LOCATES QCARTZ MINE. .
Long Ledjo or Pay Dirt From F.laca
Plat to Sit. Emily, Say Miners.
That quarta and placer mining miy
be followed along a continuous ledge
of gold ore from Black Flat below Hil
Sard to the peak of Mt. Emily Is Ihe
supposition now held by miners who
are 'rapidly qrifting Into the moun
tains doing prospect work. Several
are prospecting on Mt. Emily, though
most of them are spending their time
In the mountains between the two
points mentioned.
Albert Clay has been doing consid
erable work In that region- and he
finds excellent prospects.- That the
Mt. Emily region Is rich in ore, la the
belief of the ''many prospectors now
working on the surface. No report
has been received of development
work, though several are promised in
the near future. Rock carrying the
yellow lucre was exhibited by Clay
this morning and he has gone out to
locate a qu,arU mine which he thinka
Is especially rich., There is no ques
tion but what some development work
will be done In that region of the Blue
mountains In tho near future.
, THE LAST TRIP. .
After Today Elgin Will Not Be Ter-
minal for the Branch Train.
After about 20 years of practically
continuous service, during which time
many engines have come and gone,
many conductors and many engineer.
have been shifted to and off the run,
me Elgin train made its last run to
Elgin today. After today it will not
have Elgin as its terminal but will
continue on to Wallowa town, as the
passenger schedule goes Into effoct
Monday morning.
The last, trip of the Elgin train
marks a new period In eastern Ore
gon development. When, about 20
years ago, the train made its first
trip over the branch road, La Grande
and Union county thought develop
ment had reached a high stage, but
now eastern Oregon laughs at an El
gin train-service and await, the day,
in the near future, when the service
will be continued on to Joseph, the
extreme point In Wallowa county.

EXPIXT COAL BOOX.
Alleviation of Strike Trouble. Brings
Added Hope Here.
The temporary lull In coal move
ment I. expected to disappear In the
near ruiure ana local o. it. N. mo
tlve power will again be released with
out hindrance. Railroad business has
been reduced to the minimum during'
the gloomy aspect which the coal sit
uation had. Though there Is no relief
yet. the newspaper dispatches from
Wyoming have given additional con
fidence and officials of the O. R. ft N.
expect to see coal moving again In
less than two weeks. The present
commercial supply will not hold out
that long but the splendid weather has
made It pomlble for consumer, to do
without the fuel.
