A NEW COPPER DISTRICT.

Development on Trout Creek, in Crook
County.
Little has been said regarding the
Trout creek mining district, in Crook
county, Oregon, and the outside world
is consequently unaware Of the fact
that great mine is here being devel-
oped. The visitor to the camp sees
this at once, and naturally wonders that
no news reaches the public regarding
such propositions. The property, con.
sisting of IL claims in a group, has
been provided with substantial and
commodious buildings, all fully fur
nished and equipped. On the hill at
the shaft is 80 horsepower economy
boiler, by 10 hoist; pipe lines for
water supply from the pump in the
ravine, blacksmith shop and the France
work for raising the gallows frame, 81
feet in height, for operating the hoist;
also cars and ample trackage.
The shaft descends on the dip of the
vein, the present angle being about 30
degrees from perpendicular, and hoist
ing will be accomplished by self.dump-
ing skip. A depth of 1870 feet has been
gained, with about 100 feet of drifts
and prosecuting at the 100.foot level.
Ores of all grades are scattered about
the dumps awaiting the construction OF
the ore bins.
The vein itself is of the type known
as Replacement" and occupies an east
and west fault line, cutting square
across rounded knoll; the ores occur
as space Filings along the fault, but
mainly replacing the crushed andesite
on the foot side OF fracture, being grad.
ually lost as distance is gained from the
fracture through the foot, no sharp line
characterizing the ending of values,
and the crushed zone showing an ex-
ira width of 100 feet at the crown OF
the hill. The immediate country is
augite-andesitc, circular tract OF this,
very much faulted, by simple subsi-
dence, occurring in region of sheet
and faulted basalts and other lavas.
these latter overlaid by sheet of por.
phyry. Other prospects with cry
good showings occur in this tract, and
the time is not distant when the merits
of the camp will be established.
Surely Oregon has added another pro-
Queer to her list of mines.

Government Has no Right to Lease
Beach Diggings.

De0cu Ds88suBss
A very important question has just
been decided by Commissioner Her.
mann, OF the general land office, gov.
erning placer mining upon the beach OF
Behring sea ON the coast Of Alaska, at
and near Cape Nome, the new gold
field. The decision affects mining and
localities embracing tidelands below
the line of ordinary high tide. Numer.
Gus applications are pending before the
interior department as to locations upon
such lands, which have been demon.
strated to contain gold in marvellous
quantities. individuals or associations
of persons and incorporated mining
companies are seeking concessions from
the government by which they may &C.
quire exclusive mining rights and
privileges pertaining to such tidelands.
The commissioner decides that tide.
lands in the district OF Alaska are not
public lands, subject to disposal to
individuals, under any Of the existing
land laws of the United States, and
that the department has no statutory
authority to make concessions to indi.
viduals OF any mining rights pertaining
to such tidelands.
A citation is made by the commits
sioner of the case of Shively vs.. Boalby,
decied by the United States supreme
court, in which it was held that the

the states or by treaty with foreign
country or by discovery and settlement.

Important Capture by General Grants
Command.


Command.
Manila, Dec. l3.-The advance
guard Of General Grants command,
under Major Spence, arrived at Dion.
gapo, Subig bay, at night, December
8, which place was occupied with lit.
tie resistance, the enemy fleeing. Ma.
jor Spence had an arduous march over
the mountain trails.
Yesterday morning the Baltimore
and Oregon and chartered transport
arrived at Olongapo from Manila. The
navy was disappointed to find the
army in possession Of the place, which
they had hoped to capture. a detach.
ment of marines, under Captain Myers,
occupied the navy-yard at Olongapo,
and will hold and occupy it as II naval
station. The yard consists of seven
new, large buildings, and some repair
and machinery shops, all damaged by
the bombardment of September %.
During the morning of December 10
the navy transported Major Spence's
command from Olongapo to the town
of Subig. five miles distant. The en-.
envy was seen DESERVING Subig as the
troops landed, and the latter occupied
it without resistance. They found the
place abandoned by the retreating en-
envy, who fired a few shots. The
Americans deployed to the right and
left OF the town. and killed one of the
enemy.
General Grant and the remainder of
his command arrived at Olongapo yes.
terday afternoon. He will proceed to
Subig and join Major Spence. General
Grant will move north along the coast,
and will effect juncture with the
Twenty.ffth infantry, under Colonel
Andrew S. Burt, who was reported
eight miles from 1ba, December Z.
The enemy encountered in General
Grants advance fled to the mountains
and scattered. General Grant is not
garrisoning the towns he occupies. No
casualties are reported in his command.

sympathy for the Beers.

Washington, Dec. l3.-An appeal by
Mason for an expression of sympathy
for the Transvaal republic in its war
with Great Britain was the feature of
the senate proceedings today. 1t was
the first formal address delivered in
the senate this session, and was listened
to with thoughtful attention by both
the members and by large gallery of
auditors. The resolution upon which
Mason based his address was referred
to the foreign relations committee.
Lodge, considering it too delicate a
question in view OF the position OF this
government to pass upon without seri.
Gus consideration. No business OF i'm.
portance was transacted by the senate.

NO HEsITANCY IN rRbDE.
Csusl Shrinkage 1t End Of the Year
Not Apparent.


r. G. Dun g. Co.'s weekly review OF
trade says: The approach Of a new
year usually brings 80 much OF hest.
fancy in business that the small shrink.
age this year is surprising. Probably
never before have the productive forces
Of the country been SO largely covered
by contracts at this date, inducing
employment and profit far into the
coming year. This results not from
any mere speculative excitement, but
from actual demands for consumption
running far beyond the producing ca.
pacity hereafter, and pushing it to re-
markable expansion. The increase in
foreign trade has been significant, com.
pared with the increase Of $24 900, 900
in payments through clearing houses.
For the week the payments have been
2O.3 per cent larger than last year, and
88.1 per cent larger than in 1892.
Demand for cars and other railway
equipment is enormous, and also for
shipping, both lake and ocean. Tin is
weak at 2734c, and copper declined to
1910, but lead and spelter are
stronger.
Wool has advanced further, with
much speculative buying, though most
manufacturers have supplied wants for
the present, and are less disposed to
purchase at prices now averaging
higher than at any time since June 10,
1891.
Wheat has risen Sc, and corn frac.
ton, with q decline in Western re.
ceipts of both. Atlantic exports OF
wheat this week, aour included, were
only $3.50, 667 bushels, against $780,.
767 last year, and Pacific exports $780,.
NJ bushels, against 556,52 bushels
last year.
Failures for the week have been 22l
in the United States, against 24S last
year, and 33 in Canada, against % last
Vcslr.
