the Balcer City District.
BAKER CITY. Or.. May 24. Messrs.
Weiss, Thomas, Carolton and Anderson,
a party of expert mining men irom Crip
pie Creek, Cola, have come to Eastern
Oregon in the interests o Denver capital
Sets. One of the party eaya that they
came to Baker County vested with full
authority Insofar as the purchase ot
properties -was concerned, and that from
the data gathered concerning this district
before leaving Colorado, he had every
reason to believe that the party's present
visit would result in much Tenver cap
ital being Invested. However, as none
of them has yet bad an opportunity to
oven as much as cast an eye on a ledge
or placer bed, their future movements
-cannot be determined. It Is not often
that syndicates of wealth send their agents
into a mining country clothed with au
thority to purchase as their Judgment
dictates, without even as much as report
ing on the merits or demerits of the prop
osition. They will be advised here by
the Colorado & Montana Mining Club,
and atoo by members of the Chamber of
Commerce, and will be given every oppor
tune to examine the mining sections
thoroughly. When asked the nature of
the properties desired, they stated that
their Instructions did not confine them to
any one class of properties, but that they
were prepared to negotiate for quartz,
placer or copper properties in which they
could aeo real merit.
The party, accompanied by G. Jowns,
owner of the North- Powder copper prop
erties, departed this morning for the
North Powder section, where they will
spend a short time, and from there tra
verse the Rock Creek district, and later
the Cracker Creek locality.
Colonel John T. Grayson has returned
from New York after an absence of sev
eral weeks. Colonel Grayson visited many
of the larger cities in the East, and says
that the gold fields of Eastern Oregon
are beginning to attract the attention of
capital.
Until recently this section of the min
ing world was comparatively unknown. A
great change Is now, however, taking place
In the East, Colonel Grayson says, which
la chiefly "ue to the liberal advertising of
the O. R. & N. Company. The work of
the O. R. & N. cannot be overestimated in
this respect, especially to this portion of
the state, and good results are sure to fol
low. Colonel Grayson says there are many
capitalists In the East and Middle West
who will come here this Summer with a
view to investing in mining properties
General Manager P. P. Shelby, of the
Pacific & Idaho Northern, Is authority for
the statement that an exteneion of CO
miles will bo added to the road this Sum
mer. This will bring the road within the
heart of the Seven Devila country, from
which an Immense traffic in ore is ex
pected. The proposed extension to the
timber belt above Nampa will make the
road 100 miles long.
Messrs. John G. Foster and N. E. Dar
ling, of this city, have Just returned home
from Granite, where they put In the past
month doing development on their Grand
Prize group of claims, three miles north
east of Granite. They report the moun
tains throughout the Granite section alive
with prospectors, and many good loca
tions being made. Mine development Is
active, they say, and there is great en
couragement to miners from the results
being obtained.
It Is Teported that W. I Vinson, the
king-pin mining operator of Eastern Ore
gon, who met with financial reverses .some
time ago, resulting in the suspension of
operations on the Magnolia and Little
Giant mines, has so far arranged hi af
fairs as to make the early resumption of,
operations on these properties certain.
Both of these mines are equipped with
modern ten-stamp mills, and have consid
erable ore on the Mump.
The Van Anda mine, on Ollvo Creek,
is expected soon to change bands. The
Van Anda has been closed down some
time by reason of differences between the
owners, and all of the personal property
on the place was recently sold under at
tachment. OLDTIMER TO RESUME.
The Joseph. Knott Mine, the First
in the Bohemia District.
COTTAGE GROVE, Or., May 24. The
old mine which was operated by Joseph
Knott about 25 years ago will soon have
a large force of miners on it, and devel
opments will bo pushed. A party of seven,
the owners, have gone to make a personal
examination of the property. The party
is composed of Mr. and Mrs. Ladd Fln
nigan, Mr, and Mrs. W. C. Meagher,
Mr. and Mrs. Ladd and F. W. McCue.
Mrs. Ladd Flnnlgan is the principal owner,
she being the daughter of Joseph Knott,
All eyes of the entire Bohemia District
have been on this property since Mr.
Knott died, about 25 years ago. It was
patented, but has not been operated, on
account of tbo unsettled condition of the
estate. Many thousand dollars have been
expended in building -a trail about 20
miles, which was used to haul in a five
stamp mill, over a very rough region.
The mill was put in operation, and did
good wonk. There was considerable de
velopment done. A shaft was sunk 60
feet, but elevating the ore by a windlass
was very expensive.
This prjoperty, from the discovery on
the surface, shows that it is Immensely
rich. Tho ore taken out of the shaft was
literally full of gold, and ran into thous
ands of, dollars per ton. Many mining
experts, have inspected this property, and
say it is fully as rich as the Helena.
Much relief is felt throughout the entire
camp over the fact that this property is
to bo thoroughly developed and operated,
after a period of 25 years of Idleness.
From the time of the suspension of this
property until the mines began In general
to be opened up was 17 years. As this
w3 the first property operated in the dis
trict, they claim the right to the name,
hence have named their company the
Bohemia. Great developments on this
property are looked tor.
ACTIVITY ABOUT GRAffXTE.
Prospectors Getting: OHt la the Hills
Strikes on Ten-Cent Creek.
GRANITE, May 24. With the drying up
of the roads, and tho melting of the snow
in the mountains, prospectors are becom
ing more numerous around Granite. It
1 no unusual thing to see ball a dozen
to a dozen pack horses pass through Gran
ite in a day and some days the number
goes as high as 20. There Is still considera
ble snow in the higher altitudes. The
southern slopes, however, are practically
bare and It is there that prospect work is
aoost active.
Within the past week several strikes
are reported. C. L. Fox and L. C. Keeton
discovered a rich ledge two and a. half
mlfes east of Granite, while J. M. Rose,
a veteran miner and prospector of Spo
kane, made a find three miles west ot
the c(ty on Ten-Cent Creek that he thinks
will make him a millionaire. Rose's dis
covery Is a aTee gold ledge In a soft talc
formation that pans high. He has ob
tained assays going as high as Jill to the
ton and lg pushing development work
with vigors.
Perhaps 200 locations have been made
m the vicfcilty of Granite-within the past
two week Some of them are promising.
although showing no high values on the
surface.
J. M. McKee, who owns lour placer
claims on Ten-Cent Creek, recently pro
duced a bottle of gold in Granite 'valued
at $250. The cloan-up was the result of
three days work with two of his eons
and with no more formidable machinery
than on ordinary two-Inch hose. Ten
Cent Creek was prospected and turned
down in the early '60s. but this iact did
not discourage Mr. McKee', who is an old
placer miner. He took out ?700 last Fall
by ground sluicing and expects to take
out $5000 to $10,000 this season.
It is said that Captain Wood, who was
in the Granite camp several months ago,
was there in the Interests of the Illinois
Steel Company, and bonded the Quebec
mine on Quebec Mountain, six miles south
of Granite, for the Letters of Chicago,
prior to bis departure for the Bast. P.
W. Campbell, who is left In charge of
the property, is pushing development work
-and there is reason to believe that the
Quebec will be added to the list ot the
camp's producers before the end of .the
Summer. This property Is already con
siderably developed, having nearly 1000
feet of tunnels.
Joe Basler, of Pendleton, has Just given
a bond on his, group of claims in the
Greenhorn Mountains to F. I. Conroy,
representing the Standard Oil Company,
the figure named in the instrument being
$30,000. ThlF property, which Is known as
the OHn group, consists of the Baker,
New Comet, Labor, Bijou aria Paine
quarts claims. It is opened up by three
tunnels, one of tbem 630 feet long and a
shaft that is down ISO feet. A force of
men has been put to work and machinery
will be installed early the coming Fall, If
the present ore indications are verified by
the development -work.
1VORIC AT BLUE RIVER.
Xwmerons Xctt Prospects Openins
Lucky Boy Holds Its Gait.
BLUE RIVER, Or., May 24. Despite
the bad weather and still worse roads,
many people are flocking Into the Blue
River country, many of them well
equipped for mining, and several new finds
are already reported. A four-horse team
Is hauilng In lumber for a new quartz mill
on lower Quartz Creek, to-be built by
Eugene men, who are going to push the
work of construction aa rapidly as pos
sible. While there are dozens of good show
ings in this camp the center of attrac
tion Just now is the Lucky Boy property,
whose new 10-stamp mill has been send
ing out gold bullion for .the past four
months, and whose stamps are dropping
day and night all the time except, when
cleaning up. During the past 0 days,
however, the mill, was delayed by having
to put In a new set of steel shoes and
"dies In both mortars, and a friction hoist
to baul up wood from the canyon below,
"but now things are in good shape for
another long run.
There are at least balf a dozen or more
claims In this camp that can show far
richer prospects on the surface than the
Lucky Boy, but as yet they are only pros
pect holes with not sufficient work done
upon any of them to prove to the outside
world how rich or extensive they may be,
as most of their owners are following
the old adage which says, "Everything
comes to him that waits." So they are
sitting down and waiting for some man to
come along and give them ? sum that
would buy a well-developed mine, and,
as sales are rather slow, many of the
holders are getting gray-headed waiting.
Over on the north side of the mountain
on the Calapooia much prospecting Is be
ing done. Tho Poorman Company has
struck quite a body of ore in its main
tunnel which shows up well In free gold.
A mill will be put in soon. The Temple
ton Brothers, of Brownsville, lately
struck a 40-foot ledge that shows free
gold. Dennis Hogan struck good quartz on
Calapooia, and Dexter Sparks has a fine
prospect near blm.
While all these new discoveries are be
ing made Jn the northern part of the
camp, a number of new finds are reported
on the Eastern branch of Quartz Creek
in tho southern part of the camp, below
and Just east of the :Lucky Boy, some of
them showing free gold. Discoveries are
also being made over on the west side of
Gold Hill. The outlook for a good camp
here Is very promising.
The greatest drawback now Is the terri
ble condition of the wagon road up the
McKenzie, which Is so full of holes and
so badly cut up that It is utterly Impossi
ble to haul a decent load. Surveyors
are now at work running a Una up the
Calapooia to lpcate a new wagon road be
tween Brownsville and the mines, as the
business men of Linn County have at last
become thoroughly aroused In the matter,
and are pushing forward to get the trade
of that section. This route has many ad
vantages over the McKenzie, as It Is,
several miles shorter and Is far less rocky
and passes through a vast body of timber
which has never Been cut or burned, and
which of itself, is well ...worth a wagon
road,- not" taT -mention the Immense gold
deposits,
A G. Sparks has tho surveyors now
laying off a townalte Just east of the
Blue-River Bridge, and expects to soon
have a new city in full operation.
VALKIRIE GROUP BONDED.
Mining: Activity About Granite, La.iT
ton, Red Boy and Alamo.
GRANITE, Or., May 24, C. R. Bamhart,
one of the oldest- and most successful
prospectors In the Granite district, yes
terday bonded his Valklrle group of quartz
claims to a local capitalist for $10,000. The
Valklrle group Joins the now famous Cou
gar mine, on the west, and is one of the
most promising prospects in tho district.
Mr. Barnhart, who first located tho Cou
gar, says that in his belief it will, with
development, prove a rival to that mine,
and his reasons for parting with It at so
low a figure are that he has the utmost
faith in the richness of the district, and
is confident of bis ability to discover other
rich ledges, to the exploration and de
velopment of -which, he will devote the
proceeds ot the Valklrle bond. A crew of
miners will begin tunneling on the prop
erty at once, and as soon as development
justifies, a mill will be erected.
In the course of a ride of-some 20 miles
through the Granite, Lawton, Red Boy,
Alamo and Olive -Creek districts, no less
than 20 hardy prospectors were encount
ered, and doubtless many times that num.
ber were delving amid the rock-ribbed
hills for tho yellow treasure, unseen to
the eye of the casual passer-3y. But that
they are there, the many dumps and pros
pect holes far "up the rough and craggy
steeps give indisputable evidence. Much
development work Is being done this
Spring! and many rich, strikes are report
ed from day to day. Among the most
noteworthy are the report of an ore shute
in the Cougar, a rich pay streak In the
Yellowstone, and a strong ledge of high
grade ore on Olive Creek, a short distance
above the Van Anda group. Man) min
ing experts and capitalists from the out
side are seen on the streets of the various
llUlo towns of the district, and all are
looking forward to a prosperous season.

is toq much, of -making tte ballot a pana-j
cea for all Ilis-v Ton. are told. It, will do
this for one- set ot peopler that; tor an
other. Question these statements, ask
how, until you get It down tp simplest
4erms and clear fact, ,
Haw. Is the ballot to raise wages; for
women! Haa It ever done It for men?
During the bard years we have been
through when thousands of voting men
bad nothing to do, would, they -hot have
created. wages, to -say nothing of raising
them for themselves. It Jt pad been in
-their power? Wages are, a question of de
mand and supply. When you want a cook
In bop-picking season ImQregon, ahe set
tles the wages and conditions, and you
take her with thankfulness. The next
Winter there are more workers' available,
and 'you bare considerably-more to say
'about what she 'shall be paid, and what
1 she shall tio for It.
Woman's labor Is, of necessity, unskilled,
from its lack- of permanence. The last
statistics of the United States show that
the majority- of working women are under
53 years of age. After that large numbers
of them marry. They expect this, quite
rightly and as a consequence they go Into
the trades that are quickly learned, and
easily learned", and these are necessarily
the U14pa!d ones. fThese are the reasons
for the lower wages earned by women, not
the lack of suffrage.
Then, suppose the working woman
could vote. By these same statistics she
Is in a proportion of one to ten of the
whole number of women. Think what
a small amount of. Influence for the bene
fit of her class she' could exert If her
whole number were banded together, and
those of. you whb.remember the futile ef
forts of our working girl's club to
maintain Its organization for its own In
terests w.lll see what tremendous diffi
culty fthare would be In maintaining any
Organized action among them. Then, at
last'-even If the ballot would bring better
conditions to the,, working women (which
we deny), 'this Is a small class, like that
Of tlie tmmavlner woman, nnil must not'
Lbe considered, a fair representative of alL
women.
5. The-fourth "claim is that women need
the ballot to gain equality before the
aw. I have had compiled a statement
pf the legal position of the women In
Oregon, and In no case Is she at a disad
vantage, and In many instances she Is bet
ter circumstanced than man. This Is true,
fn matters of going into business, in the
holding of property, in her dower right
to her deceased husband's property and
in her responsibility, clvi'lv and flnanclal-
ty. In her rrlehts over her children ehe Is
'e.qual with her husband, but it Is always
jne policy or tne courts to give the pref
erence to the mother when there is the
slightest chance for so doing, so that, at
least in this state, this argument docs not
rappry.
. now; if you agree so far that there is
no abstract right violated in the withhold
ing of the suffrage from women, we come
to the consideration of the question on
Its practical side, and here, of course, the'
burden of "proof lies with our opponents.
They must prove, a distinct advantage to
either the state or to woman herself, or
to both, before such an overwhelming
change should be made. Let us see If
these advantages exist.-
You must never forget that it is uni
versal suffrage that Is 'asked, not suf-,
frage for the" educated wpman, for the
Intelligent woman, for women of any spe
cial clasV, -bifor- every woman of age
ljvlng wtyhln the borders of the State
pf -Oregon.
Apparently, the- first result of this would
be the mere doubling of the present vote,
with no difference Ih result, and a corre
sponding doubling of expense and nervous
energy. In this case nothing would be
gaied. But it is claimed that the wom
en's vote will be purer, better than men's.
Putting aside all sentimental cant, is that
true? John Boyle O'Rtiley said: "The
evils of society are spiritual, casting a
ballot Is Intellectual." This Is largely
true, and does the average woman, does
even the Intelligent woman, know as much
of public affairs as her corresponding
man? They say she would become edu
catcd. But listen to the evidence of the
chairman 'of the Democratic committee In
Wyoming, where woman suffrage bad
been In existence for 25 years: "The fe
male vbte Is the easiest to get, the easiest
to keep and the easiest to manipulate of
any element In politics." That being true,
after five and twenty years of possible
education, wljat'is to be said of the ignor
ant and vicious? , , , -.
The Washington lDbby Is a no
torious , instance- of what women
willjdo-to attain fhMr ends, and that
they wKl not hesitate to usemeans not
available 'to the worst of politicians. And
the -vote of the' vicious and .the Ignorant
wonniniwll! be-,corapeIlC The Intelligent
woman? the- one In the so-called middle
and hlgher'Telassea, may 'stay .at home If
she chooses., but the poorest classes, to
whom a dollar means t life -for days, the
laboring classes, with whom support of
their ward boss means' Work, the num
bers of. womenv who" must have the pro-,
tectlon of ythepowers: that be, to earn
.their fatal; livelihood all -these will be
compelled -to -vote, and their vote will be
controlled by the most unscrupulous man
ager of the lot
When you face these conditions, how
much Btrongerforgood la the good woman
without the ballot. She may use the pub
lic press, eha may unite In public If she
chooses and speak' with a mighty voice.
She has unlimited influence in private,
and the forces of evil cannot unite to
counteract her. We-must not forget that
in the lost appeal, politics is a question
of numbers and it is with majorities we
must deal. This Is- the foundation Idea
of a republican -government The will of
the largest number replaces the absolute
will of the monarch. What Is the philos
ophy of this? ( That the' majority can
compel compliance. with their wishes. Our
opponents, scoff at the -military side of this
question, but It exists. It is not In case
of external war, but of Internal solidity.
The War of the Rebellion was. only a- ter
rible exaggeratlqnsof. -the necessary con-
anions in a repuouc. xno nation mat
cannot enforce the law it makes- loses
its identity and chaos results. But, you
may ask, have minorities no rights?
Surely, those of education to the full.

Physicians and fnends could eive little relief or encouraeement to

until they become majorities with the
compelling power of majorities. If it be
comes true that tho majority of women
want the ballot, they will have It, but
ine existence of a great class, creating
laws, but not defending them, strikes at 1
the very foundation of a republican gov-
eminent.
We have looked at some of the aspects
in which this question affects the state.
Let us now see' how it would affect worn-
an herself. This is one of the most diffi
cult phases of it all, because ( it is one I
upon Tvhlch women "themselves disagree
most widely. One woman says: "I do
not want to vote, but I am -Killing others
should." But you can't shirk it in that
way. If suffrage comes it Is a duty every
woman must fulfill, not a privilege she
may accept or reject, and the use of It
will be forced upon her. No right-minded
woman wlH be able to look calmly on the
vicious and Ignorant supporting political
rings in notorious methods, "nor upon fa
natical females riding the hobbies of thplr
own notions or their, own interests, and
not step forward and do her part for the
ood of the. state. So, if you are not
ready to face It for all, do not think it
can be accepted for a part.
Another woman says: "It is very little
trouble to cast a ballot, and that is all
my husband does." If, that were true,
there would be no reason for your
being a poor citizen becauaa your husband
is, and the man who does nothing but
cast a ballQt Is a poor citizen. But, as a
matter of fact, all men do more than that.
They defend their country in time of trou
til they serve on Its juries in time ot
p'eacL'. Problems similar to those of gov
ernment come to them every day In their
business life, In their professions, In the
very elbow-touch with their fellows. You
may say, "I -Rill go out and have that
elbow-touch." Meanwhile, what Is to be
come of the work you do now? I am not
speaking-now of home life, which always
must absorb the vast majority of women,
but the work that Is now done almost
wholly by woman In all kinds of organ
izations1 work for hospitals and homes,
for churches and schools, for the educa
tion that comes from women's clubjr in
literature. In music and In art. This Is
work with w hlch the lives of many women
are more than full. You cannot do this
and all the new work, too. Which will
you choose, and which will jou leave un
done? Then there Is all the question of the
effect of 'this Itfe upon the woman and tht
home, and here it Is that science woula
help us If we would let it. In the earliest
organisms there was the "lightest pos
sible difference of sex, but with the prog
re& of the ages the mule and female-developed
each their own special organisms
and characteristics, until in man we find
them most highly differentiated, with the
man devoted to the sustaining and pro
tecting of the race, the woman to Its con
tinuation andjts ennoblement. Two tasks
equally difficult, equally elevated, but
totally different, and any effort to break
down this distinction, to make these life
f duties not equal but similar, id a long step
backward, a putting of an obstacle in the
way of a God-conceived and a God-devel-Oped
humanity. What is offered as a iub
stitute you may find well described in Mrs.
Stetson's "Women and Economics." It
results in a common ownership in prop
erty, in children and in wives, which is
socialism, pure and simple. She says
bluntly what most of our opponents only
dare" to suggest, but Mrs. Stanton-lilatsch,
In a published work said that It was better
to let home suffer In order Jhat women
should train pconomltr freedom. "Tt tho
-women whp have not' the taste for domes-
tic work turn their children over to other
women's care." And in March. 1SSS. her
mother. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, said
that If tho men of .organized governments
refused their appeals much longer, tne
suffragists would turn to socialists and
anarchists, with whom the equal rights
of women, so-called, have always been an
essential feature.
These are the lengths to which the
leaders of this movement are willing to
go, and any woman who favors it. favors
them, and must be ready to take these
consequences. .jr,n
We have now briefly ranaMfleji. the i
claims of our opponents" ana set forth
some of the disadvantages we believe the
extension of the suffrage would bring to

DESTRUCTIVE POMPOM.
One-PoQiider Gnu Fire Three Hun
dred, Shells a Minute.
The pompom, which has been used by
the. enemy on Modder Itlver, Splon Kop
and elsewhere, says London Public Opln
iqn. Is a most 'ntercstlng weapon. It is
an automatic Maxim gun, firing a one-
f pound shell at the rate ot about 300 a
minute. It differs only from the ordinary
rifle caliber Maxim In being largr. In
having a hydraulic- cylinder to control the
energy of recoil, and In having two
springs instead of one. to return the re
colling portions of the gun to their p'ace.
The front half of the gun beyond the
shield Is the Barrel casing. This Is kept
full of water in order to keep the barrel
cool. The remainder of the gun behind
the shield Is known as the breechcaslng.
It contains the feed block, through which
the cartridges, which are -held crosswajpi
in a belt, are fed one by one into the
gun. The force that does all the work is
the recoil, which drives the- barrel back
and also forces the lock to the rear. While
doing this work the recoil compresses two
springs, one of which forces the barrel
to the front again, and the other tho
lock..
The force of the recoil is able to do far
more work than is entailed In unloading
and reloading the gun. so if it were not
given some other occupation it would
abuse its strength by knocking the gun
to bits. Therefore, to control the recoil,
and to give it a harmless Job to do, th
barrel, when it recoils. Is made to force
Is a loosely fitting piston In a cylinder full
of liquid. This compels the liquid to squeeze
past the edge of. the piston and the cylin
der, which is so. constructed that all tho
spare energy of the recoil is used up in
doing this, w ork. The 'little cylinder which
thus uss up the surplus recoil Is at the
rear end of the breech casing.
The cartridges are like overgrown rifle
cartridges;, they are about six inches long,
but Instead of having bullets they each
have an Iron shell loaded with powder
' ana proviaeu wun a percussion iuse.
I v.iiich explodes the missile when it strikes;
anything. Each shell breaks up Into front
10 toJIO pieces, so that a minute's con
tinuous firing would cause at least 3C00
whizzing, jagged bits of iron to fly about
the enemy's position.
There is no weapon English soldiers
have a greater respect for. Shells from
field guns give a little breathing tlmo
between their bursts at any particular
place, but the pompom sends a stream
of shell five a second to thn same desti
nation. Some of these guns have been
sent -out recently for the amy In South
Africa, but no mention has 1.1 paired yet
of their having been In action
