of one of the tn.wt interesting- eveut
of Its history. The late-King Cbula
longkorn while touring Jo the north
ern, part of his klnKdoui at the end of
his. reign visited the ancient town of
Pitsanuloke. which contained within
its walls a celebrated many centuries
old figure of Buddha.
The king was ao tilled with entbuai
asm by thla statue that lie ruade a vow
to place a similar figure la the, royal
temple, Wat Suan Duslt. In the capi
tal of his kingdom. He sent off some
BnddhUt prieeta Immediately to Bang

war with Burma to IMtsanuloke. lu
the meahtlnie the king so poshed on j
the work that by the time the cannon
arrived the process of casting could be

People Contribute Troaaures.
Faithful BuddbUts streamed from
" far and near and threw gold and silver
Into the glowing mass. Girls took off
their costly Jewels and offered then) a
a sacrifice. Whole families would
gladly hare given their all. In order
that the sanctity of the ancient statue
- should be conveyed to the new two
consecrated silver cords were fastened
to the ears of the old statue and given
Into the charge of the highest bonxes,
who watched day and night and sang
and offered prayers Incessantly.
mid the rejoicings of the peo
ple, the casting was finished, and the
atatoe, under the guidance of the king,
was conveyed in solemn proceeelou
down the river to Bangkok, where the
'work of art was to be completed.
It la said that hundreds of chisels
were broken during the work. King
Chnlalongkorn glided the face hlmAlf
and placed In the forehead an enor

figure was glided and adorned with
Buddhistic rosaries of fiery brilliants
from the king's treasury.

MINING RtPOATB.
(Continued From Pat )
Takllma company, the copper value
are sufficient to cover all cost of
mining and reduction, leaving th gold
as clear profit
Aa can easily guessed, th deep pU
cer dlgglnga of Southern Oregoa ar
likewise forming a basis for renewed
mining development; and Ilk th
quart ledge they. too. will b opera
ted on a bigger scale, la many In
stances the hydraulic plants formerly
employed will be abandoney. and deep
.wedges Installed. Nana for such
changes ar already under way; In
fact the machinery la now being
placed on the properties of th Rogue
River company. 8lmllar dredging
plants lll b placed on th propertle-
nf the Peep Gravel company, of Wal
la The Old Channel company Is
.
also contemplating placing oi
dredging machinery on its Gallc pro
portiea; If thla Is not done, the pres
ent hydraulic equipment will b Im
proved and enlarged. Th Improve
ment of operating plants on these sur
face diggings must certainly result In
a decided Increase of gold production
for Smt hern Oregon.
It wss proven, by actual testa this
past week, that all the sands of Rogue
river, including the high bar, carry
fine gold In paying quality.. An Indus
trial fair waa held In Grants raea..
and to complete the mining display, a
quantity of Rogue river sand waa de
eded.- This was procured, and when
run through a fine gold saving ma
chine, gave surprlalng reauita in very
fine flake or "flour" gold. The min
ers making the test were much Inter
ested as well as excited, and procured
more sand. Kith the result that gold
waa found In all of It. The residue
from one yard of sand, panned by 0.
W. Finch, of this city, gave retursg of
50 cents. Thla waa not selected sand,
but waa taken from th rlvera wig
near Grant's Pass. Th Incident Is
Interesting, not for the amount of gold.
but as an Indication, of th precious
content ft all the sands of Rogue
river. At this rate. It la evident that
there ar millions of dollars In th
sands or Rogue river which can be
commercially mtned. This Is some
thing that hag been overlooked In th
past, but which ' will undoubtedly be
given due attention In th future. Like
other propositions mentioned, It Is
something that must attract th cap
ital and ability of experienced mining
men to prove of worth.
MORMON BASIN.
The following, facts" and' figures re
cently prepared of the mine In the
Mormon Basin district, go to show
that the recent renewed activity in
mining is general throughout this lo
cality, and are (acta which It give
the Mining Journal great pleasure to
note.
Six feet of or waa recently opened
on th 400-foot level of th Rainbow
mine, assaying $25 00 per ton. As
tb upper levels at thla point showed
comparatively small values, big things
may be expected when they get un
derneath the main or bodies. On the
250-foot level on of tb or shoots
Is 195 feet long, over ten feet wide
knd the ore averages $36.10 per ton In
free gold. Owing to the scarcity of
fuel and difficulty of hauling during
the winter months, Mr. H. C. WUmot,
the manager, will probably close the
mill shortly and confine tbe work to
developing new ground and blocking
out of ores and the operation of the
cyanide plant which was recently in
stalled. Ever since milling was -gun
at this property the tailing! have
been carefully Impounded and a large
tonnage Is now ready for cyanldatlon.
Humboldt.
At the Humboldt, on the second
level, five feet of quartz was recently
opened on the hanging wall side of
tbe vein, four feet of which asaayi
$4.50 per ton and one foot $84.00 per
ton in gold. In an old shaft In the
gulch, GOO feet west of the' hoist,
which was recently opened up by
means of sn up-raise, four feet of
$6.00 ore and 15 Inches of $18.00 ore
has been disclosed. This last show
ing proves the ore rone to be 700 feet
long and all indications are that shoots
of or will be opened np at Intervals
for the full length of the ground,
which covers a distance of 3500 feet.
Th or In the Humboldt occurs In
big lenses or shoots, showing areaa
from two feet to forty .feet In width
and from 70 feet to 200 feet long. All
of tbe ore can be made to yield good
profits when tbe present plana for
electric power are carried out. Sul
phide ores ar coming In on the lower
level, showing iron, lead, tine, anti
mony, tellurium and free gold. Ores
from th sulphide ion ar Invariably
high grade and four trail shipments
from th bottom of th drift yield
respectively 192.38, $170 79, $996.70
nd $45.26 per ton. The Humboldt
Oold Mines Company owns 240 acres
of virgin timber land, which Is suffi
cient, If conserved for that purpose,
for timbers tor th ml a for at leaat
ten yeara operation, hut If need for
fuel would be exhausted In thre to
four yeara. Th mill will therefor
probanly soon be closed down and
very effort mad to secur electric
power, which will solr th fuel prob
lom. , .
The Gorman group of fir claims

Northwest. Only on vein, showing
two feet of fil.oo or, has been opened
ap thus far, but In th placer workings

tity of eoars quarts boulders, prob-
iiy about 100 tons, nsost of which

Jack Monohan haa a group of claims
west of th Humboldt which to very
promising territory, lie haa don con
siderable development- work during
the past summer and la making ar
rangement for a continuation of the
same.
The management of tne "Cleve

Th geology of Mormon Basin Is

any other part of thla state. U re

atrated that tb bettor and richer or

bearing solutions having permeated a
larger area as they approach th sur

and broken.
, Mormon Baaln a Big Producer.
With only ten atampa dropping for
the paat several months the, Rainbow
mine at Mormon Baaln has been turn
ing out from $17,000 to $18,000 month
ly, to say nothing of th concentrates.
which will be treated later on when
a cyanldlng plant to put In.
The scarcity of water, the only
power practical la the absence of elec
tricity, la the reason for onlyhaif of
thestamps of the mill dropping.
Along with the development work
haa been going on and will be more
vigorously prosecuted after October
1, when the mill will close down.
All work is being directed under
terms of an agreement pending a 11 k II
hood of the property passing Into tbe
hsnds of a rich syndicate.
Tbe Rainbow pay roll ,1a between
$8000 and $10,000 monthly, most of
which snm of money finds Its way
Into the business channels of Baker.
The Humboldt mines, too, are mak
ing a great showing and the Oregon
and Idaho Investment Company, of
Baker City, owners of the mines, ar
meeting a 15000 pay roll monthly.

Mooes Smith couldn't positively for

however he might til wow rag, and tb
result waa pumpkin on very hlQ and
la every hollow.

to sell Ibelr llvee and their pumpkins

front, to so now tb church building
progressed and waa tnet by th reply:
"Nothing doing, elder, and may not
be for two or three year te com. I'm
sorry to say that th town seem to
hav backslid, and I shouldn't be a
bit surprised to se llghtala' atrikln'
round as any tlm.'
By th flat of tb fair a stranger
coming Into tbe' village would have
found everybody down on everybody
else. U would alao hav learned that,
forty-one families were growing prta
pumpkins and that each family fully
expected to get that bit of bine ribbon.
The show pumpkins must be got to
tbe county seat ten miles swsy. Tw
wagons could hav conveyed them,
but no! Each pumpkin most be got
tber by Itself. It waa carried there
In a sheet, on stretcher, la a buggy,
by a team. When they were on ex
hibition at last tbey all looked te be
about the same else and weight, and
as a matter of fact tbey were. Each
one had been nursed and encouraged
to do It bet, Of cours a row could .
be looked for. The pumpkin commit
tee bad beard about tbe trouble at
TJnlty and did not wish to add te It
Tbe contest was ao close that tbey
could very well bring In a report of no
decision, but that waa far from satis
fying the exhibitor. Tb upshot was
an almost complete failure of the
whole show. ,
Th fair over and tbe pumpkins re
turned borne to be msd Into plea, tb
common sen way would bare been to
drop tbe whole matter and let nnlty
prevail In spirit as well ss.nsm.
Common sense had nothing to do with
It. however. Tbe exhibitors blamed
tbe Judges as well as each other, and
that kept tbe quarrel alive for another
year. Meanwhile nothing mora was
done toward a church, and th sorrow
ful circuit rider got the people together
for a Inat sermon and said:
"Where pumpkins prevail Instead of
the teachings of the gospel there Is no
vineyard and no work for a pilgrim.
As many of you aa will pledge your
selves not to grow pumpkins for tx
blbltion another year please staud np."
Not a person arose, and tbe good
