The majorities against the proposed
amendments appear small in some cases,
but that appearanoa Is due to the large
number of ballots cast that were not
marked as to the amendments. A blank
vote on the amendments counts a "no"
vote, according to the construction here
given, so that while the equal suffrage
amendment, at first thought, seems to be
defeated by only 2137 votes, when the to
tal number of votes cast In the state
shall have been ascertained. It will ap
pear that the amendment has been lost

really beginning this morning with a lec
ture on "The Lights and Shadows of
Mediums." by W, C. Bowman, of Cali

hour allotted to Mrs. George Gladys
Cooley, a Chicago test medium. The
Spiritualists have held these annual
campmcetlngs at New Era for nearly a
quarter of a century, campers and vis
itors being present from every portion
of the Willamette Valley. The grounds are
under the control of the Campmeeting
Association, who conduct a hotel and sell
stand privileges to several dealers in soda
water, cigars, etc This season the camp
meeting is under the immediate control

president, and E. W. Penman, secretary
of the association. Tho lecturerers are paid
salaries for their platsorm work, tho
money being raised for this purpose by a
small admission fee at the gate Form
erly the expense money was raised by
passing around the contribution-box at
the meetings, but the Spiritualists learned
like orthodox church people that too
many of the auditors dodge the issue
when the hat is passed around. The at
tendance was good this morning for a
first-day meeting.

A GOPHER DID IT.
Bnrroim a. Role and Tarnk the Water
Company's Ditch Into the Fields.
Yakima Republic.
Last Sunday night the ditch of tho
Water fc Light Company broke banks
about half a mile above the power-house
and flooded the surrounding fields.
tThe break was caused by a gopher bur
rowing through the bank and giving the
confined waters a start. The accident
was discovered about 2 o'clock In the
morning, and Manager AI Whltsoa was
notified. He was soon on the scene, but
even after the distant headgate was
closed enough water passed through the
breach to cause considerable damage.
The liberated torrent crossed James
Fletcher's orchard, filled his well, killed
125 chickens, soaked his haystacks, then
crossed the road and did a yariety of
damaging things to the places of Charles
Nelson, William Mclvor and E. Happy.
It will cost the company between 5300
and 400 to repair the ditch. The men
who suffered by the break estimated their
collective damages at $1500. Monday af
ternoon they had a party, consisting of R.
A. Grant, Nels Short. G. H. Moulton and
I Zenovltch. view the land for the pur
pose of appraising the losses. Mr. Moul
ton stated that ho thought the wash-out
perhaps damaged crops to the extent of
5750 or J600.
Ret Spring in. Caacade Reserve.
ALBANY. Or., June 24. J. A. Warner
and W. N. Miller, of this city, returned
last night from the hot springs 14 miles
i beyond Detroit, where they had been. to
survey for the Government a section
around the spring property. This is in
the Government reserve. A few years
ago. Just before the rserre was made, a
claim was taken up by Clyde Mansfield,
of this city, covering a large number of
hot springs, which have proved to be
of sufficient value to create interest in
the place as a resort. A trail has been
made from Detroit to the springs, and
already there are about 50 people there to
secure the benefit of the hot water In
mud and other baths. Eggs and rice are
easily cooked in the water. With modern
improvements It is thought the springs
would be as valuable for -Health purposes
as any In California. A few weeks ago
a man was carried to the springs, 'being
too helpless to walk. In a short time
he was one of the most active persons
there. Many like cases are told. It of
fers an opening for one of the prominent
mountain resorts of the coast when prop
erly Improved.

A CAUSE OF TROJ0BLE.
Railroad, and Telesrapb , Balldlng:
Rave Alarmed the Chinese.
"WASHINGTON, June 24. Tejegraphs
and railways appear to be among the
causes of the anti-foreign riots now in
progress In China. The development of
this feature of modern enterprise In China
Is described In conslderanlndetall In a re
cent publication of the Treasury. Bureau
of Statistics, entitled "Commercial China
in 1899." It shows that the telegraph sys
tem of China Included In 1899 about 2000
miles of line In operation, and that the
railroad system included 0 miles of road
In active operation and over 2000 miles of
pro3ected. The telegraph system con
nected an of the capitals of the provinces
with the national capital, Pekin, and in
turn connected with the Russian trans
Slberlarr telegraph line and the ocean
cables: but it appears from the recent
reports that those lines have in many
cases been destroyed by the. anti-foreign
mobs and armies.
The railways thus far constructed be
long to the Chinese Government, and were
constructed under its control and direc
tion and at its expense. They connect
Pekln, the capital, with Tien- Tain, which
lies at the head of the Gulf of Pe Chi LI,
and Is the seaport of , Pekfn, while
other lines run northwardly from Tien
Tsln to Shan Hal Kwan, nnd still others
extend southwardly from lekin as far as
Poa Ting, the capital of ne .Province of
ChlXJ, in which Pekin is located. From
that point southward a railway was be
ing constructed in 189s bjy Belgian cap
ital, though It was suspected that Rus
sian" influence and perbapq Juseian cap
ital was associated in this jpork. This
line Tas expected to extend, to Hankow,
which may be described as the Chicago
of China, being its best afl'd largest and
most, prosperous inland commercial city,
located 500 miles up the "Sangtso Klang
from Shanghai, which lies i at the 'mouth
of that river. "Hankow Is a city of nearly
3,000,000 Inhabitants, and itrwas expected
that the Belgian line would connect Pe
kln, ,whlch lies "well at the, north, with
with Hankow, located nejuf 'the center,
and that an American nnef would extend
still further south from Hankuw to Can
ton and Hong Kong.
The American line waa surveyed by a
corps of engineers under W. BV Parsons,
of -New York, in 1893 and '189 under a
concession granted by the, Chinese Gov
ernment to Calvin Brlce, ugh J. Grant,
Thurlow Weed. Barnes aniC pthers, and
this'llnel like all others for which con
cessions havo been granted;' was after a
term of years to become" the property of
the Chinese Government. 1$ was expect
ed that this American line, running from
Hong Kong and Canton ndrthward to
Hankow and connecting fLt that point
with the Belgian line which would ex
tend ,to Pekln, would form ah extremely
Important artery of internal commerce
from China's most impor,tan southern
city. Canton, and Its most .Important cen
tral city, Hankow, and thence to Its cap
ital at the north, Pekin, front which point
it wouia connect with the Russian rail
way system which enters Chlha4ln Man
churiaat tho extreme north!
Numerous other railways, hayo been sur
veyed and some of them wfre, under con
struction. The German Government has
been encouraging the construction of rail
ways in the Province of -Shantung, In
Which Its port of Klao ChaU, is located,
while concessions to British, companies
authorize the construction of lines along
a large share of the eastern coast and
extending" up the valley of the West River
to the borders of Burmah, where it was
expected they would finally connect with
the railway system of India.
The railways projected in China and for
which concessions had been granted con
templated a length of more than 3000
miles, and It was confidently expected
that their construction would bring tho
trans-Siberian system of Asiatic Russia
into touch with the trans-Indian system
of British India, which in turn would
finally, connect with the railway systems
of Southern Europe, and thus give to the

fHE SUMPTER DISTRICT
RICH GOLD STRIKE MADE IN THE
SC3IPTER GROUP.
Immense Lede With Nnmerous
Quartz Stringers Snow Ah oat
Gone Prospectors Coming;.
SUMPTER, June 22o-Th snow is about
out of the Greenhorns, and prospectors are
flocking In. Many locations are being
made, and some strikes are reported, but
time will be necessary to verify these ru
mors. Colonel F. V. Drake, of Portland, who
is operating some claims In the Sparta
district, la at present Inspecting the Stras
burg group, on Olive Creek, In which he
Is Interested. While the Colonel is an
ardent advocate of free silver, he Is par
tial to gold-bearing ores, and prefers them
free.
John J. Penhole, of Sherbrooke, Canada,
has made the final payment of $30,000 for
the purchase of the Bunker Hill mine. The
people of Eastern Canada are gradually
acquiring a footing here. Mr. Penhole re
turned East with the deed, but will be
back In a few weeks with several capital
ists seeking investments. Mr. Penhole Is
superintendent of the Bonanza West, ad
Joining the Bonanza.
The event of the week is the rich ore
encountered In the cross-cut tunnel being
run on the Umpqua group, situated four
miles from. Sumpter, on the Ibex road, be
tween McCulIough Fork and O'Farrell
Gulch. When In 220 feet Cha ledcra wns rut
and a sample of blue black ore, similar in
appearance to that of tho Golconda and
Columbia, average across, assayed $24S4S
In gold. The ledgo has. been cut seven feet,
and there Is no sign of the wall yet. As
the surface Bhowing is very strong, about
20 feet, it Is thought at least 30 feet of
a ledge will bo encountered. Two other
ledges were cut wtth the tunnel, one show
ing values of $5 to $S and the other $27 33.
The whole formation Is highly mineralized
and streaked with quartz stringer. The
surface values In this property are low,
seldonr showing more than a trace; one
assay, however, going $7 40, fumlshss an
other proof that -values increase with
depth! The tunnel cut the ledge at a
depth of 175 feet.
This rich plum, was plucked by Messrs.
H. W. Miller an J. a Aiken, of Rose
burg. James Dreiman and W. F. Burlleen
were owners of the claim, and endeavored
to Interest local capital, but without suc
cess; and It was presented to Miller &
Aiken, who made a thorough eramlnatlon
and accepted tho property on March 20,
1900, since which time work has been
pushed day and night. The group orig
inally consisted of the Gold Hill, Grand
Prizo and American. A few weeks ago
they purchased tho Chance from M. F"
Blodgett, and added It to the now famous
group.
There Is an abundant nt im)w
good water power at hand, but the ore
will probably bo treated at the smelter
as It is a down-grade over good roads and
the character of the ore will give a low
rato for. treatment. The other claims will
bo opened up at once, so the extent and
vahie of the property can be determined.
j.ne iorxunaxe owners will be rewarded
OTrer a thousand fold for their Investment.
This property is only a short distance from
the Ibex. Bald Mountain, Grand Trunk
and .other promising properties.
An Illustration was furnished this week
of the proneness of men to seek the inac
cessible portions of the world for riches.
While golden treasures are lying un
touched at their doors. An Alaska pros
pector, Mr. J. H. Bush, told of an im
mensely rich creek bed he had accidental
ly found In Alaska, while trying to escape
from a severe storm. His story was well
told, and little effort was required to se
cure more money than he asked to pilot
a crowd to the frozen. Klondike. His
efforts met with such success that he con
cluded he had placed his price too low,
got he raised It $500, which was more than
the subscribers would stand, and the deal
was declared, off. Approach these men
for money to develop a local prospect, and
you are met with an ley stare.
While this is today a quartz district,
there are several good placer properties
being worked. Mlnot Austin reports a
rich clean-up from his placers near Bo
nanza, one pan from bedrock yielded $24.
Of course, this was after the dirt had
been washed off. This property was pur
chased last Spring for $15,000, and enough
has already been taka out to more than
pay for the property. It is estimated'
there Is still $100,000 In tne ground. There
are other good placers, but returns from
their clean-ups havo not been received.
Tho smelter was not started this week,
as expected, the delay being caused by
lack of ore to work on. Several loads of
ore were hauled In by Sam Hayes from
his Quartzburg property. Two tons came
from Huston & Houser's Copper King,
near Quartzburg, and four carloads were
received from the Copper Butte property,
near Baker City. The facilities for
hauling ore are limited, and the prices
asked simply prohibitive. This, however,
will be adjusted in time soon as It be
comes known there is a demand for freight
outfits. The smelter Is laying in a supply
of lime rockifrom its mine, also iron ore,
to be used as fluxes. Mr. Laughlln states
that he expects to start the smelter about
the first of July, believing that by that
date a supply of ore will be on band
Onion Creek, V& miles southwest of the
13)ex, Is conring' to the front again. In
early days the bed of the creek was
placered and returned good money for the
work. When the washing was stopped a
prominent ledge was disclosed, but re
mained Idle until lost FalL when it was
discovered by Gay Reeder, an experienced
prospector from the Kootenai Lake, B. C,
who located the first claim In the Ains
worth, B. C. district.
There are three groups of claims on thls
creek. The Blue Bell Mining Company, of
Spokane, owns two claims at the bead
of tho creek, on which only location work
has been done. J. Vandorn. of the com
pany, has purchased an outfit and supplies
and work was started this week to open
up the property under the superlntendency
of Mr. Reeder. They will cross-cut to the
ledge, then follow the ore.
The La Grande Mining Company, owning
adjoining property, has ordered a pump
and hoist for further development work.
J. Herrin, formerly of Republic, is in
charge of the work. They have shafts
down 30 and 20 feet on the ledge, showing
20 feet of high-grade ore.
The Cumberland Mining Company is also
arranging to develop its property. At
present It is thoroughly prospecting the
surface to ascertain where work can be
done to best advantage.
While sinking Is the mode followed in
mo3t mining sections to open prospects,
it is rare here and only done by experi
enced mining men from other sections.
In no other portion of this country is
there greater activity than on Congo
Creek. The first property Is the Rd Boy,
where the stamp mill and cyanide plant
are kept running night and day, while
development work is being pashed and
preparations made for deep mining. The
Concorn. adjoining the Red Boy, Is being
thoroughly explored by tunneling, cross
cuts and drifts. The dump shows some
fine ore. The Chelan group is the next
up the creek, where W. E. Hurd. of Port
land, is superintending work for himself
and Eastern capitalists. Mr. Hurd stated
that when they took up the property one
year ago, there was little work done; to
day they have two crews at work. On
the Chelan claim there is some 700 feet of
tunnel work. In this a six-foot and a 40
foot ledge were encountered, and the tun
nel is now being driven Into the hill to
tap another ledge. The 40-foot ledge has
been drifted In 150 feet. On the Bailey
there Is a 100-foot tunnel; on the Golden
Eagle,, 325, and on ttie Philadelphia and
Nora, 50 and 60 feet of tunnel work.
Drs. Cornelius and Littlefidd. with Mr.
Hurd. have several claims further up on
the hill, where work Is being done on the
Orphan. Boy, a tunnel being in 100 feet.
Dr. Cornelius is at the property looking
after the work, and enjoying an outing
in the beautiful Greenhorns.
Joseph McKee and W. E. Hurd are de
veloping the Silver Crown and Fourth of
July claims In the Greenhorn Mountains,
near Olive Lake. Mr. McKea 13 at the
claims, and Mr, Hurd is procuring sup
plies for the Summer work. Mr. Hurd
says, at present they have only prospects,
but the showing Is good, the ledges are
large, and values good, and they got an
assay of $69 from an average sample of
ore.
J. H. Hubbard took out an outfit this
week for a season's work on the Dewey,
In which R. B. Knapp, also of Portland,

WORTHY OF DAVID HARUM.
A Rlt otSnrnp Trnainsr Wlilr'a Toole
Place in the South.
Memphis Commercial.
David Harum was a good horse-trader,
but a recent transaction in horse flesh
which was made by a well-known Mem
phlan shows that there are others who
know how to get the long end of a horse
trade. Several weeks ago this Memphis
man saw a fine bugy horse which he
thought he wanted. He located the owner
and asked the price. "One fifty," was the
reply. After looking the animal over
closely and trying her speed he conclud
ed It was a good trade and without
more ado wrote a check for the amount.
The next day he found that the mare
was as blind as a bat. but this did not
hinder her speed nor detract from her
general appearance. He drove the animal
for several weeks and succeeded In at
tracting the admiration of another lover
of horse flesh, who mado a proposal to
purchase.
"Well," said the Memphlan, "I gave
one fifty for her, but I will let you have
her for one sixty-five."
The prospective owner looked fee ani
mal over and concluded he had a bar-
frain. He naid over tho money and took
the mare. When the animal was unhar-
nessed the first thin? she did was to
run against a post, and then, by way of
emphasizing the fact that she was blind, a point indicated by a roush stone monu
fell over a barrel. The next day the ment still standing neat Newton. From ,
buyer came back to the Memphlan with
blood In his eye.
"Colonel, you know the mare you sola
me?" he began. "Well, she's stone
blind."
"I know It," replied the colonel, with
an easy air.
"You didn't say anything to mo about
It," said the purchaser, his face redden
ing with anger.
"Well, I'll tell you," replied the col
onel: "that fellow who sold her to me
didn't tell me about it, and I Just con
cluded that he didn't want it known."
