The Portland OregOnian
On Energetic Aber-
deem.

There has not been more striking
illustration OF the active, pulsing pros
perity which pervades the Pacific North
west than that furnished by the fire tina,
destroyed the entire business portion OF
Aberdeen, WASH, last Friday. Almost
before the ashes that marked the site Of
what had been lively business section
OF prosperous milling town had become
cool sharp advance in the price OF
building lots was recorded, and twenty.
four hours late. active measures were
being taken to rebuild with brick and
stone the wooden business blocks that
had been swept away.
Another feature of the disaster-if in
the light OF events it proves disaste err
which indicates the sound industr lal
basis upon which the town OF Aberdeen
rests, is found in the fact that the people
were able to help themselves and each
other without calling for assistance,
which would have been cheerfully given
if it had been asked or the need OF it had
been apparent, without the asking. Be-
yond the loan Of number OF tents by
the state, which were needed for tenn
porary shelter, there was no occasion to
seek or receive outside aid.
That many citizens Of the plucky,
prosperous little town have suffered loss
that the amount Of insurance carried will
not make good is true, but there is every
indication Of a speedy recovery from this
loss, while in the better class OF build
ings that will soon cover the district that
was burned over there is promise OF
more favorable rates of insurance and of
additional facilities for handling the
growing trade OF the town.
The situation OF Aberdeen is one that
inspires confidence not only in the future
OF the town itself, but in that of the Sec
ton OF which it is the industrial center.
1t was prosperous before the fire, it will
continue in prosperity in spite of the fire,
and in sense because of it. Peopled by
working class whose operations extend
far back into the forests and out upon the
sea and to foreign ports, its business in.
terests and trade development are OF the
most permanent type. A confgration,
though causing loss and inconvenience
and some suffering, is but an incident in
the life OF such town, the disturbing ef.
fects OF which will soon pass away

NATIONAL BANKS RETIRING CIR.
CULATlON RAPIDLY.
And At the Same Time CIamorins For An Ex.
pansion Of Asset Currency. Possibly
the Action Is To Influence Congress To Pass
the Asset Scheme.

At this time when so many financiers
are clamoring for an asset currency or
the ground that the necessities OF bust.
ness require more money, a bit of infor.
nation carried by the Associated press
under date Of Washington, September 8,
may appear bit significant. In that dis
patch the Associated press said:
Applications from national banks for
the retirement of circulation are reaching
the treasury department in unexpected
numbers and amounts. For the seven
business days of the present month the
applications aggregate $2,762 900. Under
the law only So 900. GOO in circulation can
be retired in any one month, and the
applications are granted in the order in
which they are received. For several
months past the retirements of circula-
ton have been only nominal, and during
the refunding period the circulation in
creased by about $40, 100000.
'"The present movement is accounted
for at the treasury department by the
high price OF bonds, the banks evidently
seeing greater profit in selling their
bonds than in keeping them in circula-
ticn."
For long time we have been told that
the high price of bonds served to dis.
courage the issue of national bank notes
under the government bond deposit plan.
1t is not, however, bit strange that this
sudden retirement of circulation, in I'M
expected numbers and amounts happens
at this very moment when the fnanciers
are insisting that the necessities of the
country require enormous increase in the
volume of our currency?
Can it be possible that "the present
movement" is intended to 80 complicate
the situation that the business men
throughout the country will be persuad.
ed to urge their congressman to vote for
the asset currency scheme? 1t must be
admitted that there. is something very
suspicious about "the present move
ment."

ABEROEEN'S BIG LOG
At Seattle, Fitting Up Its Wild Animal
Show

Show.
Thos. Connor was in Seattle last Mon
day and while walking around the city
saw great rush of people to certain
place and of course Tom had to 90 over
and "rubber" little himself. The sight
he saw made him double up with laugh
ter. There was "Big-Tree Bill" trying to
lead wild cougar through the street.
He had big iron cage around the beast
head and all four feet encased in heavy
leather boots so that in case the animal
made a charge on it's keeper it could
neither bite nor scratch. At the rear end
OF the animal was Joe Nethery grasping
his tail in his right hand an trying to
steer it along the way they load cattle on
to boat. The third member of the party
was John Pierpont Morgan, who with
goad-stick in hand was gently prodding
the cougar whenever it showed any in
clination to showdown.
The boys were trying to get their cap
ture to blacksmith shop where they had
an iron cage in which to keep it. The
big tree Is now in Seattle, but they could
not get room to show it on railway prop
erty SO have to put the log on trucks
and take it to some other point for OK.

just over the line on the Nevada side,
are two very promising camps. The
Lodges in them are large and we'll de-
fined and the metallic contents Of the
ores which they carry is largely gold.
With the exception Of the Johnny COM
pany's property, at which a splendid
record has been made during the year
Stateline has been rather quiet This
condition OF affairs has been largely
the result of the setback given the
camp by the collapse of the Ophir
company's enterprise. but as the prop
erty is on the eve Of falling into new
hands, there is a good prospect Of the
mine and mill again being operated
When that happens. as it is sure TO
do. confidence will have been fully re-
stored in the diggings. and 1t viii not
be long till money will pour in for de-
velopment purposes. and other milling
plants win be erected.
The Johnny company's mine and
milling plant is fully described in an
other part Of this paper, so to dwell
upon it here is unnecessary, further
than to say that since early in the year

particular notice, both on account of
its output, which IS gold, the most de-
Erable Of all the precious metals, ana
that it is the first plant in the camp

ft-earning basis. The town is a typical

remarkable success. To those not

Gus undertaking Of establishing new

time to be consumed in getting ready to
make gold after it had been found. IT
should be remembered. however, that
money as wen as time is needed to

be borne in mind that man is a strong
factor ia the enterprise, and that

How Ore Is Treated.
As Utah is not primarily a gold min
ing state, a description Of this mill,
which stands AT the head OF its class,
both on account Of its modern equip
ment and the satisfactory work that
IL performs, is worth more than a pass
ing notice. The process is a cOmbina-
ton Of amalgamatiOn and cyanide
work. Amalgamation' is the separation
Of free gold from the pulverized rock by
means Of quicksilver. Cyaniding is TAX
ing the gold in chemical combination
with the rock by leeching, the agent
used being q chemical formula made up
Of potassium carbon and nitrogen.
which dissolves the gold and afterward
precipitates it when the solution IS
placed in contact with zinc
The ore is taken from the mine
through a vertical shaft and conveyed
in the same cars that are brought up
the cage over a track to the crusher
The mill stands on the west slope of a
hill. so that the movement Of the ore,
after being released from the car is
facilitated through the various work
ings by gravity 10 the dump below. The
ore passes first over a screen with
meshes Of one and half inches diam
eter. The coarse ore that passes over
the screens IS then handled by a No. 3
McCulley crusher which reduces it to
one and a quarter inch size The
screenings and the crushed ore then
united and conveyed under the stamps.
The crushing capacity is twenty tons
per hour. but as the capacity Of the
stamps is at present only thirty tons
per day, the crusher is operated but
a small portion of the time. There are
ten stamps divided into two batteries
Of five stamps each Each stamp
weighs 1850 pounds and drops a dis
lance of six inches ninety-eight times
a minute. The feed and delivery Of ore
into and from the mortar under the
stamps is automatic, so that when the
desired fneness is secured the pulp
passes through a screen and out onto
the plates. Quicksilver is placed in the

however, by the introduction Of new

For the credit of the great revival
