Dr. H. P. Belknap received word
Sunday from the Belknap mining
nroiiertv. at Prairie City, Grant
County, to the eect that a 12 foot
vein of ore had been encountered,
and that it contained values ol from
$5 to $100. The sawmill owned by
tho com; any is in active operation
turning out lumber for development
work while n 10-slninp pmru mill has
hss been contracted lor, to be installed
not later than July 1st. These re
iiorts show that work in the mine is
being pushed right along and the in
dicatiuns point to a permanent propo
sition that w ill carry fortunes to those
holding stock.
Upoef inquiring of D. F. Stewart,
principal owner ol tho Prineville
Flouring Mills we arc informed that
his machinery it shut down mid has
been for sun e time owing to a siiort
age in grain, and that the supply is at
least 10,000 bushels short ol the local
demand. In view of this fact and al
so that the lime is not fur distant
when the demand wiilb lar in ex
cess of whut it now i i w iy don t
the Crook county (aimers take steps
toward developing the graiu acrea e?
Surely there is money in raising
wheat at n price that is said to aver
age 75 cents per bushel. There is no
country more productive of good
sound grain than our county, and in
stead of having a shortage in our
home D'arkets, we should have grain
and lots ol it, for export.
