the richest strike yet made near Prairie
City, oregon. was uncovered last week
on the George Washington group of
claims. situated three and one-half miles
north OF that place. There are three
claims In the group-the George Wash
ington, Minnie and Jim tplacefD. The two
FORMER are quartz claims, being owned by
Ward brothers and associates The own
ers have drifted on the George Washing
ton thirty-five feet TO the hanging wall
and have struck aItwenty-five inch vein
of free milling ore that goes SIS In gold
to the ton. They will now tunnel $50 feet
to strike the main ore body. From the
surface indications there is one of the
richest ore bodies yet found at the base
of this lode. Stringers run in all direc-
tons from which quantities OF coarse
gold can be panned, and 1t is presumed
that these str'ngers are fed from one
ore body. Prairie City was not known to
the mining world two months ago, but Of
late II has jumped into recognition as
being one OF the most lively places In
this district for its size.

FAVORABLE TO STRIKERS.
Three Additional COllieriex Close to
Want Of Men.


SHENANDOAH, Pa, Sept. 25.-The
few developments in the strike siuta-
ton since yesterday were favorable to
the strikers. Three additional cOllieries
were closed today in this region because
the number of men who reported for
duty was not sufficient to operate
them. They are the Park Place, Pres
ton No. and Lawrence colleries. The
Park Place workings were in operation
for. a short time today but could not
continue with the small force. In this
city but one colliery is working. That
is the Cambridge, which, according to
J. c.. McGinnis of the Cambridge Coal
company has it's full compliment OF
men.
Other collieries in the region that are
being worked are the Bast at Ashland; !;
Potts at Locustdale, Locust Spring at
Locust Gap and the North Franklin at
Treverton. The Bast colliery is said to
be short handed. ,.--.3
The English speaking mine workers
of this borough today formed a branch
of the United Mine Workers and two
hundred and fifty are said by Organ
izer George Harris to have Joined the
union. Mr.. Harris. in addressing the
men said that the presence of the mill
tia has given unexpected impetus to the
cause of organization. He also stated
that q, 900 of the $4,000 men workers in

TAKING PHOTOS BY SOUND,
Experiments Have Recently Been
Made by Scientists.


Very much has been done in the way
of obtaining Photographic, records Of
sound, on, the practical side Of this
question is an article by Benjamin F.
Sharpe When an unmiXed tone is re-
ceived in a Helmholtz resonator, in the
wall of which is inserted very thin
glass plate the natural pitch Of which
is not too different from the tone, the
plate vibrates to the tone with an am
p!itude having an ultimate relation to
the energy of the tone. Measurement
Of this amplitude becomes easy if the
vibrating plate is made to bear a tiny
mirror, which mirror forms, one element
of a system of mirrors constituting a
Micheison's refractometer.
So delicate is this means of in dica-
ton that a shifting of the mirror half
a wave length of light will cause such
a shifting to one side of the interference
bands that each dark band will take
the position previously occupied by the
next dark band. With telescope and
micremeter each band may with pro-
per adjustment be subdivided into 100
parts, giving a means of recording a
shift equal to as little as 1-200th of a
wave length. 1t need scarcely be said
that the rapid shifts thus produced by
tone can only be observed by some
such device as compounding the motion
with another at right angles, when
comparison with a tuning fork and the
making of Photographic records be-
comes possible, but for details, and for
some two dozen of the records thus OBJ
tained we must refer our readers to ma
ture The records show fork tones,
tones Of musical instruments, noises
and vocal sounds.

COmlnen nts From Newspapers Hereto
fore Opponents to Unions.
The New York Post, heretofore one
of the most radical of the opponents of
labor unions, speaking Of the anthra-
cite coal miners strike, has this to say:
The representatives Of the miners
have acted throughout with delibera-
ton, and have displayed their eager
ness to effect an adjustment through
conference. Surely the operators, if
they wished to avoid strike, have
carefully. concealed that wish from the
public, and they appear to have taken
no steps whatever looking toward con-
ciliation or anicable adjustment of

arbitration, and their real grievances
is not that their request has been re-
fused by the opera tors, but that it has
been ignored on the ground that the
organization of miners is third party
interfering with affairs with which it
has properly. no right to interfere"
! The New York paper well says that
neither the miners nor the public can
be expected to accept this view, for it
's a. mere quibble to urge that the
| United Mine Workers are third party.

LIKED HIS OWN LOOKS.
INGALLS, Was Apparently Proud O1
His Own Appearance.

Ingalls, Was Apparently frOuO OF
His Own Appearance.
The caricaturists never found any
difficulty in exaggerating the some
what singular appearance of the late
Senator Ingalls,. "He had the most
culiously shaped head ever saw in my
life" said an old reporter the other
day. From the brows up it appeared
to be almost cylindrical, and his fore
head was inordinately high. Under
this huge dome was a face which was
disproportionately small and tapered
down to a sharp, bony chin, making
him tremendously top heavy, especially
when he removed his hat. A full beard
would have restored the equilibrium,
just as it does with Secretary John
Hay, who is built on the same lines, but
I really believe Senator Ingalls, took
pleasure in accentuating his physical
peculiarities. and he wore moustache
and chin tuft that, il anything, in
creased the triangular effect. Another
proof of his love of oddity was the
way he dressed. AS everybody knows,
he was very tall and slim, but, in a
loose coat, that wouldn't have been par
ticularly conspicuous. Yet he never
wore anything but a close-fitting Eng
llsh frock, usually light brown in color
and buttoned up to the throat, winter
and summer. He was always exquis.
itely neat, but he looked so comically
like his caricatures that he seemed tC

The report of Labor Commissioner
McHale shows that nearly a thousand
more miners are employed in the mines
in this state than year ago, and that
the acreage has been largely increased
The mines now in operation cover an
area of 6,475 acres, and employ 1856
men, while last year 6,645 men We're
employed. There are Sc mines in the

MINERS s. DEMANDS d
SUMMED UI'sIN VERY FEW WORDS
JUST GRIEVANCES.
They Ask For Abolition of Truck
stores, Reduction Of Price Of Gum
Powder, Semi Monthly Pay Day.
Equitable Basis For Weight of
Coal, Increase in Wages From,
Ten to Twenty Per Cent.

At this date everything indicates a
ing mine districts. Fully 100000 men
are involved and at the close of the
second week the men stand as firmly
as they did on the first morning of the
strike. The officials of the miners
cautioned the men to be peaceful and
law abiding. This caution has been
observed in every quarter.
There was little unpleasantness last
week, but it was caused by the injudi-
ciousness of the public officials. There
is no doubt that the mine operators
would like to see property destroyed
and disorder reign, knowing full we'll
that in that lies their only hope for
success. The men are wise and alive to
their own interests. They know that
the public sympathizes with them,
and they wish to preserve that sympa-
thy. 80. -
During the week many questions
have have been asked as to the de-
mands of the miners. For the benefit
of all who wish to know we here sum
then up as follows: -. =:
First. The abolition Of truck stores
owned by the stores, at which the min
ers are forced to trade.
Second. Reduction in the price Of
powder from $2.75 to $3.50 per keg. -si.s-
Third. Observance Of the law that
the miners be paid in cash semi
monthly. vt-
| More equitable basis for weight of
coal on which ton rates are paid. ~
| Fifth. An advance of 20 per cent on
all wages less than $3.50 a day, and an
advance of Is per cent on wages be-
tween $3.50 and $1.75 day, and 10 per
cent on wages above $1.75 day. a.,
