VERDICT OF MURDER
Josephine Jury Finds Gibson
Fuliy Guilty.
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.

TWO CROOKS ARRESTED.
Had Property Taken From Vnrloni
Salem Houses.
SALEM, Or.. July 20. The police at 4
o'eflock this morning chased two suspicious
strangers and arrested them. They were
found to have skeleton keys, and were
loaded with bottled whisky, cigars, a new
razor and five silver watches, evidently
stolen. The whisky -was found to have
been taken from J. P. Rogers' saloon and
the cigars from George Stutesman's cigar
house, a skeleton key having been used to

was later recovered by the officers. It is
believed the men are two expert crooks.

Rear-Admiral Has Good Opinion of
British An Anecdote.
NEW YORK. July 20. Rear-Admiral
John C. 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."

BIQ LEDGE OF NICKEL
CUT BY BUTCHERKXIFE CREEK IX
JOSEPHINE COUXTY.
Ore Contains Xlckel Pyrites, Gold I
and Copper Largest Body in
Southern Oregon.
GRANTS PASS, July 20. (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.

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. A new hoist, capable of sinking a
shaft 150o feet, Is to be put In as soon as
the machinery and other material can be
got on the grounds.

ALL IS WELL FOR HOPS
"WEATHER FAVORABLE FOR CROP
AXD THE PRICE IS RIGHT.
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. If

this be true the growers seem in a fair
way for once to profit by the manipula
tions of the dealers. 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. It Is said that

"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. Everybody
that is familiar with the situation knows
that had McKinley lived. General Corbln
would have been selected, and the proba
bilities are that If Secretary Root con
trols in the "War Department, as he has
been doing since Roosevelt became Pres
ident, Corbln will be selected, with pos
sibly an arrangement by which Young
and Chaffee will receive the honor before
their retirement. Root wants Corbln for
the place In order to make a demonstra
tion In favor of his bill creating a Lieutenant-General
as chief of Staff. Although
Miles has been the "Major-General and
Lieutenant-General commanding," since
President Cleveland's term, everybody
knows that in all practical workings of
the department Corbln has been In com
mand of the Army, under the President
and Secretary of War, since he was ap
pointed Adjutant-General. If he became
Lieutenant-General he would continue
practically as chief- of staff, which Is the
foundation of Secretary Root's plan.
Roosevelt did not feel very kindly toward
Corbln wht-n he became President. The
two had clashed while Roosevelt was In
the service during the Spanish War, but
the probabilities are Secretary Root has
changed the President's opinion, and Cor
bln Is viewed by the Chief Executive in a
different light.

Only at the Brewery in St. Louis,
dock, the steamer Harbor Queen had just
pulled in with a moonlight picnic party,
and Mr. Loy attempted to board the
steamer, Instead of rowing around to the
landing stage. A pet dog he had in the
boat climbed up on the gunwale and made
a leap for the steamer, his weight and the
sudden spring capsizing the small craft
and throwing both Mr. and Mrs. Loy into
the swiftly running stream. Fortunately
the crew of the steamer heard their cries
and after considerable difficulty succeed
ed in getting both of them out of the
water and on board the steamer. It was
then discovered that Mr. Loy, In his at
tempt to extricate his wife from the over
turned boat, had broken hi3 left leg Just
below the knee, and he was more dead
than alive when rescued. He wae taken
at once to the Aberdeen General Hos
pital, where his injury was attended to.
Mrs. Loy escaped with a drenching. The
dog was found dead under the capsized
boat when it was hauled out later by tho
crew of the Harbor Queen.
