of high living on Sims dinners. w.

Mr.. Hopkins will be the general man
ager and will spend large part of his
time at the mine On his recent
trip from Chicago, he was accom-.
panied by his sons, John G. Hopkins
and r. S. Hopkins. The young men
have been students at the Michigan
State School Of Mines from which the
older one, John G.. graduated recently.
They will bo a part of the force at
the mine and John G. Hopkins will
have charge of the books. Both are
bright, energetic appearing young
men, and with the opportunity TO add
the practical to their theoretical
knowledge, they will likely become
competent mining engineers.
The nine claims Of the Eagle group
cover four parallel lodges, having a
width, as shown by the development
work, heretofore done. of ll6 feet,
36 feet, 10 feet and seven feet, The
lowest assay yet made from these
lodges yielded 81 per ton while much
of the ore aus as high as $50 Thus
/ having such an immense quantity
Of ore and Of good values, the Eagle
| is certain to become one Of the great
est producing mines in Southern
/ Oregon The development work for
the next three months will be by
hand, but if by that time the showing
lis still satisfactory, power drills
will be installed, the power to be
derived from the Illinois river, The
river at this point is very good for
I power purposes aud a plant capable Of
developing 5000 horsepower can be
/ had at very reasonable cost With
such an abundance OF cheap power
Immediately by the property, and Of
an ore body of good grade and that il
OF such immense size as to supply a
2jo stamp mill for the next century,
/ thera is no reason that the Golden
Eagle mine should not become big
producer, like the great Treadwell and
Houestlke mines, with its stock in
eager demnad ut 200 and 800 per cent
above par Thac this expectation
. will Dee realized in the Golden Eagle,
appears to be quite certain, for there
is ample capital back Of the Company
to meet every expense Of equippinl
the property and with this done,
Southern Oregon will have one great
mine that will ba the forerunner OF
other mines of equal size, for wher
this district is fully developed there
will be other properties in number
not exceeded by that OF the bes
gold mining districts of the world.

THE MT. BALDY DISTRICT
Many Prospects, Which Some Day
Will Be Producing Mines.

There is a likelihood that the Jewett
mine, located on Mt. Baldy four
miles southeast of Grants Pass. is to
be again put in operation. This mine
has been shut down for several years,
but at one time 1t was rich producer
and made money for the owners. The
surface ore was high grade, free
milling ore, but on lower depths be-
ing reached, the ore became base and
could no longer be handled by the
quartz mill with which the mine
was equipped. The cyanide process
had not then come into general use,
so the mill, which has five stamps,
has stood idle. J. $. Hoar who re-
sides at the mine and has charge Of
the property. has received word from
Benjamin Healey, the owner Of the
mine, and who resides in San Fran
cisco, that he will arrive in Grants
Pass in short time and will then
take up the proposition of installing
a cyanide plant at his mine
The extensive development work
heretofore done on the Jewett has
proved that the mine has an extensive
lodge carrying good values and that
it could be made one of the big pro-
ducers of Southern Oregon, were it
equipped with proper machinery for
handling the ore. Tho successful
operation of the Jewett mine would
give big impetus to mining in the
Mt. Baldy district. This district
embraces Mt Baldy, Green and
Grouse mountains, and each Of these
buttes, for they lack considerable in
size to be mountains. is rich in
quartz ledges, there now being over
30 lodges that have been located and
as more thorough prospecting work
is done, more lodges are found.
Nearly every ledge so far found pros
poets well aud there is every reason
TO believe that many Of these claims
will yet prove to bo valuable. This
district is exceptionally well located
as to accessibility by roads and to
water power from Rogue river
There is good wagon road from the
district to Grants Pass on an easy
grade and the haul is but from four
to eight miles from the railroad to
the various mines Rogue river flows
by the foot of Mt Baldy and at this
point in the river is located the big
dam and power plant of the Golden
Drift Mining & Power Company. 70
string wires from this great power
plant to the mines, would be an easy
matter aud electric power could be
delivered at a price much less than
steam power would cost The de-
velopment Of the 1T Badly district
lying as It does so near Grants Pass,
would be very large factor in the
prosperity Of this city, for the pay
roll and the trade would be practically
as though within the city itself.
Nearly all the claims in the MT
Baldy district are held by men of
limited means and until capitalists
can be induced to invest in this dis
trict, its development will be very
slow To show investors what they
have, the claim holders of this dis.
trict intend in the noar future to
place sample Of orc from every
ledge now opened in the minerals

Minors Association. They also will

every share he could possibly buy to his
holdings since the fight began two months
ago.
Any effort to wind up the business of the
Equitable would doubtless provoke hostile

While the affairs of the Equitable Life

begun yesterday by Head Examiner Isaac

of the Equitable from now until the COM

weeks or months.
The institution begun yesterday was In
compliance with a formal request lodged
with the state insurance department by
President James w. Alexander on February

This bears out the statement that MI:

ALLEGED HYDE THREAT.
Reported if Pushed Too Far He Will
Wind Up Equitable.

IF 1 am pushed too far you must re-
member that l will still have the right to
apply to the courts for a receiver of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society, and as
the owner of a majority of its stock my
right to wind up the affairs of the society
cannot be disputed"
It was declared yesterday in New York
that James HaZen Hyde made this threat
in substantially these words at a recent
stormy conference with the representatives
of President James w. Alexander
Mr.. Hyde it is said, made the threat in
fit of anger. A man not friendly to
Mr. Hyde and who has an intimate knowl-
edge of the affairs of the Equitable and of
the law bearing upon the matter declared
that Mr.. Hyde had the legal power to carry
his threat into operation. but that he had
learned that even the most ardent follow
ers and supporters of the young vice presi-
dent would oppose any effort to arbitrarily
end the brilliant life of the Equitable So
ciety, the greatest life insurance company
in the world.
The company. 1t was said, could be wound
up by reinsuring all of the GOO 600 policy
holders of the Equitable in other first-class
companies and turning over to each of the
companies taking a portion of the reinsur-
ance a proper share of the assets of the
Equitable. to be applied as reserve fund
against the transferred policies

of the Equitable reserve fund, which on the
first of the year amounted to $3sS, 1SS ISl. Oh,
1t would leave a surplus of $S0194, 2G9.21, It
is claimed. for division among the stock

The assemblage was welcomed by Mr..

prominent people manifesting by their
presence their interest in the work for God

drink and urged all present to give "a long
pull. a strong pull and pull together IN be-
half of sobriety and morality.
Mr. John G. Quigley then took charge or
the meeting, and in a few happy remarks
said the members of John B. Henderson
Tent proposed to make 1t the banner tent

DESERTIoNs FROM THE NAVY.
Most of Them Are From the Force of
Coal Passers.

Desertlons in the United States navy have
been made the subject of a thorough in
quiry by the bureau OF navigation tbs
report shows that of an enlisted force of
3o,O6G men 10.7 per cent deserted Most Of
the assertions were from the engine room
force. principally coal passers, force of
unframed and unskilled men who are noe
subject to the strict discipline governing
abe seaman branch.
The assertions from the seaman branch
amounted to I.9G per cent. while the engine
room force showed ITO per cent. In the
force of messmen the largest number of de-
sertions were found, being 23.15 per cent.
That is the only branch in the navy in
which a man who is not citizen OF the
United States can enlist. In the opinion of
the officers who have studied the question.
desertion in that branch resolves itself into
the servant question, one which is not
wholly confined TO the naval service"
