Third la Gold Froduction.
Alaska retained third place
Among a<l the states and territories
he 51'C'B in. production of gold, as
shown bv the final estimate issued
•dept.. 'iQth by director U"Acrts, of
Ihe Vuited States mint. The Alas
lii piwbuction. is placed at $6,014,
70Ch.m< against $6.3-15>00in 1002.
•1 tin It was up to that time the ban
'oer year. Director Hoberts, win*
has just returned from nor'.bwest
hsa .Alaska, tliinks the territory's
production this year will he about
she saana-as last, the probable gain i
a Tatiana lieing possibly offset by
•a decrease in the Nome district.
Mr. loberts admits, however, that
*Jie late rains may have tie effect
#f swelling the Nome output. On
•August 14 the season’s output of
the properties operated by the
'tCild Moose Company amounted to
Hf)OiOOO; but just a mouth later
this year had increased to more
•th ou $600000.
Thu official estimate gives the
J0CC production for the state of
H’ashingtoa as $270,900, a* against
>2,72,200.iu. !.‘.M)2, olid the output ot
Oregon $1,200,200, as against 31.
310,700. The output ior the whole
'cMJtjy last year was $73,501,7<H»,
as against $60,000,0(A) in 11)02, the
idJmg oft being due almost entire
ly to labor troubles in Colorado.
The silver output of Alaska last
year was $.7.7,544 (commercial val
ue), oi Washington $150,030, and
ui Oregon $03,720.
\l w .reported by Fairbanks pa
.jerf that the town' council is try
ing to get a mail service inaugura
ted bom Ciaclo to that plsce, fear
ing that the contractors will be un
able to get the mail through over
the Yald*'/ra 1V‘. It would seem
as though the inhabitant* of that
country had had experience enough
in the past in w^ail matters to real
ize the advantage of the Valdez
roite •-#ver the others. If they
stop to consider they will remem
ber that nail iron Valfii has!
gone through without a hitch ior
several years, and went through oil
time last waiter to Fairbanks. As
amen can not be saiA for the Yu
kon nmiiu ior every winter the ser
vice over that line has been verv
unsatisfactory, and the trip irom
Firete aci»ss miniry to Fairbanks
will make it still worse. The Val
dez route is shorter, easier and bet
ter than ar.y other winter route,
and «t*-members of the Fairbanks
coim.il ought to release themselves
from the ties biadiag them to the
Yukon comuzjties and work fm the
kest service for Fairbanks—a week
ly service from Valdez.
At the last meeting of the Cham
ber ef Commerce F. bLinghorn an
nounced his iutentioa of proposing
Al. White, at the next meeting; as
aai accredited representative of
Yalder Fairbanks. Al. is '»
• thorough citizen of Vald^gc with
Wg« interests here, and will do
a ay seavieefor the "town that lies

Cable News of the Week.
St. Petersburg, Oet. 2K—A report
lias l>e« n finally received from Ad
miral Rojcstvenski regarding the
attack on lishing boats. While the
War department has not made the
report public, it is given out that
the Admiral thought there wire
some Japanese boats among the
fishermen's licet.
London. Oet. 2^—The English
are not pleased with the course
the controversy between England
and Russia is taking, and it is
freely predicted that war is inevit
able. England insists that Russia
must punish the men concerned in
the North si a outrage or light.
Russia is equally firm in the state
ment that the punishment of the
men will not he taken into consid
eration. The Times this morning
declares that a declaration of war
is the only way out of the trouble,
It says that British shipping will
he safer if hostilities were on, than
under the present uncertain con
ditions.
Seattle, Oet. 2s—The steamer
Mainlander was struck bv the tug
Sea lit in oft' West Point lighthouse
yesterday and sunk almost immed
iately. The Mainlander has been
nil the run between Seattle and
Vancouver and was returning fruit
the latter place when run down.
She had sixteen passengers aboard,
and they were ail taken on iW
Seal ion. Th<* crew was also saved
hat none oi the cargo.
St.Petersburg. Oet. 2*—A tribu
nal has been appointed to enquire
further into the North sea affair.
The admiral’s report is rather con
tradictory. and lie seems to lie bad
ly mixed in his statements oi the
occurrence. Russia is willing to
make reparation to England in
most any form, hut is still £nu fn
the stand that the punishment of
Admiral Koje^tvenski will amt IV
considered.
Mukden, Oct. 28—Both armies
arc lying quiet, and no engage
ments are expected for scveraJ
days.
London, Oet. 28—Baron Hsrar
ks denies the report that the Japa
nese are chartering ships in British
waters to carry contraband cargoes
to Japan. The rejmrt that .-itch is
the ease is current here, and may
result in the Ru.-sians interfering
with British shipping between here
and the Orient.
Gibraltar, Oct. 2>>—The British
fleet has started after Russians. It
is reported unofficially that they
have orders to stop Baltic fleet
pending settlement dispute.
London, Oct. 2H—The trouble be
tween England and Russia is to
be settled by the Hague tribunal.
The ilowers have been unable to
reach any agreement in regard to
the claim of Admiral Rojesvenski
that he saw Japanese boats in the
fishing fleet in North sea, and have
finally decided to let a Hague com
mission settle the question.
London. Oct. —An officer of
the British navy declares that the
investigation of the North sea af
fair goes to show that the Russians
*ink one of their own torpedo
boats during the firing at fisher
men.
The British people are greatly
dissatisfied with the turn the dip
lomats have given to the negotia
tions regarding the sinking of the
fishermen’s boats. They think the
government is too easy, and has
shown signs of weakness by allow
ing the matter to go before the
Hague commission, as it will take
a long time to settle it there, and
in the meantime, if Russian mo
tives were hostile, British shipping
will he in danger continually.
Washington, Oct. 29—Attorney
General Moody has notified the
marshal of the Third division that
bis official residence will hereafter
be at Fairbanks.
Washington. Oct. 29—James Ty
ner, formerly assistant attorney
general, has been reinstated in his
office By President Roosevelt.

London. Oct. 'J'.i—Nothing lias
hen heard of the Raltir fleet, and
it i* thought it has started around
i tho Horn, and will take eonl from
some of the trnn*-.\tla"n!ic liners
in mid-ocea n.
St. Petersburg, Oet. ‘Jft—There is
a general fee'ing i>f saiisfaeti. n i
here over the North son matter be
ing referred ton Hague commis
sion. Opinions differ great I v as to
the cause of Admiral RojesvctiskiV
action, and it is thought hv mnnv
that his < xp'anation i- very lame,
and in any ‘event slows incompe
tency.
Tacoma. Oet. it!—Fireman Kist
ner. of the Tacoma Kastrrn rail
road. jumped from a runaway en
cinc on that road yesterday and
was frightfully mangled.
New York. Oet. —A pier on
Fast river, on which were stored
.'IiU t 0 hales of cotton, burned last

cotton, hut without avail. A fire
man and n policeman were cut off
by the flames and burnc 1 to death.

ritt, a prominent capitalist of this
eitv. lias contracted smallpox, while

law of Marshal Field. He is not
expected to live.

al attack of the Japanese on Port
Aril nr ha# itegun. A general Iwjni
hardment is gome on from the torts
held hv the Japanese, and a rotn
hin< d assault is to he made from
all the outpi sts. The Japs expect
to capture the Port this time at
any cost. The troops will he sent
against the fortifications jn masses
and will attempt to capture the
Russian stronghold regardless of
their own losses.
Port Arthur, Oct. .MO The bom
bardment of this place by the Jap
anese is becoming intense and very
destructive. The city is aflame
and great damage is being done hv
the heavy guns of the Japan, se.
The Russian fleet is also suffering
from the Japanese firing.
Juneau, Oct. 30—The Santa
