Gen. Yamada, with the capture of M
additional guns, has giwn way this
morning to a calmer and more sober ap
praisement of these partial successes.
There is no official continuation of the
report that General Kuropatkin has re
sumed a genuine offensive. Rather the
general Japanese offensive has exhausted
itself, and that the position of the
armies is now a sort of deadlock, with
the country ren lered so sodden by tl e
heavy rain as to compel a temporary
su-ieusion of general operations.
SUICIDE BEFORE CAPTURE.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 19. During the

in a Chinese village, but only five sur

MARSTERS' DRUG STORE
Portlaxd, Oct. 19. Pending erection
of a concentrator and perhaps a leaching
plant, Manager H. Banfield of the Rain
bow Mining, Milling iV Smelting com
pany, in Douglas county, has suspended
underground development. H. W. Ban
field, son of the manager "and superin
tendent at the time, came to the city
yesterday and is registered at the Im
perial. His mission when he left the
mine was in Denver, but developments
since departure recall him there a few
days before continuing to the Colorado
city.
Mr. Banfield says that the total de
velopment now completed on the Rain
bow aggregate more than 5,000 feet.
This work has been concentrated on one
location, and on a plan of permanent
operation. Six adit levels 100 feet
apart have been established, and, drifts
extended on the Rainbow main ore
shoot. The first level consists of 900
feet of crosscut and 300 feet of drift. The
lower level is a crosscut of about CO
feet and drift of S00 feet. In this deep
drift crosscuts have been made everv
100 feet along the course of the vein,
proving that walls are on the average
about 25 feet apart. In the last cross
cut a drive of 07 feet has been made
without the further wall being reached
as yet. Levels have been established
each 100 feet between Noe. 1 and t, and
the ore body opened in this work by
drift and crosscut. Mr. Banfield says
that blocking has been quite thorough,
that the reserve in sight is ample for
the work of a large mill.
A force of eight men was engaged
underground until laat Thursday. Thev
were in the lower level, where the vein
is widening materially. The face of this
drift gives backs of approximately 1,000
feet, and as the drift extends into the
hill, increases depth rapidly, fjaatf the
apex of the hill beyond present work the
depth will be 1,200 to 1.500 feet.
The Rainliow has essentially a copper
ore, gold values being present in most
ropper and improving with depth. For
the first 200 feet oxidation is very thor
ough, and in this zone excellent values
if both gold and copper were opened.
Sulphide and copper pyrites come in on
all the lower levels and show marked
uniformity. Vein filling is a schist im
pregnated with quartx, the latter carry
ing the metal content. Several mining
men have examined the Rainbow of late,
which is the pioneer in its immediate
vicinity, and Mr. Banfield says they pro
nounce it one of the largest copper pro
positions opened in the state.
The group, consisting of nine claims,
is situated on Drew creek, a tributary
of the South Umpqua. The Umpqua
offers abundant power, estimates indi
cating that 5,000 may be had within five
to six miles of the mine. There is water
in Drew creek for a concentrator.
Associated with Mr. Banfield in
ownership of the Rainbow are eastern
people. Recently the president of the
company died, else plans would have
been consummated for a reduction plant
ere this. Mr. Banfield, Jr. believes all
will be arranged for this improvement
early in the spring, at which time it is
the purpose to reopen full blast, mining
and milling on a large scale.
BOHEMIA STAMP MILL RUNNING.
Portland, Oct. 19. I. B. Hammond
returned today from the Bohemia dis
trict, where he went last week to super
intend the installation of a ten-stamp
mill at the Vesuvius mine. Hie mill
was installed without trouble, and to
day it was started up for continuous
work.
Mr. Hammond reports that there is
about 1500 tons of ore In the stops at
the mine, so there will be plenty of work
for the mill, the capacity of which can
easily be increased to 15 stamps.
"Miners in the Bohemia district,"
Mr. Hammond said, "are pushing de
velopment work, and some are finding
very rich ores. Since the recent rains
there has been no complaint lecause of
shortage of water."

ay morning at 10 o'clock.
The vessel hail been anchored near
le buoy off the mouth of the river dur
ing Saturday night, but as the waves
were running mountain high and the
wind blowing a hurricane, the anchor
chain parted. Another anchor was cast
overboard, which kept the vessel from
the beach for the time being. At 9 :30
unday morning the second anchor
chain parted and the boat was driven
ashore, where she is now fast breaking
to pieces.
Geo. Martin, owner of the vessel, was
on board, accompanied by his wife. The
crew of seven men swam through the
surf and reached shore in saietv. Mr.
Martin and wife were taken from the
ship in a row boat from the shore.
The Alice Kimball was to take a cargo

Coos and Curry, both coast counties, are largely engaged in the dairy
business. 1-ake ami Klamath counties in southextern regon, owing to the
vast ranges of bunch grass on the mountains and the wonderful yield of
alfalfa in the vailevs, is principally devoted to stock raisinc. The want of
railroad facilities has retarded their horticultural development.
The soils and climatic conditions of these counties are favorable to hor
ticultural development and it will be but a short time when the great profits
from apple gP'wing will engage the attention of these four counties, as
railroads are now being built into these counties.
To describe by counties the value and extent of lands adapted to horti
cultural pursuits in the Third lM'strict. 1 find is impossible. The area of such
lands are so vast that an estimate of the acreage and the value would be
mere guess work and be f little practical value. It is not unreasonable for
me to sav mat at me present, not i per cent of tne lands of the seven
counties of the Third District adapted to horticultural pursuits are planted.

To approximate the value of horticultural land, there are bearing ap

their owners i an acre. It must be unuYrsttHxi that not all bearing or

that sum per acre, as there are orchards that have only paid (ISO to $200

A Practical Paten! Gate.
J. H. Vandever and Wm. R. Wells,
of Olalla, have patented a gate which is
simple in construction, practical either
for the farmer or city resident, and is
strong and durable. The great feature
of this gate is its self-closing device and
the absence of any springs or complicat
ed and expensive fittings.
Every part of it can be manufactured
in the farm work shop. Another meritor
ious feature of this gate is found in its

High Sckeal Teacher Doatissea.
Cottage Grove, Oct. 19. Something
of a stir has been created in Cottrge
Urove during the last few days over the
dismissal of one of the high school
teachers by the board of directors be
cause she failed to produce her certifi
cate. Miss Shivelv, of Portland, is the
teacher referred to, and although all the
other teachers produced certificates and
signed contracts within a few days of
the school opening, Miss Shively put
the board off until they could not allow
such a state of affairs any longer.
Miss Elsie Lea, of this place, has been
secured to fill the vacancy. The matter
would have passed off all right but for
the fact that the deposed teacher in
sisted on holding her position regardless
of the law.
By comparing the cross value of the out-put of 1901 and liK2 with
1903 and 1904, it will be seen that the value has increased in two years
$587,000. This, notwithstanding in 1903 our peach crop was nearly a fail
ure and in UHM our prune crop was not over io per cent of a normal crop
This increase in value the past two years is due to the fact that many new
orchards have come into bearing and growers, by thinning out their fruit
and better cultivating and spraying, have grown a higher grade of fruit that
commands better prices in the markets.

Many Lane county farmers are going
to raise Angora goats, 100 J of which ani
mals have been purchased in New Mexi
co for distribution in that county. The
Cottage Grove Leader says : "The silky
hair of the goat brings from 40 to 50
cents a pound, and there is a great de
mand for it by manufacturers. Already
more than 6,000,000 pounds of hair is im
ported annually from the far east. This
is an industry which is developing very
fast in this conntrv, and there is no
good reason why we should not raise all
we consume."

From the best data I am able to obtain, Coos, Curry, Lake and Klam
ath counties, produce more than enough apples, prunes and small fruits, such
as strawberries, blackberries, etc., for domestic use, and Coos and Curry ex
port to California markets about 5,000 boxes annually. From the foregoing
estimates it will be observed that the horticultural industry of the Third Dis
trict is in a healthy condition anil rapidly expanding.
During 1903 and 1904 there were planted in Jackson county, about
4,000 acres in apples and pears. During the same period, Douglas county
! planted 1500 acres in apples and pears and Josephine county about 200
acres in apples, making a total of 7200 acres of new orchards for the two
years.
From present horticultural production and only 10 per cent of the land
adapted to fruit raising planted in the district, the magnitude of the in
dustry in a few years will be large.
The great profits derived from apple and pear growing is from year to
year stipulating the planting of new orchards.
I estimate that Jackson county will plant 3000 acres to apples and pears
next winter. Douglas county 200 acres and Josephine 500 acres.

Portland, Oct. 18. The timber
thieves who have been fearful of indict
ment by the federal grand jury, which
convened this morning, are to have one
more respite. With perhaps a single
unimportant exception, no evidence in
relation to the land frauds is to be sub
mitted to this grand jury and no effort
will be made by the government to se
cure further indictments. No subpoenas
for witnesses against those concerned in
the frauds have been issued by United
Suites District Attorney John Hall.
The government's inaction is a sur
prise, yet it does not necessarily indicate
an abandonment of the effort to reach
those of the conspirators who have thus
far escaped from the clutches of the law
Secret agents of the interior department
are still engaged in ferreting out the
