HAWAIIAN RECIPROCITY.
Chamber of Commerce Committee
Favors II.

The meeting OF the committee on state
and national affairs of the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday afternoon developed
several new ideas on the subject of the
continuation OF the reciprocity treaty
with the Hawaiian islands. The way
i'm which c. l.. Webb presented the matter
to the board OF trustees at its last meet
ing led 10 the belief that his views would
he adopted and that the representatives
IN cor gress from this state would be
urged TO vote against its renewal The
discussion Yesterday was participated in
nv Mr. Webb. Gen Meem. Mr.. Haynes ard
Others. and the result was the exact re-
verse OF what was expected. the commit
tee recommending to the board OF trus-
tees that the reciprocity treaty be renew
ed at its termination
The matter under discussion brought
out several features regarding the beet
sugar industry in connection with the
commercial relations of the United States
and tho Hawaiian republic. Mr.. Prosch's
resolution on the subject Of annexation
OF the Islands was returned 10 the board
az being n matter Of political rather than
OF commercial significance.
Concerning the appointment OF tea
inspector. the committee refused TO en-
dorse any person for the position. but
recommended that such an Office be es-
tahiished on Puget sound.
The matter of the Seattle Chinese con.
suiate was passed for a week all OF the
necessary steps In that direction having
been taken.

trayersed the hills and canyons west OF
Hood canal in the early COS and found EVIL
dence that there was minerai-bearing rock
there. hut many Of the methods now in use
for reducing low grade ores had not then
been discovered. and IL was thought that
the ores of that region were not OF SUI
ficient richness to pay for working. The
same class of ore is now making the Ross
land, b. c.. country world known
In June of 1867 J. n. Baker. now an old
pioneer, well known all over Western
Washington. and having his home IN Mon
tesano, accompanied A. w. Pritchard on
n prospecting trip into the Olympics. They
started in at the mouth OF the Lflliwaup.
working westward and northward through
what was at that time an unknown and
painless wilderness. They spent about six
weeks on the trip. operating principally in
the foothills of what is known as Mount
Elinor, going over and working some on
the Mount Steel side of the divide be-
tween that mountain and Mount Eiinor.
They found indications OF mineral all
fhroug.. that section. and IN the region
where Lieut.. ONeil found such strong in
dications of copper that he named his
camp Cooper Camp" they discovered
rock very rich in copper. All through that
section they found mineral-bearing float
which bore all the now well-known char
acteristics of peacock ore" but it was
on the divide between the two mountains
previously spoken of that the best pros
poets were Contemporaries which would
at the present day be eagerly followed up.
One day. while Pritchard was laid up
with a lame foot, Baker decided TO follow
up some float which he had found and dis
cover its source. If he could. He did so.
and found the ledge from which it came
at the head of deep ravine or canyon.
The ledge. as near as he could estimate.
was about fifteen feet in depth and eight
feet wide A landslide had uncovered it
so that 1t could be distinctly seen. He
took some of the best specimens back to
camp. and Pritchard made an assay and
pronounced them quite rich in copper.
iron. gold and lead. but said that there
was no method known by which 1t could
be successfully treated.
Since the discovery of the Rossiand
mines Mr.. Baker has carefully studied the
characteristics of the ores of that region.
and has had the opportunity to examine
some of the specimens. and says that they
are identical with those of the Olympic
outcroppings, iron capped. and showing
strongly the copper and iron carried.
1t should be stated that Pritchard was
an old and experienced miner and pros
pector. having operated in both the Carl
boo and California mines. and that Baker
has since had considerable experience in
mining matters.

SNOHOMIsH COUNTY MINES.
Strike in the ArIington-''Dick'
Sperry'x Good Luck.

Special Dispatch to.the Post-Intelligencer.
EVERETT. May IA rich strike is re-
ported in the Arlington mine one of the
group owned by the Martin Creek Gold
& Copper Mining Company. 1t is pro-
nounced chalco-pyrite OF copper and ar
senical iron. This was found in the
lower tunnel, which is in eighty feet and
the whole face of the tunnel is said to be
all ore.
A. d. Sperry. one of the veteran miners
of the Silverton district, is back from the
East, where he was fortunate In dispos-
ing of some OF his mining properties at
a good figure Dick is a typical pros
pector and miner. and has had unbound
ed faith in the richness OF the mines
about Silverton. from the start. Less than
four Yeas ago he could hardly interest
people sufficiently to get a grub stake.
Now he is on his feet and the mines OF
SiNerton and Snohomish county gener-
ally are among the leading propositions
in the eye of the mining public. Sperry's
case is a good illustration OF the strong
faith in the mining affairs OF this sec
ton.
The opening week OF May finds the sea-
son just thirty days earlier than 1t has
been for three years past. and as con-
sequence miners are going into the hills
in all directions. Silverton and vicinity
are especially active.

SEATTLE In 1899.
Local Epworth Leaguers Will Try to
Get the International COnven-
ton Here That Year.

A general meeting of the Epworth
Leagues OF Seattle was held at the First
NJ. f. church last night to see what could
be done about securing the International
Convention OF the Epworth League for
Seattle In 1899 This convention meets BIZ
ennially and is attended by delegates from
all over the world. 1t is attended by
thousands of people interested in re-
ligious work among young people. The
next convention will be held in Toronto in
July. Two other meetings have already
been held in the East and none in the
West. so that Seattle stands very GOOD
show OF securing this great gathering. Be
Ing an International affair. Seattle would
be convenient for the leagues of China
and Japan. Delegates to this convention
pay their own expenses. IT would bring
thousands OF visitors to Seattle
The foregoing points were brought out
during the preliminary discussion last
night. As a result of the deliberations
general executive committee was APP
pointed consisting of T.. J.. Blaine. Rev.
E. NJ Randall. Rev. A. s. Gregg. Seth
Morford and Sidney Baker. This COM
mittee will meet at First church Monday

condition, says the Mining Herald.
Speaking on this subject an exchange
says that dirt road badly made In the
first place, and kept up badly-or not OF
all-is always an expensive affair TO those
who are obliged TO use II. and is suffered
TO exist generally because very few peo-
pie realize how much money good road
would save for them. The movement
for better roads has had good effects In
many parts OF the country and its furtner
extension is very desirable. OF course,
there are districts which must suffer on
account of their location, which makes
road building very costly. or because their
traffic is too small to warrant the IN
curing of much expense: but there are
many where united effort could Sc
cure a greater Improvement In this re-
spcct. In many mining districts also road
material is plentiful and the cost or
making good highways would not he
great. The addition of 500 pounds TO the
average load of team may not seem
very important by itself. but II may make
a very considerable difference in expense
In the course of a year. We have in mind
a case where the outlay of 5000 on a
road BY the owners of a quarry was re-
paid to them in less than two years by
the saving in expenses: and a member
of the firn-who was at first opposed to
the expenditure-said afterwards that no
one payment by the firm brought in a
n,ore direct or better return than the 500
or 5000 year it cost to keep the road IN
good condition. Not every mining district
can have railroad but nearly every
one can have a decent road IL 1t goes TO
work with will.
