DAIRYING, MINING,
SOME OBSERVATIONS ON THESE THREE INDUS
TRIES JUST SOUTH OF THE OREGON LINE.
SMITH RIVER, Cal., Oct 26. (Special
correspondence.) When a farmer here
milks hie cows and takes the butter to
his otvn creamery. It Is called a "dairy,"
although he may be milking 200 cows as
do Mr. Cadra and Mr. Packard; but If
tho milk from cows owned by different
individuals Is brought In each day and
manufactured Into butter. It is called a
"creamery." There aro three creameries
In Iel Xorte County, and twenty or
more -dairies. In the dairies some use
the old fashioned method of setting the
milk in shallow pans, while others have
an engine and separator, the number of
cows milked ranging from five up to as
high as 200. The butter, when made Into
squares, Is packed in butter boxes rang
ing about 120 pounds and shipped to
San Francisco by steamer and sold by
commission merchants. The three cream
eries are located ne'ar Smith River Cor
ners, being named the Banner, the Cres
cent and the Fort Dick creameries.
The breeds of ccrws mostly preferred
are the Jersey and Durham, or a cross
breed of the two. The milking season
lasts about nine months, and during the
three months of December, January and
February most of the dairies and cream
eries, close down.
It has often been stated that the annual
production of butter In Del 2?orte County
Is 1,000,000 pounds, ;whlch would mean
that there are about 5000 cows producing
ennually about 200 pounds of butter each.
The writer has Interviewed dairymen
who are -well-posted and their judgment
is that the annual production of butter
will not reach more than 750,000 poundB.
C F. .Riddle, foreman of the Banner
creamery, who also was several years
-with the Crescent creamery, gives It as
ills experience that the average annual
(production of tho cows in tho county Is
215 pounds of butter. There are others
'who place it as low as 200 pounds an
Inually. 3Xen Who Own Cotvs.
I In order to settle this question In the
snlnds Of residents In Del Norte County,
tand also abroad, I have attempted to ob
Italn the name of every dairyman In the
(county who milks more than 10 cows,
mnd as the list is of .interest to readers of
teie Oregonlan in many ways, I will give
at here.
Commencing at the Klamath 'river, on
the southern boundary of the county, we
(have: S. De Martin, milking 85 cows;
James He, 40; A. McDonald, 20; William
Fobs, 20: L. Green. 20; Phil Maher, 10;
kHenry Bl.ike, 35; H. K. Pilgrim, 10; C.
UFortle, 20; James Regan, 10; John Web
hier, 10; total, 255 cows.
In and around Crescent City are: J.
Alexander, 50; D. Griffin, 50; Ed Porter,
SO; J. Bertsch, S5; W. Watton, 65; J. C.
furcl, 25; John Miller, 75; J. McNamara,
: Theo. Miller. 35; R. Howland. 35; J.
juNichols. DO; .C. Gamboni, 75; J. Bush, 20;
H. 'Wler, 20; Breen Bros., 50; M. Goaca
imlni, 135; A. Carlson, 25; J. McLaugh
,'lin, 40. and Strain Bros., 75; total, 1055.
In and near Smith River Corners are:
George E. Tryon, 65; E. C. Cadra, 190;
"William D. Tryon, S3; John M. Tryon,
dOO; Frank Tryon, -15; A. Ulrich, 45; H.
estbrook, 145; William Westbrook, 160;
J. R. Packard, 200; James Goodlin, 60;
Joseph Maris, 45; P. Maas, 25; D. Haight,

Bram, 25; Bailey Bros., 75; A. L. Mor
rison, 20; Hlght Bros.. 45; R. Lake, 25;
Jacob Studer. 75; M. Matz, 100; C. Tryon,
35; W. C. Bailey, S5; John Robinson, 40,
and about 400 cows owned by persons
milking fewer than 10 cows; total, 2230.
Total for the whole county, 3570.
The work In a dairy Is exacting and
the hours are long, the cows being
milked at 4 o'clock In the morning and
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and It takes
from one to three hours to complete each
milking, depending upon tho number of
cows and how many men are employed.
Milkers are paid $35 and $40 a month and
board, and buttermakers higher wages.
During the Winter months the cows are
fed, and hay and corn fodder must be
raised during the Summer and stored for
winter use. Each cow has a regular
stall In the large barns, and a stanchion
Is dropped, which compels them to stand
thereuntil milking "of all that line of
cows Sa completed. It is Interesting to
see a hundred or so cows go Into a barn
and each one go to her proper place.
They are fed hay or grain while being
milked.
Method., of Batter Slaking:.
The milk Is collected in large stralner
trackets and carried. to a tank, which Is
covered -with strainer cloth, and is poured
in and. weighed, and" then goes into a
larger tank. From there it goes by grav
ity to the separators, -which are pro
pelled by steam or water power, and
separate the cream from the milk, the
cream going to the cream vats, where it
remains until it reaches the proper stage
for churning. It then goes to a large
churn, which is revolved by power, and,
when the butter "comes," is emptied into
a power or hand butter-worker. A but-ter-molder
and cutter next cuts It into
jequares weighing two pounds for "full
weight," or about one- and five-eighths
pounds for "short weight." It Is wrapped
in oiled paper, with the name of the
creamery printed on it, and packed In but
iter boxes for shipment. Butter Is also
jpacked In kegs and cubes (In boxes) and
cent to the city where It is placed In cold
,6torage and, when butter becomes scarce,
:1s taken out, cut into squares, wrapped
and sold, and is as fresh and delicately
flavored as when first made.
'Xho Banner creamery near hero, -was
fmlllt this year, and no expense was
epar.ed to make it a model creamery -In
every particular. It 'cost $9000, and the
stockholders are the dairymen in the val
ley, who are also Its patrons. The Cres
jcent and Fort Dick creameries are on
jthe same plan. The Banner creamery
was erected In 1902, and Is In charge of
C. F. Riddle. It is a well-constructed
building, erected especially for the pur
pose, 34x72, with an annex for the boiler
and engine. The -walls are about 12
inches thick, with double air space, and
consist of six courses of matched lumber,
and two thicknesses, of tarred paper, and
the partition walls and doors are eight
inches thick. There are four compart
ments: The receiving-room, the cooling
room, the storeroom and the engine
room. All have cement floors and side
walls from 12 xto IS Inches high, so that
everything can be washed clean each
day. The power Is from a 20 horse power
boiler to an eight horse power engine,
and a power pump for fire purposes, with
a water supply of 2000 gallons an hour.
There are two large separators, with ca
pacity of C000 pounds of milk, each, per
hour, and there Is a skimming station,
across Smith River, with 300 pounds
more capacity. The separators are oper
ated by steam turbines.
Sampling: Milk for Fat.
The milk Is taken In from, each farmer
and weighed, and samples taken out for
testing the butter fat. It is then run
into the milk tanks and goes thence to
the separator, the cream going to the
cooling-room and - the skim milk to a
tank in front of the building, where the
farmers get It and take It home to feed
hogs and caTves. . Any surplus of skimmed
milk is pumped a quarter of a mile away
to the hogs belonging to the creamery.
The milk-testing machine takes 24 sim
ples at once, which are placed in small,
long-necked bottles, and after acid has
been placed in the milk, it Is revolved in
the tester and in seven minutes a com
plete separation is made and the amount
cf butter fat is shown by a graduated
scale on the neck of the bottle. One
would never recognize the tested samples
as having ever been milk. For about an
Inch on top Is a yellow grease, then clear
water, gradually changing lower down to
a dark brown, and In the bottom a white
or gray precipitate of ash. The farm
ers are paid for their milk according to
the amount of butter fat, which, ranges
from four to 4;6 pounds to the hundred
jjounds of milk. Each farmer gets a

price being determined by the price but

the amount of butter fat. The Banner,
Crescent and Fort Dick creameries com
bined will make about 380,000 pounls of
butter each year; the remaining 730,000
pounds in the county being made in the
dairies, some of which make 25,000 and
35,000 pounds a year, and get fancy prices
for their produots, contracts often being
made for the entire output of the dairy.
Mining.
Owing to the fact that there Is no way
of cheaply transporting ores out of the
mountains in Del Norte County, there are
no developed mines to speak of, although
there 'are some fine prospectgawaitlng the
advent of railroads or capital to build
them to the seaboard. Copper and gold
are the metals most abundant. The Alta
and Union copper mines, in the northern
ivart of the county, were worked years ago
and were very rich. The lately discov
ered copper property of Cont Crawford,
on JDlamond Creek, is said to be a wonr
derful deposit, and I have received my
Information from some of the men who
have been working there all Summer.

VICTOR HERBERT AND
MUSICAL COURIER ACCUSED C03I POSER OF CRIBBING.
Great interest has been excited In musical circles throughout the country by a
libel suit for $50,000 damages brought by Victor Herbert, the well-known com
poser, against the Musical Courier, of New York, wherein Herbert was accused
of cribbing. The trial Is now going on. A most Interesting witness -last week
was Mark A. Blumenberg. editor of the Courier. He said, among many other Interesting-
things: "Good music always becomes part of the repertoire or street
Organs. Nobody plays Herbert's music except Herbert. Men who are connected
with brass bands and comic operas cannot become really great musicians."
"Can you specify any of Herbert'g work that Is not original?" the witness was
asked. - "Certainly." was the reply. " 'The President's March.' arranged by him
In 1898, embodied the tamo theme as the 'Clio March.' written by Gurnot In
1801. It was aUo in the same key. In his serenade, the waltz theme, part of
the overture, was taken from 'Grace O'More,' one of the disreputable songs we
have In America, which was mibllshed In 1893. In his' 'Singing Girl' there's an
identical harmonious progression, taken from Faure's 'The Palms.' "
Planton Brunei!, an expert musician, testified that there U not an original
line In "The Idol's Eye," "The Fortune Teller" and "The Wizard of the Nile."
Pase-Crescent City Hailroad. Is, a deposit
of copper ore covering hundreds of acres,
which was discovered in 1S9S, but only
this year has anything more than assess
ment work been done. A tunnel 200 feet
into the mountain has cut a wide vein
of 24 per cent copper ore. carrying $3 to $5
In gold. In the mountains near the Ore
gon and California boundary line is a de
posit of fine chrome ir6n ore, which is
valuable for a flux In smelting. One de
posit has been worked, but Mr. Hlgglns,
an old miner. Informs me (there Is a still
larger and finer deposit a few miles far
ther east, which has now been located.
In fact, there is an area of several town
ships In Northern Del Norte County that
has not yet even been prospected. There
Is little encouragement for a poor man
to locate a mine unless he can in some
way gettthe ore to market, as It will keep
him poor working the assessments In order
to hold it.
Placer mining has been carried on all
over the county for "years. The Big Flat
placer mines are well equipped, and are
being worked by a. Chinese company,
which purchased them this year. About
20 years ago every Chinaman In this coun
ty was driven out, and until this year
there was not a Chinaman here. There
are placer mines on French Hill and
Monkers Creek; also on Klamath River
bars, and In the black sands of the ocean
beach. Many attempts to work these vast
deposits of gold-bearlng sand on a large
scale have been made, but not yet suc
cessfully. The gold is very fine, and when
worked on a small scale can be saved,
but the only way to main? It pay is by
moving large quantities each day. W.
Buergermeister, who represents a Phila
delphia syndicate, has just completed a
plant two miles below Crescent CUy, and
purchased a half-mile of sea front. A 15
horsepower gasoline engine operates a
large centrifugal pump, the suction pipe
being adjustable and swinging in a half
circle. As the sand and water are pumped
away it Is moved to a new deposit. The
sand, gravel and water Is elevated to
sluice boxes, which contain various pat
ented appliances to catch the gold, and
are arranged In pairs, so that there can
be a "clean-up" every day if necessary;
and yet the pump continues working day
and night, and moving about 100 tons of
sand In 24 hours. About 10 men will be
employed. Operations are expected to
commence with the first Fall rains, as a
lake near'by can be drained Into the sand
bank.
Hunting and Fishing.
Some men go out in the mountains to
hunt who are just there for an outing and
do not expect to kill any deer or bear,
and they generally do not. And there are
persons who go fishing for about the same
reasons, .and are very doubtful about suc
ceeding, and it is only an accident when
they do; but to a sportsman the mountains
for game, and the clear, cold, sparkling
mountain streams for fish offer rare sport
to the hunter and firherman. "
Persons coming over the mountains from
the warmer interior in Summer should
come right on to the coast, where they
get full benefit of the cool breezes, and
then make excursions back into the moun
tains for hunting and fishing. There is
plenty of game and abundance of fish
within easy reach cf the coast anywhere.
There are crabs and clams to be had in
the ocean, and also several varieties of
fish can be caught off the rocks, which
are excellent eating. The hunter and fisher
should visit the coast for sport. E. C. P.

Elma, is showing, .In a very, satisfac
tory manner, what wonderful possibilities
are within the reach of even the small

cabbage he made $100; from tomatoes he
got the sum of $40, and the sale of green
peas, came to $100 more; from various
other vegetables he made over $100. This

CLARK SWORD FUND GROWS
Secretary Mitchell Receives a P&trl-
!- otic Letter From W. A. Perkins.
Thefollowing patriotic and rather warm
letter was received yesterday by Secretary
Mitchell, of the Admiral Clark testimonial
committee:
"Leona, Or., Oct. 26, 1902. Dear Sir: In
your letter congratulating me on having
procured the pltful sum of $15 for the
Clark testimonial sword fund, Is an ex
pression or two that call to mind the
disgust I felt when presenting the case
to some more or less. prominent Individ
uals. I have been "hot" for two years.
There was nothing heard but Dewey,
Schley and Sampson, and I said: 'Where
is our Oregon and Captain Clark??
"There never was a more brilliant feat
HIS $50,000 DAMAGE SUIT
performed this continent than that per
formed by 'our OregQn and our Captain
Clark.'
"It was a great pleasure and a great
honor to me that I was designated as one
to assist in making up this fund. If the
fund is not fully made up, send me an
other blank subscription Hot, and I will
see that North Douglas shall do her duty,
even if there is but one name to the sub
scription. Great is the Oregon and great
is Captain Clark, in the greatest nation
on earth. Very truly, v
"W. A. PERKINS."
Colonel Mitchell's comment on reading
Mr. PerklnsMetter was:
"That sounds as though an American
wroto--it. It is in splendid contrast with
seme of the low-grade sniveling letters I
have received, and I wonder that some of
the writers had patriotism enough in
their make-up to place a United States
postage stamp on the envelope. That con
tains the right sort of stuff. It sounds
Rooseveltian, and I will bet Mr. Perkins
means just what he says. He must have
been educated somewhat in Engene, the
first city that set the example of doubling
its subscription. I thank the writer
heartily and so does the committee.
"Matters are going along better than at
any time since the effort was renewed.
Salem, by Squire Farrar's efforts, has
broken its Icy bonds and has contributed
neatly, through F. "V. Rlchlcs. Little
Silverton has done well, and shows that
the smaller towns are determined to keep
In front. Forest Grove comes out finely,
aided by Harry Haynes. Bright little
Newberg, pushed by B. C. Miles,' Is not at
all backward, and has helped to swell the
fund. Lcona, Mr. Perkins' home, and
which, by the way, is not in the state
gazetteer, does her full share. Monmouth
shows that she Is up in appreciation of
brave deeds, and for that, Mr. J. H. Haw
ley has our thanks. Oh, we are growing,
and will soon get outside of the timber.
"With Astoria, Baker City, Hood River,
Albany, Iia Grande. Oregon City and a
few others yet to follow up their good re
ports of progress with actual cash, we will
be ready to say well done with unction and
feeling. Oregon Is all right, once fairly
awakened. Now, if the 1905 folks will push
things, their work will be attended with
grand results. In our affair I have no dis
position to scold. If one does not feel
patriotism you cannot teach it. God help
such' people."

SUPPLEMENTARY POWER PLANT.
The Former East Side Plant Has
Been Moved to Deep Creckj
The machinery, dynamos and boilers of'
the old East Side power station that
stands on the lumber-yard of .Inman,
Poulsen & Co. have been sent out to the
new Deep Creek station, about 20 miles
from Portland, on the route of the Ore
gon Water Power & Railway Company.
At this place a supplementary power sta
tiqn will be established.
Two acres of land have been secured
and clenred. A storage-house will be put
up at once, and afterward the power-house
will be erected. Snnd. brick and lumber
have already been hauled to the-new pow
er station ground from the Sandy Itls
near the site of the Palmer mill,' from
which the supply of fuel will be obtained.
This will provide the company .with a
second supplementary power plant, one
brtng located on the Portland terminal
grounds.

Expects to Establish One. v
Postmaster Wlssenger, of Mllwaukle, Is
expecting an order establishing free rural
mail delivery In the district extending
south to the Clackamas River at any time.
Application was made for the service over
a year ago, and the territory marked off.
Inspector Clements recently went over tho
route, and candidates for carrier were ex
amined, so that all that now remains-Is
to await orders from the Postal Depart
ment. Mr. Wlssenger. says that there are about
200 families In the, district and the car
rier will cover 23 miles in making one de

Marriage of a Veteran.
W. E. Haydcn. a veteran of the Civil
War and a prominent member of Sumner
Post, G. A. R., was married at the home
of Charles Cushion in Vancouver to Elisa
beth Benton, of Portland. The wedding
was kept quiet until Sunday, when the
name of Mrs. Benton was called during
the meeting of the bazaar committee of
the Lone Fir Monument Association.
There was no answer, and Mr. Hayden
was charged with abduction. The old sol
dier, who -had faced the bullets of many
a battle, blushed and turned pale at the
same time. He mustered up courage
enough to deny the charge, and the sec
retary was Instructed to change the name
of Mrs. Benton to Mrs. Hayden.
Opposes Incorporation.
J. H. Rathburn. an old resident of
Montavilla, expresses himself as opposed
to 'forming a city government there. He
thinks that the cost will be far greater
tharf any benefit that can result" "The
time may not be -far off;"' he continued,
"when all this district will be annexed
to Portland. It Is my judgment that It Is
too early, for that, but perhaps In a year
or two we Bhall be ready to come Into
Portland. If we should Incorporate there
would be a lot of expense fornothlng.
We are doing very well as we are at
present"
