Prominent Mining Men Organize to
Promote the Mining Industry.
THE SCOPE OF THE WORK
Membership Includes Men of
Many Districts.

After repeated and energetic en-
deavor by James H. Callbreath and
three weeks hard work by H. S. Tay-
lor and H. L. Thompson Of Denver
permanent branch of the American
Mining congress was yesterday organ
lied in Spokane, entirely separate from
the Stopers of the World, says the
Spokesman-Review. The purpose of
the congress is the furtherance of min
ing interests in the field and legislative
halls.
During two weeks Mr.. Taylor and
Mr.. Thompson have been making per-
sonal canvass in this city and vicinity
with the result that So names were yes
terday announced for members, includ
ing w. J. Elmendorf, c. M. Fassett,
Andrew Laidlaw, w. w. Merk, c. P.
Robbins, Arthur Phillips and numerous
others operating in the Coeur d'Alenes,
Elk City and Washington camps. With
the present roll Of members it is shown
that there is no connection between the
congress and the Stopers of the World,
an entirely different organization, with
an entirely different purpose. The lat
ter society, having been organized here
several months ago, at first regarded
the congress as overlapping in its pur-
poses and so without utility here, but
arguments We're advanced to show this
was not the case, and a large number
Of persons who belong to the Stoper'
have signifed their intention Of joining
the congress.
The following officers We're elected
President, w. j. Elmendorf; first yic'
president, p. M. Baumgartner; second

CONCENTRATES.
Items of Interest Picked Up
for Mining News Readers.

A new rich strike in the Umatilla,
near Orogrande, was made the first Of
the week.
Joe Sugars and John Grinde, in the
Four Mile country, have located ledge
eight feet wide that is rich in free gold.
w. H. Musser, a late arrival from
Newport, Washington, has located a
mining claim in Wheeler gulch that has
a ledge five feet wide on the surface,
and the ore pans free gold.
Charley Syenson found another ledge
Of rich gold ore in the Gold Bullion on
Monday that for richness probably goes
ahead of any discovery yet made on the
property. The rock is literally "alive"
with free gold. The vein is 20 inches
wide.
Jack Anderson the first Of the week

half interest in the Alabama mining
claims, near the Erroson Reef. The

NET PROFIT FIFTY PER CENT
New Distributor Does Much
for Mining.

Orogrande, July 1.-The Butte and
Orogrande (Hogan) property is paying
SO per cent clear of the values taken
out of the ore, the success being due to
new arrangements in the mill by VIM.
Hogan, who has been in charge since
the big property resumed operation two
\ -1onths ago. Under the new arrange
ment different kind Of distributor is
in use, which runs close to the tops OF
the teaching tanks. 1t is not necessary
to elevate the pulp; the classifers are
below the plates. Mr.. Hogan states
there is a saving Of $50 a day by not
having to elevate the pulp. The new
distributor is one Of Mr.. Hogan's own
manufacture. A great saving also is
made by teaching longer. Just before
the mill was closed down two years ago
the average daily run Of the mill was
200 tons. From 125 to $50 tons are be-
ing run now. so per cent Of the values
are being saved on the plates. The
mine and mill are now employing in the
neighborhood of 20 men, but it is likely
this number will be increased greatly
within q short time.
What the Success Means.

Hogan can be made to pay there ar

BERKELEY TO Be
ALSO REM0DELED
Separation OF Seniors And Juniors
From Freshmen And
SuphOmOres
DrMrNuTIoN NOT ELIMINATION.
Statement BY The Head OF me
Department OF
Education

BERKELEY, April 1.-THE Uni
versity of California has been for the
last 10 years working toward a plan
for the separation OF the senior and
Junior years from those of the fresh
men and sophomores and linking the
latter to the high schools. The plan
has been consistently followed out by
the university during this period, al
though we do not look forward to the
elimination Of the freshmen and So
phomores, but rather TO the diminution
of their numbers in the university
when the smaller colleges and nigh
schools of the state gradually increase
their scope of studies to include those
of the first two years of university
work.
In the foregoing statement made this
afternoon Professor Alex. f. Lange,
head Of the department of education
of the University of California, out
lined the course that the university
| has been pursuing to bring about a
line of demarcation between the first
two and the last two years of uni
versity work. Professor LANCE, who is
an authority on all matters pertaining
to education, said that there was a
mechanical but not an organic separa-
ton between the high school and the
first two years of the university, but
that the line was more strongly de-
fined between the university students
of the lower division and those of the
seniors and juniors, the upper divi-
sion.
This statement is interesting in con-
junction with President Jordans re-
Gently announced plans for the reno
deling of Stanford University.

WRITES
TO THE EDITORS
AN EXTENSIVE PLAN TO SEND IN
FORMATION REGARDING ORl-
ENTAIL AFFAIRS FROM HERE.
The following letter is being sent to
editors all over the United States:

The following letter is being sent to
editors all over the United States:
Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii.
Dear Sir:-One Of the greatest ques-
lions before America today is what
shall be the future relations between
the people of the United States and the
people of China. In the near future a
new treaty is to be made between Am
erica and China. Before that is done
the intelligent thinking people, not OF
one section only but of the whole coun-
try, should carefully consider this
question. Large interests, present and
future, are involved, and in the cause
of right and liberty and the future de-
velopment and prosperity of the Unit
ed States, this important matter should
receive careful attention.
The undersigned, at present the SUI
perintendent of Chinese work in Ha.
wall. and having lived for many years
in the Orient, speaking and reading
both the Chinese and japanese Ian
guages is much interested in all ORR
entail questions. Chinese and Japanese
newspapers are constantly read and
important movements in the East of
Asia are watched with care.
The Chinese of Hawaii wish the
American people to understand more
clearly the real conditions found in
this Island Territory. News items and
articles of special interest will be sent
to all newspapers and magazines who
would like to publish the same.
Hawaii is becoming not only the
most remarkable place in the Pacific,
but is fast growing to be one of the
important world centers Here are
gathered people from all the great ma
lions. Here in Honolulu the east and
the west, the Orient and the Occident,
constantly meet in friendly inter-
course. The World comes to us, and
Hawaii is now becoming a great inter-
national experimental station. Almost
every man of worldwide fame and
every traveller will in time surely touch
at these Pacific Islands. The visit OF
the great American fleet this summer
will bring Hawaii more prominently
than ever before the world Great
movements affecting the east and the
west may have their origin in Hawaii.
Would you care to receive Chinese and
! Oriental news Of more than local in
| terest from here? can act as a sort
of special oriental correspondent and
from time to time send you such items
and articles Please send me in re.
turn copies of your paper

mittee.

this end at this time is to provide for
the building of four additional battle
ships. | earnestly wish that the con-
gress would pass the measures for
which l have asked for strengthening
and rendering more efficient the army
as well as the navy, All of these meas
ures as affecting every branch and de-
tail of both services are sorely needed,
and it would be the part of far sighted
wisdom to enact them all into laws,
but the most vital and immediate need
is that of the four batteships.
SPIRIT OF WASHINGTON.
To carry out this policy is but to act
in the spirit of George Washington, is
but to continue the policies which he
outlined when he said: Observe good
faith and justice toward all nations.
Cultivate peace and harmony with all.
Nothing is more essential than that
permanent, inveterate antipathies
against particular nations and passion
ate attachments for others should be
excluded, and that in place of them
just anu dlllitlblC lSClliSS AOWdIu al
should be cultivated. / can recon-
mend to your notice measureS for the
fulfillment of our duties to the rest ST
the world without again pressing up
on you the necessity of placing oursel-
yes in a condition of complete defense
and of exacting from them the fulfill
ment of their duties toward us.
The United States ought not to in
dulge a persuasion that, contrary to
the order of human events, time will
forever keep at a distance those pain
full appeals to arms with which the his
tory of every other nation abounds.
There is rank due to the United States
among nations, which will be withheld,
if not lost, by the reputation of weak
ness. If we desire to avoid insult Ee
must be able to repel it; if we desire to
secure peace, one of the most powerful
instruments of our rising prosperity,
it must be known that we are at all
times ready for war.

STRONG CAST
OF THE MASCOT

Much has been promised Of the forth
coming production Of THE Mascot" on
Thursday next, and the public may rest
assured that all promises will be fcs1ill-
ed.
The management is fortunate in hav-
ing secured the best talent oLtainable
locally to take part and all the prin-
cipals are we'll known to Honolulu
tneater goers
Such well known singers as Mrs. H.
r. Crook, Mr.. Hugo Herzer. Jimmie"
Dougherty, together with such popular
fun makers as Sonny" Cunha and
M. H. Webb, can always draw crowded
houses and have not failed to do so in
The Mascot.
Whilst mentioning this list of prin-
cipals, Mrs. Hugo Herzer must by no
means be left out Although not so
often seen on the stage, Mrs. Herzer
has very many warm admirers in Ho-
nolulu, and is destined to make a great
hit in THE Mascot. Mrs Herzer has
charming voice and a very telling
stage presence, whilst her action is all
that can be desired.
Mrs. L. r. Crook is far too well
known to need any introduction. All
know and admire her splendid voice
and commanding presence. Mrs. Crook
has now recovered from her recent at
tack of influenza and will be heard to
great advantage on Thursday.
Mr.. Hugo Herzer, who has the entire
direction and management of THE
Mascot in his hands, is also taking
the leading part of Pippi. AS this
character Mr.. Herzer is excellent.
AS all know, Mr.. Herzer is one OF
the leading singing teachers of this
city, and so Pippo gets the great benefit
of his splendid voice and knowledge
of singing generally.
AS Prince Frederick, Mr.. James d.
Dougherty leaves nothing to be desired
'Jimmie's' very popular voice lends it.
self to this difficult role and his solo!
will give much pleasure Too mucr
cannot be said of his rendition of Mrs
Carrie Jacob-Bond's Longing"
Sonny Cunha will as usual have al
important part in The Mascot" anC
will see that everybody is kept in
happy tsate of mind. Besides attend
ing to the fun department, however
Sonny has not neglected his grea
musical ability, and his help in thi
respect has been great He has in
troduced two specialties which ar,
bound to make big hits.
Mr. NJ. H. Webb, who in The Mas
cot is "Sonnys" side partner as i
were, ably lacks that comedian up. MI
Webb has an exceedingly pleasing vote
which only adds still more to his value
With such a splendid list of princi
pals it would be pity not to have
chorus of equal ability and the man
agement has seen to it that the choru
is in keeping with the principals.
Nobody can afford to miss Thurs
days production. If you wish to b
