Salem. Or, Bept 6. Stating that Cali

prohibiting the appropriation of water
within its boundary lines for the Irriga
tion of land In another state, and that
be does not feel like allowing water to
be appropriated In this ttnte for the
Irrigation of land In California. State
JCnglneer Lewis has directed a letter to
"W. C. Dalton, who is promoting a proj
ect near the boundary line of Oregon
and California, asking if It Is not pos
sible to eliminate the California lands
from his project.
Reeling that water should not be ap
propriated In this utate to irrigate lands
in other states, unless they reciprocate,
the -state engineer prevailed upon the
last legislature to give him the riht m
decline all rerniits for the appropria
tion of Oregon water, if the lands to be
irrigated happened to be situated out
side the boundaries.
i MISS WINONA 0GDEN
. BECOMES MRS. B. RAMSEY
Forest Grove, Or.. Sept. 6. A pretty
v wedding occurred In this oitv Wednes-
day at the home of Mr. and Mrs H. G.
' Ogden, when their daughter, Miss Wi-
: riona Ogden, became the wife of Mr.
:, Bert Ramsey, the ceremony being perl
t. formed by Rev. E. V. Stivers of Mc-
t Minnvllle. Miss HazM Stockman was
I. bridesmaid, and Mr. Edward F. Smith
! attended the groom. Mrs. Rimipn t.
; one of the popular young ladles of this
' city, whera she has long made her home
I Mr, Ramsey Is a young business man of
i Portland, where he and Mrs. Ramsey
will make their future home.
The vein on these claims is a quartz
vein, rollowlng a basalt dike, which
traverses the Granite mountains, and
varies from 8 to 14 feet in width and
runs from 10 to $100 per ton In value.
The mine Is developed by several tun
nels at various levels, and by a shaft
unK e reet below the lower tunnel
about 1209 feet back from the tunnel
entaance.
The underground workings total near
ly four miles In length, and have de
veloped sufficient ore to keen the mill
In continuous operation for several
years to come. The character of the
ore Is quartz, carrying the gold and
silver In Intimate with iron sulphides
and containing little or no free gold.
In operating under the old conditions
It was necessary to concentrate the Iron
sulphides and transport them by freight
team some SO miles over the mountains
to Baker, from whence they were
shipped by rail to the smelters. The
heavy toll for transportation charges
proved a very great expense In opera
tion, and to eliminate this, a new mill
to extract the gold and silver and turn
them Into bullion at the property has
been erected.
The new mill has now been In opera
tion since the first of the year, and at
an average monthly production of be
tween J2B.000 and $30,000. The procebs
is a new adaptation of the cyanide proc
ess, called the "total sliming process,"
and is the same as has been installed
in the new big mills of Colorado and
isevaiia.
How Ore Za Crushed.
The ore Is first run through the big
20 stamps us it comes from the mines.
Th"e stamps have a capacity of about
iuo tons da'.ly, and the balance of the
mill is erected to care for the ore as It
comes from the stamps. The crushing
is done in a weak solution of cyanide
of sodium, and the ore Is reduced In the
battery of stamps to about the alze of
small bird shot. It is then conveyed to
two lube mills. These ara large steel
cylinders five feet in diameter and 22
r--et long, about half filled with the
hardert flirt pebbles Imported from
Denmark. Theso cylinders, rapidly re
vilving, grind the ore to an Impalpable
powder between the flint pebbles, which
roil around the Inside.
When the ore is reduced to powder It
is wasned with solution Into 20 feet
thickening tanks where the excess soiu
uon Is moved and the ore. now about
the consistency of cream. Is drawn off
into the pachuca agitating tanks. There
are three of these tanks, huee affairs
14 feet in diameter and 36 feet high, and
during its course through these tanks
the pulp Is kept quite thoroughly agi
tated by a Jet of compressed air ad
mitted tluougli the bottom of each
tank. This has the effect of thoroughly
dissolving the gold and silver by bring
ing the oxygen of the air into close
contai with every particle of ore while
in tip presence of cyanide.
After being agitated for a sufficient
time the pulp Is drawn off to the fil
ters, where the cyanide tarrying the
gold and silver solution Is completely
separated from the ore by the filters.
These filters are Ingenious devices in
the shape of large wide-faced wheels or
drums revolving in round bottom tanks.
so that a portion of the lower face of
the drum Is kept submerged In the
pulp at all times. By exhausting the
air from behind the canvas face of the
drum through the hub and spokes of
the wheels, a layer of ore is caused to
adhere to the canvas face and as the
drum slowly revolves Is brought up
Into the air, where the solution is al
most entirely sucked through the cake
of ore. Before being discharged from
the filter the cake Is twice washed with
water, which Is also sucked through the
cake and thus replaces the cyanide so
lution completely.
From the filters, the pulp, or tailings
as it Is now called. Is carried from tha
mill by a stream of water and caught
and retained In a tailing dam, to keep
It from- being washed Into the streams,
while the cyanide solution, with Its gold
and silver contents. Is pumped through
a machine which adds a small quantity
or powaerea aino to the solution. The
xlnc acts as the precipitating agent and
precipitates the gold and silver in the
form of a black slime. This slime Is
rntered out by pumpiflg the solution
through a series of canvas leaves, and
the cyanide solution, now robbed of Its
valuable contents, is returned to the
head of the mill to be used over again.
Its circuit Is continuous.
Gold Bars Cast Weekly.
About once a week the nreclnltatlnr
filters are opened; the black slime Is
scraped from the canvas, roasted, mixed
with the proper fluxes, melted Into hul
lion and cast Into bars, and these are
sent to the United States mint. This
company was probably the first on
record to utilize the parcel cost for the
purpose or shipping gold.
ine property has been under the
management of Robert M. Betts of
bpokane for the past four years.

Astoria, Or., Sept. 6. Restraining the
sanitary reclamation commission and
the city of Astoria from Issuing $300,000
bonds and levying a 5 mill tax on as
sessable property. Circuit Judge Kakln
yesterday granted a preliminary injunc
tion on complaint of U. C. Fiavel. This
bond issue Is for the purpose of con
structing bulkhead and retaining walls
along the waterfront of Astoria, and
for filling in the tldelands, necessitating
a change of grade and the raising of
practically all the modern business
buildings with the exception of the
Htniidinavlan-American bank.
The commission was created bv
amendment to the city charter, proposed
by initiative petition, which carried by
a vote of 1304 for arid 674 against at
on election held December 11, 1912.
The complaint alleges false and de
ceptive title on the ballot, deliberately
planned to deceive voters; Uhat the
measure was never legally Incorporated, I
never was a law or a part of the char- !
ter; that voters thought they were vot-!
Ing for a measure authorizing the com
mission to construct a bulkhead or sea
wall without regard to making fills In
any part of the city; and that inasmuch
as the title is false and fraudulent the
commission hHS no authority to con
struct bulkheads or upend public money
for any purpose whatsoever.
The territory within the city limits
Is estimated at six square miles, and
the tide flats at one square mile, ne
cessitating six miles of sea wall.

G. C. Fiavel Is a heavy property owner
In this city.
A complaint was also filed for the
purpose of prohibiting the reclamation
commission from spending money for
any purpose whatever. This Was evi
dently intended as a death blow to all
further procedure looking to the con
struction of the sea wall.
On December 12, 1912, the measure
was put before the voters by an Initia
tive petition. Commissioners elected
were A. M "Kinney, W. C. Logan, W. K.
Schimpff. W. P. O'Brien, Norrls Staples,
Martin Franclsovich, K. Ilauke, Andrew
Birch and Jens H. Hansen. One thou
sand three hundred and four votes were
cast In favor of the measure and 674
against, and the amendment was accord
ingly Incorporated as a part of the city
charter.
Frobably $6000 has already been ex
pended by the commission in the work
thus far, and warrants have been issued, J
Miss Emma Lenox.
'SnerUl to The Journal
Roseburg, Oc. Sept. 1. Most women
will Jump on a 'chair when they see a
mouse, but Miss Eva Lenox, daughter of
County Clerk E. H. Lenox, is different
from her sisters In this respect. A few
days ago she saw a rattlesnake four feet
long and ready to strike, and she thought
she would like to have a picture of It
She adjusted her kodak, walked up to
within six feet of the defiant reptile and
took its picture.
. This occurred during a recent visit
with friends near Dtllard. There is a
rattlesnake den In a rocky hill In that
vicinity, and from 30 to 40 of the rep-
tiles are killed in that neighborhood
every year. This season, so far the reo
ord Is 89. The rattler photographed by
Miss Lenox was a monster for this
country, and was of the yellow spotted
species, which, is considered even more
venomous than those with the dark-
brown or black spots.

1 land birds which may be killed law
fulls before October 1, the season for
the other upland birds opening on that
