REoPENING OF MONTE CRIsTo.
Mines Are Preparing to Resume Or

W. F. Sutton. chief engineer OF the
Everett & Monte Cristo. and superintend-

turned to Everett from Monte Cristo.
where he has been for week overseeing
the preparations for the reopening of the
mines He made the trip from Silverton
to Monte Cristo partly on handcar and
partly afoot.
Mr. Sutton, says the Independent, Is an
and having been there when the mines
were running and ore was being taken
out, is thoroughly acquainted with the
Rockefeller properties, OF which he will
be In charge.
Capt Christopher has charge of the
repairs being made TO the concentration
and other property, and the work Is be-
ing pushed rapidly forward.
II is expected that the Everett & Monte

depot. at Monte Cristo. not later than

ORE SHOOT IN THE WILBUR.


The Index Miner says that on Tuesday
there occurred In the Wilbur mine what
Is In all probability the richest strike
ever made In the Index district. In the
upper tunnel shaft is being sunk to
connect with the middle tunnel. II was
In this shaft that the strike was made.
At depth of fifteen feet an ore shoot
was struck. which consisted of over three
feet OF copper glance of very high
grade. While an assay had not yet been
made, the assayers and miners pro-
nounced II exactly like the ore In the
middle and lower tunnels. assays of which
showed values of 1924 to the ton. This
is the same ore shoot that shows In the
middle tunnel something over 200 feet
still further down the mountain. The
other tunnels, however, did not cut the
thicker part OF the shoot. ten inches be-
ing the widest showing. The new strike
IL therefore OF great Importance, show
ing the vein to be continuous and also
showing that 1t is much wider than the
lower tunnels showed. II now shows
about $50 feet of this high grade ore,
there being several hundred thousands of
dollars worth in sight.
Work on the SHAFT will be rushed UNI
Ill II connects the upper and middle tun-
nels. when all will be in readiness for
stopping Shipments Will begin at once,
and be made regularly as long as Mr..
Mcintyre has control OF the property, on
which he has a six months lease.

CANALS IN THE NEXT CENTURY.
Artificial Waterways Important Fac.
tors in Conn crcinl Progress.

Do canals pay? That ia question fire.
quently asked. Most assuredly they do.
The Erie canal, up to the time 1t was
declared free paid for itself with SIS. Co.,
600 to its credit. The state OF New York
has not expended this sum in maintain
Ing Ii since that period. Few people know
that such q waterway as the Miami and
Erie Canal exists. 1t does, however,
and since 1897 has been prominent fac
tor in building up the state of Ohio. 1t Is
$50 miles in length. and originally cost
IS, 800. 200 Al. From 1927 to 1898 the total re-
ceipts amounted 10 s6729, SCOTS. with ex-
penses $5.2ls647.72. leaving a credit ball
ance Of s.. 5l2, $500.
This canal, instead of decreasing in the
volume of business done. Is steadily adj
vancing. During the first Quester of the
present year Gle boats cleared from Gin
cinnati. as against 1893 for the correspond
ing period last year
The Ohio legislature has Just appro-
priated $4,000 for Improvement. and Will
continue to keep the canal in the best
possible condition.
Canals are by no means becoming obso-
lete. but are even gaining greater favor
as the years go on. The necessity of such
waterways. to connect oceans and great
routes of trade, is paramount. See how
the city OF Manchester. in England. has
made itself a seaport, and what benefit
the Kiel canal Is TO a large and growing
fleet belonging 10 the German empire.
Russia is building the largest canal ever
devised, and our own Nicaragua canal
will, when finished. make greater changes
in the steam and sailing ship routes on
the ocean than any other enterprise now
contemplated.
Canal projects will In future vie with
great railroads and land industries in
magnitude, engineering progress enabling
builders to overcome the obstacles which
once appeared tnsurmountable The tven-
tieth century will be more OF an age of
canals than the one just closing. and
these, with fleets of economical vessels.
will be the means of contributing largely
to the wealth and prosperity of the ma
lions of the future.-Nautical Gazette.

GOLD DISCOVERY NEAR BLAINE.


BLAINE. June "a The whole town Is
wild with excitement this afternoon over
a gold discovery in deposit of black
sand. The prospectors who had located
the find several days ago, went out with
a livery rig this morning and In six hours
were back In town with "a sack OF black
sand. exceedingly heavy. with fine black
sulpherets. This they proceeded TO wash
out in the presence Of a large number OF
bystanders The sand was literally alive
with fine gold One OF tho men washed
out a handful of the sand for your cor
respondent and the result was thirty-five
colors, all visible without the aid OF a
glass. The gold is bright and clean. and
amalgamates readily. The sand Is not
like black sand until after a little wash
ing. when the lighter white sand readily
passes off with this water. Colors begin
10 make their appearance before the sand
IL nearly washed down. A painful of such
sand as was shown today would readily
give three or four hundred colors.
The location OF the find has not been
given out. but the men have promised the
entire story early next week. by which
time they expect 10 have made their To-
cations The sand however. seems to
have come from some portion OF the sound
beach. That the sand comes from some
nearby place. and that II il exceedingly
rich. are two undeniable facts.

A School OF Diplomacy.

Congress is to be urged to establish a
| school of diplomacy, despite the fact
| that diplomats are born and not made
and hat American diplomats have
scored great successes despite the fact
that they were not graduates of dlplO-
matte schools. In fact, the field of d.
plomacy has been signally narrowed
down the past few decades owing to the
enormous extension of the facilities of
direct communication. This has result
ed in the concentration of direct re-
sponsibility in the person of the secre-
tary of state and the withdrawal of al
most all the responsibility which for
merly rested on diplomatic representa-
tives. The day is coming when the only
material service which can be rendered
by diplomatic representatives will be to
acquire so thorough a knowledge of the
character and customs of the people to
which he is accredited as will enable
him to acquaint his government with
the trend Of public opinion. But ever
the old diplomacy was not an art to be
studied or a science to be learned. Many
of the foreign diplomats are not grad
yates of diplomatic schools, nor have
they been trained for the diplomatic
profession, but have been selected be-
cause as men they possessed the quail
tiles of born diplomats, and it is these
men that have achieved and will con-
tinue to achieve the greatest diplomatic
triumphs.
