Chief Executive Sit. In Chair Which
Roo.evelt U.ed Many Per
son. Call on Nation's
Head
WASHINGTON, March 5. With
the tinsel and military pomp, the
cheers of the multitude, the stirring
music of bands and tlie heavy tread of
marching thousands, the fireworks
and tho limeligiit only a pleasant
memory, Woodrow Wilson settled
down in the chair of Presidents as
quieily and with as little ceremony
as almost any man who ever crossed
the threshold to become Ha master.
Ills long day was crowded with In
cidents and filled with the flavor of
power that Is the President's. Almost
his first act was to serve notice on
office seekers that they would not be
w elcomed at the White House, unless
tiiey had been invited.
In spite of the report that Mr. Wil
son mi?ht be expected to change
many of the precedents that have
grown up about the presidency, he
bothered today with none of impor-
, tanre except that which permitted
the office seeker to Invade tbe White
i House. He fitted in easily with the
machinery of the executive offices,
did mostly what trained official, told
(Continued on page 4)
Most Oregoiilaii. are sceptical about
mine in the Cascade range, espec
ially in the part of tbe range in this
seetiou of the state. Vet there la no
n-HUhOu why these big mountains
should not carry mineral, and in fact
U.ey do. Tbe reason so little of it
baa beep found. Is that tbe older
country locks, the mineral bearing
formation, arc, as a general thing,
buried under a tremendous capping
of basalt. Where the older country
rocks, howeer, break through tnis
crust, they almost always show min
eral, suys tho Daily Capital Journal
of Saleir.. This is the case up in the
Gold Crtek section, in Eastern Mar
ion county, and It also proves true at
Ogle Mf.untaln. where the Ogle Min
ing Company is opening up a group
of 22 claims. These mines are locat
ed partly in Marion County, and aii
immense amount of development
work bas been done. Discovered some
dozen years ago by tho Falrclough
brothers, work has been prosecuted
on them ever since. Wbile this wai
necessarily slow , ow ing to tbe lack of
means, yet the brothers were persis
tent, end they have, from all appear
ances, von out. They drove one tun
nel iibout 700 feet, cutting the ledge
at a depth of about 600 feet, and they
found Hp- vein, of good size, strong
and evtuly mineralized. The crou
pinga were in porphyry formation,
and th surface ground below the out
crop all "panned" well. Near the
surface some remarkably rich speci
mens Tilled with free gold were found,
and In fact, this same character of
"tlt.'cin.en ore" is found at all depths,
though, of course, In small quantities.
After cutting the ledge in the first
tunnel another xvas started at Ogle
' reek at the foot of the mountain,
nnl was driven in UfiO feet, cutting
the lecge at about 1JO0 feet anl at
a depth of about 1300 feet. In run
uing this tunnel four blind ledges
were vut, all running parallel to the
main ledge, and probably will unite
with it at a greater depth. These
ledges were, taking them as encoun
tered, 10 feet, 4 feet, 9 feet and 5 feet,
respectively, and all showed ore and
values indentical with the main ledge.
The latter, wliere cut on the lower
tunnel, is fully 50 feet thick, and is
in contact between the porphryry
and a Mack diorite, a splendid miner
al bearing formation. The main body
li" ore is low grade, running from $3
to J19 per ton. and samples taken at
random from 'he ore car, worked by
cyanide test, above $7 per ton. The
ore has been undercut, that is a drift
bas been run up the lodge quite a
distance, and there is ore enough In
sisxlit tt, keep the cyaniding plant,
which the company expects to install
this year, running for ten years from
tbe overhead stope now opened. This
plant, once in operation, should easily
produce $700 a day for years to come.
Not only this, but with the ledges
cut at thiB grat depth, showing their
permanency, the amount they may be
made to yield is only a question of
the slz? of tbe plant for handling the
ores. There Is ore enough In sight,
or certain, to keep a plant handling
1000 tons a day at work for years to
come, and this would mean an output
of $7,000 a day. The ore carries, be
sides its $7 a ton gold, from $1.50 to
$2.00 a ton silver. Besides this Im
mense body of low grade, the rich
stringers following the walls and split
ting through the ore body will great
ly enhance the average value, though
it is not taken into consideration at
all in making estimates. The writer
has had a good many years experience
In the mines, and unhesitatingly pro
nounces the ore of fine character,
bright and lively. Ogle Mountain,
from all Indications, Is going to make
tne mining world sit up and take no
tice, and will put the Northern Cas
cade range on the mineral map.
Vaudeville Act. and 8lnglng of Local
Quartet Delight. Organiza
tion's Banner Smoker
Crowd
Oregon City was hardly outdone by
the National capital lust night for
the Commercial Club had Inaugura
tion ceremonies of President Wilson
and tbe Democratic party before a
crowd that taxed the capacity of the
dub rooms. Early in tbe evening
President Mcliain of the Commercial
Club announced that "Mr. Taft" jad
arrived and was ready to hand over
the reins of government to bis stu
dious successor. The crowd greeted
the auuoncement with a cheer and
shortly ."Mr. Taft" (C. J. Buchanan)
entered the room leading tbe Demo
cratic donkey upon which was seated
"Mr. Wilson" (J. P. Lovett). After
loud and continuous applause "Mr.
Taft" was finally able to deliver the
government Into "Mr. Wilson's '
bands, whereupon Mr. Mcliain said
that the Republicans had so long
been in power that their president
bad grown fat, whereas the Democrat
bad so long been out of power taat
their new president was very thin.
He hoped that at tbe end of Mr. Wil
son's tenure of office both he anl
everybody else would grow fat. Mr.
Uuchan.in, as "Mr. Taft" and Mr.
Lovett, as "Mr. Wilson" were excel
lent, and the resemblance to tbe
President and ex-President was re
markable. The donkey was kindly
donated for t'ie occasion by John
Moore. Jr., oi Mount Pleasant. Be
fore tbe ceremonies it created much
excitement by iu refusal to enter
the elevator anJ later by running
away. But it was captured and final
ly taken to the club rooms, where its
behavior was hardly w hat might have
been expected, considering its pres
ence on such an illustrious occasion.
Both the Star and Grand Theaters
kindly donated troups of vaudeville
artists End piano players, which were
highly appreciated by the audience.
Both troupes were of the first order
and were much applauded, lit. and
Mrs. Birch, the ".Novelty Musicians"
from the Grand, gave clever comedy
and played a few fine selections on
the harp, flute and violin, lilamphin
and Hehr, of tbe Star, were the
source of much amusement caused
by the many catchy songs which taey
sang in a still more c-itchy manner.
W. W. Walker, of the Grand, and
Manager Murphy, of the Star, did
some fancy playing on the piano.
The Swnffori Quartet, composed
of Harold Swafford, John Mulkey,
Ardeu Hickman and Hugh Kennedy,
sang well and s iould continue the or
ganization, the Busch Orchestra
played at different times during the
evening in a manner which would
lead one to believe that he was lis
tening to professional artists. The
Members cf the orchestra are Frank
Busch, Jr., Henry Pusey, Ray Baxter
nnd C. A. Scaoeuberg.
Harold Swafford favored the com
pany with several fine whistling so
los, his canary bird like warble prov
ing popular.
After the entertainment a boun
teous repast was served In the Ma
sonic dinning room. The crowd of
more than o'OO was the largest and
most appreciative audience that haa
ever gathered In Cue Commercial Club
rooms, and the whole affair was a
great success. Great credit Is due
Mr. McPain, M. D. Latourette and
other members of the committee for
the success of the meeting.
