WASHINGTON, April 22. According to
returns representing between SO nml 60 per
cent of thu total tonnage, the production of
coal In tho United States In 186'J Is eitimn'eJ
by Edward W. Parker, statistician of tho
United States Ecological survey, to have
amounted to 230,838,973 long tons, equivalent
to 2:18,630,050 short tonB. As compared with
tho production of 1808, when the product
amounted to IDC, 105,053 long tons, or 219,
1)71,007 short tons, this Indicates an Incicaso
of over 31,000,000 short tons, or 17.5 per cent.
Theso figures exceed by 15,000,000 short tonB
thu outsldo estimates heretofore made on
tho coal tonnago for 1899.
Tho production of 220,000,000 short tons
In 1898 was nearly 20,000,000 In excess of that
In 1897i and both of theso years were ban
ner years In tho Industry. It Is not Impos
sible that tho figures for 189D, as estimated,
may bu somewhat rcdticcl by later and moro
coinploto returns, and In fact this may Lc
predicted as probable; but even a reduction
of 5,000,000 tons would not amount to 2 per
cent of error In tho total.
Tho total value of this enormous produc
tion Is estimated at $259,135,412, an In
crease of over $51,000,000, or practically 20
per cent over tho value of tho product In
1898. Tho part that nnthraclto coal played
In this unprecedented production was an
Incrcaso from 47.CC3.075 long tons, or 53,382,
011 short tons In 1898, to 53,857,(90 long tons,
or 60,430,305 short tons, In 1899, with an In
crcaso In valuo from $75,111,637 to $88,123,
493, a gain of nearly $13,000,000. Ilttuniln
ous, canned, block nnd lignite coals show an
Increase of over 31.GC0.000 short tons, and
n gain of nearly $39,000,000 In value. There
v.ero only three states that did not partici
pate lu the general Incrcaso. They were
Arkansas, Georgia nnd Idaho. In the former
tho production was cut down by strikes,
which kept somo of tho largest mines Idle
n good part of tho year. The reduction In
Georgia was very small nnd tho entire prod
uct of Idaho has no effect on tho total. An
other Interesting nnd unusual feature of coal
production In 1899 wn3 tho fact that there
was an advance In price, tho llrst Instance
of this kind in three years.

und of manufactured Iron and steel that It
In well worth while to noto what effect the

will havo upon the totnl mineral production
for 1899. Tho production of pig Iron In 1899
was 13,700,000 long tons, against 11,773,931
long tons In 1898. Tho average prlco for

ing tho total value about $240,000,000, against
$110,657,000 In 1898, when tho avcrago prico
was Ions than $10 per ton. This makes an
Increase of $130,000,000 and the Increase of
$51,000,000 In the valuo of tho coal proluct
makes n total Incrcaso of $181,000,000, which

DRADWOOD, S. D., April 22. (Special.)
Warm weather has como to all parts of
tho Illack Hills and thcro Is a general re
Tlval of business among tho mines in nil
of, tho districts. Tho placer minors havo
commenced work on a number of creeks
and thcro Is reason to expect that tho sea
son will bo good for this kind of mining.
Hill City, Pactnla, Silver City and Mystic,
In tho Centrnl Hills, aro busy with llfo this
spring. Tho old Kldorndo mine, located
thrco miles cast of Hill City, has been pur
chased by two Now York City parties and
a very completo steam hoisting plant, with
nlr drills, has been Installed. A doublo
compartment shaft Is being sunk to a
depth of 600 feet. Tho company has pur
chased the old J. It. ten-stamp mill near
tho mine, which Is being repaired to run
on oro from tho mlno. Tho owners of tho
Golden Slipper mlno, In this samo district,
aro keeping tho lower workings pumped
of water nnd It Is expected that tho mine
will bo sold to eastern parties soon.
Good llaylug mines aro strung all along
tho road from Hill City, through Sheri
dan to I'actola. At this latter camp there
nro a number of properties that will bs
opened up this season. Tho Poisoned Ox
and Copper aianco mines aro two of tho
best propositions. Minneapolis parties havo
both of them under bond. Thcro is a min
eralized ledgo of oro nbout 400 feet In
width, which runs north nnd south through
tho properties, and good assays of gold,
copper nnd silver havo been obtained from
n number of openings. James nnd Archlo
McCurdy, who reslda near theso mines,
own 110 acres of farm land on Itnpld river,
under which thero Is a very rich streak of
placer gravel. Tho pay xtreak is nbout
six Inches thick nnd it pans from 3 to 10
cents per pan. Tho owners nverago $8 per
clay working with tho pan. At one place,
near tho crock, flvo distinct veins of oro
havo been uncovered at bedrock level, car
rying Bllvor, gold nnd copper, which can
bo traced northward 700 feet Into tho Poi
soned Ox nnd Copper Glance mines. Tho
railroad that is being built from Rapid
City to Mystic crosses tho farm of theso
brothers.
J, C. Sherman owns a placer bed 0,000
feet long, nUaut COO feet wide nnd thirty
feet thick, down tho creek from Tactola,
which will nverago 60 cents gold to tho
cubic, yard. Ho Is nbout to stnrt up n
largo steam plant, which will elevate the
firavel from bedrock to slulco boxes. This
plant will earn for Its owner $400 per day.
From Pnctola west to Sliver City there
are sovoral belts of oio which carry gold,
silver and copper values. Silver City Is
ono of tho oldeat mining camps in the Cen
tral Hills. It Is on Itapld river nnd tho
now railroad will mako of It ono of the
stations. North of the town nbout a mile
Etevu Ureyer has opened up a very wide,
ledge of gold and silver ore. Am is on s..nio
places of the vein have gone an high as JJ00
to the ton In the two metals. A number
of Itnpld City people have opened tho somo
lodge nwrer Sliver City. The Highland mlno
it located north of tho Ilreyer property.
Thero Is a ten stamp mill on the creek,
which has worked quite successfully on
portions of tho ore. This property la now
hondol to William Hall of Colorado Springs,
and a mining expert from Colorado examined
tho property this week. It Is not a free mill
ing proposition, but tho ore will concen
trate. Mystic, a station on the Burlington route,
Is a lively plnco this spring on account of
tho starting up of tho largo ore-treating
plant that has Just been completed by In
diana parties. Prof. P. H. Long of Chi
cago has sold to a largo eastern syndlcato
certain secret proceues for tho e.xtrnctlon
of gold nnd sliver values from refractory
ores. A fifty-ton plant has been erected
on Castle creek and the first shipments of
oro havo been received. Two carloads of
oro arrived tho flrst of the weak from tho
Ilald mountain district, in the Northern
hills. Contracts for oro nro being ennde
with n number of tho owners of mines in tho
Silver City nnd Hornbtend districts. It Is
tho Intention of this company to enlarge tho
plnnt to 100 tons dally capacity this season
nnd other devices for extracting the previous
metals will bo put Into practl:c. Event
ually tho company will have a plant that will
treat Bcveral hundreds tons of ore per day.
Tho Omaha .Mining company, which was
organized a few days ago, Is about to coni
menco work. This company hns purchased
all of tho rights of the Dr. Ogdcn process
for extracting gold from ores. An experi
mental plant has been In use for somo time
down near Wbltcwood croak, seven miles
from this city. This plant Is to be moved
to Deadwood nnd enlarged In capacity, and
It Is proposed to tnke In custom ores.
Tho Original Ilnrdln enlno still continues
to ship oro to the Deadwood smelter. Yes
terday was pay day, when something like
$0,000 was paid to tho miners nnd ore haul
ers, Tho wagon roads are In very bad con
dition, which makes It slow work hauling
ere. This district will undoubtedly havo
n railroad this season from Deadwood.
Quito a number of mining properties havo
changed hnnds this month. One of tho most
Importnnt deals Is tho selling of tne otu
Hsmoreldn mlno nnd mill In Hlncktall gulch.
This property was ono of tho first to produce
oro in tho Illnck Hills. It was sold to tho
Shawnut Gold Mining company of Uoston.fori
$50,000. This company hns for Its president
Kdlson E. Dewey, n cousin of tho ad
miral. Ho and tho vlco president,
W. P. Parmer, nnd tho treasurer, 11. L.
Heath, all of Iloston, aro In Deadwood at
present looking aftor their new purchases.
Theso gentlemen aro astonished at tho
aaiount of development work that has al
ready been dono around Deadwood and Lead.
They nro still moro Impressed with tho great
number of mines that are Idle Just for tho
lack of capital. They speak of tho millions
of dollars lying idle In tho east, Which would
gladly find Investment In the Hills If the
matter could only bo presented to tlio
proper persons. Tho Shawmut Mining com
pany will enlarge tho Esmerelda mill by
putting In another thirty-ton Huntington
nmnlgamator.
HOT SPRINGS, S. D.. April 22. (Special.)
A report from Keystone says that n rich
strlko has been mado at tho Detroit mine,
near that place, In which n twcnty-four-lnch
vein was uncovored for nbout twenty feet.
Tho vein Is nenr tho surfneo and n mining
export who cxnmlncd It pronounces It even
richer thnn tho Chllcoot, which adjoins It.
nnd which Is regnrded as one of tho richest

A new mining company has been organized
nt Custer with n capital of $500,000, known
as tho Iron Mountain Gold Mining company.
The directors are J. U. Logan of Cincinnati,
V. W. Hlnton of Covington, Ky., nnd

WASHINGTON, April 22.-"Tho creJ.lt of
rural frco delivery belongs almost exclu
sively to the McKlnlcy ndmlnlstratlon,"
said Hon. Perry S. Heath, first assistant
postmaster general, tonight. "A movement
to broaden tho frco delivery of the malls

tho plan of delivering malls by carriers, ln explanation of notices received by tho , ward nnd qulto n number of crosswalks
ns existing in cities of 10,000 population or
iu.uuu grcsB postal receipts, to forty nr
fifty selected villages of less population
nnd smaller postal receipts. The experi
ment was a success as far as it went, but
tho succeeding democratic administration,
fearing Its effect In popularizing repub
lican principles nnd disseminating repub
lican literature, ordered it dropped.
"It was n republican administration that
conceived nnd executed tho Idea of btlght
tnlng tho home of tho farmer, educating
his children, Increasing tho valuo of his
land, compelling tho Improvement of his
roads and giving him ready nccess to n
market for his crops bjc carrying tho United
States malls to htm on his fnrm.
"Since the 1th day of March, 1897, nearly
100,000 rural homes In nil parts of tho
United Stntes have been brought Into close
touch with tho rest-of tho world by a dally
visit of the rural postman.
"The initiation of tomo form of free de
livery which would reach tho heretoforo
Isolated rural communities wns forced upon
the last ndmlnlstratlon lu Its closing year
by congress, responsive to tho wishes of
tho people. Forty-four rural experiments
were reluctantly started, some of them In
communities which neither nsked nor np
preclated the service. It was dlfllcult to
find such localities, but some wero found,
and tho service wns started there, appar
ently with 'the purposo of bringing rural
frco delivery. Into disrepute and demon
strating Its Impracticability.
"It Is posslblo this result might havo
been achieved In time, but under tho vivi
fying Inllucnco of n republican ipostnl policy
rural frco delivery nt onco sprung Into
vigorous life. The appropriations wero In
creased by congress from $50,000 tho flrst
year to $150,000 the second year nnd $450,000
tho third year. On the 2d of April, 1000,
closo upon 1,000 rural routes had been es
tablished, somo of them serving as many
as 1,200 or 1,500 people dally, tho overage
being 760 persons to n route. Not ono stnto
which has asked for the servlco has been
left unrepresented. Tho good work Is still
going on. Nothing short of a revolution
can now check it.
"Three years' experience has shown that
tho rural frco delivery service Is not In
ordinately expensive. It costs very llttlo
moro than tho old colonial stylo of postal
service, which It supersedes, and It Invnr
lably brings n large and compensating In
crcaso ln tho nmount of tho mall matter
handled and consequently In tho amount
of postal receipts turned Into tho treasury.
Hut oven If It docs cost more thnn tho
obsolete old plan nro not tho fnrmers en
titled to somo of tho benefits of tho govern
ment which they help so liberally to sup

"Tho country enn well afford to continue

citizens, happier homes nnd contributes

LONDON, April 22. (Now York World Cn
blcgram Special Telcgrnm.) Current re
quirements of the money market havo been
upon a considerable scale, both lending and
discounting rates clng firmly maintained.
Tho Hank of England has shown no dispo
sition to relax Its control of tho outsldo mar
ket given it b'y tho substantial edition to
government funds, causing Joint stock banks
to ask from 4 to 4U for tho best thrco
months' paper, whllo for dny to day loan3
5 per cent is paid.
Tho Rank of Englnnd's grip of business
will tend to relcvo tho stringency of "iho out
sldo market and toward Juno the 'supply of
cash ln tho market should appreciably In
crcaso from this cause, ns well ns tho return
of cash from tho country.
Thero wns n further advance In Amcrlcnn
exchange to $1.07 for sight drafts, with n
prospect of still higher money. Conditions ln
New York mako gold Imports probable.
French exchange declined to 25. 18V6.
French banks nro ln a position to tako a
considerable amount of money from London,
but ns tho discount rate In Paris Is only
314, whero elsowhero It Is 4, thero Is no In
ducement to withdraw money from this sldo.
Tho stock mnrkcts have been dull, owing
to tho nbsenco of news from South Africa,
but consols nro well maintained, considering
tho firmness of discount rates. Homo rail
roads havo shown weakness. Americans
havo been left entirely to tho professionals,
who havo allowed prices, with a couplo of ex
ceptions, to fall nway.
Thero Is practically no business ln mining
shares nnd no Immediate prospect of a re
vival In that direction.

HEftiLlN. April 22,-Tho most striking
feature of tho week on tho bourso wns tho
excitement cnuscd by tho Incidents In tho
Americnn iron market, nrlco reductions
thero producing a renewed fenr of Ameri
can competition hero In iron nnd steel and
consequently reduced earnings for tho com
panies. Owing to this fear the bull move
ment In lndustriaf shares, which, before
Easter was generally predicted for this
week, failed to realize. On the contrary tho
week was marked by heavy realization
sales, causing n general decllno In quota
tions. Tho week's fall for fnvnrltn Iron
shares waB from 6 to 7 per cent. Tho finan
cial press devotes considerable spncu to
tho American Iron situation nnd Its benr
Ing on tho German market. Tho view pre
vails that danger is not Immediate. High
authorities here Interpret tho week's Inci
dents In tho United Stntes markets ns n
stock exchange maneuver not wurranted
by business conditions. Reports from tho
German Iron centers Indlcnto a slowing up
In now business, the high prices causing
consumers to hesltuto to pluco orders. An
other unfavorable factor on tho week's
speculation was the statement of tho
Hclchsbank, which did not show tho ex
pected Improvement. Demands for iww
capltnl for Industrial nnd other enterprises
continue heavy. The Siemens Hulsko com
pany has raised,. Its capital to 51,500,000
marks. Bndcn will placo n loan of 28.000,000

win bo laid. Repairs to sidewalks ln out
lying districts will be mndo and washout
caused by tho recent rnlns will be filled.
Since the resignation of Ross, which was
handed In onq day last week, nil work In
tho street department hns been nt n stnnd
stlll. With tho appointment of n new
street commissioner a force of men will bo
employed nt onco to carry out tho instruc
tions of tho council In regard to street re
pairs, laying crosswalks, etc.
Thero Is nn urgent nco.l for tho reor-
ganlzatlon of tho garbage and sanitary de-
i'. nut-mo aim .nuur iuiiy now uas several
applications for prsltlons ln theso depart
ments under consideration, lleforc making
nny changes tho mayor wnnta to enrry
out his platform promises and with this
iden in view he proposes to havo altera
tions mndo in the existing garbage ordl
nnce. Referring to this matter Inst night
the mayor said! "The removal nnd tho dis
posal of garbago havo elicited much com
plaint In tho past. This may bo, In a
measure, due to the methods ln vogue, nnd
If so the methods should bo changed nt once.
Tho garbage question presents Itself In two
moro or less distinct forms, or nt least
they may be bo treated. Tho city has
nmplo menns with which to deal with one
nspect nnd Is limited ln its means to deal
with tho other. It has the unquestlonnblo
right to rcmovo nnd pay for tho removnl
of garbago from the streets and other pub
lic places. In my opinion It Is under no
legal nnd moral obligation whatever nnd
sued uy siicriit i , - .j
o City Utnh romovnl f garbage from tho privato prem--,,i
n,r' i,nv ,sw of individuals. Unfortunately thcro
exists no lawful authority to assess tho
costs of removal of garbago against tho
premises from which tho samo has been
removed. In the past this method wns em
ployed with partial success, but thnt was
before It was known that such assessments
wero not lawful nnd since thnt tlmo tho
method has boon a failure. Wo aro now
practically without n remedy outsldo of
tho district court In our efforts to compel
property owners or occupants to rcmovo
garbage. In my opinion nny person has
tho right to remove garbage from his own
premises, providing he does It ln n manner
provided by ordinance. No ono has tho
right to endanger tho health nnd lives
of citizens by nllowing garbage to accumu
late in and about his premises. If It bo
comes necessary I favor vigorous crim
inal prosecution, deeming, as I do, tho
health of our city paramount to every
other consideration.
"Tho manner of tho removnl of garbage
both from tho property of tho city nnd from
prlvnto property should bo fixed by ordl
unnco nnd the prlco to bo paid therefor.
As to tho manner of removal, thero Is not
much complaint, but mnny aro mado nbout
tho prlco cbnrged. In tho past tho city
and privato Individuals havo been com
pelled to rely upon tho stntements of tho
gnrbago master ns to tho nmount of garb
age removed. Such a system naturally con
demns Itself nnd further comment Is unnec
essary. It must bo distinctly borne in
mind that whoever removes garbago from
privato premises must look for his pay
from tho owner or occupant of tho' prop
erty nnd cannot, under nny circumstances,
look to the city for compensation.
"To bring nbout tho desired change In
tho method nnd system heretofore used I
recommend that tho ordlnanco creating the'
ofllco of garbago master be so far modified
or repealed ns to placo tho removnl of
garbage, both for tho city and from private
premises, on a competltlvo baBls. Tho
charges in such cases to be fixed by law
and tho removal to bo dono under the su
pervision of the sanitary Inspector."
Holding theso Ideas Mayor Kelly proposes
to have tho sanitary regulations nmended
so as to fit tho existing conditions nnd
It Is possible that no change In this de
partment will bo mado until after tho neces
sary ordinances are passed.
Unci; I'lle for ViiKrnntN.
In a recent communication to tho city
council Mayor Kelly advocates the plan of
establishing n stone yard, whero vagrants
nnd suspicious characters mny bo compelled
to work out a flno or sentence. This mat
ter Is being seriously considered by tho
members of tho council and it Is more than
likely that a stono yard will be established.
It this Is dono the stono will bo used on
roads whero Improvements nro needed nnd
nlso on Railroad avenue through Albright.
All vagrants will, It tho plan goes through,
bo sentenced to a certain number of days
on tho stono pllo Instead of being allowed
to spend tho tlmo of their sentenco ln tbo
city or county Jails.
