GREAT NORTHERN ANO
TREASURE MINES SOLD
Th, Great Northern and the Treas-
..... mining properties, two of the
richest in the Blue River district,
have changed hands and they will at
once be placed on an operating ba-
,g From now on the district prom­
ises to present its old-time activity,
as the new owners of the properties
will employ a large force of men in
• he operation of the plants.
This
means a great deal to the district,
which contains some of the richest
properties on the coast, but through
mismanagement and consequent liti­
gation most of them have been idle
for several months past.
Tiie Treasure Mine.
Woodcock & Potter, attorneys for
the Treasure Gold Mine Company,
l imited, of London, which owned the
Tr asuie mine, which was managed
for a long time by Charles Harding
Park, recently closed the sale of the
property, which is located on Gold
Hill, to 8. E- Wightman, of South
Dakota, and W. T. Shurtleff, of Sac­
ramento, Cal. The Treasure mine is
one of the richest and best improved
mining properties in Western Ore­
gon, the sum of »175,000 having
been put into a finely equipped 100- ,
ton stamp mill, in the opening up of I
large bodies of rich free-milling ore
and the building of tunnels
Mr Shurtleff, who will personally
superintend the work at the mine, is

particularly adapted to working and

character to that of the Blue River
district.

The new owners of the mine have
already started up the mill and wt.l
operate it day and night.
The mineralized deposits on the
Treasure claim are said to'-be pne-
nomenal.
There are well-defined
fissures of andesite and diorite, fa-
vorable for peramnency in depth and
filled with porphyrite and black mag­
nesium materials in which the val-

tracting the gold from the ores is es­
pecially adapted to this formation.
Xeu <'<>tii|Miny for Great Northern.
It will be remembered that the
Great Northern property was sold at
sheriff’s sale on execution last March
to J. S Mahon, of this city. The
owner of the property, the Great
Northern Development
Company,
failed to redeem it, the »¡me for re­
demption having expired.and tJie sale
was confirmed.
The Great Northern Mining Com-
party, an entirely new concern, which
was recently incorporated and men­
tion of which was made by the Guard
at the time the articles of incorpo­
ration were filed, has secured Mr.
Mahon's title to the property and is
now owner. The company is capital­
ized at »100,000, and the principal
office and place of business is Eu­
gene
The officers aro as follows-
H. C. Mahon, president; G. G. Gross,
vice president; 8. E. Wightman, sec­
retary; C. F. Littlefield, treasurer.
W. T. Shurtleff, one of the new own­
ers of the Treasure property, will su­
perintend the mine, as well as fill­
ing the same pasition at the Treas­
ure.
Will Resume at Once.
The new company has already ta­
ken charge of the plant at the mine
and will resume operations at once.
The property will be placed on a
paying basis and a large number of
EUGENE’S LEADING STORE
men will be employed tne year round.
A good many improvements are con­
templated for the property in the
immediate future. Additional power
in the way of installing a new 50-
homepowe’r steam boiler and en­
gine will be added and a chemical la­
boratory will be built.
The plant already consists of a
four stamp mill, a five-foot rotary
Huntington mill, both combined call­
able’of handling fifty tons of ore a
day; an aerial tramway 1250 feet
long for the purpose of conveying ore
from the mine to the mill, ample wa­
ter power, a steam power plant and
2000 lineal feet of tunnels.
The
property consists of 140 acres of
land.

Boise, May 15.—The examination
of talesmen in the selection of a jury
to try Haywood for the alleged mur­
der of ex-Governor Steunenberg today
developed the existence of a prejudice
against Harry Orchard and the tes­
timony he is < xpected to give against
the prisoner.j. Under the examina­
tion of the d< fense Samuel Wingate,
a member of the original panel and
talesman, passed by the state, frankly
said he was prejudiced against the
unoffered testimony of Harry Or­
chard.
Mr Richardson sought to retain
the talesman in the box but Senator
Borah, for the sta‘e, drew from Win­
gate the positive statement that he
would absolutely refuse to accept Or­
chard’s story. Judge Wood sustained
the state’s challenge and the defense
took an exception
Half an hour later A.P. Burns,
temporarily passed by both sides as
the eleventh talesman, said he, too,
would be unable to give the testi­
mony of Orchard the same credence
he would give to the testimony of
other witnesses
The indication of this feeling led
the state to cover this point in the
examination of all the talesmen call-
ed after Wingate.

New York, May 15.—A portion of
the recommendations of Attorneys
Kellogg and Severance to the Inter-
state commerce commission concern­
ing the Harriman railroad investi­
i gation have been published here. It
reviews the testimony and hold., that
competition has been suppress'd in
an area equal to one-third of the
United States;
that contracts be­
tween the Union Pacific and Rock
Island for control of the Alton rail­
way, as well as contracts between the
Union and Southern Pacific for the
control of the Illinois Central and
San Pedro road, are all In violation
of the Sherman anti-trust act.
It therefore recommends that the
attorney-general Institute proceed­
ings to annul these agreements, and
also recommenJs that there should
be new and effective laws to prevent
the inflation of securities, declaring
that the profits of the great railroads
of the Far West are being used to
liny stocks and control systems In tho
East Instead of building more roads
for tho development of the West, as
they should be.

mendations of Attorneys Kellogg and
Severance in regard to the Harriman
railroads stand merely as a recom­
mendation to the commission »nd not
as the report of the commission it­
self.
