Good Results.
6UMETEB, May 25. The mining dis
tricts around Sumpter are putting out
more ore and doing- more development
work than at -any time In the hlBtory of
the camp. At the North Pole the new
tramway enables the owners to handle
more ore at a reduced cost. The output
of the .mill will be Increased several thou
sand dollars a month by the Improve
ment. David "Wilson, who holds an option on
three-fourths of the stock and bonds of
the E. & E. mine, asserts that -work
will be resumed on that property within
0 days by Eastern capitalists, who are
negotiating1 for its purchase. The price is
about $350,000. The E. & E. was a
good producer from 1SS9 to 1899, when the
varied interests became involved in a
lawsuit, and the mine was closed down.
At the Esmeralda group, on Cracker
Creek, above the North Pole, arrange
ments have been made for the extension
of the main tunnel 1600 feet this season.
This -will give a depth of nearly 2000 feet
under the apez of the hllL
At the 'Minneapolis, sear Bourne, the
tunnel is being- Tun through, good ore.
The Columbia has made final payment
on the purchase of the Appomattox claim.
The capacity of the cyanlding plant is
being doubled. It was started last year
as an experiment, and proved a thorough
success. The main shaft is down about
600 feet. This mine Is the best producer
of the district. The ore Is of uniform
value, and the richest shoots are blocked
out and left standing. The output for
March and April was $90,000 and $58,000,
respectively.
At the Golconda, drifting Is in progress
on the 400-foot level in ore averaging
about $30 to the ton. The owners are
blocking out and milling sufficient ore to
cover running expenses.
At the Mammoth, the Bryan mill Is kept
running steadily, but is not of sufficient
capacity to handle the large body of ore,
and Superintendent McCallum announces
that a 10-stamp mill will be added soon.
The ore is coming from the Belle of
Baker claim.
At the Bald Mountain the new 20-staxnp
mill is working perfectly, and, while the
output is not made public. Superintendent
McCallum states it is entirely satisfactory.
The Grizzly Gold Bug is building a
wagon road to the mine and taking in
the machinery of a sinking plant. Super
intendent Hennessy states that work will
be continued during the year, there being
ample funds In the treasury.
There Is much actlity in the Cable
Cove district. At the California a 900
foot cross-cut tunnel Is being run, and
good progress is being made with the air
drills. The Crown Point Is doing ex
tensive development work, having recent
ly Installed power drills. The Gipsy
King, Gipsy Queen and Constellation
groups, on Big Timber Creek, are work
ing double shifts. The 4000-foot tunnel on
the Baby McKee is being pushed under
the superintendency of Colonel Grayson.
The Red Boy has its new pump in place,
and sinking is again under way. A big
joint tunnel .will soon be started by the
Red Boy and Concord people, to afford
better air, and facilities for handling ore.
The Concord, adjoining the Red Boy,
has large bodies of ore blocked out, and
Mayor Bobbins states that a mill will be
installed at no distant date.
The new mill on the Quebec Is nearing
completion, and will soon be crushing ore
from the Quebec and Oregon & Colorado
groups.
Arrangements are under way for the In
stalling of mills on the Strasburg and
Alamo groups.
At the Diadem the owners are In 600
feet on a tunnel, and the present contract
will tap the shaft In 800 feet more, af
fording good drainage.
The Bonanza output of $118,000 for April
was from a rich chute of ore encountered
in an upper level, and was partly applied
in making final payment for the property.
The Badger, at Susanville. is Increasing
Its output, and has contracted for the de
livery of 60 tons per month at Whitney.
At Quartzburg the Laurence mill has
been leased to the owners of, the Present
Need mine, P. F. Morey and son, and
will be run partly as a custom mill.
Ground is being cleared near the Copper
King mine for the smelter that will be
installed next month. The building of the
smelter and the new management of the
stamp mill will enable all the mines of
the district to work full crews.
There Is yet too much snow In the
Greenhorns for much activity.
At Mlnersmlll, five miles east of Sump
ter, 45 men are employed, where one year
ago there were none. On the Wisconsin
group, a tunnel 230 feet In length has been
completed, and a 100-foot shaft, all in
ore. Is now being sunk.
On the St. Louis group there is a tun
nel in 200 feet. At the Center Star, 50 feet
on the ledge has been attained, and a
cross-cut will soon be run to ascertain
the width -of the ledge.
There are three placer groups Here, the
Goss. Kline and Cairns properties. All
are using giants.
At the Bills placers, adjoining Sump
ter, 25 men are using two giants to good
advantage, and the Downey placers have
an equally large force employed. The
Fishers, Wlntermills, Buck Gulch, Manns

KORTH POLE MINE MYSTERY.
No Arrest Yet Made In. the Jellteon
Murder Case.
BAKER CITY. May 25. The mystery
surrounding the murder of Ira Jelllson, at
the North Pole mine, last Saturday night,
lias not been cleared up, and from the
testimony given before the Coroner's jury
it would seem that the guilty man stands
a very good chance to escape punishment.
It has developed, as usual, that there was
a woman in the case. Charles Miller, the
colored cook, who was arrested on sus
picion of having murdered Jelllson, said
In his testimony before the Coroner's jury
that Jelllson was Intimate with a Mrs.
Mix, who lived at the mine. The negro
claimed that John Murphy was also Inti
mate with the "Mix -woman, and that
(Murphy and Jelllson were very jealous of
each other. There was some testimony
which tended to show jealousy on the part
of the negro. Jelllson's brother In his
statement Intimated that Ira Jelllson, the
murdered man, was intimate with Mrs.
Mix.
There was no direct testimony which
tended to Implicate Miller, the colored
cook. Mrs. Spencer said that the negro
came home drunk about midnight, and
soon after he went to bed In the dlning
xoom, she heard moans coming from the
basement where Jelllson slept She called
to the negro to know what was the mat
ter, and he said It was Jelllson. When
she asked him to go and see about It. he
hesitated, but finally did go, and reported
that Jelllson was badly hurt. He after
wards called for assistance. The negro
said In his sworn statement that he -had
threatened to leave the mine if there was
not an end put to the relations of the
Mix woman. Murphy and Jelllson. He
also admits that he killed a man In Ten
nessee in 1S77, and had had trouble with
a. Chinaman, whom he laid out with a
potato masher at Burns, this state, .and
left there In a hurry to avoid trouble.
Mrs. Mix stated that the next morning
after the assault the negro brought In a
slingshot under his apron, saying it be
longed to Jelllson and that he was going
to throw It away to avoid suspicion.
District Attorney White has taken no
steps looking to the arrest of any one,
and will not authorize the issuance of any
warrants until he learns more about the
case. Miller, the colored man. who was
arrested on suspicion, is in the county J
Jail In this city awaiting his preliminary
examination. The'verdictof the Coroner's
jury was that Jelllson came to Ills death
from a fracture of the skull caused'bV
some blunt instrument in the hands of
someone to them unknown.

Tkree Men Held for Burglary Sawed
Their- "Way Out.-
SALEM, May 26. Three prisoners await
ing trial at the June term of the Circuit
Court sawed bars out of three doors In
the.Marlon County jail early this morning
and escaped withoutn being seen. After
sawing the bars -from the doors of their
cells and the outside door of the corridor,
the? passed out the front door on the
firstfloor of the Courthouse, carrying their
blankets -under their arms. A nleht-
watchman was onthe second floor, a dog
lay in tne hall through which they passed
and Deputy Sheriff Colbath slept in. a
room opening from the hall. 'but there
was no intimation of what was going on
until the Jail-breakers had secured a good
start. v
The prisoners were Fred Williams, Peter
Adams and A. Peterson, three young men
arrested In Portland April 29 on a charge
of robbing general merchandise stores at
Woodburn. They were given preliminary
hearings at Woodburn and broughfto the
county jail to await trial in the Circuit
Court They are all less than 24 years
of age, but bear evidence of being skilled
in the burglar's art Their cases were 'to
be investigated by. District Attorney Hart
the last of this week, and they would
have been tried at the term of court
beginning June 10. The evidence was
strong against them and a term In the
penitentiary was almost certain to have
been the outcome of their trials.
Two of the men were locked In one'cell
while the other shared a cell with A T.
Zumwalt The Iron bars of their cell
doors ran perpendicularly through cross
bars and were about an inch In diameter.
In order to make an opening they had to
caw off two bars In each door, then bend
ing the bars to one side so as to leave
about a 12-lnch aperture through which
they passed. After escaping from their
cells they were In the corridor and had a
similar door between them and freedom.
They sawed two bars from this In the
same manner and then -had nothing to do
but turn the night latch on the front
door of the building. There were prisoners
in all the adjoining cells and one sleeping
in the corridor, but all deny hearing any
disturbance during the night until the
nightwatchman gave the alarm. Zum
walt, who occupied the cell with one of
the Jail-breakers, claims to have had no
knowledge of the night's work. He could
have escaped also If he had known of the
break and had wished to dp so, but was
found in his cell when the" officers went
in to examine the doors.
How the prisoners secured their saws is
a mystery. Sheriff Durbin and his depu
ties searched the men thoroughly when
they were brought to the jail, and found
nothing on them. It Is possible, but not
probable, that saws were passed in from
the outside, but Sheriff Durbin is of the
opinion that they carried saws in with
them. It is probable that the work of
sawing the bars has been going on for
some time and that this morning all that
remained to do was the cutting of a thin
piece of Iron left to hold the bars In
place. In one Instance the remaining piece
of Iron was broken by prying the bar with
a stick of wood.
About 2 o'clock this morning Night
watchman Hedrick heard an unusual noise
In the jail and' awoke Deputy. Colbath
to ask him whether any one had been
left loose In the corridor. Mr. Colbath re
plied that Harry Dunn, a sick prisoner,
naa been permitted to remain In the cor
ridor so as to be near a fire. This ex
plained the noise to the satisfaction of
the watchman and he returned to the
second' floor of the building. About 4
o'clock he heard another suspicious noise,
probably the closing of the outside door,
and upon investigation found that the Jail
door bars had been cut He Immediately
woke Mr. Colbath, who In turn summoned
6herlff Durbin, and the pursuit com
menced. Colbath went to Woodburn to
watch the northbound trains and Deputy
Sheriff Estes went to Jefferson to watch
the crossing of the Santlam River at that
place. Sheriff Durbin remained to watch
the trains leaving Salem.
Durbin Caught a Burglar.
"While Mr. Durbin was walking near the
passenger depot he saw two men come
out of a vacant house and walk toward
the overland train, which had Just pulled
in. He followed the men and called to
them to wait for him. They quickened
their steps and he threatened to shoot
upon which one man gave up? but the
other took to his heels. Durbin fired once
into the ground and then at the man's
head, but with no result except a piercing
yell from the fugitive. The fleeing man
escaped over an embankment" but was
later found under the porch at the house
formerly owned by Mr. Mee near the
depot The man hid by stretching his
body close to the floor above between the
floor joists, hlsvtoes and hands reatlnir.on
sills about six feet apart Durbin" passed
directly under the man twice, before dis
covering him. The feat of strength dis
played In gaining this hiding place was
one that Jean Valjean might have been
proud of.
Durbin took his man to jail and there
discovered that he Is one of the gang that
Durgiarlzed Ave grocery stores In Salem
Friday night The man had several of
the stolen articles In his possession. He is
evidently a desperate character for he
continued his flight when a bullet whizzed
past his head. His companion, a man
with one hand missing, was allowed to
escape. Sheriff Durbin thinking that since
he could get but one at the time-he would
better let the marked man go, ,as the
chances of catching him later are favorable.

of Mr. and Mrs. Archibald McKInley, on
December 1, 1847. Mr. McKInley was
chief trader of the Hudson's Bay Com

tisms until the parish was formally or
ganized in 1S51, one week later than
Trinity Parish in Portland. Mr. Fackler
had lived at Champoeg, but evidently
took up his residence near Oregon City,

that there was mud on his surplice at
times when he came In from his farm

How Weary Willies Are Entertained
in Eastern Oregon.
PENDLETON, Or., May 25. Eastern
Oregon. is the tramps paradise. Far from
the madding crowd and the city's din
these children of nature loll and luxuri
ate in the tall grass. The lonely shep-
,herd, tending his flocks on the wrinkled
hills, is probably the only man In the
world who gives the tattered hobo a
nrnHmin Wfilpnmo The shopnhprrtor txrhn
While he had been j llve3 the llfe o an Alexander Selkirk, is
glad to see any kind of a human being,
and so the outcasts of fate are always
sure of entertainment
Being a central point from which lines
of railway diverge, Pendleton Is continu
ally beset with hoboes from every clime.-
They are coming and going In a ceaseless
stream, in spite of the fact that farm
ers are looking for hired men -and flock
masters are offering big wages for herd
ers. Pendleton has a City Marshal, who
has been studying the philosophy of a
hobo's life. He spends bis wages' In buy
ing books that deal with 'the vagrant
classes. The Glty Marshal's name isjJohn
Heathman, but the hoboes know-him only
as "Missouri John." After rea'dlng all the
books that have ever been published re
garding nomadic life, the City Marshal
has hit upon the plan of scanty diet as a
cure for mendicancy. He puts his pris
oners on bread and water. They complain
bitterly of the entertainment, and cry
loudly for coffee. .
"Would you like some coffee this morn
ing, boys?" inquires the Marshal of his
boarders. "If you do, just turn the faucet
to the left"
As the faucet Is connected with the
water hydrant, the Marshal's joke puts
the drinks on the prisoners, who often
threaten to .sue the city. ' Yesterday a
band of 17 hoboes begged money enough
to buy a quarter of a barrel of beer. They
took the beer to a shady place on the
river bank, and were having a royal ban
quet when their enemy, "Missouri John,"
'appeared upon the scene and gathered
them In. They are now swearlpg and liv
ing on bread and water. "Boxcar Casey,"
their Captain-General, threatens to em
ploy a lawyer and bring suit against the
city.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 26. Henry Lut-
gherth, a Norwegian butcher, is held at
the city prison under suspicion of being
the man who so brutally murdered little
13-year-old Robbie Hlslop at his home!
104 Halght street, some time Saturday
evening. A chain of circumstances' has
connected Lutgherth with the case and
unless he can substantiate an alibi, which
he claims, he will undoubtedly be com
pelled to stand trial for the crime. It
Is either a very peculiar case or a very
simple one. Whoever the murderer was
he was excited and agitated when the
boy's life was taken. If the circumstan
tial evidence, which Is supposed by the
police to connect the butcher with the.
murder, be substantiated, then the solu
tion of the mystery becomes simple.
Robert C. Hlslop was murdered while
he lay asleep In bed some time last even
ing. The crime was one of the most brutal
affairs in the knowledge of the police,
who attribute it to the work of some
clumsy burglar. The boy went to bed at
8 o'clock In the evening, telling his mother,
who was about to leave the house at
that hour, that he intended to get up at
5 in the morning to study for the ap
proaching examinations. The mother, as
was her custom on Saturday evenings,
left the house at 8 o'clock to go to her
husband's furniture store to accompany
him home when he closed for the evening.
When the parents returned to the house,
which Is an upper flat, they were sur
prised to And that nearly all the rooms
were ablaze with lighted gas. The father
Immediately started to discover the cause
and It was not long before he saw Indi
cations that a burglar had visited the
place. His own bedroom, which was the
first room he inspected, had been thor
oughly ransacked, as well as the dining
room. - There was no light in the bedroom
of the younger son, who had been left
asleep when the mother went out, and
making their way to the apartment, the
parents were horrified to And that his
face was covered with blood and that he
was gasping for breath and unconscious.
CHls skull was fractured at the base on the
right side, from which the brain was
oozing. He had been slashed six times
on the right Bide of the face with a knife,
while another cut had almost severed the
lobe of his right ear. The boy had evi
dently been sleeping on his left side and
the murderer had stabbed and beaten him
into insensibility as he lay on his bed. He
was unconscious and passed away about
11 o'clock without uttering a word of ex
planation of the horrible tragedy. Blood
stains left by the murderer were found on
the stairs and on the steps outside the
door. Nothing of value was missing from
the house. Lutgherth had formerly room
ed at the house of the Hlslops and .was
well acquainted with the premises. He
left there some six weeks ago because,
according to his own statement, he was
unable to raise the money to pay the
rent. The Hlslops, on the other hand,
say that the rent was paid and that
they got rid of Lutgherth because he was
not a desirable person to have in the
house.
Lutgherth has been employed for a few
weeks at a sausage .factory on Ninth
street, but his employer was not satisfied
with him, and Saturday evening dis
charged him. Lutgherth says that imme
diately after his discharge he went with a
friend, his roommate, to a saloon near
the sausage shop and remained there until
after 9 o'clock. That he then went out
with his friend, stopping on the way at a
drug store, and went to his room On La
guna street, reaching there a little before
10 o'clock. His friend, Schmidt, corrobor
ates this story in every particular, and
says he did not leave Lutgherth all even
ing. The owner of the sausage shop says
he discharged Lutgherth at 7 o'clock. The
saloon-keeper says that Lutgherth and
Schmidt remained in his saloon until 7:45
.P. M. The druggist says Schmidt -went
to his place of business about 8 o'clock
and remained there about 15 minutes.
Here all trace of the two Is lost except
through their own statement that they
went home, arriving there between 9:30
and 10 o'clock. .

cut in Alaska passenger rates was made
today by the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company, which advertised and placarded

nal ports for ?5. It provides also a round
trip voyage between Seattle and Alaska
for $10. The cut applies only to first
class, no distinction being made between
the first! and second-class accommoda

the Alaskan Steamship and Washington

war. Freight rates are as badly de
moralized. Almost any price offered for
the transportation of a ton of freight to
Alaska is accepted.
Northern Pacific Incident Cnnsei
Stagnation on Berlin Bonne.
-
BERLIN, May 26.-CondItions on the
Bourse last week were very stagnant, not
withstanding an easier money market
than has been known for years.. Many
factors combined to produce a weak mar

tinued to react here, causing an almost
total cessation of business In the Ameri
can department Other causes of weak
ness were the Prussian crop report and
the reduced April earnings of the ereat
coal companies.
"The Northern Pacific affair,'; says the
Kreuz Zeltung, "had a greater effect here
than was at flrst supposed through Ger

dealt in on the Berlin Bourse. Several
sales of the common stock were effected

Notwithstanding the foregoing state

that satisfactory arrangements have been
made for the German shorts at the Lon

LONDON, May 26. The shadow of the
Northern Pacific excitement is still hang

This, combined with the approaching holi

company will be formed of Cleveland cap
italists, with Senator Hanna as the prln
clpal owner. A trust Is to be formed to

The reasons why Dr. Kessler Is so suc
cessful In the permanent cure of the above
chronic diseases are simple and easy of
comprehension, yet extremely Important
FlrSt, let It be said that to cure these
lingering diseases requires many years'
experience. By treating hundreds of such
diseases every year the specialist becomes
intimately acquainted with their every I
phase and condition, which en
ables him to know at once 'just
wbart form of treatment Is re
quired to effect a speedy relief
and a permanent cure. A spe
cialist's ability to cure deep
seated diseases Is In proportion
to his years of experience.
For 25 years Dr. Kessler has
made a specialty of curing
chronic disorders of the nerves,
blood, kidneys and bladder and
weaknesses of the urinary canal.
Simple diseases, such as ma
laria, can easily be cured by
the family physician. Chronic diseases,
such as kidney trouble, or vital weakness
of the nervous system and of the organs
caused by violation of the laws of health,
require nothing short of the services of a
specialist experienced In such diseases.
And. remember, a specialist is one who
devotes his entire time and study to the
treatment of CHRONIC and private dis
eases, and who has .had years of expe
rience. '
If you place your case in the care of
Dr. Kersler, you are not only assured of
a positive and permanent cure (no mat
ter what your disease, or how long it
has besieged you), but you can be cer
tain of being treated honestly and consci
entiously. Aside from the fact that he Is daily ef
fecting remarkable cures, there Is a
mighty reason for Dr. Kessler's
large and growing practice. It
Is that the people have come to
know that byhlm they-are- sure
to receive only honest, pains
taking treatment. And they are
showing the great part that
honesty plays by freely placing
their physical ailments in his
charge.
