ROOSEVELT ON FINANCE.
Tells Senators Willard and Hepburn
Money Measure is Needed.

To Senators Willard and Hepburn
President Roosevelt has stated his de-
sire respecting financial legislation at
the approaching session of congress.
Senator Willard agreed with the
president as to the desirablity of
more elastic system of currency than
the present one, but he was positive
that the government itself ought to
be behind every dollar of currency IS
sued, so that no question of it's value
ever would be raised.
He expressed the belief that gov
eminent bonds in sufficient quantity
now are outstanding to afford basis
for currency issues. He said he would
favor "the right kind of measure"
looking to the greater elasticity of the
currency, but was sure some of the
measures recently proposed would not
be acceptable to the country.

effected his escape, and, notwithstand
ing his crippled condition, has SO far
eluded his pursuers.
Meeks is unquestionably one of the
most desperate and ingenious crimi-
mails known to this country. While
confined in the Jail Of Bear Lake coun-
ty for the bank hold-up in Montpelier,
he scaled the walls surrounding the
jail in broad daylight in the presence
Of fifty people in and about the court
house at Paris. All trace of his where
abouts was lost for months until he
turned up in the Deer Lodge, Mont,
penitentiary, where he had been SEN
fenced from Butte for one year In con-
nection with a minor offense. Upon
the expiration of his term in Deer
Lodge he was again brought to Bear
Lake county and tried for the offense
of holding up the bank, In which az
fair Butch" Cassidy and other of
his associates participated. Meeks
was the only one caught by the Of
icers, and Judge Standrod gave him
thirty-five years.
While confined in Boise he escaped
twice. The second escape was when
he made a headlong leap from the
top OF the walls surrounding the prison
he suffered broken leg and.
which he labored, he managed to keep |
the entire prison force in quandary
for severel days before being cap
tured. Soon after his capture the
broken leg was amputated and after
It's amputation he feigned insanity |
ind was removed by the authorities to
he asylum.

POPE Plus x CROWNED.
Thousands Were Present to Witness
tho Magnificent Rite.

The ceremony of the coronation Of
Plus x took place Sunday in the bash
lea of st. Peters in the presence of
the princes, and with all the solemnity
and splendor associated with this, the
most magnificent rite in the Roman
Catholic church.
AS Cardinal Macchi, the dean of the
cardinal deacons, placed the triple
crown on the head of the venerable
pontiff, the throng of seventy thou
sand persons gathered within the
cathedral burst into unrestrained &C
Carnations, the choir intoned a hymn
Of triumph, and the bells of Rome
rang out joyous peal.
1t is fifty-seven years since the Ro-
mans and Europe assisted at such
function as was held in St. Peters to-
day. The great basilica, popularity
supposed never to have been quite full,
was overlooking with humanity The
Papal throne, owing to a bewildering
mixture of gold, red and silver, was
erected in front of the high altar. AS,
contrary to custom on these ceremo-
NOUS occasions there were no CALLER

NAL aspect. On the altar, which was
dressed in white, stood the famous sill

| a Number OF South Sea Islands Ap.
pear Doomed to Destruction.
1t would seem that the ninety ISL
ands known variously as the Low
archipelago or Tuamotu group, arc
destined to be reclaimed by the Pa.
cific ocean.
Last January they were swept by q
flood composed of high waves from
the ocean and the lesser ones from the
enclosed lagoons, and in consequence
nearly 600 Of the inhabitants were
drowned and property to the value of
100000 was destroyed. And now, six
months later, fierce gales from the
southwest and southeast have again
caused great surging crests to sweep
over some of the islands. So far only
four persons are believed to have
persisted, but the fear is great that
when all the islands are heard from
there may be distressing list of IA
talities.
The steamer Excelsior suffered
much damage during the series Of
gales, while she was on her trip from
Tahiti to the Marquesas group.
Three of the Tuamotu islands were
under water to such an extent that
the inhabitants had to climb cocoanut
trees for safety. Houses and stores,
copra and finally the cocoanut trees
were destroyed, while the inhabitants
had close call to death. 1t is
thought most of the islands of the
group were visited by the storm.

The Sumpter miner. [volume] (Sumpter, Or.) 1899-1905, 1903-05-13

l.. v. Swiggett, manager Of the
Golconda Extension Gold Mining
company, operating the Orleans
property In the Cracker Creek district,
IL making arrangements to put In a
hoist good for 500 feet, a forty horse
power boiler and other necessary
machinery. Mr.. Swiggett came up
from Portland this week and visited
the mine, which he says, Is making a
most satisfactory showing.
The group butts into the Golconda
on the southwest, and the present
indictions are that the Orleans will
soon be among the big producers of
Carcker Creek. Manager Swiggett
brought with him from the mine some
samples of rich sulphide ore carrying
high values in gold. The ore shoot
recently encountered Is l4O feet long
and three feet wide in the widest
place. IL contains rich ore. The
tunnel has now reached IA point fifty
feet beyond, and from the green
arsenical stains in the quartz IL IL
judged that another shoot il being
approached. II IL expected to tap
this shoot now any day.
For tho past few days Manager
Swigget states that the air in the
workings has been bad, and he Is
preparing to put in air pipes at once.
At distance of 260 feet from the
mouth of the tunnel the lead IL to
be crosscut and an upraise carried
to the surface. The vein runs from
sixty to 100 feet, and carries the
Cracker Creek ore.

WILL OPEN UP THE
GOLDBUG-GRIZZLY.
J. J. Hennessy Takes Contract
For 700 Feet Of Work.

j. j. Hennessy has taken the con-
tract to do 700 feet of work on the
Gold bug Grizzly. There Is now a
shaft on the property 100 feet in
depth. 1t is midway between two
parallel veins. 1t will be sunk 200
feet deeper. At that point 1t Is
estimated that one Of the lodges will
be cut. A crosscut will be driven
to the other, and then both ledges will
be drifted on 100 feet in each
direction.
This work will tell the story. Six
or seven months will be required to
finish the contract.
The Goldbug Grizzly consists of
ten Gains, situated beyond the Ibex,
on the same system Of ledges. 1t
is controlled by syndicate Of
Minneapolis people, who, through
their representative, Judge Ley ybourn,
Of that city, while in Sumpter last
spring bought the interests Of Dan
Griffith and some smaller stock
holders who live In Spokane. Mr..
Hennessy refused to dispose Of his
sto OK, having great faith in the
property, and is now the largest
minority owner. He was retained
as superintendent Of the mine, but
this work will be done under con-
tract.
The mine is equipped with steam
power sinking plant, capable Of
going down 1000 feet. 1t will cost
$4,000 to do the work now con-
tracted for.
A contract has also been let to
have all Of the ten claims surveyed
for patent, which will be applied
for at once. The surveyors will
begin work In week or ten days.
will be commenced about
the same time.
