I) c Dalles VOL. XIII THE DALLES, OREGON, SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 1901. NO. 09 Wnnt Civil ItulP. Il.u'oi.oit, Island of Negros, March 22. According to expressions of a large majority of the delegates from Occidental Negros, and of a few who were present from the Oriental side, the sentiment ol the people is overwhelmingly in favor of ttirreediiig the present governments by provincial governments in both divisions. The reasons given for this view are that such a change will effect a reduction of taxes and the high salaries of officials, the establishment of schools and the im provement of roads. The speakers al leged that owing to a lack of means of education, liberty was becoming license. The military commander is credited with having organized the only schools. They tire taught hy soldiers. Commis sioner Taft assured the dslegutes tint Negros would lie supplied with American teachers, and lie outlined the need of organizing provinces uniformly with other lsluride. The announcement of yesterday's sur renders in the island of I'anay was greeted with applause. OtlHttll AlTh WtTtMl.

Signature of ALLEGED RICH GOLD STRIKE Quartz Found Near Scarboro Head Said to Be Worth 51500 a Ton. Astokia, March 22. A fabulous gold discovery is reported to have been made on the government reservation at Scar boro Head, near Fort Columbia. Speci mens of the quartz found there have been sent to the Seattle assay office and are said to have run as high as $1500 to the ton. As the ledge is on government property, it cannot, of course, be worked, but it is believed that it extends north oi the military reserve and that owners of property in that vicinity will find valuable quartz if the prospect for it. The specimens thus far taken out were found by employers of the government and are very rich. A genuine gold excitement has broken out near the little town of Elsie, in the southern part of Clatsop county. Quartz found there has been assayed and shows 80 to the ton. The specimens as sayed are from surface croppings and owners of claims think the quartz will become very valuable when they go further down. Councilman W. J. Cook, who has just returned from the vicinity of Elsie, told the following story of the discovery : "Gold was first discovered there some time ago, but the matter was kept very quiet by Alex and Fred Norman, on whose timber claims the find was made. The land is situated in township 4 north, range 8 west, and the district is known aB Cruiser's Gulch. While in the south ern part ot the country I visited the place. The quartz-bearing district in cludes a large mountain, winch is en circled by the gulch'from which the dis trict lias derived its name. The mount tain covers between GOO and 800 acres. The quartz was found on the surface, and as yet no effort has been made to follow the ledge. In view of the value ot the surface quartz the owners of the claims are satisfied that the property will prove very valuable, and there is great excitement in the district. 'Placer mining has also been attempt ed by J. C. Dunkin, who did some work on the creek bottom near the mountain. The first pan washed by him showed 20 colors, and while at work he found two large nuggets. He states that he has found indications of extensive gold de posits and believes that the district will prove a small Klondike." The settlers are so well satisfied they have a good thing that they have laid their proposition before Portland capital ists, wiio have promised to furnish tiie necessary capital to develop the property. There is an abundance of water in the vicinity and operations will not be ex pensive. Thus far five mining claims have been filed out. How to Curo Rroui. Mr. R. Gray, who lives near Amenia, Duchess county, N. Y., says : "Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is the best medi cine I have ever used. It is a fine children's remedy for croup and never fails to cure."

He offered self government on the lines of Jamaica, im mediately upon the cessation of hostili ties, with legislative bodies partly elected by the burghers, "The government agreed to provide 1,000,000 to compensate the Boers for property destroyed. "No Burgher of either state was to be allowed a rifle except by special license. "General Botha was generally iu favor of these conditions but he dissented strongly from the proposal to give full privilege of citizenship to properly domiciled and registered blacks. He was also greatly concerned about the position the Jewish capitalists would occupy in the country, and was told that Jews and Christians would enjoy equal rights, no distinction being made iu the matter of otifeesions."
