ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Cyanide Process

w. NJ. Nesbit, manager Of the
Gold Hill mine, at Quartsburg, is
in the city. He brought down a
bar of silver and gold, valued at
about 1920, the FIRST results of the
test Of the cyanide process of treat
ing the sulphure.s which are found
in such enormous quantities in the
Basin.
The successful outcome of the
cyanide test is significant. 1t means
a practical revolution in quartz
mining in a section that has already
produced its millions.
Mr.. Nesbit has been greatly hand
icapped in bis work. Nevertheless
since the cyanide plant has been in
operation-a period of abont 30
days-he has worked 220 tons OF
sulphurets and tailings which have
yielded 50 ton at an expense OF
about 81 so ton. Mr.. Nesbit only
made partial cleanup of the 22O
tons run, there being yet about 500
to be taken out.
During the 25 years that the Gold
Hill has been operated the free gold
caught on the plates was the sole
remuneration of the owners. This
averaged throughout about S. a ton
Down the gulch went the failing,
containing more wealth than had
been originally taken from the ore
! "a terrible waste.
Mr.. Nesbit estimates that during
the 25 years millions have been los
in that manner to the owners of the
Gold Hill.
The cyanide process has devel
oped a fac: that had never been ap
preciated before-that the Gold Hill
ore contained considerable silver
The proportion is about three
ounces Of silver to one of gold.
Mr.. Nesbit says besides working
the tailings as they come from tn
mill there is about 5000 tons of sui
phurets on hand that he will com
mence to put through the cyanid
process. From this huge pile Q
waste" at least $4,000 will be Sc
cured.
The FIVE cyanide tanks have ca
pacity of As tons, and if these ar
found to be insufficient to handl
the tailings and at the same tim
decrease the number of tons Of su
phurets which have been save
during the past few years, mol
tanks will be added.
| Mr.. Nesbit will make a CLEANUP
of the mill before he again return
to the capital.-Statesman.

Pennoysr Announces Himself q Full
Pledged Popullst.

Governor Pennoyer, in answer to
a letter from Mr.. A. B. Manley, a
populist of Umatilla county who
wrote and asked him whether the
reports that he would espouse the
cause Of the populists in tho next
campaign we're we'll founded, re-
piled as follows:
Mn. A. B. STANLEY, Echo, o.
My Dear Sir: In answer to your
letter of the 23rd instant, will say
that you may count upon my being
in the front of the fight next June
for the Populist cause. You say
that you cast your first Democratic
ballot for me after being q Republic
can for twenty years. Do you know
why you did it? 1t was because of
my advocacy Of Populist doctrine.
Seven years ago in my first canvass
l favored free coinage, the abolition
of the national banking system and
an income tax-all good Populist
doctrines. Three years ago in .
magazine article, l favored loans
by the government direct to the peo-
pie instead of to national banks
alone, and in all my messages to the
legislature / have favored control
of corporations by maximum rate
law, AZ we'll as change in the as
sessusut iuws or the stare by which
the rich could no longer evade tax
alton. OF course l am a Populist ;
and as nine-tenths of the people Of
Oregon favor the same doctrines
they are Populists, and it is there
fore quite reasonable to expect 8
sweeping Populist victory in Ore
gon, if we only keep in the middle
of the road. Very respectfully,
SYLVESTER PENSoYER.

ing forth his intention to hold the

THANKSGIVING.

Thursday, November Goth, will
be Thanksgiving day, set apart by
the Chief Executive TO be observed
In general thanksgiving and praise
to God on High for the many bless.
ings which we have received from
His hands during the closing year.
It is q day for devout worship,
good cheer and kindly deeds. The
poor rejoice that this day has sufR.
cient significance to temper the
thoughts of the rich to their needs.
The rich rejoice that the spirit Of
charity is still alive in their hearts
that they may enjoy the pleasures
Of giving.
The cry of want is heard by ears
upon this day Of the year that be-
fore have been deaf to the voice of
pleading. In the squalid homes Of
the wre:ched poor, where the hearth
has been cold and the larder empty
many, very many days of the year,
then will the inmates be made
happy and comfortable with the
Thanksgiving cheer provided for
them by good samaritans through
out the land.
Tho glistening snow and the
bleak aspect of the outside world
are but the stern heralds of this
glorious old-fashioned day, and is
marked contrast to the warmth
and good cheer within. 1t would
disturb the eternal fitness of things
to eat the time-honored bird and
national pie in the leafy days Of
June. The wise gobbler may con-
template 4 perch upon the crescent
of the moon, but flanked by cram
berry sauce and the conventional
pumpkin pie, he bids farewell to
this vain world, positively, the last
Thursday in November-and not a
day earlier, if you please.
