Lumber Will Not Advance Much

An Estimate Shows That There is al
Present Seventy Million Feet of
Lumber For Use in
San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO, May ll.-Leading
lumber men say that there will be no
considerable increase in the price of
lumber needed in the reconstruction of
San Francisco. According to an esti-
mate made by R. Kendrick OF the Wash
ington Mill Company there are 10000
600 feet of lumber in San Francisco.
Steam and sail vessels are bringing
many millions OF feet from Puget
Sound, Columbia River. Willapa. and
other points, which will arrive mere in
few days. The cargoes on the way
are principally pine lumber. The San
Francisco fire, while it destroyed a
large amount OF lumber, nevertheless
left great stores of building material

Demands For Lumber in California

the Lumber Output.
MILLS ARE HANDICAPPED

PORTLAND, May ll,-Taking ad.
vantage OF the enormous demand for
lumber in California and in foreign
countries, some OF the leading logging
firms ON the Columbia River have rails.
ed the price of logs from ~ TO $40 a
thousand feet, The effect may be that
local millmen will operate their plants
at only about half their capacity. Such
a course would probably cut out a big
part of the lumber which had been con.
tracted for to send foreign, and also
seriously affect building operations in
San Francisco.
One OF the firms known to have ad.
vanced the price OF its product is the
Benson Logging Company, by far the
largest concern OF the kind in this Sec
tion. The Portland Lumber Company
depends almost wholly on that firm for
logs Reports We're freely circulated to-
day that until some other arrange
ments have been made whereby the
mill people can get logs from some other
source the mill would run but Il hours
out of the "a hereafter. General Mana
ger Wentworth could not be found this
morning to verify these rumors,
The explanation is given by men in a
position to know that all of the mill
companies have sold cagoes to foreign
firms at price which was based on
logs valued at 81 a thousand feet. If
they are now obliged to pay $40 for
them it is said the millmen will be
heavy losers. Cargoes for shipment
down the coast have also been sold in
advance in the same way, and conse-
quently it is feared that the milmen
will experience serious difficulty in fill
ing orders.
There are n number OF independent
logging concerns on the Lower Columbia
from whom it is believed that the mill
men will be able to secure a sufficient
quantity OF logs 50 that they can fill
orders for which they have contracted.
While the independent loggers have
rather small plants, it is thought that
they can provide enough raw material
to keep the mills going for at least half
the time. After the situation has been
fully explained to the larger companies
the opinion prevails that they will de.
eide to let the millmen have logs at
former prices.
In behalf of the loggcis, It is asserted
that they have gone to an unusually
heavy expenses this year in making ex-
tensions to the roads built from the
river back to the timber belts. Hoping
to get back a part of this heavy outlay,
they figured that this would be a most
opportune time to advance the price Of
their product On account of the heavy
demand for lumber, they were of the
opinion, so it is stated, that the millmen
would make no particular complaint,
but would raise the price Of the finished
product.

Looking Backward.

Only a few years ago the inn mense basin of the Congo was an untamed wilderness, "a slave park" as Stanley called it; bare to raids of murderous marauders. Bands of predatory Arabs swoop- ing down upon the defenseless natives decimated whole tribes, and carried away men, women and children by the thousand. The slave trader stalked like a pestilence. through tbe land, leaving in his wake the smoking ruins of a hundred villages and the charred skeletons of his black victims. It was not only the natives who suffered from the raids of mercileSS ravagers; but the Europeans, explorer, merchant and missionary, were also subject to their tyrannical impositions-And when, as in the case of IEmin Pasha, they opposed the designs of these de- spoilers, they were ruthlessly murdered. Flame and sword, robbery and massacre-such un- til ten years ago were the chief episodes in the epic of the Congo.
 Today this vast region is not only geographically determined, occupied and effectually protect ed, but the power of the Arab raider has been forever annihi. lated. Regions which for ages were the scene of carnage and holocaust have now been paci, ned. Where all was disturbance and turbulence a reign of law and order has been substituted - '"The Story of the Congo Free State," by Henry Wellington Wack.

Deepest Gold in the World.

An important report was made by the manager of the New Cbum Railway mine, Ben digo, recently, that good gold was showing in the stone in the crosscut east from the cen ! ter country winze at 4224 feet, says the Australian. The stone is four feet thick, and when bro ken disclosed splendid gold. The quartz is richly mineralized and we'll laminated, and fine gold is associated with the seams of slate and minerals. There are also few large specks of gold in the quartz. In the top of the formation is 4 feet wide and in the bottom it has a width of ? feet 6 inches. It is the east leg of the formation, re. vealed in sinking the winze at depth of 4165 feet. The bottom plat is at 3756 feet, but the shaft has depth of 3896 feet. In or der to work the reef to advant- age, the company will have to sink 400 feet, and then crosscut at 4265 feet. The discovery is of considerable importance, as further evidencing the existence of gold at a great depth. In opening up the formation at a higher gold was seen, but this development is the most import ant which has yet attended oper- ations in the mine at over 4,OOO feet. The fact that this is the greatest depth at which gold has been obtained in the world lends to the development more than local interest.

The bullion was exhausted in May, 1861, when the coinage ceased and the United States dies were destroyed. A Confederate States die was then made, to be used for silver half dollars, but it was not fit for use in coining press, the relief being too high. Four half dollars Were struck with it on a screw press, and these con- prise the entire coinage of the Confederate States.
