Two New Bedford Centennials.

TWO view 6S0IOTO
The good old city of New Bedford is
having a double celebration--the GEN.
tennial of the whaling industry. which
was once its chief business and in
which it led the world, and the centen-
NAL of the New Bedford Mercury, an
|enterprising newspaper which is a credit
to the city The Mercury has issued
large and deliberately illustrated
supplement which is a most interesting
and attractive piece of work. When
the whaling business declined New
Bedford did not proceed to decline with
it, but has taken up the textile indus
try and is one of New Englands
most prosperous and progressive cities.
There are plenty of men living who
remember when the whaling industry
was one of the most important in our
shipping The Mercury gives {, resume
was a dangerous calling and to a de-
gree speculative. Many of the vessels
were four years from port, during
which they visited the seven seas in
search of the leviathans yelling oil
and bore. The sailors all received a
proportion of the proceeds of The Voy-
age in lieu of wages and these varied
according to the Importance of the task
assigned. Sometimes vessels (Which
were all small compared even with our
modern schooners) made quick and
profitable voyages. Sometimes in four
years hardly whale would be caught
and hundreds of the ships We're
wrecked
The old-time captain of whaler |
must needs be a man of valor, an eX- |
pert seaman and man of Judgment. |
He had rowing commission. could
draw on his owners for any amount in
any part of the world and his course
was dictated solely by his own discre-
ton. Sailing from New Bedford, he |
might make for the Antartic ocean ana |
thence straight for the Arcric. He |
might so to Hudson's Bay and the |
waters off Kamtschatka. New Bed |
ford long held the primacy of all whal- |
ing ports and at its prime owned more |
than half of the 500 odd whalers sailing |
from this country. For nearly forty |
caught was about 1900 and over 300. |
900 were taken in that period and it is
believed that considerably more than |
half million have been killed by |
in the last century.
The whales are now comparatively |
scarce, though the unsought varieties |
are thought to be increasing. The
species bearing bone is the most valu-
able and at S. a pound many a cetacian
nets $4,000, including Oil In olden
times single voyages netted as much |
as siO0, 900, but the average was much
smaller and many We're conducted at
loss. Great fortunes We're made in this
industry, but in these days the few |
whalers afioat are steam vessels and |
the whales are killed with cannon. 1t |
is no longer exciting nor romantic and |
is Increasingly profitable.
The whale served his purpose in light
ing the world for time. Now his chief |
utility is in providing women with cor
set bones. Whether this is an ethical
and social advance will not be dis
cussed here. The whale for the most |
part, roves the seas unharmed, and |
as he is reported to live thousand |
years, our descendants may be much |
more familiar with him than we are
in this generation.

A Wooden Mill

La Grande has plans underway to
secure woolen mill. J.. F. Wilbur
formerly in control of the Union mills
has been looking the country over for a
desirable site. Enterprise should get in
on this proposition and make Mr..
Wilbur good offer to establish it at
Enterprise. The proposed factory is
to have four sets of machinery. and
employ from 100 to $50 operators. 1t
will consume from 100000 to 1000, 900
pounds of wool year; consume 1000
cords of wood per year or the equivalent
in some kind OF fuel; and the manufac-
tured output per aDunm would be about
100000, the wage disbursement will
average from $4,000 to $540O per month.
The raw material is raised right here in
Wallowa county. The profits from
such a concern are sure and the payroll
helps to build up the town.
This plant will require capital Of
$150,000 dollars. One-third of this
amount will be supplied by Mr.. Wilbur
and the remainder OF the stock will be
raised by local stock subscriptions.

Mining Prospects

Arthur IL. Rudd has just returned
from the Imnaha where he surveyed a
ditch for WurzweiIer & Atkins for their
placer mine. He reports that the
placer looks very promising. The
amount of gold that shows in the placer
indicates rich veins which will some
day be discovered.
Another very promising group OF
mines is that of the Tuna Group, which
was recently leased to Baker city
people by the owners, Messrs. Blow
& Vance, for period of six months,
and if at the end OF that time the Baker
City people choose, they have an option
for the purchase of this property for $32,
900. The work done by this firm will
give the Eureka section an opportunity
to know whether these mines are pay-
ing investment. If it is found so it
will open up the way to other and
greater mining deals in that section.
The Elgin Recorder says ]. L. Harvey
of that city received some sample ore
from his mining claims south of Joseph
this week that contains high per cent
of copper and looks good to those
interested in mining and minerals. Mr..
Harvey has several claims in that section
and has been devoting considerable
time to them of late. The samples he
has exhibited from time to time have
been exceptionally good and in the near
future the claims will doubtless prove
valuable.
