt on account of the immense amount of
litigation that followed the advent of the
Judiciary In the Summer of. 1900. Many
rich claims were not worked at all, and
others but slightly. Rulings of Judge
Wlckersham. who arrived In September, to
the effect that original holders of mining
ground would be permitted to work their
claims, and that "jumpers" would receive
no consideration, restored confidence and
gave back to the rightful owners posses
sion of many good properties. But relief
came too late to have any appreciable
effect upon the output for the season.
Alaska's gold output for 1901 was valued
at $6,932,226, as against $8,166,187 the year
previous. The silver product was $56,499
as against $96,734 in 1900. Of this total,
Nome Jascyear produced $4,110,712 in gold
and $20,975 in silver, whereas Nome's gold
and srjper" output In 1900 was $5,100,000. In
this connection it is Interesting to, note
that during 1901 United States mines, as
say offices, refineries and smelters received
517.752.463 in Klondike gold, besides much
silver.
STATISTICS OF ILLITERACY.
Preliminary Report Issned by the
Census Ofllce.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 25. - The Census
office today presented a preliminary re
port on Illiteracy among men of voting
age in city and country districts In the
census year 1900. The report Included
under the term "Illiterate" tnose who can
neither read nor write, and also a smail
number who can read, but cannot write
In the United States, as a whole, ex
cluding Alaska and Hawaii, the male pop
ulation at least 21 years of age and living
in cities which had at least 25.000 Inhab
itants, was 5.8S5.644. of whom 339,223. or 6
per cent, were reported as illiterate. In
the rest of the country the number of
men of voting age was 15.248,655, of whom
1,949,247, or 13 per cent, were reported as
illiterate.
These figures Indicate that illiteracy
among adult males Is less than half as
prevalent in the large cities as It Is in the
rest of the United States. The difference,
the report says, Is due largely to the fact
that the urban population of the country
is massed In the Northern and Western
states, and. Illiteracy Is less frequent
there than In other parts of the country.
Illiteracy among adults, the report aays.
Is found in the larger cities less frequent
ly than elsewhere In all the states and
territories except New Hampshire, New
York, Kansas and Oregon. The report
continues:
"As the difference between the large
cities and the rest of the country in the
Northern states is affected by the pres
ence in the cities of large numbers of Il
literate immigrants, so In the Southern
states the same difference may be affect
ed by the presence of the negro popula
tion." The report concludes as follows:
"Among the native whites the differ
ences between the population of large
cities In the North and In the South In
the matter of Illiteracy are comparatively
slight, but In the smaller cities and rural
districts of the South a considerable per
cent of the adult population have not ac
quired the elements of book education.
As a rule, a population living in large
cities Is likely to Include a smaller pro
portion of Illiteracy than a population
scattered over a sparsely settled area and
more difficult to reach by an effective sys
tem of public schools."
OUTPUT OF PRECIOUS METALS.
Production of .Gold and Silver in the
United Stntes in 1001.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 25 George E.
Roberts, Director of the Mint, has Issued
his final estimate of the production of
gold and sliver in the United States dur
ing the calendar year 1901. Mr. Roberts'
statement shows that during the year the
United States produced 2,805,500 ounces of
gold, valued at $78,666,700; a decrease of
K-04,303. or .636 per cent, as compared with
the yield of 1900.
Ten of the 19 states and territories
yielding gold showed an Increased prod
uctionCalifornia leading with $1,075,200.
an increase due entirely to the normal
development of the mining Industry. Ne
vada showed the material gain of $957.
500, which came largely from the newly
discovered camp of Tonopah, in Nye
County, although nearly every county In
the state Increased Its production. South
Dakota also made a gain of $301,900; Idaho,
$144,600, and Oregon, $123,400.
The greatest decrease, amounting to
$1,2S5.300. was in Alaska. This was dje
to lateness of the season, which delayed
the opening of the plovers and to litiga
tion, which Interfered with development
of the industry. Colorado diminished
$1,135,900, a fact explained by the decline
in the grade of ores extracted, the ton
nage having increased.
The silver yield for 1901 amounted to
55.214,000, ounces of the commercial value
of 533.12S.400, which was 2,433.000 ounces,
or 5 per cent less than it was In 1900. The
greatest gain 1.493,200 ounces was In
Utah, almost all of which came from the
Park City District. Nevada, New Mexico
and Washington also made gains. The
production of Colorado, owing to the de
cline in the grade of ores extracted, fell
off 2,046.100 fine ounces, while Montana"s
yield diminished 1,063,700 ounces; Idaho's.
86,200, and South Dakota's. 45S.200.
The total value of the precious metal
produced by the Unlfed States in 19C1
amounted to $111,795,100. which was $1,964,
100. or 2 per cent less, than the yield of
1900. The following statement shows the
approximate distribution ( by producing

China Signs. Trenty Arrangement.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. Word has been
received here that the Chinese Commis
sioners at Shanghai have signed the ar
rangement drawn up by T. S. Sharretts,
providing for the substitution of specific
for ad valorem duties on imports entering
China. Mr. Sharretts is now on his way
to this country with a treaty. The docu
ment will not require action on the part
of the United States. The Chinese Gov
ernment Is anxious that the new duty be
payable In gold, but this point has been
suspended for the moment by the direction
of the powers.
LONDON, Aug. 25. "The Chinese Gov-,
ernment," cables the Shanghai corre
spondent of the Times, "has sanctioned
the signature of the commercial tariff.
"but proposes to delay the date of its
coming Into force until the Chinese New
Year. The foreign tariff commissioners
are protesting at this delay."
Summary of Commerce of Cnba.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 25. The Insular
Division of the War Department has Just
published its last summary of the com
merce of the Island of Cuba. The sum-
'mary shows that the total value of Im
ports Into Cuba during the military occu
pation was $235,437,135, and the exports
were $45,000,000 less than the Importations,
a fact attributed to the destruction of
property and damage to agriculture
caused by the war.
The United States furnished 43 per cent
of the Imports and took 75 per cent of
the exports. Practically all the sugar
went to the United States. The balance
of trade was decidedly In favor of Cuba,
though not so great as In former years,
and It Is remarked that the trade o the
United States has not kept pace In any of
the Latin-American countries with Its
wonderful strides in other parts of the
world.
Treasury Department Dismissal.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. Secretary
Shaw today ordefed the dismissal from
the Treasury' TJepartment of Lorenzo G.
Warfield, a clerk in the division of book
keeping and warrants. The attention of
the Department was called a few days
ago to a circular said to have been Issued
by an organization of which Mr. Warfield
Is treasurer. The circular gave the plants
of a proposed association by which stock
holders could probably reap large returns
from a scheme to play the races. One
clause in the circular cited the fact that
Mr. Warfield had an Important position in
the Treasury Department, and gave this
as evidence of the responsibility of the
association. The dismissal was based
upon the use of the Department's name
In this connection.

farming is coming Into favor. There Is
considerable stock turned off every year,
and the business of raising hogs Is In
creasing remarkably. Fruit and vege
tables of the finest quality to be found
anywhere are grown in enormous quanti
ties. The soil along Snake River seems
to possess qualities peculiarly adapted for
Imparting to fruit a delicate flavor, which
is frequently missing In the product grown
elsewhere. VIneland. Wash., Just across
the river from Lcwiston, Is one of the
most remarkable examples of the fine re
sults which can be achieved with good
land properly handled, financially and oth
erwise. A few years ago this land was
producing nothing but sage brush and was
purchased by the original promoters of
VIneland for a very low figure. In fact,
entire quarter sections were obtainable
for the prices now asked for a single
acre.
VIneland is exclusively an irrigation pro
ject, but it has been so skillfully handled
that the output of fruit from a single
acre has been so great as to seemingly
warrant the prices now being paid for the
land. A gentleman from Iowa came In
last week, after a straight shoot across
the country., and without looking either to
the right or the left he paid $13,000 for 00
acres In one of the cheapest portions of
the VIneland tract. A Bostonlan who ar
rived a day or two previously preferred
something choice, so he paid $11,000 for 10
acres. Like the Iowan. he had come
straight through and kept his eye on
VIneland. to the exclusion of everything
else that might be obtainable for any
where from a tenth to a fortieth of the
price at which this skillfully managed
land Is sold. These facts are mentioned,
not for the purpose of exploiting a highly
profitable land speculation, but simply to
show the enormous productiveness of
Snake River lands, which turn off crops
which warrant the payment of such elab
orate prices. Over 1000 people are now
getting a living out of the land Just across
the river from Lewiston, and some of
them besides the land-sellers are growing
rich. E. W. W.

LONDON, Aug. 25. Cabling from Brus

graph says he hears that as a result of the
conference between ex-President Kruger
and the Boer Generals Dewet, Botha and
Delarcy. Mr. Kruger Is to resign the
leadership of the Boer people. General
Botha, adds the correspondent, was unan
imously designated the future leader of
the Boers.
KIXG EDWARD'S CRUISE.
Duration of His Stay in Scotland Is
Undecided.
NEW YORK. Aug. 25. The King and
Queen are slowly sailing north in tho
royal yacht, and are expected, says the
Tribune's London correspondent, to land
at Aberdeen at the end of the week.
Thence they will proceed by special train
to Ballater for Balmoral. The duration
of their s"tay in Scotland is yet unde
cided. Much will depend on the nature of
the weather. In all probability they will
go for another yachting trip next month,
from Aberdeen to Copenhagen, to pay
a visit to the King of Denmark and to
meet the Emperor of Russia.
The attitude of the Boer Generals on
the Continent Is regarded here as abso
lutely correct. It has been found Im
possible to inveigle them Into schemes
of discontent and mischief, and General
Botha's reported statement that It Is the
duty of the burghers wishing to live In
South Africa to respect and observe the
laws of the British Empire and regard
themselves faithful subjects of King Ed
ward, enhances the respect that Eng
lishmen have hitherto felt for him.
The Shah of Persia, who left today
for tho Continent, has taken his pleasure
very seriously and very Industriously
during his short stay. He has had more
than ono opportunity of observing how
much the sight of royalty appeals to a
London crowd. It Is too soon yet to es
timate the political consequences of his
visit, but England's chince of Improv
ing her Intercourse and influence with
Persia was never more favorable than
It is today, and Lord Lansdowne will
doubtless endeavor to secure better terms
for British commerce In the Shah's do
minions. At present Russia heads the list of ex
ports and Imports,- with 56 per cent of tho
values, while England comes a bad sec
ond, with- only 24 per cent.
N PARCEL POST AGREEMENT.
Arrangements Concluded Between
United Stntes and Great Britain.
LONDON, Aug. 25. Beginning Septem
ber 1, the postofllce of Great Britain will
accept parcels for transmission to the
United States. The various attempts of
the British Government to conclude a
parcel post arrangement with the United
States having resulted In failure, the Brit
ish postal department has arranged this
Independent eervlce. The Cunard and
White Star lines will convey the parcels
to the United States and the American
Express company will deliver them in
that country. Tho charges will be 24
cents for each three-pound package, and
72 cents for packages weighing from seven
to 11 pounds to principal points In the
United States, with an additional charge
of 24 cents for a British customs clearance
fee. The United States-customs fees will
also be added. A similar parcel post
service is to be hegun from the United
States to Great Britain. The weight and
size limitations of parcels accepted under
this service will be the same as those now
controlling the British Inland parcel post,
namely a maximum weight of 11 pounds
and a maximum length of six feet for
length and girth combined.
The morning papers will unanimously
approve the scheme, as another link
which draws the two countries together.

Release of Boer War Prisoners.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. United States
Consul Merry, at Colombo, Ceylon, where
a large number of Boer prlsoners'of war
have been held eantivp hue rm-ni.tu.i
the State Department a copy of the of-
nciai announcement made as to the release
of tlftsc prisoners. Their release will not
take place at once, but will .depend on
the readiness of the colonial governments
to receive them, as the circumstances of
the new colonies do not admit of the re
turn of unlisted numbers at one time.
Foreign prisoners of war, who do not
claim to be burghers, will not be allowed
to return to South Africa. They may
leave Ceylon at once at their own expense.
Others may be handed over to their Con
suls If their governments wish to make
special arrangements for moving them,
otherwise they must wait until the British
Government finds It convenient to re
patriate them.
Healthy Prospects in America.
LONDON, Aug. 26. In -an editorial
article this morning discussing the politi

although the commercial credit of the
United States is perhaps not quite so
great as It was a year ago, and the actual
situation is not entirely free from dis
quieting features, yet, being favored with
good harvests and a promising cotton
crop, business prospects appear to be
healthy for another year.

Will Name Archbishops.
ROME, Aug. 25. Cardinal GottL the new
prefect of the propaganda, has convoked
the congregation of the propaganda for
September 1, when among the business
to come up will be the appointment of a
coadjutor with tho right of succession to
the Archbishop of San Francisco, the Most
Rev. Patrick William Rlordan. D. D., and
the nomination of an Archbishop of New
York.
The Associated Press learns that the
congregation Is almost universally In fa
vor of the Rt. Rev. George Montgomery,
Bishop of Los Angeles. Cal.. as coadjutor
to the Archbishop of San Francisco, and
the Rt. Rev. John M. Farley, vicar-gen-oral,
as Archbishop of New York.
The prevailing opinion at the Vatican Is
that the pope Is likely to appoint the
Right Rev. James Edwards Qulgley, bish
op of Buffalo, N. Y., to the archbishop
ric of Chicago, notwithstanding he has
expressed preference for him remaining
In Buffalo. In event of Bishop Qulgley
not being appointed, the congregation of
the propaganda Is likely to request that
a new list of candidates be submitted.
American Leases Battle Abbey.
NEW YORK. Aug. 25. Battle Abbey,
the historic pile which marks the spot
where Harold, surrounded by his Saxons,
fell before the ax of William the Con
queror at the battle of Hastings, has been
'leased for a term of years, says the Her
ald, to Michael P. Grace, brother of ex
Mayor William R. Grace. Mr. Grace will
use the Abbey as a Winter residence.
For a long time Mr. Grace has leased
Lord Howe's estate in Hertfordshire for
his Winter home. Battle Abbey, which
belonged to the late Duchess of Cleve
land, widow of the fourth and last Duke
of Cleveland, and mother of Lord Rose
bery. was sold at auction last Autumn to
Sir Augustus Frederick Walpole Webster,
a descendant of Sir Thomas Webster,
who bought the Abbey from the sixth

Anglo-Canadian fast mall service.
History, said Mr. Newbon, Is now made
by millionaires. One of these told him
that If the Britishers did not appreciate
the advantages of Mllford, Americans
would form a pool and utilize It. America
