The Canadian Pacific Is taking shipments' from the tram terminal and the new furnace will be blown in next week. With the great' reserves In sight, -and the aheap system of quarrying ore.

Two streams having their source in springs which do not vary at any season, have been tapped. The property is but 0C feet above sea level, aad with water rights, will be able to work tit year round. Timber abounds everywhere. "Our company controls 400 acres," said Mr. Russell at the Hammond Manu facturing company office last evening, before departing. "Of this, 300 acres is owned absolutely. We have M0 acres of rlvsr bar placer, through which the Rogue has worn a channel 75 feet deep, leaving an admirable dump. We have an ancient rlvsr channel depoalt there also, from which is obtained the typical channel gold. The Rogue bar gold is remarkably pure and occurs in coarse flakes which are easily saved. In the very lowest water season we will be able to keep four giants in , commission, which is a strong equipment for what is usually the closed period of the year." Mr. Russel Is manager for the Gold Bgr Mining company, a Minneapolis con cern. His is the flrst Important hy draulic equipment so far down the Rogue, but other work Is assured, for the district is promising for both placer and qaurti. and hand operations have been carried on there for many 'years. As the Oold Bar management estimates an outlay of about $25,000 for equip ment. It is apparent that the smalt operator would be unable to prepare for heavy hydraulic operations. RESULT OF HUNDRED BEACH SAND ASSAYS An Interesting fsct relative to the heach sands on portions pf the Oregon cOast. was developed by E. C. Morse. In charge of the Montana Metallurgical works' of this city, while looking over a list of about 100 analyses that have been made by the company. The samples lor these tests came from some of the beet known beach properties, snd as they were brought In by the owners to get fair results of contents, they may be ac cepted as typical of the beach general deposits. Valuea range from 30 cents to i a ton. The- percentage of. magnetic Iron varies from three to seven, although some of the owners state that their saii'd has 10 par cent of Iron. Values were secured as freely from the original sand delivered here as from a concentrate product. This demonstrates that the aand tested will not be Improved by concentration. Explanation of this fact Is difficult, t unless It Is conceded that the gold Is so fine- th.it It floats more resdlly than siliceous sand, or that it la contained In the particles of silica. The sand. -as a rule, will all pass a 30-mesh screen, (torn, of course, being finer, but further crushing tried ss sn experiment did not give better results. In concentra tion. The fact that water concentration la not practical, and that the percentage of Iron runs low. naturally suggests leach ing as the best saving device, unless 011 concentration is found adapted to the exceedingly fine gold particles.

(special Wepateh to The I. urnal Klamath Falls, Or.. Dec. 31. The bat tle between the government Irrigation committee and the Klamath Falls Canal company Is waging mors fiercely. The canal company is making a house to house canvass in behalf of their project, and the government Irrigation commit tee Is sending out circulars of warning to the people not to enter Into a contract wtlh the private company. J. Scott Taylor, secretory of the Irri gation committee, has Issued tha fol lowing Utter for publication: "In the Republican of December 22 appeared a lengthy article setting forth the terms upon which the land owners of Klamath and Poe valleys may require the proposed irrigation system of the Klamath Canal Company. The article accuses -the friends of government irri gation, who are working to secure it, of being actuated by persons 1 motives, even to as great an extent aa the pro moters of the Klamath Canal company's project. An attempt Is made to snow up the advantages to, the people of acquir ing this system rather than the. One pro posed by the government. "The principal points of the discussion are that the canal company Is making a better offer to the people than the government- that It can construct a system more cheaply snd In a shorter time thsn It Is possible for the' government to do. The land owners are urged, to accept the offer of the canal company because It has a definite proposition to make, the acceptance of which can possibly do no harm. It is urged that the people should stand by the canal company because It fas the first In the field. Finally it Is argued that the purchase of tha system would be an advantage to the land own ers, aa the property could at the proper time be turned over, to the government and become a part of Its system. "It Is not the Intention of any of the members of the committee which favors government Irrigation and is working to secure It to enter Into personalities or compare past records With any of . tha membersgaf . the canal company. Neither Is It necessary to defehd the motives which are actuating the committee and other citizens of the valley In working for government Irrigation, for It Is a public benefit and will bring the grest est good to the people of this county that could possibly be conceived of. Aside from this, the land owners snd those to be benefited by Irrigation have the right to judge of the work done by the commit tee whom they have chosen to represent them. "The statement thst the offer of the canal company Is better than the gov ernment can give will hardly be taken seriously by anyone. 'The canal company says It WlH con struct ths system and turn It over to the people for a fixed price of lit per acre, on a nn.nl of BO, 000. for the land Ir rigated. If this Is a business proposi tion, the price paid for the system must 1 Include a profit to the promoters of the enterprise, and Interest upon the -capital required to do the work. If It Is not a business proposition, the work cannot be enrrted on. for private capital Is not available for enterprises which do not offer a fair margin of profit: especially is- this- true In private Irrigation ven tures, the reason being that 'practically all of them have heen financial failures. "The government offers, through the reclamation service, to construct for. the people an .adequate system for Irrigation and drainage, to turn It! over to them at actual cost of construction, snd to allow them 10 years In which to pay for It. without lnereel. This system, when completed, will Include all the land In the Klamsth basin susceptible of irri gation: and the reclamation of large areas which at the present time are use less. The work done ny the govern ment will be of a most substantial char" actef. and not of a nature to require h perpetual high maintenance charge, as Is usually the case with aystenja built for revenue Snd profits to the promoters. "The question which confronts the people of this valley Is not one that should be answered, or In any way af fected, by sentiment. It matters not whether the aanvernment or the Klamath (Vina I company was flrat In the field; what the people want Is to get the best that can be had, end to make the most out of thalr lands. The government of fers a proposition, the terms of which cannot be carried out by any private in dividual or company without serious loss. It Is for us to sccept or reject this offer. "To accept any other proposition un der the delusion that water will be got ten to the Innda more cheaply and In a ahorter time than can be done by the government Is simply to delay the work before us. If he people were the own ers of the Klamath Canal company's works It would not be any use to them In securing government irrigation. And it may at thla time be stated upon rell nbie authority that no part of the Klam ath canal company's work could or would be used by the government ss a part df an Irrigation system. Tha en couraging of the Klamath Canal com pany to go ahead with its work, think ing thst tills course Is siding the cause of SoveYriment Irrigation, is. we know, an error of judgment and should be dis couraged."
