In to cloee personal friends who say
that flattering Inducements have been
made to the senator to persuade him to
move from Astoria to Portland and en-

esslon. .. .. , j
Before his election to tne unueu
States senate Fulton had won recpgnl-
tlon as one of the able lawyers of the
state. 81nce his service In the senate
he haa taken rank there as one of the
ablest lawyers of that body.
"i have ron tn believe. ' said one
of the senator's close friends this morn
in la dlscoaelnr the future movements
of the senator, "that when Senator Ful
ton returns to Oregon he will make his
home In Portland and will begin at onea
to build up the law practice which he
haa neglected for the past six years, of
his service In the senate. I know tnet
some very flattering offers have been
made to the senator to induce him to
locate in Portland and I believe that ne
has decided to do so."
Continuing the discussion ,the friend
said that in hia belief the senator would
turn hia whole attention to building up
his taw practice and that while he
would take an active Interest In politics
he Would make his business first and
his political activities second.
"The talk about Senator Pulton al
ready beginning to build fences for elec
tion to the United States aenate In 11J
does not come from the senator," said
the friend. -While his friends would
like to see him go back to the senate
and would lend all their effort to ac
complish that result the senator haa not
discussed such a move. Of course If
conditions should be. such In HI J that
the people would desire him to become
a candidate, he In all probability would
do so, but he is going to make his bus
iness first an his politics second. He
will be an available candidate but in my
opinion not an active candidate for
election to the senate in 111."
Judging from the remarks made con
cerning the senator's possible location
In Portland overtures have been made
to him with a view of his becoming con
nected with one of the well-known legal

Goldfield Has Been Wild over Hornsilver. 1 i
Its newspapers are full of it from day to day, and
of that city's dailies, we clip the following:
from two
Goldfield Tribune, April 30:
The hanging wall in the Great
Western Gold Mining, .and Milling
company's mine at Hornsilver,; has.
not yet been reached in the crosscut
at the 200-foot level, but good quart
has been passed through, and at any
round of shots that perfect wall and
the ore shoot are liable to be enter
ed. If both are found, according to
the opinion of many competent min
ing men, the big silver mine of the
state is in evidence, even if the ore
body does not go a foot deeper.
Nearly every prominent mining man
In Goldfield and Tonopah has been
at Hornsilver in the past few weeks,,
and all of them have made a grab
for anything in the shape of a rea
sonable price ' for the transfer of
ground or an opportunity to get hold
of a lease, and from the present way
people are crowding into the camp ,
within 30 days the population will
have been doubled.
The old townsite, containing 60
acres, has been sold, and . additions
are being made on all Sides. Every
piece of ground in the neighborhood
of the Great Western strike has been
leased, and in a score of the shallow
shafts ore that pans and assays well
is either being sacked or piled on the
dump. Among those who have made
art inspection of the district is Henry
Weber. He returned from there last
night, and said: "It is a camp al
ready, and is liable to turn out to be
a big one." .
The eight-carload shipment from
the Great Western Gold Mining and
Milling company, at Hornsilver, was
Goldfield Chronicle, May 2.
settled for yesterday. It consisted
of 36yi tons, lacking a: few pounds,
and the sampler sheet shows that it
went 170.4 ounces in silver and .43 in
gold, which was an average ralue of
$102.10 a ton. Superintendent James
Russell was a little disappointed, as
he expected it would run higher. An
other carload arrived here yesterday
frorn the mine, and the daily produc
tion at the present time is about 20
tons.
Hornsilver Js advancing rapidly and
assuming the proportions of a town to
a marked degree. Some 12 or IS
buildings - of surfaced pine are in
course of rapid construction, while
tent-houses are being tuilt in all
directions. Iots that sold 10 days
ago at $75 are now bringing from $350
to $750, and trading is active. The
prediction is freely made that within
the next 30 days the town will have
grown to 2,000 population. The Un
ion bakery is installing a plant here
which is highly appreciated, as bread
is greatly in demand by prospectors
and citizens. People are coming in
by autos, stages; buggies, horseback
and on fpot, and every day adds nu
merous new faces to the citizenship.
Each, day reatly augments the mail,
and a postoffice will facilitate business
to a marked degree. The town will
very soon be provided with a justice
court and the "necessary officers.
Assays were received yesterday by
Scott and Zimmerman, operating near
Hornsilver, of $50.74 to the ton. They
plan extensive development work.
