THE ELK TRAIL co.
Prepared to Do Much Work on
Placer Claims Next Season.
ELEVATOR is INSTALLED
May Erect Custom Mill at Mouth Of
Crooked River in Spring.

The Elk Trail Mining Co. which
has been carrying on operations
on it's placer ground at mouth of
Crooked river all summer, has
closed down for the winter, and
nearly all the men have gone out
side. Manager Beekman left
several days ago, and the balance
of the party, most of whom are
Cleveland (Ohio) men, left the
forepart of this week. Manager.
Beekman speaking of the COM
pany and its property, said:
{ 1--WE have shut down the plant
for the winter after making a
cleanup of the few yards of bed
rock which was uncovered while
making the trial tests Of the new
elevator installed this summer.
The mistakes of the manufact-
urer in construction of pulleys
used in the transmission of power
on the elevator could not be cor
rected before November 1st, too
late to put. elevator in operation
again this season, SO work was
postponed until spring. The
cleanup was made by shoveling
into a short bedrock sluice, and
ran one dollar to the yard,
"The company has a very inter-
esting device for cleaning bed
rock which they will put in ope-
ration as soon as the work is be-
gun in the spring" said Mr..
Beekman. "Our company is also
considering the .-advAability of
putting in a custom mill, by way
of partly utilizing the excellent
water power which we control,
and to do some development work
on our quartz claims, as well as
accommodate several in ths,vicin-
ity of the mouth of Crooked river
who haye good showings, and
would go deeper if they could
better themselves financially by
milling some of the ore now on
the Dump"
Mr.. Brown, secretary of the
company, Harry Bogue and Man
ager Beekman walked to Sites.
They left camp, at 6:10 a. m. and
arrived in Sites at HOO a. m.
next day.

LET OWNERS KNOW
Stockholders In Mines Should Have
Right to Information.
WOULD BE GREAT AID
Investors Would Have More Confi-
dence in Stock Business.

In the discussion of the great
industry Of mining in the north
west there are many interesting
features that call for comment
such as the discovery of the
Bunker Hill ore by a jackass, the
great advance in Federal, many
other quiet deals and then the re-
cent advance in, the Sullivan
stock and it's previous depression,
says the gdtte Ipter-Modntaini.
A short TIME ago that stock was
worth. on the market, about two
cents per share. During all this
time, the company was working
it's mine and mill. What was be-
ing DEVELOPED, the STOCKHOLDERS
did not know, so they sold their
stock---that is, some of them did
for what was offered on the
local board. Since that time Is
cents have been bid for the Same
stocks.
The company netted 100000
by its annual report last year,
yet the minority stockholders
we're not aware of what was go
ing on at the property. This is a
common method of handling min
ing properties. The management
knows what is doing, but The
stockholders may not.
The stockholders of a mine
should know, what the directors
of that company are doing. tits
the duty of those directors to in
form the other owners of the
property of everything of import.
ance that is going on. The offic-
ials should only represent the
stockholders and should not con-
ceal from them vital facts con-
cerning the status of the prop
erty.,
Wien mining business is run
on that principle there will be
more sane mining apd more con-
fidence in the mining business.
1t is for the best interests of the
mining industry in the northwest
that some effort be, made to see
that these ordinary business meth
DDS are employed in mining enter
prises.

offender and has surved 4 turn allready

The editorial Tie judge takes eseeep-
tion to appeared in last weeks issue Of

Tom Mox Mox, an Indian living near
Sites. was assessed q fine of $500 and
costs ,of prosecutions and given a sent
ence Of six months In the county Jail,
for beating his. wife: That's more pun
ishment than most of the bankers get
who systematically steal other peoples
hard earnings, and it is way in excess
of the punishment given the. white man
for the same offenSe, citizen trained
in the ways of civilization and, who
ought Ito know better. II, the, Sites
judge is endeavoring to establish rep
utation as man who believes in law
enforcement let him give, as severe. d
sentence to some of the more refined
members of society who are more guilty
than Mox Mox, who is just an Indian.

HOW TO SAVE GOLD
Placer Miners Lose Through Faulty
Construction Of Rifles.
THE BEST KIND OF RIFLES
Old Miner Says To Give Water in
siuice 4 Free Flow.

Dennis Stovall in Ores and Met
ais: Millionsof dollars have been
lost to the placer miners of west
ern America diting the past fifty
years because of inadequate or in
correctly constructed rifles in the
sluices. Only in recent years
have placer miners come to a full
understanding of the Importance
of having the right kind of rifle
installed in their sluices. Form
erly the whole object of the sur
face diggers was to move the
dirt, to tear down the gravel
blindly. thinking the gold would
take care of itself. The dredger,
with its excellent system of rifles
and modern gold-saving devices,
has been the chief factor in lead
ing placet miners to see and
understand the Importance of this
feature Of surface mining. In
fact the highest percent of gold
is saved by the dredger; the old.
time rocker is second on the list;
the ground sluice is third, and
the hydraulic mine is fourth.
Though the hydraulic mine moves
much more gravel than all the
others, it Saves less gold, the loss
being due Solely to inadequate
rifles.
The trouble comes from the tod
generally accepted notion that
che old-t time methods are all right,
and that the Hungarian, the
block, the cross and all other
riff1es cannot be improved upon,
The writer has made a special
Study of rifles Used in various
Pacific coast placer mines and has
come to the conclusion that from
thirty to forty per cent of the
total gold values of the diggings
are lost because of poor rifles.
Miners spend too much of their
time and money in making the
mining end of their mine bigger
ahd better, and fail to look out
for the saving end. The bitches;
pipe line and giants are the best
that money can buy or scientific
skill produce, while the rifles and
sluices are the satne type as that
employed in the pioneer diggings.
of half a century ago. 1t is a
plain case Of saving at the bung
but wasting at the spigot."
An investigation was made this
season into the cause for loss suf-
fered in the attempted saving of
gold in one of the largest hy-
draulic mines of southern Oregon
Though this property has been in
operation for fifty years, the
owner has long realized that his
returns were not what they should
be. He had used the block rifle,
the steel rifle, Hungarian and all
other of the accepted forms, but
found gold in the dump from all
of them. No matter how long
the sluices were strung out, the
fine gold and the platinum went
over, and not little of the coarser
pieces. Tits miner examined the
deeper holes along the course of
the bed rock race, leading to the
sluices, Ind always found gold
below and above, but never in the
hole. Scores of these holes were
cleaned out annually, with hope

HAS A HAT-cHAsING GRAFT
How Giuseppe Converts a Parental
Whipping Into Feast and
Makes Much Money
special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
NEW YORK, April 17-Giuseppe An
geliCo stood with a stick In his hand
yesterday afternoon in the Cave OF the
Winds in the financial district. Gius-
eppe seemed to be dreaming of the
blue skies Of Naples when he was spied
by his father, Michael, who shovels dirt
and has been doing the same thing
since he brought the "baba" to this
country at the beginning Of the subway
excavation.
To see the boy so trifling filled the
heart of his father with anger. But
Giuseppe, who seemed to be loafing
with the medltative eyes Of a COW, was
alert to every danger and every oppor
tunity. AS his enraged parent rushed
for him the boy ducked and slid his
stick between his fathers legs with the
result that Michael fell heavily.
The dreamy Giuseppe spied a hat
sailing down the street and lodged
among trolley cars and trucks until
he had captured somebody's headgear.
Then he began to wipe off the dirt
from the hat, which he handed over to
q bald-headed man very much out of
breath. He received fifty cents In pay
ment for his services.
Meantime the practical Michael had
gone home to tell his patient wife that
their son was a criminal, who stood on
street corners to whistle and loaf when
he ought to be selling newspapers. And
when Maria, the wife, had fed him
with spaghetti cooked in garlic, Michael
sat down to smoke his pipe and caress
a cane ready for the homecoming OF his
boy. He fell asleep.
There was a whistling on the stairs
of the strange air Yankee Doodle"
The mother leaned over the banister
to whisper a caution, but Giuseppe
would not listen. He stormed into the
room, emptied his pockets of half dol
lars, quarters and dimes enough to
make a sum almost equal to what his
father could make in a week. Then he
tickled his father in the ribs with his
stick. Jumping back. he pointed with
the stick to the silver.
ga t'ief." said the old man.
"No, no." said Giuseppe. Better
graft"
Then he explained that though there
was profit in selling newspapers after
school hours, yet on a windy day there
was more money in rescuing hats. A
bottle of red wine was brought and
when the boy had eaten to his hearts
content. three candles were lighted be-
fore the Iithograph of the Madonna
and the child, hanging in the family
bedroom.

NEW YORK, April 17.-The stock
market followed about the same course
today as it did yesterday The early
advance appeared to be in the nature of
testing operations and the indifference
of the outside response proved so far
disappointing to the professional ele-
movement that they retreated very gen
orally from their position and resold
their takings.
Foreign markets had resumed opera
tions today after their prolonged holi-
day and good augury was drawn from
the tranquility with which New York S
large acquisitions of gold were ac-
tanned above the level where gold could
be shipped at profit, even with the
allowance under. the United States
ment funds at the banks against en-
gagements of gold for import.
The demand on Iondon's gold supply
was so far relaxed that the price Of gold
bars was allowed to drop back Nd an
ounce and the London discount rate was
unaffected.
The efficiency of the measure adopted
by the United States treasury to en-
courage gold imports in breaking the
stringency of the money market was
beyond question, although the criticism
measures for their gold supply.
The attemptt pit, to put up 2TI1fes o6 6r

suspicion that liquidation of long hold
ings was in progress.
Reading suffered from the uncer-
tainty over the anthracite coal labor
outlook and from reports of riotous out
breaks in the coal regions. Pennsyl-
vania on the contrary. was strong.
The course of speculative liquidation
in Amalgamated Copper was OF large
sentimental effect. Prices were at the

lar tone.
