OREGON MINERAL PRODUCTS.
State Yielded Gold Valued at $1,211,
900 In 1905.
A bulletin of the geological survey
says:
The stnte of Oregon produced gold
valued at $1, 244, 900 In 1905, and all
ver worth 354,299. This was some
what less than In 1904. The greatest
loss In gold was recorded In Baker
county. In the northeastern part of the
state, and In Jackson county In the
southwestern region.
The decreased output of sliver was
chiefly noted from Baker and Grant
counties; the southwestern districts
produced very little silver. Northeast
ern Oregon yielded about 3880,000 In
gold from the Blue mountains, while
the gold belt in tho southwest, which
Includes Josephine, Lane, Jackson
Douglas, Curry and Coos counties, and
mny be considered as the extension of
the gold-bearing area of northern
California, produced the remainder,
or 1364,900.
The most notable feature of recent
years was the extension of the pro
ductlve area northward Into Lane
county, among tho veins contained In
tertiary lavas, as In the Bluo river
(Lucky Boy mine) and the Bohemia
districts.

WOULD
ABOLISH
SCHOOL
SENATOR DUBOIS dis-
CUSSES CARLISLE.
ICtlm-nteri Indians Go Hack to Their
Olil Wnys Committee on Indian
Aflali-s llcoommemls Entire Sus
pension ot Carlisle Imlinn School.
The proposition ot abolishing the
Carlisle Indian school, which has
been recommended by the sub-committee
of the senate on Indian affairs
has awakened great Interest In offic
ial Washington. Senator Dubois, who
la a member of the committee, said
today: '
"We nre doing away with the Car
lisle school because, In our opinion,
it does no good. The Indians educat
ed there, when they return to their
own people, proceed to forget all
that has been taught them and take
up the ways of their tribe.
"We have decldod there Is no way
of preventing this except to segregate
the educated Indians and keep them
away from their people. This does
not appear to be feasible, or. If feas
ible, would be exceedingly expensive.
"On the other hand, we have found
that Indian children educated on the
reservation not only do better, but
their parents learn the advantages of
the schools, and the general effect of
the system Is excellent.
"In the case of the Carlisle school
the students aro taken so far from
their reservations, nre so absolutely
separated from their relatives that
the bonds between them are virtual
ly severed. . When they are re-established,
at the end of the school period
It Is the btudent who Is drawn back
Ir.to the conditions from which the
government had removed him, and
not he people of his tribe who are
elevated In any way by his educa
tion."
Surprise to the East.
Th" Carlisle school was establlsh-
d in 1879, and has heretofore been
regarded as an excellently conducted
Institution, the effects of which were
of greater benefit to the Indians gen
erally, not only In the fact that it was
uplifting the Indian race, but that It
was constantly demonstrating the ca
pabilities of the race for better
thing".
Announcement that it is to be
abandoned, therefore, is likely to
cause a great dcmonstratlqn among
"astern people. The last Indian ap
propriation Mil not only carried the
regular appropriation for the main
tenance of the school, $158,000, but
lnvascd the total amount to $172.-
000, providing In the Increase an ad
dition of $1000 to the salary of the
nipcrlntendent: an appropriation of
$2500 to construct a cottage for the
school physician, and $10,000 to build
a new hospital.
Hoiie Showed Unfriendliness.
An appropriation for the mainte-
nanca of the schcol was made by
the house at the session, nnd it is this
provision the senate committee has
stricken out. There Is slight nossi-
blilty that It may be restored. Tha
senate may not agree with the com
mittee, or the house may insist upon
Its appropriation when the bill
reaches conference. It Is declared
In tbe senate, however, that the house
committee on Indian affairs virtually
a:;res with the senate committee up
on the absolute failure of the school
to accomplish any useful purpose.
in me nouse Dili tnere Is a pro
vision that none of the money appro
printed for superintendents of Indian
schools shall be expended for the em
ployment of army officers. This
was constructed to be an attack up
on the imCtutinn at Carlisle, and is
regarded now as a manifestation of
unfriendliness upon the part of the
house to I he Carlisle schcol,
As the senate hill now stands, the
school will cease to exist with the end
of the comnlg .Tune.
The number of students new In the
institution is between 800 and 900

VOLCANIC ASH ON CROPS.
Yli'lds on tlio nnrlmdoea Cut Down by
Ashes.
Consul Arthur J. Clare of Barba
dos, advises that W. N. Sands, agri
cultural superintendent of St. Vin
cent, has forwarded to the British
Imperial department of agriculture for
the west Indies the following notes on
the influence of volcanic ash on crops
In that Island:
As far as St. Vincent wis concerned
the advantage of the volcanic ash
which fell during the last eruption of
Coufrlere was practically 1)11, as, with
the exception of sugar cane and legu
minous crops, such as pigeon peas and
groundnuts, no other crops can be
grown satisfactorily In It. Of course
the rainfall of the Island Is a heavy
one, but even during two or three
weeks of dry weather plants suffer
severely.
Take for Instance cacao. On the
leeward side of the Island, In those
districts where a large amount of ash
fell, the trees are producing little or
nothing. They are much diseased and
present an unhealthy appearance gen-
erally. On the windward side of the
Island, at Mount Bentlnck estate, the
cacao trees are doing well, and this Is
due to the ash being entirely talfcn
from around the tree after the erup
flon. On the leeward side the cacao
trees were not treated In this way,
and on inspection the flelils or Messrs.
MacDonnld brothers, at Richmond
Vale, It was seen that the ash from
the first eruption had set almost like
concrete over the surface of the orig
inal soil, killing, of course, a large
proportion of the roots near the sur
face; hence the bad condition of the
trees.
Cotton, again, Is more or less a
failure In volcanic ash. Mr. Thornton
and myself recently Inspected large
areas In the Carlb country, and, a
mentioned previously, only deep cul
tivation and a system of mixing .with
the ash a large quantity of organ'c
matter, by means of manure and
green dressings, will bring back the,
lands to such a condition as will ena
ble crops like arrowroot and cotton to
be successfully grown.
The growth of the pigeon pea plant
ed thfckly and buried In the ash Just
before It reaches the flowering stage
would help considerably. This plant
grows extremely well and sends out
a large number of roots into the ash,
which, when examined, are found to
bear a large number of nodules.
The planting of sugar cane, which
requires deep cultivation In order to
produce a- satisfactory . crop, would
also help, but a system of green dress
ings of leguminous plants appears to
hold out most hope of success In the
reclamation of these lands with a large
proportion of ash and sand.
Washington Letter
Washington, Jan. IT. Three mem
bers of the house have been promoted
to the senate In the past few days. It
Is true that they will not take their
seats for some time' yet, two of them
not until March 4, but as they have
all been endorsed by a caucus of the
majority of the legislature In each In
stance, their election Is assured.
Everyone Is pleased with the selec
tion of William Alden Smith to suc
ceed General Alger. Mr. Smith began
his service In congress wltn the 64th
congress, and Is now serving his sixth
term. The last time there was a eon-
! ,e"t Mr- Smith received 30,000 votes
)to 12,000 votes for tho democratic can
dldate, whose name was also Smith.
The last election the democrats did
not think it worth while to put up nn
opposing candidate, so Mr. Smith was
unanimously elected. He is 46 years
old and at present his only committee
assignment Is on the ways and means
committee of the house.
Scarcely less popular with his asso
ciates Is Representative Curtis of Kan
sas, who will succeed Senator Benson,
wno was appointed to the vncancy
left by the resignation of Senator
Burton. Curtis has Indian blood In
his veins and has been a lending mem
ber of the committee on Indian af
fairs. He has -also served a lotig time In
congress, having been originally elect
ed to the 53d congress.
The youngest man of the three Is
Representative Dixon, the representa
tive at large from Montana, who will
succeed Senator Clark. He was born
In 1867 and will be 40 yeurs old next
July. He Is serving hie second term
In congress. It Is said that Represen
tative Dixon has been recognized by
the speaker for the purpose of calling
up bills more times than any other
representative during his term of serv
ice. FEW NEGRO DIVORCES.
Ancient Usage Observed Among Ah.
origin ics.
It Is said that divorces are rare
among those tribes who lead a simple
life undisturbed, says the Southern
Workmsn. As with civilized people,
marriages cannot be dissolved with
out formality. Princesses of the gold
coabt only have the privilege of sep
arat'ng from their husbands without
formality. Some white clay handed
to the husband Is a sign of dismissal.
Common people, on the other hand,
hnve to appear before the chiefs,
who decide the case. If they present
the wife with a piece of white clay
she must mark the trees of the prin
cipal streets of the village as a sign
tnat she I no longer a wedded wife.
If the divorce Is granted to the man
the wile's family must return the
equivalent of the purchase money.
Old age among the true negroes, as
among many other peoples, Is held In
high esteem. Contrary to the popu
lar notion, the family life of many
African tribes before they came In
contact with European civilization,
was beautiful.

UNION PACIFIC COL
LIERIES ARE IDLE.
Fuel Sliortage In Umj West Is Partly
Explained by tho Shortage of Labor
in Wyoming Coal Mine Union
Pacific mIimh Are Lying- Idle at
Rcxjk Spring, Hnnnn and Other
Points.
The following from the Cheyonne
Tribune concerning the labor shortage
In the coal mines of Wyoming gives
an Insight Into the fuel situation on
th Pacific coast:
According to the statement of the
officials of the Union Pacific Coal
company here, the company Is suf
fering from a labor famine and sev
eral big mines at Hanna, Rock
Springs and other points are lying"
idle simply because men cannot be se
cured to work the colUeries.
The statement was made this morn
ing by a prominent official of the U.
P. Coal company that fully 600 ex
perienced miners can find ready em
ployment In the enmpa of the company
along the Union Pacific.
It Is this shortnge of labor that Is
partially responsible for the coal
famine which has been experienced In
the west during the past two months.
The output of the Union Pacific coal
mines during 1906 was 3,341,080 tons.
an Increase over 1905 of 297,496 tons.
but the demand was and Is still so
great that if men can be secured the
Wyoming coal production during 1907
will be a record breaker.
At Hanna, two mines are being
worked but the third mine, fully de
veloped with btiildlngs instructed
and everything In readiness Is lying;
idle simply because miners cannot be
secured to wort It. At Rock Springs
the company Is operating only fine
mines. At Cumberland two of the
three mines are working, although
the third has been closed down' for
two weeks on account of the recent
fire in the colliery and this will be
opened up soon. .
Nephl P.lrch vlsltt-d a mining claim

shaft by a ladder. It was too dark
at the bottom of the shnft for Birch
to see what was there besides him
self, and while he was yet "batting"
his eyes he was attacked by a coyote
which had fallen- Into th shaft. He
killed the animal, but was badly
chewed and scratched, and the out
come would have hen doubtful had
not Birch gotten hold of an old steol
