AROUND MINERSVILLE.
Some Splendid Prospects Being
Opened in This District.

}. N. McPhee. a well known prospector
and mining man about Sumpter, has with
his partner, W. E. Runner, Of Spokane,
been prospecting the country about Min.

visit here last week he brought with him
various samples from prospects they had
located, and from which they are very
sanguine of good results, the surface crop.
pings showing splendid values, running
from $3.50 to SIo3.76 in gold.
One piece of rock brought In hy Mr..
McPhee carries good sprnkling Of free
gold and was greatly admired by several
prominent mining men who examined it.
The best values are said to he found on
the east and the west forks of Alder
creek and on Baboon creek, tributaries Of
Deer creek, about two and one.half miles
northwesterly from the old MinersvilIe
camp and four and one.half miles north
from McEwen.
Johnson, Smith 4 Ross constitute a
partnership concern owning some Of the
best claims on Baboon creek, which they
are now developing with good results.
One Of their tunnels has ore that has Civ.
en- several assays of $40 to s22, while SIo
values can be had across any part OF the
face of the tunnel.
While most everything is in gold values
in the entire section, there is one claim
opened from which twenty ounces Of sil.
yer values is found and $40. in gold.
There is every reason to believe that
some big mines will be made in or about
the Minersville camp, rs every one who
has any practical ideas on the subject
think the rich placers surrounding the
district are fed from the quartz lodges
thereabouts.

Tallmadge Plaeers Working Full Force.

r. W. TaIlmadge came in from
Sparta n few days ago after his family,
who will s)end the summer at the scene Of
his placer mining operations near there.
In speaking Of the mines, Mr.. Talmadge
said the outlook was never brighter. He
put second giant" at work just before
he left the mine and will add third in a
few days. There are now ten men EN-.
ployed in the mine which force will be con.
sideredably increased as soon as the other
giant" is put in working order. One
advantage, and big one it is too, that
the Tallmadge placers have over the ma.
jority of such mines Is that the water
supply is unlimited. The mines could be
worked the year around il itwere not for
the freezing weather during the coldest Of
the winter months, which causes the water
to freeze and overflow the bitches. The
water supply isfrom Eagle creek, through
the famous Eagle canal. Last years
cleanup amounted to several thousand
dollars in gold nuggets, and this season it
is expected TO he even greater. There is
rich ground sufficient to keep the pipes
running for several years.-Baker City

Perhaps there is no camp in the Granite

than in the Red Bov. At the famous Red

years operated stamp mills in southern
Oregon, upon making an inspection OF
the Red Boy mill several days ago, pro.
nounced 1t the finest plant he had evei
seen, not excepting even in the Treadwell
In Alaska. The large cyanide plant
wyich he was shown through the courtesy
Of Supt. Meikle, also proved Of great in
terest to him. While the mill continues
to merrily grind away at the rate Of per.

more interest centers IN the preparations
for deep sinking at the Red Boy. The

BAD NEWS CONFIRMED
 BY ADMIRAL kEMPFF
Continued From First Page).

this afternoon of Secretary Hay and Sec retary Hitchcock, taken in connection with the fact that Secretary Long had been in conference early in the day with the Sec retary of State, led to the circulation. of rumorS that important developments were to be expected connected with the strength ening of the United States forces now in China. These rumors, however, were speed fly set at rest by the statement from one of the participants that the conference had nothing to do with Chinese affairs but re- lated to some Indian troubles in the North west. Secretary Root did not hesitate to enter specific denial of some of the sen- sational stories which are persistently cir culated every day regardless of facts
 He said that he had not ordered any troops to China beyond the Ninth Infantry from Manila, now on the way to Taku, and possibly the Sixth Cavalry, about to start from San Francisco for Nagasaki. The destination of the latter would depend upon developments. He said he had not ordered the Fourth and Eeighteenth to China, as had been reported in some quarters, nor had he made the slightest preparations for their departure.
 Respecting the withdrawal of troops from Cuba the secretary saids he did not know which regiment would be first brought home. General Miles and General Wood were trying to settle that question there
 
 withdrawals would be based strictly upon the order in which regiments had gone to Cuba or upon other considerations such as the conditions of their service and the need at home for cavalry or infantry organza- tions. Secretary Long contradicted the re- port that the New Orleans was to be sent to Taku or elsewhere in China, and added that he did not intend to send out any ship to make up the deficiency caused by the disaster to the Oregon.
 At the State department it was said that all that had been done to add to the strength of the force which General Chaf- fee will command will be confined to the adoption of measures looking to the touch ing at some cable port on the Asatic side of the Pacific of some of the army regi- ments that are to be dispatched to the Phil ippines in order that they may be diverted to China if necessary However, not a sim gle organization has been ordered there nor has there been made an order to move troops out of Manila for the purpose of relieving volunteers.

GERMANY'S ATTITUDE
Question as to How She Will Seek
 Redress

Washington, July 2.-Germany's probable attitude and determination to seek redress for the nun der of her minister to China, as foreshadowed in the Associated Press dis patch from Berlin was viewed with much interest here, though no one was willing to express opinion on the subject for pub lication or to predict what might be the outcome of the position of Germany, out lined in the despatches. The Japanese le gation received today through the mail, a copy of Japanese newspaper containing an announcement of the murder of Akira Sugi Yama, the Chancellor of the Japanese Legation in China, which tragedy occurred before the killing of Baron Won Ketteler. The former was murdered outside the city of Pekin near railway station. Some surprise is expressed here in we'll informed circles over the apparently inexpliciable de- lay of the combined forces to move forward on Pekin. It is felt that if move is to be made toward the capital it should be done promptly. The note of alarm has been sounded, said a well known diplomat to- night and something should be done inn mediately. The force stationed at Tien Tsin is quite large and while number of Chinese imperial troops are located in and about the city, 1t is said that most of them are loyal to the government

GRUESOME WAVE
 AT HOBOKEN PIER Sixty-Seven of the Bodies Have
 Been Recovered, AND WORK STILL GOES ON All the Bodies So Far Recovered Were Caught on. Grappling Hooks,
 and Horrible Sight is
 Expected Later
AND WORK STILL GOES ON

New York, July 2.-SiXty-seven bodies of the victims of the Hoboken fire have been recovered. Each hour that passes will wit ness additional recoveries of bodies scared, maimed and burned beyond all semblance of humanity. And half has not yet been told, as all the bodies brought to the surface today were caught on grap- bling hooks About the first of next week the people will realize the appalling loss of life, as it will then be that bodies now lying at the bottom of the river will come to the surface of the water
 The list of missing is still placed a few below 300, and when the bodies begin float ing on the surface the gruesomeness of the situation will be realized. The bodies re- covered up to Il o'clock tonight include forty-one now in O'Donnells undertaking establishment in Hoboken; ten in Hoff- mans, same city; twelve in the morgue New York, and four on the decks of the Saale, which were recovered too late to be brought to the city. Of these, thirty-seven have been either positively or partly identi- fled, most of them, so far as has been discovered, being victims from the Saale.
 Superintendent Moeller of the North Ger man Lloyd line said tonight: "It is very hard now to tell what our losses amount to. Today we found 51 bodies around the piers. Most of them, so far as my infor- nation goes tonight, were from the Saale.
 Yesterday the great scenes of the fire were more on the big steamers that law burning on the river than at the docks, which were just pile of smoking ruins, but today when bodies began to be found in pairs, in groups of half a dozen, and then by the dozen, the scene that present. ed the most gruesome sight was at Hobo- ken pier Hundreds of thousands of people banked up in the streets all day long and watched with incredible interest the little groups of men that brought in bodies from the ends of the piers.
 The little procession usually consisted of only two solemn looking men bearing Q dead box covered with black tarpaulin. Up the street they picked their way, fol- lowed occasionally by men who had found the corpse. Thousands of small children were allowed in crowds to view the horrible spectacle, and women with babies in their arms craned their necks to get a glimpse of the sights from which most men turned their faces. Wagons carrying wooden cof- fins by the dozen and by scores added to the impressive horror of the picture. To OdonnelPs undertaking shop, which was the nearest to the scene of the fire, the wagons went
 The bodies were placed in a row in plain pine boxes, and in front of each box was a tag.

London, July 3.-3:30 a. m.-The allies are not advancing for the relief of Pekin. This announcement to the House of Commons retary of state for foreign affairs, was received with exclamations of astonish- ment and dismay.

 Mir. Frederick read the despatch received today and said the total allied force available is now about 19,OO0 as troops have been rapidly arriving, adding: "We do not yet know what arrangements have been made locally regarding the command of an expedition, but it has not yet been thought possible to attempt a furher ad- vance. The consuls have been in com munication with the Vieeroys in the Kan Tse region and they are aware that sup port will be given them by Her Majesty's s government in preserving order. It is ob- viously impossible that the representatives of the powers at Pekin should be con suited as no communications are passing with them."

 Tt transpires that the recent mutiny at Shin Kakassa Fort, near Bona, was due to the abominable treatment of the sol diers wives by the Governor of the forts, who, when the women refused to do hard manual labor without pay had them strip ped and flogged until the blood ran down their bodies.
