HAS THE LARGEST CIRCULATION ALASKA'S TWENTY MILLION Territory's Output of Precious Metals Increased in 1909 Over a Million Dollars In 1880 gold was produced in Alaska to the value of $20,000. In 1909 the amount mined was valued at more than $20,000,000. In 1888 silver was first produced in Alaska, to the value of $2181; in 1909 the value was $76,934. In 1902 copper was first produced, to the value of $41,400; in 1909 its value reached $536,211. These and other statistics of production are shown by Alfred H. Brooks, of the United States Geological Survey, in "Gold, Silver, Copper, Lead and Zinc in the Western States and Territories," published as a separate chapter of the volume "Mineral Resources of the United States in 1909." "Placer and lode mining of gold in Alaska in 1909," says GeologistBrooks, "showed marked progress over that in 1908, both in the amount of actual gold production and in the advances made in preparation for more extensive operations." "The copper output was less than in 1908, chiefly because the low price GROWTH OF STATE Cause of Increased Appropriations by Administration Asked for a statement concerning the published announcement that the general appropriation bill passed by the last legislature was the largest in the history of the state, and also that its increase was large, Governor Johnson says: "The general appropriation bill of necessity shows an increase over the bill of two years ago. It is due to the increased number of patients in the state hospitals, the increased numbers in the prisons, and the increase of pupils in the schools. The proportion of increase this year over the bill of two years ago is less than the proportion of increase for any other two years in the history of the state. "The needs of the state have to be met by the general appropriation bill, and these needs require the expenditure of just so much money, and this expense cannot be curtailed. Extravagance is indicated by special appropriations. Notwithstanding the rapid progress and astonishing growth of the state, the special appropriation bills passed show that the increase has been less for this season than ever before." HEADED OFF MR. MORGAN Plutocrat Loses in Race for Alaskan Copper Fields The Morgan-Guggenheim Syndicate lost a rich prize last week, when Benjamin Daggett of San Francisco put up $500,000 as an option on the Alaskan Calumet copper company's property in Alaska, which the Guggenheims had been trying to get. This copper property is located only twenty miles from the famous Bonanza mines owned by the Morgan-Guggenheim Syndicate and tapped by the recently finished Copper River and Northwestern road.

This copper property is located only twenty miles from the famous Bonanza mines owned by the Morgan-Guggenheim Syndicate and tapped by the recently finished Copper River and Northwestern road. Daggett is reported to have been acting for the Pearson Syndicate of New York and London, which it was recently learned intended to invade Alaska. The fight for the control of Alaska's wealth is now three cornered, the United States Milling, Refining and Smelting Company also having recently signified its intention of entering Alaska to fight the Guggenheims for control of its unlimited wealth. ITS TROUBLES BEGINNING Mexico Will Have Heavy Bill of Damages to Pay Mexico's immediate industrial outlook is not cheerful. Although the war is said to be over its results are not done with by any means. The insurrection habit grows by what it feeds on. In the absence of some commanding and overwhelming personality like that of Diaz the republic may be plunged in a series of revolutions like those which have disturbed Central America for a long period. It is clear, for one thing, that the rebellion and its results have given industrial enterprises in Mexico a setback from which they will not recover in years. No new capital will take the chances of investment under such conditions, and those foreigners who already have their fortunes locked up in mines, railroads or other ventures, will be put to the necessity of maintaining armed forces to protect themselves and their interests. With a weak central government in nominal control and the means of communication and transportation limited, it will be every man for himself. The war—to call it by that name—was by itself comparatively insignificant. The forces engaged were all small and the number killed was not more than 1000, all told. But it is the moral effect of the rebellion that is so serious. If a few thousand men under arms can upset a government supposed to be strong and well organized, the results so easily accomplished are an invitation to other restless spirits to make a venture of the same sort. The government of Diaz has proved to be a hollow shell. It was founded in despotism and graft, and could only have been perpetuated by ruthless military force. When the test came it was found that the federal army was worthless. It could not make head against the insurgent forces although these lacked either discipline "A few miles to the corner of the state Hannegan, "is located mountain in Virginia, with an elevation of 5220 feet, the next high Top is a popular resort from hay fever, many on its summit each su relief.

The three mines of the Treadwell group produced 1,385,891 tons of siliceous ore, yielding in gold and silver $2.56 a ton. Eight dredges were operated in Alaska in 1909, with an estimated production of $450,000. The Alaska Yukon placer district had in 1909 the most profitable season since mining first began there, a quarter of a century ago. According to the Geological Survey's returns the value of the gold output was $11,580,000, as compared with $10,323,000 in 1908. The production in Seward Peninsula fell off, owing to the facts that many of the richest placers have been mined out and that no preparations have been made for mining the extensive deposits of low-grade gravels. With the construction of large plants an increase may be looked for. The great possibilities of the Alaska gold-bearing gravels can be recognized when a comparison is made of the recovery from the placer workings of the Territory and those of the United States. In 1909 the average recovery for Alaska was $3.66 a cubic yard, while for the United States the recovery was only 12 cents. SETS GOOD EXAMPLE A few weeks ago The Orange Post copied an article from the Anaheim Gazette calling attention to the requirements of the Postoffice Department in reference to delinquent subscribers. One of our eastern readers, who was in arrears only six months, immediately forwarded his subscription with the following letter: Editor Post:—I was very much amused by the copy in the Post of the delicate reminder to the remiss subscriber in the matter of not sending in his subscription. An examination of the wrapper revealed the fact that I am one of that class; so I take great pleasure in mailing you check for $1.50 in payment of my long overdue account. Yours very truly, Orange Post. "When the rates on raw wool are cut more than one-half it is absolutely at a competitive rate, levied solely for the purpose of revenue without any of the essentials of a protective tariff." WHO OWNS THE BEET TOPS A decision of interest to sugar-beet growers was rendered in the District Court of Appeals at Sacramento the other day in an opinion written by Justice Burnett. The opinion reverses the judgment and order denying a new trial by the Superior Court of Monterey county in the case of Hiram Corey versus James P. Struve and August Struve in which the defendants secured judgment and the plaintiff took an appeal. The action was over whether or not the tops of sugar beets raised on the lands of the plaintiff leased by the defendants, belonged to the plaintiff or the lessors. The lower court decided the tops belong to the lessor, but the Appellate Court reversed the decision on the ground that the custom in Monterey county dictated otherwise. Messages to Senor Madero friends in the new call feect accord with Presidio and optimism for a suistration. Senor Madero regards governors as essential tion of complete trie fighting reported today south of Puebla, he de cal disaffection. Senor Madero has re that he could not leave City until the provisions were installed in the city where there is doubt whether the government is able to maintain law and order. Not the least alarming feature of the situation is the widespread condition of brigandage that sprang up so quickly as a result of the rebellion. It seems as if all bars were down at once, and the man with a rifle was invited to help himself. It is perhaps a not unnatural result of a so-called popular government actually maintained by ruthless military force.

This map is on the scale of approximately 2 miles to the inch and shows an area of a little over 1000 square miles, embracing portions of southwestern Virginia, northeastern Tennessee and northwestern North Carolina, the three states cornering in the southern part of the quadrangle. The line between Virginia and Tennessee, as shown on the map, was the subject of much controversy for many years. Recently, however, it was resurveyed, and it can now be easily followed by the monuments which have been placed at prominent places and by the cutting of the timber along the line. The line between Virginia and North Carolina, according to Mr. Hannegan, is of ancient date and is very difficult to follow; many of the inhabitants living close to the boundary are in doubt whether they should pay their taxes in one state or the other, as there are no monuments, and marked trees are very scarce. "A few miles to the northeast of the corner of the states," said Mr. Hannegan, "is located the highest mountain in Virginia, Mount Rogers, with an elevation of 5719 feet; just to its west is White Top Mountain, 5220 feet, the next highest. White Top is a popular resort for sufferers from hay fever, many of whom camp on its summit each summer, seeking relief. In the big mountains in the southern half of the quadrangle we found large areas of fine virgin timber—pine, poplar, oak, chestnut, and hemlock. The Virginia-Carolina railway penetrates this section and hauls members of the ways and means committee and to the democratic representatives in congress who will support the bill. The ways and means committee have cut in half the whole wool schedule. They have reduced the duty on manufactured goods as low as they were under the Wilson bill that Mr. Bryan voted for when raw wool was placed on the free list. In that reduction they have fallen short of $40,000,000 now raised by the wool, by $13,000,000, and it is necessary in order to secure this revenue to place a revenue tax on raw wool imported into the United States. "Under the high rates of the Payne tariff bill the tax on raw wool was highly competitive, nearly one-half of the wool used in this country being imported. Mr. Underwood said that in the tariff bill the ways and means committee has gone even further than a gradual reduction in the tariff to which the democratic party in its last platform was committed. He says: "If the Wilson bill which Mr. Bryan voted for was an honest reduction of the tariff in the interest of the people, a bill that reduces the taxes on woolen goods which the people buy as low as under the bill Bryan voted for and advocated, certainly cannot be a protective measure from this standpoint. "The fact that in reducing these taxes on woolen goods we have levied small taxes on the manufacturers does not in any way increase the burden to the purchasers of woolen goods." The Democratic leader explained that the Democratic party and the people are confronted by a deficiency in the treasury; that the government needs more money and that the inconvenient tax amendment is as yet unratified. He said the committee in reducing the tariff has to write the schedules so that they would bring at least as much revenue as does the present law. "The democratic party," Mr. Underwood concluded, "stands essentially for a tariff for revenue, which means..." "A few miles to the northeast of the corner of the states," said Mr. Hannegan, "is located the highest mountain in Virginia, Mount Rogers, with an elevation of 5719 feet; just to its west is White Top Mountain, 5220 feet, the next highest. White Top is a popular resort for sufferers from hay fever, many of whom camp on its summit each summer, seeking relief. In the big mountains in the southern half of the quadrangle we found large areas of fine virgin timber—pine, poplar, oak, chestnut, and hemlock. The Virginia-Carolina railway penetrates this section and hauls out the product of numerous large sawmills along its lines. The residents of a large portion of this country, I believe, hope to be included in the Appalachian National Forest. The mountains in the north half of the quadrangle have been stripped of their timber to a considerable extent, especially on the north slopes, which are now used for grazing purposes, producing fine and abundant blue grass. "Large numbers of high-grade cattle are owned throughout this section of Virginia, mostly Herefords, Jerseys and Holsteins. Sheep, hogs, horses and mules of a high standard are plentiful. "The valley formations are mostly of limestone and the soil produces an abundant harvest of wheat and corn, which are the big crops; hay, oats, rye, buckwheat and tobacco also return good yields. The region is unexcelled as an apple raising country, the crop rarely being a failure. "The Norfolk & Western Railway traverses this country and is the main carrier of its produce. The largest valleys of the quadrangle are all traversed by the three forks of Holston river, which unites with the French Broad to form the Tennessee." NEW GOVERNORS FOR MEXICO Madero Insists on Election That Will Shake Up Government of Nation JUAREZ, May 30.—Before another month passes, it is predicted, there will be changes in the personnel of the governors of every one of the twenty-seven states in Mexico. This was the declaration of Francisco I. Madero, Jr., to an Associated Press representative tonight. He said the installation everywhere of provisional governors soon will be followed by state elections. Messages to Senor Madero from his friends in the new cabinet report perfect accord with President de la Barra and optimism for a successful administration. Senor Madero regards the change of governors as essential to the restoration of complete tranquility. The fighting reported today at Cholula south of Puebla, he attributed to local disaffection. Senor Madero has repeatedly stated that he could not leave for Mexico City until the provisional governors were installed in the northern states of Coahulla, Sonora, Chihuahua and Sinaloa. The best time to change the baby's flannels is in May. Risks are too great before that time, as the weather is too uncertain. Some authorities contend that he should wear a flannel all summer, while others equally excel lent maintain that in hot weather babe is best dressed when he has as little on as common decency permits. The whole question, however, depends entirely upon the constitution of the child in question. Some children really require three changes of flannel a year—a medium weight for spring and autumn. The best place for baby to take his nap is on a well-covered porch or in a room where the windows are open. Even before "fly season" cover his couch with a spread of fly/netting, so arranged that it will not fan against his face. This serves to break the breezes and keep specks and insects off him. See that he is well-covered and his head protected by a soft cap while the weather is still chilly. To have baby grow straight, be comfortable, and also to have him rest well, is to let him sleep on a low pillow, either of down or soft curled hair. His head should be only slightly elevated. BRYAN'S VIEWS ON WOOL Appeals to Leaders in Congress Not to Add "Hypocrisy" to Tariff "Sins" WASHINGTON, May 30.—Mr. Bryan's defiance today of the party leaders in the house, his warning to the Democratic members that the voters are yet to pass on the wool schedules they are to ratify and his appeal to them not to add "hypocrisy" to the "sin" of voting for a revenue on wool, have caused intense feeling in the party. Notwithstanding this, Mr. Underwood, as chairman of the house committee on ways and means, tonight was insistent in the prediction that the revenue wool bill will be approved by a big majority. "In my judgment," Mr. Underwood said in answer to Mr. Bryan, "his statement is unjust and unfair to the MONEY FOR LOAN C. E.

Senor Madero has repeatedly stated that he could not leave for Mexico City until the provisional governors were installed in the northern states of Coahulla, Sonora, Chihuahua and Sinaloa. In the first of these Senor Carranza already has been installed, and news was received today that the Sonora legislature soon would name Jose Maytorena as governor and Eugenio Cayou as vice governor, probably tomorrow. From Chihuahua and Sinaloa encouraging reports have been received as to the efforts of the state legislatures to hold elections. Senor Madero said tonight he felt satisfied with the situation and surely would leave here Friday for the national capital. FRESNO GIRL'S ROMANCE Son of General Figueroa Will Not be Permitted to Wed Miss Helen Griffith SAN FRANCISCO, May 30.— After all there is no engagement between Hector Figueroa, son of the wealthy General Fernando Figueroa of Salvador, and Helen Griffith, belle of Fresno, heirress of S. W. Griffith, capitalist and railroad builder, friends of the couple say. Details of the shattering of this international romance are withheld, but it is said that Griffith and his pretty daughter have frowned on the courtship of the young and handsome Salvadoran to such an extent that he will not return to this country to press his suit. While in this state as a student of the University of California young Figueroa fell in love with the pretty Fresno girl. Her parents, though not averse to the company of the young man, refused to countenance an engagement. Then young Figueroa decided to go home and consult with his father about the affair of the heart.
