General Warren and W. C. Calder left for Portland Monday afternoon, on . business connected with the Sumpter Townsite company. The former will stop off at Walla Walla for a few days before proceeding to Portland. They will be ab sent a week or more. Just before taking the train General v Warren made emphatic denial that he is interested in the remotest degree In the Mineral City townsite proposition, over in Idaho. This statement was published in the Portland Telegram, from its Baker City correspondent, and is reproduced in another column of Till: MlNKR today. The General says lie has his hands full here, also a "full hand" and is not look ing for other propositions. it is learned from other and reliable sourccs.that. Mineral City is being pro inoted by gentlemen who own the North port smelter, wesiey warren, son in the General, is ore buyer for tint Institu tion, and more than likely is also in a measure interested l:i this deal. This would account for the mistake of getting his name mixed up with his father's. Only 1248 Voter Registered. The registration of voters Is very slow. The total number registered throughout the county yesterday was 1,248, about one-half of the number of the votes polled in the county -at the -June election two years ago. Of the total number regis tered, 618 are in Baker City. The books close on May is. All voters should keep this in mind. If a failure to register oc curs it is' a bar to voting in June or No vember. Baker City Democrat. Cape. Tkoaapoa Dredfioff to Soak River. E( S. McComa returned yesterday irfornlnf from 'Ssnake river, where he and UCapUU -Thman-wtnt- to-took af ttr their dredging interests. He left Captain Thompson at the Kankakee dredger, where he will remain for a few days to superintend the placing in position of the dredger's stacker. The Golden Giant dredger was put in operation last Monday by Captain Crossman witli a full crew for day work, and he has a crew under training, and in the near future will be operating night and day. Captain Cross man says that the Golden Giant handled 3,600 cubic yards in 36 hours, and that he could not obtain a color by pan ning the dump. All the parties interested in '(his enterprise are much encouraged lit the belief ihat they have solved the prob lem of handling Snake river gravel ut a profit that will open a very extensive new field of mining industry. Maker City Democrat. Latt Meeting of the Whist Club. The final meeting for the season of the Sumpter Whist club was held last Thurs- 1 day evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. li.

Of course, tills is 110 index to the population of the camp, as there lias been a very rapid increse there of late, and perhaps the majority of the citizens are not yet legal residents.

Last Wednesday William Keese and his associates In the Canton mine at Alamo, when in about three hundrxd feet on their tunnel and one hundred aira fifty feet below the surface, struck a body of ore that showed the gold sticking out all over It in great big chunks, so the current rumor in Granite has it. Whatever the precise facts may be, it is certain that the boys have made a very rich strike and in consequence the Canton will soon take rank as one more of the big mines of tire Granitt district.
