From the Dallen dintrict the
linen of restoration run through
every range and township, eni
hodied in the reserve, down to
Township )1 Smith, tho northern
houndary of California, and ex
tend ns far east an the region of
Christmas Lake in Range '25. All
that desert and agricultural land
lying in tho vicinity of Lnvti, the
ltig Meadows, Silver Lake, Paisley
and the desert region hetween
these points and in tho district of
the lakes lying southward of the
town of Silver Lake, are thrown
open again to settlement.

iriven to the Cascade, reserve h
along tho western hordern of those
townships lying adjacent to the
Cascade reserve and falling in

of lands still retained in those, dis
tricts, hut little of the withdrawal
remains, the object f tho Interior
Department being apparently to
retain' only such townships along
the water courses as have not heen
broken up by the applications of
individual claimants. Lake and
Klamath counties in consequence
which, until now did not own but
a few acres outside of forest re
serves, are again free from the
encumbrance.
Tho order received in this olliee
states that t'no notice for publica

OREGON DISTRICT
MAY BE DIVIDED
Representative (lillett of Cali
fornia, from tho committee on
judiciary, has submitted a favor
able report on Williamson's bill
to divide the state of Oregon into
two judicial districts, says the
Journal,
Tho report states in part that
the present United States district
court is held in Portland, in, tho
I northwest corner of tho Btate, avid
thiwii who live in - cantcm Oregon,
having lnihiiieMH heforo thin Court,

theinsidve and to thu government.
The exciwhivo mileagu and expcimo
which in entailed upon t ho govern
ment in taking w itneHe from one
part of thu ntule to the other will
go n long way toward defraying
the- expenned connected with an
other eel of dirtlriet olliccrn.
Kanlcni Oregon in rapidly filling

GREAT STRIKE AT
DIXIE MEADOWS
Further proof of the greatness
of the Dixie M.Jadows mine wan
made last week in the uncovering
of a nix foot body of ore running
f:'.0 to st) per ton. The new
strike was made in a raise from
level to 2 and further demon
strates th-.it with intelligent de
velopment tho mine will be one of
the greatest in the northwent ami
in all probability attain fame on
one of the grealet in the world.
Already thousands of tons of ore
are blocked out and it is generally
conceded by some of the ablest
mining men of tho west that a re
duction plant of 500 ton daily
capacity could he supplied for a
very long time from the present
ore reiorves.
The strike wan made on level l
on which the vein has been drifted
some GOO feet, the level being
established at the intersection of a
cross cut tunnel lliO feet in length.
Work on the mill, which wan
temporarily suspended owing to
frce.ing of water during the recent
cold spell, has been resumed with
excellent results and four teams
are busily engaged in hauling con
centrates to Tipton for shipment to
the Sumpter smelter, which now
averages two carloads weekly.
The saving on tho plates is be
coming higher since the new mill
process was adopted, it being un
derstood that from $1,000 to $5,000
monthly is now being saved and
tho grade of concentrates is also
improved.
Tin1 Dixie Meadows vein is on
loulneiHy one of the greatest in
the entire northwest, its continuity
having been proven tho length of
six claims, or 0,000 feet, by a most
exhaustive series of open cuts and
shallow shafts, in all of which it
showed a width of !0 to -15 feet.
Three drifts comprise tho prin
cipal underground workings. Level
1 being a drift of 100 feet; level 2
which was established at the inter
section of a crosscut tunnel 270
feet in length, has drifts of nearly
500 feet and level o, the main
working tunnel, has drifts of over
(100 feet. Raisers have been made
between 2 and 1 and an intermedi
ate level established from which
drifts have been run both ways. A
raiso is now being mado between 3
acd 2, in which the important
strike was made. .
.. At different places in levels
and 3 tho vein has been crosscut
and always found to be 30 or more
teet in width, in tins great ore
body tbero are two very rich pay
steaks, ono on the banging wall
side being about ono foot wide and
tour leot wide, in Uieso the ore
runs from $20 to $00, with values
high os $SO,000 per ton on the
footwall steak. Tho balaneo of
the big vein runs from $3 to $10
per ton.
A force of twenty is now cm
ployed in mine and mill and it is
thu intention to noon increane it
materially and develop the mine
on a very extennivo ncalo and in
the spring inntall a reduction plant
of greatly increaned capacity.

THE WAY THE SHEEP
LAW WOULD ACT
Tho provisions of Represent
ative Steiner's bill providing for
recovery of money for losses sus
tained by (dock killing are given
below. The bill waH read (or the
first time Ixforo tho House on
January 25.
Section 1. That whenever in
any county or municipal corpor
ation in this state, any cattle,
sheep, horse, swine and goats shall
be injured or destroyed by any
outlaw, or person or jn-rsona in
disguise, mob or riot, the owner
of such property shall be entitled
to recover of the county or mu
nicipal corKration in which such
procrty wan located at tho time
it was injured or destroyed, fifty
per cent of tho reasonable value
thereof, at the time and place
where injured or destroyod.
Section 2. That claims for said
damages allowed in section 1 of
this act shall bo first presented to
the county court in the county in
which such damnges occurred
within twenty days from tho oc
currence of such damages, with
proof of loss, and shall be acted
upon by said court as other claims,
are now passed upon. that in
case the decision of the county
ourt is unsatisfactory to tho party
burning damages it shall lw en-
tilled to appeal from the decision
of such county court to the circuit
court of said countv. In case of
uch appeal from the county court
to tho circuit court the same shall
be commenced by the filing or a
complaint in tho said circuit
court of the said county, and the
service of summons shall be had
as an ordinary action at law.
Section 5. That if at any time
cforo the payment of the money
recoverable under tho provisions
of this act, tho offenders shall be
apprehended and duly tried, con-
icted und punished, such con-
lction and punishment shall
operate as satisfaction of the
judgment in tho particular case.
Sections 3, 4 , and ti of the same
bill provide for the commencement
of action under tho provisions of
tho act inside of one year from
date of killing: that all judg
ments secured under tho act shall
be satisfied tho same t as other
judgments against counties, and
that the. provisions become effec
tive as soon ns approved by tho
(Jovernor.
IMMENSE EMIGRATION
TO OREGON THIS YEAR
Because of tho fact that in form
er years colonist rates from Mis
souri and Mississipi Valley points
to tho Pacific Coast have been
mado effective February 15, largo
numbers of the people expected
to take advantage of the rates at
that date this year. The result
has been unprecedented inquiry,
.Unclosing that had the rates gone
into force on tho same date as last
year there would he under way
at the end of this week a large
movement of homeseekers. How
ever, the Passenger Association
fixed tho dates for this year March
1 to May 15, and tho immigrants
will not begin to arrive in Oregon
in largo numbers for more than a
fortnight.
Southern lines are understood
to have been responsible for the
later date of inaugurating the
rates for this season that have
been proven beneficial in bringing
new people to the sparsely settled
districts of the Northwest. It was
asserted that in former years,
since tho ono-way rates have been
instituted for certain periods of
the Fall and Spring, tho move
ment of February came when tho
California tourist business is at
its heaviest, thereby interfering
regular traffic, bosides overcrowd
i ing trains. Telegram.
