Start on Long Journey From

LOS ANGELES, Dec." 13. Aviator
Horace Kearny, who left Newport
beach at 12:40 o'clock this afternoon
to fly to San Francisco in a hydro
aeroplane, with Chester Lawrence, a
newspaperman, as passenger, became
lost within less than hour after his
departure today. A fleet of motor
boats, the only craft available, was
started out tonight from Redondo
Beach, Santa Monica and San Pedro
to find them.
Both men have life preservers.
Friends think they are safe unless
there has been a mishap to the engine.
The flying machine should be able to
alight on the waves instead of plung
ing, a wreck, beneath them, they say.
Kearny, flying low, passed Point
Firmin, the northern headland of Los
Angeles harbor, at 1:15 o'clock this
afternoon, about 45 miles from where
the start was made. Kearny had
trouble with his motor early in the
day and this delayed his departure
for several hours, but up to the time
he vanished and while passing sever

Although there has been only a few
days of active soliciting among the
business interests of the county in
behalf of the Progress and Anniver
sary Number of the Enterprise, the
warm raception given the project by
the local public insures it being big
ger and better even than the last an
nual number.
The attitude of the people is highly
gratifying to the Enterprise for more
reasons than one. The fact mat ev
ery business interest represented in
last year's number has also arranged
for representation this year ..--d in
most cases on a larger scale, proves
rather -conclusively to the Enterprise
that it is well worth while to get cut
as high class an issue as was publish
ed last year. With increased patron
age, and the indications are now that
practically every progressive business
of substantial character in the city
will be represented in some form, the
Enterprise proposes to make the forth
coming number still bigger and finer
than its predecessor.

FIRST CHRISTMAS MESSAGE.
TO
PLANS FOR ELEVATOR
Elevator engineers and men inter
ested in the elevator which is to be
installed' in the near future, and for
which bonds for $12,500 were author
ized at the recent city election, will
be present at the next council meet
ing which will be held December 21.
The site for the elevator is now the
most important factor to be decided.
The most popular choice at present
is Sixth Street, but the council will
get suggestions as to the site from
property owners. It is thought that
a large number will be present at the
next councp meeting to offer sugges
tions. Elevator engineers will submit
plans, though the majority of the
council is inclined to wait until next
year before taking any definite act

PAID DEPARTMENT TO
FIGHT FIRES URGED
G. G. Faullkner, an experienced fire
man, reports that his plan to have a
paid fire department for tJlis city is
being considered favorabry by the au
thorities. He suggests that at least
two men be employed to give their en
tire attention to extinguishing fires
atid planning to prevent them. In
speaking of his proposition Saturday
Mr. Faulkner said:
"In case of fire you have to, go from
the building afire to the fire station,
ring a bell and wait for help, which
takes from three to five minutes.
Then a cart has to be drawn to the
burning building, which takes at least I
fifteen minutes. If a combination
chemical and nose automobile were
purchased and two paid firemen ob
tained the cos would be mupb. less
and the results much greater. The
paid firemen could respond to the
alarm of fire while the volunteers are
running from the station to the burn
ing building. The apparatus would
cover the entire city and the1 insur
ance rates would be materially reduc
ed. Mrs. Heyburn to Get "$7500.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 The de
ficiency appropriation bill will appro
priate $7500 to pay Mrs. Heyburn the
equivalent of one year's Senatorial
salary. This is in accordance with
custom. '

OGLE MINE TO HAVE
BIG CYANIDE PLANT
STOCKHOLDERS AT MEETING EN
THUSIASTIC IN SUPPORT
OF PLAN
ENGINEER SAYS SUCCESS ASSURED
Mine as Near Positive Certainty as
Is Possible Charles Spaulding
Is Named Engineer of
Plant
. The Ogle Mountain Mine Company
has determined to put in a $50,000
Cyanide plant which is to be in full
working employment by September 1,
1913. The mining expert who is
specially engaged to give the property
the most exhaustive examination pos
sible, in his report fully indorsed the
work which had already been done,
and appraised the mine at a higher
value than any previous report had
done. The directors purpose to ap
point Chaales Spaulding, E. M., of
Denver, Col., as Mine Superintendent,
under the general management of J.
ii. Jaircloughi President.
The success of the Ogle Mountain
mina means much to the mining inn
terests of Oregon, Washington, and
Northern California. The first mines
were placer, and easily worked, but
there nas been little permanent con
bequence in the devlopment of quartz
mines. In southern Oregon, as well
as throughout Siskiyou County, the
quartz miner, when not a pocket hunt
er, invariably quits' at water level, so
that from the level down, the mines
are comparatively unexplored. The
Ogle MoiJntain property is especially
fortunate in that values begin at grass
root, and from the apex to sulphides
shows undiminished assays.
From the very nature of its enrich
ment cynaniding is indicated, and the
tests of the experts .prove that the
mine is as near being a positive cer
tainty as it is humanly possible to
foretell. There does not seem to be
any room for doubt in the minds ot
the - engineer. Many offers of pur
chase have been received, but refus
ed, the stockholders realizing the po
tential value of the property.
Mining interests throughout the
Nortnwest are keenly interested be
cause the success, of Ogle Mountain
means the pouring in of eastern cap
ital to develope tne many properties
now lying idle ever since the rush
for Alaska and the Klondyke caused
the hard working quartz miners to
hunt the more easily worked placer.'
At a special meeting held in Knapp' s
Hall- on Saturday, 'all the directors,
and nearly 150 stockholders were pres
ent. T. B. Fairclough was in the
chair. W. T. Wilson is secretary.

brother Kenneth, in front of a Port
land bound Oregon City car, an nar
rowly escaped death Saturday. T. B.
Fairclough, who was standing on the
corner of Seventh and Main, seeing
the girl struck, by the car, jumped
from the sidewalk and caught hold of
of the child, lifting her from under the
car. The car was in charge of Motor
man Rufner, who brought the car to
a standstill "within a few feet. Had it
not been for Mr. Fairclough's quick
work, however, the child might have
been killed.. Immediately after the
accident, the child was examined by
Drs. W. E. Hempstead, and C. M.
Barbee, surgeon of the Portland Rail
way & Power Company.
The girl was walking with her
brother and suddenly saw some toys,
and without a word to her brother,
dashed into the street. The car was
going slowly, and the girl received
only a tew minor scratches. Several
women who saw the child under th,
car became hysterical.
The girl walked to her home, at
211, Madison Street, with her brother.
Mr. Fairclough, the hero, was con
gratulated by many friends Saturday
evening.
IN HIS HOME CITY
"There have been so many changes
in the city since I left here,' said
John Blackwell, of Tacoma, who is
visiting friends, "that I hardly knew
the place. I left the city more than
thirty years ago, and have always
wanted to come back, but this is the
first opportunity that I "have had."
Mr. Blackwell came to Oregon City
fifty eight years ago, and lived here
twenty eight years. He said that he
had met only four men who lived here
when, he was a resident of the city.
They are Charles E. Burns, David
Caufield,. George McCarver and George
Miller. Mr. Blackwell .attended the
meeting of the Masonic lodge Satur
day night, having been initiated in
the local order forty two years ago.
