Before the Grand Jury.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 28.-Bent with
his more than three score years and
ten, and leaning upon the arm OF his
law partner, the white-haired senior
senator from Oregon, John H. Mitch
ell, who tor the better part of quar-
ter of a century has represented his
state in the federal congress, today
went into the governments inquisit-
orial chamber to tell what he knew
concerning the frauds which the gov
ernment he has served so long be-
lieves has been perpetrated upon tt in
the acquisition of it's public lands.
Tired and careworn, he came from
the jury room at the noon hour, only
to return in the afternoon. Later,
when the senator left the court house,
apparently nervous and worried, II
was stated that the investigation, SC
far as Mr.. Mitchell was concerned
had ended.

they believe her innocent of the crime

some consideration of this question.

some consideration of this question.
I'VE will no doubt be confronted, as
other states are, with questions OF an
interstate nature, and | would suggest
that an arrangement be provided for
with the sister states on our borders
whereby the theory of the supreme
court decision may be carried out.
namely, that priority of right should
be recognized regardless OF state
lines A compact is now proposed be-
tween Wyoming and Nebraska where
by the principles now recognized by
each state, independent of the other
may be recognized in joint deter
mination of rights on interstate
streams.
among the reasons for the duty
enjoined upon the state engineer to
become acquainted with the needs OF
the state as to irrigation matters it
may be safely assumed that the most
important is this: That as far as
possible every cubic foot OF available
water may be put into service upon
some thirsty acre of arid land; and
that where water is not to be found in
any natural stream that may be di-
verted upon given tract, that this
fact may be known and definitely
known, so that whatever effort may
be made toward it's reclamation may
be wholly confined to conservation OF
water in that behalf.
"It is unquestionably fact that in
the state of Montana there are mill
lions Of acres of arid land not now re-
claimed and every acre OF the same
may be watered, for the facilities are
ours, and if the general government
is pledged to look after those gigantic
schemes that are out of our reach we
ought to address ourselves bravely to
the ask of subduing the rest.'

SAVES ALL BypRoDucTs
NEW PROCESS OF TREATING RE-
FRAcToRY ORES.
Extraction Of Different Metals Made
by Combination of Chemicals
and Electricity.

Deadwood, S. D., Dec. 2S.-Doctor j.
A. Ogden, chemist, is building an ore
reduction mill in the lower part OF
town which is destined to do wonders
in the cheap handling of low grade
working on patents covering his dis
coveries and inventions and is getting
112-ton mill ready to treat ores by
his new process. The ordinary cyan
ide process does not secure all of the
gold and silver in the ore, there being
a loss in most mills of 20 per cent
Doctor Ogden says he will not only
save all the gold and silver in the
ore, but also the by products, such as
lead, zinc and nickel In several in
stances here in the Hills, also at Vic
tor, Colo, and at mine in British
Columbia, his tests have saved enough
of the byproducts to pay the entire
cost of mining and milling the ore.
leaving the gold and silver profit.
The mechanical part of the mill is
simple. The ore is crushed very fine
and is kept automatically in constant
motion. The finer the ore is crushed
the easier it is handled In the ordi-
nary cyanide process the fine ore
forms Shines which are hard to
handle.
Over 25 years ago Doctor Ogden be-
gan experimenting to find a solution
OF chamicals that would take out the
values in gold, silver and other met
ais. He lived at Philadelphia and
came to Deadwood six years ago to be
nearer the mines. He has had hund-
! reds of samples of ore sent him from
all over the world. Some OF. the most
hificult oressof Australia, others from
Mexico, have yielded up practically
all of their values by the Ogden pro-
cess. All of his extractions are made
| by a combination of chemicals, which
are helped by electricity. The time
required for reducing the hardest kind
of ore is from three to six hours. No
! zinc is used in the precipitation OF
values, an acid taxing its place. A
cleanup can be made every day in
stead of semi-monthly.
| Doctor Ogden will treat 10 Otons OF
Doctor Ogden will treat 100 tons OF
12.ton tanks which will be used for
the testing of ores entirely. Here in
| the Hills it will mean the handling
OF ore running as low as $3.50 ton
gold. Several mining companies are
waiting to use the Ogden process in
their new mills.
