from Montreal say that the group of
Canadian (financiers who are oonneoted
with the Bank of Montreal are starting
for Cuba to arrange for the establishment
of a banking house there.
Th enterprise. It Is said, will go s
great deal farther than the mere, estab

bent upon establishing a practical bank
ing monopoly with the Central bank in
Havana' and branch banks m the different

PETRIFIED FOREST
FOR NATIONAL PARK
(Journal Special Service.)
WASHINGTON, April C Congressman
Lacey of Iowa, who has introduced a bill
providing for tbe creation of a national
park, which will Include within its -boundaries
the petrified forest of Arlxona, has
received assurances that it will not be
opposed In the Senate.' Ho has long been
known as the defender of native animals
and birds . and one Interested in forest
preservation.
He believes the petrified forest is the
largest national wonder of its kind in ex
istence and has made an active canvass
to secure favorable action on his bill.
The proposed park' embraces 2000 acres
lying In the land grant f t(ie Santa Fe
road. It is ths largest petrified forest In
the world. It is 7200 feet above the
ocean and absolutely a desert, Incapable
of vegetation of any sort.
Ths trees are of an extinct species, con
iferous in, character, with a diameter of
troth four to five feet at the butt and of
ten two or three feet at the tops, their
height being sometimes as great as 130
feet
It is explained by scientists that tbe
petrified trees are not lying where they
grew, ' but were carried thers' by some
prehistoric flood. Submerged for ages
at the bottom of a great sea, they became
saturated with the salts, which gradually
petrified them.
A deposit of Soft sandstone, in some
places 40 feet thick, overlies them.

MARKET! FOR . WOOL'
Great Chicago Stockhouse Where
i - Growers May Holr f w
: (Journal 8peial Scrvlca.)
CHICAGO, .April 'tt.-rU U proposed to
erect a great warehouse In this city: for
th storage of wool, where the growers
of th West may mak their own pro
duct and save the commission now paid
to several middlemen, .:
Arthur Q. 'Leonard, general manager of
ths Union Stpckyarda & Transit - com
pany, which handles all th livestock en
tering Chicago, la discussing th sub
ject said:'
' "What we propose is an exchange at
Chicago where Northwestern wool grow
ers may handle their own product and
retain control of It until Jt ,nt0 ttur
chasers' hands. At present tho grower Is
not posted on market' condlflons and has
no - facilities for securing information."
He has ths alternative of taking what
ever the visiting buyer offers or shipping
his wool to Boston or Philadelphia and
placing himself at the mercy of the com
mission bouses. " , ' ". '
i ,By the proposed arrangement growers
will save the commission they now pay
apd their Interests will be looked 'after
by a ' salaried expert in their employ
whose object will naturally be the secur
ing of tbe best possible prices. He will
then be as closely In touch wlfh ths
markets as the buyer and, as certificates
of receipts will be negotiable, h will not
be 'forced to sell, but can carry ' his
stocks at a fair rate of interest for an In
definite period. The Union Stockyards
company has ho Intention of making
money out of th arrangement. We will
get th ohorges for handling th product,,
but storage and insurance will be at bed
rock prices and growers will pay no com
mission save the salary of their agent.
Estimating the Montana output at 30,
000,000 pounds annually, this saving can
be realised, :,commlslon in Philadelphia
being one cent and In Boston two cents
per pound. For one-third of this expense
grower can "hav their Interests looked
after by their salaried agent" '."
PLEASED' WITH SPOKANE.
.County Commissioner J,; Q., Mack, who

"Spokane Is a bright, up-to-date city
Every street of the business section is
paved with asphalt AH the streets of
the residence districts are of stone. Flni
bioyele tracks are" numerous. The bus!
ness houses are large and imposing, and
the private residences are modern and

ment is fashioned" after the best form
of Eastern towns, and the officials are
well selected. They have a separate

' MINES AND MINING.
The Gblconda mine, seven miles from
8umpter, was sold last -week for 1250,000.
Ths owner of the mine were John G.
and John T. English of Danville, 111.,
and . thei purchasers are capitalists and
business men of Pendleton.
Report baa It that a seven-foot body of
ore of excellent grade has been encoun
tered In the White Bear mine at Ross
land, B. C, at the 900-foot level. On the
strength of the strike, 60,000 shares in ths
property changed hands the other day.
Some very promising prospects have
been located In the - Marshall Lake and
Bear Creek country. In Idaho. It is said,
but perhaps with considerable exaggera
tion, that samples from the Wright &
Scott prdperllea there show quarts that
runs 'as high as one-third Its weight In
gold. -' '
Work ' Is being resumed this spring in
several mine In the Slocan country, B.
C which have been ldla for several
years.?. Th re In this district Is princi
pally galena, and mucb of it runs high in
-assay,, but th main drawback to the
owners has .bean high duHea and poor
transportation, facilities.
' Parties Just down from what Is known
'is the Bussinl placer mines on Beaver
creek report a wonderfully rich striks of
'at occurrence; sasy tho- La Grande
Chronicle. When down some 10 feet s
-strata ' of Very rich gravel was struck
hat promise to be one of the riohest
md. most extanslve stratas of pay dirt
hat has been found In Eastern Oregon
for many years. . These mines were dis
covered mora than to years ago, but until
late years have been overlooked.
A large matting plant has been con
tracted for and will be erected at the
Tempest mln In Greenhorn District as
soon as the road wl)l permit the hauling
in of the machinery.
J, W. Messnar of jfhe Hoosler Boy Com
pany reached , Sumpter yesterday .with a
portion of the first cleanup of the Prairie
Diggings mine, whloh be deposited In the
First Bank of Sumpter, ssys ths Sump
ter American; Mr. Messner would not
stat tbe value of th brick, nor would
the bank officials divulge the Informa
tion. He said th work at ths mill was
highly satisfactory and the company was
thoroughly satisfied with the values
saved.
The Blue Mountain Eagle learns that
the company owning a group of quarts
claims on Sheep Gulch have let a con
tract for 100 feet of tunnel to be driven
on the Monarch ledge. The tunnel on this
property Is already In T5 feet at which
point the ledge shows up about $16 pqr
ton In values. Ths oompany looks for
ward to the completion of 100 feet more
tunnel, showing up a ledge with ore much
mora Valuable than any obtained from
the property up to this time. The Mon
arch ha,a every appearance of developing
Into an excellent property.
Speaking fo the mines near Baker City,
a well-known mining man said: "The
North Pole is unequivocally one of the
biggest mines in Amsrlca. Equipped with
100 stamps it would produce t5.000.000 per
year for an Indefinite time. The only way
to understand th marvelous value of th
mine is to enter the stopes In the third
and intermediate tunnel levels, where an
or body is exposed that. is fully 30 feet
wide. In which are streaks. of ore from
four Inches to two fast In thickness, that
contains rock worth HO per pound. The
remaining width of the or body averages
IIS. This may sound Ilka a 'bop dream' to
tbe men of little faith, but I want to ssy
to you that" 'it is the plain, unvarnished
truth."
John Noble of Oregon City has let a
contract for pushing the tunnel work ISO
feet further on the Paul Kruger group of
claims In the Sumpter District.

an object of great interest to the lovers

natives will assure you with sober faces
that the temperature Is never too hot
and. never too cold, but always Just ex

The tobacco Is grown on the sunny side,
oft the rocky hills, but the supply is lim
ited, and most of ths cigarettes are sent
to special dealers In England and at the
European capitals for the consumption of
the royal families, the nobility and the
high class clubs and hotels, Russia Is
the largest market. Tbe wines of Samos
are also celebrated, but the area In vine
yards is small, and, like the tobacco, the
entire yield Is sold to special buyers and
