SUMPTER, Or.. April 7.-Captaln John
H. "Woods, who represents Mr. Gates.'of
the Illinois Steel Company, has made a
thorough examination of Eastern Oregon
mines during; the last several months and
eays some very pertinent things. Ills
opinion, based upon practical, as veil a
technical Information Is that the main
mineral belt of this part of' the- state Is
the most extensive, most continuous and
the richest he has over seen. Narrowing
the field down to positive limits, leaving
out all doubtful localities, where ore bod
ies are small and disconnected, these
facts remain true. Of theses main belts,
there are rich streaks of ore, but the Gen
eral appearance of the rock and ore In
these sections Is lean and hungry. The
experienced miner notes these indications,
and Is generally found sinking a shaft or
driving a tunnel near the right place,
while the map who has not studied for
mations and mining, sometimes stumbles
onto- something -good.
"What the country needs Is capital and
Intelligent management. Without the lat
ter, the former Is of but little avail. In
the treatment of ores, people try to defy
chemistry, which cannot be successfully
done.
hi some cases old machinery Is being
put In place, where the best modern im
provements are needed. One of two re
sults must follow; either the property will
be abandoned and discredited, or such
machinery will be, taken out and replaced
by new.
Captain Woods calls attention also to
the fact that the Jealousy of partners-has
retarded the development of many a good
property, and In some cases caused actual
abandonment. These results are brought
about by failure to eo-noperate when there
Is a chance to sell. The purchaser having
h. deal with each one separately in the
face of such distrust is apt to abandon
the effort to buy.
D. R. Young., owner of the Kootenay
Mining Standard, of Rossland, B. C. war
In Sumpter last week. He visited th
district about a month ago, anil while
hero Invested considerable In mines. Up
on his return to British Columbia he in
terested others In Oregon mines and a
few days ago they purchased the Gold
Finch group, which are considered very
promising claims. Further purchases will
probably be made in this district before
Mr. Young and narty return to Britlst
Columbia.
A refusal of JSO.000 for the Black Cat
property, in the Ibex district. Is reported.
GOLD OF SOUTHERN OREGON.
XJbernllr Sprinkled Thronub Glacial
Deposits Progress In the 31 in en.
ASHLAND, Or.. April 7. William Angle,
Xne of the proprietors of the now famous
Klondike mine, on Mount Sterling, owned
by himself and Jordan Brown, was here
Thursday, arranging to start for his
property. The Klondike, one of the very
rich discoveries of last year. Is located
near tho summit of Mount Sterling, and
Is situated partly In Oregon and partly In
California the state line runng across
the summit of the mountain. The north
Elope of the mountain is a gentle one.
while the south elope Is very steep. At
the base of the mountain run tho waters
of Beaver Creek and Its forks, north trib
utaries of the Klamath River. The
whole of the north slope of Mount Ster
ling, which has an altitude of 727 fee!.
Is covered with glacial deposits, contain
ing more or less gold In spots. Pros
pectors for years past havo .found gold
there, and locations have been made and
worked, many of them to within 800 Xcet
of the summit, and a few as high as with
in 600 feet. Angle & Brown, who were
prospecting there, found an old nrosnect
hole dug 'In about 30 feet, from which
come one had taken out about $300. They
thought tho location was a promising one
lor working, and they went Into the old
cut, got a trace of gold, after digging down
about 25 feet, and followed It further. In
a very short time they knew they had
etruck It rich, and after a few days longer
they took out qulto an amount of the
yellow metal. They had not gone far Into
tho old cut when they struck the ledge,
which Is six feet wide and crosses the
summit of the mountain at a dip of 33
degrees. They had entertained no Idea
that there was a ledge connected with the
cut.
After striking the wall, they followed up
the gold and took out a quantity of quartz
and rock In the main barren but the
portion of quartz that did contain geld
was extremely rich. Most of what was
taken out was sorted and thrown out on
a dump only the very rich rock being
packed out. They crushed and re-sorted it
and carried out only about 103 pounds of
the very richest rock. They also put up
an arrastra and rocked out what rock
was not rich enough to mortar. The 100
pounds of rock that was brought out
from the Klondike yielded over CO.000, and
more of It would have been worked had
not the lucky miner? been overtaken by
the snows of Winter, which began at that
altitude In September. The Klondike mine
Is about yf miles, as the crow flies, south
west of Ashland, and Is very difficult of
access; TcwIns-torilhl altitude and deep
snows of the Wlriterseaswn tho Klondike
being situated on the north slope of the.
mountain, out of reach of the sun's rays
much of the year. It is only accessible
for about four months of the year. Many
think that the Klondike Is a part of the
"mother lode" from which the gold of
tho placers beneath It, which "have been
Worked for many years, comes.
There Is no abatement of the Interest
which hao been excited by the recent dis
coveries In the Gazelle mining district.
The great and original attraction there has
been tho now famous Dewey mine, now
owned by the Southern Dredging Com
pany, of Boston, Mass.. which has also
built the large dredger now almost ready
for work at Hawklnsvllle. The sum of
1123,000 was paid by the present owners for
the Dewey property. This lfdge is of im
mense size, being about 50 feet wide and
standing out of the ground at least 20 feet
above the surface, and horizontally for
over 100 feet. Rich cropplngs make an
Immense show. -Rock from this ledge goes
from 3 to JIM per ton, while large bodies
of it average t0. It Is estimated that
there are at least $300,000 now In sight on
the Dewey. Machinery for the reduction
of this ore Is to be added in the. near fu
ture, the proprietors being now engaged
In deciding the details of the Improve
ment. The story of the discovery of the Dewey
Is an Interesting one. An old prospect
hole that was sunk nobody knows for a
certainty Just when may be seen at the
mouth of Squaw Creek Canyon, about
four miles distant from Gazelle. From
all Indications it must have been sunk
about 40 years ago. As the locality was
abandoned from that time until very re
cently. U Is evident that the prospector's
efforts were futile, and the Gazelle min
ing Interests have been at a standstill
untn the last year. A stockman, who
chanced to pass that way in quest of
missing cattle, in the fall of 1S9S, was at
tracted by a peculiar outcropping of rockl
He confided hla find to a neighbor, Allan
Davis, and a few days Utter, Mr. Davis,
with his son and others, located what is
now the. famous Dewey mine. A tunnel
, was driven in about 200 feet, and crosscuts
run on the .ledge by Mr. Dwinnell. of
Montague, showing a body of ore SO to CO
feet -in width and of several distinct
rtrata.
L. Edson. the well-Jcnown stockman and
miner, has bought a lot of Southern Pa
cific Railroad land, and locations In the
Gacell district and Js.engaged In develop
ing tne property, no nas a jeege iuny
1000 feet wide, traced for, more than halt
d mile. Quarts taken here and. there on
this enormous ledge amounting to 3000
pounds has been milled and yielded J3 SO
to the ton. It was surface and free-milling
rock and contained some sulphureta.
Two miles south of the Dewey mine. In
Section 18, at an altitude of 7000 feet, Is
the Michigan mine, owned by Harry
Mitchell and the Martin brothers. It is
on a spur of the same range as the Dewey,
the ledge being an east and west one,
dipping 40 degrees to the north. The prin
cipal pay streak Is along the footwall of
the ledge. Enormously rich rock has been
taken out of this ledge, going many
thousands to the ton, and some of it as
high as IG8.000 to the ton. It Is looked up
on as being as rich and valuable as tho
Dewey. The .Preston Peak copper mine at Pres
ton Peak, Josephine County, Is a very
promising property. The proprietors havo
already Invested about $20,000 In level
openings, and a shaft has been sunk 170
feet on the mine. The owners of the
property are sanguine of permanent and
most profitable success In their opera
tions. During the past week two of the
members of the syndicate that owns this
property, C L. Young and C W. Schoon
oven, arrived from New York, with a com
plete surveying and assaying outfit, and
a large amount of other stuff, which they
have packed over the trail to the mine.
They will canso a survey to be made to
determine the feasibility of building a
railroad from tho location of the mine;
From Grave Creek comes the report that
on account of the long spell of dry weath
er In that zone, in some of tho smaller
creeks and gulches the water supply If
running low and some of the smaller
placer miners are making their annual
clean-up. The larger properties, how
ever, are running In good shape, with an
adequate supply of water. The seasOD
at tho Grave Creek placerg this winter
has been longer and better than usual on
account of the excellent supply of water,
and miners think that there will yet bo
enough from the later rains to prolong
the work of tho placers In that vicinity.
Ivan Humason, recently of Portland,
has a most promising claim on the divide
between Sardine Creek and Rogue llly
er. At present he is running a tunnel and
doing other development work on the
property. The rock from the mine will
be crushed at Mr. Humason's 10-stamp
mill, now being erected on the Chavner
property, near Gold Hill. A. M. Cowglll,
recently of Baker County. Is the superin
tendent of the construction of the new
mill. The battery of stamps Is ono of
the latest and. most lmproed patterns.
The concentrating plant of this mill Is
of the Woodbury pattern and will have
a capacity of 30 tons per day. The power
to drive the machinery of the mill will bo
obtained from a 27-inch double turbine
wheel and will come from the water of the
Bxadcn ditch. There has long been a de
mand for a good custom mill In tho vi
cinity of the Gold Hill district, and with
out doubt Mr. Humason's enterprlso will
be amply rewarded.
Frank Anderson, the mining expert, en
gineer and geologist, who has been doing
a large amount of Investigating In Siski
you County during the past year, reports
great activity on the other side of the
divide, and expectations of a very profit
able year In the mines tjf that section.
There Is unusual activity now In the Ga
zelle raining district. Prospecting, locat
ing and the bonding of claims, and tho
purchase of mineral lands is balng most
energetically pursued, and the activity is
likely to increase as the snow retreats
from tho higher ranges. Available town
sites are being sought and enterprising
persons have begun with the preliminary
steps of a location. Tho district has been
explored and mapped with considerable
care over a large part of Its extent, at
least so far as its formation and topogra
phy are concerned", but it is a more diffi
cult matter to keep up with the progress
of locations on account of their rapidly In
creasing number.
The Isabel mine, on. Green Creek Moun
tain, in the Grave Creek district, was
bonded to Messrs. J. M. Walstlen and W.
T. Emery, of Oakland", CaL, last week, for
JSOOO. They will begin shortly somo ex
tensive development on the 'mine. This
mine is on the Cow Creek slope of Green
Mountain, about four miles from Stew
art, in Josephine County, and was dis
covered by Joseph and William Marlln,
about three years ago.
REPORTS FROM THE MINES.

BAKER CITY, April 7. A very en
couraging report is brought In from the
Gem mine, near Sparta, which was pur
chased a few weeks ago by Portland peo
ple. Under progressive development,
large bodies of oro have been uncovered
In a short time. Enough Is now In sight
to cover the purchase price and as much
more.
The new strike In the Weatherby-Bonan-za
mlno is attracting much attention to
ward that district, where placer dig
ging has seen some of Its best days.
Owners of property near Weatherby as
sert that it has been Impossible to Interest
capital In quartz mines there, because of
the size of ledges. They arc uniformly
small, but of high values. Upon the show
ing made in deep work in the Weathcrby
Bonanza depends, to some extent, the fate
o'f the district. It Is the hope of every
ne that work .here vslll prove that the
ledges solidify and grow larger as depth
is gained. This fact established, Weath
erby district will become one of the most
Important In the state.
Tho Pomeroy dredger at Weatherby Is
said to be the second in size In the United
States. Its cost was JC0.CO0. It was started
up last Fall to test the machinery, and Is
now being perfected and fitted with a
complete electric light plants. It will be
operated In gravel from 15 to 30 -feet to
bedrock, paying about 23 cents to the cubic
yard. Eight men will be employed In Its
operation.
At tho Weatherby placers, two hydraul
ic giants are now running and a third
will be started soon. These two giants
handlb about 2003 cubic yards of gravel a
day.
These great beds have been formed by
the wearing away of the tillls which con
tain numerous rich ledges only a few
Inches wide. While working in the placers
a few days ago, Mr. Weatherby found
one of these small ledges. Going on the
hill above, he sunk a. few feet'- and found
the same ledge, assays from which gave
a total value of J4G0 per ton. This ledge Is
IS Inches wide, and It is thought will
average $50 In value. A mill test shows
that tho values are 90 per cent free mill
ing. The North American Mining Company,
owning 18 claims IS miles northeast of
Baker City. Is pushing work with great
vigor on Its property this Spring. This
Is a copper mine, and lies In Un'on County.
The IS claims have recently been sur
veyed for patent, and buildings are being
erected for the accommodation of a large
number of men. A large hoist will be
erected this Spring. The shaft is now
down 10 feet, all the way In. ore. At the
depth of 100 feet a cross-cut tunnel will
be run 100 feet In each direction. The
ore is free milling, and Is said to be very
rich. The body of ore Is extensive. No
walls have as" yet been found.

All Ages and stages M Life
Have their periods of weakness arid peril. From childhood to old age,, from the n infant puling in its nurse's
arms" to the "lean and slippered pantaloon," each period of life sees humanity at the mercy of chance and cir
cumstance. The condition upon which a man lives and thrives is that he protects himself from the attacks of
the myriads of germs, which imperil his health. , Keep the; blood healthy and the body is healthy. The blood is
' the, river of life. It nourishes every organ" of the body. Let the river of blood get tainted and the body at
once suffers in the organ most susceptible to attack from disease. Dr. Pierce's" Golden Medical Discovery
fortifies the body against attacks from disease. It'does this by purifying the blood and eliminating th'e waste and
poisonous substances which form the breeding ground of the germs of disease. .It strengthens the digestive and
nutritive system so that the body is adequately nourished. It increases the activity of the blood-making glands,
6o that the body is strengthened by an' increased supply of pure blood. To this is due the wonderful cures
' of blood disease, nerve disease, heart disease, lung disease, and diseases of other organs, performed by "Golden
-Medical Discovery." It cures eruptions, because it removes from the blood the foul -conditions which breed skin
diseases. It cures nervous diseases and heart "trouble" by invigorating the stomach and organs of digestion and
nutrition, and so giving the .body the elements of nutrition, out of which
strength is made. It heals weak lungs by pouring into the enfeebled
organs a tide of rich, red blood. -
Medicine cannot make blood nor make strength. Blood and strength
are made from food. But food only makes blood and strength when its
nourishing elements are extracted and assimilated. "Golden Medical Dis
covery " invigorates the weak stomach, so that the nourishment in the food
is extracted and assimilated, thus making blood and strength. Ninety-eight
per cent of all who have given the "Discovery" a fair trial have been
perfectly and permanently cured.
There is no alcohol contained in "Golden Medical Discovery,"
neither opium, cocaine, nor other narcotic.
'Let no dealer, for the gain of a larger profit, rob you of the cure
'you - seek by offering you a substitute as "just as good. There h '
nothing "just as good" as "Golden Medical Discovery.'

MORALITY THROUGH LAW.
Communication From IXev. Itny Pal
mer, Whlcli Is .Noticed Elsewhere.
PORTLAND. April 3.-To the Editor.)
TJnder the above caption, an editorial ap
peared In Tho Orefonlan of April 2.
While I greatly appreciate many of the
editorials of The Oregonlan. I would like
o reply through your columns to the
above article. The editor says: "Every
man in law la held to responsibility for his
own personal tcta. and this legal doctrine
rests on sound moral justice."
True, individual responsibility is, per
haps, the supremest fact in man's .rela
tion to his fellows, and to his God. Daniel
Webster onco said: "Tho greatest thought
I ever had is my personal responsibilities
to Godl"
That personal responsibility Is not lim
ited to my own welfare, but extends ojt
ward through an ever-widening circle, so
far as my example and Influence 'extend
or can extend; so far as it affects tho -welfare,
the .rlghtis or thebapplneta of others.
Hence, we Insist that tHls responslbllfty
does Uot'ceaAb" when 'a man; hat prbvidcd
for himself or for h!s family. We Insist
that the keeper of the brothel, the gam
bling den or the saloon must be held per
sonally responsible for tho "fearful results
of their business: these results being large
ly brought about by tho enticements, .al
lurements and "faloo lights" of these tor
stltutlons of perdition.
We Insist that man's persorial respon
sibility does not cease at the ballot-box,
but that when he goes to the polls and
knowingly and deliberately casts his bal
lot with that political party that to pledged
to tho support of the license of strong
drink, that voter Is prionally responsible
for the crime and misery and woe that
flows like rivers of death from the open
saloon of this country.
Tho editor further assures us that the
great evils of the world have never yielded
to anything "but the enlarged and enlarg
ing gospel of human experience. Intelli
gence, spiritual culture and restraint."
Surely wo must all agree tha't lri Its .final
analysis, tho great hopo of the world Is
In the gospel of personal regeneration
The master said to NIcodemus: "Marvel
not that-1 said unto thee, ye. must be
born again." And truly glad wo are to
find the editor of one or our great secular
dallies becoming a herald of this heaven
born truth. Let It be-oreached by every
pulpit and press around the world; that
man can never be saved nor reformed by
law, but by tho "washing of regeneration."
atlon."
And yet. would we commit such con
summate folly as to abrogate all law? Is
i nnt trim thnt In the evolution of our
race both law and grave have their place?
Now, while personal regeneration will reg
ulate man's Inner life, law will greatly
ass'st In the regulation of his environ
ment. Hence all civilization Is based on
the belief that man's personal, social and
political life is greatly strengthened to
ward the right Dy wnoiesome laws, inor-
oughly executed. Gladstone- says: -'The
I mission of government is to make It -ae
hard as possible to do wrong and as easy
I as possible to do right." Now. would The
Oregonlan advocato the Anarchistic theory
of nullifying all law? Would he array
-himself against Blackstor.e -and 'Greenlcaf
' and the wisdom of the world,- all of which
has placed Itself on record as vindicating
the authority, utility and beneficent ef
fects of law? Would he abrogate, the Teh
Commandments? And turn all mankind
over to tho ravages of the bloody hell
hounds of Anarchy? No; he would not
dream of doing such a thing.
He saya: "No law or enforcement of law
can prevent gambling or extirpate alco
holic Intemperance and the social evlL"
And he could have said, just as truthfully.
that no law or enforcemenfof law can
prevent murder, or theft, or embezzle
ment, or forgery, or arson, or perjury,
or any other crime ever committed or
that could be committed. Must we, there
fore, blot out the law? Is that logical or
rational? No: wo reason that if men will
commit these- crimes and depredations, de
pplte the restraining Influence of tho law.
what would they not do without the law?
Now, no sane reformer believes for one
moment that airorny of these evils can
bo "extirpated" by law, but tho wisdom
and experience of the nations has demon
strated that theso things may be mightily
mitigated and restrained by the' strong
arm of the law. Gambling, the social evlr
and drunkenness may be largely controlled
and suppressed, and will be. In all this
country, when -we TOters 6top playing
the fool and put men into office who
put manhood above money, and God above
graft! That law can and docs restrain
these things la demonstrated in the his
tory of Maine, -where the whito banner of
prohibition has waved above her honored
citizens for more thart half a century, and
while tho law has been amended again
ind again,, it has invariably been to
strengthen prohibition. And we would no
more expect the good people of Maine to
abrogate their law than that Gibraltar
would fly from Its basel I have lived In
a state where 11 counties had prohibition,
nnd I know that law can, largely "prevent
gambling, extirpate lntemperanco and the
social evil."
Man may bo never so strong phys'cally,
but If he Is forced, to breathe continually
the foulest atmosphere, he will soon be
come the victim of fearful disease. We
may bring up our children never so care
fully, give them tho best porrtblo educa
tional and spiritual advantages, but if
they are forced to live In a city and nn
tlon where the open saloon Is legalized
and gambling and the social evil are
"winked at" by oCIdals and prominent cit
izens; and eloquent preachers and great
editors fold their arms and cry, "we are
helpless, nothing can bo done!" what
can we hope for the rls'ng generation but
that multitudes of them will be enenared
by the devil and the nation continue to
reap its annual harvest of drunkards, lib
ertines and murderers!
No, we can not purify the heart by law,
nor root out froin the human soul the
tares of evil, butvo can, by law. refrain
from setting fire to men's passions and
appetites until they burn to the lowest
helL Wo can. by law, remove tho worst
and tha vilest forms of temptat'on from
the millions of the youth of our fair lani.
God knows they will have enough unholy
flro within, and enough of temptation to
fan the flame after we have done our best
for them. How daro we thrust them Into
a furnace of tho white heat of temptation,
knowing the combustible nature of man's
organism? Wo can, by law, close the
gambling den and the saloon, and say to
