industry, was proved conclusively Vy
the report of Dr. Day of the United
State Geological Survey, read at the
Chamber of Commerce, lat night. In
cluded in the report were figures in de
tail, showing the difference in the sands
gatht-red and tested, and the quan
tity of the various kinds of metal which
they contained.
The report was addressed to the Hon
orable Charles D. Waleott, director :f
the United State Geological Sur.e.",
and will later be sent to Washington.
It was sent by Dr. Day, to Secretary
Biggins of the Chamber of Comment, .
and accompanying it was a letter, in
which he said:
"I have pleasure in mailing you
herewith in' addition to the first
rough preliminary report sent to
you in regard to the Columbia river
aaad4 ' the enclosed manuscript draft
of the more complete preliminary re
port, on which I have been engaged for
the last few weeks, and the results of
whioh have just been computed.
"I have also pleasure in sending you a
ample of the magnetic iron ore, tircon,
monazite, ilmenite, olivine, quartz, and a
sample of mixed minerals obtanied from
Columbia river sands, a well as a
small button of gold, containing also
platinum, obtained from your sand,

with a view to disooKinir of more or
less of this material for tJte manufac
ture of electric light pencil in the placf
of the usual carbon, a matter which 1
know will be of considerable interest
to you.
Dr. Day's letter and report were call
ed forth by the request of the local
Chamber of Commerce some time spo,
to test a quantity of the sand to bo
found on ClaUop beach. It is on these
sands that the report is made.
He now suggests that another kit'h
of sands be forwarded, and th'-t will 1
at once done. To this end,' a committee
consisting of II. G. Van Duen, C. R
Bigsins and Dr. J. A. Fulton, were p
pointed to raise the necessary f.iml
and another committee coikWliii2 of
John IL Smith, C. F. Lester and P.
Taylor was appointed to gather tie
sands. The cost is estimated at about
$lbO.' ' ;

machine, and the Industry aa a whole,
were present and conducted the exhibi
tion, f
At the close of the meeting, a vote of
thanks was given to Dr. Day for hi
painstaking effort in making the tests,
and for kindly advising the Vie chamber
of the results. The chamber was
crowded with visitors last evening and
much enthusiasm was manifested.
It was reported yesterday tint a
stock company, will be incorporated at
Chinook, where the sands are also very
rich, for the purpose of clipping and
operating a smelter.
The principal cot in the reduction of
the ore is iu the operation of tlie smelt
er, and by many tie belief is held that
the recent discoveries of natural gas,
will prove very useful along this line.
Kven though the smelter should 1 lo
cated some distance rom the place
where the crude material is found, this
would be quit immaterial, when the
low cost of production is considered.
Te-4 were made from aml taken
from eight different locations along the
beach, as follows: From Moore's Hotel,
Seaside; from Oca 1 hart Park Peach;
from West Stations from Carnahan'e
Station; from Warn-nton Station: from
Hammond Station, 130 feet North of
Railroad Station; from Hammond Sta
tion 1500 feet Wet of Railroad Station
at High Water mark, and from Hot torn
of Columbia River at Pillar Rock.
In the report, sands from each of
these eijjt locations is taken tip sepa

ed in each is shown. It is printed in
full below. The figures represent the

for the express purpose of making them
known before it was too late. Among
other things Senator Fulton said:
"Yes, I will leave next Sunday even

the reporter. "I certainly hope to do
so. 1 he prospect Is, however, that there

"Have you anything to say concern
ing the city election that is to occur
next monthi" wss the next question
propounded by the inquisitive reporter.
"WWI," said Mr. Fulton, "I have only
this to say; I have not lost interest in
local matters pertaining to Astoria and
Clatsop County. I .hope to see the Re
publicans name a good rlty ticket and
elect it This is a Republican city and
should have a Republican Government.
It is a serious mistake to aasume that
it U immaterial what the political com
plexion of local officials is. Success
in local elections is very important and
almost! a pre requisite to snores inj
state elections. No party can maintain
su organization tfiat Ignores or under-
estimates the importance of success in
local elections and organization is neces
sary to success. Rut there Is, to my
mind, a fsr greater reason wby the Re
publicans should make an earnest and
united effort for success at the coming
city elctioo. Publio gambling rooms
snd dam halls have been closed in
Astoria by Republican officials. I ap
prove aimolutHy that step. They
should be kept closed. No backward
step should I taken, no retreat should
be sounded in a matter of suh irrsvs
Importance to the good name and the
moral atmosphere of our city. It should
be well understood that a defeat of the
Republican ticket will be aecented as
condemning Uia action of closing such
institutions. This movement against
public gambling snd dance halls is no
crusade against the regularly licensed
saloon nor is there any deposition to
nterfere with tli m. It Is simply a de
mand that the laws shall I enforced
and that tin- foul dens shall lie ob
literated from our miiUt. It is a de
mand that thesi- snare net to entrap
the yoiit,'. of our city, to deprive the
family of the earnings of the husband
and father shall he wiped out and not
p-rmittcd to le m-l up again. For this,
it seems to me, every right thinking
itiwu will stand. For this every re-jH-ctable
sul.Niii ninn (and there are
oiuny) sin. old hUnd..
"What do you think of tlie outlook
for Astoria in the way of growth and

ceiUin improvnmnls or facilities In.lis-p-nsibh.
to her Ix-t possible growth and

cure that ami I am willing to assist
ny practical movement to secure one.
Another matter that should b.' UWn
up at oiu-o is t!,e completion of the
new court house. H occurs to me that
there should )m no troubfe In getting
twenty or moiv of our principal busi
neM men to associate themselves to
gWier f.r that purpose. Our banks
have plenty of money Wid will doubt
less advance surfieint, aay $75,000 to
complete the buililing. Let the county
convey the court hoiiso block to the
ls-nty or more citizens.. who supply
the money or to some company they
shall. Jorm, and Uke an option to re-purcha-e
on payimmt of the advances

annual rental suflicicnt to defray tlie
lmVws and relm- the princlisd so
that within five years it will own the
building. I would gladly ait in any
snoh undertaking. If wni such itepi
is not taken the unsightly condition of
the court house block will continue to
disgrace the city and the county will
suftVr the loss of the large sum already
invested In the foundation for the new
building.
