twice. and the British army once. was
taken TO the guardhouse, placed in
double irons and locked in a cell.
At the navy yard today il was stated
that no one knew when the prisoner
would be court-rna rtialed. This rests
with Gen. Georgs Elliott. commandant
of the yard. who viii set the dag Of the

The "just as-good" rivalry of apple

tain wholly within the Beaver state.
The ctate Of Washington has several

Yakams belong to the "just as good

and Rogue River. Their flavor, beau.

Oregon and Warrington, and also Ida

Gently purchased scow In Portland
for use out on the bar and an effort
was made to have 1t brought to Hood
River. The tug which was towing
the soow was not powerful enough to
take IL through the rapids below Cas-
cade Locks with the result that il
went on shore. An effort to get the
scow here having failed, so far, has
delayed the operations of the compa.
ny, but 1t Is expected to get suita-
BILE boat for the work up the river.
The sand is said to contain both
iron and gold in quantities Sufficient
to pay for working 1t. Some time
ago a government analysis was made
of it which showed that it contained
pei centage that men who are famiI-
lar with mining say can be made to
yield profit ii properly worked. In
order to obtain .he metals process
will be employed that will separate
the sand from them, for this purpose
electricity will be employed. What is
known as a magnetic separator will
perform this part of the work.
The sand Is made to pass in front
OF a magnet which defects the metal
as 1t passes, causing it to drop into a
receptacle Placed to receive it while
the sand passes on. The process is not
a new one, having been first put in
use by Thos. A. Edison near his
home, Menlo Park, New Jersey,
where he discovered large quantity
of iron bearing rock which ordinarily
1t would not have paid to work. His
wonderful ingenuity however was
brought In to play, and after invent
ing two crushers that some of the
greatest machine works in the coun.
try said could not be made and which
reduced the rock to powder, he set
up his magnets and started operations
that were not only successful but the
marvel of all who beheld them.
This 10 the system that will be en-
ployed by the promoters of the at
tempt to wrest riches from the sands
OF the Columbia except that the ex-
penisve process of crushing will not
be necessary.
In the working of the machinery,
should the experiment prove success.
full, much electric power will be nec-
essary which will be provided by the
local electric light company. Should
the Project turn out successfully 1t
will mean the employment of large
number Of men eventually at Hood
