MINING NEWS

An important mining deal is now
under way and probably will be put
through in a few days, involving the
bonding of the Gloucester group in
Franklin camp to the CRANKY Consoli-
dated Mining and Smelling Co
The American Nitrate Co., an Ore
gon corporation capitalized for $780,
100000, has closed a deal for 40 nj
trate of potash claims on Succor
creek, in eastern Oregon, for 500, 900,
according to reports received from
Boise, Idaho.
While the domestic demands for
copper is far below normal, the need
OF the metal for war munitions for the
belligerent European nations is so
great that American production is
greater than at any previous time in
history, according to statements &C
credited to John d. Ryan of New York,
president of the Amalgamated Copper
company. rs @ffFtfr gffQ IA
Announcement of plans for con-
struction at the Tacoma smelter run
ming into several million dollars,
which will about double the smelling
capacity of the plant and more than
double the refining capacity, with the
erection of four large steel buildings,
large ore bunkers, an immense refin-
cry and nine additional furnaces, has
been made by officials of the Tacoma
Smelling and Refining Co., a Guggen-
helm concern. At the same time
smelter officials announced an in

Alaska produced gold in 1914 to the
value of $15,764,259, an increase of
about $4,000 over the previous year.
In 1914 21,45O,62s pounds of copper
were produced in Alaska, compared
with 21,659,95S pounds in 1913. The
value of Alaska's total mineral pro-
duction for 1914 was $19,11S, 0SO; that
of 1913 was $19,476,356. This decrease
was due to the low price of copper in
1913. 1t is estimated that up to the
close Of 1914 Alaska produced min
erals to total value of $26S, $780, 900,
of which $244, $4,000 represents the
value of the gold output. These sta
tistics are taken from a report by AL

STOCK AND CROP NOTES.

Reports received at Portland from
growers throughout the state indi.
Gated. according to dealers, that the
Oregon hop pick this season would at
least equal the record made in 1906,
when 100000 bales were harvested

ing in order to take care of the prune
crop, Mr.. Lamb figuring that from 100
to $50 carloads will pass through the
warehouse.
A marked improvement in the tone
of the apple market compared with a
year ago is reflected in the fact that
eastern buyers are in the market, and
the North Pacific Fruit Distributors
have on file already two requests for
quotations on orders of $50 cars each,
in addition to many inquiries for quo
tations on smaller carlot shipments,
according to J. Fl. Robbins, general
manager. During the entire season of
1914, he states, no buyer asked quota
tions on even a 20-car lot and few
over 10 cars.

farm HOME IS DE-
STR0YED BY FIRE
Children Walk Mile Barefooted to
the House of the Nearest
Neighbor.

Fort Dodge, March Saturday
night at 1920 o'clock an upper
room of the Jacobson farm house,
ten miles south of town, was found
to be on fire. Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Jacobson had just put their eight
children to bed. Noticing the smell
Of smoke, Mrs. Jacobson went up
stairs to investigate, and found that
through some defect in the chimney
the side wall of one of the bed rooms
had caught fire and had burned
away. The open door created a
draft and spread the flames quickly
through the house. Barefooted and
in their night dresses the children
were hurried out into the snow. Mr..
Jacobson managed to get mattress
for them to stand on. He tried 20
fight the fire with blankets and buck
cts of water When he was dragging a
piece of furniture out of the door the
wind swept great sheet of flame
over him, burning his face, neck,
shoulders and arms. In a few min
utes' time the house was burned
down and the children walked bare
footed through the snow drifts a
mile to a neighboring farm.

DER OF THE WORLD
The Williamson Submarine Motion
Pictures at the Armory
Opera House.

The old list of the seven wonders
of the world must now be revised
and an eighth added to them, The
exploring and photographing of the
bottom of the ocean is doubly a Won
der-a wonder in the achievement
of science and new wonder OF the
world in the marvels discovered I'M
der the sea. This remarkable
achievement was made possible by
the Williamson collapsible subma-
rine tube, through which a photo
grapher can descend far below the
waters surface and from the large
sperical chamber at the bottom Of
the tube, photograph the life of the
under-sea world. The Universal Film
Company will present tonight at
the armory at 1880 and 6 Q. M,
with matinee at the Orpheum at 3
p. M, the Williamson Submarine
Motion Pictures, the first and only
moving pictures of subaqueous life.
The Williamson Brothers went to
the Bahama Islands in the West In
dies to get these pictures, because
of the richness and variety OF the
marine life in that section of the
ocean, and because of the remark
able clearness of the water, permit
ting of brilliant photography. The
film is of the greatest educational
value, is unique and novel, at times
melodramatic, amusing and last Of
all, breathlessly thrilling.
Native Bahamas diving to pick
up coins from the bottom of the sea,
coral reefs with their diversity Of
forms and colors, the skeletons Of
ships wrecked so long ago that even
their names are forgotten and their
frames petritied, deep-sea divers
hunting among the old wrecks for
treasure, the formation of schools OF
fish and their peculiar methods of
swimming through the water, a bat
tie royal between sharks, and last OF
all, a fight to the death between a
man and a mammoth blue shark
these are but a few of the many in
cidents and scenes depicted by this
unique film.
