DIXIE MEADOWS WILL
SOON be A PRODUCER
Machinery All Installed and viii Soon
Be In Operation.

DR.. V. c. Belknap returned on
Wednesday from trip to the Dixie
Meadows Gold Mining company's
camp, of which he Is one Of the
main originators. He says that the
machinery Is now all installed and
that the 1O0.ton concentrator will
commence operations on or abont
December l. About thirty men are
still at work and the same number
will constitute the working for ,e
after the concentrator is In operation
and the outside work has been CON-
pleted.
In the Tine proper there are shifts
of men at work drifting on the ore
body, crosscutting, opening up
slopes between upper and lower
workings, and stopping out ore.
1t has been ascertained by the CON-
pany that the concentrates can be
treated on the ground by the cyanide
process. They have therefore de.
termined to put In cyanide plant,
on which the work will commence In
the course Of week. The sawmill
will be started up anew and buildings
will be erected for this purpose.
The concentrates can be treated
on the ground for about s5 per ton.
while II shipped 1t will cost $50 per
ton.
This mine undoubtedly will soon
become world famous. The ore Is
high grade, averaging. at . very con
servative estimate, al5 per ton, and
the vein on the lower level measures
not less than fifty feet wide. The
ore Is stopped out aud dumped into
the concentration. No hoist, no
pumps are needed. The FREQ gold is
there taken out. aud the remainder
OF the values In The concentrates are
separated and saved by the cyanide
process. thus saving the cost of trans
portation of the ore and concentrates.

Diamond That Weighs $40 Carats.

There is now in Amsterdam, for
the purpose Of being worked In the,
diamond cutting shops. the largest
diamond in the world, and one that
is unique in the annals of the trade.
So much Is this the case that spe.

to be manufactured ITO deal with It.
The stone is as large as hen egg
and weighs 970 carats. 1t is thus
twice as large as the Kohinoor. which
weighed 500 oarats before being cut.
The stone, which was extracted from
a South African mine ten years ago,
is named the Excelsior. and after be-
ing acquired by a syndicate has been

How Rockefeller Piles Up Millions.

With boost of half cent gal
Ion in the price Of kerosene oil last
week, which makes an advance of two
cents a gallon In less than month,
statisticians have done some figuring,
the figures being based on an annual
output of 1900, 900, 900 gallons,
with this result:
The latest squeeze means 81, ,500,-
900 added annual profits for the
trust.
This months squeeze means $780,
900. 900 added annual profits.
John ID. Rockefeller Is said to get
sixty-five per cent OF the total profits,
and two cents advance will add 80 >
100000 to his bank roll by the end
of the year.
The consumer will pay sixteen
cents q gallon for kerosene at retail,
with q prospect Of having this In.

word. Rockefeller says that the

SIGNS OF A MILD
WINTER OBSERVED

In the face of what appears to be
rather the opposite condition, weather
prophets are prophesying that this
Is going to be the mildest winter
during historic times In eastern
Oregon. The forecast IL based on
observations regarding the habits Of
animals this fall. Captain Paul,
superintendent of the Imperial. IL
an authority on such matters. and h.
has seen things which lead him to
this conclusion.
For instance, the other day a big
black bear made his appearance between
the California and the Crown Point.
Now IL Is we'll known that animals
belonging to the ursine family hiber-
nate, and when they show a disposi.
tion to violate the fixed rules Of
their ancestors and specific instincts,
there must be some good reason for
It. The reason il that these animals
are next to the weather bureau and.
they know that the coming winter is
just going to be u breakfast spell.
which makes itusnecessary to 60 into
the Information Business. Else why
was this black shear perambulating
through the Gable Cove, when, &C.
to all precedents, and family
traits, he should have been housed

Again, the ground squirrel Is wise
in its day and generation. 1t knows
u thing or two about the weather.
These frlsky little creatures have not
gone into winter quarters. Travellers
from the Cove aud Cracker creek dis.
tricts say they see them along the
roadside. and that they are still using
their summer abodes. This seldom
happens. in this locality, 1t is
pointed out 10y observing ones. Cap.
tain Paul states that he has never
known the like except in the year
1861, in the mountains of Utah where
the climate conditions are very sim
liar tn those found here. That win
ter the bears aud other alternating
animals stayed out, aud II was the
mildest winter in history. There
fore. from analogy, the conclusion
becomes apparent.

ORIGIN OF OLD SAYINGS.

The Honeymoon.-For thirty days
after wedding the ancient Teutons
had a custom of drinking a mead made
of honey.
The Bridegroom.-In primitive times
the newly welded man had to wait
upon his bride and the guests on his
wedding day. He was their groom.
Sirloin of Beef.-King Charles l., be-
ing greatly pleased with roast loin of
beef set before him, declared it good
enough to be knighted." 1t has ever
since been called Sir Loin.
A Spinster-Women were prohibited
from marrying in olden times until
they had spun full set of bed fur
nishings on the spinning wheel; hence,
till married, they were spinsters.
Cabal.-This word was coined in
Charles Ills reign and applied to his
cabinet council. 1t was made out of
the initials of their names, which were:
Clifford Arlington, Buckingham, Ash
ley, Lauderdale.

Concerning the Letter srY."

A writer in Science denies that the
letter ~" is lineal descendant from
the Roman "Y," which in the time of
Cicero was borrowed from the Greek
alphabet to represent upsilon in the
translation Of Greek names. The lat
ter is only used, he says, as vowel to
transliterate upsilon in loan words ell
ther direct from the Greek or indirect
ly through Latin or French. In great
majority of cases the English ~" is a
semiconsonant corresponding in value
with the continental a." Along with
the other Roman letters, ~" was
adopted by the Anglo-Saxons from the
Latin alphabet, with value approx
mating to that of a." In fact, he
claims that there is not lineal de-
scendant of the Anglo-Saxon ~" now
in existence. The letter ~" In modern
English words is, curiously enough, he
claims, not ~" at all, but lineal de-
scendant Of the Anglo-Saxon "g,"
which was the Roman sc" evolved by
the Romans out of an earlier &C."
