BEATS CAP A Sensational Quartz Vein 'Struck in Jackson County. $1600 .WITH MORTAR IN ONE DAY Oa-Ledgre That Had Been. Bonded for $000 Southern Orejjon Ledgres y Comint to the Front. JACKSONVILLE, Or., July 18. Early in the Spring H. B. Nye, a Montana man. came to Southern Oregon to look over the mines and determine for himself what, if anything, there was hero in quartz worthy of development. He spent several months looking over the field, and study ing formations, and In the meantime tried to bond certain properties In suc cessful operation, but failed. Finally he discovered a ledge on Gall's Creek, which had been located by another man, and on which a shaft was sunk a few feet deep to hold It. He bonded the ledge for 5600, and commenced to work on it. After two months' work in running a tunnel along the course of the ledge, he was rewarded last week by striking a pocket or pay chute of remarkable richness. The ore Is literally knitted together with gold, and Mr. Nye, anxious to pay off the bond and secure a deed to the property, occu pied himself with a small hand mortar for a day, and pounded out $1000. He secured title to the property, and since then has taken out $500). and has fully $10,000 more In sight, with no knowledge, of course, of what further development may show. If this strike had been made In the dreary' and desolate regions of the Arctic, the press of the country would have taken it up and heralded it abroad in flaming headlines, and thousands of men would have rushed to the frigid zone at the peril of their lives, assuming, appar ently, that the greater the distance and peril, the greater the possible reward. Here rich discoveries are so common they do not create mucn excitement. Many persons interested in mines and mining have been drawn here in the past year, through the influence of local no tices of the various mining enterprises of the section, and particularly is this the case with those looking after quartz properties. It has taken a long time to dispel v-ie impression, originated in an early day, and persisted in for many years, that this was wholly a pocket country, with the pay all on the surface, and no true-fissure veins carrying ore of uniform value. The proof that the district Is almost a network of true veins, and many of them of great value, is now so overwhelming It Is no longer disputed; and this fact has Induced many quartz men to come In here, and today there are 250 to 400 ledges undergoing development work In the county, and probably 25 quartz mills in operation, with a score or more of arrastras. And yet, so far as the quartz interest is concerned, pros pecting has hardly commenced. That the various sections are capable of intelligent segregation and classifica tion there can be no question. For ex ample, the formation of the Gallce Creek section is largely slate, and the various roagneslan compounds. The vein matter Is mainly hard, splintery quartz, with talc and calcspar. Pyrites of copper and iron abound, and there Is more or less sine blende, barite, lime carbonate, ar senical iron and here anJ there galena. The section lying north of Rogue River and embracing Grave, Wolf, Coyote. Louse and Jump-Off -Joe Creeks is main ly metamorphic slate and quartzlte, with much serpentine and fragmentary breccia. The section as a whole, extending from Rogue River to Cow Creek, might be ap propriately characterized as serpentine, variously tilted, and twisted, and mingled and mixed with an Indefinable pudding stone. The Elk Creek section Is pre-eminently volcanic. Here the overlapping basaltic lavas are everywhere present in various states of decomposition and fineness, with scoria, slag, vltrifactions, pumice, etc There are also unmistakable evidences of widespread glacial morine. The surface rock Is a composite of basalt and basalt and glacial deposit, forming a peculiarly incongruous and Interesting breccia. If such it may bo called, nowhere else met with in the district in such sharp outline and certitude as here. This section has every characteristic of the Bohemia dis trict. The same volcanic Indications are present, the vein matter Is base and of the same general character, the trend of the ledges Is the same, and they are large, like those of Bohemia, The ore is mainly low grade, but rich stratas here and there run inlc the thousands per ton. The wr'ter believes this is destined to be tho leading quartz section in Southern Ore eon r but it will take time and capital to develop It. Bohemia. It will bo remembered, was discovered In 1S58, and while it was be lieved by many to be a district worthy of careful investigation, no showing was made there of any particular consequence until a few years since. It is believed that in live years Southern Oregon will have made such strides In the develop ment of her quartz Industry that her po sition in this respect will be second to no other section in the state. LIVELY EVENING CALL. Nearly 130,000 Shares of Stock Ex changed Hnndit Last Xislit. The Oregon Mining: Stock Exchange held an evening session yesterday at S o'clock, to which women were Invited, and they responded In considerable num bers, filling all of the seats in the gal lery. They evinced much Interest In the call, and at the close visited the main floor, the secretary's office and the Tooms of the Mineowners Club, and altogether saw everything there was to be seen, and said they were glad they came. There wer5nuierous spectators on the lower floor, and a full attendance of brokers. The call was a very spirited one, and 123,000 shares changed hands. The busi ness of the" exchange is progressing most favorably, and from the outlook It will not be long until mining enterprises will be booming In this state. Mine Locators to Be More CarefnI. CHHHALIS. Wash., July IS. The case of, Victor Carlson and A. Hoofer vs. U. M. Lauman and the heirs of J. G. Cop ley, which was decided by Superior Judge Miller at Vancouver a few days ago In favor of the defendants, is resulting In greater care on the part of holders of mining claims in the St. Helens mining district in Lewis and Cowlitz Counties to see that their locations are legally made. The -plaintiffs first discovered the claim and ' put ttp a notice but failed to do their assessment work In the re quired time or properly to complete the lo cation, with the result that the defend ants, who made their location later, have secured the property, which Is one of the most valuable claims in the St. Helens district.

The new Marlon County Court purposes In Inaugurate some new methods in the building of bridges, the object of which is to reduce the cost of bridges by doing more permanent work. County Judge. Scott said today that the recent Inspec tion of bridges discloses that a great sav ing can be effected by making fills at the approaches. Instead of putting In piling and making the approaches of lumber. He finds that In some cases the fills can be made to extend half the length of the bridge. They can be made durable, will not easily get out of repair, and the cost In the first Instance will not exceed the cost of building the bridge over the same space.

There was $300,000 In gold dust on board, besides a large amount in drafts. The majority of the 60 passengers brought large packages of gold some of more weight than one could carry off the boat unaided. There were no very wealthy winners of the yellow metal, but there was a fair dis tribution. The principal news from Dawson is that a dozen cases of smallpox have broken out there.

Whitney, editor of tho Herald, Is a native Oreronlan. Ho was bora in the- Waldo Hills, In Marlon County, May 1. 1S: was graduated from tho University of Oregon in 1884, and began tho newspaper business on tho staff of tho Herald In Albany In the Autumn of that year. He has been ono of the proprietors and editors of the paper con tinuously since that time. Mr. Whitney is Republican State Central Committeeman, for Linn County. The Herald Is recocnlzed as one of the stalwart Republican newspapers of the state. It was feunded in 1878, as a weekly newspaper, and the publication of the dallr Issue was commenced In 1885. of the University of Oregon, arrived to day, and is conducting classes In Spanish American history and kindred topics. President Hawleys lecture was exem plified with maps ana illustrations and significant statistics, and it was a grand appeal for the construction of the canal as a mighty factor in the industrial devel opment of the Northwest. The engineer ing difficulties were made plain by draw ings and maps, and It was explained how easily they could be overcome with the Improved methods of constructing locks, and the use of the channeling machine in cutting through rock. It was made very plain that the plan was feasible, and not beset with serious difficulties. It was shown that the largest sea-going vessels could be taken through the canal in 24 hours, and that vessels loaded with wheat from Portland or San Francisco could make 10 trips yearly to Liverpool, where as only four round trips In three years are made around the Horn. The comple tion of the canal would enable the Pa cific Coast to get its wheat Into market ahead of India or other countries. The speaker estimated that the cost of con struction would be about $100,000,000, and that It would net 3 per cent on the Invest ment from tolls within three years, as 4,000,000 tons of commerce would pass through the canal every year. At pres ent, the average tonnage on wheat Is 25 cents per bushel; with the decreased cost of freight through the canal it would be much less, and the farmer would reap the benefit. The patriotic programme was opened Me lllcee all American Klrta II pretty. Cenon Reyes Fencallro, who came from the Philippines -with the Washington Volunteers, and Manuel Robles, who came home with the Oregon Regiment, are both In attendance at the Chautauqua assembly. Fencallro is half Span ish and halt Filipino; Robles a full-blooded Filipino. Both are about IS years old. They are being educated at the Indian Training School at Chemawa. They And their surround ings there congenial and learn rapidly. Fen callro is a member of the Chemawa Band. Is talkative- and susceptible and very popular with tho girls. Both excite much interest. this afternoon with selections by the Che mawa band, a baritone solo by F. E. Vrooman and National hymns led by the Chautauqua chorus. Company A, Third Regiment, was present In a body, as well as many members of the G. A. R. and Relief Corps; also Spanish war veterans. Congressman Thomas H. Tongue, who spoke for fully an hour, made the open ing address. He scored the wealthy, the educated and all others who shirked the duty of citizenship in unmeasured terms. He paid his respects to the Civil War and the Spanish War veterans, and compli mented them for their patriotism. He also called attention to the Christian mis sionaries in China, who must be protected while obeying the injunction of the Mas ter to go into all the earth. The following extracts are taken from the address: "Yes, there Is a threatening cloud In tho East. It Is not alone in China, yet the wrongs that have been perpetrated in China can be punished adequately only by the most improved weapons of modern warfare In the hands of the most cour ageous and valiant of modern soldiers. But more threatening than China, a dark er cloud than that of the Mongolian, is to the north of China, on the steppes and mountains and plains of Russia. Who knows but the time Is coming, that It is almost here, when modern civilization, the civilization of Europe and of America, the civilization of the Teuton, the Celt, the Saxon, may have to combine for existence against the combined powers of the Cos- OBEGOKIAS, THURSDAY, JUBT 19, 1900. the soldier, not the sermon of the min ister, or the wisdom of the statesman or the culture of the scholar that -will save us from inevitable destruction. When Greece was so civilized that life "be came too precious to be risked on the bat-tlo-fleld, her liberties, her civilization, the lives of her people, her all, were wrested from her by the hosts of Macedonia under tne direction or Philip and Alexander. When Rome was. at the height of her In telligence and wealth of civilization, when art and literature had reached their high- , fore the barbarians of the North, and th self-sacrifice, the highest order of patriot Ism, tho readiness and willingness to die for one's country. "Peace has its dangers as great as those of war. It is In times of peace that fes tering corruption has reached National hearts and sapped National strength. In peace, too often the hero wfro excites en vy and inspires emulation, is he who, by the suppression of every manly instinct and the development of cruel, heartless cunning, has become tho possessor of ill gotten wealth, wrung from the sweat of others' brows. In times of peace, greed too often reigns supreme, dominates the National will and saps the National strength." Congressman Tongue was followed with short addresses by General Owen Sum mers, Mrs. A. S. Dunlway and Dr. Alex Blackburn. An elaborate programme was given this evening under the direction of Musical Di rector W. H. Boyer. There were about 40 voices in the well-trained chorus, and the parts were sustained In an excellent way, receiving enthusiastic applause. The vio lin obllgato by Miss C.

Chicago Brickmakers Compromtite. CHICAGO, July 18,-The executive beards of the Illinois Brick Company, representing practically all the brick man ufacturers in Cook County, and the Brick makers' Alliance have signed a three years' agreement The agreement was a compromise, as the terms give the manu facturers the privilege of hiring whom they please, while the sympathetic strike question remains about as before. The agreement goes Into effect on July 23. It provides for the arbitration of all differ ences by a board composed of three mem bers of the alliance and three manufac turers, the six to choose a seventh. It also provides that in case of difference, work will continue until the arbitration board gives Its decision. The wage scale is practically the same as that in the agreement of 1899. Eight hours constitute a day's work, as In the old agreement. The signing of the agree ment removed the danger of a strike that seemed almost certain.

The British bark Belmont, the- first ves sel of the March grain fleet -from Port land, arrived out at, Queenstdwn yester day after a fair passage of 13S days from Portland. This is -a bad beginning for the. fleet for that month, when com pared with the performances of the ves sels which sailed earlier In the season. The German ship Chile, which is the tallender of the February fleet from Port land, passed Browhead Tuesday, and will undoubtedly be heard from, at Queens town today. This will account for all of the Portland fleet sailing prior to March L except the British ship Ancyra, which put into San Francisco in distress. She was in, collision off the coast of Cali fornia and was detained several weeks undergoing repairs at the Bay City, and will not be duo at .Queenstown before next month. The American ship C S. Bement sailed from the Columbia the same ttiry as the Belmont, but has not yet put in an ap pearance on the other side. SCARCITY OF SAILORS.. Coost-Bonnd Ships Pay HIs;h Wages nt Honolulu. Honolulu papers Just received report the German ship Hera as sailing irom that port for Portland. She has 1E00 tons of cement on board, having discharged only a portion of her Hamburg cargo at Hono lulu. None of the importers of cement in this city have received advices of the vessel coming to Portland, and most of them are of the opinion that the vessel Ma headed for Puget Sound. The Hono lulu Republican has the following notice of tho Hera's departure: "There is a scarcity of sailors along the water front, and the men who are look ing for Jobs are holding out for high wages. Yesterday the German ship Hera got away, after being delayed several days trying to get a crew. A large crowd of the men willing to ship were at the Consul's office yesterday, but they all held out for $25 for the run. The captain objected to paying this, but finally found he could not obtain men for less, and so he came to terms. The vessel came here from Hamburg with a load of cement. Her sailors were engaged for the voyage at the regular rates for deep-water ves sels. When they arrived here and found that coastwise seamen were getting from $30 to $35, the men struck" when thoy were asked to take the Hera to Portland at the rate of wages for wjbich they were employed on leaving Europe. The Hera discharged part of her cargo hore and will take the rest to Oregon. A few months ago, when vessels were arriving here almost dally from Newcastle, there were plenty of sailors. Now there are hut few, so to get crews captains must pay wages far In advance of. any paid from this port before." AIC EXCELLENT NUMBER. Trrenty-fmfc Annual Review of the Commercial News. Tho 25th annual review of the San Francisco Commercial News is at hand, and is by far k the best production that has yet come from the News office. The marina and commercial statistics are complete and compact as usual, and. In addition, there Is a large amount of in teresting descriptive matter, accompanied by fine half-tone cuts of shipping scenes and shipping, men at the various ports between San Diego and Victoria. Presi dent Bates, of the News, visited Portland a few weeks ago, and he records his Im pressions of this city in the followinff language: ""Portland, with a population of up wards of lOO.OOO people, and many subur ban and tributary cities and towns, is the richest and perhaps the most con servative, city on the Coast in proportion to population.

Rough Ex perience on the Atlantic. LISBON, July IS. The New York Nauti cal School ship St. Mary's is undergoing repairs here on account of terrible weather experienced on the passage hith er. The St. Mary's left New London Conn., June 15, with 100 cadets. When three days out she encountered a cyclone, which soon prevented headway, and on Sunday night. June 17, it was necessary to heave to, and so she remained three days. Commander William II. Reeder remained on deck throughout the storm, and was thrown and his head cut and back badly strained. The fourth day the storm abated, when sail was set for the Azores. A reckoning taken showed that the ship had been blown 200 miles out of her course, and that she was then oft the coasjt of Virginia. The wind badly strained all the rigging. The intention was to make the Azores for repairs. There was good weather until Just off Fayal, when another storm set In, and for two days the vessel labored in a heavy sea, attempting to make shore. Finding this was Inadvisable, a course was laid for Lisbon. Off the coast of Spain another storm was encountered and again the St, Mary's hove to for a day and a half. The St. Mary's finally reached Lisbon. 10 days overdue. After making repairs she will start for the Mediterranean. NEW STEEL BARKENTTNB. Fine Vessel Launched nt Port Glas gow for Pacific Coast Trade. Robert Duncan & Co., Port Glasgow, Scotland, launched on May 30 for San Francisco owners tho largest steel four masted barkentlne ever built In the United Kingdom. It is for the lumber trade on the Pacific Coast. The vessel has been named the Alta. The dimen sions are 256 feet over all by 44 feet by 19 feet 6 Inches molded, wljh a carrying capacity of about 1,700,000 feet, board measurement. The masts are of steel and the yards are long. The lower yard Is about 100 feet In length and is also made of steel. It Is a substantial craft, being built under special survey, in ac cordance with British corporation rules. June 22 she left the shipyard for Liverpool, where a general cargo will be loaded for San Francisco. THE "tVHALISG FLEET. Short of Coal nnd Water, hnt So Casualties Reported. SAN FRANCISCO, July 18.
