EIOH STRIKE MADE IN
MOUNT STERLING COUNTRY
George Slater and Hugh .TolieU, two
prospectors, who have been prospect
ing in the Mount Sterling country for
the past two months, bring the news,
of a rich strike they have made in
that district. The same old story, of
their becoming discouraged nnd about
to leave the hunt for ledges, and then
stumbling upon a fortune, seems to have
repeated itself in this case. They bad
worked faithfully for eight weeks upon
a trace they find cut, and when about
300 yards from the top of Mt. Stirling
between the headwaterrs of Deer and
Soda creeks and above the Brown and
Angle pocket, they run onto the crop
pings of a large ledge, the quartz pro
truding two feet or more above the
ground. The rock prospected in pure
gold in encouraging quantities and they
immediately sunk a shaft or prospect
hole six feet and uncovered a quartz
ledge seven feet in width and a pay
streak of ore about six inches in width
running in the quartz. In this depth
they took out specimen rock, rock that
glistened with gold, to the amount of
3000 worth. One specimen, Mr. Sinter
exhibited nt the Bell house, in Talent.
laBt Saturday, about the size of an
English walnut, carried $7 or $S in
gold.
The Brown nnd Anglo pocket be
low them produced an immense for
tune a few years ago, and it is prob
able that this new find will equal this
famous property.
Messrs. Slater nnd .Tones are now
preparing to return to their discovery
and will do further development work
until winter weather drives them out.

KLAMATH I'ALLS, Or., Oct. 10.
The appointment of C. F. Stone as conn
sel for the city is believed to be tin
first step in a movement by the conn
cil looking toward the bonding of the
city for t lie purpose of purchasing a
w ater system and I he building of a
sewerage system for the city of Klam
ath Falls. '
Councilman Sanderson of tho Third
ward stated that the members of the
council were prnct ically agreed that
the time had arrived to do dotnething
fnr the improvement of the city, nnd
that in his opinion it would be tieces
sarv to issue hntuls to rover the pre
ent indebtedness and either purchase or
put in a water system. The city will
have to be bunded sooner or later and
Mr. Sandeison believes that it is cheap
it lo commence now than to wait an
other year or so. (
M r. ' Mu nchain and nt her members
of the council have expressed them
