TAKES A NEW POWER SITE Manager Ray Seems Intent Upon Controlling the Entire Power Situation. REPORT THAT DREDCER WILL USE ELECTRICITY Last Site Has Much Creator Pos sibilities Than Completed Plant at Gold Ray. Qold H1U, Or.. Do. U. That the Con dor Water Power company Intends to dominate this industrial field In tba power business la apparent from devel opments. The arrangement, completed while Col. Frank Ray was here, for ab sorbing the northern California plant, suggested the acopa of work projected to the south; offers to light Grants Pass, Indicated the purpose of the manage ment to reach that territory, and the re ported purchase the past week of the 1(111 creek site on Rogue river proves that Dr. Ray does not Intend to leave open any inviting propositions for pos sible competitors. Tha Mill creek site Is at the Junction of Mill creek and Rogue river, where the former makes a sheer drop of 186 feet. and Rogue river descends a greater dis tance in less than 1.000 feet. The her mit owner of this property has spent a good portion of his life In the herculean work of diverting Rogue river through a canal that would cause it to drop over Into the Mill canyon, putting the two streams together for a plunge of nearly 200 feet. In view of the fact that the Condor company haa a drop of but 20 feet at the present plant, with estimated available energy of 8,000 to 10,000 horse power, the possibilities of-the sits re ported to have been purchased are quickly appreciated. The line to the Opp mine Is delivering electrical energy from the Condor plant, and It Is reported that the Champlln dredge management has entered Into a contract for power to run the machinery of the big boat. Its steam plant has a capacity of 210 horse power, and the re quirements of the dredger are probably close to this figure. As lighting con tracts are being made. It Is believed that the company will soon supply the entire valley. MINERS THINK A MILL BEST FOR EXHIBITS Diligent inquiry is being made among all the mining men of the state to ascer tain if they will pledge sufficient tare for the working exhibit promised by the Colorado Iron A Fuel company. At the same time the management of the big manufacturing concern haa been asked for further parirulars as to the classes of ores wanted for the smelting exhibit. and also for the milling project, should the latter be determined upon Instead of a Batfl 1rJTT . - Mining men would like to see a small smelter In operation at the fair grounds. if possible, but unless the Colorado com pany will give assurance of a very positive nature that this is feasible, they will feel that tha work of getting ore here Involves serious difficulties. The ores for successful fusion and reason able saving would have to be chosen by a smelter expert, and could not be ac cepted or collected In a miscellaneous manner. If the siliceous predominated too heavily, which Is the rule In most Oregon ores, smelting would be imprac ticable, gnd the men contributing would loae their product. St. Helena district hss a quantity of copper available for a copper matting: plant, and southern Oregon Is making small shipments of ore and concentrates at Intervals. East ern Oregon is tied up with contracts to the aumpter smelter, which needs all ore avallnhla there, and perhaps could not relinquish much of its tonnage. An amalgamating and concentrating plant appeals to mining men as far more practicable, and perhaps has ss strong drawing powers for the throng of vis itors, a complete stamp mill in com mission, showing the ore under the usual course of treatment, would be very attractive to all visitors, Including the cltlsens of this state, many of whom are not familiar with gold ore milling. Until the management of the Colorado company gives further particulars of what It can do in regard to smelting, local mining men will proceed on the .'sumption that the exhibit will be a mill. to pay about 14 a share on the entire stock of the former. Besides Boston and Montana, tha big holding company haa the control In many other good companies of the Butte and Anaconda district. Estimating the work of tha Washoe smelter, the product of the Par rot t. Anaconda and other mines. I be lieve It is fair to state that Amalga mated will easily pay f 8 to f this year. Should copper go above 16 cents, and with the enormous Japanese and Chinese market drawing from the coast, I see no reason why It should not, Amalga mated's dividend would be increased materially. "The copper trust of Montana haa soma splendid " properties) -which will produce richly for yeara. It cannot be disputed that tha Rockefeller crowd per petrated a gigantic swindle when they floated Amalgamated, and Laweon has dona a national service In exposing some of the details, but he cannot get around the fact that the concern haa good properties, which will pay well when properly operated Amalgamated stock, in my estimation, will rise after the low point of depression last week, even though the Rockefeller crowd does not enter the market for tremendous purchases." GOLDEN CHARIOT HAS SECURED A NEW HOIST C. H. Peterson, loesi manager of the Union Investment company, states that his partner, L. V. Swlggett, at Bumptet, haa notified him of the purchase of the Golden wizard plant for the Qolden Chariot property. Mr. Swlggett sus pended work in the Chariot at the 100 level, owing to a heavy flow of water, and arranged for the purchase of hoist and pumps. The entire Qolden Wlxard plant, consisting of hoist, steam plant, pumps and mill, was on the market, and being near the Qolden Chariot, was taken as the best bargain to be had. There are two strong sinker pumps, two large boilers, a hoist capable of sinking to a depth of 1.000 feet, and three batteries of Merrall's rapid drop stamps. Developments In this property, which Is in the suburbs of Bumpter, was a sensation of the upper country. At the very surface there was three or four feet of shipping ore. At the 36 level a crosscut was run from the vertical shaft, and Mr. Swlggett said he found 12 feet of high average rock, some of which was good shipping. The 100 crosscut had just been commenced when a terrific volume of water burst from what seemed to be the wall of ths vein, drowning the balling plant. If the vein Is ss strong at the 100 as at the 85 and surface, the management feels that there Is enough In sight to start up a small mill while development is progressing. HIGHLAND'S OUTPUT WELL MAINTAINED " (Special Dispatch to Tha Journal ) Humntcr. Or.. Dec. 12. -Ore shipments from the Highland mine, operated by N. J. Sorenson & Co.. continue at the rate of 160 to 10 tons a week. The Bannock burn drift haa attained a length of about 900 feet, where the depth Is more more than 400 feet, and all ore opened here Indicates a large reserve. Excep tionally high values have been found In some of the latest work dona In the drlft.awhere ore shoots come in quickly after they go out, and seem to have greater strength than where the work was nearer the surface.

The annual report of John Hays Ham mond, made to the stockholders of Stratton's Independence Co., has Just been made public. The fiscal year cov ered by the report ended July 21. Mr. Hammond stated that there 'had been a loas In mining for the period, that pump ing had been stopped, and that the de velopment work prosecuted on extensive scale below the 800 level had been unsat isfactory The average value of ore handled during the year wss but little above tl. a decrease of 12 from the average of the preceding year. No new ore bodies were opened, all ore handled having been taken from old atopea and ground that had been worked hastily. The effect of this broad statement is that the famous ore shoot has been lost to the Stratton property, and thst the Portland company will profit by Its pitch ing Into thslr ground at depth. Since leasing was adopted, there has been a profit to the company, which is steadily growing as work progresses. T B: U MOT. Dr. Schuman, with headquarters here at present.
