Ia the Opinion of Alt The youngest property'of the Quartzhurg is perliuj , '.M most brilliant. It ia known as the Dixie McailiwH, because of the location near the mcadowi of that' name, and is owned by tlx Pixie Meadows Gold Minini Company. Some of Crook county' citizens ire among the heaviest stockholder! and much of the profit accruing from this excellent property will revert to our county. Development of the Dixie Mead ows is a record oi perseverance, intelligence and faith. Nearly three years ago three prospectors located it. They are now among the largest holders of Dixie Mead ows stock, and will be among thore to profit in the rich return! the prorty now promises to it owners. They found a cropping near the summit between Dixie and Ruby Creeks. Exploration of thin indi cated a good vein. Tunnels driven, surface cuts made, traced the vein across the divide. On the Ruby creek side a better place foi work was chosen. Here a crosscut 270 feet long was made, reaching the vein at a depth of from 150 to 180 feet. It was found that the vein there was very strong. Drifts were started to the north and the south, these having attained a length now of about 380 feet. In the south drift the finest body of pre yet opened in the Quartzburg was ex posed, bringing the Dixie Meadows up to the rank of the great mines of the district. In the drive nearly 200 feet in that direction the ore shoot has been continuous, and in places fully 11 and 12 feet wide. On the footwall of the vein a streak of dark sulphide ore, heavy with iron, is quite persistent, attaining a width of 18 inches and two feet at places, and assaying up to $300 and '400 per ton. The main ore body is a much lighter quartz, and values are thoroughly distributed through it in sulphide form, The grade ot this rock U pronounced by all who have examined it a fine milling proposition. The drift to the south has passed beyond the large ore shoot, but is entering a lone indicating that another high grade shoot is coming in. There the vein is wider than average to the north, and shows greater oxidation. The face is in gangue oi a varied nature and in which a marvelously rich bunch of ore was found recently. The little feeders crossing the gangue are evidently making for another shoot, and it it ia to be forcasted from the rich bunch opened, will prove a wonder. One hundred feet deeper a second orosscut has been driven, this being the working adit. A drive of about 400 feet reached the vein, and drifts are being extended to the south at the present time. Althou gh this work is not under the ore opened in the upper workings, the face ot the drift is in fine ore, in dicating that the shoot proven above pitches to the south, or ex pands greatly with depth. The company owns six full claims in length along this lode, having proven their fissures by numerous cuts and tunnels. With 9,000 feet on the same lode, and four parallel claims, besides valu able timber holdings and an ad mirable location, the Dixie com pnny is in condition to oierate ( great mine, which is the gangue of the work now being done. A sawmill with a capacity of 8,000 feet per day has been constructed, large bunk and boarding houses and office and other buildings have been erected, roads graded, excava tion made for the 100-ton concent rating mill, and other arrange ments completed for early reduction ot the ores being developed in such large quantity. R. C. Reese is superintendent of the mine and one of the owners. Three families own most of the stock, being the Blknais, Dotsons and Knights. They were represent ed in the first location and develop ment work, and have held to their interest till it became a big mine. Tate Waraar feraei izeeerve. Washiiwiton, Aug. 1. The com missioner of the General Land Of fice today ordered withdrawn from land entry 2,800,000 acres of land in Oregon for the creation of the Warner Mountain Forest Reserve.

The motion for a new trial in the breach of promise suit by Birdie McCarthy, the Lake county school teacher, against Jag. D. Heryford lias been argued before U. S, Dis trict Judge Bellinger'! court in Portland. The motion is based upon an affidavit ot Mrs. Fitch, the proprietress of a lodging house at Bly, who denies Miss McCarthy's statement that she and Heryford stayed at the house and had oc cupied a single room. Mrs. Fitch declares that the statement is false and also (ails to agree with some other portions ot Miss McCarthy's evidence. tmmbm Al fair tireaaaa. The State Board ot Agriculture are making a number of needed improvements it the state fair grounds this year. A new water system costing $5000 is being put in which will add much comfort to the exhibitors and Campari. More new stalls are being built to better accommodate the large number of exhibitors that are pre paring to come to the fair. A large ampitheater is being built, where visitors can be seated and witness the live stock judging under cover. Many minor im provements are being made on the grounds, and everything is being done to make a visit to the fair a pleasant event and joy forever. Crap pari. The weather hai been very favor able for filling and ripening grain. The headB are of good size and the berry is plump, but iut stand is thin, and consequently the yields are falling below the average. The grain harvest has become general in the Columbia river valley and in southern sections, and well started in the Willamette valley. Oate promise better yields than either wheat or barley. The cloudy weather during the lore part of the week caused lice to increase in the hop yards, and some spraving has been done, Hops continue thrifty and no serious damage from vermin has vet occurred. The crop is not so far advanced as usual at this season of the year, and some fears are entertained that it will not mature before the tall rains begin. Pendleton Ore., July 24. The gale of horses from Eastern Oregon is increasing daily. It ia reported in railroad circles that W. H. Babb, of Echo, a station a short distance west of here, will in two or three days ship from 30 to 50 carloads of horses from that point. They will be sent to Canada, in the vicinity of Alberta. It is given out by the horsemen of the country that ex ceptionally good prices prevail there at the present time. Never in the history of this coun try were so many horses shipped north. It is due to the rapid set tling up ot that country. Mr Babb ia not alone in bis shipments, for a number of other horsemen are shipping to the same place. A great many of the horses are com ing from the interior, especially from the John Day country. At present the northwest ia the liest market lor Oregon horse.

The residents ot the little hamlet of Deschutes have been treated to several nightly concerts during the past week by a panther. Some one baa figured out that tin way to be miserable is to keep thinking about yourself and what you want and are missing. The Postoffice investigation is progressing very nicely, lhe Postmaster General, by the way, is cruising about the Atlantic. It is suspected that the officers and crew of the Kearsarge will all have to go into training to recover from the effects of Anglo-Saxon hospitality. For fierce warrior man with a double edged tongue Kaiser Wil helm has fewer actual combats ' at arms than any great conqtierer of modern times. That was a pretty cheeky thing for this country to undertake to regulate the internal affairs of Rus sia, and the Czar was fully justified in treating the suggestion some what cavalierly. Nearly 100,000 Bibles and Testa- mentP, in 40 language' including those in raised characters for the blind, were distributed by -the Pennsylvania Bible society in the state of Pennsylvania last year.

' The son will probably be large enough to be Grover's private sec retary when he gets his third term Sir Thomas Lipton is quoted as saying recently that if he succeeds in raising the cup, he'll marry an American girl. Judging Irom past events the latter will be a much easier mark for his lordship than the former. Merrill, of Tracey and Merrill fame, is now reported alive. The body found and supposed to be that of Merrill is said to be that of one their victims. The story is vauched for by Gale and Borclay, ex-convicts. The Kaiser ia on terms of friend ship with Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Perhaps Mr. anderblit cannot drink as much beer as William can, but it is a good deal of satis faction to the American eagle to know that he can pay for as much.

Two dead and over 100 injured is the result of an accident that happened in Portland last Friday, A crowd that had been attracted to the Morrison street bridge towatcli a swimming performance proved too heavy for the frail stringers forming the walk upon which they were standing, and it broke pre cipitating several hundred into the Willamette. The prize lazy man of Martins burg, Mr., "got busy" recently and wrote this paragraph for a local paper: "How much nicer it ii to lit in a carriage and think how much nicer it is to lit in a carrage than it ia to walk, than It is to walk and think how much nicer it ia to sit in a carriage than it is to walk." Silver Lake it is laid, possesses the distinction of being farthermt away from a railroad of any post office in the United State. While this may or may not be true, saya the Bend Bulletin, Silver Lake is 180 miles from Shaniko by the mail route, and about 225 from Termo. From the nearest South ern Pacific station to Silver Lake it is easily 250 miles ind from Ashland via Lakeview, the mail route is not less than 400. While Mrs. Carrie Nation was buying a railroad ticket at Mc- Keesport, Pa., recently the agent was smoking a "stogie." She re sented this and gave him a lecture to the effect that bis body became impure as a result and he would not be fitted to enter heaven. While she was lecturing the ticket seller a gang of men decorated her luggage with whiskey labels. She discovered it and tried to scrape them off, but had to hurry aboad the train, a walking advertisement for prominent brands ot rye. the Anne THoim.ca. Grew Kara fr.aa.al Aa AraM draws Saerler. Reports ot range troubles throughout Eastern Oregon are numerous, quite a number of sheepmen reporting losses of aup- plies ind camp outfit, whila a report comes from near Prairie City of a case of poisoning in which two owners suffered a loss of about 100 sheep. , The situation ii critical, and the Grant County News itrikes the keynote of truth when it say that "the causes of these troubles lie too deep for any man to remove, and that the troubles can be abated only by putting an end to the mas sing of outside herds, where the owners have no interest in the soil but to fleece it of its most valuable product. Where the legal right aa well as the natural right is repeatedly violated." Take for instance the case that happened only a few days ago at Big Summit Prairie, in the Eastern part of the county. A Wheeler county band of sheep owned by men who had made lines with the cattlemen of that section, which lines were at the time too small, they allowing the cattlemen a strip of only one mile, adjoining this deeded land, violated their agreement by tres passing the lines established by themselves. If these outside poachers do not respect lines dic tated and made by themselves. hat can they expect in return. It is pleasing to note that the federal government has recognized the range troubles and the evils leading thereto, and has especially referred to the good effects result- ng from the establishing of "dead lines." There isn't a fair minded man, cattle or sheepman that he be, hut deplores the many unwarranted actions of these outside "parties, and a settlement conducted within the lines of peace would be welcom ed by them. While the question is not ot enough national import ance perhaps to allow of the gov ernment taking action, still we sincerely wish they would do m, and settle once for all the trouble that haB hung fire for so long, and that may result more or less seriously for the friction will continue to increase, as the grass grows less. Certain it ia that the outside sheepmen in the face of this latter tact do not make any attempt to decrease their herds, hut instead continue to force their way upon range that docs not belong to them either by agree ment nor legal nor natural right.
