RICH LODE FOUND Old Prospector Makes Big Strike in Skamania. ASSAY SHOWS $12.50 TON Excitement In Vancouver Results and Seven Men Tnlto to Stake. Claims fop Companr Which They Form to Prospect, VANCOITVER. Wash.. June IS. (Special.) A mother lode. SO feet wide, containing gold, silver, platinum, and a small percentage of lead, assaying tlS.SO to the ton. on tbe surface, has been discovered by Michael Welch, an old prospector. In Skamania County, north of St. Helena. Wash. Much ex- rls Noble, who was left at an orphan asylum In Chicatro during the World's Fair In 1S'.'3 by his parents, whom he believes to hav been aeparated, spent yes terday at ths City Hall and after several hours' march unearthed a record that told him for ths first time th day and year of his birth. The document read thru he was born March . ISIS, his father be ing William Henry Noble, a bar ber, but th residence was not given. At the Courthouse ba en deavored to find a marriage cer tificate, but was unsuccessful. In searching ths records of tb Oddfellows, however, ha met a man who found that his father had worked at t North Third street. In a barbor abop, and had lived In Fulton Iark. On going to where th barber shop had bean, he found a cloth ing store, but going; across tha street to a aaioon. ran Into a, bar ber who said to him before be could make known bis errand. "Why. you ars young Noble. I would know your face anywhere. 1 knew your father well." Th stranger could tell him nothing, however, of tha whereabouts of cltement haa been caused In Vancou ver by the discovery, and aeven men from here have Joined In a mutual com pany and staked out claims. This lode has been th object of a vain search for 60 years by many prospectors. Welch, who has prospected near SL Helens for years, has panned gold from th creeks below where the ledge was discovered, but noticed that when he passed above a' certain stream no colors were found. This was also true on tb other side of the mountain, of a stream there, making him sure that bs had resched a point near where the mother lode should be. With on part ner be chopped a trail Into a place never before visited by white roan, and there for two weeks proepeoted for th missing lod. As hs was returning to camp on night bs found an outcropping; of strange-looking rock. It was quarts, the long-sought mother lode. Specimens of ths or from eight pros, pect holes rave values of S7.e in gold, an ounce of Oliver, and the remainder In platinum, making or values of 111.40 for tb surface. Tha ore Increases In richness at slight depth. Welch staked out four claims on th ledge, and organised a mutual com pany composed of W. C Clow, M. A. Clow. Matthew Hogan. II. A. Russell and Charles Clow, of Vancouver. Welch and a partner returned to th prospect today, to prepare to tunnel Into the mountain. SO feet below the point of discovery, and crosscut the vein.

Over 100 domestic corporations In the state have dissolved in the last month and further dissolutions are being re ceived at the rate of from 10 to 16 dally. Corporation Clerk Babeock believes this Is owing to the fact that they are compelled to pay annual fees, and as they see the business of the corpora tion Is lotting Instead of paying, they are dissolved rather than pay ths fee. The Automatic Sprinkler Company, of New York, which recently entered into a $12,000 contract with the state, has paid no corporate fee. regardless of warnings from the office, and there Is a possibility that the company will have difficulty In collecting money on Its contract unless the fee is forth coming.
