8 TEffi MOBNISTG OBBGONIA27, HONDA?, JULY 30, 1&007 MINING STOCK EXCHANGE ITS WORK II? IRTERESTIXQ OAPI , TAIi IX OREGON PROPERTIES. Sales of Minlnc Stocks Are More Than Gratifying; Rallronds and Smelter for Portland. Tho Oregron Mining Stock Exchange, tin ker tha most careful management of the directors, and Its officers, Is meeting with unexpected success. The hour for call has been changed several times, In order to accommodate the public. A -well-governed exchange with a live board of brokers is an established fact right now In Port land, and can be testified to by ladies and gentlemen in great numbers having found it convenient to visit the exchange during call hour. Xn order to get the quotations tele graphed East and answers the same day, fttvlng to difference in time there and here, the established hour for the morn ing call Is 10.30 o'clock. Only one call a day will probably be had during the Summer months, but indications are that an afternoon call will be necessary by early Fall. In addition to the active brok ers who have come to Portland on ac count of the organization of the ex change, some of Portland's firms are catching on rapidly, and all are pulling together, In advertising Oregon as a min ing state, and Portland, the center. Sev eral thousand letters are being sent out monthly, relative to Oregon's mining dis tricts, each lot relative to Its own sec jlori", but they all say Oregon, and are sent from Portland. In speaking of a smelter for Portland, It Is most certain the railroads to a certain extent hold the key to the situ ation, but they are more than willing to do their part. "What Is needed most Is encouragement In opening up the mining (country so that men who build smelters can be encouraged to cast their lot In Oregon. All that Is required Is a unanl jnity of action and a harmonious pulL Eastern Oregon, with Its Baker City, 'Sumpter, Granite, Lawton, Canyon City, Quaftzburg and Prairie City districts; Southern Oregon, with its Grant's Pass and Gold Hill districts, Bohemia and Blue Blver district, all are willing to contrib ute. Portland needed a mining exchange It has one; and those connected with it and Its friends are on a steady pull for the next great need, a smelter. The sales of the Oregon Mining Stock Exchange are more than gratifying, and. considering that this Is the heated sea son, some of the earlier exchanges on the Coast might boast if they could report as much business. The quotations are all genuine. Any broker on the Exchange will buy or sell any stock, at the highest or lowest figure obtainable, at any call. The stocks listed on the Exchange are brokers' stock In trade, for they buy and sell, charging the regular commission. If advice Is wanted, no doubt any of them would give It freely, but they are gentlemen looking for a clientage, and cannot afford to ad vise to the detriment of those seeking advice from them. The sixth week on the Oregon Mining Stock Exchange closes with a business footing towards 500,000 shares sold for the week. The attached compared statement, com paring quotations, commencing at the first call, June 18, Including present quo tations, shows healthy Improvement In nearly all stocks and advanced activity: fir ; oj, 2."

PORTLAND, Or., July SO Trading on the exchange was somewhat lighter the past week than during the week previous, although prices were steady and In some instances showed an advance. The latter fact is one of encouragement, showing as it does, that the public sentiment is one of buying rather than selling. This reeling, we believe, is more than war ranted when the excellent showing of some of the Oregon gold mines is taken Into consideration. These mines have, to some extent, been overlooked by Investors before the advent of the Oregon Mining Stock Exchange, which organization is pro Ing to be of inestimable value to both the mlneownera and the general public Grizzly made its appearance on the board the past week, and met with con siderable favor, closing at 3 cents bid. Buffalo shares sold off somewhat from the figures of the week before. Oregon-Colorado was somewhat off from the opening of Monday and trading In this stock was light. Mountain View closed at the same fig ure It opened, with light sales. Lost Horse was rather more active than In the past, closing somewhat high er than last week. Helena, Helena No. 2 and May Queen, while closing at about the prices they oponed on Monday, led the market in number of shares traded in. Helena advanced to 31 cents bid at the Inco tVifc Hlnc on oHvtinpo o L fAY from' the quotation of Monday and Tues- day, at which time the stock selling was "" uwuia. xne -lerrjiory oi ua to participate In the dividend of the 25th.

The fact .that !?"- ."? ,a"eF hing been organized Helena did not take this decline, hut on the other hand advanced In price, is evi dence that the shares are meeting with still .greater public favor. The continued reports of rich strikes In Bohemia and around Grant's Pass sent In almost dally by the representatives of the local dally papers stationed through out these sections, have without doubt Been tne primary cause lor the demand j for shares in companies whose proper ties are located In either of the above named districts. It- the present Increase In demand continues, we look ,for con siderable higher prices In the shares of all companies whose property possesses real merit. We desire to call the attention of in vestors to an error that is occasionally made In stock bujlng, I. e., that of pur chasing the shares of a company whose stock Is regularly traded In on the ex change through a nonmember (curb broker), or at the head office of the com pany. In this class of dealing, the in vestor has no assurance that he is buy ing at the market, and likewise has no guarantee that he will receive the mar ket price when he desires to sell. To be sure of market prices, in both buying and selling, do your business through a responsible house, and have It done on the open -floor of the exchange, where the market Is made. CT1TC DASIrUftinV 8 IMC 3 DUUnUAlU LlnL IT HAS BEEN RE-ESTABIiISHED BE TWEEN IDAHO AND MONTANA. Ninety-two Stone and Iron "Monu ments Have Been Erected Alans' the Crest of the Bitter Roots. A bulletin has been Issued from the In terior Department covering the report of the Engineers who have recently com pleted the work of re-establishing the boundary line between Idaho and Mon tana. An appropriation for the work was made in June, 1S97, and soon after that date Engineers were sent to tho field. The survey was completed In 1S99, and final reports were made to the Govern ment in February, 1S00. Ninety-two stone and iron monuments were used along the mcridlanal portion of the line. In con nection with the work of re-establishing the boundary the report says: The stone monuments are of granite, six feet In length and ten Inches square, undressed, except for spaces sufficient to permit cutting the -words "Idaho" and "Montana" on opposite sides. These monuments are placed In the more prom inent localities, and are monolithic In all cases where It was possible to transport them In one mass to the proper position; otherwise they were cut into 10 sections, so that they could be carried on pack mules, and were bolted and cemented to gether when established In place. The iron monuments are hollow posts of wrought Iron, six feet In length and four feet In outer diameter, covered with a coat of asphaltum tan At the bottom they aro flared to a width of 12 inches, to insure more secure planting. These posts are set to a depth of three feet below the surface of the ground, three feet re maining above ground, and a conical mound of earth being raised around them to a height of two feet On the tops of the posts are riveted bronze caps, on which is cut appropriate lettering, and the number of the monument and the dis tance. In miles, from the international boundory are stamped In large figures. In addition to the four stone monuments placeL sltes for the m0numents were chogen wlth reference to tho toDQ. rererrea to, S3 iron monuments were were chosen with reference to tho topo graphic features of the country, instead of being placed at even miles, as has usually been the custom on boundary Hne3, but there are few Intervals greater than a mile "between the monuments, the average Interval being about three-fourths of a mile. They were placed generally on summits, or near streams, roads or trails, and so as to be lntervislble when possible. Between the monuments the line Is thoroughly out out and adjacent trees are blazed, so that It can be readily recognized In any locality. Previous to the work herein referred to no attempt had ever been made to lo cate and mark the Idaho-Montana boun dary line, but the engineers of the North ern Pacific and Great Northern Railways had estimated the points at which it crossed their tracks and established marks according to thl3 estimation. The accepted crossing on the Northern Pacific was found to be about one-fourth of a mile west of the true line, and that of the Great Northern about one mile east of the true line along the railroad track, but oply about a half mile east thereof in direct longitude. Kootenai County, Idaho, spent a considerable sum of money In grading a road up the mountain from Lconla toward Sylvanlte. which, when the boundary line was located, soon after, was found to be In Flathead County, Montana. Territorial and state lines In the North western portion of the United States have undergone many changes. Originally this area was included partly In Louisiana and partly In Oregon, the dividing line being the crest of the Rocky Mountains. Oregon Territory was organized, August 14, 1848. Its area at that time Included the present States of Oregon, Washington and Idaho and portions of Wyoming and Montana. The Territory of Nebraska, formed from a portion of the Louisiana Purchase, was organized May 30, 1S54. Its original area extended from Minnesota on tho east to the continental watershed on the west, and Included the existing State of, Nebraska and portions of Colo- i rad,0'e WK..in,5, Mntana. Nrth Dakota ' -'arh Z, 1&3, from a portion of the Ter ritory of Orecron. Orifrfnally. Idaho con talned about 324.875 square miles, but In lS&t It xvas reduced 146.OS0 square miles by the formation of the Territory of Mon tana, -which was taken entirely from Ida ho, and In 1S68 It was further reduced by the formation of the Territory of Wyo ming:, almost the whole of which (93 9$5 square miles) was taken from Idaho. Montana today stands as originally or ganized, while Idaho contains about 84,800 square miles. SAVED TJY HIS BICYCLE. Dr. E. A. McAlllKter'H Jfnrro-rr Escape From DroTrninar In Ten-aille Creek.

But they all of them agree that Bryan is quite out of the question. There Is no reason to doubt that they represent the independent vote of the country. Some few of the Gold Democrats have an nounced their lnteltlon of supporting Bryan, and he may get the votes of a few of the more rabid anti-Imperialists.
