MINING NOTES,

The excellent conditions existing in
the Occur d'Alenes are we'll illustrated
by the enormous daily out put of the
principal mines. The average per
diem production from the 10 leading
producers is approximately about as
lows:-Bunker Hill Sullivan, 1000
tons; Morning, 700 tons; Frisco, $50
tons; Standard, 700 tons, Tiger-Poor-
man, 500 tons; Mammoth, 800 tons;
Hunter, 200 tons; Last Chance, 200
tons; Hecla, $50 tons; Silver King,
60 tons-A total of 1850 tons.
A letter from the foreman of the Lily
mine. received by President M. A. De-
huff yesterday, told of big strike in
the mine which will put in a promi-
nent place among Washington produ-
GERS if future developments keeps up
the magnificent showing that has just
been made. The strike is of a high
grade free milling ore 20 feet wide at
1856 feet in depth, and assaying from
$40. 20 to $17S.75 in gold. The work
on the Lily for some time has been the
running of cross-cut tunnel to explore
the six lodges on the property. No.
ledge was cut some time ago 1856 feet
in. 1t was ten feet wide, with four
feet Of good milling ore. Drifts were
run rs feet both ways, and the good
value and the amount of the ore was
found to continue uniform. The pres
emit strike is the second ledge. 1t was
first encountered several days ago at
AIS feet in. Work was driven ahead
to find it's width with all haste, and
the reaching of the opposite wall with
20 feet of ore has just been made. IL
assays were made across the cut, and
the lowest was 5000 with the next
1922. 80. The foreman, according to
Thomas L. Brophy, the consulting en-
gineer for the company, is conserva-
tive and experienced miner, and his
statements are thoroughly reliable,
even under the excitement of so import
ant find.
One of the most important and valu-
able discoveries that has been made in

riot. The discovery was made in an

worked out, but which was very rich
in early days. The ground has been
washed to clay bed many years ago.
This was supposed to be bed rock.
While rigging out the roots of petri-
fed tree, a prospector recently discov-
cred bed of gravel lying underneath
the clay. On prospecting the gravel,
1t was found to contain large quanti-
ties of gold. A nugget weighing 1884
was taken out two days ago, and sever
al smaller ones, weighing from SIS to
$51 have been found. The mine is one
and half miles east of the Bonanza
quartz ledge.
Reports of rich strike in the Home
stake and Nonpariel claims, owned by
Wilson, Robinson, Johnson and Benson,
came down to Baker City from the
North fork of the John Day river last

north of the Red Boy and Concord
mines. Returns from the surface
gave average values of IS per ton. The

ANTITRUST CONVENTION.

A National Anti Trust Conference
will be held in the city of Chicago,
on Llncoln's Birthday, Feb. II,
1900, and we are in receipt of of the
Declaration and Cali for the meeting
from the Chairman of the Executive
Committee, NJ. L. lockwood, of Eel
ienople, Pa. The purpose Of the
Convention is to permanently organ
ize an Anti-T movement.
This movement IS described in the
circular letter is certainly "hercu-
lean task" and we are very curious
to see just how the Convention will
solve the problem. There is no
doubt that the sentiment of the coun-
try is against the Trusts, but so far
10 one has discovered any feasible
or practicable way to clip their wings.
Perhaps, Icarian like, in soaring too
high, they may lose their feathers
and come tumbhng down, plunging
themselves and as many as they can
bring with them, into an ocean of
ruin.
While they are doing the soaring
with watered stock and fictitious val
ues, it would be well for every plan
to be- considered and devised for the
defeat of the common enemy, who,
if left alone in their lniquitous course
will surely plunge our country into
slavery, slavery, which even
now, has gone too far IN its conSum-
nation. Let us not permit onr lib
erty, which is the envy Of all nations,
become laughing stock.

TO IMPROVE THE RIVER.

Newell Sanders, President of the
Tennessee River Improvement ASso-
citation, writes us that there will be
a meeting of the Association in
Knoxville, Jan. 10, 1900, to ask
Congress to make an appropriation
this session as it is possible no action
can be taken until the next long
session two years hence, if this oc-
casion is omitted.
We are heartily IN favor Of any
thing which can be done to improl e
rivers, the peoples highways, Their
development means cheaper trans
portation of raw material and manu-.
featured products. and the develop
ment Of portions of country, which
are not touched by railroads and
hardly ever will be.
We are requested to organize a
meeting in the interest of the move
ment and appoint delegates, but in
view of the fact that the people
here are disguised with the negli-
gence and Indifference manifested by
those who financially are most inter
ested in the development of the Val
ley and this section, we do not think
they could be induced to express any
opinion. The fact that on former
occasion the Big Sequachee River
was inspected by railway train, and
the project was declared not feasible.
(the railroad track does not APP
proach the river until it is dwarfed
in size) has also had the effect of a
cold DOUGH of water upon their en-
thusiasm.
For this question of river improve
ments we wish all the success POSI-
bic, and it would be a great adver-
tisement to the Valley if we could
cay the business enterprise of its
principal owners, was such as to in
fuence the Government to make APP
priation for Improvement of rivers.
Meantime less favored localities
will get the plums, and Sequachee
Valley citizens will wonder why.
Work for the improvement of the
Tennessee River, gentlemen, and the
News will aid you all it can, even if
there be no very great benefit to Ma
rion County aud the rest of the Val.
ley.
