Trout Creek Mines Are
Showing Up Well.
Rock Assays $250 a Ton
Development Work Progress
ing Rapidly on Xorth Star
and Other Claims.
The most promising , grouji of
claims in tho district, outside of
the King, is probably the Wood
Group, owned by W. T. Wood and
his three Bonn, James, I-eo and
Milo. The North Star owned by
W. T. Wood has two shafts on top
of the hill, one being 13 feet deep
tlie other 17 feet deep. A tunnel
into the Hide of the hill 80 feet
tdiows some of the finest ore that
has been found in the camp.
There are numerous other prospwt
holes on Uie claim, all showing ore
of fine quality. : Thin i probably
the only claim so far pronpected
that will show good return at al-
' most any spot which has ken
opened np. The assays taken from
. the shaft, tunnel and prospect
holes have run from $10 to 1156
' and this not from selected , rock.
This is truly a wonderful claim
and with tho developement which
will be done this season, will be
one of the best producers in the
district.
The "Dexter" owned by James
Wood in a parallel claim to the
"North Star," and has also shown
Up splendidly from the very first
prospecting. A shaft on the top of
tho hill 13 feet deep shows ore from
which assays have been made giv
ing $70 returns. A tunnel, closo
to the North Star tunnel, has beon
run to a length of 70 feet and pick
ed rock has assayed $250 to the ton.
- The general average of tho ore tak
en from the tunnel so far has been
$12. It is impossible to determine
the size of the ledge in the tunnel
as the whole face is covered with a
fine quality of ore. This will also
be a rich proposition with more
developement.
The "Dixby". owned by Milo
Wood, is an extension of the Dcx-
ter" upon which a shaft 20 feet
deep has been sunk showing some
very fine quartz and ore but no as
says have been made on the rock
taken from it. The "Lone Star"
owned by Lee Wood, is an exten
tion of the North Star, upon which
a shaft has been sunk to a depth
of 25 feet, also showing good quartz
and ore. No assuys have lccn
made on this claim either but in
dications are that it will le a good
producer. The North Star and the
Lone Star are parallell claims with
the King claims and adjoining
them on the North. Ashwood

A drawing Community.
W. S. Hale was in from Culver
Tuesday morning and 'reports
everybody busy out that way.
Culver post office is located, at
the new fownsite of Perryville and
is one of the distributing points
lor mail matter in a thrifty and
prosperous community where not
many years ago only, sage brush
nnd bunch grass were, seen and
'where no one gave a thought
to its ever being settled. In fact
: Ua the. fas zuitim
there one of the prominent stock
men of thiB county said they would
soon starve out as it ws "dry as
a powder horn" nnd for some time
thereafter a part of that country
was known as "1'owder horn flat."
Now however no one denies but it
is a great grain producer and it
will not bo many years before it
will be producing fine fruit, as
nearly all kinds of vegetables do
well including corn, and all this
without irrigation. Tho only
urawnacR to me comunuv is me
Jek of wells and no doubt there
will soon lie a system of artesian
wells established that will furnish
an ample supply for all purposes.
More than forty filings have
Ix-en made on land in that part! ur(;(1 in portjanii tlait can be

a thrifty little town will be built
up in that locality In ' tho near
future. There is still plenty of
room for more tattlers in that
section. 1
Mr$. Cary't Mutkale
. Last Tuesday evening a nuniU-r
of invited truest gathered in the
spacious dining room of tho Hotel
Prinevillo to listen to a few selec
tions by Mrs. Cary's class in music.
Although the excreies wore notlong
they were very pleasing; tho more
so as a large numlwr of the jer
formers were mere little tots who
had but lately outgrown their baby
clothes. However the selections
wero rendered in a manner to prove
that Princville can boast of more
musical talent among its little ones
than any town in the state of equal
population. The older partiepants
did well and it is to be hoped that
we will lie favored with another
musical treat in the near future.
The volunteer performers did
equally well, espcjially the Juve
nile orchestra.
The program rendered was as
follows:

Oregon's exhibit at the Pan

pared by II. E. Doseh, who will
have charge of it while at Buffalo,
lie is having the shelving and
various partitions needed mniiufac-
in New York state. The exposition
oH!iis May 1, and Mr. Doseh hows
to have Oregon's exhibit in readi
ness by that tinio, so that the very
first visitors to the building will be
enabled to judge U Oregon's varied
and extensive resources. ,

ishing qualities, and renders its use

iiivre win in? uic liuui jvubutii
and Southern Oregon, to show that
this is a mineral as well as an agri
cultural and live stock and fishery
state, and the lumlwr exhibit will
be extensive nnd unique, as tho big
sawmills of Portland will vie with
each other in showing Eastern
people how largo the trees grow
and how many varieties of useful
woods there are growing wild out
here.
' "Woolen goods, blankets , and
fabrics will also bo in tho collection
from the woolen mills of tho inter
ior, where products already find ex
tensive sale in every state cast of
the Mississippi river. Wool will
lie exhibited in all stages, from the
greasy fleece to tho finished cloth.
"The forestry exhibit will con
tain Oregon trees and undergrowth
in their natural state, and the ever
green naturo of the forest of the
Pacific coast will thereby be shown.
"Wo have over 10,000 squaro feet
of floor space, distributed among
the buildings devoted to agricul
ture, horticulture, forestry, min
ings and the fine arts, and the col
lection in the last mentioned build
ing prove that Oregon people are
not unmindful of tho arts and sei
ences, while reveling in tho plenti
tude of never failing crops, pleas
ant summers and mild winters. 1
am confident that tho state will
more than get its $25,000 approp
riation back within a short time,
as a result of advertising ifs peer
lees rosoureos at Uuffulo this
summer."

An Eoitern Oregon jAoneer"
Tho many readers of the Eagle
will lie pleased to hear that Major
Joseph Magone, who is known to
every pioneer in Eastern Oregon,
is still alive at tho home of hi
daughter at Ogdenburgi New York,
where he went several years, ago
after an absence on tho , Pacific
coast for ovor half atcntur-.' The
major is well known in G,-ort
county, where ho resided for years.
His lake, on the headwaters of
Beech creek, which has furnished
so much sport for pot fishermen
several years, was tho scene of
many a plcasont hour for tho aged
pioneer. Tho many trout that
have bam captured there in recent
ycurs were carried there by Mr,
Magone from tho John Day river
in oil cans. Could he realize the
manner in which the product of
many hard days of labor ho would
at once polish up his needle gun
and return to Oregon.
It will bo remembered that Mr.
Magono walked from tho court
houso steps in Canyon City to the
world's fair at Chicago in 189.',
leaving here on July 4th, and
making an avcrago of aliout thirty
miles per day during tho entire
trip. Ho was to publish a book
on this trip, but it is not known
whether such has yet gone to the
press. . ,
Mr. Magone is waring 'tho cen
tury milo stono, and even at 'this
advanced age his mind was yet in
its prime when ho loft here a few
years ago. Line Mountain Eagle.
