Portland's Rose Festival.

A brilliant historical street pageantry
developing the growth and progress of
Northwestern civilization since the
empire was first discovered, is the uni
que and novel feature which the thou
sands of school children of the city will
add to the programme of the Portland
Rose Festival to be held here the week
of June 5-10 This public street pro-
cession will supplement another strik-
ingly elaborate spectacle, also of his
torical purport which will take place
on the new Multnomas Club Field.
These two events will be novelties
which will bea part of the continuous
programme for the six days in which
there will be parades, decorative for
the daytime and Illuminated for the
night. All told six such street pag-
eants will be given in what is by all
means solidest and heaviest week Ct
pastime, amusement, entertainment
and education ever held in the Pacif c
Northwest if not in the West.
No like celebration has been favored
by the railroads with such generous
rates and combination of selling-dates.
This applies both to through transcon-
tinental fares and rates from points in
the Northwest.
The Rose Festival visitor will have
the opportunity to any number of side
trips, and in fact many inquiries have
been received at Festival headquarters
from all parts of the country indicating
that a goodly number of Fasteners
expect to see all they can Of the match
less scenic beauties of this territory as
we'll as to look for desirable invest
ments.
Even New Englanders and people
from the south are making such in
quiries.
Of especial importance will be the
Festival rates this year because with a
90-day return limit, the essterners will
be able to spend that time on the coast
seeing the Rose Festival in Portland in
June and the Astoria Centennial cele-
bration in August.
Never before have the communities
of Oregon had such an opportunity for
getting the eastern friends, business
men and investors interested in local
enterprises, for two such attractions
as the Rose Festival and the Astoria
celebration are bound to induce thou
sands of strangers to come here that
would not otherwise do so.

The Small Mine Owner.

The greatest fault with the average
email mine owner lies in the fact that
he is inclined to demand an extortion-
ate price for his claims, or to insist on
terms that few bonding interests care
to accept Particularly is this true
when the clam adjoins rich mine, or
is located in district of proven great
ness. On this account hundreds of
prospects are lying dormant today that
might otherwise have been contribut-
ing their treasures TO the wealth of the
world. This tendency to over-value
mining claims has assisted in keeping
many merito1ious districts in the back
ground, and the sooner the owner man
ifests disposition to meet the .bonder
or buyer on a fair basis, the better will
it be for the mining industry.
When bonding company desires to
secure control of an improved property
and finds the owner demanding exorb-
liant terms, the chances are that its
representatives will retire from the dis
trict. Disguised with the narrow spirit
exhibited by it's residents. For no COM
pany will pay large amounts in cash
and agree upon extracting terms unless
the property has been developed beyond
the prospect stage. The wise owner
realizing this promptly comes to terms
with the concern making the first fav-
orable offer. He does not give his
property away; far from it; but he
does meet the capitalist half way. The
bonding of a prospect means that the
Interested people must expend con-
siderable amount of cash in explora-
lions and developments, and not I'M
commonly it is necessary to erect costly
hoists, install pumps and other equip
ment. And if the terms are not at
tractive at the onset the bonders will
seek elsewhere for what they desire.
To court investment in the district, the
mining residents must present compell-
ing attractions.
But when the merit of the property
is already demonstrated; when the ore
reserves are comprehensive and the
profits good; when the value of the
mine is proved certainty; then it is
little short of criminal foolishness for
the owner to permit himself to be de-
spoiled be interests that only serve to
cast reflections upon the great industry
of them ALL Ana when bond and
option are sought, the owner. owes it to
himself to see that he is protected, and
that his mine is passing into the hands
of those able and willing to work it to
the best advantage Of al concerned. =

tent upon locating its source, expecting
invariably, to find that it has broken
away from an outcropping ledge further
up toward the crest of the range, 1t
nearly always transpires that the hedge
is found and that it forms the discovery
point for location; and it is from such
discoveries that many producing and
dividend-paying mines are added to the
splendid string of wealth-producers
with which so many of the mining
camps of the west are endowed.
1t often happens, however, that with
the development of such discoveries, in
the running of cross-cuts, in the max
ing of u,raises, and in the sinking of
wines, Blind lodges are found which,
in many instances, carry higher values,
are larger in point of size, and which
are stronger and more permanent than
were the out-cropping lodges upon
which the first locations were made.
AS matter of fact, so many valu-
able discoveries of this character have
been made in the number of our mining
camps of late that The Mining Review
feels impelled TO call attention to their
value and Importance, and to the fur
Their fact that mine owners, in the oper-
alton and development of their proper
ties. should pay more attention to the
many hints so often thrown out by
Dame Nature, to the signs in the rocks
as to the probable existence of deposits
of the precious metals heretobefore I'M
suspected. Oxidized spots and patches
on the walls of the vein should be in
vestigated, and promising stringers
should be followed, as they often lead
to the main ore body of the mine; for
mer operations having been confined to
nothing more than an off-shoot of the
lode or a smaller parallel deposit; and
this superstition is reasonable, as it is
often the case that the main ledge has
been eroded at the surface to be
covered later on with debris, or, in its
origin, it may not have reached the
surface at all. 1t is also often the case
that what was at first supposed to be
the wall of the vein, is merely false
wall, beyond which exists the richest
and largest ore deposits in the mine.
In many cases the life and value of a
mine is not confined to the single ledge,
as it has often been found, by thorough
investigation, that the boundary lines
of mining properties embrace parallel
veins loaded with immense deposits Of
high grade and low-grade ore, the ex-
istence of which were not even dreamed
of before by experts and mining opera
tors. The history of mining in the
west is replete with instances of this
character, and recent discoveries in this
line should encourage the search for the
hidden vein; for the blind ledge. Sail

WEEK OF PRAYER.

1t has for many years been the Gus
tom OF evangelical churches the world
over to observe the first full week OF
each year as week OF prayer for
Gods blessing upon all mankind. In
accordance with this custom the
churches of Durango will hold serv-
ices on Monday, Tuesday. Thursday
and Friday evenings. Two services
will be held each evening. one in the
Methodist church on the north side
and the other in the Methodist church
on the south side. Each church will
hold its own Sabbath and Wednesday
evening services. May we not turn
aside for little time each day and
unite our prayers with those of the
Christians Of all Christendom.
