CONDITIONS IN GOLDFIELD.
Boise Man Returns With Fabulous
Stories Of Nevada.


United States Surveyor General
Ern G. Engleson returned yesterday
from a trip to Goldfield, New, where
he says he went to invest some of his
surplus capital and to see the cOun-
try, says the Boise Statesman. He
has returned a most enthusiastic be-
lever in the future of the great min
ing camp.
He says that everyone is getting
rich down there except those who play
the high card. Goldfield now has one
railroad and two more are being built
into it, one by Senator Clark and one
by "Borax" Smith.
The automobile has finally con-
quercd the great desert regions of
the wagon train and is today master
of the situation. And they have auto
mobiles down there that are monsters.
There is nothing thought of paying
$4,000 to $4,000 for an auto, and then
they are used for all there is in one
of them. When a man starts down
there to go some place he wants to
anu 81 pu'Shs 81 thcy iuii eiiSii
powerful machines to their top speed
for the nature Of the roads
Mr.. Engleson declares the Nevada
country to be the richest in gold mines
ever discovered. Nothing less than
s75 ore counts at all in the Goldfield
country and there has never been a
blank hole dug. 1t costs s65 a ton
to get the stuff out of there and the
banks are literally filled with gold
ore sacked for shipment until you
can hardly get around through them.
One mine is now taking out 800, 900
per day. AS much as $S5 has been
taken from e. single bucketful of dirt
taken from a mine.
Nevada will produce more gold
than Alaska during the coming year."
saws Mr.. Engleson. ely and Green
water will be greater copper camps
than Butte has ever been. Wages are
from IS a day UP and out of sight.
The regulation wage for a miner is
81 per hour. Leaseholders are getting
immensely rich and everyone there
says that the real development of the
field has hardly begun yet.
ut is reported that a side lead has
been opened in the old Comstock
mine which bids fair to be richer than
anything ever yet taken from that
famous property"

With Christmas but IS days dis
tant the holiday business is now get
ting fairly under way in Pendleton
and from this time On until the even
ing of the cath there will be few mo-
ments of leisure for the merchants
and their clerks.
Thus far most of the Christmas
shopping has consisted of expensive
purchases in which 1t was necessary
for the buyers to place their orders
in advance. Naturally much of this
has been with the jewelers., and the
men in that business report some very
handsome diamond sales of late. AL
so the furniture dealers have been
sharing we'll in the business thus far,
orders of furniture gifts being placed
in time to allow of shipments being
secured before Christmas. Also those
who have presents to send to parties
abroad or to distant points in the
United States are early buyers.
At the postoffice the first stage of
the holiday rush is now on and 1t is
due to the gifts that are being sent
away by foreigners who live here and
in the vicinity. From the Pendleton
office Christmas presents are sent to
every country Of Europe and most
other portions of the globe.

Assistant Chief Engineer C. Strad-
ley, of the Oregon Short Line, accom-
panied by Mrs. Stradley, arrived in
the city last evening from Hunting
ton and will leave this morning up
Snake river to inspect the surveys and
join the surveying crew now working
between Pittsburg Landing and Eure-
ka, opposite the mouth Of the I'm
naha river. Engineer Stradley has
charge Of the work on this division,
says the Lewiston Tribune.
When seen at the Bollinger last
night Engineer Stradley said: There
is no especial significance in my visit
at this time. 1 am merely going
over the work already done and
have chosen this route of getting to
the surveyors because 1t is shorter
and less hazardous than from the
huntington end. There are no contrac-
tors with me and l have not been in
formed that any of the contracts on
the line have yet been awarded.
"All of the surveying work has
been closed down with the exception
of about Is miles between Pittsburg
Landing and a point seven or eight
miles above the mouth of the Imnaha
in the vicinity of the old Eureka
mines. A crew of 20 men is engaged
in running a location in this direction
and 1 think they will make a connec-
ton with the line run from Charleston
about Christmas. During the time
tho suryeyinp has been in progress
about rs surveyors have been en-
ployed and they are JUST now closing
their work.

is confined more especially to the last
few days before Christmas.
Judging from the manner in which
the holiday trade is starting off, it
will be good in Pendleton this year.

THE TRUTH ALWAYS,

When you are in doubt tell
the truth" It was an expert
eneed old diplomat who said this
TO a beginner n the work. 1t
may pass in some things, but
not in business. Fraud and de-
ception are often profitable so
long as concealed; yet detection
is certain sooner or later; then
comes the smash-up and the
punishment. The best and safest
way is to tell the truth all the
time. Thus you make friends
that stick by you, and a reputa-
ton that is always worth TWEEN
ty shillings to the pound every
where your goods are offered for
sale. We are able modestly to
affirm, that it is on this basis
that the worldwide popularity of
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
rests. The people have diseov-
cred that this medicine is exact
" what it is said to be, and
that it does what we have al
ways declared it will do. It's ma
ture also has been frankly made
known. It is palatable as honey
and contains all the nutritive and
curative properties of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, extracted by US from
fresh cod livers, combined with
the Compound Syrup of Hypo-
phosphites and the Extracts of
Malt and Wild Cherry. A COM
bination of supreme excellence
and medicinal merit. Nothing
has been so successful in Ane-
mia, Scrofula, Bronchitis, Tnfu-
enza, Loss of Flesh and VAST
ing Diseases, Weakness and Low
Nervous Tone, and all COM
plants caused by Impure Blood.
DIR. Austin D. Irvine, of Canada,
says: 81 have used it in cases
where cod liver oil was indica-
ted but could not be taken by
the patient, and the results fol-
lowing were very gratifying" Tt
cannot deceive or disappoint you,
is effective from the first dose
and comes to the rescue of those
who have received no benefit
from any other treatment It
represents the dawn of progress.

SNAKES SELL BY FEET

Snakes" said a dealer in Wild an
imals and reptiles, increase In value
out of all proportion TO their size. So
while you could buy seyen-foot py-
thon for s12 you couldn't begin to
buy one of'twlce that length for twice
that price A fourteen-foot python
would be worth $3.50. and a python
TWENTY-FIVE feet in length would
cost $500.
Some sorts of smaller snakes aro
regularly sold by the pound aud we
sometimes buy big snafes ~ that
way OF sailors that brine tpoin 10 on
ships coming from snake countries.
We weigh the big snake In Il bag and
pay so much pound for Il.
But big snakes arc not sol1 IN
that way by dealers, nor are they sold
by the foot. though of course. me
length governs the snakes value. Of
two snakes OF the same length one
might be worth more money than
the other, for spstes vary ia their
physical characteristics just as hui
man beings do. and their prices vary
accordingly.
cor two big snakes OF the same
length and the same thickness one
might weigh fifty pounds moro than
! the other, and then of the two big
snakes OF the same length one might

other was thicker and bulkier. and
as between these two. other things
being equal. the bmNor snake would
be-worth the more. because it would
make the more striking ana impos-
ing show.
Thus, while The length does gov
crn. 1t is not the ONLY thing to be Ia
ken into account. and so big snakes
are sold neither By The pound nor by

The record of the present year is
filled with the deaths Of very many of
those who came to this place in the
very early days and struggled through
the hard time of the establishment of
the present city and among them must
be numbered two who departed from
the scenes of this life during the past
week, both dying on the same day,
Thursday and both having been among
the very first to come to this city.
1t is the severing of the link which
binds the past to the present and while
they have lived beyond the average
length of human life it is nevertheless
with much regret that the people of the
city look upon the passing away of
these good old people, whose lives are

Mrs. Anna Fischer, relict of Richard

ter, Mrs. L. G. Bell on Thursday after
noon at the age of seventy-six years,
having lived in this city since 1857.
She was buried in the city cemetery
Sunday under the auspices of the
Turner society. She was born in
Hessian, Germany and came to New
York City in 1850 and later Mr. Fischer
came to the same place where he met
her and they were married going from
there to Pennsylvania and later to
Wheeling, West Virginia from which
place they came to New Ulm in 1857.
where Mr.. Fischer died and where nine
children were born two of which have
died.
Mr.. Fischer while citizen of this
place was connected with the old Globe
Touring mill, was I'd lieutenant of the
First Minnesota battery under Col.
Pfaender and held county Offices and
the family was numbered among the
prominent people of the city, but one
member of which is lett in New Ulm,
Mrs. L. G. Bell, no wonder then that
often in the last days of her life, Mrs.
Fischer often felt the lonliness of her
lot, though she was surrounded with
all the comforts and attention that
loving care could bestow upon her.
