Register and Receiver of the United
States Land Office here have been busy
this week examining the testimony and
passing upon contest cases Involving
lands In townships 4 and 5 north, range
4 east, recently thrown open for settle
ment. An unusually large number of
contests followed the opening of these
townships between, homestead settlers
and scrip purchasers. The land is heav
ily timbered, and, being near the survey
and right of way of the Portland, Van
couver & Yakima Railway, offered an at
tractive field for investment for timber
men and others desiring to purchase de
sirable timber lands, who offered scrip
tilings upon a aarge portion of the land
In the two townships. Many of these
scrip filings covered lands claimed by In
tending homesteaders, who in many cases
had actually lived upon their claims from
one to five yars and had made valuable
improvements. The following cases were
disposed of during the past week, the de
dcclslon of the local officers in each case
being In favor of the homestead settler
and against the scrip purchaser:

THIS COXDITIOX IS TRUE OF THE
CABLE COVE DISTRICT.
Few Properties In Position to Con
tinue Winter Operations Devel
opment Worlc for Past Year.
BAKER CITY. Nov. 30. Mining opera
tions in the Cable Cove district, eight or
nine miles northwest of Sumpter, have
been made difficult by the recent heavy
fall of snow. From two to four feet
cover the region, and only such proper
lies .as are below ground and are protect
ed can continue work during the Winter
months.
Late reports from that district are to
the effect that the California Gold Min
ing Company Is in position to continue de
velopment of Its property. Under the
condition of the bond and agreement by
which the company operates. 900 feet of
crosscut tunnel must be .driven by July
1901, at wblch time the purchase price b
comes payable. The company, "with hand
drill, has driven In on Jjie old lower
tunnal of the California about 100 feet. A
new two-bar power plant is now being In
stalled, with 70 horse-power. The air
compressors In this plant will operate
three or four drills, and work will be
pushed with greater speed than hereto
fore The "compressors have not arrived
yet. but are expected soon.
At the Baby McKee mine considerable
development work has been done In the
past vear. This corporation's Interests
are managed by Colonel J. T. Grayson,
of New York. There are Ave claims In
the Baby McKee group, the 'most Import
ant ones being the Baby McKee. Goldbar.
Pittsburg and Cincinnati. The properties
are located at the head of the north fork
of the John Day River, just across the di
vide from tne California properties. A
deep tunnel It Is said, has been started
on the Baby McKee, which will be 2500
feet In length when completed. At the
present time, the company Is Installing
a- power plant for more energetic opera
tions. It has erected "Winter quarters
and buildings that cost 52000 and will ac
commodate 40 men. It is plainly evident
that the company will push Its ,work en
ergetically. Most of the work done the
past year was at the
old Baby McKee
tunnel, which Is much further up the hill
than, where the new tunnel Is being
driven. The latter is but fairly started,-
and has only progressed about 100 feetv
This Is the beginning of the loner tunnel
which, it Is understood, will be completed
as soon as practicable.
It is reported that a Massachusetts
company has bonded the Gypsy King and
Qucn mines. These- properties are across
the divide from the California, and near
the Baby McKee. The management has
prepared to go Into Winter quarters, and
six or eight men are now employed. The
qbject of this Winter's work is to drift
E00 feet on the ledge. Work up to date
shows a ledge upwards of two feet In
tbJckness. and which has run as high as
530 per ton, wherever tests have been
made.
Little has bpen done In the well-known
properties of the Eagle Company. Sis.
carloadn of ore were shipped out to the
smelter but this was taken from develop
menf work dne the year previous. Work
has een kept up most of the time on the
Imperial tunne1 which Is about 100 feet
deeper thin last year. Perhaps more
shipping ore has been taken from the Ea
gle than any other .mine In that section
of the state. Ore from It has netted the
owrers as high as 583 per ton. (on the
average, after paying freight and smelter
charges of 520 a ton. The Eagle mine has
the reputation of furnishing the largest
quantity of good shipping ore taken from
thi entire district.
The new management of the Red Chief
group has done little. If any, more than
necessary assessment work during the
season. Operations there have ceasea
with the cold weather.
The five claims of. the Jersev Mining
Company Nancy TKariks, Deer Trail. Vir
ginia. Jersey and Little Maud have re
ceived ho more attention than was neces
sary for working out assessment. There
are several properties. In the Cove dis
trict that show assessment work, but ex
cept on those previously mentioned there
has been nothing done that would be
called development.
For wood and water, the Cove district
Is very favorably located. Any company
erecting a mill will find an abundance or
wood for fuel at the very door of hrs
plant. In some large properties of East
ern Oregon, fuel Is an important consid
eration. Oregon Mlninp: Stock Exchange.

ELECTRIC SAW MILL.
Portland 'Capitalists May Restore
Tlllamoolc Plant.
TILLAMOOK, Or., Ndv. 30. It now looks
as though the electric saw mill, which
was destroj ed by the breaking of a dam
last Friday morning, will be rebuilt,
despite a report to the contrary which
appeared in yesterday's Oregonlan. It Is
expected that Portland capitalists will
further the project. George W. Browejv
Invento- of the mill, asserts that th
value placed on the property by common
r port is far In excess of Its true worth. J
Instead of a loss of 510.000, Mr. Brower
says 53000 would be a high estimate. He
also enters a strong denial to the asser
tion that the mill was not a success in
very particular, and several lumbermen
of Oregon's metropollsclty who witnessed
'the operation ot the plant share his opls-
ion. The producl turned out was of a
superior class, and, as it could Tse manu
factured more cheaply than by steam
power, it Is very reasonable to expect
that capital will not bo at 'all timid about
taking up the proposition. The mill was
located in a. .fine belt of timber, and lna
growing country. While, It was Intended
to export the product, the local demand
was so great that this brarfch of the
business had never been taken up.
SEW SYSTEM OF HIRING MINERS.

WALLACE, Idaho., Nov, 30. Beginning
tomorrow, a new system of employing
laborers of all grades will go Jnto effect
with the leading mines of Canyon Creek
and Mullan, which It is claimed will be
a convenience to both the employer and
employe. Instead of hiring men at the
different mines as heretofore, they will
be hired by art .agent In Wallace, he
acting as an employment agent. .
In some quarters. It is claimed that it
is Intended to take the place of the fa
mous permit system, when -that Is abol
ished, as it assumed that It will be on
the inauguration of Governor Hunt, but
as yet there Is nothing to Indicate it ex
cept the1 fact that George T. Edmlston.
who has been the state's agent in the
Issuance of permits. Is the employment
agent chosen.

GREAT INTEREST IN COMING CITY
ELECTION AT SALEM.
Fight Is Between the Republican
and Non-Partlsa'a Forces Lat
ter Accused of BessisBs.
SALEM. Nov. 30. The Salem city elec
tion, which occurs Monday, promises to
be one of the warmest ever held. A week
ago it was thought that the "Citizens"
administration would have a -walkover,
but since the Republicans, put up their
ticket and the ""Citizens" held their rati
fication meeting, there has been a won
derful change In public sentiment. There
is quite general dissatisfaction among
many who supported the Citizens move
ment two years ago, because ot the man
ner In which the "Citizens" ticket was
nominated this year. A few men decided
upon the candidates and took around pe
titions f6r the signatures of residents of
the city. As men generally dislike to re
fuse to sign such a petition, no exact
expression of public opinion -was thus ob
tained. Then the leaders of the move
ment called a mass meeting, at whlcit
the citizens were expected to ratify the
nominations. With 250 signatures 'on the
petition, only 63 persons turned out to
ratify the action of the 250. This mode
of procedure Is denounced as a worse
phase of bossism lhan ever existed In
the Republican party.
The Republican candidates held a meet
ing today, arid issued an address to the
people. In which they pledge, themselves
to "strictest economy In the management
of the city's affairs; exact the best pos
sible service from every employe of the
city; to a "strict observance and con
tinuance of the terms of the .present
city charter In regard to salaries, name
ly, that the compensation, of city officers
shall be as follows: Recorder, 51000 "per
year; Marshal, 51000 per year; the salary
of the Treasurer to be as at present, 5100
per year, and all fees and emoluments,
from whatever source derived, to be
turned Into the city treasury."

The' Woman in Peril Rircly Finds
. Help tronviler Own Sex.
It is in no wise to a woman's discredit
that she Is not a professional life-saver.
We can only fancy her In th'e fireman's
hdmet, In the crew of the lifeboat, or
wielding a policeman's club, at the loss
ot some of that fineness which Is the
diKtm,ichw n,miitv nf hr x. The
Molly Pitchers and Grace Darllng3 are
only -examples ot the sublime self-for-
getfulness of women in great emergen
cies. It's much the same In other ways.
Women turn to th strength, skill and
Judgment of men In the crises of -life. .
One of the most common statements
made In the letters grateful women write
to Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y Is this:
"I owe my life, to Dr. Pierce.' These
women have found themselves In great
danger. They have appealed without
avail to local physicians. They have
counseled in vain with women advisers.
The best that had been done for them
was Just to keep them afloat-in the sea,
of disease with strength visibly falling.
In the hope that the man who had
strength and skill to save them might
be found. .
WOMAN'S APPEAL ANSWERED.
Hundreds of thousands of women have
appealed to Dr. Pierce, for relief from
womanly Ills and not one has appealed In
Vain. The use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, supplemented by the medi
cal advice ot Dr. Pierce, has been the
means of cure to this vast army of wom
en suffering from diseases peculiar to the
sex
"I wish to tell you the benefit I re
ceived Irom using your remedies," writes
Mm. Alice Soncrant, of 261 West Harrison
street, Chicago. 111. "Two years ago I
was taken with a severe pain in the left
ovary and side. Tried several different
remedies, hut nothing helped me. 1 got
so bad I could scarcely walk across the
floor or do work of any kind. One day
an old neighbor lady came in to see me,
and told me to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite
PrecrIption. She said she knew it would '
help me, as it had saved her life. When
the doctors had given her up and sala
they could do nothing for her she said
she began to take Dr. Pierce's Favoritfe
Prescription and It cured her. So I got a
bottie of the Favorite Prescription and
one of Golden Medical Discovery, and
begap taking them. Before I had taken
one bottle of each I was so much bettey
I could do all my own work, and that Is
a gcod deal, as I am the mother of four
small children. Three bottles of the Fa-

the dread disease, Is a brother to the first
