(Special Dtapatrfc to The Journal.). Baker Cttjr, Nov. 10. An aerial tram way of about 3,000 feet length haa been ordered by Manager J. A. Ward of the Elkhorn Conaolldated Oold Mining com pany. to connect the mlnesworktngs with the new 10-atamp mill that 1a being fin ished. The contract for this work has been awarded to J. E. Oyllenberg of the Baker city Engineering works, and It Is stated that the tram will be com pleted as quickly aa possible. In relocating- the mill the distance from the mine workings was made greater than before. The management concluded that the only economical mode of delivering ore would be by a tram, which is planned to extend up the hill to the portal of the No. 10 tunnel. Sta tions will be made for the other Im portant adits between No. n and No. II tunnel, the latter 'being the lowest driven on the Maxwell mine. The tram is to be of the typ most commonly used at present, single cable with fixed buckets, loading and dumping automatically. In relocating the mill the management was able to get better power for the water plant, as the Maxwell la equipped with both a water and a steam plant. This property covers a vein system directly up a mountain side that has an .elevation of 1,100 feet. Fourteen tunnels have been driven on the several veins, but most of the work Is on the granite contact, where the ore haa formed In larger shoots than In any part of the narrow alate belt that marks the mineral sone. Tunnel No. 14 has been driven In more than 1,600 feet and No. It has a length of about MOO feet Numerous crosscuts are made in all drifts to explore lateral ground, for the fissures are numerous. The mine is opened by about 9,000 feat of work, most of the ore mined having been taken from the No. 10 and lower tun nels. By establishing a station at the portal of No. 14 and another at No. It all of this ground can be mined and the ore delivered to the mill tn a most eco nomical manner, and when the Maxwell opens for Its next run It will be In shape to handle lower grads rock than at any time In Ua history, as hauling down the steep mountain side In wagons was the mode of delivery before a snow slide wrecked the old plant. . OREGON ASBESTOS IN SEVERAL DISTRICTS Asbestos has been discovered in many parts of Oregon, and in some sec tions the vegetable-mineral seems to offer assurance of profit If mined. In the Blue mountalna several fairly de fined veins have been opened, they, aa a rule, being narrow, and on one wall of a large dike or quarts vein. One de posit near the Bonanza was discovered by J. H. McVlekera, there being two veins, one on either wall of a big por- A COLUMBIA PHONOGRAPH By special arrangement with the 'Co lumbia Phonograph company Thev Journal is making it possible for any one and every one to own one of these wonderful machines.

The fiber taken from the hanging wall deposit wss exceptionally long, even at the surface, and analyses were to the effect that the asbestos would command a good figure in the market. No effort has been made to develop the property. Several other amall veins have been opened, butt Ken erally the; 'prospectors conoluded that the asbestos was not In sufficient body and did not have depth. The past week specimens were taken to Grants Pass from Oallce creek, southern Oregon, by John Rivers, who discovered a deposit on property he owns. Those who saw the samples pro nounce a portion of It a very pure ar tlole, with a good fiber. The length of fiber and tensile strength Is the stand ard for judging, aa In manufacturing these features become Important fh de termining the grade of asbestos cloth and packing. There seems little doubt that some of the discoveries being made will be de veloped some day, especially if it Is proved that the asbestos goes down. If it does, there Is no reason why Oregon should not market a quantity of the valuable material and become at least a small rlvsl of Canada In a trade that is highly prised by Aunt Peggy. RICH FREE ORE TAKEN FROM GEM'S 500 LEVEL (Special 'Mapatrb to The Joarnal.) Baker City, Or.. Nov. 10. Albert Oel ser, managing the Oem mine, which la under bond by the Oelser-Hendryx com pany, has brought to this city a lot of rich specimens from the recent strike on the S00 level. The ore Is beautiful, being a pure white quarts with abun dant free gold In gralna from pin head to wheat kernel slses. The samples were taken from a point on the S00 where the vein Is four feet wide, and from which the company is steadily shipping high-grade rock. Work la being continued there steadily. The strike Is like those for which the Oem Is noted, as ft has produced remarkably rich rook In years paurt. EXCAVATING FOR A NEW POWER HOUSE COBTDOm HABTAOl DEB WAT TO SMI LATIOST TBOM 800 TO SMO OOlUIUgITT T. M. Dill, connected with the Condor Water aV Power company, Jackson county, stated while here today that the work of enlarging the plant at Qoldray was proceeding rapidly. An excavation of about 10 by 100 fset la being made In the rock formation for the second power house, which Is to be Immediately ad joining the one erected before. Mr. Dill says that he understands the manager will put In turbines and dynamos suf ficient to bring the total capacity of the Condor plant up to 3,000 horsepower. This work wlU be pressed to an early finish, as the construction fores Is ss busy aa the elements and conditions will permit. People of eastern Josephine and Jack son counties In general take keen Inter est In the work being done by the big concern, and expect to see marked de velopment of resources aa a result. They are especially sage to see what stimulation wUl be given horticulture and agriculture by the proposed plans for irrigating with electrical energy, using It to pump from the wells. If this work Is successful, and there is no doubt that It will be, If the price at which power Is furnished will make the use of It economical to the farmer, tnere are vast tracts of land In Jaokson and Josephine counties which will be made available to the fruit grower and small farmer.

Often the suggestion Is made that capital be Interested In the deposits of this state, developing one or more to the stage where they would supply the local de mand. Some anaylaes have been made by experts to this end, with fairly sat isfactory results, and latterly discov eries of materials have been reported that lead to the conclusion that the state will In due tints be manufacturing all of the cement required here, and per haps be exporting to other countries. The elements of No. 1 Portland cement are: Lima, 59 per cent; silica, 14; alumina, 7; oxlds of Iron, t.t; magnesia, .71; potassium, .7S; sodium, .75; sul phate of lime, 2.76; and clay sand, l.i.

A discovery said to be of great promise was made tn Wallowa county, down on the Snake near Lewlston. which waa taken up by capital with the purpose of developing It, but latterly nothing has been heard of the work Detailed analyses were not available for this deposit, but It was reported at Lewlston snd Spokane to be admirably adapted to the making of a first-class Portland cement. , Development of the cement Industry seems never to have been undertaken In a scientific manner In Oregon, and the prospecting work done for the proper material has been quite limited. Expert geologists and mineralogists are quite frank in the belief that when such la undertaken, the state will more than supply Its own demand for the essential of artificial stone. noii sUUeM W. W.

Beere tary Hay this morning gave a hearing to a delegation representing the Inter national Reform bureau and a number of '-other missionary societies which have united In a petition asking tha government to Initiate diplomatic ef forts to induce Great Britain to release China from treaty compulsion to allow the opium traffic. The missionary societies claim to represent a majority of the American people, and as President Roosevelt snd the senate have already declared In favor of a universal treaty to prohibit the sale of both intoxicants and opium among aboriginal races, tt Is hoped that some tangible results may follow to day's hearing. It Is believed that tha Japanese government would be ready to Join any movement to suppress the opium traffic, as both before the war snd recently It has shown an Interest In the matter. 1 COL HOFER OF SALEM LANDS FIRST PRIZE Writers outside of Portland who com peted In the Oregon story writing con test have been awarded the prlsna to which the judges found them entitled according to merits of their work.
