heart disease. The coroner was sent for
and he came out Sunday, but no inquest
was held here. It Is said that there were
some symptoms which might indicate that
some other cause than heart disease led to
his death. The remains were taken to
Baker City for interment. He had not
been In good health for some months
past. He had been placer mining here
since the early sixties; had a wide circle
Of acquaintances and was popular with
all. He was native Of Scotland and
was over sixty years Of age. His early
life was spent on the sea, which avoea'
ton he abandoned during the gold ex'
element In California and has followed
mining ever since. His will Is be.
Ing probated In Baker City today. The
instrument has been read to his relatives,
and II Is learned that he leaves the greater
portion Of his estate to his nephew,
Thomas Downie, and his niece, Euphe'
mia Brown. His sister, Harriet Tuition,
who lives In Canada, Is given IN acres
of land near Baker City; numerous old
country relatives small sums Of money,
and the First Presbyterian church Of
Sumpter SIoo. The value Of the estate
has not been estimated. Frank l..
Moore, of Baker City, Is made executor
and his partner, DR.. J. r. Dickson, OF
Portland, sole trustee, being given full
control Of the joint property. Mrs.
Downie. the wife, died about year ago,
leaving no children.

DIVIDEND FOR APRIL.
Sumpter Townsite Co. Declares
Third in Three Months.

Elsewhere the SiMPTER MINER to-
day Is published notice Of another divi'
dend declared by the Sumpter Townsite
Company, Limited. This is the third In.
terim dividend paid. In February one OF
, Der cent was declared, In March per
cent and for April another Of 2 per cent;
? per cent In three months, or at the rate
Of 20 per cent annually.
It Is understood, though not officially,
that all Of these dividends are, virtually,
.'yelvet;" that the money originally In
vested by the stock holders was returned
TO them before any dividend was de-
clared and that they are now receiving
net profits on their fortunate investment.
The company still owns much the
larger portion Of its original holdings, all
valuable property Immediately joining the
original townsite, that Is daily increasing
in value. And 1t Is increasing In value
for that best Of all reasons, that the ligiti'
mate demand continues, unabated.
One Of the unusual features OF the
activity In Sumpter real estate has been,
from the start, that scarcely any OF It has
been bought for purely speculative pur'
poses. It has been sold to people who
wished to build homes and business
houses for themselves; or to rent, as
permanent investment. For this reason
there has been practically no Auctuation
in values, the change being gradual
steady advance-a condition rarely mel
with In boom towns.

Japa1 and Camphor.

Within year the camphor trade Of
the world has become monopoly. The
trees which yield this fragrant and
useful gum are to be found ali over
Asia and the East Indies, but the prin-
cipal production from them is confined
TO the Island of Formosa, which be
longs to Japan. China was never able
to furnish more than 100000 pounds
a year, and Japan now produces about
100000. Formosa's annual output for
several years past has been between
G,OO0. 900 and 100000 pounds. Little
is to be had at present from any other
source. and there is no prospect of any
change in the situation for long time
to come.
In deciding TO exercise control over
the production of camphor, Japan has
been actuated by two motives. In the
first place, she wants to obtain revenue
therefrom. as France does from the
match and cigar industries. But she
also seeks to avert the killing Of the
goose which lays the golden eggs for
her. In other words, she has under
taken to protect the camphor forests,
which were in danger of extinction.

use the cipher themselves. AS q rule,
they have some minor functionary at

work is all done by an outside hire
