COAL OF NEHALEM
Mineral on Lower Bay Supe
rior to the Upper.
EBULT OF RECENT EXPERIMENTS
Why Eflorta to Build a Railroad to
the Upper Fields Had to Be
Abandoned.
Tha report on the coal deposits of the
Nehalem region published in The Orego
nian ot August 21. was from the United
States Geological Surveys, and was made
by Professor DIHer, from 1895, the la3t
official report on this subject. Several
valuable coal discoveries have been made
in that region since. Professor Diller
found only one coal vein of 22 inches in
the Lower Nehalem coal bed.
C. F. Pearson informs The Oregonlan
that in 1S96 he opened up another vein
of 40 Inches and drilled through a four
foot, 9-inch rein of coal of superior qual
ity. He says:
"A well-known mining engineer of good
repute from "Washington has examined
these localities carefully and made a
conservative estimate on the amount of
coal to be mined on a 1000-acre tract,
which he estimates to be 10,000.000 short
tons, which can be carried away either by
sea or railway. If by railway, $0 miles to
Portland, if by 8ea to San Francisco, 600
miles, as against 850 miles from San Fran
cisco to Seattle.
Tho difference between the upper and
lower Nehalem coal Is that the lower
Nehalem coal does not disintegrate by
exposure to the elements and It contains
very little sulphur, if any, and, being
high in fixed carbon and low in mois
ture and ash, makes it a very desirable
coal for all economical purposes.
"The United State Geological Surveyor
says the quality of the coal Is good.
This statement he failed to give on the
npp.er Nehalem coal. That this state
ment Is true, separate analyses from New
York, Chicago, San Francisco and Port
land demonstrate. These analyses aver
age as follows: Fixed carbon, 53.20 per
cent; combustible gates, 30.30 per cent;
water, 13.80 per cent; ash, 2.50 per cent."
A correspondent, who has Interests in
the timber and mines of the Nehalem,
suggests that the report of the expert
sent by the Chamber of Commerce to
spend "one week" in examining the coal
beds of that region cannot be of much
value, although his report enumerates
many localities visited.
Ho says the exposed coal veins of the
Nehalem Valley cannot be mined profit
ably of themselves, and they only Indi
cate the possibility of better quality and
larger veins being found at lower levels.
He' suggests that a few Interested per
sons meet and Incorporate a company
with sufficient capital to cover the cost
of borings with diamond drills, and the
cores secured will demonstrate whether
working operations will pay or not.
Such borings of course should be made
under the direction and supervision of a
ckllled person of established reputation,
whose judgment would be final, whether
favorable or unfavorable. If they were
satisfactory, capital could readily bo se
cured to develop the mines.
In this connection. "William Reld writes
to The Oregonlan:
"Referring to your well-timed editorial
as to the coal of the Nehalem. in which
you say information should be procured
thoreon. pardon me offering my experi
ence. No man would be more financially
benefited than I if the coals of the upper
Nohalem should prove a. success, because
no other individual has spent so much
money and labor as I did upon Its devel
opment. But, although promised by in
fluential capitalists twice, (after my re
turn to Oregon last year) the money to
build a 4G-mlle railway direct from Port
land to these, coal beds (If proved a suc
cess'), the -project bad to be abandoned
after considerable money previously spent
on railroad surveys thereto. "Why? Be
cause of the great preponderance of sul
phur I per cent therein against 14 of 1
per oent sulphur In Scotch coal. This wast
found (4 per cent) by three separate tests
one at the United States Geological Sur
vey Office, "Washington (see report for
1SS6; second, another made at the Min
ing fnlvcrslty, Glasgow, Scotland, last
year, and a third made at the coal mines
of Lancashire, in England, also in 1S99.
"The upper Nehalem coal veins are
very large 6 to 9 feet and the quantity
there is boyond any question, but, on ac
count of the poor quality and sulphur
predominating, these coals would not re
pev the cost of mining, placing In the
railroad cars and transportation to Port
land. "We tried an American patent pro
cess to take the sulphur out, which re
quired throo and one-half tons ot coal
to make one ton of coke, and the cost
was enormous.
"Two months aso I examined at lower
Nohalm Bay a much superior coal to
anything else on Puget Sound, with only
3i "per ooat sulphur, requiring a railway
of J miles to carry It to Portland, but
as F L McKenna. the representative of
the Portland Board of Trade, also ex
amined that Nehalem Bay coal last week.
I will leave him to say whether it is
worthy of closer investigation."

WANT TO TRADE HERE.
Coos Bay People Need a Railroad or
Better Steamer Service.
J. O. Bingham, who has been connected
with the Beaver Coal Company, at
Marshfleld for the past three years, is
at the Imperial, accompanied by his
family. He thinks Coos County Is suf
fering for lack of close communication
with Portland, and that this city is also
losing considerable trade that really be
longs here by neglecting to take ad
vantage of Its opportunities. "The people
of Coos," Mr. Bingham said yesterday,
"prefer to deal in Portland Instead of
San Francisco, but the latter city has
three steamers a week plying along tho
Oregon Coast, while Portland has one
every three weeks. Time, distance and
political affiliations are in Portland's
faVor, but better means of transit have
thus far developed the trade with Cal
ifornia. "Of course, San Francisco takes all
Coos County's coal and lumber, and so
fruit and dairy products go with It, but
if Portland had a weekly line of steamers
to Marshfleld she would supply the coast
merchants with all they need, even though
the bulk of Coos County's products
should continue to go southward. Unless,
however, Portland bestirs herself to se
cure tho trade, it will continue to go to
San Francisco, because tho railroad
from Marshfleld to Myrtle Point and the
coal mines are owned by San Francisco
people, who have no interest in Port
land. Should the railroad be extended
from Myrtle Point to Roseburg, as sur
veyed, this city would then regain the
bulk of the trade, because Coos County
would be one day nearer Portland than
San Francisco, and orders could be filled
more quickly and at less expense by Port
land merchants."
Coos County coal, he says, can be laid
down In Portland by tho cargo at 54 a
ton, and nut coal or screenings for 53.
This coal Is lignite, very clean to handle,
and would be cheaper than wood for
heating and steam-making, but would not
do for welding. San 'Francisco uses a
great deal of this coal, but the supply is
Inexhaustible. The principal obstacle In
tho way of Its use here, he thinks, would
bo the trifling expense of changing the
burners from wood to coal.
The main mines of Coos County are,
however, shut down for the present, ow
ing to litigation between J. H. Graham,
the former owner, and J. D. and Adolph
Spreckels, of San Francisco. But one
mine is now in operation, that of the
California & Oregon, which employs
about 300 men, 12 miles southeast of
Marshfleld. Tills mine, however, does
not benefit Marshfleld very much, as
Goodall, Perkins & Co., the owners, mo
nopolize all the trado of the hands, hav
ing company stores to supply everything
that is needed. A gravity tramway from
tho mine enables tho easy shipment of
coal from the mquth of the tunnel to
tho hatches of the vessels lying at Marsh
fleld's docks.
During his three years' stay at Marsh
fleld. Mr. Bingham found It a very pleas
ant place to live. The climate Is delight
ful, both "Winter and Summer, while
hunting, fishing and sailing can be en
joyed during tho greater portion of the
year. "Its isolation Is all that works
against it," he said, "as we have to wait
two days to obtain the Portland papers
and three days for those from San Fran
cisco. A telegraph and telephone, how
ever, are in operation, and we can hear
directly from the Oregon metropolis on
special occasions." Mr. Bingham and
family will not return to Coos County,
but will make their permanent abode In
Portland, where Mr. Bingham is well
known as a former resident.

OUR TROUF IN ENGLAND
ENTHUSIASTIC PRAISE FOR THE
BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW. .
New Animals in Old Countries The
Carp a Pent in the Enst, ns Well
as in. Oregon.
In connection with the introduction Into
Oregon of the Mongolian pheasant, the
English partridge, the British spariow,
the skylark, staning and various thrushes,
nnches, etc., in the way of birds, and
the shad, carp, catfish and black bass
in the way of fish, an article in the Quar
terly Review for July entitled, "New
Creatures for Old Countries," will be of
Interest to many. The writer says:
"Animal acclimatization in Europe Is
now mainly sentimental or Is carried out
in the Interests of sport or the pictur
esque. It does not pay and is not prac
tical to Import and adopt foreign creat
ures which rarely have the qualities we
seek ready made. It may be possible to
find a few more birds which would at
onco take a place among our domestic
poultry, but n the 70 years since the
Royal Zoological Society Was founded
'to promote the permanent domestication
of animals which might become of value
to man," practically only one wild species
the ostrich has been reclaimed and ac
climatized with commercial success.
"Experiments in introducing wild ani
mals for pleasure or sport have of late
been made on a scale never before at
tempted and with surprising results.
Some 14 species of foreign deer, wild an
telopes, gazelles, kangaroos, wild sheep,
Japanese apes, beavers, bison, zebras,
brilliant pheasants from India and China,
water birds and Oriental partridges.
American trout and char and American
rodents, as prairie dogs and cavles, are
now living In France or England in a
wild and natural state."
A description of several parks or "par
adises" into which foreign animals have
been successfully introduced on a large
scale follows, the largest existing collec
tion being that of the Duke of Bedford
at Woburn Abbey. Nearly every species
of deer, except tho reindeer, which cannot
exist in English parks, are to be found at
"Woburn. Great, too, Is the collection of
birds, swans, pheasants, wild turkeys and
geese, and many other rare and beautiful
birds.
The writer goes on to say that the chief
aim of acclimatization Is not to substi
tute a foreign animal for an equally sat
isfactory native one, but where and If it
Is possible to fill up gaps In the home
supply by good things from elsewhere.
Another object Is to replace an Inferior
native species by something lncontestabiy
better from abroad, but natural selection
does its work so thoroughly that this Is
rarely possible.
"The nearest approximation to a real
Improvement on theso lines ever made in
England," says the writer, "is quite re
cent, and so promising that it may now
bo fairly regarded as out of the trial
stage. The new arrival Is a flsh the
rainbow trout. It has a pretty name
and a not less beautiful appearance. On
the strength of "handsome Is that hand
some does,' it deserves every word of
praise that can bo found In the diction
ary." The writer of the article is evidently an
enthusiastic fisherman, for he devotes
more space to the rainbow trout than to
any other animal mentioned In his effort
to exhaust the merits of this beautiful
native of the Pacific Coast streams.
"It Is hatched in millions yearly In that
country- The best managed hatcheries
aro mainly dovoted to its production. -The
United States Fishery Commission first
discovered and appreciated the excel
lences which make this flsh the 'universal
trout,' or something very like it, for all
temperate waters."
Then follows a glowing description of
the flsh and a comparison with the native
brown trout, which It Is not intended
to supplant, but to supplement. In con- j
eluding, the writer says: "Clearly this Is
a flsh everyone would like to possess.
The flesh In condition is a flno pink. By
good luck Its habits are such as to make
It welcome to those on whose wishes its
continuance depends. In the first place,
It Is very fond of eating, or, as fishermen
say, a 'free riser.' Whatever the weather
may be, rainbow trout are always or
nearly always hungry. "When they are
falr-slscd fry they are equally voracious,
consequently, if well supplied with food
they grow faster than the brown trout,
and they rise far more readily to the
fly. "When hooked, they fight as gamely
as the native trout, are. If anything, bet
ter to eat, and more handsome to look
upon."
In order fully to understand and appre
ciate the merits and beauty or the rain
bow trout, the writer of the foregoing
should spend a holiday on tho McKenzie
River with Captain George Frlzzell when
the helgramlte fly is out, and compare it
with the cutthroat and the Dolly Varden.
"While on the subject of introduced game
and fish, the following tribute to hoggish
carp, an imported pest, Is quoted from
tho New Tork Sun to show that It is a.
nuisance in the East, as well as In Ore
gon: "For several years the New Jersey Flsh
and Game Commission has been hoping to
rid" the Passaic River above Paterson of
tho German carp, which have made the
stream uninhabitable for other fish. Three

years ago a famed fisherman from Erie,
Pa., made a proposition to catch the flsh
if he could have them to sell, and, as
boot, offered to restock thw river with
lake fish at his own expense. He did not
know what he was up against. He knew
that there was a lively market for live
carp among the orthodox Hebrews of this
and other cities and saw In his mind 10
cents a pound gross for the big flsh, but
quickly abandoned tho scheme of catch
ing them when he learned bf the difficul
ties in the way. It was not like seining
fish' In the lakes. The carp burrowed
under bank's and roots, and there were
several 'fasts' in every haul. So he gave
up the contract and slunk away, to be
heard of no more.
"Carp, from flngerllngs up to 25 pounds
In weight, infest the quiet reaches of
tho Passaic between the head of the falls
and the two bridges above Singac, and
above the reef at that point they revel
In tho slack water flowing through the
long stretches of meadows. They keep
the water constantly riled by grubbing
under the banks and rooting in the muddy
bottom for vegetable food. They have
driven thu black bass, perch and pickerel
into the swifter waters of the upper
river, the P.equannock, "Wanaque and
Ramapo. Decent fish cannot live In har
mony with tho hoggish carp, not that
they are belligerent; but because they
aro so messy In their habits and obscure
the water so much that the game flsh
cannot get their meals regularly.
"The East Jersey "Water Company,
after making most costly and elaborate
preparations to use the Passaic supply
at Little Falls and sell it to Its clients,
has been brought up suddenly by the
carp question. No clear water can be
furnished while theso grubbing. walU w
lng, snooping creatures are permitted to
exist in the river."
FREIGHT $40 A TON.
Yet This Rock Paid a Profit of $40
a Ton.
Quartz that will stand the expense of
packing 25 mlles-on horseback and ship
ping to Tacoma, has to be worth at least
540 a ton a ton for a starter, In order to
cover the expense. J. B. Burns, of Port
land, who has been, operating a quartz
mine on Mule Mountain, in Curry Coun
ty,, has been shipping ore by this slow
and expensive process all Summer, and
tho rock nets him over $40 a ton, showing
Its value to be over $80. He returned yes
terday from the mine, and is preparing
to set up a five-stamp mill, as he thinks
there is n.o use in throwing away 540 a
ton.
Mr. Burns says the ledge has been
opened up to a depth of 100 feet; its thick
ness thus far varies from four to six feet,
while the pay chute can be traced for 300
feet along the top of the hill. He has
hands at work now, running a tunnel so
as to strike the ledge at a depth of 125
feet below where ore Is now being taken
out.
Ho thinks Curry County Is going to
prove ono of the best mineralized por
tions of Oregon, but capital Is needed
to develop Its resources. Of course, if
all ledges were as rich as this one," he
said yesterday, at the St. Charles, "they
would pay their own expenses of devel
oping, but this cannot be expected of the
average mine. "We must prepare to put
In a lot of money before we begin taking
any out. It costs mbney to build road3
and open up mines, In order to be sure
you are right before you go ahead with
your mill." Mr. Burns' shipping point is
on the Southern Pacific, at "West Fork
Station, In Douglas County.

FOR THE FLORAL PARADE
GENERAL OWEN SUMMERS WILL BE
GRAND MARSHAL.
Crowds of Visitors Throng: the Street
Fair and Foreshadow the Great
Carnival Rush.
General Owen Summers lias been chosen
grand marshal of the floral parade, Sep
tember 7, Woman's day. Upon him will
fall the honpr and work of marshalling
the numerous floral floats and beautifully
decorated equipages that will be seen In
the parade, filled with pretty flower girls,
Cupids, goddesses an array of youth and
beauty quite unlike the stern military
battalions that the General Is accustomed
to lead. For tho parade, as In California,
will be a society event, and all of the
swell tallyhos, drags, tandem turn-outs
and carriages will be in the parade, deco
rated with all the varieties of wild and
cultivated flowers that bloom luxuriantly
In Oregon. When the floral pageant
passes In review be Tore the Carnival
King and Queen, a committee of judges
will also take note of the merits of each
passing display In order to award with

Miss Alice Thayer, Carnival Queen, re
ceived yesterday many congratulatory
messages from friends, felicitating her
upon the high honor that she had re
ceived. In regard to choosing her court,
she said: "I have not yet chosen any of
my maids of honor, nor am I as yet very
familiar with my duties as Queen. I have
given the matter very little thought a3
yet."
Throngs of people passing through the
Street Fair yesterday gave it the appear
ance of being open and ready for the re--ception
of visitors. Even though the In
terior of the buildings and booths were
rough and undecorated in finish, exclama
tions of pleasure were heard at tha mag
nificent scale In which the whole Street
Fair had been projected and the care with
which the plans were being executed. The
perfect arrangement for lighting the long
passage-ways between booths and
through the buildings, which will Illumi
nate the night time with a bright and
sparkling daylight, has been completed.
The central- power-wire has been
stretched along overhead the main passage-way
like a trolley-wire, and from
this at close intervals drop festoons of
Incandescent lights to the sides of the
booths. The scene from the Washington
street bridge, looking down upon the
thousands of dazzling lights, the beauti
fully decorated booths, the stately Morrison-street
arch, also studded with elec
tric light bulbs, the gally-movlng crowds
of spectators will be worth traveling
miles to see. 1
And thousands of visitors are coming to
see the carnival from Washington, Idaho,
Montana and California. Special excur
sion trains are to be run from Seattle,
Tacoma, Spokane, and large parties are
being organized in Butte, Helena, Boise
City, Baker City, Pendleton, and from all
the towns, large and small, in Oregon
and Washington. The scenes Saturday
evening on Morrison, Alder and Washing
ton streets, when The Oregonlan tower
was illuminated in view of thousands of
people, will be repeated daily during tho
carnival, but on a scale ten times as
large.
A Portland man who has seen all tho
large carnivals In the Eastern cities said
yesterday:
"This carnival of Portland's will sur
pass anything of the kind that I have
ever seen In any Eastern city. It has
grown and grown until It has reached a
magnificent size and extent. Anyone who
walks through the fair on Sixth street
will be Impressed with the magnitude of
the undertaking, and when everything is
finished, the decorations of the booths
completed, the exhibits all placed In their
buildings, the amusements In full sway,
the fair certainly will make the Portland
people proud of its success. The Port
land business men have supported the
enterprise liberally, and the fair will be
one of the greatest advertisements that
Portland las ever had."

FARM CREAM SKIMMING.
Hand Separators as Etlucatprs in
Dairy Industry. '
Chicago Dairy Produce.
Hon. B. P. Norton, Iowa's Dairy Com
missioner, discusses as follows the future
of tho baby separator In his 13th annual
report r
The great Increase in the use .of farm
separators is easily noticeable. Despite
the expense connected therewith their use
bids fair to become more or less general
In the dairy portions of the state, and
while their Introduction may not be looked
upon with favor by all creamery men, it
will be necessary to adjust ourselves -to
the new conditions. The creamery can
only exist when the farmer is making
some money out of his dairy, and If he
sees that he can make more money with
the same or less work by skimming his
milk at home he will do so. And in the
end the creamery will be benefited by the
Increased Interest in dairy matters and
the increase in the product thereof sent
to the creamery to be worked up and
sold.
The advantages of the farm separators
are:
Effectiveness of skimming over any
method of gravity creaming.
Saving in cost of hauling milk to cream
ery and back.
Increased value of the skimmed milk,
due to its uniform sweetness.
Saving of time, labor, and dairy uten
sils formerly In use.
The disadvantages are:
The expense.
The labor of running the separator.
Despite the fact that there are many
separator creameries in Iowa, there Is
still a great number of large daries, and
Innumerable smaller ones, that still pur
sue the old wasteful methods of gravity
creaming. To these, where the dairy Is
largo enough to warrant tho cxpenso, tho

hand separator comes as a money-maklnjc
machine without a doubt. The best meth
ods of gravity creaming, using Ice, leavo
in the milk from six to nine-tenths of ono
per cent of fit, while the best separators
will take out practically all of the fat.
and give a better quality of cream. Such
a saving ot one-seventh or one-sixth of
the total fat content of the milk is cer
tainly desirable. It seems to be a self
evident proposition that tho use of tho
farm separator will soon become the regu
lar thing In connection with gathered
cream factories.
It is not to be expected that tho U38
of the farm separator will become uni
versal and so crowd out the separator
creameries, but only that the larger dairies
will take advantage of Its usefulness, and,
that the smaller producers will still con
tinue the present 3yitem, and the natural
grow'th of the industry all over the stata
will support all the creameries we now
have, and In a few years will support twice
as many as at present.
SHE WANTED TO KNOW.
Question as to Poisoning; Hen's Essa
Still Unsolved.
A woman of a scientific turn of mind
residing in the suburbs and engaged In
poultry raising called up a city official by
telephone one day last week and told him,
that the carcass of a cow which had been
poisoned was not far distant from he?
place. The official, who was busy, re
plied: "Very well, madam. I will see that it
is removed at once."
"Please wait till I get through," camf
back over the wire. "I do not want t"
carcass removed, as my chickens aro ea
lng It up. What I want to know Is wha.
effect the poison will have on tho eggs
my chickens lay?"
"I cannot tell you for certain," replied
the official, "but you had better eat soma
of the eggs, and If they do not kill you,
let me hear from you again."
She has not yet been heard from, and
the official Is content.
