Warren OF the Hillsboro district
bases the calculation on the rela-
tive densities, dividing the specific
gravity Of gold by that of quartz,
and also by that Of the specimen
from the greater quotient subtract
ing the lesser; the remainder 10 the
proportion of gold; from the lesser
he subtracts l. the remainder is
the proportion OF quartz.

POPE EXPRESSES AFFECTION.
HOPES AMERICANS WILL SEE 1T IN
LETTER TO GIBBONS.

Makes 1t Clear That His Letter Is
One of Correction With Reference
TO the Life of Father Hecker.
Adaptation of Certain Points of
Discipline Rests with the Church
and Not with IndfviduaIs-The
Letter ArOuses Deep Interest.
Rome. Feb. M.-Osservatore Romano
publishes tonight letter from the Pope
to Cardinal Gibbons, saying that "If the
term Americanism signifies qualities pc
cuIiar to Americans and usages adapted
to their customs, then We have nothing TO
say against 1t; but If 1t denotes the opin-
ions expressed in the Life of Father
Hecker,' we are convinced that the Amer
lean bishops will be the first to reject it,
The letter. which makes five columns
in the Osservatore Romano, begins by
lauding Cardinal Gibbons and the Amer
lean Catholics. Abiding to the many
proofs of good win he has given them in
the past, the Pope wishes them to see
In the present document another proof of
his affection for America.
While he makes 1t clear that the letter
is one of warning and correction with ref
erence to the Life of Father Hecker,'
his holiness carefully distinguishes be-
tween the doctrinal aspects of the new
theories and questions of practical discip-
line and strongly urges the impossibilty
of any change in the former. While ad-
hitting that the church has always rec
ogn1zed and acted upon the necessity OF
adapting certain points of discipline to
modern requirements, 1t rests with the
church, the Pope points out, and not with
individuals, to determine how and when
sucn adaptations can be made.
IAN virtues" says his holiness, must
necessarily be active. The contempt shown
by innovators for what they are pleased
to call passive virtues has naturally led
to a contempt of religious life as suited
only to the weak, and as an impeachment
to Christian perfection and to the good
of the community"
This error the Pope energetically con-
dennis, declaring 1t Injurious to the re-
ligous orders and in contradiction to his
tory
He reminds the Americans of their in
debtedness to the religious orders, both
active and contemplative
The letter arouses deep interest in Rome.
The Liberal papers declare that 1t consti-
tutes a Solemn manifestation OF the In
transigeant spirit in Catholicism" and
predict that ii will produce at immense
effect in America.

MADE MANY CONCESSIONS.
Canadian Members of Commission
Cannot Expect Much More.

Washington Feb 2.-without any pur-
pose 10 start a flood of recrimination the
American members of the joint high Cana
dian commission feel that they have not
been to blame for the failure TO reach an
agreement but they are justified In the
statement that they have made conces-
sion after concession.
It is supposed that reasons Of internal
policy founded on the belief that they
would be In a better position before the
session Of the Parliament just beginning,
II able to assert that they had refused TO
sacrifice Canadian interests, have Animal
ed the Canadian members of the commits
sion in their course.
II is just possible that better results
may attend a further conference of the
Joint body next summer, but while the
officials here regret exceedingly the fall
ure so far to reach an agreement, 1t Is
said positively that the American side
has made it's last concession and the
Canadians cannot expect any better terms
hereafter than they have now refused.
