The Commission Reported to be Best
for the Purpose.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 6.-The steam
ship Homer arrived from Unalaska TODAY.
having on board the 10000 sealslzins AL

American Commercial company for the
present season.
Among the passengers was Mr.. ]. STAN

American Commercial company and for
merly private secretary to the late Pres
ident James A Garfield, whose son-in-
law he is.
Mr.. Brown, in an interview with the
United Associated Presses tonight, said:

Americans. Canadians and British. under
the leadership of President Jordan of
Stanford university, arrived at the Priby-
lofts on July 8. 1t is the finest body of
men that could have possibly been gath
cred together for such scientific investi-
cation, with the great commercial and
international questions attached to it.
The work of the commission has been
most thorough and the results attained
are likely TO be the most satisfactory of
any work thus far done in the way Of
life and to make recommendations or
suggest changes in the protective regu-
latOns now in force.
The commission will not cease its in

September or the first of October, when
the dead pups resulting from the shoot
ing of the mothers at sea will have been
counted.

BRESLAU, Sept 6.-The festivities
i'm connection with the visit of the car
and czarina were continued today, but
aSm was not as demonstrative as it
was yesterday. Emperor William and
Empress Augusta Victoria attended a
luncheon given today by their imperial
majeslties of Russia TWenty-fOur COW
erS were laid. The luncheon was given
in the grand reception room of the
new house of the Silician landtag Az
Ter the luncheon the car and Cham
celloT Won Hohenlohe were closeted
together for an hour. 1t is NOT posi-
lively known what matters were dis
cussed. but there is a strong belief that
the action to be taken by Russia and
Germany in connection with the Turk
ish question was considered at length.
In the evening a. gaia performance
was given at the Stadt theater. The
play given was the second part of the
''Milataer F'ronlm," and it was very
amusing. Emperor William shook with
laughter, and even the car smiled at
the absurdities of some of the posi-
tons.
This evening a reporter of the Uni
ted Associated Presses had a. CONVEX
sahion with ONE Of Chancellor Won Ho-
nenloneS AIDES, VINO said the chan
cellor was exceedingly we'll pleased
with the result of his audience with
the ear. He added that an absolute
entente cordiale had been effected, and
that this would soon be shown by the
action that will be taken by Russia
and Germany ON the eastern question
AS further evidence of the good I'M
Outstanding that has been established
between the car and Emperor Will
lam, it is stated that the former has
promised that when he returns from
Darmstadt he will visit Emperor Will
lam ait Potsdam.

Talking of miners and prospectors, a.
mining engineer, who claims to have
studied the difference between a pros
pector and a miner, defines them as
follows: "A prospector watches every
piece of float and studies its sources,
knowing that it never came up hill, and
he sees things which no one else would
ever notice to tell which way the
straws are pointed. The minuteness Of
his direction is marvellous. On the
other hand, the miner sees nothing ON
the surface nor in the formation of the
country, and could not even select a.
nice rich cropping if he should stumble
upon it, but when he gets inside OF a
tunnel ne can take out the best ore in
the shortest time. His instinct serves
him we'll, but he sees nothing until he
gets underground. A good prospector
is seldom a good miner and vice versa
The two are opposite and distinct in
their lines of action. "-Exchang

Escape.
PITTSBURG, Sept. 6.-Ida Marsh,
the 16-year-old daughter of William
Marsh, a photographer of Homestead
awoke about o'clock this morning,
feeling a hand clutching at her throat
She opened her eyes and saw a negro
standing over her. He told her that
if she made an cutlery he would knock
her brains out; but she managed to
shake off the hand on her throat and
scream. Her father, who was sleeping
in the next room, went to her assist
ance with a revolver. The intruder
leaped from the second story window
His foot caught on an electric wire
and he fell fleadlong to the ground.
Both his arms were broken, his right
leg Injured, his head and face cut, and
he is now in the county jail, along
with three others charged with being
accomplices.. A fifth man escaped.
The leader was Isaac Mills, and the
others were James Johnston, a Home

an unknown colored man. The arrests
were made on information furnished
by a. colored boy who slept in an adj
jacent house, from which an entrance
to the Marsh house was effected.

Mention was made yesterday in these
columns that Hon. Allen G. Campbell
had returned from his southern visit,
and it was stated that during his alb
sence he had made promising gold dis
coveries IN new district.
After leaving Milford, Mr.. Campbell
went as far south as the State Line
district, and after a short stay there
went over TO his ranch in Lincoln coun-
ty, Nevada. from which place he start
ed on q prospecting expedition into the
mountains twelve miles east.
For a number Of years Mr.. Campbell,
in going from his ranch 10 Milford has
picked up float along the roadside,
which, when assayed, never carried
gold values of less than $3.50 to the
ton, and often as high as $40; and he
mas often asked the ranchmen Of Eagle
valley if there was any gold in the
mountains, the answer invariably be-
ing in the negative.
On this prospect trip, however, Mr..
Campbell found what he considers as
the making of a good gold camp, and
although he had but little time in
which to prospect, the surface indica-
fifteen locations which We're filed for
record with the recorder of Eagle min
ing district
a The lodges in this practically uneX-
plored region, according to Mr.. Camp
bell, are very wide and the groupings
strong, the vein apparently being a
true fissure in a porphyretic formation.
and while the entire ledge is not rich
in mineral, there are sfreaks and
punches in the vein in which there is
free gold, and which horns well
This new camp is about eight or ten
miles south and a short distance west
from the State Line district, which
places it just over the line in Nevada;
and as the lodges discovered tend to
the north and south, there is every rea-
SON to believe that they are a continna-
fion of the gold ore zones on which the
State Line discoveries are located: and
Mr.. Campbell, after visiting State Line,
believed that this was the case before
starting out on his prospecting trip into
the heretofore UNEMPLOYED region where
he made the locations above mem
TONED; and he states that the lodges
in the new camp are much larger than
those of the State Line district, and he
is so we'll pleased over the showing that
he will at once send some men down TO
his new discoveries and demonstrate,
by development. the value of his find;
and he is sanguine Of good results, as
the ore is or1lposed of spar and quartz
that has a 5ood, live appearance.
Mr.. Campbell was very fayorabiy i'm
pressed with the State Line district.
and is of the opinion that 1T will de-
velop into a rich and productive camp
So far as known. there is only one
other man interested in the new camp
found by MIR. Campbell. and this is a
rl7ospector named TrouTman, who Sc
cured good locations there. Mr. Trout
man left the new district some time be-
fore Mr.. Campbell took his departure
and has been in The city several days.
Since the discovery of State Line dis
trict, a rich gold find has been made
ten miles north Of that camp, and from
this, in connection with the discovery
reported by Mr.. Campbell, ii would
seem as If the gold zone of that region
could be traced for a distance of TWEEN
ty miles.

MINES AT GRANITE, OREGON.
4 Big Salt Lake Syndicate Working
Piaeer DiggingN.

Placer Dlgg1EgE
The town of Granite, nestled in a
little cove at the base of Cabel and
Greenhorn mountains, says the Baker
City Democrat, is without doubt the
centre of one Of the richest and mex
haustible gold fields in America. Pla-
Ger mining from 1862 to the present
time has been the chief industry, but
during this time quartz development
has been going on and with grand re-
suits. Here is situated the well known
La Bellevue mine with its 5000 feet of
development work, the Red Boy, a
steady producer, the Surprise and Or
nament mines, with a three foot vein
of grey copper ore that will go $500 to
the ton, the hex, with ore so rich in
gold that the four owners, James Fain,
Ed. Mahan, Andy Dewer and Joseph
Mikel, can safely estimate their wealth
at $4,000 each from the ore now sacked
and ready for shipment to the reduc-
ton works, to say nothing of a three
foot vein of ore in the face of the tun-
mel that will go $500 to the ton. and
many other properties too numerous to
mention that show such evidences of
wealth as to guarantee increased pros
perity and at a rapid rate from this
time on.
At this point is the basis of opera
tons of the Salt Lake syndicate, COM
posed of Apostle Heber J. Grant and
other heads of the great Mormon
church. The interests of the syndicate
are under the management of Mr.. B.

great outlay of money is being made

TOO MUCH PoLInaCs.

sTROMsBURG, Neb., Sept. 6.-Too
much politics was the cause of a dis
graceful brawl which provoked a small
riot last night. The city marshal ar
rested a. young man who was engaged
in a street argument, when two citi-
zens interferred. In a moment there
was a fight and twenty persons en-
gagged in it. The street was blocked
with an angry mob and the blood
flowed freely, many of the partici-
pants being injured. A score or more
of arrests were made, among them
being leading men. Part of the Of
tenders pleaded guilty and paid fines,
while others took continuances. Much
bad blood has been engendered and
more arrests will be made tomorrow.

the John Day river and with the build

the operation of the mines there is an
activity that bespeaks confidence and
good times The syndicate employs
about 100 men and will continue to do

Apostle Grant and others of the syndi-
cate visited Granite and the mines and
were so well pleased with their invest
ment that they agreed upon enlarged
operations at once.

Water Power from Mountain
Streams.


Among miners and others in the west
there is a growing tendency TO utilize
as motive power small streams which
have hitherto been considered made
Quate as sources of power. We are be-
ginning to realize that head counts as
well as volume, and that a little stream
with several hundred feet head may be
as valuable a source of power as a
more imposing fall of much lower head.
Then another consideration that
should be taken into account is the fact
that the little stream needs no eXpen-
sive dean or headworks to confine it,
but cam be tapped and guided at COM
paratively small expense, and instead
Of being allowed to fail freely. it can
be led in a pipe, which carefully nurses
it all, and thus can be conveyed quite
a distance down the mountain, ac-
cumulating power as it descendS until

But short time since the writer
visited a plant that was being installed
5000 feet up in the mountains. Rather
than incur the expense of transporting
wrought iron pipes TO such distance,
a small pair of bending rolls We're pur-
chased, and these, with a portable
forge, constituted the entire equip
ment, and three men were employed
turning out length after length OF riv-
eted pipe right on the spot where g. was
to be used. The pipeline was being
put in about 500 feet up the canyon to
bring down some 200-horse power to
where III was to be used to DropeI a
wheel. The operation seemed somewhat
primitive at first sight, but it was ef-
fective, and the expense certainly was
a minimum. There are hundreds of
streams throughout the west that can

PARK RECORD NOTES.
Interesting Review of the History
OF the Old HayyI<eye

Interesting Review of the History
OF the Old Hayvkeye.
The fact that the old Hawkeye pro
perty has been leased and bonded, has
revived many stories among old timers
concerning its early history, and there
is a firm belief on the part of a large
number that it is destined to be one of
Park City's richest and heaviest pro-
ducers. 1t is said that the shot which
opened the flood gates and drowned
the miners out, also uncovered a rich
vein OF ore, large specimen of which,
1t is asserted, was brought to the sur
lace by one of the men chased out.
Tfe water came in in such volume that
nothing could be done with it without
costly pumping machinery, and even
then II was doubtful whether the flow
could be handled by pumping. and as
the company was hard pressed for
funds the properly was abandoned and
has been idle ever since. The shaft
nlled With water, the machinery was
taken away and the mine buildings
went to rack and ruin. When the On
tarlo drain tunnel was run it tapped
the water course in the Hawkeye and
the mine is now dry hence can be
easily worked. The process Of cleaning
out the shaft and putting the mine in
shape will be watched with great in
terest by d large number of people, all
OF whom are certain that good ore will
be found as soon as the point is
reached where the water was en-
countered, and the new company has
the best wishes Of the entire camp for
rich results
