GOLD IN OREGON.
Sensational Mining Strike Stories
From the Coast State.

PORTLAND, Or, Feb. 24.-"Gold
carrying some ore," is the way the
Sumpter miners speak of the product
of an ore chute just struck in the
Bonanza mine, Sumpter district, and
this expression ia not SO extravaganza
as might first be supposed, for the ore
referred to has given an assay of
"a 900 to the ton, and there is lots of it
While this Is the richest strike yet re-
ported from the Sunpter district, it is
but one of q trio of record breaking
finds made within the past week, and
one of a dozen reported within two
months. The result is vast and ever
increasing army of men from all parts
OF the northwest bound Sumpterwsrd
to seek their fortune.
The first of the trio of rich strikes
made within the past week was report
ed from the Diadem mine. The ore
there assayed 800 to the ton, and
when the news of the find reached the
camp there was a rush for the Diadem
and dozens OF claims were stalk ed in
the neigh borhood within day. THE
strike had scarcely passed into history
when one which totally ec1ipsed il was
Dollar group several miles away. In
this case one sample of ore a-sayed
$1,000 to the ton, aud the average val le
vas 500 to the ton. The Trade Dol
lar had been under bond, and the ops
tion had just expired when the owner
concluded to DO little prospecting on
his own responsibility. He had scarce
ly more than broken ground when he
| encountered the ore body with result 8
as stated, and the man who allowed
the option to lapse is now the sickest
individual in Sumpter. The organiza-
tion of company to develop the prop
erty wss the work of an hour, and by
nie ht Sl4 600 worth of stock had been
sold.
These occurrences were sufficient to
send dozens of miners, who had been
housed up at Supmter waiting for
spring, scurrying to the bills in the
vicinity of the two strikes in search of
claims, but the climax of the excite
ment came when the report rea he'd
the camp of the strike in the Bonac "a
mine of ore which showed values OF
$4,000 to the ton. The Bonanza is not
q new mine, but has long been famous
as q producer, and this strike as made
on the 20O-foot level. A deal is now
pending for the sale of this mine for
50 GOO. 600.
The frequent repetition of such
strikes as these furnish the reason
why Sumpter is gold crazy; why every
mau who can go to the hills aud look
for claim is doing it or preparing tC
do it; why not only mining property,
but common real estate in the neigh
borhood of Sumpter is held at sky high
prices, and why every train and stage
arriving in Sumpter IL pack ed to its
capacity with eager fortune hunters
| That this rush will attain stupeudout
proportions when spring opens nobody

A CHANCE FOR M0LINEUx.

There is a chance that Mohneux will be
granted a new trial-a very good chance.
The Sun of New York tells this story:
More than twenty years ago a woman
named Frances Shrouder, a resident of
Chitenango, Madison county, New York,
was arrested for the murder of her moth
er The charge was that she had admin
istered arsenic to her She was defended
by Gerrit A. Forbes, now a justice of the
Supreme Court of the state. During the
trial evidence was admitted that the wo-
mans father had died suddenly, and it
was suspected that he had been poisoned.
The body of the father was eXhumed and
arsenic was found in it. Then 1t was all
legged that an aunt of the accused woman
had died mysteriously, and evidence was
admitted to show that She too was the
victim of arsenic. The defendants coun-
sci protested against the admission of any
testimony relative to the father and aunt.
He declared it had nothing to do with the
case. He was overruied, however. and
the woman was convicted. The case was
appealed, and the niger court sustained
the contention that evidence relative 20
properly admitted. There was therefore
a new trial granted.
Mohneux was convicted of poisoning a
woman named Adams. The state intro
duced evidence that a man named Barnet
had died from poison like that given 10
the Adams woman. Its contention was
that Molineux had poisoned Barnet as well
as Mrs. Adams. The theory of the state
was that Mrs. Adams was poisoned by
mistake; that the poison she took was in
tended for man named Cornish. The
death of Barnet was introduced to show
a motive for the sending of a poison pack
age 10 Cornish. The theory of the state
was that NIolineux got rid of his enemies
by means of a poison which he knew how
to manufacture. He poisoned Barnet, il
was claimed, because of his attentions to
the woman Molineux subsequently, mar
RED and he hated Cornish because of
trouble between them growing out of the
affairs of the club with which both were
connected. II is assumed that Judge
Forbes, having taken the position in the
case of the Shrouder woman that it was
improper TO introduce evidence TO show
that she had poisoned her father and her
aunt, as well her mother, will take the
position, when the Molneux case reaches
the Supreme Court, that evidence of the
death of Barnet by poison was inadmis-
able. If the higher court should rule that
way, it is doubtful if it would be possible.
in the event of a new trial to convict
MohneuX again. The tragic death of Bar
net played quite a prominent part in the
MolneuX case.

and that Col. Baden-Powell has not a

spirit in the Ladysmith garrison conceiv-
ed a plan for inducing the Beers to waste

the damage was hastily repaired, and

that all was not right, they ceased firing
after a time, whereupon, to comfort the
Boer gunners, an ambulance party went
over to the kopje and returned with some
of its members as KILLED and wounded

ment over the way in which the slim
Boer had been tricked into a waste of pre-
cious ammunition.

A WARNING TO TAXPAYERS.

The address Of Controller Coler of New
York, before the Merchants Association
of that city last Friday night, contains
warning for the taxpayers Of every city in
the country. 1t is. Of course, true that
there are not very few cities in which
there are deliberate attempts, as in New
York, to loot the city treasury, but in
many, if not the great majority, Of them
there are abundant evidences Of wasteful
and even reckless management
Mr. Coer called attention to the Third
Avenue Street Railroad. as a text for mis-
remarks. A year ago the stock Of that
road was selling at $50 per share, the par
value being 500. Last week il was placed
in the hands of a receiver and there is
a prospect that it will be declared to be
bankrupt The charge is that it has been
outrageously mismanaged-that, in fact.
it has been looted. Whether it has been
looted or not. it has been SO badly man
aged that it is now overwhelmed with
debt Many people, owners of the stock,
who a month ago thought they were in
comfortable circumstances, if not wealthy,
suddenly found themselves last week on
the edge Of poverty.
The point that Mr. Coler made in his
address was that the taxpayers of a city
are just as much stockholders in the city
in which they dive as the owners of the
shares of the Third Avenue road are
stockholders in that corporation, and that
if they 10 not watch their interests they
are likely TO see their cities bankrupted
He pointed out that the stockholders in
the city of New York contented them
selves with grumbing, when they ought
to be protesting at the ballot box and in
every other way against the outrageous
ly bad management of the city's affairs.
lie declared that there seemed to be a SCI
tied purpose to loot the city under the
forms of law.
There was, he said, no opposition in the
State Legislature TO bills which had for
their object the looting of the city's treas
ury, but that it was impossible TO set
any attention paid to bills that were in
tended to protect the city's interests. He
pointed out the bills for the city's welfare
that were pending and named those which
were intended 10 facilitate raids on the
treasury, The former are resting quietly
in the committees to which they were re-
ferred and there they are likely to remain,
while the latter are slipping rapidly
through both houses, nobody apparently
having objection to them.
1t is the duty of every citizen to look
after the welfare of his city and state. If
he fails to do so the chances are in favor
of his having to pay dearly for his neg
lect If he remains indifferent or re-
fuses to take any part in municipal, county
or state politics incompetent and thor
oughly unfit men are certain 10 get into
places of power where they will have the
making and administering of the laws.
They will look after their own interests
and fill their pockets at the expense of the
people.

when Paderewski Played.

musician, according co The New Orleans
Times-Democrat but he is personally one

his bachelor days he enjoyed nothing bet
ter than TO sit down with a few other
good fellows and throw off all the re-
straint and conventionalities that natural
ly hedge about a great artistic parsonage.
That reminds me, by the way, of an anus
ing incident During PaderewSki's last
American tour a friend of mine, who is
one of his most ardent Worshippers, hap
pened to be in certain Southern city dur
ing his local concert engagement and was
overjoyed at receiving an invitation,
through the manage of the Opera House,
to meet the artist in his private car after
the entertainment Do you think it pos
sfble he would play for us?' asked my
friend knowing he had a fine piano on the
car Sure? said the manager; that's ex-
acty what we're going there for The
prospective guest could hardly control his
excitement, and sharp at the appointed
time he was at the stage door, where he
was presently introduced 10 Paderewsli
and several other gentlemen. "a The party
proceeded to the musicians handsome
private coach, which was standing on
siding at the depot, and an hour or so
was passed in delightful desultory chat.
Then somebody cleared off a table, some
body else prepared the necessary para
phernalia and all hands were invited to
sit down to a friendly game of nickel ante.
My friend was nothing loath and they had
a pleasant seance, although he was con-
siderly disappointed at the absence
of any music and realized that the man
ager had had little joke at his expense.
l was told the story at the time, and
later on was strongly inclined to guffaw
when 1 heard him relating 10 lady at a
dinner party how he had visited Pade-
rewski in his private car and how the
great pianist had played for him for over
two hours. Did you notice his wonderful
hands?' asked the lady, rapturously. Yes
he replied; they were very remarkable
especially at the jackpots, he added, soto
voce, as he caught my eye"
