Belmont Ore

High grade milling filing every face
of all workings on ore tells the story
of the Belmont mine this week, and
the general condition of the property
is better today than at any other time
in its history Down at the mill a
highly satisfactory condition exists, and
the way the bullion and concentrates
are being turned out is wonderful. An
other shipment of bullion, amounting
to 40 bars, weighing 1876 pounds. was
made yesterday. and when it is con-
sidered that this output is from the
cyanide precipitates alone, 1t is easy
to prophesy that the total output for
June will be an eye opener. Again, to
this must be added the value of the
ore sent to the smelter, a carload of
which is shipped nearly every day. the
grade being much higher than that sent
to the mill. Notwithstanding that this
rich ore is being sent to the smelter,
the average run at the mill is by far
the best being milled at any of the
local plants. The mill is doing excel
lent work, crushing and treating from
200 to 220 tons daily, and making an
extraction of over 90 per cent. Upon
the installation of cOarser screens, the
daily output will be increased to 240

A WAREHOUSE SALE
Preston Parton Milling Company Was
In Need of More Storage Room
Deal Closed Wednesday

The big red warehouse, one of the
largest in the Inland Empire, built
in this city several years ago by the
Pacific Coast Elevator company, has
been sold TO the Preston Parton Mill
ing company, the deal having heen
closed up Wednesday by the mill peo-
lie and S. A. Barnes, agent for the
elevator company.
Tfe Preston Parton company has
been short of storage room ever since
1t put in its big milling plant here,
and has been forced every season to
lease storage room for wheat from
other warehouse companies doing bus
iness here.
Two years ago the company pur-
chased the old elevator building of
the Pacific Coast company and had 1t
moved TO the mill site where it made
part of the plant. Within year
the storage capacity of this building
proved inadequate to taking care of
the wheat purchased for milling pur
roses. and the company was forced to
iind storage room elsewhere.
The milling industry has grown to
such an extent that tie company finds
itself justified in adding the big
warehouse to its holdings here. and
Charles McFsrland. who has Eeen in
the employ of the Pacific Coast Ele-
vator company, has been retained in
charge of the warehouse for the Pres
ton Parton company.

STRAIN IS NAMED.
Umatilia County Assessor Is Being
Doomed by Democrats for R, r.
Commissioner at Large.

Q. p. Strain, assessor of Umatilla
county during the past eight years,
is being strongly urged to run for the
democratic nomination for railroad
com ssioner. aud he will take that
pomiuation if it is rendered him, says
the East Oregoniap. An announce
ment 10 this effect was made by Will
NJ. Peterson, democratio chairman for
Umatilla conuty and the statement
that he will accept the nomination If
| rendered him was later endorsed by
Mr. Strain himself
As explained by Assessor Strain,
| bis candidacy is up to his democratic
! friends. He is not out seeking the
/ nomination for railIoad commissioner.
On the other hahd he has aspired to
run for governor upon the democratio
ticket. But the multiplicity of DEM
ocratio candidates, together with
other considerations has caused him
| to virtually withdraw from that race.
He is now of mind to keep clear Of
1 the coming campaign and serve out
| his term as assessor. Yet If the dem
| ocrats of the state want him to run
/ for railroad commissioner at large,
to succeed Oswald West be will make
the race. Should he secure the DEM
ocratic nomination Mr.. Strain will
/ have to run for commissioner at large
! against Frank Miller of ALBANY, who
! secured the assembly nomination re-
GENTLY.
Local friends of Mr.. Strain are en-
thusiastio in backing him as a can
didate for railroad commissioner for
which position they declare he has
/ peculiar qualifications. They point
| with pride to his record as assessor to
| which position he has been elected
three times, running upon the demo-
cratic ticket in strongly republican
/ county. He was first chosen assessor
in 1902 and soon after entering office
he took up the matter Of raising the
o. r. & N. company's assessment. At
that time the company was assessed
at the rate of $4,000 per mile for its
right of way, the assessment being at
one-third valuation. MIR. Strain i'm
mediately began an investigation and
at the conclusion of the same trebled
the railroads assessment by making
it $12, 900 per mile on a one third val,
uation. The y. R. & N. company
resisted the raise and the matter wa'
fought out in the courts. However
the county won out and the company
paid the increased taxation. At tht
\ time the increase was made the change
! meant approximately $4,000 a year
: for Umatilla county. The .. r. q N.
company now pays taxes on an as
sessmeDt of $4,000 per mile for its
j roadbed, the assessment being at a
full valuation.
i In view of the fact that Mr.. Strain
was aple to make the advanUe stick,
his friends say be should be ft tim
ber for the board Of railroad COM
