TULE LAKE SWAMP LANDS.
State Most Show Why They Should Mot
3e Held for Cancellation.
Extending northeastward from the
Hot lake between La Grande and Union,
is a stretch of territory called "The
. Tales." In it is aa irregular tract of
about 1700 acres, designated on the gov
ernment plats as "Tule lake." Govern
ment surveys were made in October,
1863, and at that time the lake was
from two to six feet deep. Later on the
water in the lake receded, and a 1700-
, acre tract ' was claimed by the state
. under the swamp-land act. while the
land surrounding was taken by the
state under the internal improvement
' act.
The local land office officials haye
just received a decision from the com
missioner of the general land office that
at the time Tule lake was selected by
the state it was in reality a lake, and
could not rightfully be claimed as
8 warn p land. With this decision sixty
days' time is given the state to show
why the land of Tule lake should not be
held for cancellation. If the state fails
to make such Bhowine, the owners of
the lands adjoining will baye the right
to claim extensions to their tracts to
the center of the lake.
What makes the matter more compli
cated is the fact that after selecting the
tract as swamp land, the state sold the
eame to individuals.
The land has since passed under a
mortgage to other parties, and more or
lees of the land adjoining is under
mortgage to different individuals and
companies.
THREE FRUITLESS BALLOTS.
Joint
Whlngton Legllslature In
Session Tote for Senator.
Olympia, Wash., Jan. 2C Both

In the third ballot, Turner gained two

day.
Delgado ia Deed.
Washington, Jan. 20. Consul-Gen
era! Lee telegraphed the state depart
ment this morning that Senor Delgado,
the correspondent of the New York
Mail and Express, who has been a
prisoner, died in the hospital last night.
. Bnstian People rear the Plague.
New York, Jan. 21. A Herald special
from St. Petersburg says :
The fear of the Indian plague reaching
here grows rapidly. The Navoe Vremya
says that on account of England's
methods in permitting the population of
the stricken districts to emigrate, the
plague will soon be rife all over . the
country.
The Mirovie Otgloaki says :
"Italy, France and Austria have taken
pr.'ciutions. History has 'shown that
Russia is always the country that suffers
most from the pest.' Russian doctors
should go at once to the plague-Btrisken
districts and find out the truth and study
the disease,' as w cannot rely on the
reports of the English, whose commer
cial interests haye eaten into the human
itarian instincts of all nations. ' The
world should nnite to form a cordon
around the devastated plague districts."
Here all precautions for maritime and
land quarantine are nnder consideration.
Doctors have been sent to keep a proper
guard on the Persian and Afghan fron
tiers. ' I

Sasj Fbasciscow Jan. "21. United
States Ciruit Judge Joseph McKenna
has iuat arrived from Canton, O., where
he went to viBit President-elect .Mc-
Kinley. ' It was this visit, very suddenly
made, that disclosed the fact that Judge
, McKenna will in all probability be offer
ed a cabinet portfolio by the president-
elect. Judee McKenna left here a week
ago last Monday, went to Canton, re
mained 12 hours and returned to San
Francisco, the trip consuming ten days.
The return of Judfee McKenna was as
sudden and unexpected bs his departure.
. Though fatigued from the long journey
across the continent, the judge had much
of interest to say of the purpose of his
Avian trip and the prospect of his be
coming a member of the cabinet. He
was, however, very cautious in'hirstate-
ments. He addmitted, nevertheless,
that the situation, particularly -in rela-
tion'to himself, called him to Canton
While be qualified all of his remarks in
relation to his acceptance of a proposed
portfolio, he is very certain that Cal
ifornia will have a representative in the
official family of the president-elect.
He said :
"I consider that too much significance
has been attached to my visit. Many
changes may occur. There is perfect
freedom on the part of Major McKinley
.to do as be may wish, and perfect free
dom on my part. It is difficult to state
the exact situation. There are some
difficulties in the way of my acceptance
of the portfolio.! I explained that very
fully and tbey are not definitely settled.
Neither the vacancy on the supreme
bench nor my present position are in
any way involved in the question of my
acceptance of a place in the cabinet.
There are other difficulties in the way
of mv appointment to cabinet position."
Mr. IlarrU" Platform.
Topeka, Jan. 21. State Senator and
ex-CoVressman W A. Harrie, whom
the Populiats have agreed upon, for
United States senator, today said :
"I want to see the government, ac
cording to the law of 1862. take possess
ion of the Pacific railroads. This is a
matter of justice to the people and would
prove a value able object-lesson in trans
portation affairs."
He alo expressed himself as in favor
of an income tax, the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, and a tariff for revenue

One of the minerolog'ical experts of
a larc-e mining company recently re
turned to New York after an extended
trip through the south in the interest
of his organization, and, in speaking,
about the mineral resources of the
southern states, he said :
"I have passed through nearly al!

terests of a number of capitalists, and.
after a careful survey of the field, it
is my honest belief that the future min
ing operations of this country will be
in the south. Instead of the west, I
found the Appalachian range particu
larly rich in all the auriferous and ar
gentiferous ores, not -only in Virginia,
but throughout the whale length into

Story That a Syndicate Will Give

New Yore, Jaov 20. The Press
morrow will publish the following :
Attorney-General Harmon arrived in
the city today, to consult with the gov
ernment directors, the reorganization
committee and the underwriting syndi
cate of the Union Pacific regarding the
adjustment of the debt of $55,000,000
due the government. An underwriting
syndicate has been . organized among
bankers and trust companies, with a
view to offering the government $45,000,
000 for an assignment of its debt agaiost
the Union Pacific. -
.-A Cue Tor Lame Back.
"My daughter, when recovering from
an attack of fever, was a great sufferer
from pain in the back and hips," writes
Louden Grovsr, of Sardis, Ky. "After
using quite a number of remedies -with
out any benefit she tried one bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and it has
given entire relief." Chamberlain s
Pain Balm is also a certain cure for rheu

mont section. It is estimated that this
industry is now valued ot several mil
lions of dollars, although -it is only u
few years old. When I visited the fields
everybody was looking for monazite.
and the business will bring in at leasi
$1CO,000 to the. people of the Piedmont
section this year. Owners of apparent
ly worthless land have let it out to con
tractors at the rate of $200 on acre, and
these miners make big profits besides
few years ago the owners would have
been glad to have received three or four
dollars per acre for thisland.
"There is more gold m the south than
any man ever unarmed. 1 races ot it
prop up in the most unexpected places,
and there must be some valuable veins
hidden away in the mountains that will '
some day be discovered and startle tie
country. Cripple Creek will be nothing
to the southern gold fields after they
nave once been located. It seems strange.
but the fact 13 nevertheless true, that
the south has never been thoroughly ex
amined for mineral and gold products.
Before the war everybody went west
to find gold, end -the south was given
over to cotton, tobacco, sugar and rioe.
After the war closed nothing was done
for a long time to develop the indus
tries of the southern states, but now we
are beginning to realize that a great,
undeveloped field spreads out before us.
There are scores of gold prospectors
trave.ling through the mountains of the
south, locking for the treasures tihat
are sure to come to light someday. Peo
pie speak about the future supply of
gold being found in Africa! Why,
more gold is buried in the Appalachian
range of mountains than, they will find
in Africa in the next 100 years. But
tie mountains are 60 vast, and the re
gion so little known, that it will take
lime to locate the best mines even
after the prospectors have been attract
ed to the place.
"Another thing about the southern
mines is that many of the most precious
stones have been picked up at various
points, and where such jewels arc
spread out on the surface you can rest
assured that there are others further
down under the ground. For instance,
at Corundum Hill some beautiful sap
phires have been found. Here are some
,hat I secured from a miner. They
were not mining for sapphires, but hap
pened to pick them up while mining for
ores. Over 100 sappnires nave Deen
found at this place, and moet of them
are valued at $50 to $100 and upward.
"The fact is that we have a countty
capable of producing all the precious
stones known to science, but so much
attention has been given to the mining
of iron, coal, oil, silver and gold that
the more precious products of the rocks
have been neglected. I remember dis
tinctly in California, when the gold fe-
er was at its height, miners threw up
several fairly good specimens of dia-
monds.but in their craze for the yellow
metal they paid no attention to the pre
cious stones. They knew all about gold
mining, but nothing about. diamonds.
Xow that the gold fields have been ex
hausted. I cuess many of them wish
they had stopped and pocketed some of
the precious stones they threw away.
If we made as thorough preparation
for diamond mining as they do in South
Africa, we would find this country much
richer in materials than anybody anti
cipates. A company has recently been
organized to develope the mine of pre
cious stones m the south, and it has a
number of agents in the field making
examinations. They will include in
their work all of the precious stones,
diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, beryls,
garnets and every other gem of any
value. They will be provided with the
proper machinery, and not with coal
and gold mining implements. It is all
wrong to suppose that a coal or gold
miner would unearth the precious
stones if they happf-ned -to be in the
mountains. The precious stones are not
always found where the gold and "coal
fields are located. It needs distinct ma
chinery and methods, and this is the
only way that we can ever hope to de
velop the gem resources of this country.
The compnny which I have been travel
ing for has already made negotiations
for large tracts of mineral land along
the' Appalachian system, and it will
make immediate efforts to develop the
mines. I have no doubt' but they will
strike many unexpected fields of pre
cious gems, and the country will get a
new idea, of the resources of the mines
of the south." Philadelphia Times.
