THURSDAY, DKCKMHKR, 19, 1001
David P. Thompson, a prominent
citizen of Oregon, died at bit home in
Portland on December 14
Tbe two men Dalton and Wade, who
killed young Morrow in Portland, bave
been convicted of murder in tbe first
degree. Each swears that tbe other
did the shooting, It'll li are equa'ly
guilty of the crime and the Jury's verdict
is just. i
The Schley court of inquiry finds the
admiral at fault on 11 counts, but Ad
miral Dewey, the bead of tbe court, sub
mits a minority report sustaining him.
Public opinion holds Dewey'i Judgment
in far higher esteem than that of the
other members of the court. Dswej
bad experienced like conditions himself,
while the others were largoly theorists,
though said to be men of high character
Bchley Is given tbe woistof it in ever;
possible construction of the several
cases. Public opinion will bold the
verdict of the court in contempt and
Schley will continue fo be a Iihio. The
deeds Schley has done can not be ob
scured by technical criticisms of the
manner in which be accomplished them
Just now there seems to be quits I
number of bypnotiite giving exhibitions
In tbe west. It is an open question at
to whether or not such exhibitions
should be allowed. There ere many
who are skeptical on Ibis subj-et,
claiming that it is all fraud and fake,
but few who see these, exhibitions and
observe the performances of the subjects
can doubt the genuineness of the
hypnotic influence. Assumed that the
tests are genuine, the matter assumss s
yet more torlout aspect. It seems a
very dangerous thing that ons person
should exercise so complete a control
over the minds of others. All hyp
notists assert that do person can be
hypnotised against hit will, yet any
casual observer who watches the hyp
notist! night after night can see that the
subject yields each time with ever In
creasing readiness and the possibilities
in this line seem jliinltlesi. Then tbe
effect on tbe .mind of the victim It
something that require! investigation.
It may be safely asserted that tlese
publlo hypnotic exhibitions should not
be permitted.
Tbs following opinion of President
Roosevelt Is given by a Washington
correspondent : "The citizens of Wash
ington take congress yery much st a
matter of course. With the old hab
itues, congress is no 'great attraction.
Distinguished public men create no
sensation Tbore are too many of them.
But never in the memory of, anyone
living has there been such an interest
ing personage In tbe White House as
President Theodore Roosevelt, and
more it hoped from him by optimists
who believe ill popular government than
from any previous president. Tbore are
thousands who would be willing to give
him autocratic power, and if tbe
country backs him to tbe end as popular
sentiment is backing him now, be will
have the equivalent of autocratic power
and be able to lest those reforms in the
civil, naval and military establishments
(or which hit name It a synonym. Dls
tingulsbed as a publicist, at a soldier,
and as a statesman, he l even more dis
tinguished as a refurmer and as a terror
to political corriiptionistsand that horde
of conscienceless politicians who have so
long regarded public ofllcus as a private
perquisite. If ho succeeds In downing
this horde, hn will make firmer and
fairer the foundations of the republic,
and the superstructure fur a thousand
years will bear the marks of bis master
hand."

F. V. Metis was in town this w.ek
from Sliver creek where he is directing
operations at the tuiim-1 w hich it to open
the Silver creek basin. Work on the
tunnel has been suspended for a tilioit
time, while the force has been prospect
ing the dip ol the solid rock rim through
hich the tunnel runs. The operators
expected to get through this rim with
the tunnel in a less distance than i' has
been already driven, but investigation
has shown that the rim elopes less deep

the tunnel will be ri Binned as soon at

Tin In Josephine.
Tin is a metal extremely rare in this
country and ill the world. The world't
supply of tin has been mainly kept up
by the great tin mines in Cornwall, Fug
Tin is aiming the very useful metals,
principally on account of its uou-cor-rosive
quality. It has hnui f.iunl in
this county, though not in quantity as
yet. In tho Silver creek placers, the
minors frequently llml pieces of native
tin, some of it nearly pure. Some of
the metal will halter ill hammering and
some of it a ill break. In the first in in
ing on this creek, the metal was sup
poed to lie. silver, hence the name of
the creek. Practically no effort has
been unide as yet to Hud the kuurce
of the metal. Tin bus alto been found
in Shau creek, a siniiil tributary ol
Houe river coming in fioin the south
near Pickett cieek. Then also some
mnples o! ore brought in by prospec
tors and supposed hy them to bo cinna
bar has been pronoun-ol tin ore by
those who have b id experience W illi
th a meial. A simple test for tin is to
b.t the iiielnl wi'li the teeth. Tin, un
d rili tri.it in- nl, gi.es for'h a p
culiar tqueak lh.ll no other metal will
g've. I'.y this iih iiiis it is easy to dis
tinguish li-tweeii tin and platinum in
iho small panicles of either metal, whi. h
may he found in the pincers.
