City, Or.. Dec. 28. Sinking a abaft on. the main ore shoot of the Dixie Meadows mine is the solution of the water problem advanced by the management, and on which work has probably been begun. Instead of sink ing In "barren ground to develop water for domestic and milling purposes, It has occurred that in the natural course of development an ample aupply will be brought- within reach of the pumps. Lack of water has troubled the man agement both winters that an effort was made to run the concentrator, owing to the fact that the mine Is located near the summit of the divide between Ruby aad Dixie creeks. Kuby creek attains but a limited volume at the millalte. and the efforts to develop a larger flow from eft land above have not been entirely sjsjrrrsnfiil The flow from tha main adit is strong, and It la believed that a little additional depth will give all the water "heeded at the mill. The manage ment will have to depend upon the pumps for on.'., ahort periods In midwin ter and late fall. The work will open the big ore shoot at greater depth than Jt has been explored, and will add great ly to tbe worth of the mine, If values are proven to continue well pelow tne permanent water level. AID ISOLATED MINES TO MAKE AN EXHIBIT H. H. Nicholson, manager of the Stand ard mine. Grant county, who came to Portland to meet with exposition officials In regard to an exhibit of cobalt ore. was given assurance that a large quan tity of tbe rare ore would be welcomed and given conspicuous place In the mines and mineral building. Mr. Nicholson urged the fair officers to spend money in some of the more Isolated districts in gathering ore. and was told that this would be done if posalbla. Many meri torious prospects are distant from rail way lines, the owners are poor, and unless they are aided In some way. they .will not be able to get much of their pres out for exhibit purposes. ronig LmOATTOaT SJTDZD.

"BIG GUNS OVERPAID" IN DIVISION OF SPOILS States That Coup Was Planned to Leave Small Fry at Bot tom of Heap. From the Seattle Times. Horace Q. McKlnley or Portland, who. with other persons, has been Indicted by the rederal grand Jury on the charge of defrauding the government In con nection with the Oregon land office frauda, Is a guest of the Rainier Grand. In an Interview he makes the following ststesments: 1 "Senator Mitchell will likely be In dicted. "Congressman Hermann Is In the same Mt "If. that prove true, then the political end of the Mitchell party In Oregon, which has dominated the state for years. Is now in sight. "Some one. or some people, will go behind the bars. "There are as big. If not bigger, guns than Senator Mitchell who are yet to be heard from, i "The frauds are most extensive and have been going on for years." "Tea, I was mixed up In them," ssld McKlnley. "The Oregon press declsres we 'squealed' and that we have been promised Immunity from all prosecu tion. That I brand as a deliberate false hood. What little information we gave the representatives of the government was given simply because the big guns. the ones who had been overpaid when it came to a division of the spoils, ha-1 planned a very clever coup in which we smaller fry were very mucn m tne bottom of the heap. Self-preservation mav be the first haw of nature, but It sometimes counts the most to the fellow iliat acts there last. Anyway. In a case of that kind, a man never makea any thing by trying to shoulder the blame onto the other fellow. They Wars "Ovsrpaia." "Personally I know nothing about either Mitchell or Hermann. I merely know they were 'overpaid.' " "Yes. lie added with a snort lsugh, they were 'overpaid. " "If It'a a fair question, how did you happen to get mixed up In thla deal?" asked the reporter. Mr. .McKlnley laughed a little, and rui his lingers through his wealth of jet black hair. He then, pulled his sort crtfsh hat down over his eyes, and In tently studied the thing on the floor of the hotel ofllce. Finally ne said: "It's a pretty long atory, but oh, well, you know.

In the follow ing eighteen months -I gradually reached the last stages of consumption. No less than seven physicians treated me and all gave me up saying I was incurable I was absolutely helpless. The whole family wore themselves out caring for me. One day another and sister came to my bedside tTaid I had but a day or two more to live. Tears rolled down their cheeks as they sobbed the news. The doctors had declared I was in the last stage, and no human being could save me. I was willing to die, but before going to the cruel grave, I wanted to go out and see my dearly beloved town of Sidney once more. They told me such a thing was impossible that I would surely die before I got back. But I insisted, and to gratify my dying wish, a carriage was fitted up with a bed of pillows, and to this I was carried and slowly driven around Court House Square. I got home more 'dead than alive. Through the mercy of Providence, someone " brought a trial bottle of medicine said to" be a consumption cure. No one imagined for an instant it was worth trying. But as a drowning person grasps at a straw, so I tried this medicine. I was better after tak ing two doses. Mother got more of the medicine and I took it, improving all the time. Today I am as welT as any reader of this paper, and the medicine that cured me was Acker's English Remedy for Consump tion. I declare before God and man that every word here printed is true."
