Tin: I'acille .Miner, puhlli-hcd at I'ort

more ncceptahlo form than heretofore,
having ali.nnloued the antiiiiated
hlanket hheel and ni-Mim'il the form of
n Hiapi.iHe. The I'tii-ilic Miner in much
heller than the ordinary periodical of
itr kind, hut in uellinuolT wnuin on cev

Tin: M i n i : it uIi-Iiih to hae it heart to
heart talk with it.
Firstly, it N poiu iik aiietirminator
of fraud mid U evidently nsxiduouxly
looking for material wltli w hich to make
that kind of a play. Apparently, it
would prefer to exu a well developed
mining fraud than to puhlifh the fiietn
pertainlii); to a great mineral ilincovery.
For iiiHtance, it terniM the recent re
ported llud in t lie i (lend of the Snake
iih a "pl.icer hulihle," and thrown din
credit on the report. Admit thin mat
ter, in another place, it kivh:
"Don't he duped into running after
that fake Ihioiii in the dig (lend of the
Snake river, Idaho. The region in not
enough developed to demonntrato itH
worth, oxen If it were a rich region."
That IiihI M'liteneo in the ohhoiico of
find advice. Supo.-o provctorM and
mining men nhould nut upon it ; no din
Irii't ever would he developed. Itogard
ing the whole ImntncxH the 1'aeillo Miner
!h ignorant, and nhould not condemn
without evidence. Iteputahle mining
men nay there in u groat gold deponlt
there. IMviil W'IImiii told Tin: Minkii
lant week that lie will immediately nink
on home ground that he ow iih in that
Ycctinu, mill Mr. Wilnoii minon with IiIh
own money. Of courn), the I'ueillo
Miner wtixt'xtulillnliitl for the urMHoof
iMHHiiiug the St. lleloiiH illi-trict, which
!h till right and pruiwr, ntrii-tly legitl
mute; hut in order to do thin it is not
itci-eHMiry to ry wolf nt any other min
ing region on tlio glolni.
Again, in tin editorial headed "Ono
'i'yK of Stupidity," it ridicules and
ubiiHUM an unt-tvrn Oregon delegate to
the recent International Mining congrofH
hucaiiHO he voted for Ilutto inntead of
Portland as tlio place for the mooting of
thu next eongruHH. The eastern Oregon
inaii'H reanon for hi doing in that Port
land !h not a mining town and docn not
Hiipxirtthu mining iuturentH of itH own
Mate. Hoth HtiitemuutH are true, and
the reanoiiH contained tlicroin are nouud
and Hiillicient. Ilutto Iiiih inveHted in
our mines ten dollarH for every one that
Portland Iiiih caulioiiHly, begrudging'
placed here. Spokane Iiiih put in twenty-
live to Portlaud'H one.
The truth of the matter in that Port
land 1h a truck-garden, creamery, hay
presn town, and never will lie a mining
center, bccmihe itH Ini.-ineH men are not
built that way. ItH longnuit in reaching
out for home kind of a convention that
cohtH nothing to get ; a it clamored for
the mining coiigreHH, without even pro
ducing the if: 11)00 guarantee required.
Since Oregon Iiiih been a Mate, Portland
Iiiih hogged the political peripiisiteH and
gicn ciiMern Oreuon the throw-down.
Since men of eliterpii.-e have come here
from other Mates and made our mining
iudiiHlry one of Importance, the name
