Strike In the E. & E.

Democrat, Baker City, Ore)
One of the most important events in
mining in the Cracker Creek district
that has occurred for some time was the
strike made few days ago in the e. &
E. mines.
From a reliable source the Democrat
learns that on the 3OO-foot level of the
Excelsior in the north drift vein of
one and one-half feet of ore gives re-
turns by assay of $312 to the ton. The
full width of the ledge in the drift is
seven feet
In the Excelsior No. tunnel, also a
five-foot ledge has been uncovered in a
drift that assays $50 to the ton.
From all accounts the company oper-
ating the E. & e. mines of which Mr..
Dennis Searles is manager and Colonel
Isaac Trumbo of Salt Lake and brothers
of San Francisco are directors, is well
satisfied with the showing being made
and the extensive plans agreed upon
for the future. chief OF which is deep
sinking, will be carried out as fast as
capital and labor can do it.

The Great Overland.

It has been stated a number of times,
says the Mercur Mercury. that the
Overland is one Of the greatest mines
in the camp, but to appreciate the force
of this remark it is necessary to go
through the workings. After wander
ing through upwards of 1000 feet of
drifts and noting that there is no APP
parent limit to the ore body, and then
come to the surface and figure out how
many tons of ore there are in a piece of
ground that large, and twenty-five feet
thick, the visitor is apt to confess that
for beginner the Overland is all right
In no other mine in the camp is the
vein as regular in size or values, and
the immense scope of country embraced
in the group, in most of which ore is
known to exist, makes it very val
liable property. The work Of develop
ing the ground is progressing in a sys-
tematic manner, and there is no danger
of the mill closing down for lack of ore
for manV a. day.

WEST MOUNTAIN PLACERs.
Work Progressing In the Operation
of These Diggings.
bingham BulletinD

ABlnSnaln bullelln-l
Developments at the West Mountain
placer during the past few days have
been of a most satisfactory nature.
More or less washing is being done, de-
pending on present water supply and
superintendent Watson is gratified in
being able to report that the gravel
coming from the west tunnel is meet
ing all expenses, operating with a
force of twenty men. Drifts have been
run in the old creek bed twenty to
twenty-five feet each way from the
west tunnel, and everything is rapidly
shaping for larger production Work
in the east tunnel is temporarily sus-
pended, while a shaft is being sunk to
connect with the easterly end. This
shaft is now down over fifty feet, and
will reach the tunnel at 100 feet. A
drift will be started from it at bedrock
toward the channel to drain it, when
an abundant supply Of water for wash
ing win be obtained and practical ar
rest of the placer undertiow begun. The
east shaft is the result of an after
thought, being more practicable than
the original plan of tapping the creek
bed direct from. the tunnel. A twoinch
hole was made there, which started a
flow that made further work at that
point very disagTeeable. The water
from this raise is conveyed by pipe to
stump, and yields a considerable in
crease in the available supply for
slUicing.
Thus it can now be calculated with
some certainty that within the next
few weeks the big placer will be ready
for extensive operations. Within the
past few days one of the lower work
ing inclines reached gravel at $50 feet.
The other working incline is now down
100 feet, and others vii doubtless soon
be started.

DoDGING THE ISSUE.
Methods of Getting Around a Num-
Der of Law Points.

Der of Law Points.
A Utah mining company has taken
a novel way to get the best of the
stamp tax revenue law, says the Butte
Mining World. It names as its par
value. per share 1 cent. Such a pro-
ceeding would not have been necessary
had the law been properly passed upon.
Instead of regulating this tax to apply
on the face value of the shares, the law
was interpreted to mean a tax on the
par value. The par value may be 81,
yet the shares are selling for 5 cents
each. Thus a company is required to
pay the same tax, SO long as the par
value is the same, whether its shares
are selling for cents or S.. AS long
as unjust and obnoxious laws are en-
acted, so long viii men take advantage
of technicalities. The last legislature
of this state, endeavoring to stop the
incorporation of mining companies,
with what it thought was excessive
capitalization. passed a law compelling
new interpretations 10 pay 80 cents for
each LOCO shares when filing papers
with the secretary of state. The law
accomplished anything but what it was
intended. To avoid this excessive levy,
a company is row formed with nom
inal capitalization of, say 10000 shares,
on which fee Of IS is charged. Then,
in a few days after fling the papers, q
meeting Of all the stockholders is called
and a resolution is offered and passed,
authorizing an increase of the capital
shares to, say. 0,0O0 To file this reso-
lution costs $3.50. Thus you have a
500 OO0-share incorporation for $3.50 I'm
der the old law it cost SIC to file the
papers of sny incorporation. The new
law, While being unjust, at the same
time robs the state of a great many
dollars as well. This law should be re-
pealed at the coming session of the
state legislature, and instead of put
ting on the statute book a similar
measure, one should be enacted that
would aid. rather than retard mining
in all its branches.

WAsuINGToN, May 5.-Iniormatior
regarding the movements of Adnira
Simpsons fleet differ widely.
Out Of the conflicting opinions and
statements one thing that appears cleal
is that Admiral Sampson has been given
wider discretion than he has heretofore
had in his operations.
lie has been given three missions
One is to take Porto Rico; the second Is
to meet the Spanish fleet if it can be H.
Gated on this side of the Atlantic, and
the third is to protect the Oregon.
As to the method OF procedure, he is
given discretion, his course to be detel =
mined by Developments as he proceeds
1t is understood to be the expectation of
the President that Porto Rico will be
taken at once.
A study Of the map will show how
these three missions may be fitted into
one if the Spanish fleet is bound either
for Porto Rico, Havana or to intercept
the ore son.
For information as to the approach of
the Spanish fleet Admiral Sampson will,
it is said, rely upon the fast scout boats
which have been put on the lookout.
These vessels will sail in elliptical
courses, dipping far southward SO as to
cover the path OF the Spanish fleet and
to report its approach lis soon as dis
covered. The course and the rate of
speed OF SIMPSONS fleet will be known
to these scout vessels, SO that they will
know about where to intercept him at
any time
If the Spanish fleet is not come across
within certain time after SIMPSONS
fleet has arrived in the vicinity of Porto
Rico, the attack on that place will prob
ably be made as the first move and the
port be held to deprive the Spanish OF u
base of supplies.
If, however, it is discovered that the
Spanish fleet has sailed farther south
and is aiming to inter :ept the Greg, IN,
Admiral SIMPSONS fe.t will put out
after the Spaniards at once, with almost
a certainty OF running up with them by
the time they have come up with the
Oregon.
1t is said that the Oregon will so time
her course as not to arrive ut the point
where she would be intercepted by the
Spanish, if at ALL SO as to give Samp.
sons fleet opportunity to reach the
scene of action.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 5.-The despatcl
boat Leyden returned here from Cub;
this morning, after landing the frs
force sent to the island by the United
States Government.
She carried out her mission success
fully, and one OF her two parties had ;
sharp battle with Spanish cavalry.
The landing forces were aided by tn,
fire of the gunboat Wilmington, and
the Spanish cavalry were routed, leaving
many dead. 1t was the first fight il
which the Cuban and United States
flags floated side by side.
The despatch boat left here with {
special commissioner from Washington
to arrange plans OF cooperation witt
General Gomez, besides Cuban and
American one, led by General Baldomero
Acosta. This party included more thar
twenty representatives OF the Cuban
Junta from New York, Tampa and else
where, with number of cavalry horses
and large supply OF arms.
The commission to Gomez was put
ashore Oh the north coast OF Santa Glars
Province, and lett at once for the IT,.
terror.
The tug then steamed west, past Hav
ana and put in near Marie. Here
Acosta's force was landed. Many o
these men were veterans OF the Cuban
war, among them Laurine Prado and
Ambrosio Diaz, well-known fighters o
Havana Province.
They Eal barely landed wien hey
were fired upon by 200 Spanish cavalry
in ambush. These, in turn, were at.
tackled by Cuban land force Under
General Perico Diaz, which was waiting,
by previous arrangement, to receive the
supply of ammunition.
After sharp fight the Spaniards re-
treated and the Cubans were enabled to
start for the interior. In the course of
tie fight several stray shots pierced the
tugs funnel as she lay at anchor.
Acosta formerly commanded a cavalry
troop in the western part OF Havana
Province and is Il man OF extraordinary
daring and energy. His plan is to join
his old command, and from this camp
important dispatches will be carried to
all parts OF western Cuba. Other Cubans
OF the party expect to be able to e-taE
lish line OF communication from the
C ast to the interior.
At a critical point in tIe fight between
the landing force and the Spaniards the
United States grnboat Wilmington,
cruising off Marel. took a hand and
shelled the Spanish cavalry,
This was the first fight OF the war
where the allied Americans and Cnbans
jointly engaged the enemy. The shots
from the Wilmington spread consterna-
ton and disorder in the encmy's ranks.
Taking advantage of this, Dlaz charged
them with his Cuban infantry. The
>paniards were routed and DISPERSED in
great confusion, retiring in the direction
of Havana.
They carried upward "f twenty
wounded men and left sixteen dead on
lie field. besides losing many horses. At
the first puff of smoke from the VIII
mingtnn the American flag was unfurled
beside the Cuban colors at the head OF
Daz's troops. Both were carried side
BY side thro lghout the engagement.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-.The occu-

There is the highest authority for
the statement that this expedition will
be put In motion as specdily as possible
and the inference was suggested that
troops might be embarked possibly Ms
early as today, but at larthcst within
a day or two.
1t is intimatcd that a larger body
of troops than AT first contemplated
may have to be sent, on account of the
Gomez army not showing as large u
