NEW FURNANCB IS TO BE AT THE FAIR Manager lkunls Will Bxlilblt Ills Mer cury Snultcr for Public Inspection. Orccon l)lly Jonrnnl. .MAr.ifii W. 11. Dennis of iyi the IMackbutte quicksilver mine. Lane county, owning the largest mercury property in the tinrflitvnCt nil il nerharus the largest ever opened iu this country, has completed his new furnance. T ests have been given the plant, and it is stated by those wtio were lavu.tu with the privilege of witnessing the first work, that the furnace is suc cessful!. Details have not been furnished the public yet, but will soon be, as Manager Dennis has con cluded to put a working inouei u . nvhiliitinn at the Lewis and Clark fair. Whilo this exhibit will not be large, it will have sufficient size to illustrate the principle employed by Mauager Dennis iu his now smeltimr process, and will have the nMMitional value to the laity of giv intr an insicht into the metallurgy of quicksilver,, of which little known in the northwest. The lllack Butte has been equip ped for several years with Scott continuous furnance. the type used in California. When the Black Butte owner begau experimenting ,i,li n rlinniTH from this, it was with the purpose of attaining great er mechanical efficiency, while not departing radically from the old i,ri,i-in1p of volatiiiziui: values aud precipitating them in a settling chamber. Tue lilacic uuue nas uu immpnse roserve of low-grade ciua bar. alongside of the higher grade of material, and it was for the pur nnsi. of nerfectinc some plant that would handle the eutiro mass at profit that the experiments were rmiutirnred. Mr Dennis set to work to evolve a furnace that would enable him to smelt an average ore carrying three-tenths of one per cent mercury. When he has achieved this, the engineering fra ternity of the entire country will be eager to know now tne uregon man has ottaiued such results, aud hence his exhibit at the fair will have as creat interest as any work done there for the mining industry.

Trout Kggs Hatching. The rainbow trout eggs imported by Tom Awbrey from Verdi, Ne vada, arriving hae on tue 17m, have been dying at a rapid rate since their arrival. But few died on' the way, but the loss has been about 300 per day for the past few days. Old uatcliery men who inspected the hatchery and mode of handling were at a loss to account for the loss of eggs. as everything seemed in perfect order, tlfe most modern apparatus being used. After a few days the problem was solved by the suddeu appear ance of hundreds of what appeared to bo minature pink tadpoles, but in reality were young trout which since have been hatching out at a lively rate. The trout eggs which aie very delicate, and which should, not be handled for two or three weeks previous to their hatching, much less being shipped for several hundred miles, were by some mis understanding shipped too far along toward their maturity, hence the heavy loss. While the loss will be consider able, a good portiou have hatched out aud are doing well, and stand a fair show of becoming one of our chief attractions to fishermen iu the years to come. over S3.nnn IK1""1'' w,"c" nl,s cents pa hundred equals $266.67.

Dennis, Blackbutte, Lane Co., Oregon, The re-organization ol the catia commission is at last an accomplish ed fact and it is -believed that the new men will be stronger and more effective as they are nearly all younger than thoe whom thoy have succeeded. The best avail able engineering talent in the country have been brought to the work. Whether it will be a lock canal or a sea level catial has tiot been definitely decided, but since the price will run into hundreds ol m.llions the country is entitled to the best canal that can be built for money. Of the seven commissioner in chief four are experts in construe tlve work, Wallace, Haines, Undi cott and Earnest. Burr and Par sons as members of the Advisory 1 board indicate President Uoosevelt's desire to havn the most available men iu the profession. Here are six engineers ol great reputation as constructors and administrators of great enterprises. They have done much in the past in similiar work aud will bring to this enter prise theoretical learning ripened by experience In choosing as a head of the commission a private citizen the president lias gone to railroad and selected a man who has demonstrated executive ability and wlioso capacity as a sup.-rvisor is well known tn an analagous held.
