MINING BENEATH THE SEA-
First shipment Soon to he naoe
From Guemes Island.

Special Dispatch to the Post-lntelligencer.
ANACORTES May 1.-THE Big -FOUR
mine. on Guemes island, two miles from
this city, promises TO soon come 10 the
front as shipper of ore. About LOO tons
of concentrating ore is on the dump. ana
miners are now working In a body OF
smelling ore. 1t is expected that seventy
five tons viii be shipped TO the smelter the
latter part of this month.
The Big Four property was discovered
last summer, the cropping being below
high tide. Two tons of ore was taken out
between tides and shipped TO the smeiter.
The returns were evidently satisfactory,
for the owners Immediately began active
operations and have continued work al
most uninterruptedly up TO the present.
night and day shift is now being worked.
The development work consists OF shafts
and tunnels aggregating about $50 feet
The company first went up on the snore
and sunk a fifty-two foot shaft on %
yper cent incline. which carried them out
under tidewater TO the ledge. They then
ran along the footwall and also crosscut
the ledge which was eighteen feet thick
The work now being done Is ON the hang
ing wall. where the highest grade ore IS
found. 1t is predicted that the ore now
being mined will run $26 to the ton.

DECENTRALIZATION LIKELY.
Railroads May Not Maintain the
Honor" AGreement-Lumbe
Rates Sbaky.

The most encouraging information has
been sent broadcast from Chicago relative
10 the newly organized bureaus and asso-
Citations of the freight and passenger de-
partments of the various roads that held
membership in the older associations, dis
solved by supreme court ruling.
Since the associations went out of exist
ence there has been a heroic effort to
bring about organizations that will MAIN
tain rates, the prime object of the organi-
cations that have now passed into railroad
history. AT first II appeared an easy thing
TO get the roads TO sign but when 1t came
10 the transcontinental lines the Canadian
Pacific at first fiirted with the proposition
and then fatty refused to go In. The
Great Northern and Northern Pacific also
declined to partake of the benefits of assoc
citation unless the Canadian would join.
And that is wherd the matter is at pres
ent. The big roads are out. and there is
little likelihood that any will go In unless
all agree, SO that competition may be met.
An Associated Press dispatch says:
THE executive committee of the West
ern Passenger Association is making des-
perate efforts TO get all the lines possible
as members of the organization The COM
mittee met again today and had a confer
ence with representatives of the Wiscon-
sin Central. Minneapolis & Omaha and the
Great Western, urging them TO become
members of the association. The roads de-
clined and gave varying reasons for their
refusal. One road would not join until
the others had become members, and the
others which were represented by their
general passenger agents. said they had
not the power to commit their roads TO a
membership. The executive officers of the
Western roads are not any too confident
that their honor agreement to maintain
rates in the territory of the Western Pas
senger Association Is going 10 have the
effect that was intended. Already there
has crcpt into the rate sheets some little
decentralization in rates. and no effort has
been made 10 stop it, Lumber rates in the
Northwest have been in n shaky condition
for several weeks, and nothing has been
done 10 stiffen them and none of the in
any action in the matter"

condisIonaiiy. James II. Boyce has
agreed to resign the Office OF county COM
missioner. He may step down and out
today. Had the selection OF his success
or been definitely decided upon he would
have done SO yesterday.
Back OF this affair. the commencement
OF which will no doubt carry great sur
prise and chagrin into the ranks OF the
fusion forces, is a not embarrassing story.
II appears that one OF the superior court
Judges some time ago directed the board
OF commissioners to audit all lawful
ciaims outstanding for road work per-
formed within the district OF which Boyce
was. prior TO his election az commission

Nickerson and Ryan. were ready TO act

Not 40 Mr.. Boyce. For reasons perhaps
best known 10 himself. he demurred and
delayed But seeing that he could not
longer postpone action. Boyce. so the story
goes, took the claims which he had APP

seems, had likewise been approved by the
old board Of county commissioners. and In

FINDS PRICES TOO HIGH.
Millionaire Brown Severely Crfti-
cfses the Policy of PROJECTORS.

r. E. Brown who has achieved so much
distinction by his successful mining ope-
rations in South Africa. and p. A OFar-
reli, the well known newspaper man of
Spokane. returned yesterday from Vic
toria, and leave today for Spokane,
whence Mr.. Brown goes on to London.
These gentlemen. together with Dennis
Ryan. of st. Paul, and John NJ. Burke
of Rossand, have been negotiating for
the purchase of mining property at Sill
verton. and Mr.. Brown was asked by a
Post-Intelligencer representative last
night:
az understand that you came here for
the purpose of closing the deal on the
Bonanza Queen group at Silverton."
Virtually the deal has been closed.
That is to say. Mr.. Stephens. acting for
myself Mr.. Ryan. Mr. Burke. Mr.. OFar-
rell and others, had bonds executed some
time ago. These bonds. however did not
cover the whole of the property. and il
is unlikely that terms satisfactory To the
owners not originally included and to my
self will be arrived at"
Can you tell me the nature OF the dif-
fcuity in the way?"
THAT is private matter"
What is your impression of the Campo
''Good. Those OF my stan who have
made careful examination of the district
have reported favorably and my opinion
is in Endorsement of theirs. so far as in
trinsic merit is concerned; but In view OF
the undeveloped state of the country.
considered the current demanded prices
to be absurdly high"
Has not a sufficient showing been made
by development to, warrant good prices
for mining property?
=" Sufficient showing and good prices
are very elastic expressions. What / might
consider sufficient showing TO warrant
a price of $40 900 would in all probability
induce an owner TO appraise his holding at
$50. 600 Personal equation enters into all
harterings, but find greater dispropor-
ton between buyer and seller I'm this To-
cality than elsewhere and therefore JUS
tify myself to myself in standing aloof
from operating in this section at this
time"
What do you think of the Cascade
mountains as a mining country. and what
conditions are needed 10 promote its de-
veopment?"
II think well of the section. But I do
not think that the conversion of prospects
into million dollar companies is. by the
legeTdermain of manufacturing corpora
tons, going TO create new mines or new
wealth. The prospector must do SOME
thing more than assessment work ON his
locations and If he Is unable to do this
he must partition his holdings upon an
equitable basis with men of means who
are willing TO gamble with him upon what
lies hidden In the ground.
Then you don't find prospectors in this
section willing 70 join hands with capital
ISIS on th1s basis?,
Precisely so. Your question strikes the
keynote of present conditions"
