Washington Letter.
Washington, Mar. 10th, 1902.
As I have previously stated in these
letters the United States is coming to
be regarded more and more, by foreign
nations, as a power in the diplomatic
for Id. The diplomatic receptions of the
secretary ef state, which occur every
Thursday, are more generally attended
than ever before and a few hours spent
in the ante room of the secretary's re
ception room in the state departmen',,
will furnish an opportunity of seeing
practically all of the ambassadors and
miniature accredited W Washington.
Where, a few years ago the diplomatic
days of the Becretary were hardly
observed and only small number of
the secretaries and attaches called,
and perhaps an occasional minister who
had some especial object iu view, today
none of the ambassadors considers that
he is properly fulfilling bis mission to
the United States if he does not attend
at least two days ia the month and pay
bis respects lo the secretary ol state.
Another notable instance of import
ance which this country has attaiutd in
fcuropean eyua ia the elevation of the
minister from Austria Hungary to the
rank of an ambassador. This will of
course, be followed by the elevation of
the United States uiiiiiuter to that
country, Mr. Robert S. McCorinack, to
a like rank. The diplomatic and con
sular bill, which has just passed and
which carries total appropriations of
approximately ;000,CK), will make this
change possibkt. There is at least one
person in Was-hintmi who Joes not
welcome the iucieasvd in p irtance from
the Kuropean stanlp iint of the United
Stalls and that is Miss Alice ltonacvcl ,

Henry, with a view to ceuienlluu the
friendly relations between tlie United
States and (Jermatiy, it would be mo-l
improper to do any thing which in any
way might undo, by oirending the
supersensitive pride of his Teutonic
Majesty, whatover good may have been
accomplished.
Miss Kooscvclt left last night for a
visit to Cuba where she will be tlie
guest of (.leiioral and Mrs. Leonard
Wood, the trip being something of a
consolation favor in view of the dis

One of the events nf the past week in
the senate tvas th. passage of legislative
and executive appropriation. bill which
curries a total appropriation of about
(J5,00O,OO0. Tlieru has been little
attention paid to this bill by lie news
papers for the reason that it contains
provisions for many sinecures for the
proteges o( both political parties and
party organs are uuuble to criticise its
provisions without running amuck
among the lasts of politicians. A mere
line stating that the bill has paased is
all that will be found in the majority of
the uewspaers.
There is a growing conviction that
Secretary Long will leave the cabinet
about J.iy lirst. It is also said that his
stuceHBor will be Representative Moody
of Massachusetts. Of course llio latter
rumor ia a mailer of puie piulatiou,

THE GOLDEN DRIFT
The Old Dry Diggings Property to Be Equipped With a
'Gigantic Pumping Plant Which Will Supply
Water the Year Round.
At the Dry Diggings, three miles fiom
town, the giants are pounding away at
the banks of auriferous dirt, with all the
vigor and flltctiveness that 400 feet of
pressure makes possible. The water
supply at the preseut time is insiitlicient
for steady piping, but by means of reser
voirs, the (low is econom;i;d so that
it is possible to pipe for the greater por
tion of the time, and with a full head. An
electric signal is so arranged as to indi
cate when the reservoir is full, so that
no time need be lost in traveling back
and forth from the reservoir to the dig
gings, a convenience of importance. The
present work is being done on tlie llloody
Run slope of the hill ou the eastern pa.it
of the mining ground. The ground here
is about 20 feet deep. There is very lit
tle smooth gravel, the ground consisting
of slide rock and dirt. Very few heavy
rocks are found to contend with and the
ground is, on the whole very easily han
dled. It is quite compact, so that cut
ting would be slow but for the heavy
pressure to which the banks yield readi
ly. Two giants are used; the larger lor

cutting the ground and the smaller for
sweeping (he bedrock. The hydraulic
operations are under the supervision of
II. A. Corlis, tho former owner and suc
cessful operator ot the mine. The bed
rock is a granite, rough, but not so hard
but that its surface may be cut aw ay with
the pants, so that almost cveiy particle
of the gold it swept into the race and
sluices.
The position and slope of llio ground
make the conditions in that regard ideal
for rapid and successful working. The
slope is not steep, yet it is much greater
than (he necessary grade for the sluices.
The operator might work a mile square
of territory without moving liis Hume,
for the grade of the bedrock is steep
enough so that everything runs easily
and naturally to the boies A few shal
low races to direct the (low are all that is
needed, Drfep bedrock cuts are unneces
sary operations here and the question of
dump, so grave with many mines, is one
that never troubles the owners, o( the
Dry Diggings.
The Dry Diggings have been known
and worked since the early days of placer
mining in this country and by many and
various systems, from the pan and rocker
to the more modurn hydraulic, Always
the only drawback has been the scarcity
of water, the only supply available lo
publicans claim that the advantage to
bo derived will more than oirct any
increase in the government outluy. The
democrats on the other hiuid, pronounce
the measure an extravagant and un
necessary form of legislation, 1'ioui a
non-partisan stand point the bill seems
to be clearly in line with the republican
toncy of the past and simply an exten
sion of the protective principle to the
owners of veseals. It will he discussed
until the 17th ol the month and ill be
made the occasion of lunch lurid oratory
on both aides of the senate. Senator
llunna has already broken his lung peri
od ol silence to give his views on the
sul.j 'd ami he presented a moid strikin
appearance as nil did so, Mr. Il.iiina
finds speech-malting a si upend mh and
heating undertaking and nl lie hud
concluded Ins speech, l.e fr-marl. -d,
mopping his brow, an be took hii si in ,
"There! 1 think that ellorl alone earned
me my salary lor this se-sion."
The house is still dvbatiiig the ques
tion as to whether the rural mill routi f
ball Imi carried by salaried employee,,
or by those persons who submit the
lowest bids lor the work to be done and
the matter will come to a vole today.
There have been presented able argo
nauts in both sides of the question but
I believe that a majority in the senate
favor the salary system. At least, all
the western senators to whom I have
talked nn the auhj'-ct have so eiprrssed
themselves.
Cuban reciprocity rontinues to bu a
source of trouble to the republicans.
The apprehension that any practical
reduction of the sugar and tobacco
schedules in Cuba's Isvor will be made
the occasion of amendments by the
seriate which wiil precipitate a virtual
tantr revision all along the lini leads
many ol the republican members, who
do not consider the time ripe for such
a revision, to Vigorously oppose the
measure reported by the oaya arid
means committee, The caucus ol
Thursday evening was the thud that
baa been held on the subject and the
members seem to be no nearer an agree-,
merit than they were at first, while the
president has made it clear that be will
not concede anything from bis original

Davis, Yellow Newton and Winesaps

The Northern routes art the best for
shipping green fruits. Apple shipments
for all the Northern porta ol China
should be made by October 1, on account
of freezing if they arrive late. If apples

they will koep well on account of the

Carrlt Nation.
In justice to Carrie Nation, for whom
the daily press baa bad more ridicule
ihan fairness, it should be generally
niadu known that all the cases against
her have been dismissed by the Supreme
Court. The president of the Kansas
V. C. T. ('., In making her report at
the annual convention, said:
"Now there la one thing that I want
to speak of, and that ia In regard to Mrs.
Natinu. -1 want to correct the mistake
that I think is prevalent all over the
United Status that Mrs. Nation did nol
do anything for Kansas, because it
would be fal-c if I were to say so. The
laws in Kansas have been terribly
violated, particularly In large cities, and
the officers were not eulorcing the law,
so that In many cases the joinla were
coming in, Mrs. Nation struck the
blow that aroused the people of Kansas,
sud the women of Kansas went to work
all over the state, and tha W. 0. T. U.
took advantage of the rise in public
sentiment In favor of temperance, and
held mass meetings every where, and
our organization gained largely in mem
bership. The result o( the Nation cru
sade, as it Is known-4ii Kansas, nave us
what Is known as the Ilurrel Kill, which
pla -es the sale of intoxicants by drug
gists under both state and national
supervision. Within two (lays I have
received a message that a district Judge
in the eastern part ol Kansas has made
a ruling that the express agent that
delivers any Intoxicating goods to any
person lias broken the prohibitory law
jo-t as much as though he sold it."

Medford Coe.1.
If a newspaper re poller gets much
news of the Southern Pacific coal mine,1
east of Medford, be must of necessity
ae provided with a handspike, four
inch hawser, and a donkey engine; but
for this closeness in business matters, no
persou has a license to censure the com
pany. If they wore to advertise their
business broadcast ovor the country,
many of their well laid plans, like well
laid eggs, would become addled, and all
would come to naught. However, It is
Uarusd that ilia tunnel is now in 200
feet and that a fairly good quality of
coal is being found. Just hour far this
experimental tunnel will be driven Is
nut publicly written but in all proba
bility it will not step short ol BOO feet.
The coal Is said to be, juJgiug from that
found on the dump, a good locomotive
burning article and the width of Uie
vein is guessed to be about five feet,
although this Is nol all high grade goods.
The new drilling plant has been set up
and tho drill started. Mail.
