THE PRUNE CROP.
One Crop Sold Preparing to Process
The Big Drier-Prices off.

Operations have ended for this
season at the big prune drier. AL
the appliances have been cleaned ur
and put away, and the last of the
force of working people quilted the
place Tuesday evening. The pro-
duct of dried prunes is in the bins
at the plant, going through the
sweating process. It is very large
in volume, the aggregate being
very close to the estimate of Man
ager Johnson about the time drying
began. In two or three weeks, af-
fer the sweating process ends, the
sacking of the prunes for removal
to-the Corvallis processing plant
will begin.
AT the processing works. opera
tions are expected to begin in about
three weeks, By that time all the
machinery will be in readiness, and
a proper force Of operatives will
have been secured. Meantime, the
Paddock crop and the output of the
orchard formerly owned by F. P.
Sheasgreen .,re being hauled to the
works. The same is true of the
prunes from the B. W. johnson
orchard. The Henry Stone prunes
which were in the drier at the time
of the late fire, have been sold.
They were bought by a Salem.
dealer. The figure given out as
the price at which the product sold
is three and fve-eighths cents per
pound.
Operations in all the driers in the
vicinity have ended, except in the
drier in the Rose orchard, and the
commercial drier of Charles Blakes-
lee in Corvallis, and both of these
are likely to close down today.
The prune market is. not OPEN
ing up as favorably as might have
been desired or as was expected.
Prices have been somewhat off dur.
ing several days past, though a |
better tone now nanifests itself.

MINISTER'S MEET.
And Deliberately Oregon Presbyterian
Synod in Session in Corvallis,

SVQOQ In SoSSlOu III IOlVdtllS,
The Synod OF the Presbyterian
church of Oregon, is in session 10
Corvallis, and the town is full of
ministers and lay delegates. In all
about 100 are in attendance. The
presen is the first instance in which
the Synod has been held in Cor
Wallis in many years. Tie present
occasion is in measure an observ-
ance of the semi-centennial anni-
versary of the organization of the
local church. In accentuation of
the fact, Rev. Joseph A. Hanna is in
attendance all the way from his
home in Los Angeles, California.
He is one of the original founders
OF the local church, whose building
was one of the very first erected in
Oregon. Another of the original
organizers is in attendance. lie is
Mr.. Robie of Brownsville, now, like
Mr.. Hanna, a man far advanced in
years. OF the original brotherhood,
these two are the cnly survive g.
1t was in token of the ancient or
ganization that Rev. Hanna read
the opening hymn at the beginning
of the first me eting of the Synod,
Thursday evening.
The opening session OF the synod
ws characterized by powerful
sermon by DR.. Edgar P. Hill, OF
Portland. His theme was main
tanning Old Landmarks" He re-
ferred to the vast religious awaken
ing that followed the preaching of
John Wesley. Moody. and other
great evangelists. He said that
each Of these awakenings was pre-
ceded by religious apathy, lack Of
reverence for the bible, and many
other characteristics. He said the
present time is full cf signs that
such an apathy now exists, and
that conditions are ripe for another
awakening.
The business organization of the
Synod followed the sermon of DIR.
Hill. DIR. Townsend, of Roseburg,
was elected moderator and G. ".
Milligan, Stated clerk pro TEN.
At the business meeting yester-
day forenoon the committee on

ing most hopeful view of the situ-
attain with reference to the temper
ance cause. A growth of senti-
ment hostile to the liquor traffic
in foreign countries. Is announced

in Georgia. all are dry but four. In
Oregon there are but three or four
dry towns.
The Synod adopted a resolution of
greeting and approval to the move

CENTER OF
ATTRACTION
Tonopah Miner Says the
Great Camp Has a Rival in
the New GOIdfieId

The excitement over the mining sit
uation at Goldfield is growing daily,
and it is the main topic of conversa-
tion in local circules The recent de-
vclopments are of the most encurag-
ing nature and one of the best fea-
lures of the whole situation is the
mining and financial ability of the
men who are most enthusiastic over
the new camp. In addition to John
McKane, Chas NJ. Schwab's represen-
tatve, and J. p Harvey, who is Patsy
Clark's right hand man, number of
good mining men from Colorado are
on the ground, and will assist in de-
veloping what they assert is really "a
second Cripple Creek"
The most important development OF
the week was the securing yesterday
morning of the Blue Bull group of
claims by ]. p. Sweeney, formerly a
successful Cripple Creek operator.
This group consists of nine claims,
about one mile east of the Combina-
ton, and is owned by H. Ramsey,
rom Ramsey, Con Crook and H. o..
Hall Three strong parallel ledges
have been uncovered so far and have
been sampled for a distance of several
hundred feet each, assays going from
- to $3.50. The bond, under which Mr.
Sw eeney seecurd control of the prop
erty, calls for 100000, with a pay
ment of $4,000 the 29d of the month,
another in forty days and the balance
coming at frequent intervals during
the year until the full price is paid.
Judging from Mr. Sweeney's record
in Cripple Creek it is safe to say no
lime will be lost in opening UP the
Blue Bull group.
Yesterday morning L. l.. Patrick
sent out a large number of ore sacks
and in a short time will make car
lead shipment of high-grade ore. This
cells better tnan anything else how
work is progressing at the Combina-
ton. 1t is said that more than enough
ore has already been taken out to
make the second payment on the
property. 1t is not surprising that so
many level-headed mining men were
falling all over themselves to secure
the Combination, for a property which
will pay for itself is not often found.
The first shipment is expected to net
about 5000 to the ton. The upraise
which was made from the tunnel has
reached the surface, having passed en-
tirely through the same grade of ore
which has characterized this property
from the first This upraise will be
timbered as rapidly as possible, under
Superintendent Myers, and sinking on
the ledge will commence. Bids for
sinking the first so feet have been
asked for by Mr.. Patrick.-Tonopah
| Miner.

The Panamians replied that they
would not return to the Republic OF

IHE "SULTAN'S DAUGHTER"
Della PringIe Company Gave a
Good Show Last Night

All Winnemucca is gla1 to have met
and known the "Sultan's Daughter,
the innocent cause of a heap OF trou-
Bile to a married man, as portrayed
by Della Pringle and her company OF
able players at Armory Hall 'ast
night. AS was the case on the open
ing night, the company was greatly
handicapped by lack of room, the
special scenery and elaborate stage
settings having been designed for
stages no less than three times the
size of the Armory's, Manager Adams
finding to his regret that it would be
impossible to put on some OF the most
essential scenery. But the play was
well given and pleased everybody. The
little folks alone were disappointed,
having expected to see the two lam
ous boxing and acting bulldogs; one
of them almost severed a toe yester-
day on a piece of glass, ana cou"l

A DELICATE OPERATION
Patient at County hOspit al
Gets New Foot Covering

At the county hospital yesterday
afternoon DR.. Giroux performed one
of the most interesting operations
ever undertaken in this city, and the
only one of it's kind ever done here
The operation consisted of grating
something like ten square inches of
skin upon the heel of the patient, VIM
Newman, and from present indications
it will be a success in every way, and
will be the means of saving the heel
and perhaps the entire foot, which.
otherwise would have been lost.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Newman
met with an accident in getting OF
a train, his heel being caught between
the bumpers and badly mangled. A
part of the heel bone was lost, and
also the muscles and flesh covering
it, AS the wound began to heal, ii
became apparent that the part would
never again be covered with natural
skin, unless it came through the pro-
cess Of transplanting or grating. 1t
was therefore decided to perform the
operation yesterday.
The patient was placed under the
influence of an anaesthetic, and the
heel prepared for the reception of the
new cuticle. This was taken from
the limb above the knee The skin
was removed in thin, narrow strips,
and transferred to the exposed por-
ton of the heel, until the entire space
was covered This is all that can be
done at the present time, but later
on the portion of the bone, on the un-
der side of the foot, will be curetted
and given the proper treatment, and
| it is confindently expected that Mr.
Newman will, in the course of shoru
time, be able to get about and have
the full use of the foot as well as
before the accident. The operation
was quite an extensive one in Its
kind, and is one which is seldom un-
dertaken outside of the largest hos
pitals. The result will be watched
with a great deal of interest.

Mayor of Chicago Will Try to
Act as Mediator in the
Street Car Trouble
A FEW CARS ARE BEING RUN

Protection-The Boycott is
StilIvigorousIy Pursued

Chicago, Nov. 17.-Mayor Harrison
today, acting under a recommendation
of the city council, began an attempt
to mediate in the differences between
the Chicago Railway compapy ard its
striking employees
The mayor dispatched a letter by
special messenger to President Ham
ilton, of the Street Railway company.
asking that Mr. Hamilton and such
representatives of the company as
Mr.. Hamilton might desire, meet with
the mayor and a committee of light
aldermen this evening. At this meet
the mayor will endeavor to dis
cover a means by which the strike can
be brought to quick end.
President Hamilton, OF the Street
Railway company, replied this after
noon accepting the invitation to meet
Mayor Harrison and the committee
of aldermen.
The Cottage Grove avenue line was
the scene OF much of today's strike ac-
tIvlty. The Wentworth avenue SER
vice was continued today on praetic-
ally the same schedule as oDtalnea
yesterday. ] wenIy-uve cars were op-
Grated on a five-minute schedule.
A number oil pistol shots near the
barns at 5sth street and Cottage Grove
avenue startled the non-unlon en-
pIoyes housed within. For shor'
time the strike breakers believed that
an attack was beng MADE upon thelr
stronghold. Inc snots provol ID nave
been nred by men who brought two
wagon loads of supplies. Within halI
a DIock OF the barns pickets halted
the drivers ana demanded that they
turn around and drive back. The
drivers Immediately opened fire and
drove quickly to the barn.
Five trains started from the barns

ed from possible injury by heaVy

and pauolmen guarded the line ana
kept the crowds moving. Wagons
were hurried along and kept OH the
street so far as possible.
The initial cars on the cottage
Grove avenue line traversed the entre
route to the center of the city without
serious difnculty. AS a result tht
street railway officials claimed prac'
tically to have mastered the strike OF
a second trunk line, the first TO o'
