RATHER HANG THAN BE RETRIED "S'clghbors barreled Over Bonndary Line and Depredations of Stoclc One Slevr Other, and Is Now Himselt a "Wreck. GRANT'S PASS, July 20. (Special.) The jury returned a verdict of murder in the first degree in the Gibson case at a late hour last night, after being out several hours. R. G. Smith, of this city, and L. TMveu. of Eusene. the attorneys for the defense, will move for a new trial. The crime for which Gibson Is convict ed was committed last April. He and his nearest neighbor, John Schonbacheler, quarreled over the matter of the dividing line between their farms, and about Gib son's stock, which Schonbacheler alleged was allowed to run at large over his fields. These disagreements led up to a standing feud, resulting in the killing of Schon bacheler one evening by Gibson. Gibson was tried at the April term of court, but the jury was unable to agiee on a ver dict. The case was again taken up last Monday, and occupied the attention of the court all of last week. The courtroom was jammed with an interested crowd every hour of the trial. There were a number of relatives and acquaintances here from the vicinity of Eugene, Gib son's old home. Since his confinement Gibson has become a physical wreck. Several times during his trial he fell In a swoon to the floor, and a physician was called in to revive him. At other times he would wall and cry out aloud In his anguish. He has a wife and two young children, who were in the courtroom throughout the trial. When told by the Sheriff this morning that the jury had returned a verdict of murder in the first degree, the condemned man eald he would rather be hanged and have it all over with than to endure the suspense of awaiting a new trial. The verdict of the jury created consid erable surprise in Grant's Pass, and many expressed the opinion that it was too se vere. The crime of Gibson was not cold blooded. Schonbacheler had threatened his life on a number of occasions. Tho case Is the mest important that has at tracted the attention of the Josephine Circuit Court for many years. TERMS OF THAT SETTLEMENT. Committee Frames a Much-Belated Report Sujrsentlon for Connxel. OREGON CITY, July 20. (Special.) Since the settlement of the strike against the Portland City & Oregon Railway Com pany, now the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company, the committees from this city and Milwaukle which negotiated a satisfactory adjustment of the difficulty between the company and Its employes, have been frequently requested by the general public to make a statement of the terms of settlement, which have not here tofore been clearly set forth. Several days ago the committee from Oregon City went to work to formulate such a statement for publication, which was completed this morning and taken to Milwaukle by Hon. W. S. U'Ren and Mayor G. B. DImick for the signatures of the members of the Milwaukle committee. The statement Is signed by the committee Trom this city, TV. S. U'Ren. G. B. Dimick, M. Michael, William Andresen, Charles Albright and George A. Harding, and by the committee from Milwaukle, J. A- Dowllng. C. K. Bal- lard and J. H. Gibson, and is as follows: The result of the strike was not a victory for either side, concessions being made by both parties. Mr. Morris, the corporation treasurer, took the company's aide of the case In his own hands, holding the Just and common-sense view that bis company was not seeking to win a battle or tain a victory, but simply to do right, and that any Just cause of complaint, either by the workmen or the officers, would be removed. If possible. Mr. Morris stated that his office was always open, and that he was always ready to hear and redress any Just complaint on the part of employes, whether officers or workmen, and, whether presented by Individuals or committees, and, further, that no discrimination would ever bo made against such men In his employ. Messrs. Dlmlck, Workman, West, Nendel and Rob erts, of the union cbmmlttee, were equally reasonable on behalf of the employes. Some eald that If Mr. Morris views had been under stood In the beginning, and they had dealt directly with him, they thought there would have been no strike. It was finally agreed that no one should be refused employment or discriminated against In any way on account of the strike or the grievance, or its presentation by the commit tee. There was objection to not exceeding Ave men, but not on account of their part lu the 6i Ike or committee or union work. These men were not named publicly, but every' man at the meeting of the union said that If he was one of the Ave he would not stand In the way sf a settlement, but would take his clearance card, which would be freely given by the company. Mr. Morris said the train dispatcher had resigned some time ago. which they agreed it moved that question from consideration. The men agreed not to press their complaint against the superintendent. The only question remain ing was the relative ranking of the old motor men and conductors with those who were not members of the union and did not go out, and the new men. This was comparatively a email matter, and It was agreed that, with Mr. Mor ris' Influence. It should be bo arranged that the old employes should have practically the same numbers as at the beginning of the trou ble. AH parties present seemed to be very much pleased with the settlement, and our commit tee trusts that the spirit of fairness shown by Mr. Morris will aid In making a friendly feel ing between the corporation and its patrons. in conclusion, we suggest to organized labor and organized emploei that If they will re spectfully ask for a conference and Investiga tion of their demands when there is a differ ence, before presenting an ultimatum, they may often reach a peaceable settlement that Is just to both parties; but where notice Is served that certain demands must be compiled with before a fixed date. It shuts off any chance of investigation or agreement, and leaves no room for anything but Industrial war. We also suggest that If the aggrieved party presenting the claim will employ counsel be fore the difficulty reaches an acute stage, as they would In other business matters of equal Importance, instead of waiting until both sides are weary of contest. It might often help to avoid trouble, as well as great loss and incon venience to the subllc. At no time in several years past have there been such pleasant relations existing between the employee and the officers ot the company as at present. The operation of the road is being carried on in an en tirely harmonious manner, and this satis factory condition of affairs seems more than likely to continue. RUSH FOR XEW TOWXSHJP.

Watson, who went abroad to at tend the coronation of King Edward, re turned today on the steamship St. Louis. He was accompanied by his son and Com mander W. S. Cowles, whom he took with him as junior and senior aids, respective ly. Mrs. Cowles also was of the party. The Admiral said he was struck with the calm way in which the English people took the news of the King's Illness, and added that he thought they were a well balanced race. "I was disappointed at not meeting tne navy officers of Great Britain," he said, "but they were so taken up with business connected with the illness of the King that they had no time for anything else. Special Ambassador Whltelaw Reid told me just before I left that he would re turn in July. Ambassador Choate's speech at the Fourth of July dinner in London showed. I think, admirable taste. Theo dore Richard Grenfell said he was much pleased at being chosen to make the toast wishing President Roosevelt his good health. Lord Grenfell asked me to Intro duce him to General Wheeler, who was present at the dinner, which I did. and It afterward developed that an uncle ot Lord Grenfell was on the General's staff during the Civil War."

(Special.) A. H. Ramsey and W. A. Ingram, two miners of this city, have discovered a lanse nickel ledge In the mountain region of Butcherknlfe Creek, In Western Josephine County. The ledge has a -width of 100 feet and over and is exposed for more 4han 200 feet up either wall of Butcher knife Creek, at the point where that stream cuts through it. A quantity of rock from the discovery has been brought Into this city. It is pronounced nickel pyrites by mineralogists who have made an examination of the samples. The quartz resembles brass In weight and luster. It has a pinkish tint and Is of remarkable brilliancy. There Is no doubt that the predominating value of the rock Is nickel, the remaining values are gold and copper. The newly discovered vein Is one of the biggest bodies of ore ever uncovered in .Southern Oregon. It occupies a mountain ous region, cut by deep canyons and gulches. Serpentine is the predominating formation. The whole district is highly mineralized. In past years It was but hurriedly run over In a prospecting way. Granite Hill Mines. The new machinery recently installed at the Granite Hill mines of the Louse Creek district has been started up and Is now in full operation. The Granite Hill properties are undergoing a development that promises to make them the most ex tensive in Southern Oregon. The Granite Hill. High Tariff. Red Jacket ond Jumbo ledges all belong to the Granite Hill group and are being systematically opened up. A flve-stamp mill Is kept In constant opera tion to defray the expense of development. The quartz worked is giving returns of $25 to $300 per ton. The Red Jacket mine is opened to a depth of 300 feet by tunnel and drifts, by which five distinct veins three to five feet in width, are exposed. The quartz of these veins runs ?25 to ?500 per ton. The Granite Hill ledge Is opened to a depth of 100 feet by a shaft following the dip of the vein. At this depth the ledge shows a width of eight feet. Three new ledges carrying good values have been uncovered and are being developed. The Granite Hill Mining Company is a close corporation and has no stock on the market. The 500 acres of mineral land owned by it occupies one of the most high ly mineralized districts in Southern Ore gon. Two hundred and forty acres of this is placer land. The company operates a large hydraulic mine, the placers occupy ing the auriferous bed of an ancient river. The gold produced is largely coarse, '.the Granite Hill mines are on the. same min eral "belt as is the noted Victor, Junior, which lies eight miles north, and Is In the immediate district of the Baby, Oro Fino, Klondike and Gopher mines. The Granite Hill Company expects to put in an extensive plant and work the group of mines as one big quartz property. SAXD GLITTERS WITH GOLD. Rich Placer Basin 80 Miles South of Grant's Pass. ABERDEEN, July 20. (Special.) M. E. Horr, a prominent mining man of this city, returned yesterday from Del Norte County, California, with some of the richest samples of gold-bearing placer sand and quartz specimens that have ever been seen In these parts. Mr. Horr was sent down by some of the principal busi ness men here to expert the properties owned by the Elkhorn Mining Company, and when his report was submitted yes terday, together with the samples he had brought back from the claims, all of the stock of the company that was for sale was quickly bought up by the parties In terested in the Investigation. The report made by Mr. Horr states that the 16 claims of the Elkhorn Company are lo cated about SO miles south of Grant's Pass, Or., It being necessary to "take the stage from that point to within three miles of the property, and to cover the remaining distance by trail. The placer ground Is formed by an immense basin, walled In by the mountains, and the black sand In this cavity glitters with coarse flake gold, with nuggets up to an ounce in weight, running through It, and so easily worked that it can be shoveled Into the sluice-boxes. The quartz forma tions rise In well-defined ledges up from the sides of this basin, and the samples which Mr. Horr brought back with him. and which he says he broke off at ran dom with a prospector's pick, average over 510,000 per ton in gold. A big crew of men will be sent down on the property at once, with sufficient supplies to last through this season, It being the Intention of the stockholders here, who now con trol the property to develop it, and If It Is as reported by Mr. Horr, to erect machin ery to work it for all it will produce. GOLD OX SXAKE RIVER BARS. One Clenn-Vp "Will Exceed ?10,00O Sale of a Mine. BAKER CITY, July 20. (Special.) Placer mining on the Snake River Is proving vers profitable in some places this season. j.nis is especially true of tne Sturglll bar, owned by Reed, Boblnette & Co. The gold Is very coarse and there Is plenty of It. The clean-up for the sea son Is estimated at not less than $10,000. and It may reach 515,000. There Is every Indication of a good coal mine in Idaho, near Huntington. James Woods and his partners are working on a seam which, while It did not promise much at first, has now opened out until it is eight feet thick. The coal taken from this measure Is used In several of the blacksmith shops at Huntington, where it gives satisfaction. The work of develop ing the mine thoroughly Is now being pushed. The Big Producer group of mines, com prising 11 claims in the Alamo district, not far distant from the Red Boy mine, were sold yesterday to W. R. Eisenhour. of Spokane, for 515,000 cash. The new owner Intends to push the work of development on these claims, which is now well under way, until the entire group shall be opened up.

SpecnIationK an to the Motive for the Bear Market Belief in Fur ther Advance. SALEM, July 20. (Special.)-The weath er In Oregon during the last month has been exactly what the hopcrop has need ed. Aside from the heavy wind of last Monday, there has been nothing to injure the crop or retard Its growth. The late rains supplied an abundance of moisture, and now the hot weather 13 just what Is wanted to make the vines develop. There was a general fear that the warm weather following the rains would be favorable to the multiplication of hop lice, but Instead of remaining warm and moist, the weather became hot and dry, and Is the best possi ble agency for preventing an increase In the numbers of the pests. Whilethe heat has not yet served to kill the vermin. It has retarded their development, and gives the grower a good chance with his spray ing apparatus. To all appearances, the hopcrop Is now safe from any Injury ex cept possible rains Just before or during the picking season. Twenty cents seems to be the top of the market for contracting. At least, this price has been the highest offered for the last 10 days, and there is no indication that a further advance will take place very soon. At IS cents a number of deal ers were In the market for contracts, but when 20 cents was named all dropped ,out except Llllenthal Bros., who offered that figure. While a few contracts have been made in the last few days at 20 cents, the contracting business seems to be practi cally at a standstill. Apparently other dealers are of the opinion that Lilienthal Bros, have offered more than hops are really worth, or more than present condi tions indicate that they will be wrorth during the season, while growers, on the other hand, have become excited and be lieve they will get still more, when the hops are in the bale. At any rate, grow ers who still have their hops prefer to take chances on the. future price rather than contract at 20 cents. A few have in the last three or fourdays contracted a portion of their crops, so as to be certain of enough money to cover harvest ex penses, and will speculate on the balance. Hopgrowlng and hopdeallng have always been called a gamble, and the gains and losses promise to be great this season. Those growers who contracted at 10 and 11 cents stand to lose the difference be tween that price and 18 and 20 cents, which can now be obtained. The dealers who bought at the lower figure seem to be certain of realizing enormous profits. On the other hand, should the price drop back to 12 or 14 cents, and remain there, the dealers who have bought ut 20 cents, and the growers who failed to contract at that figure, would be among the losers In the game. Some of the dealers who are supposed to be among the short sellers say that Lll lenthal Bros, have made their contracts at 20 cents for the sole purpose of bulling the market, and thereby Increasing the value, of their holdings of 1001 hops, as well as 1902 hops held under contract.

The cry has been for years that the dealers bear the market and prevent the payment of prices war ranted by supply and demand. When the Oregon Hopgrowers' Association was or ganized, a few years ago. It was charged that dealers sold "short," and were then compelled to keep prices down In order to get out at the end of the season with a profit. H. J. Ottenheimer. agent for Lll lenthal Bros., was dubbed the "Prince of Short-Sellers." Circumstances would seem to Indicate that Ottenheimer's Interests are now against the short sellers, and, in a measure. Identical with those of the grower. To sell or not to sell. Is the question that the growers are up against, and those who still hold their hops are Inclined to answer In the negative, some of them pro fessing to believe that prices will go to 25 cents or better. If the market Is kept at Its present figure by the offer of Llllen thal Bros, to contract at 20 cents, the price would drop any time that firm saw fit to withdraw Its support. From the fact that large purchases have been made at 20 cents, growers have concluded that the price will not drop below that figure. DON'T CARE ABOUT RAILROADS. CongrcMfiloiinl Cnndtdntes and Gov ernor McBrlde's Policy. OLYMPIA. July 20.-(SpecIal.) An- In teresting political fight Is brewing in Thurston County on the question of In structing delegates to the state conven tion as to what course to pursue regarding Governor McBrlde's railroad policy. Thur ston County has a Congressional candi date In A. J. Falknor, of this city. Mr. Falknor's candidacy was announced In The Oregonian several months ago, and he has been working quietly ever since. When asked concerning the Governor's fight with the railroads, Mr. Falknor said today: What my friends and I are working for, and will continue to ask of the Republicans of this county, is an unqualified indorsement of my candidacy for Congress by the coming: county convention. We have no fight whatever on the Goernor or his railroad policies. That Is a matter for the delegation to the state conven tion to decide as appears expedient and right. We are opposed, however, to Instructlns the deleratea to work for a commission bill plank la the state platform, and we are equally op posed to any expression by our county conven tion against such plank. What I aek of tha convention here Is that they give me a dele gation as untrammeled as the delegation King County has given Mr. Humphrey. The rail road question is one that should be left to the delegation to decide, and If It shall con clude to support the Governor's policy in the state convention, then I thall be fully satis fled; or if it should decide to oppose that pol icy. I shall not complain. To Insure the best work toward my success ful nomination, the delegation from Thurston County should be pledged to my Interests, and my interests only, and with such a delegation at my back I will not fear for the result. This Is what other counties are giving their candidates for similar nominations. Word received recently from my friends throughout the southwest have given me the greatest en couragement, and I shall assuredly be in the fight to the end. It is said that a course similar to this will be adopted In their respective coun ties by all the other candidates for Con gressional nomination.

"Will Corhln Succeed Miles; OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. "WASH INGTON, July 16. Again discussion has been started as to who will be Lleuten-ant-General to succeed Miles.
