EXAMINING THE GOLD DUST.

Messrs Wilson and Dawson, two
gentlemen from the east, have been in
Oroville several days carefully exam
lining the Gold Dust mining property,
on Kruger mountain. They were say
ing nothing as to the object of their
visit and activity in gathering infor-
nation, but the natural inference is
that they would not be here making
such a minute investigation if there
was not an intention to inaugurate, or
recommend development work, in case
the results of the examination war;
ranted. Mr.. Wilson is said to be an
experienced smelter man, ,and if there
is any one thing needed more than an
other to hasten the opening up of the
Kruger mountain holdings it is the
presence of smelter men, especially if
they can convince themselves from
what is in sight that mines can be
made of these claims. The Gold Dust
is one of the numerous groups of min
ing claims .sandwiched in close to-
gether on Kruger mountain. Work
conducted in the past on the Gold
Dust gave evidence that mineral is
present in the ground, but it may re-
quire deep workings to decide its ex-

CHANCE FOR A CANNERY.

Everything seems to be coming Oro-
ville's way just at the present time
! and the combination of improvements
industries and utilities promised for
the future will hasten growth of the
town. bringing prosperity to the
neighborhood as well as to the town
itself j. G. Harris, of Gary, Ind, who
spent some little time in OrOville a
few weeks ago with Messrs Ellis and
Forde, is figuring on establishing a
cannery at this point. Below Is an ex-
tract from letter written by Mr..
Harris to Dell Hart, which goes to
show that he is in earnest 1t may be
stated that Mr. Harris will experience
no difficulty in interesting land own
ers in the valley, as well as those on
the uplands, in raising such vegetables
as are required for canning purposes
He will find the quality and quantity
OF the products of the valley and sur
rounding country equal to that of any
section of the country. The residents
of the town and neighborhood should
join together and extend every assis-
tance in their power to further this
laudable enterprise, in fact special
meeting of the Oroville Growers Asso-
citation is to be called for the purpose
of ascertaing the acreage it's men,
bers will be willing to devote this
coming season to the support of an
institution OF this sort and will notify
Mr.. Harris at once in regard to the
same Mr. Harris says:
Since coming back east, | have
carefully investigated matters regard
ing the location of a canning factory
in your town. and, acting upon your
promise to give it your hearty support,
| am going to impose upon you by re-
questing you to mail me, if possible,
sample of peas raised on the upland.
| thought perhaps you would be able
to do this as you. no doubt. raise gar
den truck near your mountain home.
"On account of the low land being
SO high priced, | am afraid that it
would be difficult to get the farmers
TO raise truck for a cannery. There
fore, we will probably have to resort
to the high. unirrigated land for the
production of peas, of which | would
probably require about six hundred
acres, after the first year. About two
hundred acres would be all would be
count of inexperienced help and hav-
canned goods. If peas can be raised
on the upland with any degree of
success, the farmers will be able to
realize from $50 to $125 per acre, de-
pending upon the condition of the soil
That would be better than raising
wheat or alfalfa"
Evidently Mr.. Harris has failed to
take into consideration the fact that
the valley irrigated places produce so
much more per arce than the high
ranches that if he can guarantee the
hill folks even 800 dollars per arce
for their crop of peas it will pay the
valley men much more than this and
pay them well while they are bring
ing their trees into bearing. Besides
this he will save in contracting for
a full acreage as the valley crop will
practically all be harvested and out of
the way by the time the upland ranch
es commence sending in their peas,
thus really giving the cannery here

Brown. the senate today returned TO him
his nominations 10 the state board Of ed
ucation No action was taken on the
Hoke Smith appointments.
BY recalling his appointments, Gov
ernor Brown prevented them from being
fought IN Brown Smith lines. The sen
ate is now left with the Smith appoint
ments TO he approved or rejected Those
appointments are: Or. Jere NJ Pound
ia j. Woofter and J c Langston.
The legal point raised in the senate
that the Smith nominations We're made
to fin real vacancies and were not ad
interim appointments. and the apparent
strength on this view with members Of
the upper house. was largely responsible
for the governors action in Withdrawing
his nominations He declined today to
discuss his future action in the matter.
The name Of Walter Steed, appointed
by Governor Brown to succeed the late
Judge Lawson, was Withdrawn so that
the senate will have but three names to
consider whereas there are four vacan-
cies on the board The Brown appoint
ments were G r Glenn, 7. J. Woofter

SLEUTHING WITH AID
OF DICTOGRAPH NOT
FAVORED BY POLICE

Chief of Police Beavers is not much
in favor of the photograph As a gathereI
of evidence. He said so today.
The trouble with such evidence as
serted the chief, is that it is usually
not admissible. Telephone converse
lions are not admitted unless identif-
cation of the parties talking is abso-
lutte, and so with the photograph. Or
dlnariy the stenographer recording die
tograph notes can not identify the per-
sons or voices sufficiently to make the
evidence worth anything"
A photograph agent called on Chief
Beavers recently In an effort to place
one of the instruments with the loca
department, but the chief had substan-
tally the above objections and accord
ingly refused to buy.
