sequentiy proven that this was at
the point OF nearest approach of
the ore body to the surface. IA few
hundred feet distant another shaft
wai sunk similarly in gravel on
the cbrysoilte claim. The gravel
was passed through, but in place
of ore the prospector struck barren
porphyry. Disguised with his luck,
the prospector salted his claim, and
sold 1t for few thousands dollars

claim, upon discovering the deceit,
continued his shaft ten feet deeper,

HOW ROGERS TRIED
TO SQUARE GREEN

1t is an interesting story they
tell about the manner In which
the promoters Of the Amalgamated
Copper company just missed pro-
curing control Of Greene Consoli.
dated Copper. According &c the re-
ported facts, Il was an attempt on
the part Of Henry Il. Rogers to
grind w. &. Greene down to q
low figure, taking advantage Of the
latter's misfortunes. that lost Mr..
Rogers the opportunity Of seizins
the Sonora copper properties, inoor.
porated In Mr.. Greene's name.
During the recent raid on ooppers
in New York, under the guidance Of
Thomas W. Lawson, Greene Con-
soiidated Copper was one OF the
stocks that suffered. Mr.. Green
stepped into the breach, but II is
stated that In seeking to check the
decline, he bought 1876, 900 shares
that he was unable to pay for. The
story runs that Nj. Greene went to
Henry Il. RoeRrs aud explained
the situation. asking the father OF
AmalRansted to come to his relief.
Mr.. Rogers turned the matter over
to al associate, and the later showed
So strong u Opposition TO hsgale
over the price OF the stock that the
Sonora mining man withdrew from
the conference. Shortly afterward
he fixed up al agreement with the
American Metal company that
brought him relief aud at the same
time cut the Amslgamsted people
out of his considerations. The
l35. 900 shares, thus transferred,
would have given Mr.. Rogers con.
trcl of the Greene Consolidated.
This story Is related not SO much
for the moral ii contains, ~ for the
bearing which ii may have iu the
future upon the metal market.
Under Mr.. Greene's reported agree-
ment with the American Metal com
pany the latter will succeed to the
copper market contracts of the
Sonora company May J., l906-ths
date when the present contract Of
the United Metal Selling company
expires. The output of the Greene
properties in 1903 wss about 45. .000.-
600 pounds, aud In 1904, according
TO the estimates of HoI ace }. Stevens,
1t amounted to 55, 900, ,00C pounds.

A PLEASANT JAPANESE PARTY.

It was most attractive scene
that greeted the eyes of the guests
who had been invited to the M. E.
church by the Women Foreign
Missionary society for their annual
thanks Offering meeting, which was
held last Tuesday afternoon. On
entering the large parlor we seemed
to have been transported bodily to
the Mikado's domain. The ceiling
was covered with Japanese para
soils, lamps and lanterns, while the
walls were draped with the colors
and flags of the Gland of the Rising
Sum-" Large boughs of pink cherry
blossoms (the national fiower) lent
their brightness to the room. The
walls were also hung with engrav-
ings of idols, temples, eminent per-
sonages, scenery, etc, but the great
est surprise of all were the brilli-
ant young Japanese ladies who
received the guests.
There were two other women S
meetings being held at the same
time, yet some eighty guests assem-
bled and enjoyed the good program
prepared. There was one disap-
pointment-Miss Rouse, the mis-
sionary from Feechieu, China, had
been Frustrated by sickness and
was unable to fill her appointment
here. And when one thinks of the
! burdens she has been bearing, it is
not at all surprising. Among other
things, she has had direct charge
of girls boarding school with 80
inmates, that furnishes a seven
years course: also a training school
which prepares twenty bible wo-
men for their work every year
There is, too, an industrial school
with so inmates. To help carry on
this school Miss Rouse has sacri-
feed all her possessions, and now
gives the salary paid to her by the
society, to help prosecute the work.
Redwood Falls has done so much
for the mission at Feechieu, that
Miss Rouse especially desired to
come here.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-07-28

Because of the crowded condition
of trains on the o. r. & n. during
the rush of Lewis and Clark fair
travel. that road will be petitioned by
Pendleton people to place an extra
passenger train in service between
Portland and any point east of here
which the company may decide upon.
Today a petition was circulated ask
ing that a train be run at least dur
ing the the fair, in order that the
travel from eastern Oregon may be
properly accommodated and stating
as reasons for the demand that the
present trains, upon reaching this city
are always crowded to the limit of
their seating capacity and it is impos-
sible much of the time for Pendleton
people to secure either berths or seats
between this city and Portland.
1t is thought that general move
ment of the towns along the line of
the o. r. & n. between this city and
Boise for an extra train will induce
the company to place one in commits
sion during the fair.
Tho trains are now run I'm II to 10
car sections and are densely crowd
ed by tourists, the cars are necessar-
lily in bad condition when they reach
here and many people who would
have visited the fair before this have
delayed their visit because of the un-
comfortable conditions of travel now
The idea of the petitioners for the
train is that a local train between
Salt Lake City and Portland, run on
schedule time, and leaving Portland
at 10 o'clock at night, would be a
great accommodation to eastern Or
egOn, eastern Washington and Idaho
people and should be placed in serv-
ice. This would leave the through
trains for the tourist travel and would
furnish local people a clean, fresh
train always upon time, upon which
to travel to and from the fair.
1t is conceded by all points along
the line that the bulk of the local
travel to the fair has not yet begun.
People in oregon, Idaho and Wash
ington expect to go in large numbers
to the fair during the last two
months and this train seems to be
urgently needed.
BY connecting here with the Walla
Walla and Spokane train at o'clock
this extra train from Portland would
accommodate large number of
Umatilla and Walla Walla people who
