RICH STRIKE OF GOLD.
Sumpter Mine Yields a Streak of Ora Which
Assays $50,000 to the Ton.
Baker City, Or., May 19.—A message
from Sumpter says that the strike in
tlie Golconda mine, which was reported
Thursday, proves to he much greater
than at first suppo.-ed. The winze sunk
from the 200 foot level has opened up
the ore shoot which was first discovered
in 1899, and afterwards lost liecause
the former owners persisted in looking
for it to tiie south of the main shaft,
assuming that it dipped in that direc
tion. There is a rich pay streak in the
vein matter that averages 18 to 18
inches wide, and the assays made today
from samples of ore from this portion
of the vein run $50,000 to the Urn. It
is free milling ore, and an rich that
some of the specimens run over 60 per
cent pure gold. Asido front treing very
valuah'e the specimens are exceedingly
beautiful.
On one side of this rich pay streak
there is three feet of sulphurate that
assays $700 to $1,000 to the ton, and
on the other side there is a w ide strip
of good milling ore. A careful exam
ination of the ground and the vein es
tablishes the fact that it is a perman
ent vein, and not a pocket that has
been opened.
The Golconda was sold by the Eng
lishes, father and son, of Danville, III.,
to a syndicate composed principally of
Pendleton people and J. H. Robbins, of
Sumpter, for $300,000 cash.
HOLD MANCHURIA.
Concessions to England Furnish an Excuse
for Russian Occupation
Pekin, May 19.—A second railroad
argeement, which Sir Earnest Satow,
the British minister to China, ami
Yuan Shi Kai, director general of the
Pekin-Shan Hai Railway, signed the
same day the agreement restoring the
Pekin-Shan Ilai Kwan line was made
and which the parties there attempted
to keep secret, has become known
among the •'iplomatu and is arousing
opposition from the powers interested
in railroad projects
Friendly observ
ers regard Great Britain’s railroad
agreements as a serious diplomatic
blunder. Before they were signed it is
said, there was no apparent obstacle
that Russia could urge for failing to
fulfill the Manchurian convention.
Now the Russian diplomats frankly say
these railroad agreements furnish ob
stacles inch as were contemplated by
the stipulation in the .Manchurian con
vention that Russia would evacuate if
no other powers interposed obstacles,
-or Great Britan to abandon its second
agreement means loss of prestige: to
insist upon it means grave complica
tions in the Manchurian question.
PORT CHALMETTE CASE.
Louisiana State Authorities May Take Action
In the Metter.
Washington, May 17.—As tho presi
dent, after considering the re|>ort of
Colonel Crowder, has decided that lie
cannot interfere with animal shipments
ut Port Chalmette, La., and as the ex
ecutive is tho only branch of the gov
ernment clothed by the Constitution to
pass upon the application of the laws
of neutrality, as expressly affirmed by
the Louisiana courts recently, it is be
lieve«! here that the Louisiana stale au
thorities will seek to make an issue
with the federal courts by undertaking
to do what the president himself has
not seen fit to do.
It is presumed that in due course the
executive’s decision will be communi
cated to the governor of Louisiana, who
first brought the Port Chalmette opera
tions to the attention of the national
government.
Diclsion In Iowa Liquor Case.
Des Moines, la., May 17.—The state
supreme court has ruled that the sale
of liquor to “ boot-leggers” and other
resident violators of the Iowa law, can
not Ire prohibited when the sales are
ma<!e by agents of non.resident dealers.
The court holds that the section of the
Iowa liquor law, known as the “ mulct
law,” prohibiting such sales, is in con-
tll t with inierstae commerce laws and
is, therefore, unconstitutional.
