IS REAL
TOP GRADE COAIi BEING MINED
AT SCOTT'S MILLS.
Will Soon Be on the Market $40,
000 Spent In Machinery and
Development.
MT. ANGEL, June 12. Oregon at last
has a real coal mine, whence genuine
bituminous coal of highest fuel power
and coking quality will soon be ex
tracted in-commercial quantities. The
property Is located at Scotts Mills, six
miles back of Mt. Angel, and only 43
miles from Portland. A railroad has
been surveyed direct to the mine, and
it has been known for some time that
the Southern Pacific and the Oregon
Electric have both been casting eager
eyes toward the heavy lonage In sight.
Although over $40,000, it is said, has
been expended in machinery and devel
opment work, the full significance of
the find has not been realized until
now, as the mining- company avoided
spreading' information as to the quality
of the coal. Leases were quietly se
cured for 1000 acres over the vein and
the company acquired by purchase nine
acres within the village of Scotts
Mills itself. The water rights of Butte
Creek were also acquired for power.
Scotts Mills is located on Butte Creek,
which is the boundary line between
Clackamas and Marion counties.
Coal justtaken from thetmtne has
been used for domestic purposes in
Scotts Mills, with highly satisfactory
results, and it was learned that only
a small quantity was all that was
needed for the hottest fire. Tests and
demonstrations, it is said, have proven
that for steaming and heating pur
poses the coal possesses an efficiency
even higher than that from Rock
Springs and Wellington, up till now the
highest-priced coal in general use In
Oregon.
A Portland fuel company, it is said,
has been making strenuous efforts to
contract for the entire output of the
mine. The output will shortly be 200
tons a day. according to the report
from the men at the property, and can
be immensely increased owing to the
accessibility of the vein. The company
which has acquired the land and leases
and is installing the equipment 1 the
Oregon Diamond Coal. Mining & De
velopment Company, of Portland, with
a capital stock of $500,000. It is re
ported that aV considerable -number of
bankers, merchants, professional men
and wage-earners are among- the stock
holders; word as the nature' of the
find and the plans of the management
having been passed around quietly
from mouta- to mouth and the stock
snapped up eagerly as an investment.
C. T. EaTourneau. of Portland, well
kno as an experienced mining man,
I? known to have investigated the
proposition thoroughly, and as a result
of what he learned is said to have ac
quired an interest and taken a place
on the board of directors. A report
from a Portland assayer Is said to be
to the effect that the Scotts Mills coal
Is the best he ever found in Oregon.

SPAIN WANTS CLAIM PAID
Thinks Cuba Ought to Settle Part of
Island Debt..
HAVANA, June 12. It was learned here
today from an excellent authority that
tho action of Spain in endeavoring to ob
tain the payment by Cuba of her propor
tion of the Spanish national debt, results
in the following conditions:
During the negotiations of the treaty
ot Paris, the Spanish commissioners en
deavored to get the United States to as
sume this obligation.' This was refused.
and Spain, In renouncing her sovereignty
over Cuba, did not epeclflcajly abandon
her monetary claims, which were repre
sented by boids largely In the hands- of
French holders. The validity of this
claim expired 10 years after the signing
of the treaty. Hence, Spain, for the sake
of French bondholders. In 1908, Instructed
Gaytan de Ayala. her Minister here, to
renew the negotiations for the payment
of the debt. Spain had no serious expec
tation that this indebtedness would be
cancelled, but her purpose' was to im
press the bondholders with her firm in
tention not to abandon their claim and to
renew its vitality for an additional 10
years.
The intimation that Senator De Ayala's
recall was due to his failure to press this
claim, are today reiterated. It is be
lieved, also, that the Minister was re
lieved of his duties further to impress "the
bondholders, but the actual reason is de
clared to have been ill-health.
It is probable there will be offered a
resolution in Congress next Monday to
cancel the agreement made between Gov
ernor Magoon and Senor De Ayala under
the terms of which Cuba undertook to
purchase for $300,000 in three annual In
stallments, the Spanish cannon left in
the fortress of Cuba, and claimed by
Spain under the terms of the peace pro
tocol. ,
PANIC ON SINKING VESSEL
Two Carboj-9 of Acid Break and Add
to Peril.
PHILADELPHIA, June 12. An ex
plosion In the engine-room' of the
steamboat Shearwater on the Delaware
River, off this city, today Imperiled the
lives of about 50 persons, most of them
young women. They were taken from
the disabled vessel by a Philadelphia
fireboat. The Shearwater sank.
The Shearwater was backing out
from a wharf at Arch street when the
cargo became displaced by bumping
against the wharf, causing the vessel
to list. The women passengers became
panic-stricken, and rushed for life
preservers. To add to the excitement, two car
boys of acid broke, the fluid running
down into the engine-room, forcing the
engineer to leave his post, without shut
ting off the steam. The captain, fearing
that his vessel was slowly settling down,
blew his whistles. A dozen boats went
to his aid and the ipassengers were
rescued.
The Shearwater floated downstream and
sank.

PARK. Following Are Several
Good Reasons Why It Is Advisable
to Locate There Now
All Portland property is rising rapidly, particularly desirable residence
property. IRVINGTON PARK, being most opportunely located, cannot re
main long at present prices. While prices are still wonderfully low, we are
offering, unusual inducements to bomebuilders. The new carline to the center
of IRVINGTON PARK has opened this delightful section of the city to those
who demand quick and frequent transportation. Already, over thirty new
homes have been built in IRVINGTON PARK and more building.
Through the new part of IRVINGTON PARK, now being offered for sale
for the first time, another carline is to be built at once. Not often do so
many delightful features appear in combination as in IRVINGTON PARK.
Its location, transportation, improvements, view and restrictions are such as
to make the property inviting to the most discriminating. Whether you pur
chase a lot or not, a trip to IRVINGTON PARK this day will give you a bet
ter, broader and more interesting opinion of the City of Portland than you
ever held before. Many of "you never knew that Portland was the possessor
of such a delightful piece of property as that known by the name of IRVING
TON PARK. And, again, it is sold now at prices far below those asked by
all adjoining, property, having little or nothing to compare with this piece.
