C. Stohr a Convert to Flax Doc
trine of Eugene Bos.
Kalein 3. C. Btobr, of Chicago,
aaai.tant traffic director of the liarri-
man line, accompanied by General
reight Agent K. II. Miller, of the O.
AN.; (ieneral Passenger Agent W.
Coman, of the Southern Pacific, and
K. Iunabury, traveling freight
nd passenger agent of th latter com
pany, were here lasi wee 10 mane in-
nine, into the practicability oi trie
entahliHhment of a linen mill here,
and held a conference with Kugene
Bosse, the flax expert, and Mr.. W . P.
ord, a flax enthusiast, in the reception
room ol llie Hinaineiie noiei. a. a
result of the conference MrJStohr .Ute.
lat he is convinced that a quality oi
fibre that rannoi he excel led any place
se in th) world can tie grown in tin.
vallev. and that everything from the
coarsest of twine, and cordages, crash,
etc., to the very lineal lineii and lace,
can be manufactured from it.
He i. also aa.ured by Mr. Iiosae that
ith the aid of a new fl iz pulling mi
lling which is now in course of perfec
tion and completion the raw material
an lie produced outte as cheap, ll not
heatier. than in the foreign counirie.,
ud that the finished product could ie
laced upon the market at such prices
iat the foreiun or eastern mills could
not comimte with.
Mr. Stohr collected a great amount
of reliable data concerning the industry
hile here, and will carry it hack to
Chicago with him to make his report.
He would not slate what particular
action the llarriman system proposed
lt take toward promoting the develop
ment of the industry, but he say if
the project looks feasible to the man
agement it will exert lis innuence
toward interesting Kastern capital to
invest in the enterprise.

the state employes decided to levy an
assessment upon themselves to raise
fund to defray the expense ol hiring an

the duty of the secretary of state to
issue salary warrant on the first of

was at the rate of 2 pel cent on the
monthly salary.
John A. Carson was employed to con
net the mandamus proceedings, which
will proliably be commenced this week
after the monthly payroll ha. been pre
sented to the secretary of state and he
as refused to issue a warrant.
Secretary of State Punbar take, tlie
mieition that it is his duty to proceed
under the general law and issue certifi-
ates of allowance for the reason that

The employes contend mat under me
Kay law, paeseil by the last legislature,
t is the dutv of the secretary ol stale
to issue warrants lor salary claims,
even though there lie no appropriation

BIG STRIKE IN OPP MINE.
Sack of Or are Taken Out Worth
$20,000 a Ton.
Medford When tbe first big strike
was made in the Opp mine, two week.
ago, many people expressed opinions
that it was a bunch and that the vein
would pinch out, as so many other veins
have done in Southern Oregon. Kvents
have proved, however, that if it is a
tjunch it is the biggest, richest and
most extensive ever found on the Pacific
coast. Last week a second strike,
somewhat smaller than the first one,
was made, and a body of ore richer and
larger than both other, has just been
uncovered, proving conclusively that
the Opp mine is one of llie most prom
ising quarts gold mines ever discovered
on the coast.
Besides this extremely rich ore, they
are taking out large quantiti of high
grade free milling ore, and the width
and depth of the vein increases. The
first strike amounted to .0 sacks ot ore
that was almost pure gold ; the second
one consisted of five sacks of an esti
mated value of $1,500; the third one,
the ore of which is considered richer
than either of the other two, consisted
of 40 sacks, already taken out, and
there remains an unknown quantity of
ore .till in sight. This would make
the three strikes aggregate a value of
over 120.000.
Hon. H. K. Ankeny has visited the
mine and while there offered $1,200 for
three pieces of ore weighing altogether
110 ounce. The offer was refused.
At this price the ore would be worth
$133 a pound, or $230,000 per ton.

RIPE FOR A REVOLUTR N
Feeling Again' th War i Running
High in Russia.
St. Petei.hurg, June 0. Condition
are, indeed, ripe for an uprising
throughout Russia which will Im of a
widespread character. At the Pavlovsk
concert-hall last night a gigantic dem
onstration was held, at which a dozen
prominent speakers, throwing discre
tion to tbe winds, denounced the czar
and the government for continuing
struggle which could only result in th
nation being plunged deeper into debt
and in the useless sacrifice of thousand
of loyal subjects.
The excitement was intense and on
order of (ieneral Trepoff, the police at
tempted to clear the building. A free
fight followed, in which the police
used their whip, and clubs, but th
excited people fought buck, and for
time it seemed that they would gain
the mattery.
The crowd was eventually dispersed
when soldiers arrived on the scene and
threatened to fire.
'The officers of the guard, regiment,
who have been .ent to outlying bar
rack to instruct the reserves, have
openly revolted and refused to do their
work. A number of them have been
placed under arrest, and are likely to
be shot tbi morning.
From all over tlm country come re
port of anti-war meeting, which th
police have been powerless to soppres.
Only the official class favor the contin
uance of hostilities, and the pressure
in favor of peace i. very strong. It i
reported that several regiment of re
serves at Sevastopol and Odessa have
mutinied and openly defied their offi
cer. Trouble is looked for here dur
ing this week unless some steps are
taken to placate the malcontents.
