SPLENDID RUINS FOUND.
Rhodesia the Site of Finest Shrine
Ever Discovered.

Richard n. Hall who has given
eight years to the study of the an
cient monuments in southern Rhode
sio, says that none of the hundreds
of ruins has been more than parti-
ally explored, says the Geographical
Journal. Many important ruins have
been seen only by casual travellers,
and the work of unearthing only
part of the Great zimbabwe area
would be more than the labor of
lifetime. Still, researches have made
great progress In the past few years.
There are in Rhodesia no less
than 300 distinct ruins and groups Of
ruins. Only few of these are entit-
led to rank as ancient" The larger
part of them probably do not date
back of the thirteenth fourteenth and
fifteenth centuries.
There is overwhelming evidence at
the Great Zimbabwe OF the ancient CIV
iization and arts possessed by the
builders of the earliest periods. The
Zimbabwe temple is the finest and
most intact example of a nature wor-
shipping shrine known to the world
Its construction points unmistaka-
bly, to some knowledge OF geometry
and and astronomy on the part Of
the builders. 1t is quite certain that
even the cruder methods of Zimbao-
we of applying this knowledge, which
was common to the ancient Semitic
peoples, were imported from the near
east and did not originate in south
east Africa.
The right ascension of the sun, the
heliacal rising and the meridian pas
sages of stars are believed to have
been noted at Zimbabwe. These an
cient builders were also past masters
in the science of military defense
the walls showing that the builders
were military strateglsts of the high
est order.
Their gold ornaments, finely de-
signed and engraved, could not have
been the work of uncivilized people,
and the hundreds of ancient gold
mines show that they were skilled in
metallurgy and pick out rich shoots,
patches and pockets with marvellous
cleverness. 1t Is estimated that from
these widespread mines they extract
ed 1876, 900, 900 of gold.

OREGON IN THE LEAD.
Rifle Shoot at Sea Girt are Ore
gOnianS.

Three of Six Leading Marlsmcn at
Rifle Shoot at Sea Girt are Ore
gonians.
The military rifle tournament now
being held at Sea Glrt, N. j., is show
ing the Oregon National Guard up in
fine condition. The first days shoot
ing at targets brought out 657 rifle
men, representing almost every state
and every organization in the regu-
lar army, including the officers train
ing schools at West Point and Annapo-
lis.
The leading six competitors named
in the dispatches include three Ore
gon National Guardsmen, a showing
of which the state may we'll be proud.
The six named given special mem
ton are:
Sergean Gilbert Oregon; DIR. Houck
of Roseburg. Oregon; Lieutenant Bo-
wen Of Iowa. 46 each. Sergeant Hird,
Iowa; Captain Lee, California, as
each. Corporal U. s. Rider, of Salem,
Oregon, and Sergeant Agostini. Ha-
wall. A each.
Each competitor fires 10 shots each
at 200, 300, 500 and 500 yards, slow
fire, and a similar number at 200 and
600, rapid fire, and participants in two
skirmlsh runs.

claim made by the local promoters
of the enterprise, says the Seattle
Star.
Until quite recently two rival par
ties We're engaged in promoting the
enterprise. but these have been
brought into harmony and there is
now no serious obstacle in the way OF
going ahead with construction work.
Colonel A. W. swantz, who repre-
sents to lies interests, has been at
Valdez the greater portion of the sum
mer carrying on preliminary work and
John Rosene visited that place recent
ly in the interests of the rival COM
pany.
A. b. lies of New York, who has
been working on the project for four
years, was in Valdez at the time and
the three men got together and, 1t is
reported, pooled their interests.
A powerful influence in bringing the
warning interests together was the
fact that both realized that it would
be impossible to enlist outside capital
in either scheme while there was a
contest for the right of way, and a
construction war on to decide which
company would first occupy It, With
this in view the rival companies have
been harmonized, to the end that the
capital for the construction of the
line is now assured.

Peach Week" for Benton County.

This is called peach week" at the
Benton booth Of the Lewis and Clark
fair. Nearly everything has been
cleared out of the way to make room
for the luscious peaches from Ben
tons orchards. Monday. these peaches
will be handed out free Of charge to
all visitors at the booth, in generous
quantity, and when the supply is ex-
hausted, the booth will be stocked
with Benton prunes artistically ar
ranged by S. f. Trask, who Is in
charge OF the exhibit. After a few
days, the prunes will be given out in
paper sacks on which will be printed
a good word about Benton and her re-

original with Benton county. and that
it will be an attractive feature at

RECORD KEEPER.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-08-29

The Blue Mountain American of
sumpter gives the following account
of the discovery of a remarkably rich
body of gold ore in an abandoned
mine near Bald mountain.
One of the most remarkable strikes
yet recorded in eastern Oregon is
herewith announced in the uncover
ing this week of one of the richest,
If not the very richest surface pay
shoots opened in this land of gold.
Remarkable not alone from the
quartz, full ten inches wide, being
shotted and sprinkled with free gold
and running into the thousands of
dollars wer ton but from the fact
that as depth is attained in the
GLORY hole" the paystreak is widen
ing, as when the representative of
the American left there yesterday
morning it had increased to almost
a foot in width, and the highly inter
esting stories connected with its loca-
ton and abandonment by the origi-
nal locator and subsequent location
and abandonment four times by peo-
pie well known throughout the dis
trict
The strike was made in what is
known as the Nugget group, acquired
this year by Dan Dunno, A. NJ. Bess-
Ter and Chas, Butler, three of the
best known underground workers in
the district and who are now lifted
from wage earners to owners of a
property that bids fair to place mag
nificent sums to their credit.
Fast as the phenomenally rich ore
can be extracted it is sacked by two
of them while the third is busily en-
gagged in cutting a trail to the con-
Meeting wagon road just below the
Bald mountain hoist and tomorrow
some two or three tons of the rich
stuff will be packed over and brought
to the Sumpter smelter.
Speaking of its richness, Chas. F.
Chatten, travelling correspondent of
this paper who has just returned
from the scene of the great strike
said: 1T is undoubtedly the richest
ore yet opened on the surface in the
camp and from paintings made right
at the GLORY hole" it is safe to say
that every ton taken from the pay
streak will run far above $4,000 per
ton and some of the ore will most GER
tainly run above $4,000 per ton.
The group is situated about eight
miles from Sumpter on the east slope
of Bald mountain and was originally
located in 1896 and abandoned; re-
| located the following year, abandon
ed again and remained idle till 1900;
located and abandoned again and re-
manned idle unnoticed till 1t was re-
located and Incorporated in the Com
| bination Gold Mining company in
| 1903 under the name of the United
Bullion group.
Internal discussion arose among
the officials of that organization and
not even the assessment work was
performed and it was relocated by a
well known mining man of Sumpter,
who also abandoned 1t and this year
it was relocated by the present own
ers who have found the treasure
vault.

out to be ulifOUndcd. Captain Zilotti
the aide-de-Canlp of Minister of Ma

statement that Eojestvensky has not
applied to be relieved from duty. How
ever, the condition of the admiral's
health continues to be a source of anX-
icty. 1t is confirmed that the report that
he had applied to be relieved may have
arisen ont of the virtual decision in
view Of the condition Of RoiestvenslSy's
health to send Vice Admiral Birileff to
ladivostok. where in the event Ro-
icstTe:iSky's success in the coming bat
'lc. Ririlef will take over the SUI
