MINING MACHINERY COMBINE.
Ineludes Four Of the Big Concerns With q
. Capital Of $2sy000y 900.

Mining men are looking forward with
much interest to the consolidation Of the
different companies which make mining
machinery. Advices from Chicago say
that the immense new corporation will
probably be organized In about ten days,
when It will take possession Of the field.
The new trust, which Is expected to
have a capital Of S2s.ooo. 900, may be
known either as the American Engineer.
Ing company or as the Allls. Chalmers.
Gates corporation.
II will take over the four firms that at
present practically control the market for
mining machinery-the e. P. Allis com.
pany, Of Milwaukee, famous oil over the
world for high class engines; the Frazer
& Chalmers company. Of Chicago. the
leader In concentrating and milling ma.
chinery; the Gates Iron works. Of Chi.
cago, which has won q high reputation
for Its crushing machinery. and the Dixon
Manufacturing company. Of Scranton,
Pa, which turns out pumps Of all dlserip.
tons. It Is believed that the new trust
will eentralize Its efforts by having each
plant turn out chiefly the particular type
Of machinery for which II has made q
standard. Thus the Allis branch would
make engines almost exclusively, and the
Gates plant would turn out crushers.
All Of the firms except the Dixon COM
pany have agents In Spokane. 1t Is sup
posed the agencies will be consolidated
Into one large bureau.

Marshall says the mining outlook In the
Susanville camp Is exceedingly bright.
The Badger mine Is employing about 20
men and several girls are also employed
sorting ore. In few days teams will
commence hauling the ore to Sumpter,
from where 1t will be shipped to the smelt.
er at San Francisco. This ore runs as
high as $500 to the ton and continues to
get richer as depth Is attained.
The Stockton claim, owned by Ames &
Simmons, and adjoining the Badger,
shows up good. Work was commenced
on this claim last week with small force
Of men. In short time larger force will
be put to work. Most Of the ore from this
claim Is sufficiently rich to ship to San
Francisco, averaging about $50 to the
ton.
The Empire mine, lying due north Of
the Badger, a distance Of about a half
mile, has lately resumed operations. A
shaft Is being sunk and from tests made
last fall with an arastra, flattering results
were obtained.
Hughes & Co.. Of Washington, have
lately purchased the Stevenson claims
and will start operations In about week,
The claims showed up remarkably well

SURPRISES IN MINING.
History Of the Industry Long Series Of
Unexpected Happenings.

t1Dtofy OF tne Ioo0Stfy Long oerses OF
Unexpeeted Happeninss.
The placer gold strike at Republic and
resulting rush Is fresh reminder that
Nature guards closely her treasure vaults.
For five years hundreds Of prospeetors
and miners have passed over the aurifer.
Gus ground, and from 1000 to 1000 people
have resided within rifle shot, but coarse
cold was not considered possibility.
Extensive development for 20, 30 and
even 20 years has not exhausted the sur.
prises Of western mining camps. Forty.
two years ago Leadville, Colorado, was a
booming placer camp. When the plaeers
gave out the miners abandoned the place.
Twenty years later the old camp "boom.
ed" as never before. Carbonates had
been struck, and It was learned that the
deserted camp contained such silver
wealth as the world had not known since
the days Of the Comstock. Fifteen or
twenty years later Leadville developed
still other surprises In Its gold belt.
A number Of the old gold camps Of Col.
orado, are still producing their millions
after a. years Of continuous yielding.
Similar surprises are written In the an.
nails Of Northwestern mining. Nearly 10
years ago the government Of British Co.
Iumbia built a trail to accommodate the
movement to the Wild Horse plaeers In
East Kootenay. It ran across the out.
skirts Of the present town Of Rossland.
Thousands Of gold hunters travelled this
trail, within rifle shot Of quartz ledges
which could not be bought today for SIo,.
100000.
The Coeur d'Alenes have their sur.
prises. Large part Of the dividends which
make these camps noted come from ore
bodies In claims adjacent to the famous
old producers-claims whose titles are
scarcely known to the public or the min.
Ing world. It took IS years Of stupendous
development to demonstrate the value Of
these adjacent claims. From great depths
In the old workings the diamond drill
was pushed long distances into the eoun.

pierced.
All Of which proves that we have not
begun to exhaust the mineral wealth Of
the Pacific northwest. Nature has laid
before US great volume, and we have
read but a page or two. In these vast
mineral mountains there Is undreampt Of

Ill the visible supply and Then rush up
the prices until the.s were doubled. and
in some sections trinlrd. over that of
ordinary years. Here comes in the
remedy:
AT this stage Of the game President
Diaz took hand He caused an inves-
tigation, ard then issued proclamation
suspending the import duty on corr.
Having opened the door for the rcllet Of
the stringency. he sent message to con
gress giving his reasons for removing the
duty which was practically prohibilory.
His agents had found on investigating.
that there WAS corn enough in the coun.
try for all pressing needs. and that il was
not the scarcity which had SO raised
prices. but the action Of the dealers. The
congress acted upon the presidents
recommendations and law was passed
allowing all the corn needed to b.
brought in free Of duty. and at the cost
of the public treasury, for sale at cost,
or even less, until the home market price
in theinterlOr ofthe country fell to So
per hectoiter which is equivalent TO
about $3.50 per bushel in Mexican mon
ey, and the railroads have cut their grain
rates so Ms to enable them to take advan-
lage of the market thus thrown open ia
American corn.
II we could turn President Diaz loose
on some of our trusts, there might be a
substantial, though not legal, equaliza-
ton of affairs.

THE ARID LANDS.

One Of the great problems which tn,
unileri States Is now facing. is the ques-
tion, What shall be done with our arid
landsY
For years the Great American Desert
has been barrier to overcome To the
western pioneer the question was how 10
cross it; 10 the settler Of the goth century
The question is how TO subdue it, TO cou-
quer It's untamed waste, TO reach its
beautiful heart. II is thing of poten
tiaIity, waiting for some magic touch TO
waken il from its long sleep
Private enterprise has m lde crude hol-
lows in It's sands, but its few creations Of
house and field are lost in the vastness of
the millions of acres yet unclaimed
They hold TO It's grand extent but the
proportion Of a pin head to pyramid.
an ininitesimal something TO an Infinite
llimitableness.
The subsection Of the vast arid plains
call for vast cooperative organization,
working effectively and logically To one
end, and there is no such organization,
with the required $, ope and unseifish
ends, but the government of the United
States. Our western senators and repre-
sentutives. realizing this, are working
ihdefatigably and harmonously to this
eud. Senator Dubois of Idaho. will pro
pose,atthe Coming session OF congress
THAT all receipts Of public land sales,
over and above expenses, shall be devoted
to the development Of the Great Desert,
TO the building of great reservoirs and
the construction of large canals. The
idea is an excellent QUE and with It's
success homes will be given to millions
of people. and the wealth of individual
quadrupled. True, the scheme is vast
one, but the good to be derived IS vast
The great arid plains are AS fertile as
the plains of the Nile. There the gov.
erument has expended millions in dams
and reservoirs, and the income has well
justified il. The plan of government
irrigation is old, it has precedent under
pefience. The government cannot lose,
aud all interested will gain. To the un-
employed it will offer the Opportunity Of
work, in quarters far removed from the
centers of population il will start the
rich flow of commerce.
Idaho alone has II, ZOO, 900 acres Of I'M
claimed desert land, not worth now 81
an acre. Reclaim it. irrigate ii. and
what would be the result. A land worth
fifty times its original value. sandy
wilderness throbbfng with the pulse Of
population, farm and farm house, the
scent of new mown hay, and the song of
the reaper These personalities are not
the dreams of fancy. not the illusions of
inauguration, hut are AS real as flesh
and blood. 1t is the voice of the past
that speaks verified By The science of
the present. with its knowledge Of what
can be done and how to do IT,
Some opposition to this reclaiming Of
the west will undoubtedly be met; the
interests of the east aud west are too
conflicting and diverse to receive the
unanimous assent OF all the people. But
no great end was ever attained without a
struggle. and the time has now come
that the.west need not beseech so much
for public aid. for our increasing power
aud Importance. and our contiguity TO
oriental fields of riches, give to us the
strength to demand rs OF right.

effect of restoring one Of the beautiful

months ago that the Countess de Grey,
who had been one Of the most popular
women at court functions, was in
