ACTIVITY IN oPHIR.
The ophir Consolidated Mill Ready
For It's New Machinery.

George st. Clair is in from brief
trip to Ophir where he went to look
into some mining propositions in which
he is interested. He says the camp of
Ophir has not looked so prosperous in
long while as it does today. The new
mill being put up at the Ophir Con-
Solidated by W. 4. Clark has been en-
closed and is ready for the installation
OF the machinery. The new water pipe
line is being put in, which. when com
pleted, will furnish the mine and mill
with the water it needs for all pur-
poses.
a large force of men is employed al
the property. Some are finishing the
work on the mill and the others are
kept busily engaged in blocking out
ore in the mine.
Over on Lion hill the principal mines
are working; aside from them great
deal of assessment work is being done.
Everyone around Ophir expects to see
the camp blossom out with some of its
old-time vigor next year. Mr.. ST Clair
says there are good indications of the
return of old times. The resumption
at the Ophir Consolidated will en-
courage other property owners to en-
gage in exploratory work

Long-Mining News and Notes.

A sensational discovery of gold has
been made in the New State mine in
Little Cottonwood canyon. A sample
of the ore brought down from the mine
several days ago proved to contain
196 ounces in gold, which, figured at
$50 an ounce, would give the ore a
value of 1890 to the ton.
The ore was extracted from the
streak encountered in the crosscut
from the tunnel several weeks ago, and
at the point where the sample was
taken the vein showed a width of about
seven inches. The vein has been fol-
lowed for a distance of sixty feet, and
has varied in width from five to TWEEN
ty-one inches; forty feet of the distance
will show an average of the vein OF al
least foot III width.
The sample which underwent the test
applied by the assayer weighed about
thirty-five pounds.
Officials of the New State were aston
ished at the richness of the rock. 1t
was thought it would give values some
where between $50 and $40 to the ton,
but when ii was found that the rock
ran over 50, 900, those connected with
the mine were simply carried off their
feet.
The vein from winch the ore was
taken appears to be assure, and
there is every indication that the drift
is getting pretty close to the contact,
when it is believed large vein of rich
ore will be encountered.
Work is being pushed along rapidly
at the mine, and arrangements nave
been made to put on an additional force
after the holidays. The owners of the
New State mine have struggled along
for several years, living in hopes that
the time would come when they would
be rewarded for their labors. 1t is be-
lieved their hopes will be fully realized.

applauded heartily the efforts of the
students.
Principal Clark opened with remarks
apropos of the season, and then made
few suggestions regarding the proper
method of spending the vacation with
both profit and pleasure. Abner How

on the duties of the government as
taught by Washington. The grafton
gave evidence of much thought and was
delivered in fine style.
Roy Williams gave a solo on the vio-

Mather & Co., owners of the whaleback
barge No. lis. which it was supposed
had been lost with all on board in the
great storm of early last week, received
a telegram from the captain of the
barge. saying that himself and the
crew were safe.
The telegram is dated Middletown,
Ont, and says the vessel went ashore
near Little Pic river, in the north
shore of Lake Superior. The message
says nothing as to the condition of the
vessel. The crew consisted of eight
men.
When the whaleback broke away

Just before laying aside their books
and beginning the Christmas vacation

day met en- masse in the art gallery
and spent a jolly hour in an informal
eXtempore programme. Throwing aside
all restraint, forgetting even the neces-
sity of attending class Rotations, they
expressed in their own way their no.
tons of school life-their relations to
fellow students and to teachers.
Called together during lunch hour,

creased when they saw that the college
men had mischief in their eyes: On
motion of viii Ray, Nelson Dickerman,
chairman of the Field Day club. was
called upon to preside The first move
suggested was that a holiday be pro-
claimed at once. This was carried with
spirit and vociferous demonstration.

Admiral Dewey and the Flagship
Olympia Leave Manila Amid
Cheers and salutes.

Manila, May 22.-Amid the booming
of big guns, the cheers from thousands
of lusty threats and the strains of mar
tial music the cruiser Olympia, with
Admiral Dewey aboard, sailed from Ma
Mia Saturday afternoon on its home
ward voyage. Merchant ships and the
big British cruiser Powerful joined in
the noisy demonstration, while the
forts at Manila and Cavite roared out
farewell salutes to the man who had
one year ago defied their deadly fire.
The Olympia will proceed TO Hong
Kong, where she will be locked, cleaned
and generally oyerhauled. With her
war paint covered over by the coat of
white, the official color of the United
States warships, she will resume the
long voyage for home, by way of the
Suez canal.
just before sailing Admiral Dewey
said if he could have consulted his in
clination he would have remained here
till peace was established. His health,
however, demanded his return. One of
the things that touched him most
among all the expressions of feeling
from the people at home, he said, was
the raising of a subscription in his ma
tive state to build a bronze statue of
himself to be placed in the state house
at Montpelier, opposite a statue OF
Ethan Allen.
Speaking of the situation, Admiral
Dewey said: 81 believe that we are near
the end. The insurgents are fast going
to pieces. The sending of third com
mission shows that they believe that
this commission means business"

AGAINST REDUCTION.
Presbyterian Assembly Defeats Prop
OsitiOns 10 Lower Ratio OF
Representation.

inneapolis, Mimi, May 23.--De-
mocracy asserted itself in the Presby-
terrain general assembly Monday after
noon. With shout the assembly voted
down two carefully considered and pre-
pared plans TO reduce the membership
one by third and the other by more
than half The committee on reduced
representation, appointed year ago,
was scarcely given courteous treat
ment, so pronounced was the feeling
against getting farther away from the
people. Two members of the commit
tee presented the two proposed plans
one making the basis of representation
6,000 communicates, and the other max
ing the basis Sc ministers in the Presby-
teries instead of "a, as at present. I'm
pressed by the strength of the opposi-
ton, a friend of reduced representa-
ton proposed to send an overture down
to the presbyteries, asking their adj
vice. The motion was laid on the table
with great alacrity. DR.. John w. Dins-
more, of San Jose, offered a substitute
motion, thanking and discharging the
committee, and indefinitely deferring
the question of reduced representation.
When the vote came there was a mighty
yes and a feeble no. The decision
against another part of the senate
committees report was closer. By a
vote of 1S4 to 16S the assembly decided
not to increase from FIVE to ten the num-
Der of ministers necessary to constitute
q presbytery.

SWEPT BY FIRE.
100000 MT Dawson City, Alaska
Buildings Burned Number Ill.

Victoria, b. c., May 22.-The main
portion of the city of Dawson was de-
stroyed by fire on April &c, causing a
loss of about $2,000O00. In all Ill
buildings, including the Bank of Brit
ish North America, were burned. The
news was brought down by l.. S. Hume,
a son of Mayor Hume, of Seattle, j..
Toklas and third party who left Daw-
son on April n and made their way out
by canoe to Lake Lebarge and then over
the ice, having a most perilous trip.
The fire consumed everything from
Timmons' Royal cafe down to opposite
the Fairview hotel, this building be-
ing as dry as finder. The flames spread
with such rapidity that the citizens APP
peared panic stricken and unable to
save anything in the way of furniture,
goods and clothing. The fire was caused
by drunken woman upsetting lamp
in a notorious house.
About $1,000,O00 in gold and paper
money is said to have been lost by the
two Canadian banks, the fireproof
vault of the Bank of British North
America having belied its name. There
is a probability, however, that much of
the gold will be recovered, for before
the ashes had time to cool the manager
of the bank secured miners to search
them.
