MINING IN EARLY DAYS
Gold Output Of Oregon and
Washington 100000.

In the Oregon and Washington Ala.
manac for the year 1863 appears the fol.
lowing concerning the mining region Of
Oregon and Washington at that time:
"The development Of the mining re.
sources Of that portion Of Oregon and
Washington situated east of the Cascade
range Of mountains has led to the rapid
settlement Of that region, and as many
persons will doubtless visit that region
during the present year, we deem It both
interesting and important to insert as
much information regarding the auriferous
region as can be condensed within a lin.
tied space.
"During the past two years, both rich
and extensive gold mines have been sue.
cessfully worked along the banks Of the
John Day and Powder rivers in the vicin.
ity Of Salmon river, the Nez Perces
county, the Bitter Root Valley, Orc Fino
and other sections Of that locality. The eli.
mate In the Powder river country Is much
more favorable for continuous mining
operations than any other portion Of the
auriferous region, as miners can work In
the Powder river mines earlier In the
spring and later In the winter, than those
engaged in other localities. Aside from
these advantages, the valleys Of Powder
river and John Day river are being settled
by enterprising agriculturalists, who will
be able to supply the mining population Of
that section with all the necessary edibles.
I'VE have no statistical information
upon which to base safe calculation as
to the exact amount Of gold extracted from
the mining regions Of Oregon and Wash.
ington during the past two years, but all
the knowledge we could procure upon this
important question has been condensed
into the following figures: Up TO Janu.
ary, 1862, Messrs. Wells, Fargo & Co.
shipped from their Portland Office Sso3,.
$3.50 In gold dust from the Salmon river
and other mines. Up to the same date,
20 leading mercantile houses Of Portland
shipped 1904 ,6o0.7s. During the same
period, Mr.. Agrell assayed, from MAY,
1867, to January, 1862, Sos,s67 making a
total Of 81, 20, 300 tor that period. This
estimate does not include any amount Of
gold dust which returning miners may
have carried out Of the county, which
would swell the amount to about
100000.
"During 1863, however, the mines in
Oregon and Washington began to be
developed, and the yield Of gold was much
larger than during the preceding six
months. Last year Messrs. Wells. Fargo
u Co. alone shipped through their ex.
press to San Francisco, nearly $4,000, 900,
and It Is safe to estimate the shipment
from all other sources combined at an equal
amount"

NEW ICE MAN IN TOWN
THEO. HOFFMAN HAS BEGUN
OPERATIONS.
Is Erecting a Plant on Cyclomere Site
and Will be Ready to Deliver Ice
Within Three Months.

New ice works will be in operation
within three months. Theo. Hoffman is
the man who would not only like to be
the iceman but who is actually going
to be. He began the work of construct
ing his buildings this morning.
Mr.. Hoffman has secured a location
on the site of the old Cyclomere park
Hustace avenue, Kewalo, 100 by $50
feet in area. Here he will put up an
ice making plant and cold storage The
ice making plant is to be put in first
and workmen are at work on the build
ing today. 1t is to be so by rs feet, one
story high, and so arranged from de-
signs prepared by Mr.. Hoffman himself
as to produce ice on the most economi-
cal basis. This building will be used ex-
clusively for ice making. The cold stor-
age building will come later.
An order for the very latest distilling
and filtering apparatus has already
gone forward and will be here within
sixty days, and the concern will be
ready to begin operations and deliver
ice within ninety days, Mr.. Hoffman
says. The water to be used will be
from the Hustace artesian WELL and
Mr.. Hoffman promises pure ice and full
weight.
Besides the ice and cold storage bust
ness, Mr.. Hoffmans concern will carry
full stock of electrical supplies, do
house wiring and install electric plants.
The cold storage plant will embody
all the latest improvements and devices
and will be thoroughly up to date.

IHE APPROPRIATION BILL

The decision of the Cabinet that the
appropriations of last period were dup
Heated in case there was not session
of the Legislature has aroused consider
able discussion in town. There is
feeling that such situation would be
better, in the public interest, but law
yers and others express doubt as to
the legality of such a condition.
It may be explained that the Cabinet
thinks that of the legislature does not
meet at all, the old appropriation bill
of the 1S9S-1900 period is duplicated for
the period beginning with January 1,
1900, and the money on the new dupli-
Gated appropriation is available as soon
as the time for meeting of the legisla-
ture has passed and there has been no
session.
The law is that in case the legislature
fails to pass an appropriation budget
the budget of the last period shall be
duplicated by the Executive and the old
bill is continued in effect for another
period of two years.
That law was passed." explained
prominent member of the legislature
this morning, Ito ward bad situation
in the matter of finances in case of q
dead lock in the legislature on the ap-
r.ropriation bill. We felt that there
might come a time when factions We're
about evenly divided and there would
be such pull-hauling that no appropri-
alton bill could get through. On ac-
count OF that the clause perpetuating
the bill, in case of failure to pass a
new bill, was put in.
Il did not have in mind at the time
a contingency of this sort In fact do
not imagine anyone thought of period
in which the legislature might not meet
at all. Certainly it was not contemplate
ed under our old political situation and
something entirely unexpected. that of
the delay in the extension of American
laws, has brought it about.
"Of course If the legislature does not
meet something will have to be done.
And it may be just as well for every
body to stand by the ruling of the Cabi-
net Ministers in the matter"
