PLACER MINING IN BAKER,.
Rich Strike Made in an Abandoned Mine
Near Baker City.

Rich Strike Made in an Abandoned Mine
Near Baker City.
BAKER Cry, Or, March ia won
derfully rich strike was made yesterday
in placer mine situated in gulch just
below the Virtue mine by G. F. Case
bier, veteran prospector of this county.
The guch wherein the claim is located
has been fabulously rich in coarse gold,
but of late years was thought to be
worked out. Last year Mr.. Casebier To-
Gated a claim and began work drift
ing," and yesterday he found this rich
deposit containing several hundred dol.
lars in nuggets and coarse gold. One OF
the pieces is composed of quartz and
gold, and is valued at $3.50. Several
smaller pieces were found ranging from
$40 up. The strike is only additional
evidence that the placer mines OF this
county have not been carefully and
thoroughly worked. In every instance
where abandoned claims have been re-
located rich strikes have been made.
The fact is, gold may be found in almost
every pan of dirt taken from the gulches
in our mountains. The only drawback
is the scarcity of water during certain
portions of the year. If a canal were
taken out of Powder river, near Sump-
ter, for irrigating and mining purposes,
it would prove Of incalculable benefit to
the promoters of the project, and not
only develope a vast amount of valuable
placer mining properties, but reclaim
thousands of acres of valuable fruit and
farming land.

Thousands Of Gallons Taken by Means
of Syphon.
COLUMBIA, S. c., March 20.-In 1892
Henry Bieman, OF Walhalla, S. c., sold
to w. G. Tatum four government distil-
leries and bonded warehouses, situated
at distances of half mile apart. Tatum
at once closed the distilleries, and be-
tween 5000 and 10000 gallons of corn
whisky in bond were locked in the
warehouses under the government seal
The night of September 5, two days be-
fore the expiration of the bonded period,
three of the distilleries were burned.
Only seventy gallons were stored in the
fourth. Deputies Vanderford and King
were detailed to investigate the fires.
They failed to find at the sites of the
burned warehouses any of the signs
which burning whisky would leave.
After collecting evidence sufficient to
implicate severed persons, full confess
sions were obtained, showing that soon
after the purchase by Tatum one of the
warehouses was secretly opened. One
end of hose was inserted In a barrel OF
whisky, and the other was placed IN
barrel at the foot of hill forty yards
distant. This syphon process was re.
peated nightly, until the entire stock OF
whisky in the four warehouses had been
removed. The empty barrels were filled
with water, and the staples, which had
been removed from the doors, were
skillfully replaced. The government
expects to hold Tatum's bondsmen re-
sponsible. John Farmer, Asbury Hyde,
Tony Watkins, William Whitman and
John Rowland have been arrested and
held for trial.

New YORK, March 19.-The Herald's
special from Key West, Fla, says: Pas
sengers on the steamer which arrived
from Havana last night bring news OF
reports in circulation there OF further
depredations by Spanish cruisers on
American vessels along the Cuban coast.
The latest report is that the Spanish
gunboat Arcedo fired into and sunk an
American schooner off Puerto del Padre;
1t is reported that the crew of the vessel
numbering sixteen persons perlshed
with it. 1t is not known whether the
schooner had arms or carried an expe-
dition for the Cubans. 1t was reported
in Havana that the schooner had sailed
from Key West. Inquiries, however,
fail to show that any boat is missing or
unreported, except those engaged In ie-
Ultimate trade. Many sailed recently
for West Indian ports with fruit cargoes.
Puerto del Padre is harbor on the
northeast coast of Cuba, in latitude
OILY north, longitude 76:42 west. 1t
has a long and narrow entrance, and al
fords excellent anchorage. 1t is not Tar

THE EDICT SUSPENDED.
Catholic Knights of Pythias to Make
Their Easter.

AncIE LdstcTs
FALL RIVER, Mass, March 20.-At
the instance of H. A. dialogue, DIR. l..
P. Degrampre and DIR. P. Ecollett, OF
this city, and Judge Chouquette, OF
Providence, Monsignore Satolli, the
papal ALLOCATE, has issued decree
temporarily suspending the edict OF
Pope Leo, relating to Catholic member
ship in the Knights of Pythias. The
gentlemen returned from a visit to
Washington to-day, whether they had
been sent by Lafayette lodge OF this city
to ask hearing on the matter. They
represented that one lodge of Pythians
in this city consisted of 25O French
Canadians, and one lodge in Providence
included 100. They said so far as they
were able to observe. they could see no
conflict between Pythianism and Catho-
lie doctrines, and were very solicitous
for suspension of the edict, SO that
they might perform their Easter duty.
His grace seemed much surprised at the
facts presented, and was evidently much
impressed with the manner of the men.
He announced that he would suspend
the edict temporarily, and would issue
formal decree to that effect in few
days. He promised to bring the matter
to the attention of the Vatican at the
earliest possible moment, but would
hold out no hopes that his action would
be endorsed as permanent policy to be
followed.

New ORLEANS, March 20.-A gang of
negro laborers, who crossed the river
this morning to unload the steamer
Etolia, of Elder, Dempster & Company,
were met on their arrival by number
of white men and told that they would
not be allowed to work, and commanded
them to return to this side of the river
at once. Later a company from the
Screwmen's Association, of Jefferson,
came over and applied for work on the
steamer. After brief conference it
was agreed that the work on the Etolia
should be divided, the Jefferson men
taking one-h half and the negroes from
this CITY the other. No further trouble
is anticipated at that point.
The whole river front presented q
more decidedly lively appearance this
afternoon than at any time for the past
week. Cotton is arriving freely. and
the men are busy at work loading ships,
without molestation on the part of any
one.

THE CUBAN SITUATION
Condition of Affairs in the
Eastern Island.
MORE INTERNAL DISTURBANCES

Advices by Steamer Say There Are
Now Fully Six Thousand Insurgents
Un Ter Arms-Rabi and Masso IConf-
dent of Taking Santiago.
KEY WEST, Fla, March 19.-The first
clear and trustworthy statement of the
condition of affairs in the eastern end
of Cuba is brought by a passenger on
the steamer Mascotte. He said:
II have travelled throughout the
mountainous district constantly since
the trouble began, and matters are now
in a much worse condition than at the
beginning. The fighting was started in
desultory and scattered way, but the
forces gradually became crystalized, and
there are now fully 5000 insurgents
under arms. They are in dozen or
more attachments, but are giving the
government no end of trouble. In many
cases the Spanish troops have been
beaten back with heavy loss. The most
reproachable event of the war so far is
the pillaging and burning. The insur-
gents have gained confidence since the
beginning of the trouble, and matters in
the eastern district are in almost as bad
condition as during the war of 1868.
New leaders are sprnging up, and by
force of their intellect and ability they
have induced the insurgents not to hold
off longer for the arrival OF leaders. The
general opinion in Santiago is that if
the insurgents can hold out until sum-
mer the yellow fever will hell them
greatly. 1t is said that both Rabi and
Masso are confident of taking Santiago
before October. The Spanish troops are
guarding every road, and nobody is all
lowed to pass without giving the strict
est account of himself. 1t is as much as
a mans life is worth in Santiago to talk
in favor of the Cubans or to tell the
truth. Several persons have been shot
on account of this. Instances where
the Spaniards were defeated have been
published as government victories. Four
Spanish cruisers were in the harbor OF
Santiago one week ago, now there are
but two guarding the eastern coast, and
one on the southern"
The passenger also said the revolt
would kill business in Cuba for two
years. Money is already scarce, and
prices are high. A panic is feared. 1t
seems to be the general impression
among the Spaniards that the United
States feels bitterly toward the Spanish
government, and would like nothing
better than an excuse to seize the ISL
and, hence their hatred of the Ameri-
cans,

It's Leaders Now Selecting Site In the
South.
CHICAGO, March ia large number
of the Pullman strikers of last summer
with their families and others intend to
settle this spring, as colony, in the
South. A meeting was called to- day, at
which committee was appointed to
make prospecting trips to view the va
rious sites which are under consider
alton in Tennessee, Alabama and Louisi-
ana. 1t is said that of the Pullman
strikers, who, it is alleged, were black
listed, over 200 have been unable to OBJ
tain work elsewhere. Most of these will
be members of the colony. Many OF
those who now have employment in the
Pullman shops are anxious to cast their
lot with the colony. 1t will also have
many others both employed and unem-
ployed at the present time. All the
stores in the colony will be cooperative.
A member of the colony says:
'No positive franchises for supplying
its members with public necessities shall
be granted by the association. The
manufactures will be of varied char
acter, but will be those that can utilize
such mechanics and laborers as are
members of the colony. One OF the
manufacturing plants proposed will
build railroad and street-cars."

NEW REVENUE LAW.
Some Of the Main Provisions of the Act
Passed at Olympia.

Some OF the Main Provisions of the Act
Passed at Olympia.
OLYMPIA, WASH, March 19.-The new
revenue law passed at the last session
of the legislature, which has not yet re-
ceived executive approval, provides for
the exemption of hospitals, free public
libraries, orphanages, institutions for
the reformation of fallen women, homes
for the aged and infirm and the ground
upon which such institutions are situ-
ated, when they are supported in whole
or in part by charity and the proceeds
devoted to charitable purposes. The
law provides for the biennial assessment
OF real estate and the semi-annual COL
enially are made upon the odd num-
bered years, with reference to the value
OF the property, April l, preceding the
assessment. Personal property will be
assessed every year. Fruit trees, except
nursery stock, will not be assessed for
four years after taken from the nursery,
and maximum assessment of $500 is
liked on male animals kept for breeding
purposes. Real estate will be listed on
the assessment roll each year, and the
valuation on the evenly numbered years
will remain the same as eQualized by
the county board for the preceding year.
The assessment books will be placed in
the hands of the assessor on the first
Monday of February each year. When
land has been plated into lots or blocks
and where several lots in any block, or
where several blocks in any plat are
owned by any person, firm or corpora
ton, they may be grouped where prac-
ticable. The assessor is made clerk of
the county board of equalization, and in
counties of from the first to the ninth
class inclusive it is made the duty of
the assessor to extend on the tax rolls
the rate per cent necessary to raise suf-
ficient tax for state purposes, as deter
mined by the state board of equaliza-
ton.
Delinquent tax penalties are reduced
from to 2 per cent, and interest from
20 to IL per cent, which amends section
8, and all taxes are made payable on or
before May 81 of each year, after which
the penalty is attached; provided that
taxes may be paid semi-annually. One
half of the taxes may be paid on or be-
fore the 31st day of May, and the re-
mainder may be extended to November
80 following; but if the remaining half
is not paid on or before November 80
then the one-half is delinquent, and
penalty of 2 per cent attached, together
with interest at the rate of II per cent
per annum from May 81 preceding, until
paid. Taxes on real property are lien
from and including April of the year
they are levied until paid, but as be-
tween grantor and grantee the lien will
not attach until the first day of the sue
ceeding year. Taxes upon personal
property shall be a lien upon all per-
sonal property of the party assessed.
Applications for judgment and orders of
sale for taxes and assessment are ex-
tended to the third instead of the second
calendar year following delinquency.

THE POSTAL EMPLOYEES.
Combination Formed to Overturn Ger
tain Regulations.


WASHINGTON, March 20.-The post
Office department has information of the
formation of powerful combination of
postal employees, designed to bring pres
sure upon congress to overturn certain
regulations and rules of the department.
The employees have been encouraged by
success in attaching to the last postoffice
appropriation bill an amendment which
suspended an order of the department.
This order was issued last June and
directed that before May l, 1895, all
railway mail employees should remove to
some point along the line of route on
which they were employed. This was
unsatisfactory to most of the clerks, and
they obtained legislation overruling the
order. The reason for issuing the order
is explained at the department as neces-
sary because at the time the order was
issued there were about 1900 railway
mail employees in the service who did
not live on the lines where they worked.
When there was an accident or anything
else that requires emergency men, those
line where they worked escaped the ex-
ira duty, and it fell upon those living on
the route. Of the l 300 who were living
OFT the lines where they worked, about
800 have notified the department they
have or will remove their homes to the
point requested. Probably all of them
will so remove, notwithstanding the leg
islation overruling the order. The de-
partment is now informed that since
the failure of legislation in the last con-
gress increasing the pay of employees
combination has been formed to pass
this legislation and also to overturn the
rules of the department which are I'M
satisfactory to them. A high official of
the department said to-day:
"This combination includes some
thousands of employees in the railway
mail service, in the letter-carriers' SER
vice and in postoffices. They are all in
the classified service and protected from
removal. The effect of this combination
would be to create sentiment against
the civil service law, which protects
these employees

BROMAN'S INSURANCE.
The MarshfieId Man Had a Policy Ready
in Case of Accident.

The MarshfieId Man Had a Policy Ready
in Case of Accident.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 10. - Gustaf
Broman appeared in Judge Joachim's
court yesterday in answer to charge OF
perjury preferred against him by Mrs.
Constance Roy. The case was continued
till tomorrow. The detectives were cor
rect in their suspicion that Broman
would have some insurance policy on
his life before he gave out that he would
attempt the foolhardy trip from Coos
bay to this city in twelve-foot boat.
The detectives idea was that it on the
trip the boat would be found on some
beach bottom up, Broman's friends
would claim the insurance on the ground
that he had been drowned, and it would
have ultimately found it's way into Bro
mans pockets. Yesterday an agent OF
the United States Accident Insurance
Association called at police headquarters
inquiring about Broman. He said that
Broman in August last had taken out
what is known as a $1,000 and $lO,OOO
accident policy with his company. He
added:
"We have the power to cancel policy
at any time, and we will at once give
Broman notification of the fact that his
policy is Cancelled"
