Debs votes versus Bryan in several New England towns, electric coal cutting reshapes British and American mines, and forecasts celebrate the new century. A mining company profits in Alaska from rock nearly free, amid falling ammonia and ammonium prices. Indians and silver production drive global markets as the era closes.
