FOUR FEET OF COBALT.

Perhaps one Of the most interesting
mineral discoveries in eastern Oregon is
that of four-foot vein of cobalt. This
discovery was recently made in the
property of the Standard Mining COM
pany, composed of Portland people,
which is opening up promising ledge
carrying gold, copper and silver on Dixie
creek.
AS far as known, this Is the only dis
covery of extensive cobalt deposits made
in the state. The question that confronts
the company owning this property, how
ever, is where to find market for this
metal. While cobalt is used extensively
in the arts and in the manufacture Of
dyes. producing a bright purple coloring
matter, its use Is confined almost exclu-
sively to Europe. In this country there
is but one manufacturing plant using
oxide of cobalt and that is the American
Nickel Works, at Camden, N. j. This
company obtains it's cobalt from Canada
in the shape Of nickel matte, and uses it
only in connection with the manufac-
ture of nickel. There is no nickel mixed
with the cobalt found In eastern Oregon,
Whether or not this nickel factory can
use this pure cobalt found here is there
fore question.
The ledge in which the four foot vein
Of cobalt is found in eastern Oregon Is
from 40 to so feet in width. 1t is already
opened by a 236-foot tunnel, and two
crosscuts. and shows up a magnificent
body of figh-grade refractory ore. Con-
siderable of the ore from this mine was
run through the Sumpter snelter dur
| ing the past summer. There are at pres
| ent four men at work in the property.

'Ine amounts SHOWN IN the flSnL mana
column represent what Mr. Amin re-
ceived in cash for his produce. The
Northern Pacific railway and the North
ern Pacific Express companies received
benefits in handling the produce to the
consumers.
This is only one of great many in
stances, and there is room in the Mon
tana valleys for more such settlers.
There is a station on the Northern
Pacific railway in Montana called Plains
which would indicate that this is not a
good place for produce, yet some of the
best apples to be had are raised there
I do not think finer baking or cooking
apples could be found anywhere. I also
had splendid large, fresh strawberries
from Plains, Mont, on my table as late
as the latter part of September.
"There is one ranch in Montana that in
the course of a couple of years will fur
nish us not less than 100000 boxes of ap-
pies.
I'VE have handled twice as many ap-
pies this year as we did last year, prin-
cipally from Washington and Idaho, be-
ing largely from local points on the line
of the Northern Pacific railway.
"There is also forwarded from points
near Plains, Mont, this season more than
one hundred car loads of horses, for sale
at South st. Paul and other points. The
war in Africa caused a great shortage of
horses in the East, and large shipments
from the West during the present year.

says the Pioneer Press. These figures
show that. while the Far West has devel-

1.-THE Northern Pacific management has
spared no pains to increase the business
at local points along our line during the
past seven or eight years, ana are now
receiving in freight earnings some OF the
benefits resulting from these enorts. It
is safe to say that during the past year
or two not a single passenger tram mas
been sent out for the West from the
union depot over the Northern Pacine
which did not contain number OF emil
grants, some trains having fifteen twen-
ty or thirty, and some trains fun car
loads. These settlers. or immigrants, are
going West to take up and improve newE
lands, or launch into some enterprise.

The change of service in the Oregow
Short Line has been most satisfactory
one. both in regard to comfort and the
saving of time and the officials say that
their service between Butte and Chicago
cannot be beaten by any of the roadse
The train that leaves Butte at a. m, j,
connects with the Chicago-Portland spe-
cial at Pocatello at II a. M and makes
the distance between Butte and Chicago
in Sc hours, which is a saving of about II
hours over the old time. Previously the
connection was made with the Union Pa
cific at Ogden, a route that took the trav-
eler many more miles than the present
route The Chicago Portland special runs
over the o. r. & N. tracks from Port
land to Huntingdon: over the Oregon

from Granger to Council Bluffs, and over
the Chicago & Northwestern tracks from
Council Bluffs to Chicago. Each Of the
lines mentioned supplies its proportion of
cars and there is no change along the
run. -.

The total gain of six average states
during the past ten years has been 1.703,-
1876. The total gain of the six Northwest
ern states through which the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern operate has
been only 1042,45S, so that, while the
Northwest has been building up steadily.
these states mentioned are deficient in
their proportion of the increase by 720,-
942-nearly three-quarters of a million
In other words. the six Northwe estern
states have not maintained the average
of increase of six states.
The point brought out by these figures
is that while the Northwest is growing
rapidly, she is not getting her share of
new settlers. She is not growing in pc ,
ulation as fast as the Eastern and more
populous states. This is one Of the ar
guments advanced by the Northern roads
for continuing in force the homeseekers'
rates.
