A QUICKSILVER MOUNTAIN.
Black Butte Mines Will Install 3OO- Ton
Smelter.
Srnelter.

A 800 ton quicksilver plant Is go
ing up on the Black Butte mines,
near Cottage Grove Oregon. in which
q. B. Dennis of Spokane is inter
ested. Said Mr.. Dennis yesterday
''Four years of uninterrupted de-
velopment has exposed the most
expansive imbedding of cinnabar ore
on the American continent. il not in
the world. The work represents an
expenditure of nearly half million
dollars.
"The Black Butte quicksilver
mines are located in Lane county,
Oregon, some eighteen miles from
Cottage Grove. To my brother. W.
B. Dennis, is due the credit for the
successful development, as he has
been without interruption its archi.
tect from the beginning. During
the four years $4,000 feet of work
have been done, which includes II
vertical shaft to the |, 200 foot level
At each 100 foot station drift run
ming on the foot wall has been
driven either side of the shaft the
full length of the pay shoot. 227
feet, aud at each level the ledge has
been crosscut for its full width of
eighty feet. The average of the ore
is about one per cent in quicksilver.
or say so "A ton. and there is now
blocked out more than $4,000 900
in quicksilver.
"A contract has just been let for an
additional tunnel 1900 feet long.
which. when completed, will give
vertical depth of LOO feet, and will
be the main working tunnel of the
mine. The present forty ton smelt-
ing or distilling plant is being en-
larged to a 800 ton capacity, and the
mine equipped with complete cleo
trical water power plant, furnishing
power and light which places the
property in position for working
upon a very large scale.
Quicksilver may be designated as
one of the rare minerals; at least,
mines producing it are rare. Other
than the Black Butte mine, II il be-
ing profitably mined upon the Amer
lean continent only in California,
where il has been mined for many
years, yielding many millions of
money to its owners. Some little

timber on their allotnents be allowed to
sell 1t at the same time as the sale Of
other pine will be made under the Morris
act in Decem ber Major Scott reasons
that, while the large tracts to be sold
under the Morris bill are being cut, 1t
would cost but little more to take the
timber off the Indian allotments, and the
Indian would get more for his timber than
If he had to wait till the expiration OF the
statutory limit to dispose of it.
If this recommendation is adopted, the
Indians will at once realize goodly sums
from the sale of timber on their lands:
The original intention of the government
was that the Indian allotments should be
made on strictly agricultural land; but,
despite this intention, many of the Indians
have claims with thousands of feet Of fine
pine timber thereon.

toward him. There was a violent and con-
certed outcry from us in the background,
but bruin only raised himself on his hind
legs, directly in front of Mr.. Powers, put
his nose to the camera, found 1t not
eatable and went back to the timber.
Mr.. Powers stood there, fearless as tho
it was pet horse before him. We saw a
black bear and two cubs feeding that same
evening, but the moment the mother saw
us standing about, she sent her cubs be-
fore and disappeared in the woods
A man watching a bear at the lake last
year had a decidedly disagreeable expert
ence and it is to his wife's bravery that
he owes his life. A mother bear had been
feeding at the garbage pile with her two
cubs when several persons came toward
them with sticks. The old bear was much
excited and fastened away with her little
ones. She came back to feed alone later
in the evening. A man all unknowing of
the previous affair, walked toward the
animal. Seeming an attack and still ex-
cited over her cubs, she attacked q him
fercely. His wife ran to him and oeat the
animal on the head with the umbrella she
carried. The bear released its hold and
scampered away. The man lay in the hos.
pital at Fort Yellowstone for several
weeks. For a time his life was despaired
Of, but he finally recovered.
w. G. Handy of the st. Paul Pioneer
Press had a curious experience with bear
one morning last summer. With his wife
and several other ladies and a man be-
longing to his party, he walked fronq; the
hotel at the canon on the road toward In
SEPARATION Point. When they reached the
turn in the road they almost walked upon
four large silver tips that lay asleep. The
women screamed and two tainted when
they reached the grass across the road.

After week. of farce the Ferris stock
company at the Eyceum will be seen in a
grand production Of Bronson Towards
beautiful play, IA; Bankers Daughter
The piece has not been seen in this city
for several years, and is one of the best
OF Towards many successful plays. A
brief sketch Of the story is as follows:
Lillian, the bankers daughter, to save her
fathers honor and fortune marries a man
whom she does not love. She marries
the man, an artist at her fathers wish,
with the understanding that her husband
be told that she respects but does not
love him. This her father falls to do, and
after they have been married seven years
and have daughter, he learns that she
does not love him and separation oc-
ours During their separation she learns
to love him and thru the efforts of their.
daughter reconciliation is brought about.
From here the play grows very interesting
and should appeal to the heart of every.
patriotic American citizen, who respects.
the American flag The scene changes
to the American legation In Paris, when
a French count who was a rival for his
wife's hand, with the express purpose Of
bringing about duel that he may be
avenged for the loss Of the woman he
loves, insults the American flag and calls
1t rag, which never afforded protection
to any one. The insult the American
stands as long as. he can and then de-
mands that respect be paid to the Ameri-
can flag, a duel results and the American
is victorious.

In a recent research made by the gov

that each animal killed at least two deer
