FROM MARSHALL LAKE
|pjch Showing Being Made By That
Mining District.

G. H. Nelson, w. H. Horan, G. 0.
K. Marshall and Mark Peterson re-
turned to Sylvan Beach last week
from ten days trip to the Mar
| shall Lake district, where they To-
Gated claims on Tiptop ridge, about
lane mile east of Mount Marshall.
|qhey bring back glowing accounts
|of that rich section and believe it
|s destined to become the richest
| gold producing region in Idaho.
They brought back several speci-
mems of quartz from different prop
critics there in which gold is plainly
visible to the naked eye. The
district is about so miles north of
Iardo and it's development will
mean much to this section.
Several of the properties there
we're looked over by Mr.. Nelson,
who has had considerable expert
ence in mining and is an expert
assayer. From him THE ADVOCATE
gathered the following information
concerning the district.
The Mount Marshall group of
claims, owned by Fox & Briggs,
shows a ledge of gold bearing quartz
3 to feet wide that has been open
ed up for 60 feet on the surface and
shafts sunk on it to depths of from
IL to 60 feet. The ledge lies be-
tween footwall of granite and
hanging wall of quartzite schist,
which is characteristic of all the
properties in the district. The
ledge cuts the formation at right
angles, and there is no intrusive
dykes to cut off values. The vein
on this property has been traced
lOr SOOO feet. The ore is taken on

pack horses to a little stamp mill
on Bear creek for treatment, said
mill doing all the stamping for the
district at present. The ore values
range from 500 to $1,000 per ton,
specimens showing visible gold.
The richest ore seen on the trip
was from the Kimberly, owned by
D. l.. Roy, and from the American
Cedar group, owned by J. G. Gala
han, and ranges in value from
$4,000 to $11 900 per ton.
The Jewell group, the property,
of D. L. Roy, has ledge II to a
feet wide, assays from which show
values of from $40 to $1,000.
The Fisherboy group, owned by
Chas. A. Clark of Grangeville, is
located on the west side of Carey
creek, 2 miles north of Marshall
lake. There is true fssure vein
from to feet wide that has been
traced for 1000 feet which shows
an average of $50 per ton. There
is fine site for mill nearby with
1000 inches of water.
The Brunton group of three
claims is owned by E. L. Kennedy,
of Resort, and situated between Cal
ifornia and Maxwell creeks. The
ledge averages p feet wide and has
been traced the full length of all
the claims. A mill run test of 1900
pounds of general average ore
gave returns of $47 per ton, and
the ore is improving with develop
ment, now going $50 per ton. There
is 300 horsepower water right To-
Gated. Mr.. Kennedy is also owner
of the extension of the Caldwell
mine, on War Eagle mountain.
The Buck group is owned by
Arthur Griswold of Resort and are
situated on the headwaters of the
east fork of Maxwell creek on Bear
Trap saddle. Two feet is the aver

REDUCE. GRAIN RATES.
Washington Railroad Commission to
Begin an Investigation.

Walla Walla, July 24.-The next
question that the state railroad COM
mission of Washington will take up is
the seeking of reduction in grain
rates between the wheat localities and
tidewater.
The reduction that will he asked is
from l9A cents to approximately
III. cents. Plans for making the de-
mand have not yet been fully matured
but the commission is deyOting much
time to the question.
The commission claims that the
maximum rate can be shown to be ex-
cessive without much trouble. After
the order of the commission resulting
from the Colfax and Walla Walla
hearing is promulgated, the commits
sion believes that 1t can force a re-
duction.
The commission contends that about
80 per cent OF the grain moved in
Washington is moved under the maxi
mum rate. From Walla Walla to Sc
attic the rate Is Is "a cents. Rates ia
Bellingham and Gray's Harbor coun-
try is 21s cents higher than the rate

louise and vicinity and from the Spo-
kane belt below the maximum rate.
Although the commission considers
this favorable time to make its de.
mand, It does not overlook the politi.
cal effect of saving the reduction as q
campaign issue for the next campaign
1t would be valueless, as the east side
has never taken the railroad commits.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
bid on the government dam and reser-
voir of the Cold Springs irrigation
project was rejected the work of con-
structing the canals and other features
of the project will proceed. it is
thought, at once.
The Puget Sound Bridge & Dredging
company of Seattle, which secured
the contract for building 25 miles OF
main canals from the Umatilla river
TO the reservoir site, at bid of S4S.-
5s2. has already made partial arrange
ments for beginning work on their
contract. An agent of the company
has been in Echo and Hermiston this
week making purchases of hay, beef
vegetables and grain and will soon es-
tabiish headquarters preparatory to
beginning actual work on the canals
and bitches.
The work under this contract in.
cludes 700, 900 cubic yards of earth ex-
cavation. 5000 cubic yards of rock
excavation. $500 cubic yards of con.
crete and 5000 cubic yards of riprar

rious places.
The concrete will include the head
gate which will be massive structure
for the diversion of water from thc
Umatilla river into the main cana
leading to the reservoir.
The Newport Land & Construction
company, of Echo, was the second
lowest bidder on this part of the gov.

fails to build the canal the work viii

bid was next lowest.

he continued to devote his en-
tire attention to business, with neither
family nor children. Eventually he
married Miss Marguerite Olivia Slo-
cum, who survives him.
During the last decade of his career
Mr.. Sage's dealings in puts and calls
were comparatively small, though
there was a time when his transac-
tons in these privileges amounted to
millions of dollars annually. 1t was
said that he always had more ready
money than any other man in Wall
street, and that he could meet a de-
mand at any time for from $1,000, 900
to $10,000,000. His wealth has been
variously estimated from $25, 1000, 900
to 100000, 900. 1t is certain that he
has long been entitled to a place
among Americas richest men.

Portland, July 24.-E. P. McCros-
key, manager of the Canadian EN-
ployment bureau of Portland, went
east to secure 5000 men to work on
Oregon railroad construction, in log
ging camps and reclamation projects
After spending weeks in close touch
with the labor markets of Chicago,
Kansas City, Omaha, Milwaukee, De-
troit and other middle west cities, he
returned TO Portland with but 20 men,
He says the reason for his failure was
the refusal of railroads to grant a
fare less than $10.25 from Chicago to
Portland.
Mr.. McCroskey says he found there
were thousands of men in the cities of
the middle west who want work and
who would come to the Pacific coast
if they could get here.

PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS.
Is Still I'm Its Third Session at Rio
Janeiro, Brazil.

Rio de Janeiro, July 24.-The third
Pan-American congress which was
formally opened here last week, met
again today to conclude the prelimi-
naries, before the actual work OF the
congress is taken up. Some OF the
most important preliminaries have al
ready been settled by the congress
and the rest will undoubtedly be ar
ranged this week. The proposition
has been definitely adopted that the
congress will close on September 1,
regardless of unfinished business
which may be on hand at that time.
It is expected that a five-minute
rule will be adopted for the delibera-
tions Of the congress, thus making II
possible to prevent interminable de-
bate on the many questions to be
considered, which will doubtless pro-
woke a great variety of opinions. Del
egates who have propositions to lay
before the congress will be granted
80 minutes for an opening address,
hut after the subject has been form
ally presented to the congress, the
addresses are to be limited 20 five
minutes.
In a number of important details
the rules of the congress will mater
tally differ from those of the first two
congresses. The purpose of the change
is merely to prevent entanglements
which might result from prolonged
discussion of subjects on which there
is great division of sentiment.
The United States cruiser Charles
ton is expected here tomorrow and
everything is in readiness for the re-
ception of Secretary Root and his wife
and daughter, who will remain here
IL days and will be Hospitality enter
tanned. Many social and state func-
tions have been arranged in honor of
Mr. Roots visit.
