Mining Syndicate to
Dredge River for Gold

EVERETT.-H. A. Gibbon, serving
rs treasurer for syndicate of Everett
and Seattle men, announced here that
he had acquired eleven leases to gold
and platinum properties at Princeton,
B. c., on the Similkameen River, 65
miles north of Oroville, Okanogan
County. Seattle capitalists are to
back a project calling for the dredg.
ing OF the river to remove 5000 cubic
yards Of gravel day after June l.
The gravel is said to assay from 50 to
SIS in gold and platinum. The prop
critics are shown TO contain 30OO0,O OO
cubic yards of gravel.

indicate was found in the case of all
ores assayed, the report stated. Sc
lected specimens in which the gold
was readily visible to the naked eye
were found to contain only nineteen
hundredths of an ounce of gold and
four-tenths Of an ounce of silver per
ton This low gold content is ex-
planned by the occurrence of the
precious metal in exceedingly thin
flakes on the fracture planes but not
uniformly throughout the entire ore.
The material assayed does not have
as large gold content as some speci
mems that have been produced from
the Slate Creek deposit but it does
equal if not exceed the average con-
tent of the ore taken from the most
highly minerahzed zone of the de-
post.
"The Slate Greek gold deposit has
been explored by trenches and pits,
none of which exceed ten feet in
| depth" says the report "This small
amount Of exploratory work neither
proves nor disproves the commercial
Importance Of the discovery. A de-
velopment company has been organ
lied to explore the deposit by tunnel
ling but active operations have not
yet been started.
1T is very probable that the zone
of relatively intense naturalization
exists about the intersection of the
two main quartz veins. The region
of this intersection, which has not
been prospected, should receive care
full attention during the progress of
the development program. In view Of
the deceptive appearance of the ore it
will be necessary throughout the ex-
ploratory work to guard diligently
against an overly optimistic concep-
tion Of the value of the deposit by
careful routine sampling and assay
! ing"

GEoLoGIsT REPORTS ON COLD FIND

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow.
Some basis in fact for the recent
"Slate Creek" gold rush in which
hundreds of mining men and pros
pectors participated has been been
found by Arthur M. Piper, geologist
Of the Idaho Bureau of Mines and
Geology, according to his report to
DR.. Francis A. Thomson, secretary
Of the bureau. The area where the
gold-bearing quartz was discovered is
located on the divide between Slate
and John Day creeks IS miles south
Of Grangeville and 20 miles north Of
higgins.
The gold deposit, according to the
report, accompanies two intersecting
quartz veins, one of them 10 to 20
feet in width extending northward,
the other approximately 40 feet wide
and extending northeastward. The
deposit has not been developed be-
low the surface zone of oxidation so
most of the metallic minerals are in
the form of oxides.
Native gold occurs as small flakes
in fractures Of the vein quartz" says
the report. "Under the microscope
these flakes are seen to be infinitely
thin plates. 1t is characteristic Of
the Slate Creek ores examined that
the gold is invariably accompanied by
tn echromium mineral. Gold is not
known to occur with the oxides of
iron and of manganese except where
these oxides are mingled with the
unmistakable chromium mineral
However, gold does occur with the
chromium mineral unaccompanied by
the metallic oxides. This association
of gold with chromium mineral is
believed to be unique among lodes
of gold-bearing quartz"

Inc washington potato crop Sltua-
ton Is very interesting to growers.
While exceptional weather has en-
abled producers to harvest their crop
without loss, the yield is not nearly
so great as anticipated. In the dry
land sections drought, diseases, and
pests combined to greatly reduce the
crop. Western Washington fields
have also been affected.
The potato crop for the state is
about the same as last year, and will
be around 6,712,OOO bushels compared
with the crop Of 8,OS3,OOO bushels as
a five year average. For two years
potato production in Washington has
been under average. The per capita
consumption is about 31a bushels for
the nation, while this year there are
but three bushels available.
The prices are in keeping with the
short crop and sales of from $500
to $4,000 per ton are common. At
this price farmers with fair yields
find the crop profitable one. High
prices may induce farmers to plant
a larger acreage in 1926, and may
result in a surplus in 1926
Dairy.
A firm demand, lowered storage
supply and continued good consump-
tive movement ne oil b;oh oroda hut
ter gives the dairymen the feeling Of
confidence that the fall and the COM
ing year will atone for the off year
Of 1924. Prices have steadily climbed
until the present monthly prices for
butter are from 10 to II cents higher
than paid year ago. This is due to
several causes, among them are:
First-The low prices of last year
discouraged many producers who en-
tered the industry when prices Of
farm commodities were low. Second:
Continued increased consumption Of
dairy products. Third: Better Eur
opean situation, and Fourth: The re-
turn OF higher prices for farm cereals
and other products has halted the
expansion of the dairy industry.
Cheaper feed for fall delivery will
help make higher profits for dairy
men. Farmers producing feed have
much better crops than last year, and
are in much stronger position.
While there is some talk of short
age OF dairy products, such a short
age is not likely to appear.
Poultry
Egg prices advanced early and have
been maintained. Some movement
out OF storage was reported early in
October. Early Matched, well devel-
| oped pullets of high egg producing
strains are now laying heavily, and
the eggs are sold at high prices, al
though 1t is not believed that the peak
of the prices has been reached.
| Late Matched birds are not yet In
full production. With good egg prices,
and with feed costing less than last
year, poultrymen are optimistic over
the outlook. While production Is a
little heavier the last year, consump.
ton is increasing.

Washingtons splendid apple crop
is moving to market rapidly. On Sep.

cars OF apples were recently shipped
from different points in the state,
packed in baskets under combina-
ton grade in place of boxes. 1t will
be interesting to watch the returns
on this departure. By.products plants
are now in full operation processing
the lower grade Of fruit to be used
largely for export trade. The con-
sumption of apples In the United
States was 1872 boxes per capita
in 1922.
Sheep
There has been q general eXpan-
sion in sheep during the past three
years although held In check by range
limitations. Farmers seldom make
money by going into sheep when they
are at their peak and selling out when
they are low. The farmers who carry
about the same number from year
to year, utilizing wastes and some
cheap pastures, make the most profit.
The 1926 clip In the United States
is estimated to be 11,350,000 pounds
greater than in 1924. Lamb consump-
tion is lowered during periods Of
higher prices. In 1912 nearly 8
pounds of lamb per capita was con.
sumed in United States, while in
1924 this was reduced to slightly over
pounds per capita, due to increased
prices.
Wheat
While Washington farmers signl-
fled their intentions to plant go more
fall wheat than last year, only those
farmers who plowed early and main
tanned fairly clean summer fallow have
been able to seed as early as desired.
On account of the lack Of rain, the
copper carbonate treatment Is especi.
ally desirable this fall when early fall
paintings were necessarily seeded In
the dust.
Wheat farmers are paying off many
debts and are generally In better
shape than at any time during the
past five years.

STATE LEGISLATURE SENDS BANKER
RECLAMATION BILL TO GOVERNOR

OLYMPIA.-In a dramatic climax,
after several hours of consideration
of the house bill 56-the Banker rec
lamatiOn measure-the state senate
last week passed the bill by the de-
cisive vote Of 30 to 9, with three men,
bers absent. The legislation, over
which bitter battle has ragged, places
the reclamation affairs of the state In
the department of the state land COM
missioner.
Supporters of reclamation in the
legislature were confident that Gov
Hartley cannot muster enough
strength in either house to uphold a
veto on the bill.
The vote came after Senator D. v.
Morthland, of Yakima, had branded
the Hartley administration as in
capable of leadership, in his speech,
which struck legislators with it's
forcefulness.
"The tragedy in politics to day is
that we must acknowledge that the
state administration is wholly without
capacity for leadership and that it IL
time for the legislators to take the
affairs Of the state into their own
hands. There is no other course If
we are to have any constructive pro-
gram in this state" said Senator
Morthland
This singing indictment of the
Hartley administration was the peak
of Morthland's speech. He spoke
gently and with smile on his face,
but lawmakers remarked that ut was
the force Of pugilist's blow back
of It,"
We've all been thinking the same
thing. Why not say it? Morthland had
the courage" said Representative
M. M. Moulton, following Morthland's
verdict on the state administration
and the favorable vote of the senate
on reclamation.
Not only is this the third defeat
tide governor has suffered at the
hands Of the legislature in the recla-
nation fight, but 1t is the first time
that any legislator has openly criti-
cized the state administration.
The surprise of the final ballot was
Sen. p. H. Carylon of Thurston vot-
ing against the bill and Sen. William
Wray of Seattle voting for the bill.
Wray was considered an administers
ton man.
The final vote was:
For the reclamation bill-Senators
Barclay, Bishop, Cleary, Condor,
Conyard, Davis, Croft, Hall, Harrison,
Hastings, Hurn, Jacobsen, Karshner,
Kirkman, Landon, McCauley, Metcalf,
Morgan, Morthland, Murphy, Myers,
Oman Post, Shaw, Smith, Somerville,
Sutton, Westfall, Wilmer and Wray.
Against the bill-Senators Carlyon,
Conner, Grass, Houser, Lunn, Nor
man, Palmer, st. Peter and Smart.
Absent-S enators Christensen,
Barnes and Morris, who were excused
by the president of the senate.
The bill was Immediately sent back
to the house on the motion of Sen.
Guy B. Croft, and from there went to
the governor for his action. A veto
means that it must be passed by two
thirds of each house before 1t can be-
come a law. If he does not sign the
bill or veto it at the end of 10 days,
it automatically becomes law.

STATE SCHOOLS
WIN FIRST ROUND

Higher educational institutions of
the state won the first round Of their
battle for appropriations on the mill
age basis when the senate committee
on educational institutions last week
voted to allow the University Of
Washington and the three normal
schools the millage recommended by
the state board of higher curricula
The state college at Pullman was
given an increase from .S51, as rec
commended by the board, to 90 This
increase was allowed because Presi-
dent 3. o. Holland, of the Washing
ton State College, claimed that he
had only figured the millage for one
year, while 1t should have been for
four years.
The vote on the normal institution
millage was unanimous. The increase
for the Washington State College,
however, caused split in the COM
mittee and there will be minority
report on the University of Washing
ton and State College, signed by Sen
ators Wilmer, Carlyon, Oman, Lam
don and Conyard. The majority re-
port was signed by Senator Sutton,
chairman, and Senators Cleary,
Karshner, Palmer, McCauley and
Comerville.
The millages allowed, and which
provide for the financial operation Of
the institutions for the next four
years, were:
The University of Washington, 1.52:
State College, 90; Ellensburg Normal,
.16; Bellingham Normal, .26; Cheney
Normal, 20.
This is a decided victory for the
higher institutions as Governor Hart
ley in his message recommended the
abolition of all millage assessments
for the University.
