' All arran cements have been perfected for the mass meeting of citizens of rortlan called for Monday night. ,The parlors of the Commercial club have been .donated for the purpose and every citizen and buBlnes man of Portland win be expected to avail-himself of the opportunity of hearing men from outside of the state as well as at home Elve their views of the state and the benefit to be derived, from the meeting of the American Mining congress and the Levis and Clark fair. Governor Chamberlain will preside and talks will be given by Mayor WlUlams, Hon. J. XL Kichards of Idaho, who is president ef the congress, Colonel Thomas Ewlng ef California and Secretary Irwin Ma fcon of Pennsylvania. Judge Kichards had the following to say in regard to Oregon yesterday: - "That the state of Oregon is ra juicily leomlng forward and is being recognized as a great mining .center is best evi denced by the fact that Portland has secured the meeting of the American Mining congress to be held August 22 to 27 Inclusive. Of the mines of the state much might be said, but it Is sufficent to say that the output of the (nines of Oregon is much greater . than nine out of ten of men interested In the welfare ef the state are aware. "A few wiU prove the output Is over $5,000,000 per year and yet Oregon Is only credited with tl.SSiMO by the director of the mint, when one mine alone In Eastern Oregon (the North Pole) produced last year from returns received from the smelters and assay offices $1,060,000. The Bonanza, which is in close proximity to the North Pole, Is credited with as great an output Besides this, there is the Columbia, Qolconda, California, E and E, Phoenix, I X U Belcher, Morning, Snow Creek, and Dixie Meadows, all of which have each produced on a conservative aver age, of $100,000 during 1903. This Is not 'taking into consideration the pro ducers of Southern Oregon Such as the Greenback, whose monthly cleanup la $30,000, or the Iucky Boy and Granite Mills mine, the output of each of the latter amounting to over 1150,000. In the foregoing is not mentioned the placer mines of which Oregon abounds which at a very conservative estimate is $500,000. "There are $7 paying mines In Ore gon and this year will add at least IS more.-. -r i "The great need ef the mines of Ore gon is a United States assay office and a state mine Inspector. By the former the output would be credited to Oregon Instead of the bullion and placer gold being shipped to Boise, Seattle, and San Francisco It Is in this way that Ore gon Is deprived of the credit and Idaho receives that credit, they having United States assay offices within their bor ders. When a stats which produces gold has no government assay office there is no way of having the output correctly reported, as was the case of South Dakota in the report of 1(03. The director of the mint gave the state a credit of less than $2,000,000. The matter was taken up by the American Mining congress and the government authorities investigated and found the report was incorrect and that instead of $2,000,000 the state was entitled to a credit of over $8,000,000 which is now the amount which the government re ports as authentic. "The meeting ef the mining congress in Portland not only means much for the mines of Oregon, but much more for tit TRADE MARK REG. TO LEAD IN SOCIETY Requires brain and beauty. The former you must be be born with and have it developed to a keen, alert and brilliant condition. , Beauty is either a matter oi preservation or nro- duction. U - AR. DAS (Liquid . (&ml V.C Face Powder) does both. JTi ' FORIJtLR HV " JILL DRUGGISTS the farmer,' the dairyman, livestock man, merchant, business man and in fact every one interested In the advance ment of Oregon, both from a com mercial and financial standpoint. "Many business men.: wonder 'what good the Influx of mining men to the state will do them. Do not the miners eat, wear clothing and spend money In divers ways? Are they not the con sumers and not the producers? Is it not to the mines that Portland owes her start? Was it not the hardy prospector who first discovered a traU over her hills and biased the way for the rail roads that pour the miners' wealth Into the laps of the business men of the state? Was it not the miner who opened up the West and made the bar ren hills productive of gold when they were unfitted to any other industry? These and many other matters of in terest to the West form his . mission irrespective of what a man's occupation may be." , - The meeting tomorrow night at the Commercial club Is but one of many social events that wiU take place during the next six months under the auspices of the Oregon Miners' association. The leading men of the Commercial club, Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, and Manufacturers' association have ac cepted the responsibility of making the establishment of headquarters of the congress at Portland a nucleus from which much literature will be sent ad vertising the city of Portland, the fair and state of Oregon. Thousands of circulars illustrating the city, and con taining matter relative to the Lewis and .Clark exposition will be sent broadcast throughout the country. The executive committee will meet . Monday and de cide on headquarters and from now on ths press dispatches will be full of news with Portland as the date line. Colonel Swing's Odd Traits. Col. Tom Ewing, first vice-president of the American Mining congress, is considered a "wonderfuUy expressive" man. . The colonel halls from every where. His legal residence Is said to be Los Angeles but he always indig nantly denies the fact and says: "I'm from California. That's my state. ' Arizona claims mo and so do some of the other states and territories of the Southwest, and I draw the line at any one place." - Colonel Ewlng'ls In Portland to attend a conference of the executive committee of the congress. He is blunt and weatherbeaten and shows the marks of years of tramping over the mountains in quest of the "glittering substance." During the quarter of a century or more since he made his appearance in the mining camps of the West, he has managed to pick up. bits of speech that he admits have helped at times. Sitting in a chair at the Portland hotel last night he related an experience he once had with an Episcopal bishop and several teams of unruly mules. He Tells a story. ! "The bishop, a young lady and my self," said the colonel, "were coming down n Arizona mountain road in a stage coach one afternoon. At a nar row pass we encountered ' several ore teams coming up. Each wagon " was hauled by a string of mules and the animals had become entangled , and unruly. It looked for awhile as though we would not be able to get past and the mule drivers appeared as rattled as their teams. -Excuse me.blshop,' I remarked, ('but t guess I'll have to get dpwn there and talk to them fellows in' their own lan guage.' So X got out of the coach and -well, I talked right to those men and the mules, too. The result was " the teams were 'straightened out and we were able to get by. . "When I climbed back into the stare t excused myself "Tor the . words I hadJ used, but Informed the bishop that a man bad . to adapt himself to circum stances and use the right vernacular to be properly understood. . " 'Say not another word, replied the bishop In a gentle yolce, raising his band lit a playful gesture, wonder fully expressive language; a wonder fully expressive language!"

George Taylor, of the shipping Ann of Taylor, Toung c Co received a let ter last evening from Captain .J.- J. Proud, master of the British steamship Inverness, ' which Is now discharging a cargo of sugar at Vancouver B.' C. Before proceeding to Portland the cap tain states that the steamer will be taken on the dry dock; at Esquimau to be cleaned and painted. But he says that this work can be easily completed within two or three days. The weather at Vancouver Is very sim ilar to that which has been experienced at Portland, and as a result not very rapid progress has been made In the matter of .discharging the steamer's cargo. It consists of sugar altogether, and to save It from being damaged has to be bandied during good weather. 1 Im mediately following her arrival the vessel lay Idle several days on account of heavy rains. Mr. Taylor reports that the vessel will probably arrive here about April 1. "It is a pity," he concluded, "that the local dry dock Is not ready for operation. Had It been the Inverness might have come down here for treatment She Is very foul and is badly In need of, clean ing. It is a small Job, however, and will be the means of delaying her only a short time." . ' The1 Inverness is under charter to the government to carry 1,800,000 feet of lumber and 2,000 tons of oats to the Philippines. By the time she arrives the cargo will be at the docks, and no time will be lost In 'giving her quick despatch. The prolonged run from Java to Vancouver was caused by, the foul condition of her hull. " ; ' ' ' Relative to the allusion made to the Portland . drydock, many shipping men are of the opinion that before such a large vessel as the Inverness is taken on for treatment it should thor oughly tested. , They assert , that 'this should be done with small vessels, and In the event that it did not work prop erly on the start no great amount of damage Is likely to occur. There has been some talk of testing it with one of the Port of Portland's fleet. - An Ultimatum. From the Chicago News. .
