druing the midnight round had not
exploded but believed he had heard
the discharge, it is stated, and went
to work in the shaft with a machine
drill, The dynamite exploded when
the drill-bit hit the cap. His body
was badly maHgled,
A man in the stope above where
the accident occurred was slightly in

RICH MANGANESE FIND
IN COOKS DISTRICT
Deming, N. M, April lone OF the
most notable discoveries of recent
years in this section of New Mexico
was made about a month ago, when
John j. Hyatt uncovered a large de-
post of manganese ON his ranch north
of Cooks, and although he has not
yet progressed far enough to state
Approximately the amount Of ore in
the body, his researches have shown
him that it is very large and excep-
tionally rich. The only other manga
nese mine in~New Mexico is located
in Dona Ana county.
Mr.. Hyatt has had a number of Of
fers on his mineral, but he has not
yet closed any contracts, as he wishes
to cary on more development work
before he closes any deals. One firm
has asked for 25,000 tons of manga
nese dioxide running so per cent and
better, and for $4,000 tons of the
lower grades. The ore already taken
out and assayed shows a low percent
age of silica and phosphorus and a
high percentage of manganese dioxide
which places it among the best quail
ties, for which there is such an i'm
perative demand. A gang of ten men
is at work on the mine at present, and
this force is likely to be increased
within the next month.
s. COMPANY WILL
OPEN UP NEW LEVEL
Lordsburg. Al. M, April 4.-The So
Mining company is making prepare
tons for the opening UP of a new level
at a depth OF $50 feet from the main
audit level or what viii be known as
the fifth station. A man-way is being
sunk to the right of the proposed
shaft and an pp-raise will be made on
the main shaft to both expedite the
work and lessen costs. When the
work is completed drifting win be
done and ore blocked out below tt
450-foot leevl.
This is some Of the most import
ant mine work being done in the camp
as it will give the IS mine a new
field for exploration at more depth.

LOSS OF APPETITE
Most Successfully Treated by Taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Loss Of appetite is accompanied by
loss Of vitality, which Is serious.
II Is common in the spring because
at this time the blood is impure and
impoverished and fails to give the
digestive organs what is absolutely
necessary for the proper perform
ance OF their functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old reli-
able all-the- -year-round medicine, is
especially useful in the spring. Get
1t from your druggist today. By
purifying and enriching the blood
and giving vitality. vigor and tone,
1t is wonderfully successful in the
treatment of loss OF appetite and the
other ailments prevalent at this time.
1t is not simply a spring medicine--it
is much more than that-but IL is the
best spring medicine.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the rich
red blood the digestive organs need.

OUR INTERESTS ARE WITH
PORTLAND

~ ASTERN Oregon is not
" materially interested in
the development of this
port or that port, but we are
interested in any opportunity
for a reduction of freight rates.
Therefore this section will
eagerly watch developments in
the common point rate issue to
see what the future has in
storee. Meanwhile the East
Oregonian will venture the
prophecy that in due time
Portland will have a lower
rate than either the sound cit
les or Astoria.
This prediction is based on
the idea that the governing
principle with reference to
rates must ultimately be the
cost of service. 1t is natural
law and it is justice. 1t is a
principle the commerce COM
mission has been recognizing
more and more. 1t was on the
strength Of this basic principle
that the commission was asked
to give a common point rate to
Astoria. 1t is but fair the same
yardstick should be used in de-
termining the rate to Portland
end if so then reduction must
be made so as to give Portland
the true fruits Of its geograph'
ical position.
Of course even should Port
land secure lower rates from
the interior, Astoria woulC
have the advantage Of a cheap
er ocean haul through being
saved the 100 mile river trip
However, it may be expected
that Astoria's advantage il
that respect will not equal thu
margin deserved by Portland
on the haul from the interior
70 argue otherwise would b.
to assume that freight ma!
be hauled by rail from Port
land to Astoria cheaper thai
it can be taken down strean
aboard an ocean ship.
Any such assumption woul,
be absurd. Therefore it ma,
be seen that if this matter is T.
be worked out upon the mer
its of the case, the cost Of ser
vice being the governing prin
ciple, Portland viii obtain
lower rate than the sound cit
les or Astoria.
Until such a decision can b.
obtained from the interstat
commerce commission it
probable Portland can protec
her interests through use Q
boats on the Columbia or b,
obtaining lower intrastat
rate from the O.-W. K. & n.
Whatever the procedur
may be it is certain Portland
going to make a mighty effor
for a lower grain rate than
now given any northwest cit
and it will be logical for in
land empire people, being in
terested in lower rates, TO SUP
port them in their campaign
