' EXtr. Rollins & Son, of Boston, bid

W. Harris & Co., of Chicago, bid
$230,643 and accrued interest.
.The bid submitted by Cashman, Fish-
i er & Co., of Boston, being the highest,
V frill be awarded to that firm. This is
tne mgneet premium ever paia lor any
bity bonds offered for sale on the credit
of Portland $31,300 for $200,000 of
bonds. At that rate the city will pay
about .4 1-16 per cent interest premium
The net profit to the investor will b
4.10 per cent per annum for 30 years.
These bonds are to be - issued in do
nominations ot shhju, payable 30 years
from date, and bearing interest at the
rate of 5 per cent per" annum, payable
on the firet days of April and October of
of each year, principal interest payable
in United States gold coin at the office
of the treasurer of the city. These bonds
are to be paid for and delivered to the
purchaser at the city of Portland, the

These bonds are issued under author
ity of an act of the legislative assembly
of the state of Oregon, approved Feb
ruary 21, 1895, and will be issued and

terest from April 1, 1895,. The validity
of the bonds and the authority of the
committee to iesue and sell; them have
been fully' affirmed by the supreme
court of the state,' and no conditional
bids were received. The high premium
paid for these bonds shows that the
financial credit of Portland never stood
higher than at present.
Millions In Gold Mines.
Nw Yokk, June 24, "Millions "of
dollars have been invested in gold mints
in the past few months,'-' said John Mc
Donougb, president of the First Nation
al bank, of Creed e, Col. . "A carious
proof of the solidity and conversation of
the investors is the fact that they do not
allow these deals to be made public if
they can help it, the odium attached of
late years to the mining business being
, great as to almost affect a man's credit.
This spring several large gold properties
have been purchased by New York and
Boston capitalists, but these men adopt
a different method to that in vogue a few
years ago. The days of wildcatting in
this country are practically gone. In
vestors nowadays first make sure of the
presence of an ore body. . They pay for
ore in sight. That is the method which
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
has made David Moffatt, of Denver, and
other miners so wealthy. The capitalists
step in with the cash required to to bring
the ore to the surface. Deals have been
put through this ; spring in California,
Idaho, Colorado, Montana and Arizona,
tomejof tnem running over a . million
and a half dollars. In Europe, especial
ly in Paris, London ,and "'other money
centers, there seems to be' a . running
craze, bnt that is for south African
stocks, and we do not want any of that
excitement over here, as it discredits the
business aspect of the mining world."
- 'A Gratifying; Showing. .
r Chicago, June 24.-The. wages of not.
less' than 250,000 men in the United
State's have been advanced materially
within tht last 90 dvys. Careful Inqniry
throughout the country indicates an ad
vance averaging 11 per cent. The
Chicago - Tribune has compiled a ..list
which embraces more than 250 firms
which have witbin the last few weeks
advanced the wages of their employes.
A notable feature of this great industrial
improvement is that the wages of these
250,000 men have, with hardly an ex
ception, been advanced voluntarily by
the employers. . The season .has been
remarkably free from strikes. Employ
ers have shown a spirit of willingness
to share the results of the era of general
prosperity which seems to have pet in,
without and delaying the division of
profits until labor grew impatient.
In Honor of Carnot.
. Paris, Jane 24. In the presence of
enormous crouds the anniversary of the
death of President Carnott was observ
ed today at the Pantheon with touching
ceremonies. In the offical cortege were

uties, followed . by cabinet ministers,
