How the Peal Was Consummated History of the Mine and Its Owners. LEWISTON, Idaho, April 2J. A Grange vllle (Idaho) special to the Morning Tri bune announces the consummation of one of tho most Important mining deals ever made In the Northwest, and whereby the former Big Buffalo mine at Buffalo Hump becomes the property of Charles Sweeney, the Spokane capitalist. The sale today embraces the Bert RIgley, Young and Bobbins Interests, representing one half of the mine, for $U5,O0O cash. Sween- Tt;iis::;;isis;:;;;i::;::::;;;;i::::i:ii:;i:iiigt Remember there can be no registration after May IS, neither for the state election In June nor for the Presiden tial election in November After May 15, there will be the long", tedious and expen sive process of setting; the testimony of six witnesses as to your qualifications, and the -witnesses must be freehold; ers. The simple and easy way for the qualified voter Is to register at once. There are yet 6000 voters in Multnomah County not registered. Avoid the rush during the last days by registering now. And If you are not registered it will be no easy task to furnish the proof, after ilay 15, that you are a legal voter. Remember also that It will cost you trouble to vote in the (Presi dential election if you do not register now. HtmiMIMtlMIIMIIIIIIIIHMMIIIMIMIMIItMt ey had previously secured the other In terests for which he paid about IT5.000. The deal on the property has been pend ing- many months, and tho terms were reached here Saturday, when the Inter ested parties left for Grangeville to se cure the necessary records and signa tures. Van B. DeLashmutt, of Spokane, nego tiated the deal for Sweeney, and the pay ment made today was through the Lewis ton National Bank, of this city. The price exceeds perhaps that paid for any prospect in the mining history of tho Northwest, and this seems to bo but consistent with the Interesting history of the property. The mine was located Aug ust 10. 1S9S. by two poor prospectors. Young and Bobbins. Young's story of the discovery was that they had run out or grub, and ho went hunting deer. Re turning at nightfall and when near camp, he picked up a piece of quartz from a 40-foot ledge and carried It to camp. In the morning, tho quartz was roasted and a rich assay resulted. They hastened to civilization and made the discovery public at Florence. Then followed tho great Buffalo Hump boom, and peoplo flocked into the district from all over the country. The mine is located 7000 feet above sea level, and Winter practically excluded op erations, although Charles Sweeney took a bond on the property for JC2S.CO0. and paid $23,000 down. He then spent $31,000 In developing the property during the winter, sinking a CO-foot shaft- No other work has been done on the mine. Before the first payment was due Jake Rice and Ferry Mallory instituted, a grub stako suit for a one-half Interest, and the mine has since been tied up In litigation. Rice, who was e merchant, contended in his suit that he grubstaked Young. Rob bins and Mallory to visit and locate the mine, which had been previously discov ered by Mallory, and that the latter, after leaving Young and RoDDlns In the moun tains, gave them a map to guide them to the bonanza. Rice and Mallory were awarded one-half of the mlno by the Dis trict Court, and the case was then taken to tho Supreme Court, where a decision Is now pending. This decision is noir Im material, as Sweeneybas purchased the Interests of all parties! Several rich min ing syndicates have at various times ne gotiated for the mine. Tho De La Mar Company offered to spend $50,000 In devel oping and then pay $500,000 for tho prop erty. This and similar offers were re fused. After the discovery of the mine Bobbins began drinking heavily, and died as a result of dissipation. Dell Butterworth, who acquired an Interest In the property from Young and Bobbins, died at Grange ville last Saturday, the date the agreement was reached. Young shot and wounded Rice last fall, as the result of litigation, and was found guilty cf assault with In tent to do great bodily harm. He Is now under sentence, and his case is before the Supreme Court on appeal. The mine has been thoroughly expert ed, and It Is conservatively estimated there is $400,000 worth of ore in sight, with limited development. Sweeney is a rich Coeur d'Alene mlneowner, and will oper ate the Big Buffalo for his own company. .NOTHING LIKE PIIOSPECTISG. Old-Tlraer, Golna: to Snmptcr, Tells of Its Fascination and Toll. Nicholas Gray, an old-time prospector of the Pacific Coast, passed through Port land yesterday on his way from Califor nia to Eastern Oregon, where he Intends to put In the Summer hunting for ledges containing free gold. Mr. Gray says, "once a prospector, always a prospector," and so he cannot resist the temptation to try his luck In the Sumpter mining district, where he feels assured there are more valuable properties to bo discovered than have even now been opened. "That entire country." he says, "is full of quarts ledges, and they are all rich ones, too." Ho will not hunt base prop ositions, however, but will pick out the free-milling ledges, as these can be made to pay the expenses of development. Rock that Is rich enough to enable a man to make good wages with-a hand mortar la what he la after, a the discoverer of such a ledge need be. In no hurry In hunting up capitalists to sell out to. "The poor nrosDector who strikes fre-m!lMnfr em j need have no uneasiness about unpaid store duis or unsoia stock." he says. "He can pound out the gold at his leisure, and the business men at the nearest town will always be glad to sell him goods." Mr. Gray will outfit at Sumpter. by pur chaslng a pack horec. saddle, pick and pan. "APENTA The Safest and Most Reliable Household Aperient The RICHNESS of APENTA WATER In natural saline aperients renders it the most valuable and safest laxative and purgative. and he will provide himself with a light shelter tent and some blankets, while a supply of flour, bacon, tea, coffee and sugar will be purchased, sufficient for a two months picnic among the higher al titudes of the Blue Mountains, about the head of the John Day. He expects to meet quite a number of prospectors there this season, as there will be quite a rush of California goldhunters alone. "A prospector's life possesses the charm of always hoping to etrike It big." he says, "and even should be not succeed, he can enjoy himself as no city denizen can. The Blue Mountains are delightful In the Summer and early Fall, and when one tires of prospecting be may try his hand at hunting or fishing. There ts plenty of game to supply one with fresh meat all the time; the larger streams abound In fish, and the pure mountain air and water keep the prospector In the bet of health. There is only one risk to run. and that Is of accident, and so it is safer for two prospectors to go together, as a man may fall off some steep ledge and break a limb, while climbing around In search of cropping:. Where two can agree for a whole season, the prospector's life is the happiest one In existence." The successful prospector, according to Mr. Gray, must te a man of Intelligence and have at least a natural insight of the laws of geology. He must be able to Judge on looking over the face of a coun try whether the formation Is volcanic or alluvial; he must be a good guesser as to the pitch of a certain ledge, so as to know how far down the hill to start his tunnel. In order to cross-cut; and he must nex-r get tired or hungry. When he feels ex haustion or hunger coming on, he must pitch his camp, unpack his horse and stake him out to grass. Then he can build a fire, cook some bacon, bread and coffee and rest until he feels better. "Pocket hunting" has been one of Mr. Gray's occupations, and this he considers the most fascinating of alL The pocket hunter tolls along the steep mountain sides, perhaps far from water, and he car ries a little of the aqueous fluid in a can with him to wash a handful of dirt here and a handful there, following up "colors" until a pocket of decomposed quartz is found, which may yield several hundred dollars. The pocket-hunter, however. Is fortunate who finds enough in one pocket to keep him going until he strikes the next His last experience In pocket hunt ing was in the pine-clad hllfc of Southern Oregon. He does not consider Eastern Oregon a pocket country. SOUTH OF ASHLAXD. Activity In the Mining- District "Tear Cole's Station. ASHLAND, Or- April a Unusual activity is now going on In the mining district adjacent to Cole's Station, near the California boundary line, and Just south of Ashland. S. F. Fore and "Doc" Hamilton, recently from Los Angeles, have acquired the Pool mine, four -miles west of Cole's, and at present have a force of 20 men engaged in' building a wagon road from the Hilt North Star and Harrison mines to their newly ao quired pioperty. The wagon road covers a survey of five miles. The new propri etors have also arranged with the Ash land Iron Works to put in a new 10-stamp mill, with enough steam power to add 10 additional stamps as soon as required. The ledge on the Pool mine is a large one, with a width of from 10 to 12 feet, the rock from It 'being free-milling, and going $10 to $U' to the ton. The same men who own the Pool mine are the proprietors of the Sterling ledge, four miles west of Cole's. At present they have a force of 12 men engaged in de velopment work on the Sterling, the ledge of which varies from 7 to 10 feet In width. Tho 10-stamp mill on the property Is now being overhauled and improved, and two mortars are being made for It in this city. The ore from the Sterling is free-milling, and goes from $S to $10, and there Is an abundance of It In sight. Quotations of Btlalns; Stocks. SAN FRANCISCO. April 23.

The County Board ot Commissioners held on adjourned session today, and granted the petition for the Improvement of 12 miles of road from the Lower Clackamas bridge to Logan, by way of the hatchery. The residents In the vicinity of Logan subscribed $2608 for the Improvement of that part of the road between the hatchery and Logan. and the citizens of Oregon City will con,. tribute 500 lor that part of the roadway between the Lower Clackamas bridge and the hatchery. The board made an order that duplicate amounts be set aside from the road fund equaling the amounts sub scribed by the citizens above named: also that "W. H. Counsell have charge of said Improvement, and that work be com menced at once. It was also further or dered that. Inasmuch as the citizens of Eagle Creek, George and Garfield pre cincts were trying to raise1 a subscription oi 3mi to extend tne improvement to Burkhardt's mill, when this amount Is raised the board will aDDronrlate a simi lar amount for this purpose. About $100 nas already been subscribed for building a plank road up the Abernethy to Red land, by Oregon City, the board having agreed to appropriate a similar amount for this purpose when $1000 is raised. The board decided to confer with the ers In reference to rebuilding the Sandy SCROFULA In many respects Scrofula' and Consumption are alike ; tier develop from the JI-TSm .Ml Mm: . : Wi3h-"ingR3"i7" generations has Ci t rK j i jilL"Fl i? Scrofula requires vigorous, persistent treatment, xaz JFi faM a V WP jggZ&F' S. S. S. is the only medicine that can, reach deep-seated blood troubles like Scrofula. It goes down to the very roots oi the disease and forces every vestige of poison ont of the blood. S. S. S. is the only purely vegetable blood purifier known. The roots and herbs from which it is made contain wonderful blood purifying properties, which no poison, however powerful, can sjsassstsiBf 1""S resist- S.S.S. stimulates and purifies the blood, increases the C3 flPiC TTM'S tfcJ&MMm uHEr&m appetite, aids the digestion and restores health and strength to the i-sMNb W km, m MJk AW HMmummmXOMlkmmm mm enfeebled body.

It is a fine tonic and the best blood purifier and blood builder known, as it contains no poisonous minerals. S. S. S. is pre-eminently a remedy for Children. When my daughter was sn infant she hid s severe ease of Scrofula, for which she was under the con stant care of plrracmns for more than two j ears. She -was worse at the end of that time, bowerer. and we almost despaired of her life. A few bottles of Swiff Specific cured her completely, as it seemed to go direct to the cause of the trouble. I do not believe it has an equal for stubborn cases of blood diseases which are beyond tne power of other so-called blood remedies. S. I. Baooxs, Moaticcllo. Ca. Our medical department is in charge of experienced physicians who have made Scrofula and other blood diseases a life study. Write thenvabout your case, or any one von aft interested in. Your letter will receive prompt and careful attention. We make no charge whatever for this. bridge at the Bull Run crossing. The bank almost caved away on the south ap proach to tho bridge last Winter, but the Clackamas County Commissioners made it temporarily secure by dovetailing long timbers Into the end of the bridge struc ture and weighting down the ends. Travel Is still passing over the bridge, but it will have to bo rebuilt during tho present sea son. Today the County School Superintendent made an apportionment of school funds amounting to $37 SO for each district, being the balance due on the $TO apportionment made in each district annually. Farewell to an Esteemed Pastor. VANCOUVER, Wash., April a Yes terday morning the Rev.

The rush to the mines Is being felt In the scarcity of labor In the woods to sup ply the demand for railroad ties and other special timbers. There are now in the shipbuilding yards at Gray's Harbor six ocean-going vessels In course of construction, and eight were built and launched last year. As all tha shipbuilders have contracts, and will lay other keels just as soon as the ships they are now building are completed, the rec ord for thi9 j ear will double that of last year. The 19,000 acres of timber lands In Sno homish County owned by the Weyerhau- ser syndicate, and acquired In the recent big purchase from the Northern Pacific, have been reported to the County Asses sor for regular assessment. They lie In township 23, ranges 6, ?. 8 and 9 east, and In township 23, ranges 7 and 8 east, all of WJMJ&3 A MILLION 5MDKER5 BURN 5WEET INCENSE TD THE NAME OF THAT QENEHOUSLY 0000 C!GAt Bm iacj MBM The CHILDS has grown to be the universal cigar.

April 2X Governor Brady, 3f Alaska. Is In this city. For some daya be has been In -Washington in the interest ot the Alaska bill, which he hopes Con gress will pass this session. He will re I turn to Washington today. In tho course I of a conversation hail with him at the Fifih-A-,enue Hotel last night. Governor Brady said: "From present appearances the discov ery of gold In the Cape Nome district promieee to be one of the most important finds in Alaska. At first people were skeptical of the reports that gold existed In that district In paying quantities, but results have proved that there were no grounds for doubt. At the end of the season the value of gold produced was $2,250,000. one million having been taken. 11U1U IUQ UULU UIU LUC ilTUiaiilUCl IIVIU the gulches. The finding of gold upon a cea beach Is something in gold mining that Is new. It is believed that the deposits run out beneath the water, possibly een beyond the three-mile limit, so that it may come about that before long we shall pee the unique spectacle of gold being mined from Ktp?im"i!Yi Th lntpjtt npus ! that has come out Is that the tundra Is gold bearing, and sufficiently rich to pay handsome returns. "But the main thing that Is agitating us now is that we want Congress to do some thing for Alaska. It is Impossible to get along without law courts, for one thing. It is unfair to expect General Randall with I a few troops to keep In order the 25.00 i or 30,000 people who are expected to go to I Alaska during the coming season. The bill which to now before the Senate would give us much needed relief from the unsat isfactory state of things which" we now have to contend with. It would give ua a civil code. If Congress should fall to give us these laws and the courts It would be a calamity, because fully 25,000 people fare reported to be already booked for Alas ka by the transportation companies when I the season opens. Alaska has been kept In the background all these years, and something should be done for it now, be cause tho more we know of it the more valuable to the country It becomes. "We wish to organize Alaska Into a ter ritory, but it is Impossible for ua to do so until Congrcsa gives us adequate land E-jrii DWCftf ftsums The BHghtSng same gen- SLgdOi ml&fftSWT - dioou mini uc urougut uacii vu iiucuiuy SPECIFIC COMPANY, ATLANTA. SA. laws. We already hate mining laws, and there Is no trouble about getting title to a mine, but jou cannot get a title for a home, and therefore those -who wish to make their homes In Alaska ha e no Incen tive to settle there, because they cannot obtain a title to their land. There are many people who went into Alaska soon after Its transfer who have continued to live there i ear after year, constantly hop ing that they would get the wlshed-for ti tle, but they are hoping yet- The want of these land laws has retarded tho growth of Alaska more than anything else. "For Instance, Alaska would be glad to receite the large number of Immigrants who are coming from Finland to this coun try. They are just the kind of people who would build up Alaska. They would bo at home In the climate there, and the resources they would "have are undoubtedly much better than those of Finland. Those peoplo would soon become prosperous. With no permanency guaranteed to them, the people would bo unable to s land taxa tion to eupport a territorial form of gov ernment. . "Congress Imposes upon us the licensing sjstem, and all the money that has been derived from that source has been turned Into the United States Treasury without any provision being made for any part ot It being dc oted to any specific purposes In Alaska. Congress should provide liberally for tho schools, and if the cuggtetcd bill Is enacted, part of this money will be al lowed to the municipalities organized un der the law." Jo.iqnln Eolnbe HnnReil. SAX FRANCISCO. April S. Joaquin Eslabe. the Oakland murderer, died on the gallows at San Quentin today. He met death bravely. Eslabo killed Charls E. Gates, an aged cripple, in Oakland on March 27. 1SSS. Gates was a tama'e vender and boro the reputation of being a peaceable citizen. Eslabe was married to a joung woman from whom he had been separated for some time previous to the commission of the crime. He alleged that his wife's friendship for Gates and the taunts flung at him by the latter Induced him to com mit the murder. It was proven, however, that he robbed the dead body of his vic tim of a watch and $25 In cash, and this fact militated against him when the cae was tried. He received the death pemlty, but was twice reprieved before the sen tence was finally affirmed by the Supremo Court of the state.
