FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 17, 1897 OREGON'S MINES, Time immemorial men have gone wild in the pursuit of gold. When Solomon's ships came back from Opbir with their golden freight, . though sacred history does not chronicle the fact, there was undoubt edly a big rush across the Dyea pars ot those days for the new gold fields. Jason went in search of the golden fleece, not on account of ihe wool, but of its quality. Jupiter pene trated the cave wherein Danae, the 1eautifal, was imprisoned in the shape of a shower of gold-dust. In modern days California, Australia, South Africa have all set the world gold crazy, and the present rush to the Klondike probably exceeds them all, for the reason that the 3-ellow metal lays within the domain of the ice king. Human ingenuity and en durance are taxed to wrest from the grasp of the ice king the yellow treasure, and yet while the wild tales of wonderful treasures sets the blood tingling, the capitalists of Oregon, at! least, pass over and by mining possi bilities which,' properly developed, would start a bigger and wilder rush than the Yujion can boast of. In Baker and Grant couuties is fabulous wealth. Their mountains are teeming with the precious rretal, yet from Baker county have gone dozens, perhaps, to the unknown Yukon, to wrestle with the hardships of an Arctic winter. The Yukon is undoubtedly rich in gold, yet we ; yenture the assertion that inside of ten years Baker and Grant counties will produce more gold than Alaska; more gold than Colorado, California, Australia or Africa. They will pro duce more gold in a month than Rossland will show in ten years, and yet Oregon capital, and particularly Portland capital, is blind to its op portunities and soes wooing the frost' goddess of fortune who dwells within the Arctic circle. "With a half dozen little mills the counties named are now producing $2,000, O00 a year, and j-et the mines are not even prospected. The North Pole mine recently de veloped a pay stieak eight inches wide that is worth $12,000 a ton. Telluride, worth $50,000 a ton, has been found in another mine; and yet while column after column of the Portland papers are filled with Klon dike stories, a half-inch telegram suffices for the tale of Oregon'6 wealth. Colorado and eastern capi talists are buying up the mines, and the wealth of Oregon's mines goes out of the state. Tis true, tis pity. Pity 'tis, 'tis true. The Prhieville Rcviev is inclined to say that tbe visit of Major Covilie, a commissioner from the interior de partment, inspecting the forest reset vation, will be beneficial. Hereto fore the examination has been made in Portland or at some foreign port. A personal examination is just what the stockmen wanted. They feel that an unbiased examination by an unbiased man will substantiate the position taken by' them that moder ate grazing does not injure the tim ber growth. This could never be drilled into the cranium of any one seated in some palatial office hun- i d reds of miles from the scene of the pretended examination. Some of our Democratic exchanges are finding fault with the improved .business conditions by saying that McKiDley and Republican victory fit the polls last year had Jnothing to do "with it. That may be true but the fact that business is improved exists just the same. It is quite proper that the people of .America should render unto McKinley the things that are McKinley 's, and unto God the things that are God's. The trouble with our Democratic contem poraries is that they 1 deny one with out giving credit to the other. An eastern man has discovered a new means of killing rats. He cuts cork in small pieces and min gles it with a food of peculiar at- trseUea tQ lbs rats, but which, at the same time Causes a raging thirst. The rats eats the cork, drink water, and burst from the swelling of the corks. Reports from Argentina are to the effect that the wheat prospect is good, and that 1,500,000 tons will be available for shipment. As the har vest does not begin until January, tbe guessing is somewhat premature. Similar reports come from Australia. LOCAL DISEASE and is the result of colds and sudden climatic changes.
