RICH ORE IN OREGON.
The Discovery Of the Great Northern
 Claim a Remarkable One.

Up in Grant county, Ore, not lar from Baker City, a gold mine has re- centlv been uncovered that promises to be one of the richest producers or the yellow metal ever found in the west, and its discovery is likely to make people who have the Klondyke fever waver a little in their determl- nation, as there is no doubt that as big things in the mineral line are to be found near at home as exist ln the frozen wilds of Alaska
 The Democrat of Baker Clty, Tn speaking of the Bonanza almost at US very doors, says:
 The fondest dreams of its dlscoV- erer are being realized in the showing made in the Great Northern mine on the mountain near town, and from the 'tpay streak" the big nuggets are taking the place once held exclusively by the wire gold, says the Canyon City News.
 Every day that the men work in the cut, enormous returns reward thelf labors. Thursday of last week two men worked from 9:3U In the morning until 2:3O in the afternoon, and the cleanup for that day was S5lS:3l Friday the men were busy widening the cut, but stopped long enough to wash two pans in order to show a party of visitors how the thing was done. Two pans yielded S219.7S. Sat urday's work consisted of the finding of one nugget worth $101.77, specimens aggregating s1O9.S0, and the removal of a couple of four sacks of dirt hi iah day and Tuesday they were engaged with other duties about the camp melting snow for new supply of Wa ter being one feature of their work. Yesterday morning they again com menced to rob mother earth of what was hers by right of possession. The News had report from there at noon. Up to that time the boys had taken out and weighed nugget worth $792 and fine gold that had not been weighed, amounting to probably S100 The monster nugget had to be broken up in order to be weighed in the gold scales, and was divided into the fol- lowing sized chunks: S371.50, Sl30 S22, $9775 and S70.75. The nuggets are growing larger and the seam wid- ening as the depth is attained.

pleasant, as the road lies through a great desert, but the country immedi- ately surrounding the mines is said to be good grazing land. The district is $500 feet above the sea level, and the winters are very severe, but it is estimated that despite that fact seven full months of working time can be secured Chicago Times-Herald.

Details of Evacuation of Porto Rico
Settled.
WAITING FOR VESSELS
SPANIARDS TO EMBARK WHEN
TRANSPORTS ARRIVE.
Have Commenced to Withdraw Their
Troops From Outlying Points
Reign of Lawlessness In Some
Portions of the Island-Many
Massachusetts Soldiers Sick.

San Juan de Porto Rico, Sept. 10
The details of the evacuation Of the
island were practically completed at a
meeting of the commission held today,
and all now depends upon when the
Madrid government shall place trans
ports at the disposal of Captain Gen
eral Macias for the embarkatiOn of the
troops. Failure to send transports will
ernbarrass the Spanish commissioners,
but the American commissioners will
probably not set an absolute time limit
for the evacuation without instructions
from Washington.
The Soaniards do not desire to con-
centrate all their troops here, for fear
of endangering their health, until they
are informed when the transports will
arrive.
In addition to Lares, Aguinaldo and
San Sebastian, the Spanish will evac-
uate the island of Vieques on Mon
day.
After the details of the evacuation
have been completed, the movable
property and military equipments
which Spaniards may properly remove,
if they desire to do so, will be inven-
toried separately. The commission may
arrange to purchase such equipment as
it desires to retain. This will include
field guns and a quantity of Cardiff
coal, which was shipped here for Adj
miral Cervera's fleet.
Two hundred and fifty members of
the Fifth Massachusetts regiment are
sick, and the men are anxious to re-
turn to their homes

INSURANCE FEES.

Commissioners Discuss a Proposition
Anent Assessment Companies.
Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 16.-Ten pa
pers were on the insurance commits
sioners' programme today, but owing
to the large amount of business which
must be dispatched today, only two
were read. The committee on lesisla-
ton was requested to look after the
laws regarding the regulation OF as
sessments and fraternal organizations,
and the committee on laws and reso-
lutions made a report, calling upon
assessment associations to pay addl-
tional fees in certain cases. The report
recommends the adoption of such laws
as will carry out this idea relative TO
assessment companies. The resolution
called out a lively discussion as TO the
wisdom of recommending such leglsla-
ton. Objection was made to its adop-
ton by Whiting of Maine, who felt
that the association was tying up; that
if such a step were taken as TO one
class of companies, it should be taken
as to others. Upon Mr.. Writings mo-
ton the questions was laid over until
the next convention.

ing Against Aguinaldo.
New York, Sept. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says: The in
surgents changed their plans last night
and instead of evacuating all the sub
urbs of the city, as General Otis or
dered, they moved from Erruita to
Santana, where they appear to be con-
centrating in strong force. 1t is re-
ported, although it has not been con-
firmed, that Aguinaldo has ordered that
this place he beld at any cost. 1t is
more likely a move on the part of Pho
Pillar to embarrass the Dictator The
former rebel chief. Isabelle Artacho,
who was condemned to death by
Aguinaldo for treachery in May and
was reprieved and escaped, is leading
5000 men against Aguinaldo.
Artacho is backed by the priests A
Jesuit priest has been shot for per-
suading rebels to desert Aguinaldo's
cause
AT the meeting of rebel leaders in
Malolos, the majority will vote for au-
tonomy under American protection.
Coasting steamers are trading with
the provinces under Spanish rule
Aguinaldo demands 80 per cent of
freight receipts of steamers trading
with the rebel provinces. All Span
iards in the northern province are now
prisoners. The rebels seized stocks and
cash in the tobacco estates belonging
to the Compania Tabacelera, in Caga-
yam province, and also those of Copran,
in Camarines province. The losses are
enormous. The rebel steamer Bulusan
has been sunk by a Spanish gunboat at
Marbate
Aguinaldo denies the shipment of
arms from japan. The arms were prob
ably shipped by the priests for Artacho.

LINSEED OIL RECEIvERSHIP.
Officers Accused of "Gross and Frau
dulent Mismanagement.n

Z
dulent Mismanagement."
Chicago. Sept 16.-Application for a
receiver for the National Linseed oil
company was; made in the United
States circuit court late today. The bill
was filed by Meyer Bernhard, who
states that he is the owner of % shares
OF the stock of the corporation. Bern
hard sets up the claim that the Ma
tional Linseed Oil company has become
thoroughly discredited, chiefly through
the operation of its officers and di-
rectors, and so embarrassed financially
that it is no longer able to prosecute
its business effectively and at a profit,
or TO carry out the objects for which
it was incorporated.
The court is asked to appoint re-
ceiver and that the affairs of the cor
poratiOn be liquidated and settled. The
bill of complaint reviews the history of
the company from the time of it's
organization in 1887, under the name of
the Enterprise Storage & Transit
company, up to the present time. The
bill sets forth that by reason of gross
and fraudulent mismanagement on the
part of its officers and directors and the
misappropriation by them of it's money,
revenue and income, the company has
been paralyZed in its operations and
been unable to meet its financial en-
gagements. 1t is also declared that the
officers and directors of the company
have been utterly unmindful of their
duties and obligation as such, and in
violation of the trust imposed in them
and contrary to law have, in the name
and in behalf of the company, engaged
in speculative ventures in which large
sums were lost.

BOTKIN POISONING CASE.

render the Prisoner.
San Francisco, Sept. 1.-THE pro-
ceedings in the Botkin extradition case
were resumed before Governor Budd
today. The question of the status of
the extradition papers when it came to
a vital question of law was first re-
sumed, the attorneys on both sides be-
ing laden with additional evidence and
extracts from court decisions to sup
port their respective cases.
Governor Budd rather Indignantly
questioned the right of the Delaware
authorities to send such papers to this
state when the laws of Delaware re-
quire absolute proof of the guilt of an
accused person before that state would
permit of extradition by another state.
He made the positive declaration that
he would not grant eXtradition upon
the showing made by the Delaware
authorities unless the papers in the
case were absolutely perfect, which
property he denied were possessed by
the papers now before him.
Attorney Wheeler, for the defense,
began a long dissertation On the defini-
ton of the word fugitive" as applied
IL the law He argued that Mrs. Bot
kin was not fugitive from the state
of Delaware, for the reason that she
had never been in that state, and be-
cause the poisoned candies had been
sent from California was no reason
why his client should be taken to Della
ware for trial, even though the sequel
of the crime had taken place in that
state. The hearing will be continued.

REIGN OF LAWLFSSNESS.
Plantations Burned and Planters
Murdered By Brigands.

Murdered By Br1gands.
San Juan de Porto Rico, Sept. TO-
More outrages are reported in the
neighborhood of Utuado. Plantations
have been burned and two Spanish
planters were killed. These outrages
were attributed to the lower classes of
the natives, actuated by a spirit of re-
venge, and a lawless gang of brigands
which has been operating near Ciale.
The Spanish planters fear for their
lives and are extremely anxious that
the Americans should obtain control in
order to afford them protection, as
the United States is powerless now to
preserve order within Spanish lines.
On petition of practically all the res
idents of Utuado, General Henry has
appointed Senior Henri Martinez gov
ernor of the city. Utuado is the first
town in the island to possess officers
chosen by the popular will.
The steamer Juan FORCES arrived
here from Barcelona with provisions
for the Spanish troops, but as there is
a supply for two months still here, the
steamer proceeded for Havana, where
she will discharge.
