Wash ington. June t. The delayed report of the United States Geological Survey on production of gold, silver, copper, lead and sine daring the year 1009. reviews briefly the condition of the mining in dustry In each of the mining states and shows the output of these five metals In Oregon aggregated 1827.001. Dis cussing the metal production of Ore gon, the report says: "For the calendar year 1909 operators of 1J mines, of which 66 were deep and were placers, reported produc tion from Oregon. The number of deep mines is the sams as In 1908, but there was a decrease of 77 productive placers In 190S. The aggregate out put of these mines was valued at $827. 001. Of the total output the gold yield was 17,827.61 One ounces, valued at 1781. ,64; the silver yield was 27,827 ounces, valued at 614,470: the copper, 236,000 pounds, valued at J30.6EO, and the lead. 400 pounds, ' valued at 617. In 1808 the total value of all the metals produced In Oregon was 1928, 787, so that the decrease tn value of output for 1900 was $98,786. The total quantity of ore mined and treated In 1909 was 69,261 short tons, an increase of 8567 tons. The elllclous ores amounted to 67.634 tons In 1909. an in crease of 9083 tons as compared with the production of 1908; the copper ores, amounting to 1647 tons, decreased 486 tons. Trie average value of slliclous ore per ton In gold and silver In 1908 was $9.87. as compared with $12.49 In 1908, which In part accounts for the falling off In total gold yield. The copper ore smelted In 1909 yielded an average value of $2.92 per ton In gold or silver. The average recovered value per ton of all metals was $9.87 In the slliclous ores In 1909, as compared with $18.60 In 1908. Baker Leads in Deep Mines. The largest production from deep mines was from Baker County, and of placer mines from Josephine County. The most productive Quarts mine in the state was In Baker County, and the most productive placer (dredged) was in Jackson County. Sixty-five quarts mines produced gold In 1909. one more than In 1908.

Baker County made the largest silver output. 19.614 fine ounces, valued at $10,147. which was more than tenfold that of any other county In the state, only one of the others having reached as high In product as 1900 fine ounces. The copper output was entirely de rived from Josephine County, and $4700 in gold and 227 fine ounces of silver wsrs recovered with It. Oregon Has) Two Districts.- Southwestern and Northeastern Ore gon form two distinct mining regions, which differ In character of deposits and ores. The mines in Southwestern Ore gon, an extension of the California gold belt, made a combined gold production of $274,246. which Is an increase of 623. 601 over the output of 1908.

MEDFORD,- Or, June 10, (Special.) Representatives of 130.000 acres of privately owned timber lands in Jacle son County, met this afternoon, and organized the Jackson. County Forest Fire Protective Association, under the guidance of C. t. Chapman, of Portland, and F. A. Elliott, State Forester. The association will take Immediate steps to have the privately-owned timber lands of the county patrolled in order to prevent loss during the fire season. It Is estimated that It will cost them about two cents an acre to properly guard the forests. Last season the loss In timber In this county was heavy, and most of the fires originated In private timber lands where no patrol was maintained as In the Government reserve. This year the timber owners will co-operate with the officials of the Crater National forest and It is believed that loss will be kept at a minimum.

ANCIENT DEEDS RECALLED Denmark, Norway- and Sweden Axe Represented at Fete by Ships, President Fallieres Attends Anniversary Event. ROUES, June 10. (Special.) Visi tors to this picturesque city-of Nor mandy are seeing France at Its best and gayest. For Rouen Is cdJebratlng the historical festival that commemo rates the events of a thousand years of progress. A week ago the harbor was cleared for a repetition of the old Viking In vasions, and the peaceful successors of their more warlike predecessors are having a tremendous reception. The northern ships lie along the Cour de Boildleu. opposite the Exchange and therefore are visible to' all who throng Rouen. Denmark Is represented by the war ships Taelmdal," "Freja" and "Thor" and a fourth vessel bearing some 600 modern Vikings and their womenfolk, while several wealthy Danes are also there aboard their private yachts. Nor way has sent the warship "Frlthlor" and Sweden the "Fylgla." And to com plete the new Invasion there Is the Femborlng a fishing boat after the Viking style rowed from Bergen to Rouen by four Norwegian students, the real heroes of the festival. "Ifur Blowers" Present. With the Vikings are two "lur blow ers." as In the days of yore. A "lur" Is a mighty and very picturesque copper horn, the oldest musical Instrument in existence, of which the Danish National Museum has some fine specimens 2000 years old or more. President Fallieres is here to grace the celebrations and the city is illumi nated and the searchlights of the war ships are playing along tha heights of Bon Secours. From the opening or ine Normandy exhibition to the end last week there was a crowded programme of entertainments on land and water, including an open-air pageant at. the Cour d'Albans, when' the history of Normandy was shown from early Vi king days, through English warfare and the stormy times of Joan of Arc down to the present. Rouen Is one of the richest cities of France In its connection with great men. so poetry and are receiving a good shore of recognition. In visits to the houses of such famous lormer ciu sens as Cornellle and Flaubert. The festivities concluded, the Norse men will have the choice of remaining here as the guests of the town, or of being Junketed a whole lot more by the people of Paris, who have arranged fetes, concerts, receptions and a huge banquet In their honor. Slab Marks Battleground. On the little bridge of Notre Dame, leading to the right side of the river, where there was a fight in the long ago by the real Vikings and the native citizens, there will be a special- cere mony, conducted by the society called the Souvenir Normand. A stone slab at that spot records that 12 Vikings fell In the fight, and now that slab is decorated with a wreath of palms. There have been learned debates be tween Danish and Norwegian profes sors as to whether the early Invaders, Rollo and Rolf, were really two persons or only one, and whether Norway or Denmark could claim them as citizens, but In this actual celebration they are acting in unison, and their handsome presents to Rouen have been much ad mired. Denmark has sent a huge vase, decorated with Vikings and their ships; Sweden's gift is a replica of a beauti ful old-gold necklet, and Norway's of fering is a model of an early Viking ship. PRISON F0R DEBT. Ancient Creditor Held Body and Even Life of Indebted as Chattel. ' Harper's. The growth of law governing the debtor, which has resulted In the free dom of today, forms one of the noblest chapters In the complex evolution of the modern man. The ancient creditor held the body, or even the life, of the Indebted man as his own chattel, but In modern or Christian procedure only the prisoner's liberty was abridged. As late as 1830 Whlttler made his Impas sioned plea In behalf of the prisoner for debt. He painted a harrowing pic ture of the aged Continentals, who were rotting their lives slowly away. because creditors had put these sons of poverty behind bars. The poet de manded that the prison's living tomb be opened and the victims of a savage code be released: ''Nor dare as crime to brand The chastening of the Almighty's hand." In a word Whlttler demanded that Massachusetts follow New York, led by young Fillmore. Robert Morris, our Ilnanciai ouraen bearer In the Revolution, suffered RWes because unfortunate In business. Thurlow Weed's father was kept in prison for a debt of $20. Some -student might find a theme for a noble thesis In studying the evolution of public sentiment In this matter. It is certain that Mr. Fillmore was the principal author of the act of the New Tork As sembly, passed April 1, 183L and signed by the Governor April 26, making Im prisonment for debt Impossible in the F.mnira State. Happily the other com monwealths In time followed her noble example. Almost equally important was tha bill relative to the competency of wit nesses in court. At this time the testi mony of any man reputed to dlsbelie'Ve In the Deity, or state of future rewards and punishment was not received. Fillmore took the ground that "it Is utterly Impossible, In the very nature of things, for one man to know an other's religious sentiments." In one comty a man was indicted for mur der. The only witness was a friend of the accused. Not wishing to give testi mony against his Intimate, this man. who knew the facts, gave it out to a third person that he did not believe In a Deity or In retribution hereafter. He was, therefore, greatly to his own wicked satisfaction, declared Incompe tent, and the murderer was acquitted. Indeed, all the members of one of the Christian sects were by their own creed incompetent to testify. The law framed by Fillmore, now In substance adopted everywhere In the United States, was In harmony with the Na tional and state constitutions, which declare that "no other oath, declara tion or test shall be required ss a qualification for any office or public trust."
