TOOPEN THE PIYER.

Much of the mystery about the
operations of railway surveyors on
the north bank of the Middle Co.
lumbia since early in the year is
dispelled by the resumption of con-
struction work on what is known
as the Paul Mohr portage road, be-
tween Columbus, point on the
river bank opposite Grants, and
Crates point, or the big eddy, about
three miles above the city of The
Dalles. The purpose of this port
age road is to transport freight past
the dalles of the Columbia, which
is an unnavigable stretch of the
river about 20 miles long to connect
with steamboats, above and below
1t is said that the portage will add
only about 5 cents ton to the cost
Of transporting grain, which would
not be an appreciable factor in get
ting the produce of the interior to
tidewater.
Several years ago, work was be-
gun on this portage road, and two
or three miles of rails were laid at
the upper end. Since then the en-
terprise has languished. This year
activity was again manifested and
in the past week numerous crews
have been put at work on the line
and the road, it is said, will be
ready for operation in a few months.
The history of the enterprise is a
matter of considerable interest.
History of the Project.
In 1885 the Farmers Railway
Transportation e. Steamboat Port
age Company was organized in
Walla Walla by Messrs. Sharpstein
Payne, Chapman, Baumister and
Small. A survey was made ofthe
proposed portage railway, but there
the matter stopped, the company
waiting for the locks at the cascades
to be completed, it being plain that
a portage railway around the dalles
of the Columbia river would be
utterly useless without some means
of overcoming the distractions at
the cascades of the Columbia. AZ
ter waiting few years, the original
promoters became tired, and Paul
F, Mohr was appealed to by Mr..
Chapman to take hold of the enter
prise. AS consequence, Messrs.
Miles G. Moore, A. NJ. Cannon, Paul
F. Mohr, e. H. Morrison and Jo-
seph s. Jorgensen became interest
ed with Mr.. Chapman. 1t was
thought then that the locks would
surely be completed in 1889 but in
1889 this consumation seemed as
remote almost as at the beginning
and all these gentlemen dropped
out except Mr.. Chapman and Mr..
Mohr, who concluded they would
hang on to the enterprise until the
locks were completed They inter
ested pith them the Hon. w. Lair
Hill, G. B. Niblock. ofChicago, and
the late julius Loewenberg, of Port
land.
A new company was formed,
known as the Farmers Transpor-

NO ExCUsE FOR IDLE MILLS.

M. f. Leech of Boulder, contributed
the following to last Thursdays Denver
Republican: l stated in your columns
less than two years ago that no new pro-
cesses were needed to make a success OF
handling the low grade ores produced in
this state. Especially the secret and
mysterious process that is put out to
save more than the fire assay shows the
ore to contain. Concentrating to make
clean product regardless of trying to
make close saving of values Ia thing
that it is impossible) secures all that can
be easily and cheaply had by concentra-
tion and the use of cyanide for the final
treatment will in nearly all cases get
from 80 to 80 per cent of the values.
Clean concentrates is a very desirable
doubt they will do all they can to en-
courage this system of milling. There is
no excuse now for any good and well 10
Gated concentrating mill standing idle.
The addition of a cyanide plant fills the
missing link. We have made very ex
tensive tests on this line here in Boulder
county, and always with first class re-
suits. 1t is very safe to say that any
method that will handle Boulder county
ore will answer for any other ores pro
duced in this state. Our tests show that
with well equipped concentrating mill
and cyanide plant of 80 tons per day ca
pacity low grade ore can be converted
into money at an expense not exceeding
Sl.50 per ton. In the two operations of
concentrating and cyaniding nearly full
assay value is saved. This 5l.50 per ton
will inclu1e the expense of shipping and
and smelling charges on the concen.
trates. This plan OF milling if adopted
will add many millions to the production
of gold, silver, lead and copper in this
state.
