ENGINEERS TO YIELD.
Settlement of Miners Differences in
Butte in Sight.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 27.-Although
no definite statements have yet been
made by either side, it developed late
tonight that there is plausible prospect
that the differences existing between
the Brotherhood of Stationary Engin-
eers No. and the Butte Miners union
may be settled, and the miners will re-
turn to their work at the various prop
critics before tomorrow morning.
1t is known that certain overtures
have been made to the engineers by the
officers of the miners union, and it is
quite probable the engineers will make
certain concessions which will be ac-
cepteable to the miners. Whether the
concessions will be permanent, and
whether they will involve return Of
the seeding engineers to the Western
Federation of Miners, it was impossi-
BILE to ascertain.
The adjustment will be reached, it is
believed, without bringing the mining
companies into the controversy, either
as arbitrators or because of their infiu-
ence, and it is highly probable that
there will be nothing for Charles Nov
er, president of the Western Federation
OF Miners, to settle when he arrives.

BIG FRUIT TRACT BOUGHT.
Eastern Capitalists Purchase 1880
Acres in Rogue Valley.

Grants Pass.-One of the largest
deals to take place in Rogue river fruit
lands occurred few days ago, when
a representative of Eastern capitalists
purchased the s. II. Riggs property,
consisting of 1860 acres. This is one
of the finest bodies of land in the
county, and is supplied with 1000
inches or more of water from the Ap-
plegate river. Its former owners found
much profit in raising three crops of
alfalfa each year, and selling it at from
$15 to $40 ton, but it has now be-
come so profitable to raise fruit that
three hay crops do not produce suf.
fcient revenue to satisfy the fruit.

will take possession of the premises on
the first day of January, and they will
at that time put on large force of
men to lay out the tract in an ideal
manner, with convenient avenues run.
ming in every direction, in order to
make it the largest tract of land de-
voted to fruit alone in Rogue river
valley. The entire premises will be
planted as rapidly as possible in
peaches, pears and commercial apples.
This place formerly belonged to Con-
sui H. B. Miller, but last year it was
sold to s. H. Riggs, who kept it nine
months, raised several hundred tons of
alfalfa hay, and sold out at a price up
into six figures.

BURNING LAKE STUDIED.
Adventurous Spirits Go Into Crater of
Active Volcano,

Honolulu, Sept. 27.-L. M. Hale, J..
Reynolds, and Earnest Moses, photo
grapher, descended today into the pit
of the crater of Mount Kilaueau, re-
naming half an hour on the edge of a
burning lake of lava and fire. This is
the first time that this feat has been
accomplished.
The members of the party ventured
almost to the rim of the seething lake
and attempted to take photographs.
The heat was intense and at times the
adventurers walked over partially
molten areas. After completing their
observations, they returned safely to
the rim of the crater, where half a
dozen friends had witnessed the descent.
Kilaueau is one of the largest active
volcanoes in the world, on the east
slope of Maunaloa, Hawaii island. Its
altitude is A, 400 feet and the circum-
ference of its crater is about nine
miles, with depth varying from 700
to l, 100 feet, depending upon the level
of the molten lava. Violent eruptions
occurred in 1897, 1874 and 1866, and
since the latter date there have been
several outbreaks of less severity.

Old Orchards in Coast Range Without
Care Give Fine Results.

Care Give Fine Results.
Cottage Grove-Lincoln Taylor, who
recently returned from an outing in
the coast mountains, says he found a
great many vacated homes throughout
the section visited by him and the or
chards, planted years ago by the home
steaders, have gone wild and the fruit
is to be found in great abundance.
Bears, coons and other fruit eating
animals have infested the orchards in
many places and the limbs have been
badly broken, but that has not affected
the bearing quality of the trees.
Mr.. Taylor says there is rarely a
case of scale or other disease to be
found on any of the trees, and the cod
lin moth is not in evidence. This is
splendid evidence in favor of the entire
coast range as fruit producing sections.
Henry H. Veatch too. while on a
hunting trip on Cedar creek, about
eight miles from Cottage Grove, came
upon splendid orchard that had been
entirely taken by the fir timber. He
brought out fair samples of the apples,
which surpass anything to be found on
the lower levels in size, color and aro-
matte excellence. The fruit resembles
the Gravenstein quite strongly, but is
more highly colored and measures
more than 10 inches in circumference.
On the William Landess ranch, just
east of town, there is fine Crawford
peach orchard in the fir timber which
is heavily laden with beautiful fruit.
