MINING NOTES.

A station is being cut at the las
foot level In the Black Butte shaft.
AS soon as this work Is completed
the hfty.ton Merrill mill will
begin dropping stamps.
Carlton, a New York mining ex-
pert, who recently examined the
Columbia. South America, placer
mines, owned by the Empire Dredg-
ing Il Gold Mining comsny, is now
at John Day, looking after the
dredging ground OF the ssme company
at that place, upon which the old
POmeroy dredger is operating. lt'is
rumored that big plans are being
outlined for future development.

PORTLAND
PLAYS HOG

The Oregon Miners association
will not be an exclusive aud select
club for Portland stock brokers and
southern Oregon mining promoters.
The recently proposed plan to In.
crease the mem bership fee from %,
% at present, to 025 per annum
has been boloed by the executive
committee. It 10 the plau TO re.
organize the association at the next
annual meeting, to be held, OF course,
10 Portland, on November IA. The
real purpose of the reorganization
plan is told by the Portland Tels.
gram In the following language:
'Anothsr important matter that
will be taken up for recommended
to the Oregon delegation at Washing.
ton will be the establishment of q
government assay Office at Portland.
Montana, California, Idaho, Utah
and other Pacific mining states have
government assay Offices where miners
can get tests of ores made without
expense. end It is contended that the
mining interests of Oregon are of
sufficient Importance to justify the
establishment of an assay Office
directly under federal control" "
Another matter to bs discussed,
according to schedule, will be an
smendmant to or repeal of the Eddy
law. The legislature may also be
importuned to make appropriations
for building wagon roads to isolated
mining districts, to provide for
mineral surveys, and for legislation
regarding annual assessment work on
mining claims.
The real purpose. however, Of
the meeting Is to secure for Portland
a governmental assay Office. In an
attempt to hodowink the remainder
of the state, the Portland Telegram
doth protest too much. 1t says:
portland members Of the execu.
tive committee wish to disabuse any
impression that may prevail that
Portland desires to control the or
ganization of the Oregon Miners
association. The larger number of
the members of this committee are
residents of eastern and southern
Oregon. and 1t Is expected that the
mining men outside of Portland will
take the lead In the reorganization"
IL Ia safe to assert that not more
than one delegate from eastern Ore
Ron, aud not a single delegate from
the Sumpter district association
will be present at the Portland meet
ing. 1t Is the de,ire of the mining
men Of this section to divorce them
selves from the Portland body aud
form an absolutely independent
association.

Private reports that have reached
Berlin Of the latest evidence at the
Kishinef trial supply the strongest
proof Of Russian official completely in
the massacre Ustrugov, ex-vlce gov
ernor, and Chadschenkoy, ex-chlef OF
notice, testified that both the military
and police had positive orders not to
interfere with the rioters. UsrugoV
said that he appealed to the leaders
of the mob on the second day TO modl-
fy their fury, but was ridiculed.
Chadschekov stated that the ponce
were too weak to suppress the rot,
and that the troops were merely will
ing to ward off direct attacks by the
mob on themselves. Commander
Rauch of the Twenty fourth dragons
testified that the police We're absolute
ly indifferent and refused to make any
charge against the arrested rioters.
Rauch said that orders to use Weap-
ons did not reach him until o'clock IN
the afternoon, after the mob had been
at work for twelve hours. Even 1heh
the troops were permitted to use only
sabers According to Rauch the at
tempt to restore order was unsyste-
matte and half hearted thruout.

How much the members Of his class
divest themselves of the consciousness
of his personal position is question.
Probably they don't do it much. At
first. at any rate, it is Mr.. Rockefeller
that they come to hear-not the young
man who seems to be devoting this
part Of his life to forgetting that he
is Mr.. Rockefeller. And probably 1t
does not make very much dlHerence
to him whether they forget or not,
provided he gets their ear and the
chance to work among them an that
basis.
Rockefeller and Franklin.
Judging from all that have heard
Mr.. Rockefeller say and all of his talk
that has been credibly reported, he
never undertakes to maintain any
other social doctrine than that of hard
work, diligence in business, and scrup-
ulous fidelity to personal duty accord
| ing to the thrifty standard that has
been growing into religion In this
country ever since Franklin wrote it's
Bible-which he called "Poor Rich
ards Almanac" It would be possible
| to match any one of Poor Richards
maxim's with something that young
Mr.. Rockefeller has said to his class:
"God helps them that help them
Selves" Plough deep while sluggards
Sleep ''Dost thou love life, then do;
not squander time, for that Is the stuff
life is made Of" and SO on-all Frank
line In this vein, listen now to Mr..
Rockefeller: 1.-THE chief thing in life
is to do something-to work" 1T is
I by doing the work that is at hand that
/ we become useful and successful
Success comes by doing the common
everyday things of life uncommonly
we'll" "The man who despises hard
. work with the hands never gets
there;'" There are three chief requls-
ties for a successful business man; the
first is honesty-absolute honesty,
the second is industry, and the third Is
perseverance"
Busy VS.. Idle Wealth.
+ He has talked once or twice against
a certain kind Of wealth, and thereby
brought on himself the charge OF
hypocrisy. But the kind Of wealth
| that he inveighs against is not wealth
: that is got by labor and held under a
sense Of responsibility. 1t Is idle
\ wealth, or, rather, the effect OF wealth
: on idle individuals, that he seems to
deprecate.

and her hat was tied closely over her
ears. She leaned against the taffrail,
enjoying the cool breeze after hours
of sultry heat. The sky was cloudless
yet, but there was queer tinge or
FURNISHED copper in the all-pervading
sunshine. The sea was coldly blue.
The life had gone out Of It. It was
no longer inviting and translucent
That morning, were such a thing prac-
ticable she would have gladly dived
into it's crystal depths and disported
herself like a frolicsome mermaid.
Now something akin to repulsion
, came with the fanciful remembrance.
Long. sullen undulations swept
noiselessly past the ship. Once, after
a steady climb up rolling hill Of
water, the Sirdar quickly pecked at
the succeeding valley, and the pro-
peller gave a couple of angry flaps
on the surface, whilst a tremor ran
girls arms rested.
The crew were busy, too. Squads
/ of Lascars raced about, industriOusly
| obedient to the short shrill whistling
of jemadars and quartermasters. Boat
lashings were tested and frightened,
canvas awnings stretched across the
deck forward ventilator cOWls twisted
to new angles, and matches clamped
down over the wooden gratings that
covered the holds. Officers, spotless
in white linen, fitted quietly to and
fro. When the watch was changed,
Iris noted that the "chief" appeared
in an old blue suit and carried oil
4 skins over his arm as he climbed to
the bridge.
I. Nature looked disturbed and fitful,
and the ship responded to her mood.
There was a sense Of preparation in
the air, of coming ordeal, of restless
: foreboding. Chains clanked with a
