the time: Spring Gulch, SIC; Lookout,

there has come shipping ore yielding sI24
per ton; from the Gem vein, &Io4. From
iron pyrites, taken from the top of the
hill, where the ledge Is from four to two
hundred feet in width, four dollars per ton
has been taken. There has been some
ore worked at the mill which yielded from
$40 to 5000 per ton.
Hitherto none of these figures have been
given to the public and It was with re.
luctance they were given me.
As the mine Is not for sale, and as
obtained the data from the books of the
company, reliance can be placed upon the
statements. During a period OF thirty
days, when the mill was last run, two
years ago, the battery samples ran from
5000 to 1870. At that time crushing
was suspended, awaiting more extensive
developments In the mine. II Is estim.

again as soon as new machinery, which
Is now on the road, arrives.
Steam power Is used to run the mill,
and a gasoline engine to run the air com.

makes II cheaper fuel than wood.

ARTISANS IN EMBRYO.


Prof. d. P. Dyer, OF the Bishop Scott
Academy, Portland. has a class OF
bright boys. at the Shively school
building. whom he is teaching wood
working in scientific way. He begins
with the pocket knife, becaues Its use
is second nature to a boy. and at the
same time that instrument requires
the fun attention Of the lad and at
tracts his interest at once. a very inn
portant consideration when boy Is
to be taught something in line en-
tirely new to him. The professor be-
lieves that the intellect and the hand
should be trained together. and by
teaching by the most natural as well
as scientific method he will turn out
youths that will not be mere machines,
but win think as they work and be
capable Of invention. as well as iml-
tation Of plans and models. So he be-
gins with the simplest kind of work,
thence step by step progressing
through the various steps necessary to
becoming skilled woodworker, the
finished product of his training win be
enabled TO do fancy carving made
after the lads own designs.
Another thing that the professor in
sists upon Is that no time shall be
wasted In so-called exercise work. but
that the boys shall feel that every bit
Of work performed by them is to go
to the construction Of a finished article
Of some definite use. By not dis
couraging his pupils through setting
them at the mere wasting Of good
material. he inculcates in their minds
a greater respect for the product OF
their industry. and hence much greater
care in its manipulation. The professor
has a very genial and friendly way
with the boys and so wins, their friend
ship and makes them fond Of their
tasks which become pleasure under
his approving smile.
A summer so spent viii mean a great
deal to these favored lads. whether
they ever take up this line Of work as
means Of livelihood or not, for
ability to handle tools properly win
save a great deal Of time, annoyance
and money to any man when he has

lessons gained. aside from the mere
use Of tools, will prove OF great assis-
tance in character building

LATHER KNOCKED OUT.
Jack Hill Proves to Be the Better Man
in Every Respect.

What was advertised as a fifteen
round contest between Jack Hill. OF
Astoria, and James Lather. a private
at Fort Stevens. which came off at
Erickson's hall last night, developed
TO be rather tame bout, with Hill an
easy winner. Lather was in good con-
dition and gave every evidence at the
outset thai he would put up a strong
fight. But he proved to lack the neces-
sary aggressiveness and Hill had him
at his mercy from the latter part of the
first round until. with right-hand
blow on the jaw. he put the soldier un-
der the ropes and out.
The preliminary bout between Vim
cent Gardena, of Astoria, and Kid
Richardson, Of Portland, was really
the most interesting event of the even
ing. The contest was fast and furious
from the beginning of the four-round
bout. Richardson having slightly the
best of 1t at the end of the first round.
But from the beginning Of the second
round Gardena showed his metal by
assuming strong aggressive attitude.
In the fourth round particularly, Gar
dena proved his superiority, and he
was given the decision by the referee.
James ]. Mackey acted as referee for
both contests and gave universal sat
isfaction. His decisions were promptly
rendered and not word Of dissent was
heard.
At the conclusion of the Hill-Lather
contest, the winner was challenged by
Ross and Jost Of Portland. and White
ard Evans of Astoria.
