BABY MCKEE TUNNEL.
Largest Development Enterprise Ever In.
augurated in Oregon.

augurated in Oregon.
One Of the largest development tunnel
enterprise ever inaugurated IN Oregon Is
under headway at Gable Cove, under the
direction Of Colonel John Temple Gray.
son, general manager Of the Baky M,kee
Gold Mining company.
The tunnel, which might be properly
called working tunnel, Is to crosscut
three ledges,th Cincirnat,i, Baby Mckee
aud Chloride, and when finished will be
4soo feet In length and at the apex OF the
mountain will gain depth Of 226o feet.
This enterprise will be the means Of de.
veloping the whole Gable Cove district
by proving the permanency Of the veins.
No other company operating In eastern
Oregon has set about doing such syste.
matte and extensive operations as the
Baby Mckee Gold Mining company. The
mines are equipped with large and sub.
stantial lodging apartments for employees,
each miner having his own room and
spring bed, heating stove and all con.
veniences for comfort. The boarding
house Is large and well equipped and the
best Of everything Is supplied, Colonel
Grayson believing that to get full days
work It Is necessary to give the best board
and comforts to his men.
A wagon road Of easy grade has been
completed to the mine and this Is soon to
be continued down Fruit creek instead Of
down Clear creek as now, avoiding a
steep mountain haul and affording easier
wagon transportation for heavy machin.
cry. In the building Of this road the
Baby Mckee company bore the whole ex.
pense, not a cent being contributed by
anyone, although there are scores Of
mine owners In the vicinity who will be
benefited.
In the management Of the mines Col.
onel Grayson Is assisted by Mr.. William
G. Reynolds, Of this city, formerly man.
ager Of the French. Flagstaff Mining com.
pany, and no more competent or trust.
worthy man could be found. Mr.. Rey.
nolds Is a practical miner and Of rare ex.
ecutive ability, two essentials necessary
to successful mining.
Colonel Grayson Is just now installing
an air compressor to run two drills and
plans are In progress Of formation for
increased machinery in the near future.
In connection with this brief mention Of
the operations Of the Baby Mckee Gold
Mining company, reference to days gone
by Is Of interest. On the trip to the Pa.
cihc coast during his term Of Office, ex.
President Harrison visited Baker City
and was presented with small gold
brick made from gold from the Baby Nc.
Kee mine by our fellow townsman, Mr..
Fred K. Meilis. The brick was appro.
priately engraved and the gift was seem.
ingly highly appreciated by the disting.

When / first met him the Greek
archimandrite had been 40 years in
Peking, and had never been anywhere

man, with a smile like Benjamin

He wore the Chinese pigtail and

many happy hours. for he talked With

Fires Caused by Beer Bottles.

Il has been discovered that
many of the prairie fires that have
destroyed the grass on the ranges
in Montana and in the western
part of Dakota have been started
by the concentration of the rays Of
the sun upon broken beer bottles
that are scattered freely along the
cattle trails and wagon roads,
which offer a new argument fol-
the use of the temperance folks.
Numerous fires have been started
far away from human haunts and
habitation, miles beyond the reach
of sparks from the smokestacks oi
locomotive. and the farmers anG
ranchmen have been so mystifieG
as to their origin that several in.
vestigations have been made
When a fire has been traced to its
source, In almost every instance {
broken bottle has been found will
evidence around it to convince tn,
investigators that it was the caus.
of the mischief. The curved glass
was lying in such a position as tt
focus the rays of the sun upon ,
tuft of dry bunch grass and star
a flame.
Thus is the beer bottle a sourc,
of an immense amount of damag,
that has been unexpected hereto

Sugar In the Human system.

Sugar In the Human System.
Sugar is a substance that dissolves
easily and in considerable quantity In
water. When In solution 1t easily pass
es through animals membrane by
Osmosis, and SO the question of its
Absorption seemed simple enough
The disease diabetes showed, how
ever, that sugar might exist very
plentifully In the blood and yet the nu-
triton of an individual suffer very
much for the lack of it. Something
else besides its mere presence in the
system was necessary to secure I,s
consumption by the tissues.
Bernard thought that the liver was
active In the consumption of sugar and
that disease of this organ caused dia-
betes. He therefore secured some OF
the blood going to the liver of living
animal and some of the blood that was
Just leaving 1t. TO his surprise. the
blood leaving the liver contained more
sugar than that entering it.
After assuring himself that his OBJ
servations were correct, he tried his
experiments in different ways. He
found that even in the blood leaving
the liver of an animal that had beer
fed only on substances containing NJ
sugar, sugar could be demonstrated
Even in a fasting animal the liver 1t
self and the blood leaving 1t showed
the presence of a form of sugar.
| The only possible conclusion from
| this was that the liver was capable o
| manufacturing this form of sugar ou
of nonsugar containing material, o

A ctrcu. Horse In Battle.

Colonel Charles Marshall, who was
aid-de-camp to General Robert E.
Lee and who went through the battles
Of the war with his chief, told the roi-
lowing amusing story Of his experience
with a new horse: His old horse hao
been shot from under him In the ngnt
of the previous day, and he had taken
nossession of an animal that seemed
TO suit the work. In the battle 1eW
hours later he was riding across nelo
In which there were numerous stumps'
Suddenly the performance opened.
The guns roared and the air was filled
with smoke and noise. Before Colonel
Marshall knew what was happening
tho horse had his four feet on one OF
the stumps and was gayly dancing in
= circle. In the mean time the firing
was increasing. and the situation was
ANYTHING but comfortable, but the
horse kept on as IL he were enjoying IL

IMPRISONMENT AND TAXES.

The tax office dies hard. 1t is going
thirteenth day of June. Though the
iniquity of the system has been shown
again and again, though it has been
clearly pointed out that because a man
failed to pay his taxes he was not
criminal to be classed with murderers
and thieves, and though the law was
one which was applied to the poor, and
not to the rich, it has remained the
sheet anchor of the Honolulu tax Of
fee When it was attacked last year,
and a case won against the tax col
lector, the whole office nearly had
fit. The most dire results were proph-
esied.
The United States Congress showed
it's view of the matter by inserting a
clause in the Territorial bill that no per-
son should suffer imprisonment for nom
payment of taxes. This was empha-
Cullom reported the bill after revision,
several Senators pointedly asked
whether that clause had been retained,
and when informed that it had been,
asked no further questions.
The bill was signed on April 80, but
does not become a law until June IA.
One would have thought however, that
seeing how earnest in the matter Con-
gress was, the tax collector would
have waived this Objectionable feature
in the present law. Nothing of the
kind. Only yesterday a Japanese was
hauled before Judge Wilcox for this
heinous crime. 1t is just a week before
the Territorial law takes effect; there is
time for several hundred of Mr.. Shaw's
blank warrants to be filled in. Wen,
Americanism sweeps this iniquity
away.
