Prospectors, when out of reach of
assayers to test their ore, says the
Pacific Miner, can by the following
method deteimine whether rock to
be tested carries minerals or not.
When you desire to makethe test,
pulverize the rock very fine; then
take one part of the pujp and tw
parts of common guupowder; mix
them together with enough water
to make a stiff dough; work it up
and together with your hands;
then form it into a cone or pyra
mid and let dry in the sun or near
the tire. When dry set the cone on
a flat stone and a live coal on top
of the con. When it has sizzled
and pputtered itself out, the min
eral, if there was any in the rock,
will be found in the shape of a but
ton on the stone. -

William D. Casteel, a Benton

ied in crystal lake cemetery yes
terday. His death occurred
while be was at work as a bridge
foreman on the O. R. & N. rail
road near the Blue Mountain
Canon in Eastern Oregon. He
was on top of a high trestle
which spans Dry Creek, and
while moving a stick of timber
it fell from the trestle and car
ried him with it. The fall was
52. feet and the young man was
instantly killed, having sustain
ed a fracture of the skull near
the base. Two fellow employes
were at work on the trestle near
him, but were unable to render
assistance. A coroners jury re
turned a verdict of accidental
death.

and married, Arthur Casteel,

Times.
What is it? A f u neral? Dead !
killed! Fell some fifty feet from
a bridge and killed! Her son,
you say, her. pride and her stay,
her baby boy grown to manhood,
and she, poor mother, is crushed
beneath the blow. With head
bowed to earth, with eyes fasten
ed upon the sod," she grieves and
buries all of him with all
that was all of him, save memory
sweet. Go to her ye who knew
her well, tell her to look up.
How can she see the .stars that
shine when her gaze is glued
upon the earth. How can she
seethe radiant beams of light
and hope and love that fold her
in loving cmorace, when she is
blinded in prison walls. Go to
her, this mother, ye wh have
wept and sorrowed ! Go to her,
ye who have found the light!
Open the door to her sepulchre,
show her that he, the boy she
loved is with her still, is still the
same shield, the comfort, the
joy, if she will but lean upon
his arm. There is no barrier be
tween the souls that love. Time,
distance, death, are but of person
ality, and all shall shift, shall
come and go but Soul is stead
fast in its immortality. How
can you find this so? Look
within. As it takes a God to
find a God, so it takes the con
sciousness of Soul to realize
its own immortality, to real
ize the steadfast principle that
lives within, to know that what
is truly really ours by soul right
and inheritance shall abide for
ever. But Soul cannot be found
by dwelling on the surface, you
must penetrate within to Cause.
You must penetrate the walls of
flesh axd know that flesh is but
the death, the change, simply in
the expression of the wonderful
Power we . call Life. Look up!
Wd cannot see the flower when
we are gazing at the root Look
up! There is no hope within
the sod but does spring upward,
and the God witmn us finds the
way. This is the open door for
you who sorrow. Look up and
look within; The outside keep-
eth not the treasure, and he
that loveth you, calls for his
own? Will you look up, and let
him in? T. S. P. F.
i The Corvallis School Board
has made a sale of an $8000 bond
issue to local capitalists on a
basis of 4 per cent interest. The
money is to be applied in the
purchase of ground and erection
of a new school building. The
bonds were taken by six local
investors, whose names have not
been made public.
The award of the bonds to lo
cal investors is in violation of a
provision of the school law, which
provides that the bonds shall be
first offered the State School
Board at 5 per cent interest rate.
The local board wrote the State
Board, offering the bonds at 4
per cent interest rate, but receiv
ed no reply. Thereupon it sold
the bonds to local people, prefer
ring to' take chances on being
compelled to pay the penalty for
vialation ot the law, rathe 1 than
let the bonds go at 5 per cent.
The fine prescribed- for viola
ting the particular provision of
the school law that is involved is
$10 to $ioo. During the termj
the bonds are to run, at 4 per
cent, instead of a ; per cent, in
terest rate will save the district
about $1300.
Since the offering of the bonds
to the state land board is manda
tory, there is a possibility that
the bond issue will4be illegal.
