 in sinking, the property IS attracting
 more interest than ordinarily follows
 movement of this character.
 It is now the belief of disinterested and experienced mining men, who are thoroughly conversant with the geol

Development up to Tuesday afternoon shows a continual tion of ore bodies encountered at a depth of S5 feet, the point where the rich and large ore body was hit, and from which remarkable showing the property attained its splendid rating. In the left hand corner of the shaft, that being the point where the rich ore would naturally occur on the dip, that is southwesterly, large masses of are encountered and ex- pOSSu- I HIS NOulQ lllulCdlc IHdI DIE ger and richer ore conditions will be encountered with vertical sinking. Mining men capable to speak and competent to judge. express the un- qualified opinion that the Prieta IS going down, and there is not the slightest reason to doubt but that ore conditions will improve with depth.

 a few days ago, preliminary matters were considered, in which a modern equipment was decided upon, com sisting of an air compressor, new hoist, and the erection of several new buildings.

The county is making repairs to the old roadway, leading to a point near the camp, and the freignting contract has been awarded. Kirkland will be the supply point.

 These well known mining operator:
 stated yesterday that the report oi

With Mir. Kunselman, l feel very much pleased in becoming associated with the Russian"
 MT. Williams stated his observa- tions of geological conditions were decidsdly favorable for making heavy producer. and it was his belief, also. that the belt in which s located the Russian group, in reality S the mother lode of that district. Its near association to the main work ngs of the Congress, less than half nile distant. is indicative of a favor Ible condition, and his report accord nglY was based on these essential grounds.
 The new Russian operators also tate that sample cut from the bot om of the 300-foot shaft gave values rom the ten-foot ore body of high rade gold ore, as well as over 100 unces in silver to the ton.
 The property has been active at in ervals for several years. making ship rents occasionally to defray operat- ig expenses.

island life of which she will write
later. Numerous articles by her have
already appeared in The Oregonian.

Many people believe it costs at
least $40 day to live here says Mrs.
Doolittle, and many do not realize
what an admirable summer resort .Ha-

prospective tourists. There is great

Alleged lmpersonation Of U. S.

The fact that the plan Of federal
officials to arrest prominent local
Chinese, said to be at the head OF an
opium ring, failed to materialize al
though SIX tins of drug actually were
sold 10 the Chinese, has no bearing
whatever on the prosecution OF Ned
Wilder on a charge of impersonating
a government official, Assistant Z. s.
Attorney s. B. Kemp declared today.
The search Of the house Of the
Chinese occurred about month and
a half. before Information reached this
office that Wilder was posing as a
secret service agent from Washing.
tom Kemp says. "It is on this in
formation that he is now being prose
cuted. The failure Of the raid had
absolutely nothing to do with the be-
ginning Of this prosecution"
Kemp denies that he has ever writ
ten a letter to Wider. The only
thing / did" he says, was to draw
up paper to the effect that If a GER
tain Chinese, charged with having
opium in. his possession, was convict
ed, Wider, as fnformer, would be en-
titled to half the fine. /"
Information has come. to the dis

Wider to one Of two Chinese ar
rested In the case in which Wider
was informer, with the promise that
