are not coming in here and claiming
everything" said Manager Schmelz. I'VE
know from what we have read that the
Cincinnati club Is playing good ball. How
ever, we think we have chance. If we
can keep up our batting lick we will not
only bother Ewings men, but every team
that crosses our path. The Washington
team has been getting away the worst of
the umpiring. 1t will take some ball play
ing to whip us. I think we will give the
Reds whole lot of trouble. In Setback
we have one of the greatest youngsters
who have been brought out in years."

has he ordered any men from MissorQa,

again be sent for until everything Is
absolutely ready for him. His plans and
requirements are we'll known and will

worked hard and have yet much hard

ADVANTAGES OF THE TREATY.

Washington, June 24.-Consul Joinigan,
at Shanghai, has sent to the state de-
partment another report about the COM
mercial advantages Of the treaty between
China and Japan. Former treaties con-
rs ined no favored nation clause, while
the Neal treaty contains concessions hen
eficial to and expansive Of all Astatic
commerce. The concessions to. Japan have
given the world new marts' and avenues
of trade. Now 2S ports are open and the
countries who have favored the nation
clause in their treaties havs equal privi-
leges with Japan. Japan was under re-
strlctlons as to interior trade, which have
now been removed. Mr.. Joinigan says
the most important provision Of the trea-
ty is that which makes the country free
to carry on manufacturing industries
This virtually opens China to the new
industries, as machinery may be imported
under one clause of the treaty, Mr.. join
igan says: 'It may be said that China
is the great undeveloped country Of the
world, and that new developments attend
ed with profit await well-directed enter
1rises in this empire"

OREGON COPPER.
The Richest Deposits in the World Exist
In Josephine County.

Grants Pass Observer.
About q year ago Capt. A. M. Brown
accidentally learned that some large cop
per deposits existed In Josephine county.
and after a time learned their location.
Since that time he has been quietly work
ing up his proposition until now 1t has
developed into more than he had ever
hoped for.
The mine is located about thirty miles
south of Gnlnt's Pass, at the mouth Of
Fillls creek, on the west bank OF the
Illinois river, and is about nine miles
from tine public wagon road. The dis
tance is quite rough and hard TO ira
verse, but d road Is NOW being built which
will change matters of transport to q
considerable extent.
Several months ago Captain Brown
bonded eighteen copper claims on the
creek, and later on Induced Capt. Geo.
f. Wheeler to come out from Baltimore
to see the mines. Mr.. Wheeler brought
an expert along, and they soon satisfied
themselves that they had struck tine rich
est copper mines in existence. Before
leaving Mr.. W. purchased an interest in
the claims and on returning TO Baltimore
organized the Siskiyou Mining company
and sent out the necessary capital for
Captain Brown TO commence develop-
ment work and put in the machinery
necessary for test.
They are now opening the mine In two
places, by tunneling. and geltting out very
rich ore, which runs from 20 to l5 per
cent pure copper. This Is flve times
richer than any other known copper
mine, and 90 per cent richer than Tho
ceLebnlted Lake Superior mines. Not only
THAT, but 1t contains SO per ton in gold
and is free from base ingredients. This
has been ascertained from tests made on
upwards of 1000 pounds of ore which
have been shipped to st. Louis and Balti-
more

gives him the assurance that, In the
advent of "a Salisbury ministry, 1t will
be in the interest of bi-metallism, as
Lord Salisbury, Balfour, aud others, are
more favorable than Rosebery and his
associates were for such conference.
McCreary said he was more hopeful Low
for international action that would settle

designer gives the object dts finishing
