The new 100000 mill at the Golconda
mine, near Baker City, Ore, is building.
The owners expect great success with
the new bromine- chlorine process.
The Collateral mine, adjoining the Vir.
tue, in Eastern Oregon, has now done
some 1900 feet of development work, and
have exposed big body OF ore that will
keep o mill long at work.
The late Oregon legislature passed
three bills affecting the mining industry:
"To put placer and quartz claims upon
the same basis as real estate;' 'to pro
vide for lien against mining claims for
labor and supplies and "to provide for
the appropriation of water for mining and
power purposes"
Development work that has taken place
in the mining districts adjacent to Long
Creek, Ore, within the last IL months
has in manner settled the future of this
extensive mineral belt. This season will
not only be notable for the discoveries
made, but will also witness the unfolding
OF large and rich ore bodies, in the prop
critics now being operated.
1t is reported that Z. Ray has uncoy;
cred a $4,000 pocket on his property at
Gold Hill, after going through some 80
feet of solid rock from where he uncov.
cred $4,000 pocket last summer The
find has created considerable excitement
in the vicinity. It is located on the fam
Gus gold hill from which the town de.
rived its name and from which such an
immense sum was taken out in pockets
many years ago.
From present indications, the Susan.
vile mining district will experience a
prosperous year, as business men OF all
classes are beginning to come in and look
for locations, and view the possibilities
Of opening up trade. The Badger Min
ing & Milling company has been running
its new l0.stamp mill on good ore all
winter, and shipping good carbonate ore
from the Badger mine as well an sending
out several carloads of high grade con
centrates from the mill. Work at other
mines is promising.

Varied Sensations Caused.

the breasts of men and women in tall
buildings.
Varied Sensations Caused.
The sensations experienced by indi-
viduals were variously described. One
woman was sure she saw her bed room
floor wave like carpet that is being
shaken out on the grass" Others had
equally startling tales to tell, but such
cases found few believers. So far as
known. the earthquake did not do the
slightest damage.
The majority of persons thought that
furnaces had blown up, water pipes
bursted or steam heaters exploded.
They didn't think of earthquakes until
later in the day.
Another curious thing is the fact that
il was the wives instead of the nus
bands who were startled by the shock
and who knew more of it. That was
an unconscious confession that the hus
bands lay in bed while the wives arose
TO build the fires. Of course, these
gentlemen didn't realize that they were
telling domestic secrets, but they were
doing SO.
There was more evidence yesterday
that wives get up in cold, wintry morn
ings, when the frost is on the pane
and the poker feels like the eighty
seventh latitude line. than has ever be-
fore come to light in Salt Lake. Sub
stantial looking men who have energy
and activity confessed in their accounts
that they were doing between warm
blankets waiting until their wives had
built fires by which they could dress in
comfort.
My wife felt the Shock said
man at Billy Young's cafe on Main
street, but 1 hadn't got up yet. She
was frightened and she came to awake
me. She said it felt like the rumble
of railway train.''
Another man dreamed that he heard
a burglar rapping on his window pane.
and a third said that he believed the
furnace in his cellar had blown up.
He had energy enough to go down to
look, but the furnace was still there.
Then he came to the conclusion that it
was but a dream, the relic of a mid
night mince pie, so he climbed into bed
while his better half cooked breakfast
and warmed his socks.
Weather Observer Murdoch insisted
that he was not responsible for the
quake. He had not ordered it, and
couldn't understand just why it had
insisted On showing up at the time it
did Mr.. Murdoch was at home and in
bed when the shock came.
Mr.. Grunow's Impressions.
His assistant, Mr.. Grunow, who was

has been instructing his classes on this
very phenomenon. and only a few days
ago he said, jokingly, that he would
try to have an earthquake ordered for
the special benefit of his students.

DIR. Talmage. II have been endeavor-

whether it originated at the base of
the Wasatch and passed outward into
the basin or lake, or whether it carle
in from the basin and went towards
the Wasatch. The base of the Wasatch
range is determined by a great fault
or Slip Besides this fault there are
many minor faults sometimes indicat-
ing a slip of but few feet. Now, when
crushed blocks slip one upon another
an earth jar is started. If these crushed
blocks are large and the displace-
ment great, the earth jar may be very
violent. If but small slip occurs
mere tre1nor may result. The westerns
base of the Wasatch marks such a
fault and in all probability the crushed
blocks along that line settle from time
to time to positions of greater stability, |
