THE SUNDAY OBEGONIAS, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER i, 1900. MACHINERY FOR MINES 8S0,OOO POTJXM TO OB MOVED TO SUMPTER DISTRICT. 2tepraent Over One Hundred Four. Bone WftSfon-Loa-da Other SCevra of Section. SDSEPTER, Or., Nov. 8. At the depot, awaiting transportation to the mines In the Sumpter district, are 880,000 pounds of machinery. The consignment Is divided as follows: Bald Mountain & Mammoth, 300,009 pounds; Columbia, 60,000 pounds; Bed Boy, 20,000 pounds. The task of get ting It to the mines Is better understood when It It known tfaat 3000 pounds Is a load for a four-horse team, This means 120 wagon-loads and will require several weeks' time. It Is 18 miles to the Red Boy, eight to the Columbia and nine to the Mammoth. Means Much for Saxupter 3Itne. The organization In Spokane of the Cracker Summit Gold Mining Company, with Joseph Clark as president, means much for Sumpter, as Mr. Clark is the wealthiest mining man of Spokane. The properties of the company are nine claims on the summit between Cracker and Fruit Creeks and adjoining the E. & E. and Columbia. There has been over 55000 expended in development of the claims and the main ledge has been ex posed for 2100 feet, being 10 to 40 feet wide, with values ranging from $5 40 to $46 15 per ton. Arrangements are about completed to run a 1000-foot tunnel to tap the ledge at a depth of 650 feet. Two shifts will be employed all "Winter. The property Is so situated that the ore can be placed In the mill on a gravity system, and no pumping or hoisting machinery is needed, and plenty of timber for all needs. Little Giant to Resume "Work. Work has been resumed at the Little Glaat mine, located between Spring and Lightning Creeks, five miles "from Alamo. .The property was smit down 10 months ago, owing to bad management. The owners, English capitalists, represented by Captain Otto Bley, have paid all out standing debts, and are rushing develop ment with a good force of men. A gasoline engine has been sot up to run the blower and supply air. The first work will be done on the tunnel which is in 900 feet. One hundred feet must be run before the main ledge Is encountered. Two blind ledges we're struck, on one of which a 809-foot drift was run, all in ore. The mine has a very complete outfit of machinery. Including a 20-stamp mill, con centrators, electric plant, etc.. but it has not been placed in position although, the buildings are ready. This work will be deferred until the character of ore and mode of treatment necessary are de termined by the completion of the cross cut tunnel. Good Strike In the Golden Eagle. The Golden Eagle mine, located In California Gulch, a few miles from the Bonanza, has strack a body of good ore In the face of their main drift, which is In 609 feet. Assays run to $500 per ton. The mine has been equipped with steam pump and hoists. It has a stamp mill and concentrators and In years gone by the mine has turned out many thousands of dollars, most of which has been put hack In the way of development work and machinery. Itlnlto Group's Fine Showing?. The Bialto group, located near the May Queen, about one, mile above Lawton, baa been sold twice during the past 10 days. The claims were owned bv Grant Turner. John and Robert "Wilson and wore being worked by Grant Thornburg. J. W. Taixr and Oscar .Benson under a. bond of fSKX). - A 30-foot shaft was sunk and a ledge of free goW ore uncovered with a slate hang ing and porphyry foot wall. The bonds men took tf their bond and turned the property over to California people for ttfc.000, with 30O paid down and stipula tions regarding development work. The California parties are to be con gratulated as they have a similar propo sition to the Red Boy, which is only a few thousand feet away. Dtndem "Will Run OOO-Foot Tunnel. General "Warren has written from Mon tana that he will be here immediately , after election and let the contract for running a 00-foot tunnel on the Diadem. There Is a sale of the property pending, Patsy Clark and associates having had it examined last week by one of their ex perts. The Teport is understood to have been favorable for the purchase. The Monarch and Wizard claims on Deer Creek have been sold to "W. S. Benson, of British Columbia, for $10,000. J09 'being the first payment The prop erty was owned by Little, Runner and MePhee. KBSOUnCES OF JACKSOJf COWVTY. Mines the Principal Sonrce o"f Revc- nne Other Industries. JACKSONVILLE Nov. 3.-The follow ing exhibit' shows the relative importance f the leading Industries of Jackson County: The best estimates place the season's yWd of wheat at 290,000 bushels; barlov .: oats. 16.X; rve, 3000. Valuing wheat at 45 cents per bushel, barlev and oats at 4. and rye at 6, the aggregate "valwe of the. cereal crop is $144,000. Eeadtng fruit dealers place the nppSe export at 225 cars. This, at 600 boxes to the car. and 7K cents per box repre sents a value of $m.3S0. From this sum ming up, which is believed to be very nearly correct, the cereal yield and ox port apple product will rcp-o?ent a value of $tf.2M. A careful estimate of the gold output for the year places It at $409,000. It will thws be seen that the product from the mines exceeds the value of the cereal yield and export apple crop by J154.T50. From these figures It will not require the knowledge of an expert to point out the loading Industry of the county. Last year the wheat yield was esti mated at 4Mft8 bushels, barley. E0 0O0' oats, 38.P09. The falling off In the wheat and oats yield this year is traceable to two oauses. First the lower meshes In the heads, particularly of wheat, did not flJL Second a lare area of thess grains was cut to make up the deficiency la hay spoiled by the early rains. It is believed the cereal yield of the oounty thls year is the smallest since 1S5S. or since farming became a general Industrv In the valley. The corn crop Is the largest and best ever raised In the coun ty, and will fully supply the shortage in small grains. Vegetables are unusually abundant and of more than average quality. The woo' oHn wiH be about tha same as usual. The hop crop Is large and of the best qtiaMty. Hops have advanced In price and the revenue from this source will be larger than ever before. Cattle, horses and hogs command good prices, money Is easy, trade active, farmers out of debt and prosperity everywhere ob servable. MAT BE SECOND CRIPPLB CREEK. Sylvanlte Mixed "Vlth Free Gold Discovered on John Day. HiBPPNBR, Or., Nov. 3. News Just In from the middle fork of tho John Day River tells of considerable excitement there over the discovery of sylvanlte mixed -with the free gold In the new May Sower mine, which Is owned by D. B. Staltor. of Heppaer. This Is said to be the first .ylvanlte discovered on the Pa cific. Coast, and the ground all around the Mayflower has been located. Old miners say itfds a second Cripple Creek. Snow Is already accumulating la that locality, and Interfering with work. Orcron Mining- Notes. pcrsonfewho Is directly Interested, and -knows whereof he speaks, says the "Onion Tribune, informs us that if McKInley is elected work "will be resumed on the great copper deposits at Copper Butte in Union County, and a large smelter erected. He said much also depended upon the result of tha election as to whether extensive work would be prosecuted at Burkemont, If Bryan is elected it Is argued that it will be Impossible to secure capital for the work owing to lack of confidence that would prevail in that event. Everything at these mines is at a standstill awaiting the outcome. F. S. Lack and associates have taken a lease and bond on the property of the old Nelson Placer Mining Company, which in cludes the Nelson placer mines, the Au burn ditch and the water rights connected therewith, saysUhe Baker City Democrat. A large area of this placer ground has already been worked to a depth of about 80 feet, but there seems to be no bedrock to deposit. It is the Intention of the new company to work the property by means of a hydraulic elevator, using a system similar to those now in use In the deep gravel mines of California and Colorado. Competent engineers have examined the property and report that with the machin ery contemplated the company will be enabled to work the ground at least 60 feet deeper, using the same flume. The ma chinery will be placed In position for early Spring operations. Transactions in Mlnlnsr Stocks. Following were the quotations at the Oregon Mining Stock Bxchange yesterday: Bid. Asked.

ESTATE OF MICHAE M'GRATH. .Court Orders Proceed Divided Among Two Women. CORVAILL.TS, Or.. Nor. 3'. The County Court has ordered distribution of the proceeds of the estate of Michael Alc Grath, who died childless in Kings Val!ey last year. For some time it was sup posed that the estate, for lack of heirs, would escheat to the state. In time, hdw ever, a number of claimants appeared, one man coming to Corvallis from Minnesota, In the belief that he was a relative of the dead. The decree of the court turns the money over to Annie Knrlght, of Newark, N. J., and to her sister, Norry Enrlght, of Cora fin, County Clare, Ireland. The sum to be divided between the two girls is I31K9. McGrath was found dead in his cabin in Kings Valley by neighbors. His environ ments were of the rudest sort, and his stock of provisions meager. On his per-' son were found checks, certificates of de posit and cash aggregating nearly $4000. Circnit Conrt at Corvnllls. CORVAXJilS, Or., Nov.

Delinquent Tax Snle. OREGON CITY. Nov. 3.-Sherlff Cook today sold the property advertised In the delinquent tax list at public, sale. The delinquent property amounted to about 510.000. B. F.

The hop market is at a standstill, with indications of weak ness. Twenty-flve hundred bales are un "sold in Polk County, the bulk of which is at Independence and Dallas. The prune market is in about the same condition as hops, with no buyers until after election. Iat Cnnipniun Speech nt Albany. ADBANY, Nov. 3 Hon. John A. Jeff rey, of Salem, delhered the last political speech of the campaign at this city to night at the Courthouse, under the aus pices of tho Bryan Club Siberian Cities. Alnsiee's Magazine. Perhaps the most curious feature of all Siberian cities and villages is the quiet of them. The American finds it de pressing. The places seem half dead, yet they aro alive and thriving. Our conception of prosperity In new cities is so associated with the clang of the trol ley, the smoke of tho factory, the .weird wrl things of the Ete3m siren, and the bustle of the population, that it is hard for us to realize that prosperity may ex ist in a place of dead calm. Vladlvostock, Khabarovsk, Blagovest chensk and Irkutsk all present the same features. Blagovestchensk, in the heart of Eastern Siberia, on the Junction of the Zeya River with the Amur, Is, per haps, the most interesting city. On the central square of the city, where the market is face two large department stores, which for size, beauty of archi tecture and variety of stock would do credit to any American city. The bank buildings, the museums and other busi ness and government houses are of brick or stone. Good schools have been estab lished, so that it Is possible for a boy here, as well as in all Siberian olties, to receive a thorough education. In Vladl vostock a training school for Eastern diplomats turns out graduates Accom plished In, Oriental languages to, begin their careers as interpreters or - secre taries -of legations. . -- - X. 1B-W feenJAnuiuG?. 11 i The "Brewer" Hat 1 J)erby or Fedora always up to date made'by- skilled union labor, guaranteed by the manufac- turer to be the best fe $3.00 on earth.

IUCE SAYS IT SHOULD SOT BE FOR BR.YAX. Democrats Have Sidetracked and Destroyed Every Reform. Party in. Last Twenty Years. BAKER CTY, Or., Nov. 3. Middle-of-the-Road Populists as a whole are not surrendering to fusion this year. Many of the original leaders In the Populist movement oppose Bryan as bitterly as McKInley. Hon. John C. Luce, twice can didate for Governor on the Populist and Middle-of-the-Road Populist tickets, and ono of the ablest fighters the cause has ever had In this state, arraigns lemoc racy bitterly. When seen at his home in John Day, Grant County, a few days ago, he made the following statement to the question of whom he was sup porting in this campaign: "I am one of tho Electors chosen last Spring by the Middle-of-the-Road con vention, and my acceptance of the same was duly filed after the nomination of Barker and Donnelly at Cincinnati. Hence it would hardly be presumed that I am supporting either McKInley or Bryan. I have at all times and under all circumstances advocated stralgnt Populism. B voted for Mr. Bryan in 1895 because I had to vote for him to vote for Hon. Thomas E. Watson for Vice-President. I opposed Bryan at St, Loute In 1896, and on the vote for Presidential can didate voted for S. P. Norton. I would not vote for McKInley under any circum stances. Mr. Bryan, I consider, is the candi date of a party that by different methods has sidetracked and destroyed every re form party that has come up for the past 25 years by adopting In Its platform some of the reform principles, without the least intention of putting them into practice, even though the party were suc cessful. The position the Democratic party has taken on trusts shows its in sincerity. The proposition of destroying trusts by merely denouncing them Is the merest political clap-trap. Trusts are simply large aggregations of capital brought together to produce articles at the lowest possible figures, and to leave to their originators the largest amount of profits. No law can control them, much less destroy them. They are sim ply the natural evolution of our Indus trial system. The only possible means by which the whole people can reap the benefits of the trusts Is by Government ownership. Then the articles would not only be produced cheap, but would be furnished to the people at the lowest possible price, thereby shortening the amount of labor to produce what the peo ple need. When any party, regardless of its name or past record, proposes to con trol trusts by any other legislation. It Is simply baiting for suckers. "Tho Democratic platform calls for Government control and the Issuance of paper money redeemable in coin. Here it again furnishes the ammunition that can and will destroy Its own structure. Popu lists' demand a paper money, a full legal tender, issued by the Government, Jn suf ficient quantities to meet the demand of business on a cash basis. "Democracy In the South is not De mocracy in the West. Democracy in the -South disfranchises American citizens on account of color. It favors bulldozing, ballot-box stuffing, and Is as arbitrary as Its majority will allow. The Populists of the South had to fight their way to the ballot-bos through rows of Democrats armed to Intimidate, and then had to guard the ballots after they were cast. Democracy dominated by Richard Croker, D B. Hill and Bourke Cockran no more represents Populism than the Inquisition with its rack and thumbscrew represents Christ s -sermon on the mount. ."Democracy and Populism are as far from each other as the south and north Doles, and he who thinks otherwise will find hls mistake sooner'or later." Democ EEDS, Take up a Portland newspaper and read some of the clothing store ads, and it would seem as if some merchants nowadays are in business solely for the benefit of the people. Merchandise isfoffered at? half-price and less sacrifices that read like, an Arabian fairy-tale. Truthful advertising deeds, not words has built up a successful business at one of our stores, and it has been laid as the cornerstone in the foundation of the new store. We have goods at the lowest prices at which it is safe to buy, and at the highest at which it is worth while. Our advantages in buying in large quantities for two stores offers you a legitimate saving. f Men's Fine Suits Our Fall stock of expertly tailored garments will be found very complete at both stores. Gen tlemen who have b'een-hf the habit of paying some merchant tailors exorbitant prices for clothing will find the same elegant detail, correct style and handsome quality in our .garments. We show at both stores a large line of men's business suits at 0 00 Of strictly all-wool Oregon cloth; from that the prices range up as high as $30 00, with' stops all along the line to suit all purses. Single or double-breaste,d, blue serge suits,- $12 50. Oxford, vicuna and cheviot suits, $15 00. Fancy stripe and check worsted suits, $18 00. Hat E racy and Populism, -when they He, down together, will lie'down HkdHhe traditional lion and lamb. Populism stands for the best interests of the whole people; De mocracy stands for the loaves and fishes. Let 'Populists refuse further to listen to this Democratic Delilah. Let Populists vote for men who represent their prin ciples in their entirety, and refuse to be further used as the catspaw for pulling out of the fire Democratic chestnuts." THE PRESIDENT'S CHURCH. It Belongs to No Circdlt and Was Built to Accommodate Strangers. Woman's (Home Companion. The Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church, of Washington, D. C. known in this Administration as "the President's Church," was organized In 1833. The Methodist Bishops, under date of March IS of that year, issued a circular strong ly advocating the erection of a house of worship which should be national In char acter. It. was decided that the church should belong to no particular circuit; that It should be built with funds col lected in every portion of the United Stated, and that, in order to provide gen orous accommodation for strangers, as many pews "as possible should be free. The cornerstone was laid October 23, 1854, the address being made by "Bishop Simpson. But funds failed and war times came on, so it was not dedicated until March 7, 1S69. when Its cost had reached $225,000. The church Is a brown stone structure. In the gothlc stle cf architecture. The main entrance Is on C street. Three doors lead from tho vesti bule to the auditorium, which measures 61 feet by 85 feet. "When completed tt was considered the finest church audi torium In the District cf Columbia. Two of the pews were purchased for J1O0O each by Mr. Thomas Kelso. They were set apart for the President and the Chtef Justice of the United States. Other pws were purchased and reserved by nearly all the States and Territories of the Union and by several of its largest cities. Each pevr bears the name of the state or city to which it belongs, and one Is marked Canada." The seating capacity of the auditorium Is 1500. "Wide stair ways lead to the galleries, two of which extend the entire length of the auditor ium, and In which many of the pews are free. Mllitnrr Life at Tien Tain. After dinner the men of war relax and take to cards and billiards, and the cfife is a busy sight, says a correspondent In Harper's "Weekly. Here Is & group of Russians eagerly gathered about a ahle, staking rubles on "rouge et nolr." There Is a party of Germans playing poker. In a corner Is the German Com mander and some exalted personages having a very dignified game of pinochle. At one billiard table Is a party of Amer icans playing pool, at another are Eng lish. Sitting out In the veranda in the cool semi-obscurity, their cigarettes glow ing like many fire-files, are many men of many Nations. Slowly as the evening passes away, the groups thin, the clatter lessens, and one hears then the tramp of men, the-Ting of a rifie-butt upon the ground, the sounds of the sentries about the deserted streets. The. lights go out slowly, we mount to our rooms, and tin der the heavy and necessary mosquito net, Tien Tsln today is no more. Vast Trade Prospect for Uncle Sam.

Project Blicnnsed at a Series of Con ferences In Vancouver Pevf' of Details of Proposed Flan. VANCOUVER, B. C, Nov. 3. A salmon canners association, to control tho sal mon output of the Pacific Coast, has been discussed at a series of conferences in this city this week among represents tives from canneries on Puget Sound and this country. A prime provision of the suggested arrangement Is that owners shall practically soil out to the big pool, receiving a proportionate Interest in the wholo company. During the season just passed, every canneryman ran his establishment as he liked regarding the price of fish and other arrangements. The new company pro poses the syndicate plan. The labor ques tion, which caused a great deal of trouble during the past season, was not considered. There wilL bo a general pur chasing agent, who will be expert In such matters, and In taking large sup plies for all the canneries It Is expected there will he no trouble in effecting a large saving. It Is also the plan to have a representative in Great Britain, who will dispose of the pack there. M'KINLEY'S FIRST SPEECH. Inftlnl Effort on Political Stump a Wonder. CANTON, O., Oct. 27. On a dry-goods box, 4 feet long, 3 feet wide and 3 feet high, President McKinley made his first political speech in the little town of New Berlin, way bick in '65, writes "W. Frank McClure In tha Pittsburg Dispatch. The box stood in front of a house which has since burned down, and just Inside the gate of a wooden fence, within 100 feet of the four corners of the business center. The man. who introduced him to his first audience lives in a new brick house built within 10 feet of the location of the dry goods box which supported the President on that memorable night. The benches in front of the postofilce next door furnish a rcstlng--place for tho old politicians who here gather to get their mall dally and talk over the most'notable event In New Berlin's history, made notable by the achievements of the boy orator, SlgKin ley. In succeeding years. "Can you make a speech?" said Michael BItzer to "William McKInley when the speaker arrived from Canton, ready to follow Judge Underhlll upon the Impro vised stage. Michael BItzer was the chairman of the meeting. He Is now S3 years old, but he remembers the night he Introduced McKinley as though It were a happening of yesterday. The somewhat unexpected remark of the chairman of the meeting to the young man who was to make his debut before &. large audi ence rather took his breath away for a mement, but or the assurance of Judge Underhlll that Mr. BItzer meant no of fense, he regained his pleasant face, show ing the kind disposition which Is so char acteristic of him today. The President's BIniden Effort. "Could he speak?" saia Michael. "Well, I should say he could. Everybody was simply dumfounded. For nearly an hour he talked as never a young man in Stark County had talked before. I told Judge Underhlll, who accompanied him, after the meeting, that McKinley did a blamed sight better than he did, and the Judge, too, pronounced him a coming politician. "I really was surprised when Judge Un derhlll introduced that young strip of a boy to me, saying that he had come to make a speech In place of another Judge who was unable to be present. Of course. I only asked McKInley In a joke if he could make, a speech. I spoke, to him J much as I would to a boy, but I really did have my doubts about such a vounir man "doing justice io the occasion." Mr. W ORDS I Si 5. 00 Men's Shirts If you buy your furnishings at either one ofrour. stores, we will guide you along stylish lines, such as good dressers demand, at a reasonableness in. price. Some new and very exclusive stripes and colorings in our - Shirt. We carry a full line of dress shirts of Mon arch, Manhattan and E. & W. makes, dress shirts that won't "bulge" up on you, dress shirts that fit. STORE BItzer Introduced him as William Mc KInley, of Canton. He little thought he was introducing the coming President of the United States. McKInley arose and looked over his au dience. There was not a sign of the emo tion on his part which usually attends the first speech of a speaker. In stat ure he was not portly and strong like ho Is today. In fact, he wasn't even as tall. "But," says Mr. BItzer, "as I re member him, the same strong character istics which have been so notable in his public life within the last few years stood out forcibly on that night." He spoke under the glimmer of the street lighted by oil lamps, for that was before the days of electric lights. His strong personality and his kindly manner were noticed by the people of New Berlin. Sis hearty handshake, his pleasant smile, were all there, only waiting for opportunity and strength of purpose to develop them. McKinley Mistaken for n Driver. As McKInley and Judge Underhlll drove Into town In the early evening, and up to the hotel, many of the admiring audience of an hour and alialf later undoubtedly mistook the young man beside the stately Judge for the driver of the carriage. Mr. McKInley spoke In the open air, but not to the wlnde. There was silence which would admit of the audible dropping of a pin. The night was clear, uls voice was heard easily by those who sat 100 feet away on the steps of the store near the corner. He confined himself strictly to the issues of the campaign of '65, which, how ever, was not a Presidential one. He did .not once refer to notes. His vocabulary and active brain were his only prompters. "I just wondered," said Mr. BItzer, "whero he got all those words and Ideas." It was a pointer for one not to misjudge the power of youth in the future. "William McKinley, then about 20 years of age, had come to Canton hut a short time before he made his first speech from the rural district of Poland, in Mahoning County. His rise In the legal profession to the position of Prosecuting: Attorney of Stark County was rapid. Mr. BItzer Is justly proud; of, "introduc ing the President Into politics," as he calls it. Mr. BItzer Is an old soldfer and a life-long Republican. Ono day he drove to Canton. On the street he met Mr. Mc KInley and Perry S. Heath. "Here," said the President to Mr. Heath, as heput his hand upon Bltzers shoulder, "is the man who Introduced me Into politics." Then Perry and Mr. Bitzer shook hands. But this Is not the first time that Mr. McKIn ley has introduced the chairman of the first political meeting at which he spoke. Once Mr. Bitzer called at the Governor's office In Columbus, when Mr. McKInley was Governor. There were not less than a dozen people in the room. "This," said McKinley again, "Is the man who first Introduced me into politics." and Mr. Blt zer's hand was grasped not less than a dozen times. "Tes," says Bitzer, "Mc KInley and I are fast friends." The Presi dent greets him In the same way he does Joe Fisher, his old playmate at Nlles he puts his arm around him. Election Expenses Light in Frnncc. London Dally Mall. The nightmare of official expenses does not trouble an aspirant for Parliament ary honors. There is no heavy fee to be paid to the presiding official, the arrange ments for receiving and counting the votes being made by the Malrle of the district. The candidate may thus go to the poll without spending a sod, though, of course, it Is usual to indulge' in cam paign, literature and similar meaCns of ap pealing to the principles or prejudices of the electors. In addition to his 25 francs a day, the French Deputy enjoys the privilege of traveling free on the rail ways. There Is one section of Socialists, however, which requires Its adherents In the Chamber to pay 12 of their dally 25 francs into the party's war chest, a Spartan-like arrangement which Is not calcu lated to attract political Dugald Dalgettys to the party's banner.
