Some clianuea were made at (lis last
legislature in the law applying to court
Ices (or juHors and witneues. The com
pen.ation fur jurors remains the lime
at before, 2 per day, but the milt-age
fees bave been reduced from ID lo five
cents .per mile. Witness fee in s!ate
caw bare bwn reduced to $10 per day.
.The most sensational report which
conies from South A'rica lately is list
General French and 500 Uritish troops
bave been captured by Beers. The ri
part lacks oflicial conformation an I mty
be merely a rumor. It is about as re
liable a report, however, as those which
represent 1M Wet as inrane and Botha
as ni-KotiatinK for surrender.
Carrie Nation was fined (500 in Kansas
City, Mo. on Monday on a chare of
obstructing the streeta The fine was
not enforced but merely held over her
head to keep her out of town. The judge
who sentenced her remarked that the
climate of Missouri was unenited fo
"long haired men, ahort haired women
and whistling girls," Mrs. Nation on
departing, delivered herself of the remark
that the town was "full of hell broth."
Carrie is never at a loss fur an Impressive
remark.
The letter which we publish in thia
issue regarding chemical engines la from
very competent authority and well
worthy of perusal by those who expect
to vote in the election next Monday,
.loan important matter like thia no
mistake must be made and no penny
wise policy should be pursued. A chemi
cal engine is, at first thought, cheaper
than hydrants, but when the increase J
Insurance, about 25 per cent, is coo
Mured, the difference it not o appar
ent. A chemical engine is a desirable
thing to have if wa could afford both It
and sullicient water, but if we cannot
bave both we must choose the one that
is most necessary and relia'tlo. The
point aimed at is good Ore protection at
as economics 1 a rate aa possible.
Seattle, of all places, is experiencing a
moral reform wave and the gambling
element is having a hard time to pre
serve the conditions which have made
Nealtle famous In this resect. The
reform element is led by the I'ost-In
telltgencer, the leading paper of Bealtle,
while the mayor and police force are
arrayed in favor of the "wide-open
element. It is an up hill fight for the
reform people, but they are making a
determined atruggle and the Keattle
sporting element baa not that feeling of
security that has been their lot In
former years. Heal lie ha been widely
known aa a gamblers' paradise for a
long time, but the wave of progress
.could not overlook - so Important a city
and wide open" towns sre now out of
dale.
Rich Strike at Mountain Lion
Aetrikeof extraordinary importance
was made last week at the Mountain
Llnnnuarli mine In the Miatuuri Flat
district on the Applegato. In (he lower
tunnel, which liaa been In course of con
struction for some time a body of ore has
been discovered, of w hich the moat ordl
nary rock carries values ol several hun
dred dollars to the ton and in some t peci
mem (lis rate runs Into the thoinands.
This tunnel taps the vein at depth of
about 21HJ feet and was being extended
to catch a rich pay chute that was
formerly worked nearer the surfaco.
The owners did not expect rich ore iu-
side of 100 feet farther, but the recently
discovered pay chute la an alloguthei
different one from that which appeared
at the surface and an Is in the nature of
a pleasant surprise. The vein Is about
two feet In wldib and almost every piece
of rock ahowa free gold visible to the
eye, while some specimens are literally
full ol the precious particles. The rock
is alro rich in sulphurets. llavii'g
loiuid an ore body of such lit hues.
where it waa not expected, the owners
are naturally curioua to know what thev
will mm when they reach the point
where lliey have reason to believe the
rich ore chutes of the surface willlve
lapped. There ! good reason for believ
lug that the present ore body will be
surpassed when that point is reached
and the dip and trend of the veins sug
gest the idea that a laige jrs body of
greater richness exists at a greate
depth. (Inly a short pay chute of the
quality recently discovered is necessary
to insure a fortune and ibis ore body,
In connection with the reasonable in
erencts drawn from indications and
former workings, gives the mine an
outlook of brilliancy seldom surpassed.
The mine Is the prniicrty of 1,. I,.
Jewell,!'. E. Harmon and lleorge and
John lUiley. It ia equipped wiih a
atsmp mill which will begin operations
aa there ia a sullicient iiiiatility ol ore on
the dump.
The ore of the Mountain I. ion is
almost ideuticat in appaaice with ihal
of Ihe Exchequer, lio conda and oilier
mines in the same locality.

ABOUT CHEMICAL ENGINES. !
Letter to the Council from A.
Long, Dealer In Fire
Apps.rs.tus.
I'okTLAKi), Ore., April 11, 1901.
How. Mavok and Colxcii.,
(iranla Tart, O-e.,
Gkntlkmkn:
I bave noticed from our Press Bureau
of late, reference to possible purchase of
chemical engine, and that a Vv J is to be
taken April 22nd, on the question of
dispensing with hydrants, and substitu
ting chemical engine, or having a por
tion of the present number of hydrants
and a chemical engine.
A chemical engine is inuispeiuiblu to
good Sre aervice, but it is, in no sense, a
substitute for water in fighting fire
The smaller fires, and particularly those
inside of buildings, can be and are ti
tinguished by ihe use of a chemical en
gine alone, doing away with the use of
water, thus saving or avoiding water
damage.
The larger fires, however, cannot be
extinguished with any chemical engine.
The proper equipment ol Are department
is to have both, chemical engine, hose,
hose carts, etc., for handling water, in
case water is required. Now, with Ibis
frank statement, I want to say a word
lo you aliout chemical engines. There
ia one standard chemical engine, recog
nized everywhere by fire departments,
and city olllcials, as the only absolutely
reliable machine of its kind. This is
called the,"Chanipion" chemical engine.
Of late years, several so called chemi
cal engines haye been put on the mar
ket, among Ihein, air pressure machines
which are worse than useless, for the
simple reason that they are deiendud
upon until the moment they are needed
at a Ore, and then from various causes,
absolutely (ail, causing much additional
Are loss, by reason of the time wasted

manufacturers, and b personally
knew nothing of the machine they
were off-rin, to claim that one gallon
of thia fluid was equal to 1200 gal Ion a of
water, in die extinguishing capacity.
The ridiculousness of this proposi'ii.0
will be apparent to you, if you will just
consider; we will say, their cylinder
holds 80 gallons, which would mean
that the contents is equal to ffGGOO gal
lons of water in fire extinguishing
power. This quantity of water ia more
than the largest ales in fire er.gine in
the I'ortlar.d Fire Department, ihe
capacity of which is 7(0 gallons per
minute, would pump on a fire in two
hours of ateady pumping, -it its high's1
rale of speed. If such a statement acre
true, this wonderful fluid would soon
supplant everv steam fire engine in the
country, and do away with the immense
amount ol expense in purchasing them,
maintaining them," and also Ihe.pur
chase of Lose, hydrants and all other
necessary attachments for use with
. earner.. 1 on win readily perceive
that if their were any truth in Ihefe
statements, these engines would bring
fabulous prices, and an immense factory
would be unable to turn (hem out fast
enough to met t ihe demand.
Ihe potency of the "Champion"
chemical engine fluid, in fire extinguish
ing is forty to one, quite a difference
from 120.1 tol, that is to say, lhat one
gallon of the "Champion" chemical
fluid is equal to 40 gallons of water, in
fire extinguishing power. This is well
known by lII firemen, and it is simply
carbonic acid gas, the most powerful lire
extinguishing agent that exists.
