IRON DEPOSITS ARE NEAR,
Discovery Near Valley, Wash.-ore 5:
Feet Wide.

rect Wloes
Thirty-two feet of the highest grade
hematite ever mined in the United
States has been opened on the Iron
Hill mine, which has been in operation
under Great Northern management for
several months past.
The mine is 10 miles west of Valley,
Wash, ON the S. F. & N. railway. 1t
was acquired last summer by officials
of the Great Northern railway through
efforts of DR.. J. F. Reddy. The price
paid was over $4,000.
Work has been in progress since the
railway people secured the property,
the force being maintained at about Is
men. A large number of prospecting
shafts were sunk that did not encoun.
ter the ore. Finally deeper workings
at the top of the ridge were made and
a crosscut struck the vein about three
weeks ago. Immediately the superin-
tendent reduced the force in the shaft
to half dozen Of his men whom he
had brought here from the eastern iron
mines, and every effort was made to
keep the discovery secret. The bal
ance of the crew were sent into the
surrounding territory systematically
to locate all the open ground in sight.
Over 80 claims have been thus &C.
quired by the railway people, making
total of over so claims in their group.
The crosscut was continued across
the vein until 80 feet of ore was open
ed and still no wall was encountered.
The vein crops in places over 200 feet
wide so that it is possible that this is
but a minor fraction of the width Of
the vein.
The ore is hematite of an exceeding
ly high grade.

PRICE Of LUMBER ADVbatES
PACIFIC LUMBER MANUFACTURE.
ERs' ASSOCIATION.
Recent Meeting in Tacoma Adopts
Higher Prices in All Grades-Due to
Heavy Demand-AII Large Mills In
Western Washington and Some in
Oregon Will Live Up to Schedule.

Tacoma, Wash, April 21.-Further
advances in prices for several kinds of
lumber have been announced, as the
result Of the meeting of the Pacific
Lumber Manufacturers association
The advances are believed to presage
an advance in other lines, owing to tho
heavy demand for material all over
the west, and particularly in the north
west The association practically in
cludes all the large shipping mills of
western Washington and some in Ore
gon, and its price schedules are lived
up to.
A decided advance of several dol
lars per thousand was made in car sid
ing and roofing. No. sash grain floor.
ing was put up 81 per thousand feet
and No. fir porch decking and cell
ing was advanced 81 per thousand. A
raise of 50 per thousand was made in
drst grade stepping material, and fir
windmill stock was advanced 81 per
thousand. Battens were also put up
SO cents per thousand. Otherwise there
was no material change made in the
old schedule. The general feeling
seemed to prevail that conditions were
improving, and better things were in
prospect for the lumber trade. This
advance will affect all dealers in the
state.
The association failed to approve
and adopt the price schedule prepared
by the special commission on the mat
ter in Tacoma the week previous. The
effort made by a number of the larger
concerns to raise the price of timbers
and railroad ties to closely approx
mate these prevailing in Oregon sue.
ceeded only partially. a raise Of %
cents per 1000 feet only being made
on ties. Bridge stringers were listed
and added to the schedule. The propo.
sition for a decided advance on ties
and timbers met with opposition from
the smaller mills, whose cooperation
would be necessary to the success of
any advance in prices.
Affecting Spokane Trade.
II do not anticipate the advance an
nounced from the west side will have
any effect in Spokane" said an of.
fetal of the Washington Mill company.

trade. though can not say to what ex-

LABOR DAY.
ELABORATE CELEBRATION BY
REPRESENTATIVES OF TRADE
uNioNisM IN THE CITY.
With Waving Banners and Gay Music
The Parade Marches Through
The Streets. Printers Fine
Showing.

Not In many years has Las Vegas
seen q NOR imposing procession than
that which union labor placed on the
streets yesterday, and never has La
Dor Day been as deliberately celehrat-
ed. The parade. led by the Military
band, piping like the pied pipers Of
Hamlin town, started a little before z
O'Clock. There were almost two hun.
drcd representatives OF union labor In
the procession.
Grand Marshall G. n Handwright,
mounted on d fiery steed, and wearing
a big American flag was at the head
Of the column. Then came the band,
followed by the clerks, fifty strong.
The carpenters. painters, printers, ma
chinists, boilermakers and cigar maxi
ers were represented. The way led
through the principal streets Of the
city. Everywhere the line OF march
was lined with throngs Of interested
people, who received the procession
with enthusiasm.
To the typographical union belongs
the credit Of making the most attrac,
tive appearance. In a buggy drawn
by 4 white horse and decorated with
flags and bunting, sat the only lady
member OF the union. One member
marched ahead carrying the banner
while the others formed an escort to
the carriage. The lady member OF the
typographical union has the further
distinction OF having been the only
lady In the parade, The clers' union
had intended to have the lady clerks
In line, but at the last moment 1t was
found that the important matter of
securing carriages had been over
looked.
The Stars and Stripes were much IN
evidence In the parade, a tribute to
the loyalty Of the representatives Of
trade unionism.
The afternoon was not far spent
when the celebrators Of Labor Day
climbed onto the waiting trolley cars
and we're whisked away to the Mon.
tezuma park. There q happy after
noon was spent In the park for an
hour or two. the band played and
games were pulled on. Later the
crowd went TO the Casino where dane.
ing was INDUCED In. But almost
everybody was homeward bound be-
fore Q o'clock. well satisfied with the
manner In which Labor Day had been
observed.
