Twenty-four masked men went to the jail, overpowered the Sheriff | and jailer and made short work of the prisoner. Four negroes were charged with the crime against Mrs. Smith, one of the most flendish ever committed in the State. Two of the accused have been legally executed. The third, Will Johnson, was recently convicted and sentenced to death, but last week Governor Jenks, believing there was strong douly of the prisoner’s guilt, com- muted the negro’s sentence to life impuis- | onment. Richardson, the man lynched this morn- ing, had not been indicted, but was In jail awaiting the action of the Grand Jury. ———————— .

Figures Show the Gain in the Mineral Output to Be $531,000,000 in One Year. The oil producers of California, by their committee on elections, have sent out postal card ballots that will be re- turned with the choice of the ofl-well owners, in all sections of the State, for the first board of directors for the pro- ducers’ organization. Therefore it is believed that the next ten days will begin to develop one of the most in- teresting chapters in the history of mineral industry in California. The Initiative is taken by the petro- leum producers of California to make the Standard Oll pay & reasonable price for the California petroleum at the wells, or at the tanks, the alternative being non-delivery, and a situation is liable to be created that will attract the attention, not only of all Califor- nians, but of the people of the East. ‘What will happen not even the most sanguine producer cares to predict. The facts are unique from every point of | view. One of the speakers at the re- cent meeting of the petroleum pro- ducers of the State in this city made the statement that there were 36,000,- 000 barrels of oil produced in Califor-4 nia last year. A few years ago there was “dollar oil” In this State, that be- ing the price paid for the product be- fore the greatness of the Kern County districts was discovered. Since then the price has been depressed to one- sixth of one dollar a barrel, and less, The Kern River field was so prolific in oil at the outset of its development, and so many companies of small capi- tal were engaged in selling oil, that competition speedily began to force the price down and the trend has been downward ever since. Now the oll producers present, as a reasor for the necessity of co-operation, that they are pumping the oil from the ground without profit; that, there being only a certain quantity of ofl to be pumped, they are using up their capital in business without hope of bettering their | condition if they do not make an at- tempt to do something unitedly; that the only way to reach a result is to first pro- ceed to have themselves continually in- formed of market conditions and then to place their product so that it can be handled as a whole, and to deny-ofl to the Standard Oil and other large corpora- tions that have secured 92 per cent of the market, unless they meet the terms of the producers. The uncertainties of the present situa- tion are indicated by the statement of one of the leading producers that the | price of oil varies from hour to hour, ac- cording to the terms that the large cor- porations make, this being in no way de- pendent upon the demand or supply of oil in tanks. Since the meeting of the producers the Standard Oil and the As- sociated Oil Company have refrained from making any statements. That is in ac- cordance with their usual custom, Producers express fear that the big cor- porations will try to persuade the larger companies not to join a combination of producers. If the producers all combine there is a prospect of a conflict that will long be remembered. -Directors for-the 0il Producers’ Association will prob- ably be elected before the end of a fortnight. Then the real work will ber gin. Since the Mills building gathering of producers many oil companies are re- ported to have pledged to give the movement for the protection of the oil industry their financial support. The oil miners represent an industry that extends over several counties. At former prices the oil output would ex- ceed in value the annual production of gold in California. The names of the men who have been nating committee for directors of the | Producers’ Association are carefully kept from publicity in this eity, but they will be known as soon as the postal card ballots are generally circu- lated. OPERATIONS OF MINERS. Robert 8. Towne of New York is re- ported to have bought the Blue Ledge copper claims on Elliott Creek, Siski- you County, for $175,000. The Siskiyou Coumty Chamber of Commerce will keep a register of all the mines in the county for reference. A giant has been set to work on hy- draulic mining at Watson Guleh, Shasta County, the only glant in the county in operation. The Sonora Union Democrat reports regarding the decision in the litigation about the Telegraph Line mine: The lbng litigation over the Telegraph Line mine, located three or four miles north of Groveland, was ended in the Supreme Court jast Saturday when the judgment of the Jower court was sustained, thereby vesting title to the property In Sylvester Carlon and George E.

Sim’s sult attacks property valued at sev- eral million dollars as it includes twenty min- ing claims and a number of fractions in the heart of the camp, including the April Fool, upon which the first big discoveries were made. According to the allegations of Sim he was approaclied by Edward Saylor a year ago in regard to a prospecting trip that Saylor and the Humphreys were about to begin.

Sim says-that he agreed to do this and accordingly had numerous assays made, cover- ing a period of many months, Including rock from claims located at Manbattan. The original reports of the assayer, he says, were forwarded to Saylor. Sim says that last October he made a demand upon Saylor and the Humpbreys for his interest in the va- rious properties at Manhattan. but that he met With a pointed refusal to divide from those whom he had grubstaked. PRODUCTION OF MINERALS. The mining world has made an estimate of the mineral production of the United States for the year 1905. As official re- tuins have not been collected in all min- en cempelled to take the figures from unof- ficial sources. These are indicative of the general advancement of the mineral in- dustry of this country. The total output of the mining, metallurgical and kindred industries of the United States is placed at $1788,017,83, or an Increase for ome vear of $531,909,337, or 42.4 per cent. The output of copper in 1905 is valued at $146,- 138,269, the gold at 356,208,200, silver $35,- 576,939, lead $30,691,000, zinc 324,078,484, quick- silver $1,142,660, pig iron $377,623,054, bitu- minous coal $359,753,507, anthracite coal §176,748,441, iron ore $72,596,437. Concerning the general features attend- ing the mining for metals that are largely produced on the Pacific Coast the Mining World publishes the follow- ing: Copper has made a record production in 1905, amounting to 417,024 long tons, valued at §146,158,260. which compares with 362,739 tons, $106,620.846, in 1904, showing an in- crease of 54,255 tons or $40,528,421. The three largest producing States were. Michigan, Mon- tana and Arizona, although there has also been a substantial increase in Utah and a few other States. Exports of copper as fine metal und that contained in ore and matte approximated 239,860 long tons in 1905, which is eomewhat less than in 1804, on account of the greater domestic demand. The largest foreign buyers were Germany. China. France and Great Britain in the order named. Im- ports of copper, principally from Canada, Mex- ico and Great Britain, in 1905, were avproxi- mately 76,717 long tons, showing a marked increase over the two previous years. Market prices of copper in 1905 were the hixhest in many years. Gold oroduction showed such a rapid ad- vance fn 1905 that the United States now oc- cupies the second place among all countries mining the precious metal. In 1805 this country valued its gold gutput at $56,208,200, which compares with $80,835,648 in 1904, show- ing an increase of $5,462,552. Colorado, Cali- fornia and Alaska were the principal sonrces of supply, although South Dakota, Montana. Arizona, ada and Utah also 'contributed appreciable amounts, while other States added to the total in a comparatively smaller de- gree. The foreign trade in gold was much lees than in 1604. Silver, contrary to the early expectation based on the smaller demand from the leading consumer—India—showed a larger production. In 1805 the output, chiefly as a by-product in the treatment of ores containing copper and lead, amounted to 58,038,355 fine ounces, val- ul New York at $35,576.950. as azainst 55,000,964 ounces, valued at $32,037,378, in 1904 The increase in 1905 was equivalent to 2,938,401 ounces, or $3.541,581. Credit for the largest contributions to the country's silver output ehould be given to Montana, Colorado and Utah. The dividends paid by mining compa- nies on the business of 1905 make a formidable showing as regards the gold, silver and lead mines: In the United States alone during 1905 there were sixty-elght properties capitalized at $363.- 965,430, which paid dividends of $25,001.6¢ and since their Incorporation. have declared total of $134,787,033, equivalent to nearly 37 per cent on the share capital. Twenty-four Compenies in Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, having an aggregate capital- ization of $10,784,225, paid dividends in 1905 of $5,364,430. making the total since incor- poration $34,534,423, or nearly 85 per cent. At first thought this large return may make the dividends paid by mines and works in the TUnited States look rather small, but after due consideration it will be learned that incorpora- tions in this country are usually on a more extravagant capitalization than elsewhere. Consequently the yield per cent in dividends on the shares of many successful mining com- Danies In the United States s comparatively lower than elsewhere. Taken together the dividends paid by ninety- two gold bearing properties un the American continent, representing a capitalization of $406,740,605, amounted in 1005 to $30,458,045, or about 71 per cent, making the total since rcorporation $160,321.486, or 41.6 per cent. This 18 @ Kood return on the capital invested, and explains why the British and other for- Slgners have put so much money in American TAfnes in recent years. —_————— TURNS HIGHWAYMAN AFTER LOSING MONEY AT POKER T WICHITA, Kan, Feb. 11.—Charles Buchanan, aged 20, brought some wheat lost the proceeds in playing poker with John Creamer yesterday afternoon.

IRELAND'S HOPE DALY CROWING Thomas 0’Concannon Tells St. Patrick’s Day Commit- tee of Erin’s Rapid Strides —_— SPEAKS IN THE GAELIC Addresses Convention of Irish Clubs in Ancient Tongue and in English -— Thomas O'Concannon, advance messenr ger of ‘Dr. Douglas Hyde, the celebrated Irishman who is scheduled to arrive to- night, vesterday afternoon addressed the St. Patrick’'s day committee of Irish or- | ganizations at Knights of the Red Branch Hall. The visitor was given a rousing reception and replied to the greeting in a long Gaelic speech, followed by another in English. Mr. O'Concannon began by explaining the objects of the Ggelic League in both Ireland and America and told of the teaching of Irish youth the language of their fathers.
