OREGON COWS TO CHINA.
Fifteen Jerseys and IIolsteins From
Mount Tabor TO Hongkong.

Fifteen milch cows will be shipped
to Hongkong on the steamer Nicode-
mia when she sails for the orient next
Sunday says the Oregon Daily Jour
nal. The cows will be placed in stalls
between decks and a man sent along
TO take care of them on the voyage.
This will be the largest shipment of
cattle ever made from this port 10
China, where dairy products are little
used excepting by the white popula-
tion. AS yet the Chinese have not
cultivated a taste for butter, cream or
milk, principally because Of the ex-
pense.
The cows were bought by the Hong
kong Dairy Farm company from G. L.
Lindsey, who lives near Mount Ia
Dor. Mr., Lindsey shipped several
head of cattle to the same company
last year, but they went in small lots
on the various liners. The cows are
of the Jersey and Holstein breeds and
valued at about 500 head.
The Nicodemia shifted to the o. r.
& n. Albina dock yesterday afternoon
and Is receiving cargo there at live
ly rate so as to get away early Sunday
morning. The nature of the cargo
this time will be more mixed than or
dinarily and the flour shipments will
not aggregate over 10000 barrels,
whereas often as much as $4,000 bar
rels are shipped by one steamer. one
of the features of the cargo will be
an lS-ton piece of electrical machin-
cry for Moi, Japan.

\ Hammer and Tongs Scrap.

At the Sloan blacksmith shop a
fight occurred yesterday which was a
battle royal and might have ended
very seriously had 1t not been stopped
when it was. During the forenoon
two of the horseshoers became involv-
ed in n quarrel over their work, and
1t ended in fight. Both are big men
and with one armed with hammer
and the other with pair of tongs,
they commenced. Each landed on the
other, and 1t was getting to be a
bloody affair when 1t was stopped by
Mr.. Sloan and some of the other
workmen. As it was neither was SER
iously hurt, though the man with the
hammer was badly cut on the head
by the man who welded the tongs.

Chinese lettuce in the summer fallow
fields, says a report. The loss has
been very severe, coming at this time
when the farmers need all of their
horses for work in the harvest fields.
When the animals get warm in the
field after eating of the lettuce they
swell up and die in the harness in
great agony. One of the signs of this
disease is that the bodies of the ami
mails are covered with large boluses.
Among the losers is John Weity

ooLDxxE Is SCENE OF
MANY NEW STRIKES

A correspondent from Goldyke writes
the following letter from that growing
and thriving camp:
Il wish to inform you of the new
strike made near the town of Goldyke
and others in different parts of the
Fairview district.
IAN important strike was made in
the new shaft of the Goldyke mine.
which is the extension of the famous
Goldyke Reef mine. The shaft on the
extension is now down eighteen feet
and is in ore the entire distance. Sam
pies taken across the vein assay 1865
and a two-foot streak on the footwall
goes $685. to the ton.
Another find of considerable import
ance was made a few days ago on the
Washington property located close to
the town of Goldyke. High values are
reported to have been obtained here n
the strike (Which was made by Henry
Jackman of Tonopah) is causing much
excitement in the district. Many min
ing men are trying to find the continual
ton of the Washington ledge. Paintings
from the Washington vein are most sat
~isfactory and values extend for ~ feet
across the vein and for 100 feet where
work has been done.
"The shaft on the Goldyke Reef Is
now down 200 feet and ore taken from
the bottom of the shaft shows good de-
posits of free gold. The general opin-
ion expressed by the many mining men
who have recently arrived here is that
the Goldyke Reef mine has every evil
dence of becoming one of the richest
mines in the state.
THE ST. Mary's group, owned by
Thomas Burns, has a tunnel of 100 feet
and the ledge at the face of the tunnel
averages $40 in free milling gold. About
900 feet east of the tunnel the ledge
crops out for 100 feet in width and
shows much free gold, several streaks
assaying as high as 81 ounces in gold.
A recent offer of $500 0 is reported to
nave been made and turned down for
the property.
1.-THE Lone Star mine, owned by
Everett and Dugan is having a shaft
sunk of 100 feet depth. The crosscut in
the bottom of the shaft shows a ledge
of seven feet from which assays aver
age $55. The Gold Crown owned by
the same persons, is also disclosing
good ore. A ledge in the bottom of the
shaft averages $155 in gold and silver.
The owners are now sacking for ship
ment to Nina.
"The Silver Bell mine is working I'M
der a bond. A shaft is being sunk and
Is down now 25 feet. 1t shows up good
values clear across the vein. This claim
was located by George Wolf. the district
raoordar ond iS Situated ona-ha1f mile
west of the town of Goldyke."

RICH ORE NEAR ELKO

For the past few days Elko has ex-
perienced one of the biggest mining ex-
ictements in many years. Last week
the Free Press made mention of a re-
ported strike in the foot hills Just
south of Elko, stating tina reliable in
formation regarding the find could not
be obtained. 1t has since developed
that the ore found was float, but 1t is in
large quantities n very rich. A guam
uty panned yesterday shows that 1t is
very rich in free gold.
Yesterday and today a large number
Of prospectors focked to the vicinity
and we are informed III a large area
has been located. Judging from the
notices sold from this office to-
day the whole vicinity will be located
before nightfall.
The ore is a c~onglomerate formation
and Is found in the long draw just over
the hill from the Hot Springs. The
place Is within easy sight of town.
Large boulders have been found from
near the top of the hill well down to
the base.
A sample of the ore in the drug store
window today attracted considerable at
tention and various expressions of opin-
ions are being made by local experts re-
garding the probability of it's having
come from a big ledge. A former Grip
pie Creek miner who saw the sample
stated that 1t closely resembled ore
from One of Cripple Creeks big mines

tions.-Elko Free Press.

of claims Mr.. Anderson reports that
affairs in Buckskin are looking very
good. The veins are strong and well
defined, carrying fair values and 1t is
this gentleman's opinion that further
development will open up large bodies
of ore which will probably run from
$40 to $40 in gold. Mr.. Anderson re-
ports that a stage line is now running

TALK NEVADA MINING
TO VAUDEVILLE ARTISTS

New York, May 15.-A mining camp
attired in the clothes of conventional
civilization had a session last night in
the East Myrtle room of the Waldorf
Astoria, and in eloquence and vaude-
vile rang the praises of Nevada.
Nearly every man present was a ma
tive of the state beyond the Rockies.
Malcolm l.. Macdonald, who was born
eleven miles from Comstock, said he
was glad of it, and that the world had
but a feeble conception of the POSSIBLE
tiles of Southern Nevada.
He said he would not hesitate to de-
clare that within the next ten years
Nevada would produce at least 25 per
cent of the metal values of the coun-
try. San Francisco would be rebuilt in
greater glory than m other western
city within the next ten years and in
that period Nevada would have pro-
duced enough mineral to pay for it.
C. d. Wrenn. secretary to c. M
Schwab, who owns much Nevada min
ing property, said that Schwab on his
last visit to Nevada had been skeptical
as to her development when he entered
the state. He went away an enthusi-
astic boomer. Wrenn declared that
more money would be taken out of Ne
vada in the mex few years h from
any state in the Union. Her soil had
merely been scratched.
Mr.. Pittman said hat the object Of
the gathering was to persuade new
York to act as an "office" for Nevada
without the interference of middlemen,
particularly San Francisco brokers.
Then the red curtains of the vaude-
vile hall adjoining h dining room
parted, and the prospectors, mining ex-
merits and their friends thronged in.

press northern sentiments at that time and is so completely sectional in it's inspiration. if not in it's language. that it is utterly unsuitable for a national song.
 Recently one of the leading music publishers of the country issued an edi- tion of "The Star Spangled Banner g in which the authors original third stanza has been radically and consider ably amended" by some unknown bard. The amendment, though plainly anachronistic will probably be accept ed by the public and in the course of time supersede the correct version. If this sort of thing keeps on there will soon be nothing left of the original poem.
 There is no law to prevent any one who pleases from rewriting the words of The Star Spangled Banner" to suit himself. but no one has the right to present his own alterations as if they were the original words written by Francis Scott Key and first published in the Baltimore American in Septem- Der, 1874. Laws to protect the national flag have been found necessary. There seems to be need, too. of a law to pro- tect the national hymn.
