REGARDING THE PORTLAND STRIKE

Developments this week disclose that the Portland story as published last
this paper were unduly magnifed. The News regrets this greatly as it has al
news of thu camp. But under thu circumstances The News has little to censme
itself for in this particular instance.
The News published the story that the Portland had encountered in its
lowest workings a SOfoot body of ore, averaging $50 to the ton. In its story,
however, The News plainly stated that TIT facts as published were pon the sole
authority OF J. T. Mitchell, mining engineer and one Of the managers Of the Port
land company. The report vas issued lateo O. Fdday-too late for any of or
reporters to visit the mine an verify the facts. Every possible efo was made
to confirm the story nj the paper was held back from the press four hours
Friday night with the hopes of getting furtherf facts. However, as Mr. Mitchell
had told thu SAM story as h reported 20 The New to severlr reputable mining
men in the camp W e felt warranted in giving his story publicity. Mr.. Mitchell
is a man If high standing IN the community, and his word has always been ac-
copied as the truth.
Since the story was published in The News it appears that the Portland has
10 such body of ore, and MI. Mitchell must have beenn mistaken in his samphng
of thu vdn. He however, still insists that the assay lie took an upon which he
based his assertion, AN $50 and over and that assays as high as $500 were OBJ
tanned. But he does not contend that the leverage of h whole thirty feet ran
$780, The fact is that several samplng of the vein the past wek taken on any
considerable amount of rock, gave $4,000 as the very highest, while other assays
AN s., $3.50 and S6.
made on the Portland, OF to place MI. Mitchell in an unenviable light, but more
to square" itself with the reading public which depends upon this paper for
reliable mining news. The fact still remains that the development on the Port
land, although not what was frstr reported, is o. much Importance and significance
The last assays taken, which were made on Thursday, gave $1,000 and $780,
and these assays were made from samples taken in two different places across
three feet of the VEIN This in itself. coupled with tn location of the Portland,
N the fact that the ore wa encountered over 400 feet below the surface shows
thu great possibilities of the mine and camp. Tt is altogether probable tina. the
Portland will discover a good shoot of ore in this vein, and that the producing
boundaries If the camp will be pushed just so much further south.

r. q. H, louisville, Ky.-The Truett
lease is one of the richest OF Mohawk
leases and the present rate of produc-
tion is truly phenomenal. The ore
bodies are like and the aver
age of values is well over 500 the ton.
Shipments are large and are constantly
increasing. The News has been in
formed that a dividend of 25 per cent
on the capital stock of the company
which is s250,000 will be paid on or
about the goth of September. This
would be the first dividend. AS $4,000
shares still remain in the treasury, the
dividend would b. upon 202, 900 shares.
or $50, $500. other dividends should fol-
low in rapid succession. Concerning the
brokers of Goldfeld The News can hard
ly be asked to discriminate. The stock
exchange here investigate all applica-
tions for membership and the members
are generally supposed to be fair and
reliable.
L. A. H, Ilwaco, Wash.-The Gold
field Hub Mining company is not, so far
as The News can learn, prosecuting any
work. The Bee Fraction, one of its
pieces of ground, is splendidly located

Standing Of the Clubs.

BY landing heavily on Mr.. Burch In
the opening inning of the keokuk-
Marshalltown games at Keokuk, Tues
day, the Brownies amassed such lead
that Keokuk could not overcome it,
and won easily by to 4. The errors.
which Keokuk mixed in in that open
ing round, helped to swell the total of
runs, started by four punched hits.
At no time did Keokuk have
chance to win, altho McAndrews' crew
hit Luke for three scores in the open
ing round. After that inning the
Hampton lad settled down and keokuk
was able to count only once more in
the seventh inning. In the sixth the
Brownies went after Bills, the net re-
suit. being three tallies. Both teams
played poor defensive games, and
many errors marked the misplay Of
both teams. After the opening, Burch
gave way 10 Bills, who twirled the rest
Of the game, and who was little more
effective than Burch, altho he could
not subdue the Brownies in the sixth
when they got started hitting. The
score in detail:

oskALoosA's BEATING.
Burlington Paper Says Brownies
Victories Were Surprise.

Burlington faper Gays oFoWhes
Victories Were Surprise.
The Burlington Hawkeye, reviewing
the Marshalltown- Oskaloosa games of
last week, looks upon the beating of
the Quakers as a surprise The Hawk
Eye says:
What was perhaps the biggest sur
prise of the last week was the unex-
pected slump of the Oskaloosa club
After losing three out of four games
with Burlington, the Quakers dropped
three straight to MarshalltoWn, all by
rather onesided scores. BY virtue of
this run of defeat, the Quakers have
steadily descended in the percentage
column until the distance between them
and Marshalltown is so small as to
keep the fans of Oskaloosa trembling
every moment lest their boasted Quak-
ers drop into the ranks of the has
beens,' as would almost necessarily
follow if they are again outstripped by
Marsllalltown. For several weeks, by
the brilliant form Oskaloosa was daily
putting on exhibition, the Quakers
were considered as even a faster team
than TT. Dodge, whom they came near
to outstripping several times. In their
games here, the Quakers put up an
excellent fight and showed fast, con-
sistent form, which seems to contra
dict their showing in the Marshall
town SERIES Whether the Quakers
will resume their winning form or not
is hard to tell. 1t may be, like doz-
ems Of teams before them, in different
leagues thruout the country, they are
capable of wonderful playing for
short period, and then lapse into rath-
err mediocre form. Or it may be that
this week has been merely reaction
from the strenuous days of the last
month. Whatever it may be, Oskaloo-
sa will be closely watched during the
next week, which may be counted up
on to determine to a great extent the
true status of the team"
