Clean Dp of Bumpier Mines for October
Tbonsauils Id Yellow Gold.
Spokesman-Review.
Stjmpter, Or., Nov. 9 Thirty-two
thousand dollars in gold, representing
the monthly output of one mine and a
30-honrs' mill ran of another, arrived in
this oamp 'Monday. One hundred
pounds, or approximately 820.0C3, 0f the
yellow stuff came from the Bed Boy
mine, 18 miles west of 8umpter, and rep
resents the regular monthly cleanup.
The Qolcoada, owned by John T. and
J. O. English, and situated seven miles
from Sumpter, on Tuesday sent in $12,000
in free gold. This sum was obtained in
exactly 30 hours' rnn of the new No. 4
Bryan mill, just installed. A Spokes-tuan-Review
correspondent was privi
leged to witoess a 15 minute 'an of the
mill, Bt the end of which time the Dlates
were so oovered with gold as to necessi
tate a short shutdown. The ore is over
half gold. Eighty-five per oent is saved
on the plates. The amount of the value
in the. ooDcentrates aooompaoying the
shipment of free' gold could not be
learned. The recent strike in the Qol
oonda on the 200 foot level of 12 feet of
pay ore so rich in free gold and telluride s
as to be almost fabulous in value, has
led to even greater things as depth is
attained. The ore noon re in a slate, and
not far from a granite ooutaot. The
bromide chloride plant, a new departure
in ore treatment in this part of the
ooaotry, and of wbiob great things were
expect id, established at tremendous
expense at the Qolconda last year, has
proven practically worthless in treating
ore of such high value as is no w being
mined. The Goloonda has a double
compartment shaft, fitted with a steam
hoist. The present depth is 330 feet, at
which tie present rioh ore is being
mined.
The reported strike of a big otaiite of
free milling ore on the Ibex, will prob
ably hasten the consummation of the
purchase of this property by a London
syndioale for $300,033, from Arthur Hill,
a Michigan men, ite chief owner, who
acquired the property last fall for $65,000.
The deal, it it goes through, will pre
sent an interesting matbematioal illus
tration of the rapidity with which for
tunes are made in a mining camp. Mr.
Bill's profit injthia transection, acquired
ifter holding toe property one year, will
bs $235,000, or nearly 820-000 a month,
the day. And this is only an isolated
nstance.
The proponed purchasers, however, are
perators in Sonth Africa, and beoao.se
f the sorimmase on the Vaal have be-
aome Bonicky and recently cabled from
London to representatives in Sumpter to
suspend negotiations for the Ibex. All
bopes,' though, are not given up that
hoy will eventnally assume the property.
The Ibex group oonsists of three
ilaims, seven miles from Sumpter. It is
pened by 1000 feet of tunnels, shafts
ind croeso its. Twenty-five men are era
ployed in development. The ledge is 30
feet in thickness. The pay chute aver
ages six feet and rnns from $15 to 820
per too. The lowest depth yet attained,
ind at which the reoeot rich strike is
reported, is 3G0 feet.
The great Booaozt mine, owned by
the Standard Oil syndicate, and situated
16 miles southwest of Sumpter, is only
running at half oapacity. Last Wedoes
day tbe night shift of 40 men demanded
a reduotion of hours from 10 to nine.
Complaint was bIbo made against tbe
rtleepiux aooommodatious. Manager
day es ignored the demands, and tbe
night shift walked out. On Tuesday tbe
Urikere were joined by the day shift,
partly out of sympathy, but principally
lecanse of tbe sleeping accommodations,
Che mine was oompeliej to closedown
pending no adjustment of differences,
vbiob tbe striken maintain will cot
ioonr until the oompaay aooades to all
lemaods.
Tbd Bonanza mine, for which the
Standard Oil syndicate paid 8750,000 in
o 1897, employs 100 men. Forty stamps
ire operated and a compressor for the
10-drill plant used in tbe mine. It is
ond of the ' greatest properties In tbe
northwest, producing a monthly average
f 830,000 lu gold.
A Spokesman-Review correspondent
oterviewed a number of tbe strikers in
Sumpter. Amang them are many old
Montana, Colorado and Nevada men,
who unite in tbe statement that the oid-
time Montana pullpeus and Colorado
ram pastures were palatial apartments
in comparison with tbe Bonanza propo
sition. No provision whatever is made
for tbe miners to bunk. They were
oompelled to unroll their blankets under
trers, in tbe blacksmith shop and wher
ever they ooulil. Lat week a Dumber
climbed to tbe loft over the store build
ing, bat were ordered a a ay by the
manager.
Their places have been filled by men
from tbe John Day country. Owing to
the greenness of the new bands, only 2')
of the 40 stamps are in operation.
Manager Hayes was in Sump'er yes
terday. Be declined to disonis tbe
rn'itter, but stated that tbe mill and mine
would be running full blast by Monday.

Real estate in Snmpter is changing
binds at a remarkable ra'e and at as
tounding figures. The Snmpter Town
sits Syndioate last week sold tesidenot
and business property aggregating 850,
000. The Cobban Casey-Day Company
of Butte, Montana, snapped op 17 blocks
close inside for 816,000. Cblooel . S.
Tupping, of Trail, and M P. Shea, or
Rossland, came in for four blooks. W.
L. L monster & Co., of Spokane, have
arranged for the purchase of 10 blooks
to be selected later, tbe price ranging
from $1C30 to 81800 per blook.
A Walla Walla syndioate, headed by
Joseph MoCabe, of the Washington &
Columbia River railway, closed a deal
for three blocks at a oasb consideration
of 85000, A Spokane association of cap
italists has contracted for 10 blooks, on
which $16 000 will change hands.
H. M. Grant seoured an option on resi
dence property valued at 810,000 and
will form a syndioate to take up the
bargain. All the sawmills are oongeeted
with orders. It is impossible to eeoure
snfiioient lumber even for a cowshed.

JAPAN POSHED HAttD BY RUSSIA.
Warships or These Nations May flash at Any
Time, It Is Predicted.
By the Associated Press,
Vancouver, B. 0., Nov. 15 It U evi
dent from tbe tone of Japan and Chios
newspapers thBt the relations between
Russia aad Juptn are far from amicable,
offloial statements to the oootrary not
withstanding. As an indication is tbe
positive statement emiuatin? from
Shanghai that the Russian government
has protested to the Chinese government
against Chinese students being sent to
Japan; also agaiust the engagement oi
Mr. Yaono as adviser to the Chinese
government, and Bgainst Japanese
officers being engaged to train the
Chinese army.
The latest development just prior to
the sailing of tbe Empress is the report
that a Russian warship arrived at Maz
ampo to enforce Russian demands.
A conservative statement is that of tbe
China GaZ)tte, as follows: "Tbe Nippon
observes Russia's proceedings in Korea
with considerable uneasiness. Conces
sions seoured iu oonaeoiion with whale
fisheries, acquisition of lease of Uleung
island, purchase of land at Fusan, and
an apparently determined attempt to
prooure property at Mazimpo all these
incidents constitute, iu our oontempo
rary's opinion, valid eviduoe that tbe
great northern power is pushing for
another port iu southern seas."
The difficulty arising out of tba Maz
ampo affair is evidently far from adjust
ment. As maztmpi lies la a command
ing position between Fusiu aud the
SuBhiina, aud as it is of immense import
ance from a strategical point of view,
Russia is auxious to gain possession of
it to usa as a nav.il bine connecting
Vladivostok and Port Ac t bur. Prior to
this Muzampo affair, however, it was
4aid that difficulties which might cause
war between Russia and Japan existed,
and mauy southerners living iu Port
Arthur aud Ouee Foo hastily removed to
Shanghai for Safety,
The story is now told of almost a
breach on a occasion when two Japanese
cruisers in the Gait of Pd-Chi Li unex
pectedly appeared before Part Arthur.
The Russian signal officers at tbe oater
station signaled that the port was olosed
to foreign ships of war. Disregarding or
misundeist inding Ibis signal, however,
fe two Japanese cruisers steamed
straight into harbor. They were inter
cepted; "lib we very by "a" 'Russian ' fiteam
laauoii, having on board an official who
warned tbe Japanese oaplain that the
forts would fire on the cruiser if the
latter were not withdrawn. This advice
was taken, it is said, by the Jupinese
oomrnan Jer, but with very bad grace,

Yokohama, Njv. 3, via Victoria, B, 0.,
N)v, 15 Tba last regimiut of returniug
volunteers, Tenoesseaus, passed through
bare this week and the mist extrsordio
aryreord mtde by any army is now
complete and u ibrokea. Twelve thous
and troops have oooupied tbe city for an
average of two days and nights without
the slightest disturbance of any kind.
Tbe general impression that a close
understanding exists between O iina aad
Japan has its latest oonflrmitioo in the
faot that Kang Yu Wal, leader of the
0 liueee reform party, who at tbe tirai of
the coup d'eat fld from the wrath of
the empress dowager, is now, on his re
turn from America, refused an asylum
here. Arriving on O-itobor 23, hs wn
not permitted to land. When the
steamer reuohed Kobe, however, it ap
pearing that ha w is oblidgsd to stay on
board be would have to proceed to
Shanghai, where complications were to
bafeared.be was allowed auder polios
escort to go by rail to a port on the in
land sea where hi could take passage
direct to Hong Kong. Today his arrival
at the InUer plaoa is reported. Opposi
tion papers make much of tbe inoident
to the discredit of the Japanese govern
meat.
Comment on the Mazampo affair con
tinues to be iiioessant, Report has it
that Russia has seoured there a tract of
170 acres, although not the ooveted
locution which tbe Japanese were so
fortunate as to pre einpt. The latter
are also credited wiih an arrangement
in conjunction with tbe Korean govern
ment to build a dry dock there.
While in general relations there is no
evidence of an increase of anti-foreign
feeling herd in Japan, still there is
notioeable a growing j aloasy toward
foreigners on commercial lines and I
ooiisequeot reluctance to abolish restrlo
tions for fear of being swamped by
foreign enterprise. Not only i strong
opposition made to the admission of
aliens to full membership in the native
chambers of oomroeroe, but in a reoeot
meeting of the united chambers, where
it was supposed that a strong recom
mendation would be mmle in favor of
allowing foreign ownership of land, so
much prejudice was developed tbat the
matter was praolioally shelved.

AURIVAL OF THE LEONIDS.
Heavenly Visitors Whose Presence
Was
Observed in New York,
New York Nov. 14 With a brilliant
swish that lighted up tbe heavens for
quite 15 seoonds, tbe first of the Leonids
anuounoed its arrival just before mid
night last night.
Following the first were others of
equal intensity, enough to make the dis
play Batisfaotorly to those who waited
up to see it. Howevr, the meteoric
shower will not appear at its greatest
brillanoy uotill Wednesday morning
after midnight.
During the next 48 boars this earth
vill have such a meteoric pelting as it
has not enjoyed sinos 1866, when the
heavy belt of Leonids was last pene
trated. Those seen last night and Ibta
morning gave evidence of what may be
expeoted. The first appeared in the
northeast, bursting into tbe atmosphere
at a point about 45 degrees above tbe
horizon. Their journey was a long one
and it left behind a fiery trail of green
ish tint that was visible for many seo
onds. After the appearanoe of the constella
tion Leo above the horizon, the fall of
meteors was fairly steady, tbongb it
could hardly be oalled a shower. All
over tbe city watohers were stationed
and from many street oorners tbe itiner
ant astronomers did a thriving business
with their portable telescopes. Some of
tbe earlier meteors were of tbe magni
tude of a planet of the first class, but
as Leo mounted higher in the heavens
tbe period of brilliancy. Fortunately
the atmosphere view of the heavens.
Equally satisfactory conditions should
prevail tonight.
While observations of tbe meteorio
sbower are being made from every uni
versity in tbe country, Harvard seems to
be taking the lead in gathering data,
(from the Harvard observatory requests
were issued for reports of all regalar
observations of Leonids. Those reports
will be oompared and much valuable
data is expeoted to result.
HE MUNGS IN HOME SEEKEltS.
D. W. Harrison, of the Kock Island Hoad,
Stops In Pendleton.
D. W. Harrison, tourist oonduolor for
tbe Cbioago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail
way oompsny, is in town today. Hs
arrived this mormug on the overland
with one of tbe oars used in the Rock
eland homeeeekers' excursions wbiob
have been run during the present year
from vatioiiB points of tbe East to tbe
north ooast.
Mr. Harrison stated that his road's
excursions have bronght many people to
the ooast during 1809, and tbat they
were being run yet. Tba volume of
traflo, however, has fallen off consider
ably, with the advent of oooler weather,
and naturally will not b so heavy dur-
ng tbe winter. Travel inti California,
he bbib, Is now very heavy, so heavy
that it has been neoessary to ran trains
of the Union Pacific in two sections, and
tbat as a result of tbe great rash, tbe
exoursion was this week one day - late.
Tbe car should have oome through
Monday evening, whereas it arrived to
day, tweuty-four boars late.
Home seekers have oome from ad
parts of the East, aud have been destined
to many places in Oregon, Washington
and Northern California, few have
come with the intention of looatiog in
Portland or other large coast cities, but
nearly all have been beaded for tbe
smaller towns or tbs oountry, with a
view to baying Inud9,
It has been oharaoteristio of tbe Rook
Island excursions this year that only
people with money enough to bay
homes have been brought. Indeed, this
bai been tbe point aimed at to bring in
a class of borne seekers who would, by
bringing money in reasonable smoant,
contribute to tbs strength of the com
munities in which they settled, rather
than add to tbs burden.
An exceedingly thrifty aud well-to-do
lot of immigrants have oome during 1H09,
people who oould pay their way easily
and, after seleoting places for homes,
invest mousy in tbe purchase of lands
or town homes.
Mr. Harrison snooeeded Mr, MacLeod,
formerly la charge of the Rook Island
excursions through Peudleton.
Tbe Rook Island excursions, via tbe
Hceulo route, leave Boston on every
Wednesday; Chicago, St. Paul and
Minneapolis every Thursday, west
bound ; and eaHtbound, leave Portland
and Los Angles every Tuesday; San
