There are

various difficulties la the
them Mrs. Bertha Elwert.
thii mRimecr of the Droperty. ana a nerce
bulldog that acts as guardian-policeman
of deluded mortals who think they have
nothing else to do than leisurely walk out
to the "diggins" at Marquam Gulch and
start a gold mine on their own account.
Yesterday at noon It was planned that
Miss Carrie Elwert and J. H.' Flak, the
assayer. and one or two others were to
visit the property and start a determined
search for tae lucky ore bearing gold,
sliver and copper, but the elder Mrs.
Elwert was said to be sick and the trip
was abandoned.
"Maybe we will start tomorrow, and If
not tomorrow, why, the day following,"
said one of. the party, "Marquam hill
won't run away. No sir."
Mr. Ksk Is confident that the ore on
which he has made an assay contains the
genuine article, and calculates that the
deposit ought to yield 75 ounces to the ton.
in silver. He Is an experienced assayer,
and when the start is made will have men
and tools ready to push the adventure to
completion, he says. Meanwhile, the elder
Mrs. Elwert says: "Bosh. There Isn't any
gold there." She lent 515.000 on the prop
erty to Judge Philip A. Marquam. some
years ago, and when he could not pay up
on the installments she foreclosed on the
mortgage, and gave the property to her
son, who is said to be a lawyer In New
York.
Wondering when the party was really
going to start to the "diggings," an Ore
gonlan man called yesterday afternoon on
Mrs. Elwert, who rooms at 345 First
street, and expressed surprise that she
has not started for her new' gold Held.
"Are you one of them noospaper fel
lers?" Inquired Mrs. BlwerU
YeE."
"'They've bothered and pestered me
nearly to rtiath." protested the manager
of the gold mine. "One feller came to me
yesterday and when he asked me how old
I am, I Just showed him this and told him
to git. He got." "This" was a healthy
looking broomstick that had been con
cealed behind the outer door.
"But are you not going to see about the
gold "
"There ain't no gold. I toll you, on
the Marquam hill property." snapped Mrs.
Elwert. "I don't believe It. and let me
Ull you, young man, I ain't goln' to waste
any money lookln' for stuff that ain't
there. Why. anybody might have thrown
a bit of quartz down in the gulch. Does
It follow that there's a gold mine there?
The property has been a dead loss to me,
and I've advertised for a tenant for the
house, but nobody seems to want it. So
I've hired a man to take caro of the house
and grow potatoes and other vegetables
for me. that't all the place Is good for."
"Well. If you won't see about the gold
and the silver on your property, are you
not afraid some other people will see
about It for you In the night time for
Instance?"
Mrs. Elwert reflected a minute, and then
said, grimly: "It wouldn't be healthy for
them to try. I've got a caretaker there.
and I've got boards up with 'No tres
passers permitted. Then I ve got a bull
dog there, and that dog knows what to
do. Its all a scheme of somebody s.
tell you. there's no gold there."
Mrs. Blwert's husband was a physician
and he died several years ago. He used
to own property at First and Oak streets,
ard disposed of It to Henry Falling. Dr.
Elwert was a well-known member of Co
lumbia Company No. 3 Engine. In the
days of the old volunteer fire department.
A mining man sitting In J. H. FIsk's
office yesterday, and who refused to per
mit the use of his name, said: "About
the year 1S70. I remember meeting two
men who found gold In Marquam hill.
One of thorn used to work for me, and ho
Wt off work suddenly. Afterward I met
h'm on the street, and In the course of
talk, he said he had been away mining.
Ti t very far from tho city. He seemed
disinclined to talk about' his find, but one
day he took me, on the quiet, to a spot
on the Marquam hill and showed me
where he and his partner had taken out
gold. They had worked two crushers,
and easily made $3 and $3.50 per day. Then
they suddenly abandoned the place, and
went away."
Robert J. Holman. ex-captaln of police,
paid: "In the early 60's a boatman told me
or. rtiy he was approached by two
strange men who asked him what he
would take to row them up the river near
Sellwood. and he said $5. The men agreed
to pay this and when they came nearly
opposite Sellwood. they pointed to a bluff
v.hire they wished to land. They took
pans with them, and after washing up
some dirt, one of them said: 'I believe it
wl'l pay. We'll come back to this.' That
was the last the boatman ever heard of
them, when ho took them back to tho
city. He used to say that he thought
they were prospectors who afterward
found more valuable deposits elsewhere.
I tell this to show that there may be gold
or fllver somewhere about this region."
Judge Marquam's bouse Is one of tho
landmarks of the city. He took up the
ojd Doner claim, and built the house
which bears his name In the early 60's.
Hf could not be seen last night, as he Is
away on a vacation trip to the Pacific
Coast. One of his heirs said: "In all the
y ars we lived at the old house on
3iarquam hill we never found the least
trace of either gold or silvor. The Judge
t.svd to own quite a good deal of mining
property, years ago. and he knew gold
bearing land when he saw5 It. If there
nr valauble minerals on the proporty ho
would have found out all about them
b-fore he parted with the place. I am ln
cl red to think that an assayer who states
that there Is gold, silver and copper bear
ing ore In the proporty. Is making a mls-take.'
Starts Blaze In tv House on Wil
lamette Heights Last Msnt.
Waving a flaming torch, the Portland
firebug made his appearance about 11:15
o'clock last night on Willamette Heights.
and set fire to a new house under pro
cess of construction for Russell & Blyth.
The miscreant escaped before he could
be caught. The occurrence was reported
by Motonnan Guth and Conductor
Palmer of trolley car No. 115, of the
Portland Railway Company. As tnir
car sped along the curve near Thirty-
second and Thurman streets, both men
were surprised to see a man, with a nam
ing torch in his right hand, running
away from Russell & Blyth's two new
bouses. At the same time they saw a
steady glow of fire in the basement of
one of the buildings. They stopped the
trolley car. and by the time they reached
the burning house all trace of the firebug
had disappeared. A quantity of kindling-
wood in the basement was blazing fierce
ly, and both Guth and Palmer seized
shovels lying handy and at considerable
risk to themselves extinguished the
blaze. Their hands and faces were black
ened with smoke. By their prompt ac
tion, the house was saved. Even if the
fire had been observed by a passing cit
izen or one of the neighbors, it would
have taken the fire department a long
time to reach the scone, as the grade up
Thurman street is steep.
HIS RIBS BROKEN.
W. J. Dyer Starts for Doctor's Office,
but Falls Unconscious.
With several ribs broken, and prob
ably suffering internal Injuries as well,
W. J. Dyer, residing at 400 Gllsan street,
attempted to walk to a doctor's office
yesterday afternoon and collapsed on
Washington street near Fifth, from
whence he was taken to his home In the
police patrol wogan. Dyer was In tho em
ploy of Contractor C. J. Cook and was
engaged in unloading steel rails from a
wagon, when In some manner one of the
heavy rails fell upon or struck him. He
was not rendered unconscious, however,
but went home and with his wife and
children he started for the office of Dr.
A. E. Mackay. At Fifth and Washington
streets he experienced Intense pains In
his side where the rail had crushed him
and before he had walked 20 feet further
dropped to the pavement In a semi-conscious
state. The usual crowd of
thoughtless passers-by crowded In upon
the helpless man and made the work of
those who were trying to ease the suf
ferer's pain the more difficult. Officer
Qulnton endeavored to keep the crowd
back but In spite of his efforts the side
walk and street was soon blocked and
remained so until the patrol wagon had
removed the Injured man.

GREAT REMOVAL SALE.
Del Carey Smith's Mission ot Peace
Is Successful S. C Spencer Will
Be Installed, as Worthy
President Tonight.
Portland Aerie of Eagles. No. 4, is char
terless no longer. After an investigation
lasting several hours, by Grand Worthy
President Del Carey Smith, of Spokane,
and a general committee, yesterday after
noon, the ruffled feathers of the local
birds took on their usual aoDearance. and
out of a mixed-up wrangle, tho rasping'
of talons and the hoarse, discordant cries
of the enragedNblrds, there came the quiet
of a resttul peace.
When seen yesterday afternoon Presi
dent Smith would say nothing of what had
happened at the meeting, except that the
charter had been restored, that new offi
cers had been elected, and that the battle
royal was at an end, with every ona well
satisfied and repentant.
From what can be learned, it appears
that there nvas no cause whatever for tho
action of Deputy Grand State President
Charles I. Flynn in expelling some 30 or
40 members from the lodge, depriving tne
aerie of Its charter Is defined as a blunder.
The visit of the grand worthy president
to this city was evidently expected by a
number of the big birds, who left their
roosts at an unusually early hour yester
day morning and congregated In different
places to talk the matter over. Last night
more than 100 Eagles might have been
seen on the street corners, all wearing
smiles that could have but one meaning.
What seems to be worrying the grand
worthy president the most Is the publicity
that the affair has received. "The mem
bers ot the lodge who would allow them
selves to be Interviewed on the subject,"
said one of the prominent birds last night.
"are 'knockers,' and have not the good of
the acrle at heart. They are the very ones
who are to blame for the embarrassing re
sults of the disruption."
At S o'clock this evening, in the old nest.
the rortland Aerie will assemble to install
the new officers elected yesterday after
noon, and peace and good fellowship will
once again be Identified with the hitherto
stormy meetings. The new officers that
will be installed tonight are: John La
mont, past president and grand represen
tative to the grand aerie; Colonel S. C.
Spencer, worthy president; John V. Lan
kin. worths vice-president; William
Deveney, worthy chaplain; Louis Dam
masch, worthy secretary; Fred T. Mer
rill, worthy treasurer; Sig Wertheimer,
worthy conductor: J. R. Penney, worthy
inside guard; Victor Chapman, worthy out
side guard; W. T. Hume, Alex Sweek and
J. P. Flnley. worthy trustees; Doctors H.
R. Littlefleld and C. W. Cornelius, worthy
physicians.
Grand Worthy President Smith departed
on the 6 o'clock train for Spokane last
evening, and, with the Spokane Eagles
on Sunday night, will depart for Min
neapolis, where the aerie at that city will
be Joined and the trip made to Chicago
where a special train will convey the
Eagles of tho West to New York. The
New York meeting will be a notable one.
There are nearly 500 aeries in the country.
and each one Is entitled to representation
consisting of one delegate and. all past
rulers.

NO DRINKING FOUNTAIN.
Council Cannot Afford to Appropriate
the Necessary $500.
An ordinance appropriating $300 out of
the general fund of the City of Portland
for the purpose of constructing a drink
ing fountain at Sixth and Pine streets
had been prepared and was to have been
Introduced at the meeting of the Council
on Wednesday. At the last moment, how
ever, it was decided not to Introduce it.
as the general fund, the only money the
city has to draw on for such purposes.
has been to a large extent appropriated,
and. owing to the vast amount of street
work on hand, it will bo necessary to
keep more surveying parties at work than
had been calculated on. The site of the
proposed fountain is a triangular tract
at the junction of Pine- and Ankeny
streets, west of Sixth street- It has
frontage of a trifle over 11 feet on Sixth
street, and extends some 30 feet toward
Seventh, till It comes to a point. It con
tains about 230 square feet, and has been
owned by the city for years, having been
bought In for taxes.
It was thought advisable that a drink
ing fountain, at which teamsters might
water their horses, should be built there,
and the Idea will probably be carried out
if there Is enough of the general fund
available. With such a fountain on Sixth
street, and the fountains on First and
Main streets, the business part of the
citv will be fairly well provided with fa
cllities for teamsters to water their
horses. Horses do not require drink very
often, and a majority of teamsters water
their horses before leaving the stables.
again at noon, and this answers till they
return to their stables. As for teams
cominc Into the city, there are good drink
in ir trouchs provided on all tho main
traveled roads near the city limits.
The triangular tracts along Ankeny
street have long been an annoyance to
the dtv. The Skldmoro fountain has tak
en up one, and Seventh street has lately
been extended through into isonn &ev
enth. and the proposed fountain at Sixth
and Pine streets will take care of another.
There Is a triangle at Third and Ankeny
streets. In front of Henry elnhard;
property, making a Jog on the east side
of the street which is of no benefit to
anybody, as people passing along that
side of tho street invariably cut across
the pavement, but it has increased the
cost of improving the street.
Mr. Welnhard is desirous of erecting
large building between Ash and Ankeny
streets, fronting on Third street, and
would like to have the street straightened
from the north side of Ash to the north
side of Ankeny. so that his building
i would front squarely on Third street. In
stead of standing back In a sort of recess.
He Is willing to pay what the land is
worth, but on account of Its being In the
street there are difficulties about making
the transfer, which, however, wm prob
ably be overcome.
