carriers of The Oregonian who were

entertained ai in v-wnimertmi "
Friday night under the auspices of the
newspaper which they serve.
They are more than mere newsboys.

the field to work systematically In
building up the circulation of the paper
and caring for the circulation it already
has.
Many of the carriers are already en
tering business activities which they
are carrying on in conjunction with
their carrier work, and practically all
of them have detemined already what
line of business they Intend to take up
when they have graduated" from the
carrier route. There are In the entire
1SJ. only 18 who. when questioned by
Mr. Hopwood. of the circulation de
partment of The Oregonian. had not
definitely determined upon their future
plan for a life work.
Twenty-oae Would Be Lawyers.
In the range of their ambitions there
are 3 different trades or professions.
Twenty-one Intend to be lawyers. 15
civil engineers. 11 mechanics. 10 doc
tors, nine merchants and in lesser num
bers In the list are found boys who In
tend to become farmers, electricians,
engineers. lumbermen and so on
through the long list which covers
nearly every leading occupation of the
modern day. Two young men Intend
to become bankers and both, in addi
tion to their work on the carrier routes,
already occupy positions of trust In
large banks of the city. Two are plan
ning to attend the naval academy and
Mr. Hopwood announced at the banquet
that they h.'d passed their examina
tions. grk Pnraaed Serloualy.
This appeared characteristic of all of
the boys: not only have they made
definite plans for their life work, but
they are alraady working Into It In a
serious and effective manner that Indi
cates that their ambition Is real and
their purpose sincere.
More than 100 of them have savings
or checking accounts In the banks of
the city and out of the 183. 170 are at
tending schools of some kind, either
high school, grammar school or tech
nical schools.
Working on The Oregonian routes the
young men earn an average of $34 a
month, the profits of some of the more
experienced ones each month amount
ing to from $80 to $S0 a month. The
total profits of the 1S3 each month are
$S22I.
They are not all boys. There Is one
carrier who has been In the service for
1 1 years, and who Is now 64 years old.
There are two carriers who are 40 and
others whose ages range between 20 j
and 35.
But the great majority of them are
less than 10 years of age, the majority
of them being about 1. which is the
average age for the carrier. Seventeen
carriers are 14 years of age: two are 13
and three are 12 years old. but The
Oregonian as a rule does not desire
carriers less than 15 or 1C
00 oa Waltlag List.
Nor do the boys have simple, plain
sailing on their routes. The carriers'
Jobs on The Oregonian routes are
eagerly sought and at the present time,
there. Is a waiting list of 00 names on
file In Mr. Hopwood's office, from
which successors must be picked In
case anyone abandons or is obliged to
give up his route. The keen demsnd
among young men for positions on The
oregonian carriers' routes are an lndi- j
ration of the business value which Is
sttached to this work by ambitious
young fellows of the city.

Dr Mary I Evans has Just been appointed by Judge Gatens as
psychological examiner for the Juvenile Court Dr. Evans Is a graduate
of the Woman's Medical College of Philadelphia: was Interne at Block
ley and later was assistant physician at the Pennsylvania State Hos
pital for the Insane at Norrlstown. For the part three years she has

331.000 pounds. In other words the
carrier has in the lost four and one
half years carried from the office of
The Oregonian and deliyored- to the
subscribers 166 tons of paper. The
oldest carrier on the staff, who has
been In the service 11 years, has car
of papers.
Speaking for themselves at the ban
quet Friday night, the carriers were
not stinting in tneir tnouies 10 mo im
portance their work on the carrier
routes has had in giving them a start
toward the business careers they are
planning.
Tribute Paid to Boys.
"Of course we have to get up at 4
o'clock in the morning, and of course
sometimes the route seems long," said
one of the young fellows, "but when I
look It all over, there Is a training In
the work and an opportunity to put
one's self on his own feet that out
weighs any of the discomforts that one
may encouter."
Looking over the array of young men
at the assembly Friday night one of
the leading department store men of
the city who was a guest at the ban
quet after hearing the account of their
plans and ambitions and the effective
manner in which they are working for
the achievement of their plans, said:
"There couldn't be brought together
In the City or anywhere else, an equal
number of young men who show such
promise as these. I wish I could gather
as ambitious a bunch from the ranks
of the department store workers, but
It can't be done. Toung men, you are
bound to succeed, for you have got the
stuff In you that wins, and that Is a
pretty scarce commodity among the
young men of the present generation."

Work In Crossing Gulch at Broadway
and Wheeler Street liaised From
$5000 to $12,580 and Paid
From Bridge - Fund.
An example of the manner in which
the Rushlight administration has
shifted financial responsibility from the
shoulders of a select few to the tax
payers Is shown In the proceedings on
a fill recently completed across a guicn
at Broadway and Wheeler street, on
the East Side. In this particular case
It Is shown that a burden of about
$5000, which should have been against
the property owners benefited, was
shifted and In its place a burden of
$12,580.16 Imposed upon the general
taxpayers of the city.

time It was proposea to exienu orona

MINE BUREAU ACTS
Opinions From Prospectors
and Experts Are Sought.
SUGGESTIONS ARE INVITED
Chairman H. X. lVawrie Vrge Men
Interested In Work Laid Out for
Xewly Created Commission to
Offer Advice and Aid,
Opinions of mining men and pros
pectors are sought by the Oregon
Bureau of Mines, which recently was
organized under authority of the gtate.
A meeting of the bureau will be held
the first week in June and some steps
possibly will be taken at that time to
assist the prospector in his work and
outline a plant that will aid' in the de
velopment of producing mineral dis
tricts in the state.
A discussion of this subject has been
started through' a communication which
H. A. Mears, a veteran miner and pros
pector, of Gold Hill, presented through
The Oregonian a few days ago. '
H. N. Lawrie, chairman of the bu
reau, is inviting other mining men to
offer suggestions so that the bureau
may be guided, as much as possible,
by their advice and experience.
Records to Be Kept.
"I am a lover of the prospector and
his life," said Mr. Lawrie yesterday.
"I have devoted considerable time since
coming to Oregon to fields which were
unexplored when I struck them for the
reason that I wanted to size up the
future possibilities of Oregon mineral
resources.
"A most important feature of the
work of the bureau will be the record
ing of the results of the prospector.
These results have been lost In the
past, which represents a tremendous
loss in the mining industrial develop
ment of the state. A record of a fail
ure in my sight is Just as important
as a success so far as encouraging in
telligent development Is concerned and
in this way to avoid the useless ex
penditure of large sums of money
which would otherwise be directed to
pay a dividend.
"The technical graduate does not fol
low the surface prospecting business,
but there is a vast amount of ore
which has been discovered, and oil and
coal as well, through the platting of
the geology accurately by the trained
man and the use of the diamond arm.
In fact this form of prospecting has
made rapid strides of advancement in
recent years. A low-grade ore of vast
volume cannot be accurately estimated
as to value so cheaply in any other way
and yet so efficiently. Again there are
certain earmarks which are reveaiea
by the microscope through a study or
the wall rocks and ore gangues in the
various sections which tend to elimi
nate the risk or luck of the game, for
in many cases we find repetitions of
the manner of occurrences. This means
provides a short cut to results and Is
a guide to tha manner of development.
"The bureau must necessarily conduct
such tests along this line as will put
us out of doubt as to the mode
of origin and the manner of enrich
ment and the association with certain
wall rocks. From my own observations
serpentine plays an important part as
an associated wall of the free milling
quartz of Southern Oregon. Diorlte
with secondary quartz is not an un
common gangue. I am not making a
plea for the technical graduate as a
prospector, but I do state that without
th technical graduate the success of
the prospector In the ultimate develop
ment of his prospects will never reach
a high state of efficiency. What we
want Is close oo-operatlon to win bene
fits of both.
"I agree that the bureau of mines
should render a qualitative test for the
minerals of commercial Importance In
a specimen. But I am in doubt as to
whether the bureau should make quan
titative tests or assays for the various
commercial elements. There is a power,
ful argument against this latter form
of test. I have been conducting an
analytical laboratory for eight years
and nine-tenths of the samples pre
sented represent a vein. A sample
which does not accurately represent
the vein Is either accountable for a
man's spending a lot of money useless
ly or of the rejection of a property
which might have, considerable merit.
Therefore I am firmly of the opinion
that all quantitative work should.be
done only upon the samples taken by
the bureau engineer in the Held. When
ever a bureau operative is in the fluid,
prospects should be examined and
sampled and a copy of the return sent
to the locator, the results of course to
remain for the use. of the bureau, but
In absolute privacy except where
written permission could be obtained
by the bureau to publish the same. I
can see where such a publication might
inure to the benefit of the prospector
and there are instances where It would
be decided In favor of secrecy for the
protection of the locator.
Lectures Are Proposed.
"The mere knowledge of certain
values even when the results are ac
curately representative of the vein is
not final recommendation of the prop
erty. The geological relationship of
the vein Is a most important point
to investigate.
"It has occurred to me that It would
be a great help to the prospector to
attend a course of lectures illustrated
by the actual minerals in the Winter
months when his activities are very
slight as a rule. In this way his eye
would become quickened and the mat
ter of selecting his specimens to better
advantage and thus abbreviate the work
of Jhe bureau and thereby increase the
efficiency of the same is apparent.
This manner of helping the prospector
is popular In Cafiada and in my opinion
Is very practical.
"The affidavit of development work
done in accordance with a state sta
tute is really unnecessary red tape, but
the prospector and the industry ought
to feel well satisfied with progress al
ready made in winning for the state
the bureau of mines and geology and
at some later date argument can be
Introduced to alleviate this situation."

MALHEUR, Or., May 24. (Special.)
Jay A. Czlzek. State Mine Inspector
of Idaho, during the administration of
the late Governor Steunenberg, of
Idaho, will shortly expend 20,000 In
development work on the Rod, Whlta
and Blue quartz mine here, under
bond to Newton J. Mlnton, who ac
quired the property about one. month
ago on a Joint J35.000 deal with George
H. Bodflsh and Dr. Smith D. Taylor,
both of Malheur. Czlzek and Mlnton
both live at Boise, Idaho.
Before the entry of Czlzek into loosl
mining circles. Dr. Taylor and David
K. Worsham, also of Malheur, had beea
operating the mine, with six stamps
running in connection, as co-partners,
under terms of purchase from George
H. Bodflsh, the original owner. Wor-
l-inm ih.n withdrew. Tavlor surrender
ing a half Interest In the Lynn placers
for Worsham's interest In the Red.
White and Blue. Taylor next moved
away to Emmett, Idaho, after making
a final cleanup, disposing of his Inter
est to Newton J. Mlnton, who Is now
bonding to Czlzek.
Gold Dredge to Be lard.
The first gold dredge ever Intro
duced Into the Malheur mining district
is about to be Installed on the Clark's
Creek placer property of 52 acres by
the owners of the property. Emll Mel
zer and John L. Rand, of Baker, sc
cdrdlng to reports brought here from
Bridgeport. Associated in the deal,
which is not yet completed, is the
mining co-partnership of Batohelor,
Krlbs, Wheelwright & Cartmill, of
Portland. The dredge is to cost about
$100,000. and will be shipped in in sec
tlons by way of Brogan and Malheur.
It was adjacent to the Clark's Creek
gravel bar where William H. Pack
wood, of Baker, and James W, Virtue,
famous pioneers of Oregon, made their
first big profits in the Northwest.
Packwood expended $2900 in sinking
ore holes, then took out $50,000 from
another, and later, under the mining
firm name of Packwood & Stutsmann,
garnered an additional profit of $25,
000. Virtue located and made an
equally big strike on the Virtue placer.
The placer on which the dredge will
operate has never been worked and Is
declared Immensely valuable.
