ACTIVITY IN
SEVEN DEVILS
Railroad Building Has Made
Renewal of Mining
Interest

BAKER CITY, July 27.-The we'll
known mining engineer, George w
Briggs, returned to Baker CITY yester-
day morning from Helena, Mont. SAYS
! the Baker City Democrat, where he
spent about one week and ACCOMPLISH
! ed one of the most important mining
/ deals that has taken place in the
Northwest in many years.
After long effort and in the face of
the fact that scores of others had tried
and failed, Mr. Boggs secured a ten
years lease of the celebrated Peacock
copper mine in Seven Devil district.
Idaho, from the American Mining com
pany, limited, and S. F. Hauser and A.
NJ. Hotter.
The Peacock is the original discov-
cry Of the Seven Devils district and
has for many years been under the
control of Ex-Governor Hauser, of
Montana, and his associates and Is
| considered to be one of the richest
copper mines in the world. 1t Is a
mountain of ore and it is estimated by
different engineers that there is in
sight on the property from 100000 to
100000 tons of copper ore averaging
from 51a to 10 per cent copper. The
lack of railroad transportation has
been the only reason why the property
has not been operated for years on an
extensive scale.
1t is the purpose of Mr.. Boggs and
his associates as soon as the railroad
now building down the Snake river Is
completed to a point opposite the dis
lance of three and a half miles. The
tram is built from the mine to the rail-
road, distance of three and a half
miles. The tramway will have a ca
pacity of from 200 to ESQ tons of ore
per day.
In securing long lease Of the Pea
cock mine, Mr.. Boggs has made a ten
strike and it is greatly to his credit
that he succeeded where so many have
failed in the attempt. 1t is an example
of what brain, energy and perserver-
ance can accomplish and his success
will be the means of bringing the Sew
en- Devils district before the world
more prominently than any thing that
could have happened.
The mining world will now watch
with interest the result of taking a rich
copper property from under the con-
troll of a lot of charlatans and placing
it in the hands of those that will give
1t chance TO show its merit

on the Owl train after a two weeks
vacation.
Conductor Roberts is a brother of
Miss Sarah A. Roberts, teacher of the
Spokane schools, who is a survivor of
the Columbia disaster, and reached
Spokane but a few days ago.
"The few days between the report of
the wreck of the steamer and the an
nouncement of my sisters arrival in
Astoria, were very trying Ones" said
Mr.. Roberts this morning. We had
used the wire to every point on the
coast where information might be
available and through the courtesies Of
the Spokane newspapers the resources
of the Associated Press were used in
an effort to ascertain whether she was
among the rescued.
my sister has only words of highest
praise for the officers and crew Of the
steamer san Pedro" said Mr.. Roberts,
when asked relative to the treatment
the Columbia's passengers received at
the hands OF the San Pedro's crew.
"She says they were all heroes and
that nothing more could have been
done for the wreck victims, under the
conditions existing on the San Pedro,
than was done by her brave officers and
crew.

She Came to Humboldt
County in the Year 1863

In our news of the death and fun
eral Of Mrs. Sarah Shelton of Para
disc Valley, there is one fact which
stands out most prominently, and that
is the record of her arrival in Hum
boldt county. She came to Humboldt
county in 1868. To the younger gen

the above item may not seem of par

for thought and reflection.
A woman who first settled in this
county when it was but a desert wild
erness has passed to her final reward.
When Mrs. Sarah Shelton came to
Humboldt county the civil wal was
just getting under good Roadway.
The deadly bullet from the hand of
the assassin had not then cut short
the high career of Abraham Lincoln.
Gettysburg and Cold Harbor had not
yet been the scenes of death and

It was long before bands of steel

San Francisco was only a coaling

WHERE GOLD is FOUND

Gold, the most elusive of all the
metals, presents the greatest problem
to the geologist and metalurgist, both
as to it's origin and the conditions and
character of the formation in which
it may be found. We know no more
about where gold comes from than
we know of the origin of the stars.
We know that it is sometimes found
In certain kinds of rock known to
science as igneous and metamorphic;
but we do not know in just how many
other kinds of rock it might be found
to exist; nor can we say with any
degree of certainty that certain con
ditions and formations will produce
1T. Hence the time-worn phrase of
the old ~prospector that gold is where
you find it. These facts have perhaps
never before been more forcibly
demonstrated that IN the discoveries
made in Nevada during the past W
or three years where fabulously rich
gold strikes have been made almost
within the very shadows of the shaft
houses of famous old silver mines.
Many cases of this kind might pe
mentioned, among which is the Round
Mountain district, which lies within
five miles of the old Jefferson mine,
a silver poducer of unusual richness
in the early seventies, having a record
of producing several million dollars.
The most striking example of all,
The silver state news. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1907-1909, 1907-09-30

however, is found in the territory con
tiguous to Battle Mountain. The only
difference is that this district has for
a number of years been known to be
rich in copper as well as silver. Its
gold deposits were not known, now
ever, until recently. So while it is in
a sense an old district, it is also new.
The rich discoveries that are being
made almost daily have already
placed it in the foremost ranks of the
new caUips that are attracting the
greatest attention and from which
the~ greatest disclosures are expected.
Indeed Battle Mountain seems the
most favored of all the districts in
the state, since it has a greater
abundance of all the minerals more
generously distributed. 1t is also
without doubt that most extensive,
the mineralized are proven by devel-
opment aRd surface enrichment now
embracing about 20 square miles.
All that is needed is capital, and
that is coming. Investors are attract
ed by the favorable reports that are
going out and the favorable terms on
which properties at present can be
secured, as nearly everyone who has

ANOTHER NEWSPAPER VICTORY

That the press of the country is
one of the country's greatest bull
warks of safety, and that without the
fear of the press many abuses might
continue forever unreformed and un-
punished, is again demonstrated by
the exposures that have been made of
shocking conditions in the ASYLUM for
the insane at Highlands, Cal, which
were exposed by an enterprising news
paper and a fearless correspondent.
Rumors of an awful condition of
affairs reached the newspaper, and a
trained newspaper man was delegat.
&c to make an investigation. After
considerable difficulty this man was
enabled to secure a position in the
hospital as attendant. For weeks he
worked with fidelity, making careful
note of all he saw and heard. With
painstaking care he recorded infinitely
the terrible abuses that were practiced
under his eyes. All of his work was
carried on with the greatest secrecy,
as he fully realized that if he were
discovered in his true role, he might
pay for his temerity with his lie.
The newspaper man was A w. L.
Dunn, and the paper he represented
was the Los Angeles Record when
Dunn had seen enough to sicken with
horror the average man, he left his
position and his paper began the pub
LEGATION of as shocking a seres of artl-
cles as has ever appeared in the west
ern press.
Dunn told of the manner in which
patients were abused. He told of see
ing attendants beat the feeble minded
with their fists. He told of attend
ants jumping on the insane; he told
of an incident where a young man, in
sane, asked for relief from tooth
ache, and how the attendant struck
him full in the face with his fist, cut
ting his lips and knocking his teeth
out. Dunn told of one patiene VINO
asked for tobacco and was kickeo IN
the small of the back. He told OF a
youth who hadd fallen and cut a cash
several inches long on the back of
his head. When the youth ran to an
attendant to have the wound dressed
the fiend struck the youth with his
hand, the boy running away
shrieking with agony. Another Incl
dent was the punishment of a patient
who had been said to "talk too
much. This man, Dunn said, was
put to bed and the attendants jumped
on him with their heavy boots and
kicked him in the abdomen.
The result of this newspaper man s
lntrepidity is that the governor of
has ordered an investiga
ton. If what Dunn has said is true.
and the criminals who perpertated
these u~nspeakable crimes against their
unfortunate fellow men are ade-
quately punished, the public may
thank the newspaper and its men for
the reform.-White Pine News.
