EARLY DAY DESCRIPTION OFTHE MALHEUR COUNTRY FROM OLD CLIPPING (Continued from Page Seven) box and brought to the Willamette valley. In 1849 came the California gold excitment, and among the men who rushed there were many of those who came through the Malheur coun try in 1843. When they came to han dle the California nuggets they con clubed they were of the same stuff they had found in the Malheur coun try. Returning to Oregon they discov ered some pieces of the Malheur metal in the old wagonbox. The place where the metal had been found was named the Hluc Bucket Diggings On account a of a blue bucket having been left behind there when the emi grants broke camp. It is said that some of these same men and their sons have been back to hunt the gold en locality, but never succeeded in finding it. This story may be taken as true or not, according to the credul ity of the reader. But certain it is that more than one bucket of gold has been taken out of Canyon City, just over the range, and also at Mal heur City, to the northeast of tho agency. Placer and quartz indications are plentiful in dlffefcnt parts of the reservation, and it does not take n Frieburger to discover them. Coal will also be found, probably near Iron sides mountain, and also further cast near the main ' Malheur. Near the agency is a deposit of what might be called Missouri paint. The Indian)) worked this' mine, and with the output they painted upon their faces as good pictures of Mount Hood as some ama teurs put upon canvas. To Go To Malheur. Imagine yourself at The Dalles.

On up the John Day river, past Prairie City; more placer mining;' fifteeti miles more and you come to the Warm Springs ranch; you will find several of these warm springs in the Malheur country, and they are c6nvenient things to have in any country. From these springs you find An Excellent Wagon Road Through the timber. On the summit of the mountains it forks, the left hand turn taking you to Malheur City, the right hand to the agency, from which, point you can find wagon roads running off in several directions. From The Dalles to Malheur agency by wagon road is about 260 miles without mud; 270 with In the spring and early summer you can find plenty of grass and water near the road, with ranches and several stores at con venient distances. Until you strike the timbered spurs of the Blue moun tains near old Camp Watson, you may have to use up your supply of wooden toothpicks for camp fuel. But beyond there you can find plenty of wood, having left the treeless plateaus be hind You will find plenty of room in the Malheur country for stock ranches but the man who goes there to start an orange grove will we disappointed.
