Oregon May Adopt New Plan IN
Student Body.
University of Oregon, Eugene
President Campbell called meeting of
the freshman class of the university
and discussed with them the Inaugural
tion Of the Oxford system of taking
care of the incoming freshmen. The
president asked the class to appoint
committees to meet the freshmen on
their arrival in September, aid them in
registering, finding rooms and in be-
coming familiar with different branches
of student enterprise. He asked that
one committee be selected to pick out
those interested in debate and see that
they were given opportunity to take
part in debate work at the university.
According to the custom in vogue
at Oxford" President Campbell said,
"the freshmen are the guests of the
older students for the first week of col
lege and great deal of time is de-
voted to entertaining them and making
them feel at home. Some of the East
ern colleges have adopted this English
method and the installment of the GUS
tom at the University of Oregon will
bring happy results"
Senator Miller, a member of the
board of regents, then addressed the
freshmen, speaking in general way
of hazing and its evil results.

Power Plant Wrecked.

Trinidad, COL, June 7.-Virtually
every branch of industry in this city
and neighboring towns is at stand
still, as result of the destruction of
the new powerhouse of the Southern
Colorado Power company. An explo-
sion in the transformer started fire
which wiped out the plant, causing a
loss on building and machinery of more
than 100000. The fire is nothing
short of calamity, as it cuts off the
power which operates the local and in
terurban electric lines, lighting plant,
newspaper plants, foundries. etc.

Ancient Apron Is Found.

Seattle, June 8.-A valuable gold
embroidered Mason's apron, at least
/, 900 years old, was found on mummy
which Captain E. W. Sprague, of the
American schooner Columbia, picked
up on his last trip to Calloa, for a few
dollars. The apron is hand-embroid-
cred in real gold thread. Captain
Sprague bought the apron from con-
tractor who had unwittingly purchased
a mummy, and was anxious to get rid
of the thing. Many high Masons have
attempted to decipher the sympols, but
no one has yet been able to read them.

Nav Sets New Record.

Eugene-The month of May has
been the best month of the year for
building permits. The amount issued
was $135, 900. The Office of building
Inspector was created year ago in
April. The report for May of this
year is better than for both April and
May of 1908. Among the more expen-
sive buildings for which permits have
been granted during the past 80 days
are two school houses for Sl8, 900 each
to be located in Fairmount and West
Eugene, and the Sanford brick, on
Willamette, which will cost SIC, 900.
The list includes % residences, costing
from 81, 900 to S., 600 each.

Columbia Still Rises,

The Dalles, Or, June 5.-The COL
umbia river rose more than seven feet
at this point during the past 80 hours
and continues gradually to rise. The
beach is flooded up to the Umatilla

are under water. The Open River and
Regulator lines wharf boats have been
moved on account of the high water
and the ferryboat now lands at the foot
of Washington street, two blocks from
its regular landing.

That's What Complete System to
Chicago Will Cost.

Chicago, June IA complete sys-
tenn of subways for Chicago will cost
from $1OO, 900, 900 to SIP, 900, 900, and
be able to transport from 509,960 to
529, l2O passengers hourly, with seats

BRUTES TORTURE WOMEN.
Put Lighted Candles on SoIes of Feet
in Effort to Get Money.

Pittsburg, June 8.-The work of
robbers today at Belmont, Pa, near
this city, has so aroused the community
that a lynching is threatened if the
men are captured.
Five men, all masked, broke into the
home of Mrs. Minnie Ashe, 80 years
old, and ransacked the place. With
the aged woman were her daughter,
Mrs. Mary Ober, 60 years old, and her
granddaughter, Miss Minnie Ober, %
years of age.
The men found only $3.50 in the
house, and, believing there was more,
bound the three women and tortured
them. They used picture wire in fas-
tening the women to chairs. Then they
held lighted candles to their bare feet.

Oregon Board Files Suit.

Salem-The state railroad commits
sion today filed complaint with the
interstate commerce commission
against the O. R. & NJ, the Oregon
Short Line and so or more connecting
Eastern lines, charging that wool rates
are unreasonable and unjust, both
generally and relatively in considera-
tion of the transportation services per-
formed, and are discriminatory and un-
duly prejudicial to the said dealers and
shippers in that they are higher than
the rates now in force and charged by
the said defendants for the transporta-
tion over their lines of wool of all
kinds from Portland, Oregon, to Allan
tic coast and other Eastern points"

Douglas Cherries on Market

Roseburg douglas county cherries
are now in the market, the first of the
season being brought in on May 20.
The quality will be extra fine this
year, to some extent owing to the late
frosts which thinned them to small
extent. Owing to the fact that the
cherry crop of the Willamette will fall
below half of the usual amount, the
growers of this county expect to secure
fancy prices for all their fruit this
season.

NEVADA CON. LEADS THE ELYS ON
A STRONG WEEK END MARKET

Yesterday was distinguished by
absence of the usual Saturday quiet
on the eastern curbs. In it's place
during the short hours of trading
was plenty of animation and activity.
The Elys held to their forward posi-
ton in the interest of the trading
public and were sought freely. They
closed strong.
Nevada Con. provided a sensation
in the trading, leading the way with
a big jump from the Friday closing
at $26.37k to $28.37k, or a clean
gain of So in the short hours. There
was nothing in particular to cause
the advance further than the steady
movement which has followed appre-
citation of the worth of the property
as the annual report has been di-
gested and the benefits attending alb
sorption of Cumberland Ely become
understood. That the stock will
cross $50 during the present week is
an expectation that would seem to be
well justified. And Cumberland Ely
is rightly entitled to share under
the existing circumstances for the
higher Con. goes the more value at
taches to Cumberland shares traded
in on the merger at 8 IA for one of
Nevada. Cumberland should cross
the $40 mark early in the week.

Ely issues. 1t now looks very much
as if the Federal Ely option will be
taken up, which, if true, will force
the stock up around the soc level,
which the option was secured for.
Boston Ely was slightly lower on a
good deal of profit taking, but antici-
pate a stronger market for this stock
next week and believe it should be
bought at present prices for a strong
pull in the next. ninety days. Ne
vada United still continues on it's Up
ward move, appears quite strong and
looks due to work higher. Ely Con.
and Ely Central were firm and the
brightest spots of the entire list.
Mason Valley has been in good de-
mand of late and looks exceedingly
good for higher levels. If the merit
of the property has anything to do
with the stock, Mason Valley should
be selling around $500 per share,
as this is far less than is actually
blocked out and in sight in the mine.
Giroux was also a very strong factor
in the market today and bids fair to
establish a new level.

are concrete; there are two hoists,
an engine and air-compressor, two
boilers, one of 80 and one of $50
horsepower.
The order of the day is speed and
efficiency. Four hundred feet to the
west of the main working shaft the
location for the permanent hosting
plant has been staked, and this too,
will rest on concrete foundations.
The temporary hoist will be in use
for a year, maybe Is months, before
the Giroux shaft will be completed.
1t will be sunk to a depth of 1000
feet, and may be sent 1000 feet fur
Their. 1t is the intention of President
Cole to thoroughly explore the lime
stone with it's aid, with the excep-
ton of Old Glory hill, which will be
exploited through the old Alpha
shaft. The spur track is another
large enterprise of the Giroux Con-
solidated. There will be really three
tracks, and the trackage will cover,
approximately, three miles. The
main track is destined for the Alpha
shaft, and the first branch will fol-
low a circuitous path to the Giroux.
From the latter a side-track for the
storage of ore cars will be laid over
a quite lengthy course. On Bunker
hill and to the south of it the drills
are at work. This is the location for
the steam shovel pit in the porphyry
ore. Three shafts have proven the
ore in the hill, but still the drills are
kept at work demonstrating more
ore. Bunker hill promises to prove
a rival of note to the pit of the Ne

feet out at the 400 level was recently
started and they have returns going
as high in gold as $e.44.
ELY CALUMET-Tex Richard,
M of the principal owners in the
Ely Calumet is now in Salt Lake to
buy machinery for sinking on the
North Star claim of the property. En-
gineer j. X. Turner of the company
accompanied Mr.. Richard, leaving
the work in charge of the surveyors,
who will enable him to determine
where the shaft will be started upon
his return. Whether the tunnel will
be driven in on the east side, as was
first intended, will depend upon the
development of the ore from the sur
face. Should it prove to dip to the
east, the tunnel will be run into the
hill to catch it.

vada Consolidated.

SdQd SODoOiiodlOu.
ELY CENTRAL-The Ely Central
made its first shipment of ore this
week, sending a carload to the Salt
Lake shelters from the Clipper
claim. On the Clipper they have
started a second shaft, designed to
tap the ore at depth of about 20 feet.
This is the ore from which the ship
ment was made and which has a
width of IA in the drift. Similar
work is being done on the Monarch
claim, the second shaft there being
down nearly 20 feet and in oxidized
material. 1t is estimated that the
ore will be tapped at 25 or q feet.
On the Eureka fraction the three
compartment shaft, which is being
sunk to catch the ore from the steam
shovel pit, is down to the 200 foot
level where they have put in a sta
ton to catch the water coming in IN
the east side of the shaft at the 155
and 1856 levels. A No. Z Cameron
pump is to be installed. Should ore
water come in below the 200, a sec
ond Cameron will be in readiness to
be used as a sinker and raise the
water to the station.

Consolidated is working two shafts,
one on the Brilliant and the other
on the FAC claim, and President Levy,
who has been in the district for the
past week, announces that work will
be commenced shortly on the Amer
lean shaft. The principal work is

DEATH IN HIS OWN INVENTION.

on a larger scale. Among the small
er stocks discrimination is taking
the place of the somewhat blind rush
which was in evidence at the begin
ming of the movement. Ely Witch
and Federal Ely seem to have been
figured out as extending the most
promise for early returns. The
Witch feeling is the outgrowth of
belief that early resumption of de-
vdopment will be made on the prop
erty, while in the case of Federal
Ely expected development as well as
talk of sale of the water right of
the company are the factors.
NEVADA CONSOLIDATED-The
steam shovel pit of the Nevada Con-
solidated is growing wider and deep
er every day, and a week shows a
big change in the appearance of the
great mountain of ore. The returns
of the concentration for the month of
October is the best proof of the i'm
mensity of the work that is going
on at Copper Flat, 20S,0 900 tons of
ore having passed through the mill.
All of this was the output for the
month of the steam shovel pit, or an
average of $500 tons a day. In the
pit five steam shovels are at work
all the time. One of the big scoops
is now engaged on the floor of the
excavation, where there is nothing
but ore; another is stripping the ore
to the west near the entrance of the
pit; the remaining three are on the
first, second and third terraces on
the east side. One of these is TAX
ing out ore on the first terrace; on
the second terrace they are working
in both overburden and ore, and to
the south on the brow of the hill
overlooking the vast ore hole, an
other is taking down the overburden.
New tracks have been laid further to
the east, increasing the width of the
pit and mining will continue in this
direction all winter. Last year at
this time there was little or no sun
on the east side, and the ground
froze easily through the night and
was difficult to work next day. This
was in consequence of the then mar
row confines of the pit. Now there
is sunshine and warmth here nearly
all day when the sun shines at all,
making the entire pit an open work
shop.
GIROUX CONSOLIDATED-This
ground is a hive OF industry, WORK
going on in all directions, and in
the neighborhood of 800 men being
employed. The big work is tina on
the fve-compartment shaft on the
Alpha claim, but there are scores or
men engaged in grading the spur
track from the line of the Nevada
