NO ARRESTS FOR A WEEK
Situation at GoIdfield Said to Be I'm
usually Quiet.

Goldfield, New, Dec. Tn view OF
the admission of the mine operators
that they applied to the president for
orders holding troops in readiness to
come to Goldfield there Is a wide
divergence of opinion. Few people
can be made to believe that such ac-
ton would be taken over the head of
the sheriff, who says he has not been
consulted.
He denies that he is not able to
control the situation and adds that he
has not been approached. Several
inquiries directed to the governor ask
ing on what grounds he asked for
troops remain unanswered. It is ac'

will, il Portland goes after it, With
twenty-fou millions invested in q
water level line from the inland emf
pire to the Pacific Ocean, il is not likely
that Mr. Hill Is going to still climb
the mountains he has circumyented at
such immense cost, and continue the
bulk ct grain shipments from the Sound
ports, Mr.. Wilcox knows this as no
one else knows it, for il is his business
to know it; but rather than aeknowl-
edge that his policy has been vain and
ruinoas, he still talks OF the output
going abroad from PUGET SOUND.
With his insalar bull,headedness he tries
to make is apparent that Hill, the man
who has solved portland's salvation in
this matter iii Portland knows how to
apply it,, has spent this vast sum and
achieved this great plan, simply to
ignore its advantage and still send his
trains over the grades he has sought to
avoid. 1t is either piece OF senseless
folly or bit Of -four flushing" on the
part Of this man Wilcox.
There is no reason why Portland
should not regain supreme control Of the
grain trade by simply making Astoria
her right bower, her depot, her port OF
departure, with a Hat seabeard rate at
taching; and this she will do in time,
however ungraeious she may be about it
just now; it is the line OF safety for
her and her merchants know il. and we
know it. The question OF ships is simply
the question Of rates. The best rate on
any commodity controls the lines ii
will pursue to market, and ii Portland

rate, to this port, all else being equal
and propitious, as all else is, in this
huge premise, she viii still be mistress
OF the situation, with MIR. Wilcox still
figuring potently in the foreground Of
the great trade as usual Bar, bay and

handling of the fleets and Portland must
get busy in this interest and stay busy;
otherwise, Mr. Hill will DO the trick by
himself and Portland viii see her right
ful influence and interests swept from
her by reason Of her own negligence.
She must gag bit over the final and
flagrant recognition OF Astoria as the
real port OF the upper coast, but this
will wear off in time, and that she,

few days last week, and left Sunday for
Spokane. Mr.. Boyer repol is he is
pleased with the way the work on the

fact that they have been urable to Sc
cure the number of men they wanted.
Mr.. Boyer states the company is now
engaged on the most extensive develop
ment plan that it has ever undertaken,
chief of which is a 600-foot tunnel.
Work on the tunnel was started early
in the winter, and now little more
than half of it is completed. The tun-
mel will reach the ore at greater dis

THE SNOWSTORM
is UNDER BIG BOND

j. A. Coverly, owner of the Snow
storm group of mining claims near the
confluence of Red Horse creek and
American river, the first of the week
bonded the property in the sum of
$50, 900 to Ralph and Walter Pittock
of the Copper King and Portland part
les. Mr.. Coverly left Wednesday morn
ing for Lewiston and Spokane and will
in about two weeks go to Sioux City
and Chicago on a combined business
and pleasure trip stopping for visit
at his old home at Warren, Illinois, and
returning to Elk City about August 1st.
The terms of the bond are not for the
public, further than that work on the
property will not be started until about
the first of August. By that time the
road will be good so the machinery that
will be needed can be shipped at the
smallest expense possible. An air COM
pressor is one of the machines decided
and other purchases will be made by
Mr.. Pittock and Mr.. Coverly while they
are in Spokane this week. All orders
must be filled by the machinery COM
panies and shipment made to Sites
at once, in order to allow the company
ample time to get the machinery on the
ground by August 1st, and take advant-
age of the low freight rate while the
road is in good condition.

Mother Lode Shaft viii Be Sunk ! 900
Feet This Summer.

There is strong report in mining
circles here and in other places that the
Concord, in Buffalo Hump district, will
resume operations soon. The property
is owned by Boston capitalists. Opera
tions on extensive development work
were abruptly suspended last fall after
provisions and supplies for an all-winter
run had been freighted in, and at a time
that appeared to outsiders as the begin
ming of the most prosperous season in
the history of the company.
The cause for the sudden suspension
last fall gave rise to much speculation
in mining. circles in all the centers in
the northwest. Various reasons have
been ascribed, but lack of funds was
never entertained for a moment, for it
is quite generally believed that the Con-
cord has all the cash necessary, and its
stockholders willing that it shall be ex-
pended on any enterprise in connection
with the property that their manager
decides is necessary.
At the time of suspension work was
being done, principally, on 1,000-foot
shaft.
