Brlaas Claim In Two States.

As to the much mooted point as to
whether the famous Briggs discovery
i. in Oregon or California, surveys
have shown. Z. I. Staples says
that the ledge runs from south
east to northwest and that the
property is partly in Oregon and
partly in California. When he and
his companions are gathered about
the dinaer table in their camp one Of
them is seated across the line in
California, while the other three are
eating 10 Oregon. Tie Wounded
Buck claim. which is a continuation
Of the Briggs discovery, is almost
wholly over the state line.

"Dingl dinpl dingrn

"Ding ding dingl"
1t was the engineers bell sounding
the alarm in the hosting room to
"down cage" We stepped aboard the
narrow platform that hung by long
cable at the collar of the dark shaft.
Then one of the miners who accom-.
panies us closed little gate, and we
were penned in like cattle on ferry,
"Ding! ding !"
Instantly the platform dropped
from under us, and we two tender
feet grasped wildly about us for
something to clutch. The first thing
| found was my stomach. A rugged
miner gave very loud and most un-
pretty laugh, as if amased at our dis.
comfort. We had gone up and down
on elevators before, and swift ones at
that, but never before had we been
dropped from under our hats. Two
good breakfasts came very nearly
being spoiled right there.
Flicker flicker flicker -
And every flicker was station
lighted by electric globes, and every
station was 100 feet-none of your 19-
foot stories in a. skyscraptr. We
were going down into mine, one OF
the very biggest mines in the state OF
Oregon.
Down. down, down, we went. 100,
200, 800, 400, and on to 700 and finally
came to stop with slow jerk, just
as boat does when run against a
mud bank. We were at the 800 foot
level. Here the gate was opened and
we scrambled out of the cage, two al
least very glad the trip was over.
1t was Z O'Clock in the morning ant
we had come down with the first oi
the day shift. The lower level il
manned first, then the one above, ant
so on till all are manned for the day
shift.
Through the kindness Of the shift
boss, great big man, with Lantern
jaws and steel gray eyes, we wer'
shown thro ugh the mine. He gave III
each a candle and miners candle
stick, and led the way. We took I
candlostick, with its hook and sharI
beak, held it out before us and fol
lowed. The boss turned on us ant
said
"That's not the way to hold I
stick That was the way you car
ried one when you went upstairt
to bed several years ago, but it won
work down here. Lookyl See, pu
your thumb through the loop, throw
the beak over your wrist, and carry i
that away"

st. Petersburg, Aug. 20.-Acute anx-
iety prevails regarding the situation
at Port Arthur on account of the des-
perate character of the fighting as
reported taking place. The war Office
does not seem to believe that danger
Of the fall Of the fortress is so immi-
nent as is generally asserted. Ac-
cording to advices received by the
war Office, there is still an ample sup
ply of ammunition and provisions
there. While it is realized that the
japanese probably outnumber the de-
tenders six or seven fold, the great
strength of the Notifications. it is be-
lieved, will do much to make up for
the disparity in numbers.
Upon one point there is absolute
unanimity here. namely. that IL the
fortress falls the fleet will not fall
into the hands Of the japanese. On
this point the admiralty's instructions
are Of the most imperative character

Vice Admiral Prince ouktomsky has

is to destroy his ships.
In the meantime. Vice Admiral Ro
