A Successful Mining Company.

The success OF the Prairie Diggings
mine is practically assured, says the
Prairie City Miner. Reports come
from those operating the big stamp
mill that the tirst months cleanup,
now about to be made, will produce a
gold brick big enough to make glad
all the members Of the HOUsierbOy
Gold Mining company. Assays have
been faithfully made of the ore taken
out by every ''shift" since the stamps
began to drop, and although it is not
possible to obtain definite figures,
probably because the company is too
we'll pleased with the result to make
them public, sufficient information
has been acquired to convince those
who have been anxiously watching
the progress of the first months run
that there Is NO question about the
success Of the Prairie Digsinys mine.
Those connected with The company
particularly those who are conducting
its business, are mining men Of ex
tended experience. That fact is the
best evidence Of their good Judgment
They certainly would not have ex-
pended 1925, 900 in constructing and
equipping a % stamp mill with which
to work that vast body of ore without
first having obtained substantial AS
surance that the expenditure was
fully justified.
The extent Of the ore body and the
cheapness with which the rock can be
mined aud milled suggest that the
Prairie Digginss mine contains many
fortunes; and the manner in which
The Hoosielboy Gold Mining company
has begun to develop it is strong AS
surance OF its belief in the richness
Of the property.
This company will erect large
stamp mill on the Buckhorn nine in
the north end Of KUotenai county
the coming summer. In fact small
force Of men are on the ground now
making preparations for much lar
ger force when the snow disappears
The lumber is nn the ground now for
the erection Of 20 stamp mill but
only 10 Of these will be put in place
to start with. Development work
on the mine has been carried forward
to a point where the company feel
justified in putting up the machinery
before doing any more in that line
1t will be red letter day for north
KOotenai county when the music of
the falling stamps is heard ~ the
land and the HOosierboy Mining Co.
will deserve much praise and rich re-
turns for the important part it is
taking in the matter

Charles Il. Semple has taken the
contract to furnish the logs for the

about 80, 900, 900 feet OF timber. The
timber in that section Of the country
Is plentiful. The land is being rap

THE OREGON DEMOCRACY.

The democrats of Oregon met
April 10 to nominate state ticket
and to adopt a platform upon
which the party should stand dur
ing the state campaign. 1t was a
harmonious meeting; meeting
that should be emulated by DEM
ocratic conventions in all states.
George E. Chamberlain, OF
Portland, received the nomination
for governor by reclamation. A
synopsis of the platform follows:
The platform favors a tariff for
revenue only and opposes any pro-
lection whatever to trusts, com
blnes and corporations, with which
the republican party is in iniqui-
tous alliance and which partner
ship is calculated to overthrow re.
publican institutions and subvert
the liberties Of the people. 1t
favors placing on the free list all
trust made articles OF every kind.
On the Philippine question the
platform says:
"The inhabitant 5 of the Philip
pines have petitioned for free trade
with the United States and their
request has been seconded by the
Philippine commission and the
sentiment Of the American people
yet a republican congress refuses
any proper relief, but enacts laws
for those islands more burdensome
and less detensible than the acts Of
the British parliament against
which our forefathers rebelled. The
policy that makes one law for the
Hawaiian islands, another for Por-
to Rico and another for the Phil
ippies cannot be upheld on any
ground except that of subservien
cy to the sugar and tobacco trusts.

RUSHED THROUGH THE HOUSE.

1t may be good thing to renew
the charters of $50 national banks
for 20 years, says the Spokesman
Review, but if so, there hardly
seems reason why the bill accom-
plishing this should be railroaded
through the house under suspen-
sion of the rules when it was sup
posed that the principal business
of the day had been disposed of
and hardly quorum was present
A measure involving concerns
with a capital of s123, 900, 900 is
not one that prudent Legislators
ought to bring up Unexpectedly
when its supporters, see that the
opposition is absent and the GER
tainty of passage is assured. 1t
throws discredit on the action,
and that is the last thing the ma
tional banks can afford at a time
when SO many people are question
ing the propriety Of delegating the
right to issue money to private
concerns.
If those who hurried this char
ter extension bill through are con-
WINGED that it is wise measure,
and that the interests of the peo-
pie will be subserved by its pas
sage, there ought to be no object
ion to free and frank discussion
of its provisions. II the bill won't
stand discussion, it should not be-
come law. Taking snap judg-
ment, as appears to have been
done, will not increase public con-
fdence in the banks or in the sys-
tenn under which they operate as
circulation institutions.

"No North, no South" but a

The action of the house in
passing the Chinese exclusion bill
indicates that congress is not igno-
rant Of the general tone of public
sentiment on this question. The
bill as it stands not only excludes
Chinese. by birth and descent, but
all Chinese OF mixed blood. The
chief struggle was over an amend
ment to prohibit the employment
of Chinese sailors on American
ships which was finally adopted.
Otherwise, the bill as passed is
practically a re-enactment of all
the existing exclusion laws and
incorporates with them the exist
ing treaty regulations. 1t extends
these exclusion laws to the Philip
pines and to the other possessions
of the United States and forbids
Chinese laborers in our colonial
possessions coming into this coun-

A MAN-HUNT WITH DOGS.
Exciting Pursuit of an Escaped Ne
gro Convict with the Aid of
BIOOdhOunds

While at this camp l had the good
fortune to witness a man chase by
bloodhounds. A convict had broken
bounds and the dogs were put on the
trail that was still warm. 1t was an
exciting scene, writes B. F. Blackburn,
in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. 1
know the thrill that comes with brush
bay of the bloodhound on the trail of
a man, which makes the blood leap
wildly in ones veins. 1t was wild
country, picturesque in the extreme.
No one was near except few prison
officials in charge of hundred des-
perate felons, and l felt the exciting
sense of a sentinel on lonely outpost
as the six bloodhounds bounded
through tangled forest, baying madly
at every leap. 1t was my chance
the chance of a lifetime-and it was
not long before I had even passed the
warden, so eager was my desire to see
the finish. 1t came soon. The Negroes
force was spent and he took to a tree
in his effort to save himself from the
baying dogs. Icould not help thinking
of the scene when a 'possum is freed.
But / doubt whether the smile oc-
Cured to the wretched felon. He had
broken off branch and was desperate
ly flashing Dynamite" one of the
finest bloodhounds in the state, whose
mouth was only a foot or two below
him. Dynamite had been known to
climb trees, and to make a spring ten
feet in getting up to the first branches.
1t was a scene such as the Yankee press
loved to picture before the war. For
tunately l was quick enough to get
a snapshot when the black rascal was
six or seven feet above the ground.
Then the dogs were called off, and the
negro, unframed, was taken back in
less than an hour after he began his
run for liberty.
