OREGON MINES GAIN Output of Precious Metals on the Increase," BAKER STILL IN THE LEAD Alaska Is Producing Less Gold Than Formerly Idaho and Washing ton Not Up to Previous Records. OREGONIAls NEWS BUREAU, TVash lngton, D. C, Nov. 7. Compared with oth er states in the "West, and with Alaska as well, Oregon made a most creditable showing, proportionately, with Its gold production in 1901, according to reports that have been received by the Director of. the Mint. The official report on Ore gon's gold output was prepared by F. A. "Wing, Assayer at the Government assay office at Seattle. By way of introduction Mr. Wing says: "By a thorough and systematic method of checking the receipts of bullion and ores originating in Oregon, deposited and shipped to the several Assay offices, mints, smelters and refineries of the United States and British Columbia, the output of 1901 was found to be as follows: Ounces. Value. Sold 88,759 $1,834,821 Silver 1(3,873 211,876 The copper output was valued at $4103 and the lead at $1631, making a total valu ation of $2,052,433. There was a gain of $146,257 in the output for the year over that of 1900, notwith standing the fact that some of the mines wro closed down fqr part or all of the year, some for the purpose of Installing aew sinking plants or other machinery, tome from labor troubles, some on ac count of the lack of ore. and other causes. The production of 1901 is given as fol lows. Value. Sold $1,727,892 silver -, 170.721 Copper 3.416 Lead 4,145 Lead of Baker County. Referring, to the lead of Baker Coun ty over all others as a gold producer, Mr. Wing says: "Lato in the year very rich ledges were tapped In the North Pole, Columbia and Goiconda. which should greatly increase the value of their product for the com ing season, unless they close down for some reason or other, which, by the way, seems to be the vogue In Oregon. Should it ever be the good fortune to have all the well-developed and producing mines in Oregon run continuously for a whole year, they should produce something near ly approaching the output claimed for the state by its hitherto misinformed press. The facts are good enough. Oregon is rich In mineral resources. It only needs a trip through the mining districts of Coos, Baker, Union, Grant, Crook, Jack son, Lane, Josephine, Malheur and other counties to convince the most skeptical that a magnificent future awaits this grand state in point of mineral wealth. "New conditions have arisen and are being promptly met; old processes that have proven unprofitable are being efts carded, and new ones installed. In even district new mills are being erected and old ones Increased, demonstrating the fact that Oregon's mining Industry Is in a healthy condition. Much prospecting is being done in all directions, and new districts are coming Into prominence by the very fact of the wonderful showing made. Among the new districts in East ern Oregon that are attracting attention and bid fair to become prominent, are the Greenhorn, lying west of Sumpter, and the Quartzburg, to the southwest. The placers of Josephine and Jackson coun ties continue to be large producers, and the Bohemia quartz properties are con tributing their usual quota to the output of the state. Extensive Improvement in the way of hydraulic machinery to sup plant the old ground sluicing processes has had a tendency to stimulate the old time activity in Gallce Creek, and the output of Coyote district in northern Josephcne, shows a material increase. Policy Bad for State. "The disposition on the part of many of those interested in the mining Industry 9f the state absolutely to refuse informa tion concerning the output of their prop erties, or to attempt wilfully to mislead one, works against the best Interests of many of the counties and is incomprehen sible. The destination of every ounce of sold or silver, whether shipped as bul lion, smelting ores or concentrates, can be nnd is ascertained, and furnishes the to tals published above, but exact credit can not be given to the several counties and districts until the operators in the afore said counties and districts will furnish reliable figures for that purpose." Of tre total gold produced in Oregon $1, 415,100 was quartz, $412,895 placer, $516 from copper ores, and $6403 from lead ores. Correspondingly, $204,513 of the sliver was quartc. $4357 from lead ores, and $3006 placer. The great bulk, 5SS0.493, of Oregon gold round Its way to the assay office at Boise; E 63.214 went to the San Francisco mint; 5.826 to the Philadelphia mint, while only J4S39 went to the Seattle assay office, the balance going to Helena and Denver. Of the silver product. $18,909 went to Boise, $2500 to San Francisco, and the rest scat tered in small quantities. Washington's Gold Slump. Mr. "Wine is also author of the report on gold production in "Washington in 190L He says: "The output of precious metals in "Washington for the calendar year 1901 was: ,. ,. Value. Gold. 21.987 ounces $ C61 239 Silver, 237.3S1 ounces 4S7V7 Copper. 29.520 pounds 4757 Xead. 216.S41 pounds 9390 Total $1,163 320 "For 1900 the production of Washington was: 1 1 - ,. Value. Gold. 3o.421 ounces $732436 Silver. 302.569 ounces 391201 Copper. 36.S31 pounds 5S2 Lead, 1,091,945 pounds 47J71S "The condition of the mining industry in the State of Washington might be stated to be 'about the same'; in fact, it Is convalescent, slightly recovering from the depressing effect of the temporary di version of capital to the more alluring Alaska field. The actual production shows a slight decrease, but the close of the present season will show a betterment not only in the way of development, but in a largely increased production. During the past year the Monte Cristo district has perfected permanent connection with the outside world again by the complete re construction of the Everett & Monte Cristo Railroad, and the mines at this place were among the heaviest producers of the state for the season. To offset this gain some of the producing mines in other sections were idle, awaiting trans portation for their ores, or for the pur poses of Improving their plants, so that the average production has hardly held its own within the past season. Republic Has Been Very Quiet. "Republjc, in Ferry County, has been very quiet. It seems to bo the prevalent Impression that the new mill built for the treatment of local ores has not met' the requirements, and that has had a de pressing effect upon the camp as a whole, necessitating the piling up of ore on the dump to await the completion of the rail road now building into the district. It is expected there will be an outlet to the smelter for hundreds of tons of rich oro early in the year, which will revive the Industry at this point. The district has not remained wholly inactive, for much In the way of permanent develop ment was accomplished all along the line. "In Stetens County th& properties of the Cedar Canyon Consolidated Mining Com pany report a large output for the sea son. The bulk of the silver and lead pro duced In Washington comes from Stevens County, and while the low prices pre vailing for both silver and lead have had a depressing effect, causing the closing down of some of the old-time producers, others have kept steadily grinding. "The district in the pper end of Chelan County can safely be classed among the prosperous districts of the state when de velopment and not production Is being dls- 1 cussed, for much in tho way of active 1 work was done during the year on many , of its promising properties. Rumors are rife of smelters to be built and railroads to bo constructed, and actual work was , begun In some sections along the banks , of Lake Chelan, notably at Railroad Creek. This portion of the state is un doubtedly rich in mineral wealth. On the Stehekln and Methow many of Okanogan County's best mines are situated. To the north of Lake Chelan are the rich dls- j tricts of Mount Baker and Slayden Creek, and to the west 1b a territory of many miles rich In gold, silver, copper and lead, which presents as Inviting a field for investment of capital as4 can be found on the Pacific Coast. Go south on the Cascade Range as far as the southern boundary ofthe state and in even por tion large mineral deposits have long been known to exist In paying quantities, and only await'investment of capital iu dlciously expended by practical men. In Clark County large quantities of copper bearing ore are claimed to have been un covered that bid fair to rival the wonder ful mines of Butte. The placers of the Swauk in Kittitas County were large pro ducers during the season. "The gold production of Washington was distributed as follows: $55S In quartz. 1 $102,387 placer, and $124 from copper ores. Of the silver, $424,9S was quartz. $o9,7& from lead ores, $1892 from copper ores, and $1290 placer." Strange to say (and no explanation Is offered by the assayer), but $67,504 of Washington gold found Its way to the Seattle assay office In 1901, the rest being shipped at follows: $1677 to the Philadel phia mint, $43,276 to the San Francisco mint, $4048 to tho Boise assay office. $536 to Denver, $30,750 to Helena, and the bulk, $305,053, to New York. Likewise, only $1179 of the silver went to the Seattle office, while $9752 went to New York, and the balance was distributed in small quan tities to other points. Idaho's Output Declines. J. "W. Cunningham, assayer at Boise, makes the report on Idaho. He says: "There has been a decrease in all the precious metals as compared with 1900. This Is due to various causes, all of which are but temporary. It Is ex pected that the production for the pres ent year (1902) will be much greater. In 1901 there was a gold production of 92. 750 ounces, valued, at $1,917,313, and sil ver production of 5,591,734 ounces, valued at $7,223,717. Owyhee County produced $801,382 in gold, leading all others. Boise being second with $374,243. Shoshone was the leading silver-producing county, re porting a total output of $5,610,403, Owy hee being second with $1,377,186. The to tal lead production of Idaho In 1901 was 162.553,039 pounds, valued at $7,314,SSS." The Boise assay office handled Idaho gold valued at $737,154, and sliver valued at $14,170, while from Montana it han dled $142,582" In gold and silver, $899,401 from Oregon (of which $SS0,491 was gold), $11,129 from Utah, $4095 from Washington, and $2157 from the 'Northwest Territory, being a total from outside sources of $1,810,691. Also a Decrease in Alaska. The Director of the Mint has for sev eral years secured his data regarding Alaska's gold output from Charles G. Yale, who makes the report for 190L In opening Mr. Yale says: 'It Is extremely difficult to ascertain the exact output of the various districts of Alaska. Some exactness is possible with Nome, hut even in that case the figures Include the output of creeks some distance from that place, but tributary to it. The returns of the United States mints and assay offices, and private re fineries and smolters throughout the United States, must be depended upon to ascertain the approximate yield of Alaska from year "to year. "In 1901 Alaska yielded 372.607 ounces of gold, valued at $6,932,226. and 57,149 ounces of silver, valued at $66,499 (coinage value). This was a falling off in the gold product from $S,1C6.187 In 1900, and from $96,734 in silver for that same year." The reasons assigned for this deficit have heretofore been published In these dispatches. It has also been shown that of tho total, $1,110,712 in gold was produced at Nome and tributary points, while $1,931,775 came from Douglas Island, leaving a balance of $885,264 coming from Circle City, Forty Mile, Koyukuk, Manook, Yukon River and Cook's Inlet, and the quartz mines wast the most productive creek In the Nome district, was worked extensively, of Unga Island. "Anvil Creek, which in former years A number of bench claims have proved to be rich, and were worked successfully. The pumping plant in course of construc tion by the Wild Goose Mining Com pany, which will supply water to the benches on Anvil, will probably be com pleted by the middle of August, 1902, and then large results are predicted for this vicinity. Glacier Creek and its principal tributary, Snow Gulch, were worked In a desultory way. A number of rich benches have been thoroughly proved, but on account of the litigation and the scar city of water, very little work was done during the year. These creeks are to be supplied with water furnished by the ditch constructed last year, and the out put for the present season is expected to be large. Conservative experts predict that Snow Gulch and Glacier benches will produce $3,000,000 during the next two years. "Dexter Creek was in about the same condition as Glacier Creek; development is predicted with the Introduction of water. Along the southern slope of An vil Mountain, three or four miles from the beach, are a number of small creeks which show good pay. They only await water. Nome on the Decline. "Productivo mining on the beach at Nome." says the report, "Is a thing of the past. Considerable work was done during the season with sluice-boxes and rockers, but the results were unsatisfac tory, if the reports of those engaged la this class of mining are to be credited On the brow of the hill back of the town of Nome, where the ground slopes down to Dry Creek, a deposit of ruby sand, similar to that found on the beach, has been discovered in several places! Three or four strings of sluices were operated in this locality during the sea son. One of these plants, with eight or ten men employed, produced $400 to $600 per day for a short time during the lat ter part of the season, but the pay streak is narrow and exceedingly thl,n. and will soon be worked out There are still many practical miners at Nome, however, who have faith in the possibilities of the tundra diggings. With Improved meth ods and lower wages, considerable gold will no doubt be extracted from this class of mints. "The Bonanza mining district, adjoin ing Nome on the east, was well pros pected, and two or three creeks were worked systematically, and nothing there has been comparable with the rich creeks In the Nome district. A company has been organized to construct a railroad through the Bonanza district, beginning at Port Safety, 30 miles east of Nome, traversing the Solomon Valley, and end ing at Council City, a distance of 45 miles. It Is expected to bo completed this- Summer. This railroad will open up rich creeks In tho Golovln Bay coun try. "Ophlr Creek is the richest and most extensive creek In the Golovin Ba,y dis trict. It is without doubt the best creek yet discovered in Northeastern Alaska, and will continue to be a great producer for many years to come. This region will be conected with the railroad by an other line running out trom Council City. "The Topkuk district. 60 miles east of Nome, showed little activity. Daniels Creek, which produced $800,000 In 1900, re ported 8 mall returns. Swede Creek, emp tying Into Bering Sea, contains three or four claims which prospect well. Teller City Deserted. "Teller City, which sprung up 80 miles west of Nome.. In 1S93 and 1900, and be came a flourishing town of over 1500 peo ple, and threatened to outdo Nome as a port and mining center, was at the close of the past season practically deserted. Most all the claims of the district were held up by litigation during the year, and It was impossible to determine wheth er the natural resources of the country along Bluestone River will Justify the prediction. "A great deal of prospecting was done on tho streams emptying Into Kotzebuo Sound, on the north side of the Nome Peninsula. Many creeks show good pros pects. Late in the season sensational re ports were received from Candle Creek, wnere claims are reported to nave snown from $1 to $10 a pan; but these reports lack confirmation. Making all due allow ance for exaggeration, however, it can EARNED THEIR EDUCATION IN jjnfjt ARTHUR AND LEONARD HEACOCK, OF DAWSON. NEWBERG, Or., Nov. 8. (Special ) Arthur and Leonard Heacock, the two bright youths pictured In the accompanying Illustration, are attending Pacific College here, having come all the way from Dawson and the northern gold fields to obtain an education. According to the Dawson Dally News they are the youngest miners in the Klondike district, having done some successful prospecting and mining on their own hook. Tho elder of the two boys la 10 5 ears old, the other two years ounger. "While Hlng with their parents, they have oRened up a way to securing an education through their own efforts, halng within the last three years earned $2000 In the Klondike. They made this money by various methods. In the Summer they gathered berries, captured driftwood In the Yukon, and did miscellaneous work for others. Last Winter and Summer they mined on Skokum gulcK. They sank holes through tho frozen ground and continued their work In the coldest weather. Their story is an Interesting one to their fellow-students here, with whom they are already popular for their resourceful and gentlemanly bearing. be predicted that tho streams tributary to Kotzebue Sound will yield millions of precious metals in the near future. Within a few hundred miles of the re gion now under consideration will be found the verification of Humboldt's pre diction that the greatest gold deposits of the world will be discovered within tho Arctic Circle. "Good reports continue to come from the Kokukuk, a tributary of the Yukon. One hundred and fifty thousand dollars was brought out from its diggings last year. More than half "Of this came from Emma Creek. Provisions cost $1 a pound at this point, however, making it impossible to work any but the rich est claims. The commercial companies are making every effot to meet the de mand, and good returns may be expected from this district in the near future. Little Work at Circle. "Very little work was done at Circle. The production was supposed to be about $200,000. Many miners are returning to this field, after a season or two spent at Nome and Dawson. Rampart Just about held Its own, Its output being $150,000. Some new discoveries have been made, which are expected to Increase the out put this year. The claims on the Ameri can side of Forty Mile district were worked In a desultory way, the output being $250,000. "Sensational reports havo been received of a big strike on Chicken Creek, which empties Into the Forty Mile River about 125 miles from .Its mouth. This strike, which occurred during the past Winter, has resulted in a stampede from Daw son. "The most important quartz mines In Alaska are on Douglas Island. Its three mines In 1901 worked 1,267,212 tons of ore, yielding practically $2,000,000. The largest of the properties obtained a gross yield of $LSS per ton, and paid dividends on that. This Is the cheapest mining and milling In tho United Statesr The three mines employed 910 miners." Road Trouble Compromised. ST. HELENS, Or., Nov. 9. (Special.) The County Court has compromised the t road trouble at Deer Island with Pat Hugncs tor $200. The products of several caw and shingle mills, as well as many ' cords of wood, had to be hauled over a bad hill, and Hughes had won a victory ' over the petitioners twice In the County ' Court and once In tno Circuit Court. Tho proposed change in the road will now be made at once. Accept Place on Board. SALEM. Or., Nov. 9. (Special.)

WALLACE, Idaho, Nov. 9. Two dead and two wounded is the result of a shoot ing affray at the entrance of the Wallace j place Just as the theater-goers were leav- NORTHERN GOLD COUNTRY ing the theater, following a performance by the James Neill company. The dead are: Dr. Wr. F. Flms, shot through the head. William Cuff, miner, shot three times, died in 15 minutes. The wounded: Chief of Police McGovern, shot through right hand. Opera-House Policeman Rose, shot in leg. The trouble arose over Cuff insisting upon smoking a cigar in the gallery. House Policeman Rose ordered him to de sist, but he refused. The policeman took the cigar away from Cuff after a struggle. Cuff left the theater vowine venceance. He returned shortly with a revolver and ' waited until the performance was over. I Rose was tho first man out of the opera house. As he stepped outside Cuff began firing. The first shots missed and Rose returned the fire. Dr. Flms, who was" escorting a lady, followed Rose out, and as he did so, a bullet, presumably from Cuff's revolver, struck him in the head, killing him Instantly. Other policemen appeared at this moment and a general fusillade followed. The panic-stricken theater-goers stam peded back Into the foyer, men and women being trampled in the mad rush to get away, tjun continued firing, wounding Chief of Police McGovern and. Special Of ficer Rose. Cuff then started to escape, running around the corner of the theater.

BOISE, Ida., Nov. 9. Special.) The State Land Board held two meetings to day, at one of which the action of the Commissioner of the Interior Department in ordering that no more patents be Issued under tho Carey Act for Idaho lands until the state law had been amended, was discussed at length. While no defi nite conclusion was reached, It Is likely Governor Morrison will be requested to go to Washington to appear on behalf of tho board before tho Secretary of the Interior and secure a modification of tho order so that patents may issue to bona fide settlers. Representatives of the American Falls, Marysville and Canyon Canal Companies were present and all expressed a willing ness to waive tho feature 'of tho law that la objected to by the department and Join in requesting a modification of the order so as to make an exception in the case3 of actual settlers. Messrs. Crltch low and Filer, of the Twin Falls Com pany, will appear before the board, and If they too agree to a waiver, it is moro than likely a decision will be reached to send a representative to Washington to ask for a modification of the order. At the afternoon session of the board, Messrs. Sweet and Lee, of Salt Lake, attorneys for the American Falls Canal & Power Company, appeared and asked that the contract minimum price of water be Increased from $15 to $25 an acre. The original estimate of cost was $325, 000, but the attorneys Informed the board it had developed that the actual cost would be In the neighborhood of $600,000. The request was taken under advisement. NORTHWEST DEAD. E. A. Shaw. FORESTGROVE, Or., Nov. 9. (Special.) E. A. Shaw, aged 77 years, died at his home at Thatcher yesterday.
