Inopeclor John Ucrmlnghnm haB correctly placed tho responsibility for Iho frightful loss of Ilfo In tho wrock of tho Columbia equally on tho tfflcars In chargo of tho two ships nt tho time of tho collision. Tho cnptnln of tho Columbia wont down with his ship nnd Is beyond tturtrmn Jurisdiction. Tho chiof mnto of tho Snn Pedro Is punished to the extent of tho Inw 'Thy "being deprived of IiIh llconso for many yonrs to como. Tho inaBlor of tho San Podro wn found guilty of negligence In not glvlng Biimclontly explicit JnBtructlons to tho officer on watch. As nil tho Instructions nocosflnry.vroro to obey tho laws, Captain Honso.i -vns "virtually found guilty or non-onforcomont of .discipline and his 11 cunHU wnB Btispondod for ono year.

Amordlug to tho Inst reports of tho stale inspector of coal mines THE AVERAGE COST OF PRODl'tTlOV OF COAL MINIJI) IN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON IS 2 PER TON. TIiIh Ih thu actual cunt to thu mine opurator and Includes evory ponl falo Hum that may bit figured .In cunt of production. n u groat many mt m tho cost of production Is considerably loss than thu llguro iiuinud, but tho Inspector places $2 as an nvorngo on domestic cotil. Taking tho Carbon Hill Coal company for an uxnmplo, as tho cost of production at this mluo Is ilgurud at a trlllu loss than tho average, and 'thu fnilght rulo Is about tho highest of any coal that Is now Hhlppod to tliu Noutllu market, soiiiu startling deductions may bo drawn. All of tho coal of this company that Is sold on tho local mnrkot Is "handled by HuhwuII & company under a contract which tho looal compnny Jjub hold for sovurul years. According to tho statement of Mr, iiaswoll. tho hoad of tho company, vmly uliput 0000 Ions a mouth of thu output of thtH mluo la sold In Sout- tlo. At tho yards or Iiaswoll & company this coal Is quotod at $7 a ton. VLACING THE COST OF PRODUCTION AT S A TON, whloh, accord lug lo tho report of tho mining luspoctor, Is a conservative ostlmnto, loaded on cars and ready for Hhlpmont, allowing C5 conts n ton ror cot ot transportation and 8 cents n ton r0j switching charges, makes n TO.

"When It U considered that tho 9000 tons sold by this company is Xnuruly a small drop In tho bucket 'if tho conl consumed for domestic VurpoMR In Seattle, and only a small proportion of tho output of tho Tferliou 1 1 III company's mine, mmm Koa of tho profits on domestic coal uhl In Seattle at the prevailing prices may bo obtained. ACCORDING TO THE STATEMENTS OF MINE OWNERS A PROFIT OK 10 CUNTS A TON IS A GOOD PROFIT FOR THE OPERATION OF A rOAL .Ml NC.

From tho Far West to tho Far East. According to promlso I propose to glvo you a brief description of my trip from Oregon to Prince Edward Island from tho "Rose City'' to tho "Garden of the Gulf." I left Portland tho 8th of August, taking tho N. P. R. R. through Ta coma and Seattle thon on to Vic toria, D. C, whore I made my first halt. I was much struck with the beauty of this pleasant llttlo city by tho sen. It Is a aubatantlal city of 30,000 people, and Just now rapidly Increasing In population. For tho first tlmo In Its history it has now a vorltablo boom, Farmors who make wealth vory fast In Alberta, tho Sas Kntcjiowan and other parts of tho northwest In Cnnndn, finding It hard to withstand tho rigors of wlntor In thoso parts, como down to Victoria tho pleasantcst town on tho British conat and nro orectlng wlntor resi dences here. All ovor tho city I no- tlco Bplcndld housoa In courso of orcctlon, and thoso will be occu pied as wlntor homes by those wealthy farmers In tho future. I would not bo surprised to boo Vic toria pnsB Vancouver In population In a few years If this policy is con tinued. Whllo In Victoria I was drlvon nround tho city by Mr. Ed ward Lane, a rolatlvo of my own and fathor ot Dr. E. L. Lane, ono or Portland's most populnr dentists. I enjoyed tho drlvo lmmonsoly taking In the sights and calling on many old rrlouds. Noxt morning wo stnrted by boat for Vancouver nnd'thoro had to re main ror Bovornl hours, which wo employed In hunting up old friends nnd looking ovor tho city. Vnncou vor has a population or 4C.000 Bomo any much moro and 1b n vory prosperous and lively city. It Is tho terminus of tho Cnnndlan Pacific railway and appears to bo Inhabited by a vory onorgotlc nnd wide-nwako pooplo. Tho boat that .carried us from Victoria to Vancouver was crowded with AmerlcaiiB, Canadians, Englishmen, Irishmen and Scotch men nnd aovornl or us sat together amusing oursolvo3 guessing nt tho nationality or ouch its they walkod about tho dock or tho stoamor. It was easy to toll tho Scotchman, espe cially whon ho woro his kilts; it was easy to pick out tho Englishman when he woro his pants Instdo his socks and had a bolt around his Back coat; but as bdtween tho Cnnndlan and American wo missed tho mark iib often as wo hit It. In slzo, dross, manners nnd lnnguago wo 'could' de tect no dlfforouco, And thoy woro a choorful lot of mou nnd chtldron. Thoy tnlkod, laughod, playod nnd told storlos all togother, and were In doed u happy and harmonious fam ily. Tho sight Indood was a ploasant one pooplo of various countrl03 dwelling togothor In unity and tho bonds of love, J, H. F., St Johns, Oro. o One or the largest mineral out crops yet found In Alaska Is report ed from Prospect bay, a small In denture In tho Alaskan peninsula, which Is about J.0 miles south, as the crow files, or tho fishing village of Chlgnlk, says a Seward Gateway. This extraordinary occurrence In nature la a depoalt or what Is pri marily a copper oro, but also carrier values in gold and silver. Various forms of copper are noted In tho mineral mass chnlcopyrlte, bornitc, chnlcocite, carbonate and azurlte. Tho deposit Is plainly visible for 5000 fcot along tho shord line of tho bay, la known to extend Inland 4500 feet nnd varies from 30 to 200 root in height. Tho elements havo mined thousands upon thousands of tons or tho oro. Assays or picked samples glvo rrom 10 to 10 per cent in copper and $23 in gold and silver. This remarkable mlno is owned by W. I. Warner, who first wont to tho Alnsknn peninsula four years ngo on n coal propesition: Ho lo cated the copper claims early Inst spring. Wnrnor arrived on tho Dorn and Is on his wny outaldo to place the property or make arrangements to work It himself. Of Interest To Woinn.
