FIND RICH SILVER ORE
IN NINE NEAR WALLACE.

Wallace, Oct. 25.---Sone OF the
most remarkable specimens of silver
ere are being found, assaying as
high as 10000 ounces in silver to the
ton, whereas ordinary ore assays
from 40 to 100 ounces to the ton.
In other samples great masses Of sill
yer threads stand out in beautiful
disarray, being native or pure silver.
A peculiar circumstance is that the
richest silver is not the showiest but
appears in form of ore that the
greenhorn would cast aside as coun-
try rock. The prettier forms of the
silver ore are carried away in abund-
ance by the miners, some of whom
have cabinets filled with specimens
they have collected.

PORTLAND DOES NOT
FEAR CENSUS RECOUNT.

Portland. Ore, Oct. 25-Portland
has nothing to fear from a census
recount, declares S. G. Beach, SUI
pervisor of the census, who directed
the taking of the enumeration in this
city. He says he will welcome re-
count for the total will now show at
least $4,000 more people than his
count included.
But there will be no recount of
Portland's people, according to the
best information obtainable. The
census authorities are satisfied, it is
learned, that the few errors that
crept into the count We're uninten-
tional and are more in the nature of
commonplace errors to be eliminat-
ed rather than deliberate falsifica-
ton.
In few instances, it is true. it Is
noted that enumerators appear to
have been over-zealous, but in these
scattered cases it is thought the de-
sire of the enumerator was to add as
many names as possible to his string
in order to increase his earnings
Certainly those who did this acted in
their own initiative and in spite of
repeated cautions by the supervisors.
"Tle Portland count was correct
and was an honest one" said Super
visor Beach. 'The yellow label
campaign poured thousands of names
into our offices but every one OF
them was checked up and not a name
was placed on the census roll that
had not been verified.

entire city for 7 am certain that

orators and turned in on the census
rolls April IS. With a five per cent
reduction of 223 900, Portland will
still have approximately $4,000
people. according to the first count
If that count could be made today il
would show much greater total"
