V. It. Mollis, who has chaw of tbo Oregon mineral exhibit at tbo St. Llouls exposition, Is up from linker City today, looking after matters per taining to his otllco. Mr. Mellis Hays : "I am lecoivlug tho hearty support from mining mini in all sections of the statu, and I buvo their assurance, lioth personally and by letter, that I may depend upon their assistance in ovmy way pnsslhln low aid getting together 11 I'leditable statu exhibit. Tho various districts am anxious to bo represented mid will not lie slow to respond. My pieseut plans are to nrrho in St. Louis about April 1, and get things in shape for the open ing of the big hIkiw." Mr. Mellis has completed his designs for the Oicgou iniueial booth hi the Mines building. It Is an artlsllo conception, and will serve well for the purpose intended: and at the same time cannot help attract ing attention. The booth is to occupy it 10x11 foot space. Sur mounting the entrance is n semi circle hearing the word "Oregon". Ileiieath title across the front, sur rounded by handsome carvings, are the names of the leading minerals produced in the statu. These in the order they will appear are, lead, cinuibar, gold, cobalt, silver, copper, iron, platinum, and coal. In the center of tho booth will be a mineral palace of beautiful design, which will be occupied by Mr. Mellis as an olllce. Then there will be a sulll dent number of floor mid wall cases covered with plate glass to servo as receptacles for the mineral display. The whole Idea is striking and at tiactlveaud will not fail to call atten tion to the state's vast nilueial resources. PROGRESS OF WORK AT THE STORM KING Annual Stockholder's Meeting.

Carlson, until recently mill HUpiiiiuteudent at the (iolcniidn, has taken the agency for the llendryx cyanide piocess, full dcscilptious of which and the woudeifiil woik it is doing The Miner has piihlihhcd from time to time. The process was in vented by Dr. llendryx, of Spokane, wheie ho has a small plant In opera tion. The device has two nidlcal changes mid Impiovemeuts oor the old met hod; electricity is used and u dlireieut mechanical arrangement for agitating the pulp is employed. It is claimed that practically all the gold values me saved, , generally as high as ninety eight per cent, lie public oies have been treated with gratilyiiig success at the Spokane plant, and it is piedicted that the process will be the salvation of that long dormant camp. Mr. Carlson is endeavoring to in duce the (Solcouda management to put in a plant at a cost of about 3,000, ami thinks he will succeed. lie believes that its concentrates can be worked Into bullion ou the ground and thus save transportation and smelter charges. The llendryx cyalildllig process is attracting much favorable attention from the mining world and it Is hoped that it will iuauguiate another benetlcial revolution In oru treat ment. Colorado Miner Will Open the Queen. Louis Smith, brother in law of Eugene Ihirtholf, arrived from Colo lado a few days hi lice. He is an ex perienced miner and the day after Christmas will taken force of men to thutiipsy Queen mine to resume work ou that property. Eugene lliirtbolf, j who was authorized by the llostou owners to do a lot of development 'work thereon, started operations i some davs since, but found it ox- ' pedient to shut down until ho could get mm e men. As is generally known, the me shoot In this property is far beneath the surface, and tbo tunnel passes over its top, occasion ally cutting through at a high point. A shaft will now be sunk ou the ledge, near the mouth of the tunnel. 'CLAIMS MADE BY MERGER ! BORDER ON THE ABSURD. In this brief ou the merger case, Attorney General Knox with a single sentence discloses the full purpose of the Northern Securities by saying: "A more effective method for com bining competivu interests for sup prcsslg competitoii between rival and naturally competing business corporations- it would hardly be possible to conceive. And Mr. Knox bluntly states a fact when he declares that "it borders ou the absurd to say that two railway corporations, which under normal conditions are mitur ally competitors for tratllc, will con tinue to compote In any realization after both become subject to the same sourse of control." All this juggling of stock and all these positive assertions that the inerger roads will bo run iudepently do not alter the fact, as sot forth by the attorney general, that the same set of men become vested with ab solute power of control over compet ing systems of interstate railway, 'ami that for rival and computing In tel est s tlieie is substituted one com- SWIFT. MISSING MINER. PROBABLY WENT EAST It seems probable now that tieorgo Swift, the old miner who was thought to be lost, left for his old home hi Illinois, without letting tho fact of his doparturo bo generally known. T. J. iiyan, who bus charge of Wright's sawmill at Lawton, is in tho city today, and states that ho raw Swift at (Irimito about six weeks ago. Swift told him that he had just re ceived a ticket from relatives at his old home in Illinois, and intended leaving on tho stago fur Sumpter tho next morning. He would depart for tho east at once. Mr. Kyau also Inferred from his conversation with Swift that his Illinois relatives had sent him a goodly Hum of money, too, since be Intimated that ho was better llxed then than lie had been in a long time. Swift said that it was about llfteeii years since ho bad vis ited his native state, or had seen any of his relatives. Mr. Ryan is per sonally acquainted with Swift, and has known him a number of years. Ho said that Swift had been drinking pretty heavily for some time prior to his leaving Granite, but when he had the conversation in question with him be was perfectly sober. This probably accounts for Swift's strange disappearance, yet .lesso Hob sou, of the Hobson Mercantile com pany, who is intimately acquainted with Swift, and is interested "with him in sundry mining properties, is at a loss to account for his peculiar conduct. Mr. Hobson says that Swift always kept him Informed as to his movements, and why he should leave ou this occasion without mentioning the fact, is dittlcult to understand. jMore than this, Swift said he was I going out to Deor creek to work ou I his mining claims, aud gave uo in ' timatiou of an eastern trip.
