A NEW MINING BOOM.
Rush Dlseorertes Reported From Look-
, oat Mountain A It ore Stevenson. -
A . mining boom has . commenced in
Stevenson that bids fair to become full
fledged in a short time, if the extrava
gant ciaims made by prospectors turn
out to be true.- The camp is about 20
to 25 miles away from Stevenson, and is
a region as inaccessible as could be de
sired by the most ardent sensationalist.
A' correspondent ot The Chronicle
writes as follows : - -
"Reports are coming into Stevenson,
Skamania county, Wash., daily that
very good prospects of gold, silver and
copper ore have been found in large
quantities on Lookout mountain. This
mountain is located on the bead of
Rock creek, about twenty miles north
west of Stevenson, the county seat of
Skamania county, from' which place
prospectors are now cutting in trails,
which will be easy- to travel on foot or
horseback. The ore seems to be rich in J
gold, silver and copper and is easy to
mine. There has been a number of
claims staked out and the country is
full of prospectors, and strikes are re
ported daily. There are now four tun
nels being driven and the ore is showing
up better as ' they go. There is also
some placer gold found near by, which
is ' being worked with success. . Many
new miners are now at Stevenson get
ting outfits and preparing to go out
mostly from Portland. . Supplies and
pack horses can be obtained at Steven
son, which is the nearest town to the
mines." ..
The above statement, though very en
couraging, is quite moderate when
viewed alongside the following Commu
nication in the Stevenson Pioneer,
which is signed "Timothy Sullivan, the
wild Irishman." Though the signature
is enough to create a doubt of the' gen
uineness of the communication, it is so
worded as to be entitled'to some weight
nevertheless:
"Before you get this there is liable to
be a thousand people here, for they are
coming from the north, south, east and
west, some turning back when they can
see the mountain, but they do not know
it. The long lost Copper Belt that was
discovered about 25 years ago by a
Scotchman, "I knew biin well, we pros
pected on the north fork of. Lewis river.
He started to Scotland with some ore
and wrote from New York that he was
coming, bnt took sick 'there and kicked
the bucket. So here we are now, the
biggest copper belt in the worid.v Little
Stevenson will be big Stevenson before
12 months. All it wants is men, money
and brains to run and work it system
atically. Time,, patience, courage,
strength and energy will do it. I am
getting old myself, going on 66, but can
beat any man in this camp climbing up
and down hill."
The Minnesota State Fair.
For the purpose of advertising Oregon
the Pacific Northwest Immigration
Board will send a car of Oregon product
to the Minnesota State Fair, which will
be held at St. Paul August 31st to Sep
temper otn inclusive. .Excellent space
has been received for this exhibit in the
main pavilion. During the time of the
state fair the Grand Armv encampment
is held in St. Paul and the Knights of
Pythias conclave is held in Minneapolis
so that it is expected that at least one-
half million people will view Oregon's
exhibit. This board will bear the en
cite expense 01 tms exnibit, but it is
asked that the people of Oregon assist
in making an exhibit worthy of the
state. It is desired to . exhibit grain,
grass, iron., minerals, wood, fish, wool,
hops, vegetables, etc.
The Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany will transport to Portland, free of
charge, all exhibits shipped from points
along the O. R. & N. Co. rail and boat)
They must be marked "charges collect."
The Chronicle will receive and for
ward all specimens intended for the ex
hitnt. The people who wish to assist,
if they desire may address for further in
formation the secretary of the board,
Mr. E. C. Maston. '
All specimens should be carefully
packed. Local immigration societies or
other organizations, or individuals, who
may have printed matter for distribu
tion, descriptive.of their section, are re
quested 10 sena a supply witn their .ex
hibits, for distribution at St. Paul.
We need immigration to Oregon, and
here is an excellent opportunity to make
known our resources and we hope that
the people will give their co-operation.
All exhibits must be in Portland on
August 22d for the car leaves there on
August 23d. ,
Address all exhibits, "Samples for ex
hibition" for The Pacific Northwest Im
migration Board, . Portland,' Oregon.
Without the words "samples for exhibi
tion" the package will not be carried
free on the S. P. R. R.
. -Wholesale Arrests of Sheepmen.
U. S. Marshal Humphrey of Portland
arrived in The Dalles yesterday, bearing
warrants for the arrest of nine promi
nent sheepmen of this section. A num
ber of these left, this afternoon for Port
land in company with that officer, and
were in a very discontented state of
mind. " The law which they are charged
with violating is pasturing their bands
of sheep on the Cascade government re
serve "with intent to destroy the range."
The sheep men are very indignant and
justly regard the action as the last straw

Their trials will occur before Judge

raisers of this country will be involved,

A BOY DROWNED. -
Clifford Carlton of Ormntu Another Vic
tim of tbe Colombia. -
About 7 o'clock p. m. Thureday a boy
by the name of Clifford .Carlton, aged
9, was drowned at Ccinmbus. while
playing on a scow. He and another boy
of about his own age were on the ecow
waiting for a man to come who was go
ing to take them to Grants. In a few
minutes after the boy had left the house
Mrs. Hicinbothem, the lady be was
stopping with, went down to the beach
to -find him, but was informed , by hie
companion that Clifford had gone in
swimming. Mrs. Hicinbothem imme
diately ran for assistance, and soon
large number of people gathered at the
river's edge to search for the lost boy
Everything possible was done to recover
the body, but all efforts to find it re
sulted in failure. His father, Mr. Em
erson Carlton, is now living in Grants
Or. The deceased - also has a brother
and sister. ' - '
Friday morning again a large number
gathered to search 'for the lost boy, and
dragged the river, but were as unsnccess
ful as before. '

Further particulars of the close call to

near Albany, Thursday evening indicate
a bravery and grit on the part of Roy
Laporte not often witnessed, says the
Albany Democrat. When he had
reached the eirls in the deep water one
of them grabbed him around the neck
and she in turn" was grasped by the
other girl. All three went to the bot
tom at once. Instead of struggling to
free himself, the boy bravely and with
great strength crawled along the bottom
toward the shore, dragging the two
helpless girls, one of whom was think-

A Proper Inquiry.
Editor Chronicle: 1
And now the people's line of boats,
that has striven so earnestly to relieve .
the oppression from corporation greed
on the middle Columbia, is refused the
transfer of its freight across the portage
at the' Cascade Locks-, notwithstanding
the state has spent about $7500 of the
people's money to' build a railroad to
make the necessary transfer. The Day
people, who have had a contract of work
on the locks, and who are there In ex
pectation of further employment, seem
to have become dictators, and the port
age commission seems to quietlv submit
to the dictation, notwithstanding they
have a railroad well equipped with roll
ing stock and a wharfboat and a force of
men to 'handle the business. ' Mean- .
while the steamer Dalles City is com
pelled to land as best the can below the '
locks and discharge her freight, then to
be hauled with wagons to the.upper
landing. Why this situation is allowed
to prevail is something very many peo
ple in Eastern Oregon would like to
know. Is there no one to stand. up for
the rights of our people? .

Burglar Frig-htened Away. .
A'lout 10 o'clock last evening Mr. if.
3. Sinnott was alarmed by the ringing
of a bell in the Umatilla House, which,
is connected by wire to the door of the
vault below the first floor. He inquired
of Fen Batty if anyone connected with
the bouse was below, and, receiving a
negative reply, went down himself. He
found the lock broken off - the door, and :
marks where a lever had been used. He
also noticed the lever, an iron bar about
13 . inches in length, which had been
abandoned by the would-be burglars.
These were . frightened by tbe unex
pected ringing of the bell and got .
away before they could be apprehended.
They were, after what ' plunder they .
could find, as they coujd not naturally
have expected to find anything more-
valuable than cigars or liquors.
Bales His Own Wool.
Mr. J. H. Sberar Is in the city. A
part of his wool clip has already arrived
and the rest is on the wav. Mr. Sherar's'
wool can easily be told from all tbe rest
as it lays on tbe D. P. & A. N. ware
house platform. It has been baled 'and
bound with iron straps. The device for
doing this is Mr. Sherar's own invention.
All his wool is now baled, before leaving
the ranch. In these' days when it re
quires the most rigid economy for a wool
raiser to market his wool without loss, .
any invention wnicn win reauce ex
penses should be hailed with satisfac
tion. Besides reducing bulk, the chief
advantage in baled ' wool is that tbe
transportation rates are much less than
upon bags.
