DELAY AT DALLES
Unexpected Set-Backto River

ernment to Place Jetty
Stone. WASHINGTON", July 9. It Is now prob
, able that the special board of engineers
: appointed to Investigate the Harts pro
1 Ject tor opening the Columbia River at
,The Dalles, and the Marshall board to
study the projects for improving the
louth of the Columbia, may not be able
to meet until some time In September.
le Secretary of War today ordered Cap
ita McKInstay. a member of both
(boards, to proceed to New London. Conn.,
Hor duty in Connecticut with the coming
Army and Navy maneuvers to take place
toward the end of August, and it is not
i oeuevea no win ue uuiu uj visit wregun.

! of Engineers was very much, averse to
having McKInstay assigned to this spe-
Pclal duty, but Secretary Root would not
fyield. The department believes the
maneuvers are of more importance than
short delay on these river improvements.
Captain Burr, another member of the
lalles board, has been selected with Cap
tain McKInstay as a member of the gen
; eral board of engineer officers to pass
'upon all new surveys and examinations,
and both may be delayed farther on this
account.
It was stated at the engineers' office to
day that while a delay at the dalles is
almost certain, work will not necessarily
be held up at the mouth of tho Columbia,
Captain Langfltt has not yet submitted a
project for extending the Jetty, but the
understanding is that he will be author
ized to make contracts for furnishing
stone, while the work of placing the stone
in position on the sea end of the Jetty
will be done by the engineers, and not by
contract. What little stone can be fur
nished before the board has an opportu
nity to meet and report will probably not
be placed In position, at least not in
sufficient quantities to materially effect
any change of direction, if any, that may
later be recommended for this Jetty. For
this reason no serious interference Is con
templated.
The Chief of Engineers realizes the anx-
lety of the people of Oregon and Wash
ington to have work commenced looking
to opening the river at the dalles, and
has been doing his best to get an early
report from the board. The unlooked-for
setback is a great disappointment to him.
I The board to investigate the Lake Wash
Ington canal will probably commence its
t investigations as soon as Captain Lang-
kfltt has completed his report on the sev
eral improvements under his charge.
There Is no necessity for an early, report.
'.however, as an appropriation cannot be
secured at the next sesslpn of Congress,
even if the board favorably recommends
any of the proposed routes. The Wlllaxn.
.ctte board will also be free to act when
Captain Langflttgets through with hlj
! local work. . t
TtATB OP INDIAN WAR PENSION.
tBcneflciaries Will Receive 88 Per
Month. From Jnne 27.
WASHINGTON, July 9. Under the In
dian War veteran pension law recently
snacted, pensions will be granted at the
ite of $8 per jnonth, and will be payable
from June 27 last, during the lives of the
aeneflciarles. This rate of pension ap
ilies not only to veterans, but to such
widows as have- not remarried, but in
fevery Instance Is limited to -citizens of the
United States. These provisions are con
tained in the Blackhawk pension act of
July 27, 1892, which by the recent law is
made applicable to the survivors of the
Indian wars in Oregon, Washington and
other sections.
Under the old act, and therefore -under
Pthe new one, every claimant will be re-
julred to establish his right to a pension,
ind any person falsely or corruptly mak
ing oath to any evidence required by the
lepartment will be guilty of perjury. The
secretary is directed to drop from the
pension rolls tho name of any person
whenever it shall be proven his name was
put upon the roll through false and fraud
ulent representations, and such persons
will be forever barred from receiving a
pension. The recent law is held not to
apply to any person who is receiving a
pension of $8 a month or more, nor to
any person receiving a pension of less
than $8 a month, except for the difference
between the pension now received and $8.
Owing to the great press of business at
the Government printing office, the blank
forms for applications under the Indian
War act will probably not be received
before next week. When available, largo
quantities are to be sent to the several
members of the Oregon delegation and
to all veterans who make personal appli
cation of the Commissioner of Pensions.
SPECTACLE MAKING.
Tbe Difference Betvreen American
and Foreign Methods.
Jeweler's Circular Weekly.
It has been estimated that the product
of American optical goods manufacturers
exceeds, yearly, 6,000,000 pairs of spectacles
and eyeglasses. One company alone manu
factures nearly 1,500,000 pairs annually.
ivhlch is probably 10 times as many as
cere made in the entire United States dur
ing any one year previous to 1860. The
juestlon has often arisen as to where they
ill go. The United States contains some
f8.000.000 people, and about one out of
very five should wear glasses; yet not
ill of our product Is consumed by the
lerlcan people. Owing to the high stand-
rd of uniformity, accuracy, durability
nd workmanship in general, the Ameri-
m proaucts are now being exported.
Frith but few exceptions, to every civilized
country on the globe.
Other countries possess remarkably few
factories (as we use the term) devoted ex
clusively to the manufacture of spectacles
and eyeglasses. In the place of these they
have so-called shops, where wires, end
pieces, bridges and bows are furnished, in
tne cruae state, to neoDle who takp them
to their dwellings,' where as many of the
family as are abl? man. woman, bov or
I girl work these various parts Into frames.
Having done this, they return them to the
shops, where lenses are fitted and the
sqtods are packed ready for the market.
Thus It can be readily seen that the
standard of accuracy or uniformity cannot
Toe very nign wnere all classes of people
amid all kinds of surroundings, and under
all kinds of circumstances, do all or many
Klnae or woric The results 6how the
worthlessnees of theJr system. Never have I
they been able to produce a comtriete line
of interchangeable spectacles and eye-.
glasses, wiucn so facilitate tne making
and buying of our goods.
THE VATICAN'S REPLY.
Delivered to Judge Taft, Who For
wards to Washington.
ROME, July 9. The answer of the Vat
ican to the note of Governor Tatt r.nvr.
nor of the Philippines, concerning reli-
B'uua auairs in tne archipelago, which
was handed to Cardinal Rampolla, papal
secretary of state, July 3, was delivered
to Judge Taft at a lite hour tonight. As
the Vatican's repry is in French, it is
being translated by Bishop O'Gorman, of
Sioux Falls, S. D.. and Major Porter, of
the office of the Judge Advocate-General
of the Army. It will be telegraphed to
Washington tonight.
The Vatican's answer to Judge-Taf t fol
lows: The contract, which the Vatican pro
poses shall be signed by both parties,
comprises 12 articles. The first article
says the Philippine Government is to buy
the lands of the four religious orders
concerned, the Holy See acting as inter
mediary. The second article describes
what are the agricultural lands to be
bought. The third article says that if
MADE A CAPTIVE
JOHN ANDERSON.
SEATTLE, July 0. Herewith Is reproduces a photograph of John Anderson, tho
man Convict Tracy made accompany him on leaving Port Madison last Satur
day, and who was his unwilling companion until last night, when he' was found
tied down at tho Gerrells home, near Ronton, and rescued by the posse. The ter
rible experiences to which Anderson was subjected were fully related In these dis
patches yesterday. Today he appears little the worse for the trying ordeal, he
passed through.
4- -
some of these lands are possessed by cor
porations, the friars will sell their share.
The fourth article establishes a tribunal
of arbiters, to be composed of five mem
bers, two of whom are to be chosen by
the Vatican, two by the Philippine Gov
ernment, and the fifth member by the
other four. In case of disagreement as to
the fifth member, he shall bo chosen, in
common accord, by the pope and Pres
ident Roosevelt The fifth article pro
vides that the work of the arbiters shall
begin January 1. 1903. The sixth article
refers to title deeds. These will be trans
ferred to the Philippine Government. Ar
ticle seven sets forth that payment is to
be made in Mexican dollars In the period
of time proposed by Judge Taft In his
note of July 3. Interest during the period
of payment accruing at 4 per cent.
Article eight deals with the transfer to
the church of ancient crown lands with
ecclesiastical buildings on them. The
ninth article proposes amicable accord
in the matter of existing charitable or
educational trusts which are In dispute.
In the event of falling to agree In these
matters, recourse is to be had to the
same arbiters to whom will also be sub
mitted the case of the medical college of
San Jose, at Manila. The tenth article
provides for arbitration as to the indem
nity the United States shall pay for the
ecclesiastical buildings used during the
war in the Philippines. According to the
eleventh article, expenses of the tribunal
of arbiters Is to be paid by the Philippine
Government. Article 12 declares that the
Holy See shall use all Its influence for
the pacification of the Philippine Islands
and in favor of their adhesion to the es
tablished government, and that It shall
prevent all political opposition on the part
of the clergy, both regular and secular.
The answer of the vatinan Is compiled,
In the order of Judge Taffs note of July
3. First comes the note, which says that
all the studies of the Vatican were centered
to render more clear, more precise and
definite the conditions between the Holy
Seo and the Philippine Government In
fact, the note begs, if something further
with this intention be proposed, that it be
freely expressed, adding that It would be
considered with great pleasure. The In
troduction proceeds In this tone until It
comes to the question of the recall of the
friars. It then says the Vatican cannot
accept the proposition to recall the friars
within the fixed period. Such recall not
being justified by reasons of force ma
jeure. It would be contrary to the rights
guaranteed by the treaty of Paris, and
would put the Holy See in conflict with
Spain. It asks:
"If the United States cannot order the
withdrawal of the friars, how can tho
pope do so, especially when It has been
proved that all tho accusations made
against them were partly false, partly ex
aggerated and partly Inexact?"
However, the Vatican promises that It
will try to Introduce Into the Philippines
clergy of other nationalities, especially
Americans, gradually, as they are found
adapted to the purpose. The note agrees
that the friars shall not return to the par
ishes they left, and where their presence
could provoke trublc. The no'te ends by
saying that the pope Is willing that the
school question In the Philippines be not
Insisted upon now, but that IfCs holiness
hopes that his representatives in Manila
may have an understanding with Judge
Taft on this point, which l.s of c?4nltal
Importance in a country almost exclusive
ly Catholic.
Solution of Frlnr Qncntlon.
DETROIT, July 9. The Tribune pub
lishes this morning an open letter from
James A. Lcroy. ex-secretary to Dean C
Worcester, of the Philippine Commission,
in which the writer, who has recently
returned to his home in Pontlac. Mien.,
makes a detailed analvsis nf tho trior
lands question. He holds that the pur-
cnase or tne lanus Dy the United Spates
would be onlv a nartlal solution nf tho
troubles, and intimates that the only solu
tion lies in tne direction of the Catholic
church taking the native priesthood toy
the hand and educating and encouraging
the Filipino priests as the only spiritual
advisers in whom the native would re
pose confidence.
ANOTHER VICTORY FOR HAY
SECRETARY INDUCES THE POWERS
TO EVACUATE TIEN TSIN.
China's Appeals to the United States
"Were Not In Vain Canal Treaty
3Iay Be Signed in a Wcelc.
WASHINGTON, July 9. Secretary
Hay's prompt action upon tlie appeal of
tho Chinese Government, through Yuan
Shi Kai and Minister Wu. relative to the
evacuation of Tien Tsln, has met with
success. The foreign Ministers who have
stood in the way of evacuation will re
ceive instructions from their home gov
ernments, and although one or two minor
points remain to be adjusted, it Is be
lieved that Tien Tsln will soon be turned
over to the Chinese authorities.
Secretary Hay, doubting whether any
thing could be accomplished directly
through the diplomats at Pekln, though
action there had been contemplated, de
cided to address himself directly to the
governments Interested In the Chinese
question and maintaining forces in Tien
RY CONVICT TRACY.
Tsln. This was done through the Amer
ican Ambassadors and Ministers resident
at the various European -courts and at
Toklo. Answers have been received from
nearly all of these. The -latest to come
to hand today were from France and
Germany, and quite unexpectedly, they
have all proved to be favorible to the
XTnlted StateF contention. The powers
are now agreed to Instruct their Generals
at Tien Tsln to abandon the condition
sought to be imposed as a precedent to
evacuation, that, save the small police
force of 300 men, the Chinese mllltary
forces must be kept at a distance of not
less that 30 kilometers from Tien Tsln.
Although "Hhere were some other objec
tionable features In the agreement which
the Generals required from the Chinese,
they were of comparatively little import
ance in the Chinese mind compared to
this condition as to the position of the
Chinese troops, and as this obstacle has
been removed, a speedy conclusion Is ex
pected of the Tien Tsln negotiations.
PANAMA CANAL TREATY.
Negotiations Opened nnd Convention
May De Signed in a Week.
WASHINGTON, July 9. Final negotia
tions for the close of the definite treaty
between the United States and Colom
bia, which is to authorize the construc
tion of the Panama Canal, began at the
State Department today, at a meeting
between Secretary Hiy and Mr. Crom
well, representing the Panama Canal
Company and the Colombian Legation
here. At the same time. In order that
the settlement of the legal questions con
nected with the transfer of the canal
company's property to this Government
might run on concurrently with the diplo
matic settlements between the United
States and Colombia, Mr. Cromwell, at
Secretary Hay's Instance, laid b.efore the
Department of Justice all the papers In
his possession calculated to assist the
Attorney-General in his work in settling
the title. After conferring verbally with
Mr. Cromwell, Secretary Hay turned over
to him a mass of papers, which the Con
sul examined carefully.
While a definite conclusion was not
reached today, it is stated that a distinct
advance was made toward the end. Some
correspondence must be had with the
Colombian Government, but this can be
done by cable, and It Is believed that the
treaty can be signed within a week.
Mr. Concha, the Colombian Minister
here, has received advices from his gov
ernment which Mr. Cromwell transmit
ted to the State Department, to the ef
fect that the Colombian Government had
decided to appoint a nonpartisan com
mittee to rearrange the electoral and
provincial districts of Colombia, and It
was believed that the way being clear for
new elections, the Congress could be
elected and assembled within the next
four months and the body could proceed
at once to ratify the canal treaty which
Is to be concluded here. It Is inferred
from this statement that an arrangement
has been reached between the Colombian
Conservative party and the Liberals
which will terminate the revolution which
has now lasted for more than two years.
Charles W. Russell, the special attorney
of the Department of Justice, who has
been delegated to proceed to Paris to ex
amine the title of the new Panama Canal
Company, left here this afternoon for At
lantic City, where he will hold a final con
sultation with Attorney-General Knox.
Judge Russell expects to start within a
week for France.
AT SAGAMORE HILL.
Members of Cabinet Will Visit Presi

OYSTER DAY. L. L. July 9. It was
announced by the President that no In
formation in respect to appointments
would be made public from Oyster Bay.
All appointments as heretofore will be
announced from Washington. The Presi
dent todny spent the entire morning In
"his library with Secretary Cortelyou, dis
posing of hls mail.
President Roosevelt hae informally In
vited the members of his Cabinet to visit
him at his Sagamore Hill home. It is un

derstood that they wilt avail themselves of
.the opportunity to come to Oyster Bay at
their own and the President's convenience.
It Is expected that Secretary Root will be
one of the first to come, and it Is not un
likely that he may arrive In a few days.
The President Is keeping In close touch
with departmental affairs In Washington,
and almost hourly during the day is in
communication with members of the Cabi

After clearing much routine business, the
President devoted his time to out-of-door

REFUNDING OF TAXES.
Treasury Department Regulations
Under New Philippine Law.
WASHINGTON, July 9,-pThe new Phil
ippine civil government act provides that
all taxes paid upon articles subject to In
ternal revenue tax shipped to tne Philip
pines since November 15, 1901, under the
decision of the Secretary of the. Treasury
of that date shall be refunded to the
parties who have paid the same under
regulations prescribed by the Secretary of
the Treasury- Those regulations were is
sued today by the Treasury Department
They provide:
"Claims shall be prepared upon a form
issued by the Commissioners of Internal
Revenue for the funding of taxes, known
as form 46, and shall be made under oath.
Tho character of the goods shipped, the
date of the shipment the amount of taxes
paid thereon, the name of tho vessel and
the name of the port to which shipped
should be stated lh the body of the claim.
The claims should be supported, where
possible, by clearance certificates and by
an affidavit of the consignee showing that
the goods were actually received at a
port in the Philippines. Where neither
clearance certificates nor the affidavit of
.the consignee can be obtained. It will be
"necessary for the claimant to obtain the
affidavit of the master of the vessel upon
which the goods were shipped, showing
what disposition was made of the goods."
The principal articles upon which taxes
will be refunded are whisky, beer and
other vinous spirits and malt liquors, and
tobacco. No estimate of the amount of
money which will be refunded has been
made at the Treasury Department but It
is supposed that It will aggregate several
millions.
Correspondents at Joint Maneuvers.
WASHINGTON, July 9. Up to this time
the War and Navy Department officials
have considered but two factors In the
coming Joint Army and Navy maneuvers
on the Atlantic Coast In September the
invading and defending forces. Now, ac
cording to the plans of Secretary Moody,
there Is to be a third factor, the press ot
the United States. The object of the ma
neuvers is to simulate as closely as poa
slblo ways of actual warfare, and the Sec
retary believes that as the press plays
such an Important part In real war. It
should be seriously considered In connec
tion with the maneuvers. Therefore, he
contemplates throwing the press corre
spondents upon their own resources,
meanwhile having both Invaders and de
fenders regard the newsgnthcrers as a
common "enemy," and endeavoring to
mask the movements of their forces as
much as possible from the public. It is
not believed that Secretary Moody's plan
will be to prevent the news organlzatlora
from chartering their own vessels and
keeping up with the fleets at sea as test
they may, for this was done In the late
Spanish-American War.
Buffalo Warden for Yellowstone.
WASHINGTON, July 9. Charles G.
Jones, popularly known as "Buffalo
Jones," was appointed Buffalo Warden to
day for Yellowstone Park. Mr. Jones has
devoted much attention to the preserva
tion of the American bison, nnd was
largely Instrumental in obtaining an ap
propriation In the last session of Con
gress for the establishment of a Govern
ment buffalo ranch In Yellowstone Park.
This establishment will "be In Mr. Jones'
charge.
Destroyer Paul Jones zt Success.
WASHINGTON, July 9. The' .Navy De

OREGON WELL DESERVES IT

nn joj laoilaii s4oajJixntnoo osnoH
WASHINGTON. July 3. The report on
Representative Moody's bill for nn assay
office at Baker City, made by Chairman
Southard, of the coinage committee, reads
as follows:
"From figures presented to your com
mittee, compiled by the ofilcers of the
Government charged with the duty. It was
shown that during the year ending De
cember 31, 1900, the production of gold and
silver In the State of Oregon amounted
to 51.S9S.613 17. It was also admitted by
the officers aforesaid that this report did
not show the total production of the state,
and that It was exceedingly conservative.
The production for the current year end
ing December 31, 1902. and for the year
ending December 31, 1901. will show that
the production of the state will be con
siderably In excess of $2,003,000 for each
year. The production or gold alone in the
State of Oregon since the first discovery
of that metal In 1S61 to the year 1S99 has
amounted to. In round numbers, 5110.000,000.
A table Is appended hereto, showing the
total production of gold and silver In the
state from 1S77 to 1E93, as well as the an
nual output during that period.
"A state having so large a production
of gold and silver Is entitled to have an
assay olllce In Its borders, so located as to
be of the greatest benefit to the Individual
miner, mining companies, and the mining
districts. This Is particularly true where
there Is so large a percentage of the metal
found, as Is the case In Oregon, that 13
placer gold and free-milling ore of both
gold and silver, which finds It way quickly
to an assay office without the Intervention
of smelters or other reduction works.
"Your committee was unable to secure
reliable data as to the output of gold and
silver In the different counties of Oregon
for the year 1900. for the reason that the
Government reports do not furnish the
production of the state by counties for
that year. For the calendar year of 1S39,
however, the counties In Eastern Oregon
immediately tributary to Baker City pro
duced the following amounts in values
of gold and silver:
County . Amount.
Baker ; 637,766 12
Grant . S03.6S0 53
Malheur 11,612 51
Union 133.678 22
Wallowa 4.1SS 67
Crook and Wheeler, estimated.. 30.000 00
Total ........$1,120 92G 5
The following table shows- the amount
of bullion deposited in assay offices from
the mines in Eastern Oregon:
Boise City. Idaho 5 730.S16 76
Denver. Colo 1.245 06
Helena, Mont 20515 91
Seattle, Wash 361S 03
Total 5 756,195 79
"As shown above, the total production
of Eastern Oreirnn in cold nnd :llvr In
1&99 was 51.120.9:6 05. and the total pro
duction of the state for the same year
was 51.635.310 32. leaving 5531,390 27, or less
than one-third, for the production of
Western Oregon.
"Baker City, Or., has a population of
7500, and Is a rapidly growing and thriving
city, now third In the state In impdrtance.
It Is reached from the East over the Union
Pacific, Oregon Short Line. -and Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company rail
ways. It is the distributing point for 10.
000 souare miles of mining, agricultural
and stockraislng country.

mentioned, the Sumpter Valley Railroad
extends westward from Baker City Into
the great mining and lumbering sections
FOILED DEATH
Doctors Told Mrs. Wake That She
Was Doomed to Quick Con
sumption Cured By Dr.
Williams Pink Pills.
To He at the point of death for
months, to be told by the physician that
there is no hope of recovery, and then
to be restored to health and strength
by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People, was the experience of Mrs. W.
H. Wake, of No. 84 Broad street, Rah
Tivay, N. J. To' look at her now one
would think it hardly possible that she
had ever had a serious illness. Speaking-
of it she says:
"About three years ago I was n a
condition generally known as run-down.
I was miserable Indeed; lifeless and
languid. I had no strength at all, all
desire for food had left me, I was ter
ribly nervous, and could not sleep.
What was worse, I did not Improve,
and my weight went down from 135
pounds to 95. I was under the care of
a physician for 13 months, but still I
grew worse. He said my blood had
almost turned to water. I was so weak
that I was obliged to lie down all the
time; if I tried to stand or even to sit
up, I would faint away.
"Finally the doctor told me that un
less I began to get better within two
weeks, I was doomed to quick consump
tion. Then I gave up all hope.
"But about this time a friend, who
knew something of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale Peoople, advised me to
try them. I did so, and, after taking
the third box, I began to feel better. I
continued using them 'faithfully until
I was cured. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People are a wonderful remedy
for persona, afflicted as I was, and I
shall always recommend them."
The disease from which Mrs. Wake
suffered was aenemla. It is character
ized by a pallid complexion, pale lips,
dull eyes, tongue and gums bloodless,
shortened breath on slight exertion
such as going upstairs; palpitation of
the heart, feeling of impending death,
weakness, loss of appetite and ambition,
irregularity and pain in the natural
functions of women.
The cne remedy that has proved itself
a specific for aenemia Is Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. They are
sold at 50 cent9 a box or six boxes for
52 50, and may be had of all druggists
or direct by mail from Dr. Williams
Jvedlclne Company. Schenectady. N. Y.
of the Blue Mountains, and plans are on
foot to extend It 100 miles farther during
the present season Into the rich terrltory
of Grant and Harney Counties. An or
ganization has recently been effected and
a company. capitalized for 52.CO0.000 for the
building of another road from Baker City
Into the copper districts lying to the east
nnd north, penetrating the free-gold re
gion and terminating near Ballards Land
ing, on Snake River. This will open up
a country teeming with all the precious
metals, particularly gold and silver, and
copper. Stage lines now run from Baker
City to connect with the flourishing min
ing camps In the surrounding districts.
Baker City, so Important both as a mining
and a commercial center, has no public
buildings for any purpose, and your com
mittee has no doubt but that the building
provided for In this bill may be so con
structed as to serve the double purpose
of a building for an assay office and a
postonlce, thus realizing a saving to the
Government In rent for postofllce purposes.
"Baker City Is near the geographical
center of a territory 100 miles square
highly charged with the choicest elements
of mineral wealth, and particularly of gold
and sliver. In his report to the Interior
Department, for the Geological Survey. In
1893, Professor Waldemnr Llndgren has
the following to say of the mining district
of which Baker City Is the center:
As to this district, I have not the slightest
doubt that values will continue In depth to a
point to which no modern mechanical appliance
can operate a ralno with profit. In other words,
there Is practically no limit to the values here.
I believe this district has a future second to no
mining cam? In America. It has a splendid
climate, and wood and water are here In Inex
haustible quantities. It Is reached by railroad
and has no hardships compared with those In
other camps.
Baker City Is the most central point
to which this great mining district is trib
utary. Portland Is situated 350 miles
away, and the distance to other important
commercial centers are even greater.
"Enough has been said to show beyond
controversy that Baker City Is the ideal
location for an assay office within tho
State of Oregon. It Is easy of access, and,
in the very midst of one of the largest
gold-producing districts In the country,
which produces so large a share of gold
and silver bullion ready for deposit at an
assay efficc.
"A quotation from a letter of the Di
rector of the Mint addressed to a member
of Congress will Illustrate the point last
mentioned very clearly:
The Rold production of the Black Hills is In
the neighborhood of 50,000,000 per annum, but
the de?olts at the asaj ofllco at Deadwood
have never reached 5400.0CO in a year. The
gold production of the State of Xevada In 10GO
was over 52.000.000, but the deposits at the
assay o31ce In Carson City was pnly about
?250.000.
"It is clear that the reason for the small
deposits In the ofilces referred to arises
from the fact that the gold and silver
found in the districts mentioned Is not
placer or free-milling, but must be sent
to a smelter, which makes Its charges and
sends Its. product directly to the mints.
'As was shown In the table, nearly 5SO0.O00
of the gold and silver production of East
ern Oregon was deposited at assay offices.
This amount deposited at Raker City
would make It at once one of the most
important offices of the kind In the coun
ty, and Is reason sufficient for Its location
there.
A small proportion of the present pro
duction of Eastern Oregon of gold and
silver is not free-milling, but must be, sent
to reduction works at different localities.
This amount will Increase, no doubt, and.
In fact. Is rapidly Increasing, so that ar
rangements have been completed for the
erection of a smelter at Sumpter, some 50
miles from Baker City.
"The erection of this smelter would but
add to the Importance of the Bake'r City
apsay office, for the reason that the bullion
from this smelter, when In operation,
would find Its natural resting place there.
In and around Baker City, and directly
tributary to It, are more than SOOO devel
oping mines and prospects, and the great
production of gold and silver which has
been characteristic of the past bids fair
to be doubled in a very 3hort time. The
district has the advantage of being a
steady producer, as well as a growing one.
and, the need of an assay office Is appar
ent, ana by the passage of this bill the
office will be located where It will be of
tlje greatest benefit to the greatest number
of tohse directly interested."
