The Lead Trust Bugaboo. A
AN EXPLODED ABSURDITY.
Portland People arc Waking up.
The new Drilling journal just
started at Portland u I bo gets onto
the Oregonians lead trust Bugaboo.
Here is what it says;
“ During the lust week The Pacific
Miner has interviewed numerous
gentlemen engaged in mining, and
interested in that industry, relative
to the statement in the Oregonian of
May 27 th to the effect that a brother
of Senator Clark, of Montana, had
been in Portland looking over smelt
er conditions here, and had stated
that the enterprise would not pay
here, because the American Smelting
and Refining Company controlled
the market for lead, and would not
purchase that commodity for smelt
ers outsido of its combine.
In the first place, it is not true
that Senator Clark’s brother was
here for any such purpose. Mr
Clark has purchased a home in
Portland and, has been arranging
for changes and improvements in
the residence and other buildings.
He has had no smelter project in
view, other than, The Pacific Miner
is informed the discouragement of
such undertaking because the family

owns large blocks of stocks in tho
smelter trust.
All those interviewed expressed
amazement that a journal, usually
so well informed, should givo public
utterance to such an absurdity as
that contained in the Oregonian of
last Monday.
“ There is not a sinctilla of fact in
the statement that our lend could
not be sold at the regular market
value,” Mr Chase of tho Montana
Metallurgical Works, rcmnrked. “ It

should be made. Tho incentive is
beyond my ken.”
Without au exception the mining
men of tne city, spoken to on the
subject, expressed themselves in
like terms, and mining journals
reaching The Pacific Miner’s ex
change table contain articles of
similar report.”

FINE DECORATION GAME
A H ot O ne . — On Deooration Day,
an immense crowd witnessed an
amusing game of base ball between
the business men of this city and
the professional men. The game was
an interesting one from the fact that
regular ball players were not allow
ed in the game. Andy Nelson the
popular druggist twirled the sphere
for the business men and Prof Briggs
did the curving act for the profes
sionals. But five innings were play
ed and judging from the unspriglitly
movements of the players, for the
next few days after the game, that
was enough for all parties. The
business men were up against it
this time however and were never in
the game although they created en
ough amusement to make up for
deficient playing. Wm Johnson of
the firm of Baker & Johnson was
the star for the business men, easily
making two hits (hit th« ground)
while several others only scored one,
theywere hard ones however, ff they
were not so gracefully done. Prof
Briggs surprised himself and every
one else by making a genuine double
play. It was not on tho program
but it counted just the same. D
Bristow and R W Newland also
eoverod themselves with glory and
perspiration in vain attempts to stop
the ball at critical moments, while
Jas Ostrander and Dr Petrie played
well. Jim missed the ball by a close

Tho past week has been cool, un
usually cloudy, and wuh deficient
rainfall, except that well distributed
showers oceured in the northeast
portion of the State on Saturday.
Light frosts occurred Thursday
morning in many sections of the
State, but no damage resulted from
them. The soil is sufficiently moist
in all sections of tho State, except in
Jackson county, whore more rain is
needod.
There has been a marked improve

grain during tho week. Tho hes

fall wheat on low land have turned
yellow, but tho hulk of the crop is

Strawberries are abundant, and
