AGAIN THE GOLD MINE.
Latest Assays Show Some Remark
able Rich Ores, and the Az
erage of All Is High.

erdge of All Is High.
Whileapparently little progress has
been made in developing the Red
wood county gold mine during the
past month or so. statements made in
Sundays Pioneer Press indicate that
the officers of the company recent
" Incorporated to work the mine have
not been idle. These gentlemen, who
belong to Minneapolis, returned last
week from St. Paul, whore they have
been for ten days preyious,all.of them
working in the laboratory Of N. Lehn-
en-, analyst, assisting him in extensive
gold assays and in testing the differ
emit processes by which the quartz can
be most efficiently reduced. The Of
ficers of the company discovered be-
fore putting up the machinery that
the type of machinery they had or
dered was not SO suitable for reducing
the quartz of the Redwood mines as
some other type procurable. They
have now determined on the additions
and alterations necessary to be made
to their former order, and began this
week the buildings for the stamp mill
and refining machinery. The products
of the latest assays, the reports of
which we're seen by Pioneer Press
correspondent over the signature of
Analyst Lehnen, St. Paul, and Oliver
G. Seward, Minneapolis, are startling.
These assays respectively give 81, $40
and $2,75O.to the ton. The assays
were made from 500 -pound quantities
of gold quartz. The quartz thus test
ed has been found at a depth of 20
feet from the surface. The shaft
which the miners are now working is
about eight feet wide and eleven feet
long. Out of this width one portion
of the vein nearest the Minnesota riv-
er, measuring twenty inches, produces
these rich results. Six feet of the rest
of the vein give results of from $45 to
500 ton. In both portions are found
considerable quantities of silver.
AS many men as can work in the
present shaft are to be put on immed-
lately the shaft gets down to depth
Of fifty feet and covered before the
snow flies. The winters work will con-
sist in drifting on either side from the
fifty-foot depth. A. J. Gilbert, of Col
orado, an expert in gold and silver
mining, along with Lehnen, recently
visited the mine, and they together
belieye that this will be the most
profitable depth to work at. These ex-
perts say that the Redwood Falls gold
is found in the oldest formation, that
of sulphate and pyrites, which are the
best features of gold bearing quartz.
They assert that if a like discovery
had been made anywhere in the re-
gion of the Rocky mountains there
would be a fifteen thousand popula-
ton there in six weeks. Out of forty
assays made over the entire vein since
the work began four months ago the
average product has been 1920 to the
ton. There are now several large
heaps of quartz lying at the mouth of
the shaft waiting the erection of the
machinery.

The excursion given to st. Mar
tinville on last Sunday by Thibo-
deaux FIRE Co No l and Home
Hook and Ladder Co No l, was
we'll enjoyed by all those who par
ticipated. 1t was an ideal day for
an outing, and the run over to the
little city was made in very rapid
time. The reception rendered to
the 6remen and their friends was
very hattering, and the freedom
of the city was given to the e1cur-
sionists. The return home was
also made made in good time, the
train arriving here, but a few
minutes of eleven. We are sorry
to hear that the excursion was not
a success financially, as arrange
ments had been made for quite a
large crowd, two extra coaches
having been charterd. The ex-
cursionists speak in the highest
terms Of the good people of st.
Martinville, who extended them
every hospitality, and made their
short stay very pleasant.
We learn that the loss will agre-
gate about one hundred dollars.

COUNTY JUDGES CONVENTION

Last week a convention of the county
Judges of Oregon was held in Portland.
Their principal object seems to have been
the formulation of laws to be passed by
the next legislature. The fact of these
gentlemen organizing themselves into a
body for the purpose of suggesting legisla-
ton will result in much good as they are
familiar with the defects in existing stat
utes, and know wherein they should be
modified to meet the requirements of the
public.
The suggestion that assessors be ap-
pointed by the county court is good
one, and will meet with general APPROX
al. The same, however, can not be said
of the plan to reduce the fees of wit
nesses before county and justice ,courts
from SI.5o to 500 per day. When a
farmer is compelled to leave his work to
attend court he should be allowed fair
remuneration for his time and inconven-
ience, and SI.5o per day and mileage is
little enough compensation for such ser
vice. If, however, he is cited to appear
at-say three o'clock in the afternoon,
and he is not compelled to lose more
than half days time he should be al
lowed and paid for only a half day;
otherwise, he should receive pay for the
entire day.
OF all the resolutions adopted by the
convention, none will meet with more
general endorsement than the following
one introduced by Judge Hufford of this
county:
''That the law be amended SO that ii
will not be necessary for the several coun-
ties of this state to send certified copy
of tax roll, but it shall be sufficient to
send certified copy of the tabulated
statement of the county clerk to make
out receipts showing the amount cf taxes
due from each individual, with warrant
attached thereto"
In their action on the salary question,
however, they did nothing to indicate
that any one of their number was liable
to die suddenly from enlargement of the
heart. Although each of them now re,
ceives more compensation for the ser
vices actually performed than any other
of the county officials, they adoped no
resolution, asking for reduction of
their own salaries, but insisted on the
passage of laws to regulate the compen-
sation of the sheriff, clerk and recorder
IF there is any class of salaried officials
in the state whose pay should be reduced
it is this body who have been engaged in
removing the mote from the eyes of other
officials Generally speaking, county
judges are not employed to exceed sixty
days each year in the discharge Of their
official duties, yet they receive about as

quently met with. Disbelief in the ability
of medicine to cure is only mild form of
monomania, although in some cases repeated
failures to obtain relief from many different
sources would almost seem to justify the
doubt. Hostetter's Stomach Bieters has
demonstrated its ability to overcome dys-
pepsia, constipation, liver and kidney trou-
BILE, malarial complaints and nervousness,

quer the most obstinate cases.

CORVALLIS. OREGON. NOV. ., 1894.
SENATOR LORD OF OREGON.

Senator Lord Of Oregon It looks
we'll, sounds we'll, and there is no doubt
but such a selection would be well for
the best interests of the state In fact,
there seems 70 be no man among us who
could more ftly represent the state and
its diversity of interests in the y. S.
Senate than our governor-elect- He is a
man ofthe highest integrity, familiar with
the needs of the people, ripe in expert
ence, sound on finance, popular, and is
that conld be found to enter the contest
against Mr.. DoIph. That he IS popular
is evidenced by the overwhelming ma
jority given him last June; and that pop
ularity has been increased two-fold by
his recent utterances in favor of silver.
The single standard gold-bug aristocracy,
which Senator Dolph has been, and
always will be Identified with, is antago-
nistic to the welfare of Oregon. On this
vital question of silver, he has never rep
resented his constituents, because at least
three-fourths of the voters of Oregon,
which includes at least three-fourths of
the intelligence of the state, desire legis-
1ation favorable to the increased use of
the white metal. If the republican party
was ever under obligations to Mr.. Dolph
it has certainly discharged its duty by al
lowing him to nlisrepresent their inter
ests for twelve long years. Many per
sons are laboring under the hallucination
that the entire brains, intelligence and
business capacity of the state has been
concentrated and placed under Mr..
Do1ph,s silk hat. This Is the silliest
twaddle. If there is but one man III the
state who cen represent our interests in
Washington, we had better shut up shop.
In the course of fifty years he might die,
and then we would be in terrible pre-
dicament. Of course, a corporation law
ported expressly for this purpose, but
such a proceeding would be hu1niliating
il the extreme. What we want is 1pan
that will represent the people, and not
one so thoroughly bound up in his own
conceit as. to suppose he knows it all,
and that his constituents are a lot of
know-nothings. The people may not
triumph in this, but if they don't it will
be as the Oregonian puts it in the case of
Breckinridge, 'sorne men have better
chances before legislature than before
the people" If Mr.. Dolph succeeds him
self it will be because members of the
legislature misrepresent their constitu
ents. Let US hope the Oregon legisla
ture is not one to compare with the legis
1ature of Kentucky, and that W. P. Lord
will be the next senator from the Web
foot state.

A JUST ASSESSMENT LAW.

The first and most important act for the
next legislature to attend to is the repeal
of the present abominsble assessment law
1t is hard enough to pay on what one owns,
without being assessed on his indebtedness.
There is probably no more perplexing legis-
lation than that pertaining to taxes, yet 1t
seems as though, after hundreds OF years
of experience, a law might be enacted that
would meet the requirements, and be
just and equitable to all.
To pass such a law, however, is difficult
task, for the reason that dishonest taxpay-
ers, of whom there are many, will strenuous.
ly oppose any bill, the intent of which is to
bring to the notice of the assessor all classes
of property. Under the present law, as
ell as under the operation of former ones,
great deal of personal property, such as
notes and accounts, escape taxation, be-
cause of the dishonesty of the creditor class.
If the listing of their goods and chattles is
to be left in their hands, no remedy for ex-
isting evils can be found. This u1atter,
however, can be very readily adjusted by
permitting the debtor class to list notes and
accounts, instead of making such duty in
cumbent upon the creditor class.
To illustrate, we will say the assessor Wis
its John Doe for the purpose Of assessing
him. He lie found to be possessed OF rea
and personal property-exclusive Of notes
and accounts-vslued at $1,000. WiGh his
| schedule of property, Mr.. Doe also lists his
indebtedness: Note due A. B. for $780,
dated January Ist, 1894; account due G. d
for $500, dated March lst, 1894. BY this
schedule, Mr. Doe is entitled to an exemp
tion of $1,000. He, however, pays taxes OF
the full amount, 5000, but takes from the
| sheriff receipt for the amount paid on eact
Then, when A. B. and C. D. call On Mr.
Doe for settlement, he produces his re-
ceipts for taxes paid ON their claims, ant
turns them over in cancellation. or par
payment of the debts BY this plan, note
and accounts could not escape taxation a
many of them now do. Besides this, tn
debtor class would be exempted from taxa
tion on their Indebtedness; still the indebt
edness would be taxed.
Although no hardship would be worked
on anyone by the operation of such a meas
ure, it would be vigorously opposed in tn
Legislature by dishonest bankers, none,
| lenders and merchants, who have been il

portion of their property, through question:

FACTS CONCERNING SILVER.

Sir Isaac Newton once said when
facing an apparent fact, that confronted
one of his own theories, that 'ttf1e theory
must give way, there is no arguing against
Ia fact" We are constantly met with
theories upon the financial questions by
the single gold standard advocates the
same as we have also been treated to
theories by the free traders. We now
have the facts presented to us as result,
by the country's loss of prosperity, and
the disaster which has followed the car
rying out of theories. 1t has applied as
we'll to the financial distress as to the
industrial. Senator Chandler, of New
Hampshire, said in the year of 1893, ''To
adopt single gold standard, it seems to
me, would produce such fail in the
prices of all kinds of property, real and
personal, as wonld make such panic as
the world has not seen for many years.
There is financial trouble all over the
world. The maintenance of the policy
of protection won1d sustain the country
in reasonably safe and prosperous con-
dition, but with the stoppage of the use
of silver, and the adoption of tariff for
revenue only, we shall have harder times
than this country ever yet saw"
Does anyone deny these facts, or that
it is what single gold standard means !?
