MAY SINK TO 2000 OR 3000 FEET Derelepsient Bac Proved That Ike Ores Increase In ValKe and Telsme "With. Depth. SUMPTER, Or., May 7. Gold mining In Eastern Oregon la passing out of the "gophering" or experimental stage an! into the stage of deep development. It coats money to delve deep Into the bowels of the earth, and doubt of the profitable ness of this character of work has hereto fore retarded Its progress. There was no certainty that the ore bodies went down or. If they did, that they retained the values found near the surface. Many Including men who professed to be min ing engineers of experience, were of the opinion that the mineralized beljL was comparatively limited In extent. The development of the past few years has clearly demonstrated thatt Eastern Or gon Is the largest gold belt In the world. General ICisllngsbury, the expert In the employ of Ie la Mar, the Idaho mine own er, says no other field offers eo great opportunity for prospecting. It has also beenproven that with depth the ore be comes richer and greater In volume and values more evenly distributed. Min ing In Eastern Oregon will be done to a depth of between 2000 and 3000 feet. To use the words of Frank S. Balllle, gen eral manager of the Columbia mine, "the depth to which we can go will be limited only by mechanical problems hoisting and pumping." Deep work can be done cheaply In this country, as water and timber are abundant and easy of access. More frequently than otherwise timber and water are on the ground which cov ers the gold-bearing rock. In this country the ore Is found In chutes, the majority of which He at an angle of 23 degress. Chutes 600 and 703 feet long have been found. Sometimes the chutes are E0 or eo feet apart, and In other cases 500 or 600 feet. They are gen erally separated by quartz, all vein mat ter, but, ,as a rule, carrying no values to speak of. Sometimes the chutes are found on the hanging wall, sometimes on the footwall and again on both walls. There Is no fixed rule for guidance. The only way to locate the chutes and deter mine their size and the value of the ore In them Is to sink. In the great vein on which the Golconda, Columbia and North Pole are situated very few of the chutes come to the surface. In the Gol conda chutes have been found on the 200-foot level that did not appear on the 200-foot level. Gettln.Ready to Sink. Every mining property of prominence in this country Is making ready to sink deep. Two mines which are in a posi tion to do this class of work are the North Pole and the Red Boy. The lower level in the North Pole is now 1000 feet below the apex of the mountain, and an encouraging feature Is that the values on that level show more free gold than at any higher point. E. J. Godfrey one ot the owners of the Red -Boy, Is a firm be liever In deep work. He says It Is the only thing to do now that it has been proven that the ledges go down, and that values Increase with depth. Mr. God frey has had experience in Alaska, the Black Hills, Georgia, and Virginia. For two years he has been endeavoring to in terest British and American capital In deep mining In Eastern Oregon, and suc cess has attended his efforts. He has placed an order for $55,000 worth of ma chinery for deep work on the Red Boy. The purchases Include the best make of hoist engines, force pumps and drills. The machinery bought has capacity to go 2000 feet below the present lowest level on the Red Boy, which Is 500 feet. "Work to be done during the coming Summer Is ex pected to uncover an immense body of ore. A three compartment shaft is con templated. The ledge Is supposed to vary in width from 12 to 25 feet. Golconda Buys Machinery. At the Golconda. the value of deep min ing Is well understood. Golconda work has proved that each 100 feet of depth has added 30 per cent, to the value of the ore. At the surface the chutes were low grade, but at 200 feet they began to get high-grade. They have increased in size and value with depth. This Is true, also, of the Columbia and other mines In Crack er Creek district. The formations were subject to leaching near the surface. It is believed thai the Golconda with its 400 feet of depth, is below the limit ot leaching. The Golconda will increase Its entire working plant this year, it will put in a double Drumm. hoist, two cages, air compressing plant. S2 concentrators, and increase the number of its stamps from 10 to 40 This machinery, for which 550, 000 will be set r.part, will enable the mine to treat from 100 to 120 tons a day. The plant is now handling between 30 and 35 tons a day. The new machinery will be in place and ready for work by September. The Golconda Is now down 400 feet, and Is cutting the station for that level, but not drifting into the ore body. H. O. Stickney. superintendent of the mine, is a firn believer n depth. "Anyone who knows anything about mining." he says, "knows that all that Is needed In this country Is deep work. Not a mine in this country has reached the water level. "We expect that the water level will bring us a larger volume of ore. and higher and more evenly distributed values. When we get those things we shall have mines." Results at the Columbia. The Columbia mine lost money until deep mining was begun. The three-compartment shaft Is down 400 feet. It has been found that the ore radically changes with doth, and becomes more profitable for concentration and stamp milling. Be low the line of oxidization heavy sulphides carrying copper are found. "Each property in the country Is a problem In itself," said Frank S. Balllle, general manager of the Columbia. "Thor ough development is absolutely necessary before a dollar should be invested In ma. chlnery. The character of the ore is llkety to change with depth, and In such cases machinery not suited to the ore Is a dead loss." It is reported here that the Columbia will build a cyanide' plant and add It stamps, making 20 stamps In all. Manager Balllle will neither affirm nor deny the reported increase in capacity. Men wh have knowledge of the Columbia's af fairs assert that an Increase will soon be necessary, as the present plant is too small to handle the output of ore. GOLD IX DOUGLAS COtWTY. Digging Which Turned Oat $1000 In 20 Days. H. TV". Holden, who owns mining lands in Douglas County, was at the Perkins yesterday. Ho predicts that Oregon will turn out more gold within five years than Alaska will, with all the talk about Nome. He exhibited two vials of gold, tasen from a placer mine at the junction of Cow Creek with the south fork of the Umpqua, where one man had taken out $1000 in 20 days by the primitive sluice box process At present, Louis Ash. the fortunate -possessor of this rich digging?, has to rpen? entirely upon rains for water to supply h!s sluice box. and so the mining season on that particular claim Is very short. Mr. Holden Is forming a company, however, to bring water a dis tance of 11 miles In a flume, and when this Improvement has been made, a hy draulic system can "be worked the year around. The ground pans out from 35 to 76 cents per yard, which is exceedingly rich. 10 cents being conoidered good pay for gravel under the Influence of a hy draulic pipe. Louis Ash has 1100 acres of such land, so there is no danger of the diggings giving, out right away. The miners of Douglas County have done well th!s year, Mr. Holden says, as the wet season has been of longer dura tion than usual. . Quotations of Mintage Steclau SrOKANE. May 7.

The annual report of County Superin tendent George "W. Jones, of Marlon County, for the year ending March 5, 1S0O, shows a decrease In the number of resi dent pupils, an increase- in the enrollment. In teachers salaries, and In both receipts and disbursements. The general statis tics of the schools for the years 1S99 Sand 1900 are as follows: " 1S99 1300 Persons between 4 and 20 years of age SS33 9775 Pupils enrolled in public echools.61SS 63&i Average daily attendance 4315 59o Number of teachers employed.... 245 221 Applicants examined for teach ers' certificates 74 tl Applicants failed to pass 35 25 Teachers employed holding first grade certificates 22 151 Children not attending any school.3021 2235 Teachers employed In private schools , 63 42 Pupils In private schools 797 750 Number of legal voters 5261 4G37 The financial report for the year ended March 5. 1900, shows the following, figures for 1SS9 being given for comparison: 1S39. 2300.

State Land Agent L. B. Goer sheared his band of CO sheep last week, the yield being about eight pounds of wool each. So far as known, this Is the first shear ing done In this vicinity this season. The sheep were Merinos and Shropshlres. The wool was sold tc the Salem "Woolen Mills, but the price paid is not announced. Mr. Geer said today that he had two reasons for shearing early. One reason was that he believes It is good for the sheep to stand out in a heavy rain Just after being sheared, the rain driving off the ticks that Infest the sheep. Another reason was that he believes the price of wool is higher now than it will be later, and he preferred to shear early and avoid a pos sible drop In prices. Manager Coshow, of the woolen mills, said today that his company is offering from 16 to IS cents, for this year's clip of wool. Several small clips have been re ceived, all Indicating that the quality will be better than usual. As soon as tho present spell of rainy weather Is past, shearing will bo general In this vicinity. Xaval Militia Crnlnc. Governor Geer today received from the Assistant Secretary of the Navy Depart ment a letter stating that it is the desire of the department that the regularly or ganized Naval Militia of tho Pacific Coast states shall each take a cruise of practi cal Instruction and drill on board a naval vessel during the present season. In this connection It is stated that the United States gunboats Bennington and Concord have recently been detached from duty on the Asiatic station, and ordered to the Pacific Coast, where they are to go out of commission for repairs. In view of the fact that no other vessel Is available for the purpose, as In previous years, the department considers It possible to employ these gunboats In the annual tour of duty, previously to placing them out of commission. The Bennington and the Concord will each accommodate 75 Naval Militiamen, but will not be able to handle a greater number at one time. The letter says: "In view of the present circum stances and conditions of the service, the department would be pleased to know whether It would be practicable to divide the Naval Militia of Oregon Into bodies of 75 men each, and thus enable them to participate in the usual annual cruise. The tour of duty. If given, will continue for a drill period of seven days for each party embarked, and the general condi tions and arrangements will be upon the same basis as that of last year on the United States steamer Badger." The mat ter has been referred to Adjutant-General Gantenbein. Sentence Remitted. Governor Geer today remitted the un served portion of the sentence of Elmer Scott, who has served six weeks of a six months' term in the Washington County Jail on a conviction of the crime of sodomy. The remission is granted upon the condition that the subscribers to the petition for a pardon will see that, as soon as Scott Is released, he Is placed aboard the s-hJp Asplce. now about to put to sea from Portland. Scott Is IS years old, and arrangements were made at his request to ship him as a seaman. "Will Meet Prone Men. Charles Long, director for Marlon Coun ty of the Cured Fruit Association of the Pacific Northwest, has arranged to visit oeveral of the fruit-producing sections of the county in the Interests of the associa tion. The prosecution of Spring work on their farms kept many of the prune growers from being present at the meet ing a week ago, when a large number of the growers signed contracts. Mr. Long's purpose is to hold local meetings, which the growers of each vicinity may attend without inconvenience to their work. He will be prepared to explain any clauses of the association contract that may not be fully understood, and will glveall growers a chance to sign the contracts. The dates for his meetings are as fol lows: Liberty, May 14, 7:30 P. M.; Rose- dale. May 15, 7:30 P. M.; Jefferson. May 16, -1:30 P. M.; Marion, May 16, 7:30 P. M. Bernard Daly's Caiapaljrn. Hon. Bernard Daly. Democratic nomi nee for Congress from tho Second Dis trict, was In Salem today shaking hands with his friends. Mr. Daly says that owing to the fact that Mr. Tongue will be in "Washington during the campaign, he will not take the stump In his own behalf. "While Mr. Tongue has a great advantage over him in having the aid of Federal appointees, Mr. Daly says he will not take advantage of Mr. Tongue's ab sence. He will make a tour of the larger towns In his district, and meet as many of his Democratic and Populist friends as possible. He started at Oregon City, and will travel south by way of the Southern Pacific Professor J. J. Krapps. who last Satur day accepted a nomination by petition for the office of County School Superintend ent, today filed with the County Clerk a request that his acceptance be canceled. The petition for his nomination was signed almost entirely by Democrats and Populists. Professor Krapps Is- a Repub lican. Indian War Yeteraas' Hot Adilrens. At the last meeting' of the local camp of Indian War Veterans, a resolution was unanimously passed Issuing to the In dian War Veterans and their friends the following address: "In 1SS6, when Colonel T. B. Wait was our first grand encampment, he said In a speech before the grand encampment, that we must organize and get every vote of the veterans and their friends to vote together for our Interest. It Is now Wmmk fill Henry B. Tscker, Oregon pioneer of 1S52, vrho died at Beaverton, Sat Hrday, aged 00. -u SO years since we went to our country's rescue, and what have we received? Com paratively nothing. You should show how many votes we have. Knock somebody down that Is in our way, and then they will want to know what the old fellows want. They think we are dead, or If not dead, we have so little sense that they can fool us a plenty. " 'If the G-and Army of the Republic had not had votes, and used them, would there have been anything said about their patriotism? When a member of Congress is in political accord with the House of Representatives and does nothing for us, see that he stays at home next time; then, and not until then, x will you get what Is Justly your due.' "Though spoken 14 years ago, comrades, we ask you, were not the words of our first grand commander. Colonel T. B. Walt, prophetic' words? Have we re ceived anything, and is there any pros pect that we will ever? Every two years. Just before election, we get a dose off Mr. Tongue's taffy, spread on thick with Col onel Wood's confidential-assurance mop. that in a few months at the farthest we will be looked after to our hearts' con tent. "It is now 44 years that we have been seeking recognition In vain; now let us appeal, to our comrades and friends to stand by us, and go for snide Congress men's scalps. Leave not a stone un turned, nor a vote uncast against those do-nothing Congressmen, who think that with a little taffy Just before election they can fool us until we have all passed Into our graves, and then the future his torian will write, '7000 Indian War veter ans of the Pacific Northwest, within 50 years, all passed Into their graves with out recognition, that very small politi cians might go to Congress.' " May Choral Festival. The May festival of the Willamette Val ley Choral Union will be held In the First Methodist Episcopal Church In this city Wednesday, Thursday and Friday even ings of this week. The purpose of the Choral Union Is to develop the singing In chorus of the masterpieces of music On Thursday evening Mendelssohn's ora torio, "St. Paul.'- will be rendered, and this will be followed on Friday evening by Haydn's "Creation." The soloists will be Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer, of Portland, soprano; Miss Lil lian Roblln, of Salem, contralto; Mr. J. W. Belcher, of Portland, tenor; and Mr. Irvine; M. Glen, of Eugene, basso.

GRAIN SHIPS ARRIVE OUT FIRST OF THE 1900 AND LAST OF 1SS9 FiSET. j y Principality Is Benlnd Her Record D oven By Hall Arrives From Shanghai Sealers' Geed Catca. The German ship Seestern. the last ship to leave the Coiumola River in 1SS9, and the British ship Principality, the first to sail In 1900, both Arrived out together Sat urday. The Principality, which left the Columbia January 1. made the outward run in 125 days, and the Seestern. which left December 31. was accordingly 126 days on -the way. Either of these passages la under the average, but as botn of the vessels are very fast sailers, they were expected to a little better. With the ex ception of the Glenholm. which sailed a day later than the Principality, none of the rest of the January tleet got away be f or the 16th, and between the 20th and the 31st there were 11 of them bunched, so that wc may look for numerous arrivals out within the next few weeks. There are still four December ships from, Portland to be heard from, and five from San Francisco. Puget Sound, as usual, is In the rear, and none of the December fleet from Tacoma or Seattle for Europe has arrived out yet. The fleet from the Pacific Coast to Europe la December In cluded 36 vessels, of which Portland dis patched 15, San Francisco 14. and Seattle and Tacoma four vessels. The January fleet from the Coast for Europe included 27 ships, of Which Portland dispatched 14, San Francisco 12, and Seattle and Tacoma one AMERICAN REGISTRY WASTED. Hawaii Feels the Need of a Free-Ship Bill. WASHINGTON. April 29. In reply to the arguments advanced to Congressman McCleary and others, in opposition to granting American registers to essel9 en gaged in the Hawaiian trade, particularly with reference to vessels in the North Pa cific trade, several answers have been made. These answers have not been made on behalf of the steamer Garonne, which has been given the American flag by a spe cial bill, but with a view to securing leg islation either In the Hawaiian bill or In a special bill for a number of vessels that were glvenMhe Hawaiian flag prior to January 1. 1899. Among this number are the following: Falls of Clyde. Star of Russia, Star of Bengal, Wlllscott, Euterpe, Star of France and Star of Italy. Of this number, all but the Star of Italy and the Star of Bengal were included in the Hawaiian bill when that measure was In the hands of the conference committee, and special bills allowing them an Ameri can register have been considered in both branches of Congress. Since August 12. 1S9S. It Is held that Ha waiian citizens and Hawaiian vessels have become American along with the acqui sition of the territory, and that In foster ing or benefiting the few vessels to be af fected by this legislation. Congress is doing no injury to American shipping, be cause it Is legislating for Its own, and that everyeneflt and assistance that was due the American shipping theretofore should now be gladly and generously given to those coming under the previous laws of Hawaii. It Is claimed the sailing vessels In ques tion were purchased and utilized In, mov ing the crop of 1839, there being mean while a very strong demand for more ves sels to move that crop. Inasmuch as the flag of Hawaii Is no longer recognized upon the sea, that sovereignty having ceased to exist, and now being without any flag save that of the United States, and inasmuch as all these- .vessels are to be used In the Hawaiian trade, and have been practically so used since August 12. 1S9S. American vessels, though not protect ed by Its flag, and only entitled to the flag of the Hawaiian Government, which does not exist. It follows that these vessels, if American registry is refused as asked for, will be left without a flag or the right to do American-Hawaiian business, and are liable to confiscation wherever they may appear. It Is asserted that some method should have been devised at first by which these vessels, having been duly registered under Hawaiian laws, might have the pro tection of the American flag, but that very important provision was overlooked or neglected by the governments and the Ha waiian Commission, hence the necessity of this legislation. MADE A GOOD CATCH. Victoria Sealing- Schooner Will Arcrnse COO Skins. News of the home-coming sealers form ed the most Important feature of the Wll lapa's budget brought from the West Coast yesterday, says the Victoria Colo nist, while the steamer had also aboard 1448 skins (the catches of the Favorite and the Annie E. Paint), and the crew of the latter schooner, who had been left at Clayoquot, after her 739 skins were transferred to the Wlllapa. Captain Mc Lean, of the Favorite, who also came home by the Wlllapa, reports picking up the mast of a sealing boat, with two guns lashed to It, the wreckage, It Is supposed, of one of the Umbrlna's lost boats three In number; The lost boat crew from this schooner Is found to have consisted of two Indian boatmen and a half-breed hunter. Alex McDonald, whose home is at Albernl. Of the fleet now Inward bound, the E. B. Marvin has 654 pelts, the Viva 707, the Umbrlna 70S,' Triumph 450, Dora Sieward 667, and Arletls 70S. The average catch Is 5S9, which will no doubt be Improved upon when the completed totals are obtained. BEHIND HER RECORD. Dovenhy Hall Arrive, Thirty-Seven Days Front Shanghai. Tho British ship Dovenby Hall, which has quite a record for fast passages, arrived In yesterday, after only a moderate run of 37 days from Shanghai. The voyage generally requires about 40 days, but the Dovenby Hall Is such a smart ship that she has been expected for the past week. Several ships are now due at this port, and the list In the river will be material ly swelled before any that are now here As the blood contains all the elements necessary to sustain life, it is impor tant that it be kept free of all impurities, or it becomes a source of disease, potsomne instead of nourishing the body, and loss of health sure to follow. Some poisons enter the blood from without, through the skin by absorption, or inoculation; others from within, as when waste products accumulate in the system aad ferment, allowing disease germs to develop and be taken into the circulation. While all blood troubles have one common origin, each has some peculiarity to distinguish it from the other, rontamnu nirwl Pr.;.n t;.ft,i.

The decision was always the same: "Absolutely pure." As a tonic it is better than all the combinations of drugs that could be compounded. It is not only a stimulant it is a medici nal food, and is recognized as such by physicians. A leading New York doctor said: " Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is a form of food already digested." A bottle in the house will save suffering perhaps life itself.
