Our tin mines of Alaska are the only tin mines of commercial importance
in the United States, according: to the latest U. S. Government report and
to mining- engineers of national note. .Some years ago the U. S. Government
offered a reward of $150,000 for the discovery of a tin mine of commercial
importance in America; none could be foundthe offer was withdrawn.
Were it open today, we would be entitled to the reward.
In the world today, there are known
to be three great natural tin deposits.
Two of these, Cornwall and Tasmania,
have been producing- for many years
Cornwall for many centuries supply
Ins virtually all the tin used by the
civilized world. The third great tin
deposit, the Lost River tin mines, in
the York region of Alaska, has Just
begun to be developed. These mines
were first discovered by the present of
ficers and directors of Lost River Tin
Mining Company, and their value un
questionably established by United
States Government officials, who later
made a thorough investigation of this
region. Mill tests," the reports of prac
tical miners, who have visited our
mines, the reports of mining men who
have examined samples of our ore all
corroborate the statements made by ;
Government officials. We firmly be
lieve there Is every Indication that
these Alaska tin mines will in time
rank with Cornwall artVl Tasmania,
making the third great tin center of
the civilized world. Our ore is far
richer than that of the older mines,
so that really our statement is a con
servative one.
Forty-three per cent of the world's
output of tin Is consumed in the United
States, practically all of which is Im
ported. In the entire history of our
country, only 200 tons of tin have been
produced in America. In one year
(United States Government Report for
190$). when the price of tin was much
lower than at present, J24.500.000 was
fftid out to foreign countries for tin.
ur Alaska mines are readily accessi
ble. They can be cheaply operated, the
ore transported by water at low cost,
and they will in time supply the home,
market.
There Is no such uncertainty in the
future of tin as there Is in gold. The
latter shows colors frequently where it
does not exist in paying quantities. It
Is commonly stated among mining men
that $2.00 are required to take out $1.00
of gold. Tin, on the other hand, Is
seldom found, and where found in
quantities of commercial importance, as
In our Alaska mines, the returns have
been enormous.
Read the extract from the United
States Government Report.
Striking Similarity of Alaska Tin
Mines to Cornwall, England.
By taking a map of the coast "of
England and another of the coast of
Alaska, and closely comparing them,
together with data regarding each of
these tin regions, you will be aston
ished at the points of similarity. The
tin region- of Cornwall Is 100 miles
long by 13 to 30 miles wide; of Alaska,
1Q0 miles long by 10 to 15 miles wide.
Topographically and mlneralogically,
the points of similarity are ' equally
striking. The United States Govern
ment report mentions "the mrnrrnl rr.
emblaiwe of the occurrence of tin ore
In the York, region and In Cornwall."
VERDICT IS GUILTY
Jury Quickly Convicts "Chick"
Houghton of Theft.
MEANS PRISON SENTENCE
Ex-Convict's Fight Against Going
Back Said to Be Inspired by
Fear of an Enemy Now
at Capital City.
Charles Houghton, an ex-convict,
otherwise known as "Chick" was con
victed yesterday afternoon of stealing
two bolts of cloth from the tallorshop
of William Velten, 402 Washington
street. The jury, which had been list
ening all day to the evidence in the
case, retired at 3:45 and returned the
verdict within an hour. The case was
tried In Judge Cleland's department of
the Circuit Court. When the ver
dict was returned, Houghton's aged
mother, who had been seated beside
her husband throughout the trial,
broke down and wept bitterly. The
father bore up under the blow with
more composure.
As the evidence against Houghton
and his accomplice, James Sullivan,
was too strong to be successfully
controverted, the efforts of H. C. King,
who acted as counsel for Houghton,
were directed toward securing a ver
dict of simple larceny, that his client
might not be sent to the penitentiary.
Houghton is said to fear the State
'prison because a thug who held up an
automobile on the Llnnton road about
three years ago and is serving a 20
year sentense there, has sworn ven
geance on "Chick" for "squealing."
Houghton is said to have acted as a
"stool pigeon" for the police in the
case against the thug.
The only - witness for the defense
yesterday was Houghton's accomplice,
Sullivan. He testified that he did not
go with Houghton to the tallorshop
at the time the goods were stolen.
Velten's testimony was to the effect
that Houghton and Sullivan entered
the store on February 19 and asked
to have a button sewed on Sullivan's
coatsleeve. As neither of the men was
more than ordinarily well-dressed,
' Velten said, he grew suspicious when
they asked to have only a button re
placed. Velten said he had the bolts
of cloth arranged on his counter in
such a maiyier that he could tell at a
glance if anything were stolen. While
lie was replacing Sullivan's button,
Houghton took two pieces of cloth
and made off down Washington street.
Velten said he noticed the loss as-
soon as he returned to the front of
the shop and followed Sullivan. He
taw him ent'r the Merrill building, at
Seventh and Stark streets, then tele
phoned for the police. Dectectives
Price and Coleman responded. t
The thieves were caught as they
were leaving the building, having re
moved the boards from the cloth, and
wrapped It In a newspaper. Hough
ton had the bundle under his arm.
Sullivan asked for a separate trial.
His case will come up today.
COCXTY CLERK MAKES REPORT
Kecelpts of Office Exceed April Ex
penses by $2104.91.
The report of County Clerk Fields for
the month of April shows that In that
branch of Its business alone the county
made a profit of $2104.91. As would natur
ally be expected, this Is not as large as
that for the same month last year, but it
is a substantial increase over the profit
of $1903.63 in April, 1906, and the expense
of $1794.11 in April 1902. The profit for
the same month In 1907 was $3158.71. Elec
tion expenses this year have cut down
tha April profit. Last month the receipts
It would really seem that Nature had
duplicated her English tin deposits In
Alaska, with the points of difference In
favor of the latter; for while the aver
age yield per ton in Cornwall is 2.3
per cent, three assays of Alaska ore
show an average of 8.3 per cent.
Growing Scarcity of Tin Insures
Continued Rise in Price. -
H. E.'West, well-known mining engi
neer, in a recent article In the Mining
and Scientific Press, says of tin: "The
production la Inadequate to the de
mand"; and in the same article he
states: "In the United States, Alaska
has the only promising region."
James B. Lewis,, another mining en
gineer of note. In the Engineering and
Mining Journal for March, 1908, In an
article on Tasmania tin mines, speaks
of "the practical exhaustion of the
richer deposits so long worked." Again
he says: "A consideration of the tin
market, and observation of the market
and the circumstances affecting it seem
to insure an early and substantial rise."
Thus you see it is a recognized fact
that new tin mines will find an unlim
ited market. These mining authorities
have no selfish interests to foster in
stating, through the leading mining
publications, the great need of new tin
mines.
Cheapness of Operation, Nearness
to the Coast and Good Trans
portation Facilities.
Lost River tin mines are easily
reached by a good roadbed (see Gov
ernment report), and are readily acces
sible to the coast and water transpor
tation. No expensive packing or trail
cutting is required. Boats put into the
harbor, and the ore can be snipped at
small cost. Lost River carries an
abundance of water (see United States
Government Report) for all mining
purposes. In 'short, there are no diffi
cult problems to be met. Mines can
continue In operation nearly the entire
year round, working underground;
there will be no short-season work, as
is the case with surface mining In
Alaska.
By-Products Will Pay Expenses,
Leaving Tin All Velvet.
A very rich vein of tungston, an ex
tremely valuable product, was found
last Summer also gold, silver and cop

pended, and for supplies $478.66. making
a total expenditure during the month of
$3339.49.
In 1907 the April receipts were $5910.30,
and the expense $2751.59. The Teceipts
during April, 190$, were $4716.20 and the
expense $2812.58. In 1902, however, only
$1982.80 was received during April, while
the County Clerk's office expended $3776.91

CONCERT TOMORROW NIGHT
Second of Portland Symphony Or
chestra Series to Be Given.
The management of the Portland
Symphony Orchestra 'has had so many
requests to make special rates to students
who could not pay the regular price, It
has been decided to open the gallery at 23
cents at the concert tomorrow evening,
at the Helllg Theater. This will surely
be within reach of all. and for a concert
these seats are very good. The seat sale
opened yesterday and from present indi
cations the house will be crowded.
Mrs. Walter Reed and Henry Bettman
will be soloists. Each has a large follow
ing and their many admirers will un
doubtedly hear them. The programme is
a splendid one and the orchestra is now
ready to make good all the promises
made for It.
The big number to be given will bo
Grelgs "Peer Gynt" suite. Edward Qrieg
has given the world much that will live
always, but it seems his "Peer Gynt"
music has struck the popular fancy more
than any other he has written. In this
music all Norway Is pictured. The
orchestration Is most fascinating.
The Portland Symphony Orchestra can
do a great deal to familiarize the pub-.c
with the best in music and the oppor
tunity now given, within reach of all,
should be taken advantage of. The con

PAGE 7 Placer tin was discovered in this region York in 1900, and since that time active
prospecting has been going on to determine the extent and distribution of the stream tin, and also
to locate its source in bedrock.
PAGE 11 In 1902 the search was continued and the first real attempts 'to mine the tin-bearing
gravels were made on Buck Creek. . . . Development since 1901 justified further investigations.
PAGE 16 Tin is known to be irregularly distributed in the York region, over an area of about
450 square miles, embracing the western end of the peninsula. Its occurrence in alluvial deposits
has been verified by the United States'Geological Survey at three localities, and the existence of
tin-bearing lodes has been observed at two points. ... In addition to these, prospectors report
the occurrence of tin at a great many other places, either in lode or placer form.
PAGE 17 Along Lost River, from the coast to the tin deposits, can be found an exceptionally
good roadbed.
PAGE 19 Lost River carries approximately 1000 miners' inches of water.
PAGE 21 From the tests thus far made, an average of 6 per cent tin for the whole width of
the ledge is claimed. The following assays of ore collected on this lode by Governor Hutchinson
were made by Ledoux & Co., of New York:
Sample of Ore Marked ."Dyke" . 5.08
Sample of Ore Marked "Float" 15.70
Sample of Ore Marked "Grisen" 4.13
Many examples showing the nature of occurrence and extent of the tin ledges of Cornwall
might be cited for comparison, but these given above will probably be sufficient for present pur
poses, and will show the general resemblance of the occurrence of tin ore in the York region and
in Cornwall. '

weeks ago by hitting his wife over the
head with a pot of boiling potatoes,
was committed to the Oregon State In

the furniture in his house and terrorized
his wife, who has been living for weeks
In fear of her life. H threatened to kill
a whole family of neighbors tonight.
Kuss has a hallucination that two
doctors from Redwood. Cal., are follow
ing him constantly in an effort to secure
his blood for medicinal purposes. He
hears them at all times of the day and
night. He imagines they have been
staying at the house of a neighbor, and
he announced his purpose to kill every
body In that house tonight.
This threat led to his examination for
insanity, and he readily told his troubles
and was promptly adjudged insane. The
mythical doctors had been bothering him
two years. He said he came to Oregon
to escape them, but they came on the
same train.
Kuss came here about six months ago

BUILD ARCH0F WELCOME
N. C Norman Gets Contract From
' City Executive Board.
The City Executive Board, In spe
cial session yesterday afternoon,
awarded conditionally a contract for
the construction of a floral arch, or
arch of welcome, to be placed at Sixth
and Hoyt streets, during the Rose
Festival. There was but one bid, be
ing that presented by N. C. Norman,
and the price quoted being $2475.
Norman came near losing the con
tract, and being the only bidder, there
would have been no arch of welcome,
had the members of the Board fol
lowed to the strict letter the usual
course in awarding contracts. No
certified check accompanied the bid,
although this was called for in the
publication asking for bids. The
error was condoned by the members
of the Board, providing the check is
given tomorrow morning, as It is ex
plained that the time is exceedingly
short and the necessity of making the
award was great, if the arch is to be
completed by June 1.
A noteworthy feature of the bid
was the fact that, although the City
Council appropriated $2850. Norman
bid only $2475. The plans upon which
he will construct the arch were drawn
by Architect IX C. Lewis, and are
those originally adopted by the Rose
Festival committee.
Woodmen Will Participate.
Multnomah Camp, No. 77, Woodmen of
the World, has made an appropriation of
$100 and given Its committee power to act
in making preparation for its part in

On organizing, they transferred all

No man or woman is so Impractical
as to dream of wealth through the
work of their hands; we all know that
fortunes result from wise investments
not from small savings indefinitely

riches who did not put the money he
earned to work for him. The only
question with you is: "How can I best

simply and fairly, giving you the opin

be biased by self-interest, rather than
asking you to take our word alone. It
must be clear to you that tin Is a
great necessary commodity; and as the
United States uses tin to the amount

up some system of physical exercise to
maintain normal health. Then here are
factory operatives and the toilers in
the various trades, whose work brings
into play certain sets of muscles, while
others are out of use; tnese require
exercise adapted to giving employment
to the neglected muscles. There is
also a class of wealthy people who do
no regular work of any kind who re
quire to follow some strength-giving
sport In lieu of work. At the opposite
extreme is a class of athletes who make
a business of artificial exercise and
build themselves up Into mountains of

We ask for only $2.,000. Remember
that Tasmania, on an Investment of
1148.000, has given back $10,000,000. But
Tasmania was Inaccessible; there were
many difficulties to be overcome, all
requiring money. Lost River tin mines
are well on the way to development;
much has already been done; Just now.
$25,000 will do more for these mines
than four times the amount would do
for mines .in other places. We have,
by our own capital, carried the work
past the experimental tage; ore is

Hatching Ostrich Eggs.
Tampa Times.
Ostrich eggs are being hatched in an
Incubator in this city. A novel egg
hatching is being carried on at the store '
of Crenshaw Brothers, in upper Franklin
street. Thirteen fine ostrich eggs from
the recently established Tampa ostrich
farm have been placed in an incubator,
and they will hatch off some time early
in May.
It takes an average heat of 107 degrees
and 46 days of constant exposure to such
heat o develop the germ in an ostrich
eg and hatch the young ostrich. The
eggs are worth $20 each, and it Is a con
servative estimate to say that the young
bird will be worth more than twice that
money after It has passed the first month
of Its existence.
Some Idea of the size of the eggs may
be gathered from the fact that the
Mandy Lee incubator, which is being
used for the hatch, would hold 140 aver
age hen eggs. Fourteen of the ostrich
eggs would fill it completely. An empty
ostricm egg holds one quart of liquid.
