GOOD COUGAR

Morning Kills Dig Cougar.
Tho renders of tho Nugget will
remember last May an nccount of
llm killing of a cougar by Mr. J. E.
Damowood, who lives up Sharps
Creek on tho ISohomia rond was pub
lishod.
At that timo his two boys, agod U
! nn 1 12 respectively, whilo on their
I way to school following u trail along
jthosido of n mountain, tho boys
woro tolling tho father of sooing a

was too oarly foa fawns wns wonder
ling what tlmy could liavo seen. The
boys wero walking ahead wlion sud
denly it coucnr sprang from tho
bush just aliend of Mr. Damowood,
aud with hair bristling, teeth snap

spring nt the boy just iu front. Tho
father was unarmed, but did not
hositato to jump to the side of tho
nuimal and with n tremendous kick
just bnck of tlio shoulder, snnt it
into tho bru -h.
Hurrying homo with the boys ho
socurod bis dog mid gun and fol

scent and iu a mile or so had tho
animal up a trco. A well directed
shot brought him to tho ground.
Ho measured bovoii fcotand weighed

him to town and gave him to H. 21.

Mr. Hawloy has lost 1C sheep
during tho wintor, nil of which ho

THE ER.ASING OF BOUND.
ARIES.
TIIERH is small chance of pro
vincialism among the mining
districts of the West. One
will eticouujer few sections of a
strictly mining character where the
citizens boast of their "oldest in
habitants," but where such places
arc found today it is usually whore
other industries and commercial
pursuits have been built up around
them indurtries and pursuits that
depend upon steady markets and
Incomes from year to year.

" LEADERS IN MERCHANDISING
the same may be said of the typical
mining man. You find him where
you find the gold. This fact im
presses itself upon one who goes in
to a new mining camp, where old
highways ot acquaintanceship meet
ngain, after having diverged for a
season. One ol the first-comers
at Crecdc may, perchance got Into
Cripple Creek on an early stage,
aud the first man he meets is an
old acquaintance from the Corn
stock lode. One goes to the Klon
diko in 1897 and the other to Thun
der Mountain In 1901. In 1904
they both meet again at Coldfleld.
The mining iudustry of the West
comprises one grand domain. There
is little to be said, after all, about
state boundaries aud county lines.
The mining man's local pride is ex
pressed in terms of ounces fine in
the colors that bis pan reveals. It
is usually the citizens of a state
who really have nothing to do with
mining, except iu the matter of
owning the stock tokens of the bus
iness, that love to tell about their
slate's resources as against those of
a rival state. There arc no state
jealousies in the active mining
rniu s makeup, when once lie starts
on the road. All mining states are
good states to live in, and the min
ing industry is the realm to which
he owe allegiance.
Sectionalism is not measured by
geographical lines, but by common
interests. A few years ago, when
the "silver" question was alive in
politics the West was accused of
sectionalism with some justice,
perhaps. The tendency now is for
the rectionalism of the mining in
dn.itry to widen its bounds and take
in a good part of the United States.
This is because of the special in
terest that the East is taking in the
resources of the West. The mining
industry is bringing the Hah and
the West together, instead of sep
arating them, as it did in 1S96. In
fact, the whole tendency toward an
investment basis of commercial aud
industrial dealiugs tends to unify
the nation according to a rule in
which politics has little concern.
Indeed; politics is itself building
upon industrial aud commercial
questions, and nationalization, Tor
this very reason, is the order ot the
day.
In the investment world the min
ing man has spread out his own
domain until it comprehends the
country from west to east. It Is
one of the signs of the times that
eastern capital is more than ever
reaching out to command the op
portunities that present themselves
in the undeveloped mineral re
sources of the Mountain region.
There arc no state and sectional
lilies when it conies to industry and
finance. Daily Mining Record.

T would tako timo aid monoy, to
say nothing of tho porils at
tending the cbango of climto,
to go to Alaska and tho Klondike to
witness a placer mine in actual op
oration, and it wonld nood a magi
eiau'a wand to bring such a placer
miuo from tho Frozen North and
stick it in tho ground within tho
city limits of Portland. Dut Bach
nn every day magician is Goorgo E.
Ames, who has jast obtained at
largo oxpenso a concession from the
Lowis and Clark Corporation grant
ing him tho right to erect and ex
hibit a largo-size placer mine at the
Exposition. Mr. Amos' homo is at
Dawson City, Yukon Territory, and
for tbo past six years ho has per
sonally operated somo ot tho larg
est mining properties in Alaska and
tbo Klondike.
Mr. Ames' exhibit will be in the
naturo of a cyclorama, illustrated
by means of paintings, actual min
ing machinery ami gold dust His
concussion measures 150 by 100
feet, and is 50 feet high, on one of
the best locations found on the Ex
position grounds. In buildings
and painting ho will spoud $12,000,
aud ho will exhibit gold dust val
ued at $10,000, and specimens and
uuggots valued at $5000. His ex
hibit will roproeant a monoy value
of about $30,000, and will bo one
of the great attractions of the Ex
position. Pumping machinery will
be installed to produce 2000 gallons
of water per minuto, for tbo creek
at,d sluicing plant, and along the
creek will bo a rocker which will
clean up $10,000 worth of gold dost
an hour. Water managed by the
pumping plant can also bo instant
ly turned on for fire protection. The
exhibit will be so arranged in cjclor
amic offocl that the visitor on first
going upstairs will find bimBelf in a
valley with real gold on all sides
apparently being washed out of
Portland gravel. A lecturer will
be engaged to give descriptions of
tbo principles of placer mining, and
an old miner a regular forty-niner
will operate the rocker on the
creek. Phamphlets will be ready
describing the difTorent American
and British-Canadian mining laws,
and also exploiting Alaska.
Contracts will bo let for the
buildings, which will be of timber,
Wednesday.
Tho first railroad locomotive aver
run in Oregon will form an inter
esting exhibit in the transportation
Building at the Lewis and Clarke
Exposition. The locomotive is the
proporty of David Howos of San
Francisco, who has bad it for thirty
years.
