COLES
Patent Front Coats
NEVER GET OUT OF SHAPE

We have as good corps of tailors as can be
! hired in New York, wOrkmen trained to produce
stylish effects found in the custom suits of few
other cities beside New York These wOrkmen
have been making coats for us for three years with
COLES PATENT FRONT" and they are united
in their opinion that while the new way takes no
longer than the old yet it cannot help but keep the
front of coat in shape as long as the garment
lasts. We have coat on exhibition at the store
which shows you exactly how this PATENT
FRONT is made. You will readily understand if
you examine it, why it is that coat must stay in
shape when made this way. 1t has passed the
experimental stage and has proved itself to do all
we claim for it.
Our new SPRING WOOLENS are on display.
The best that cloth makers have produced is in
: the showing. We will make for you a first-class
suit for $50 At this price the number of cloths
for selection is large. Others at higher prices and
some lower.

Battle With convicts,

Auburn, CAL, July 29.-A fierce bat
tie occurred between the escaped Fol-
som convicts and the officers tonight
near Pilot Hill, in Eldorado county.
The convicts were travelling in a four
horse wagon, and after holding up and
looting store at Pilot Hill OF provis-
ions, proceeded in the direction of
Colona.
Shortly after leaving Pilot Hill they
were overtaken by posses from sacra-
mento, Folsom and Placerville. Guard
Curry, of the Folsom posse, opened me-
gotiations by shooting one of the
horses attached to the convicts' wagon,
and this blocked the advance and an
open fight ensued. Convict Howard
was killed outright and Seabis, a negro
convict, was badly wounded. Two
guards, who were with the convicts,
managed to escape. 1t was alec noticed
that Gordon and another convict were
missing. and it is presumed that they
dropped out somewhere between Folsom
and Pilot Hill and have taken to the
woods, which anywhere in this locality
would provide safe hiding.

SHEEPrIEN IN ARMS.
Montana Camp and Pens Burned by
Warning Cattlemen.

Warning cattiemen.
Butte, Mont, July ga Miner
special from Big Timber, Mont, says
that the sheepmen of Bridger Greek
country, several miles from there, are
up in arms as result of the burning
of the Flanagan Bros. eheep camp
and pens, the largest in this section Of
Montana. The destruction is believed
by sheepmen to be the work of cattle
men with whom they have been On the
verge of war for the past six months.
The sheepmen have organized posses
under the leadership of William Bell,
one of the prominent sheepmen, and a
search of the surrounding country is
being made for man whom the sheep
men declare they know is the incendi-
ary. Pickets have been strung out over
an area of ten miles square.
Parties just in from the scene say
that thu situation is extremely serious
and lynching is threatened if the cat
tlemen suspected of firing the Fianna-
gan pens falls into the hands of the
pursuing sheepmen.

BIG TIMBER DEAL.
Hartman and Hill Unite in Effort to
Control Worlds Market.

| San Francisco, July 2S.-The Bulle-
tin says that E. H. Hartman and
James j. Hill are uniting in great
timber deal, whereby they, with num-
Der OF associates, will control the lum-
ber market of the world. They are se-
curing large tracts of forest land in
Northern California and Oregon.
through their agents, who have been
for some time quietly buying property
on the coast. Among the associates of
the two railroad magnates are Frederick
Weyerhaeuser, of Minneapolis, I. B.
Walker, cf Minneapolis; Jacob Blod-
gett, of Grand Rapids, and a number of
other members of influence in the yari-
Gus timber sections of the Western
states.
E. W. Eberlin, of New York, has
been in California for several months.
He is Harriman's agent in this state,
and has made frequent trips to the
northern part of the state, where he
has been buying up available timber
lands. Eberlin has also been working
toward securing options on timber land
held by various Eastern people who
purchased it since the boom in Cali
fornia timber began about three years
ago.
With the many minor holdings which
Hartman and his associates may count
on, it is said that the plan is to merge
the more valuable lands controlled by
the Hill roads and the Southern Pacific
into trust. The Southern Pacific's
principal holdings are represented in
the grant of ten miles on each side of it's
road. lying between the southern boun-
dary line of Oregon and a point south
of Portland, and consists OF about l.
OOO, ,O0U acres of fir and sugar pine. In
his plan to place these lands in a pool
Hartman does so conditionally, with
provisions for the protection of the com.
pany's creditors. to whom all the lands
of the company are pledged in security
for its Indebtedness.
With the lands of the Hill and the
Hartman roads and those of Walker.
Weyerhaeuser and others in Washing
ton, Oregon, Idaho and California
under control, Hartman and his asso-
eiates would be in position to control
the lumber market of the world.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
JUNE OUTPUT SPLENDID.
Sumpter District Mines Cleaned Up All
OF $35O,0OO.

Oi pCCOs0OOs
Estimates based on the production
of ore in the Sumpter mining district
for the past month give much greater
returns than heretofore The deep
sinking operations carried on in most
of the leading properties have result
ed in opening up larger area of min
ing territory and consequently an in
creased production has resulted.
According to the estimates that are
at hand from the best sources obtain
able, the Bonanza is said to have clear
ed up during June $4,000; the North
Pole, $4,000; the Columbia, S45,-
900; Golconda, $4,000; the Badger,
100000; total, $240, 600. The produc-
ton of the Red BoyEis variously stat
ed to be from $4,000 to $4,000. and
therefore should beaadded to the to-
tai production.
There are many other properties
that are constantly shipping ores
away for treatment at smelters. It is
impossible to get any figures as to the
value of these ores, as no returns are
given from the smelters receiving
them, except to the owners, and the
latter as a rule are opposed to MAX
ing public these figures. It would be
