"., DAILY CAPITAL J0UBNAL-6ALEM,' OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 14,-1?o4. PIVK 3 SUCKER STRIKE Gold in Barrels, Buckets and Cans Tell the Story of the Find A Journey by wheel to Holland and thence byi trail on foot up Sucker creek and over the mountains brought us to the "spot which is justly en titled to be. considered one of the wonders of the yorld says the Ash land Tidings. David Brlggs and his family, son-in-law and brother, In all five men and two ladles are In camp by their bo nanza, carefully watching and guard ing It and taking out some gold from time to time. They are making no effort to mine It and are merely tak ing out a few slabs of gold or hand- 7, .,, P awa 0v.f n. .... inl.. . . muu uuin iuey can saieiy deposit the treasure already secured. They argue with reason that the gold Is safer In the ground than It Is out of it. It Is one of the nopiillnr rnnHI. tlons of this mine that the gold can be taken out far more rapidly than It- can bo taken care or. The fact that they are not working night and day on the vein, has been misinterpreted by some one, who do not understand the conditions and the report has thus got abroad that the place Is worked out. Nothing could be further from the truth. Prom nil appearances they have only just begun to take out the gold which Is lying near tho surface. Tho milk pan full of gold in slabs, which was on exhibition at a Grants Pass bank, Is only a preparation for tho wonders that greet the eye whon the mine is visited. At the Brlggs tent, there Is gold In sacks, In cans, and In bottles, in the mortar, In gold pans, in tin cups and cooking utensils, everywhere. There seems to be enough gold in sight around their camp to satisfy a family for a life time yet the major part of what they have taken out has been cached away. The place wheie all this treasure has been taken out, Is an Insignifi cant' hole some twelvo feet In length, as wide as a ledge, which seems to run from 12 to 14 Inches, and, from one to iwo reet deep. All the excavation which has beon "? done could be done by one man In an fr-, hour, though It would probably take him longer than that to pick out tho S Bld. Mr. Brlggs estimates that all the work which has been done is not more than half a day's work for one man, and tho estlmnto seems a rea sonable one. The find Is no "pocket." It is a true fissure vein on a contact between granite and porphyry and Is traceable for a long distance' along tho side of tho mountain. No ' tests have yet been made to show the extent of tho rich pay chute, which still continues both longitudinally and vertically from the excavation. Tho quartz, exclus ive of tho seams of pure gold, carries mining values from ?8 to ?20 to tho ton. Gold Is diffused throuuh tho rock Itself and Is not found alono In the soanfs. This Is persumed to bo a good Indication of permanency. Tho vein at the en I of the excavation Is about 12 inches wldo. Tho find Is located on one of tho spurs of Tennant peak of the Slskl yous. Tennant peak is the culmina tion of a triple watershed which em braces tributaries of Sucker creek, Althouse creek and of tho Klamath river, Tho ledge Is on' tho sUopo which leads to Thompson creek, a tributary of tho Klamath, and is only about 100 yards from tho top of tho divide which slopes on the north sldo to Fehely gulch, a small tributary of Sucker creek. It may bo considered tho same dlvldo or "backbone" which separates Sucker creek and Althouso. This ridgo is one of tho biggest gold carriers on tho Pacific coast, This is a better country to live-in, because Schilling's Best is in it.

The recent physical and financial colla'pso of B. F. Dillingham, the "Monte Crlsto" of Hawaii, recalls the romantic story of his youth. Dillingham, when a very young mahj shipped as an able seaman on eu sail ing vessel bound for Sydney. During a heavy storm tho vessel was" wrecked, and ho was tho only men? ber of the crow to survlvo the fearful hardships "encountered whllo drifting In a small whaleboat in mid-ocean. When, almost dead from' exposure and starvation Dillingham was cast up by tho sea on the island of Oahu, where ho was rescued from death bjrl the beautiful daughter of a mission ary. The young woman watohed by his side day. and night until he was restored to health. It was thus that a pretty romanco began, culminating In matrimony. Hl3 young wife brought Dillingham good fortuno, for he had remarkable suc cess In trading with tho natives, and he soon had acquired the foundation of tho vast wealth which afterwards made him the richest of the numer ous millionaire planters of tho Ha waiian Islands. The financial genius of the young castaway astounded the growing commercial circles of Hono lulu, and he rapidly developed Into a powerful factor In commercial af fairs. The handsome young girl who nuwed the castaway through his fever and saved his life became a so cial leader, nad the name of Dilling ham took first place when aristocratic planters and their families from Eng land and New England had gathered and formed an exclusive social circle In Honololu. For many years tho Dillingham' for tune grew, and B. F. Dillingham was at the back of nearly every scheme for promoting the commercial Import ance of the Islands. He built the beautiful scenic Oahu railway, and his name was Identified with every pro gressive movement thai was made in the Islands. Four children camo to the house of Dillingham. The two boys took high honors at Yale, and the two girls were educated In East ern seminaries. Tho eldest, now tho wife of Judge W. F. Frear, of tho ter ritorial supreme court, Is a writer of some note, and her verses are fre- 1ontly published In tho leading mag- uziues. iho uiiimguum uomo on Punahou Road, Honolulu, is one of tho nSt beautiful residences In the Islands. Tho financial crash that has demol ished the Dillingham fortuno camo as 'a surprise to tho financial world, which rated tho namo of Dillingham as one of tho most substantial In finance, and It has mado a complete wreck of Dillingham himself. Plunged into tho depths of misery and despair and tho victim of nervous proctratlon, ho now lies in a sanitarium in this city, and besldo him watches his wife, who has never once ceased to bo hla companion and comforter since the day she found him a mlserablo cast away on tho Island of Oahu. Young Walter F. Dillingham, who Inherits his father's financial genus, lias declared his Intention of retriev ing tho family fortune. He lost hid own personal fortuno In attempting to save his father's, and, as soon as the crash came, he sold his string of polo ponies, and rolled up his sleeves and went to work. .Thoso who know him say that tho namo of Dillingham will not be alllowed to drop out of tho financial and commercial affairs of tho Island. . o Sawmills Burned.

Tho fire was first discov ered, whon one of tho proprietors of the mill went to build a flro In tho en gine at about 5 o'clock in tho morn ing, whon ho saw a small blazo in tho sawdust near tho slab saw, and he proceeded to extinguish the flro, as he thought, wher. suddenly thoro was a kind of an explosion Just abovo among tho du',t and oil, and In a few minutes the entire building was a mass of flr.mes. The heat was so great that tho heavy castings of tho planer were melted down and entirely ruined.

Tho flro originated iu tho conveyor, and It was with difficulty oa tho part of the employes that it was extinguished.
