The mining outlook for the
state of Oregon is generally con
ceded to be excellent, says the
Western MiDirig World. The past
year a great number of mining ex
perts have looked over the various
mining' districts and invariably
these men report that they have
been agreeably surprised at the
magnificent showing the developed
mines are making.
It is said that the voting ma
chines in New York state at the
recent election proved a success.
With it in operation the entire
vote of the city of Rochester, of
several hundred thousand people,
was counted and turned in at police
headquartees exactly 37 minutes
after the polls were closed. Their
work insures them coming into
more more general use throughout
the country.
The loss of tbe Baldwin hotel
and theater in San Francisco,
which has always been prominent
in the minds of all Oregonians who
have visited the city, will be sadly
missed by them. It was a beauti
ful structure and elegantly and
cozily fitted. It has always been
considered a dangerous firetrap,
and many of the residents of the
city avoided it. Without doubt it
will be reconstructed, and money
will not be reserved in making it
secure against such a misfortune
in the future.
Admiral Dewey has notified
the navy department that be has
contracted with a Hong Kong firm
to raise three of the Spanish gun
boats, sunk in Manila bay; that
the work has already been parti
ally accomplished, and that $500,
000 will cover the entire cost of
raising and putting them in com
plete repair. These boats are of a
oIhbs that will be especially useful
to the United States in Philippine
waters. They are named respect
ively, Isla do Cuba, Iain de Luzon
and Don Juan de Austria. The
first two are twin ships.

Salem Statesmen Nov. 26.
Henry E. Doeoh, Oregon's commis
sioner at tba Trans-Mississippi exposition
at Omaha, Nebraska, bas returned to
Oregon and waa found yesterday at tbe
office of Hon. John Minto, secretary of
tbe state board of horticulture, with whom
be is associated in tbe task ot oompiliog
the board's legislature. Mr. Dosch re
turns to Portlsnd today.
This zealooa stats officer is exoecdiog
ly sangaioe ot tbe real good done the
state by reason of ber Omshaexbibit and
aod says his special report thereon will
contain muob to interest Oregonians in
general and tbe legislature in particular.
Mr. Dosob attributes tbe vory broad
advertising ot Oregon and her products
at tbe late exposition, to the ooospto
uousness of tbe great battleship bearing
the state's name, tbe intense popular in
terest in ber journey around the '"Horn"
and tbe subsequent glorious achieve Dents
all of which oocured daring tbe height
of the Omaha fair, a circumstance be
made the most of by baviug printed
tbonsands of "souvenir oards" on wbiob
the splendid fighting maohiue was en
graved, with suitable suggestive text, aud
distributing them thorough tbe build
ings and concessions This put "Oregon'
in everybody's eye and the name whs on
everybody's tongue, and io oonsequenoe
of this " boom" the webfoot exhibit
swarmed day end night with interested
seekers after information. This was
supplemented by tbe literature at band,
a resource not nearly ample for tbe en
ormous demand; but in spite ot all
drawbacks, Oregon was a name Io con
jure by, and tbe good effects appeared
very soon.
It is tbe purpose of Mr. Dosob to bring
the hundred and more medals won by
Oregon and her citizens, here, for exhib
ition at tbe oapitol during the session
of the legislature in January, along
with the diplomas won there: a plan
likely to give pleasure to all who may
inspeot tbe creditable display, And
regarding of medals Mr. Roach said yes
terday, that Oregon won every . gold
medal offered at the exposition for
educational exhibits.
