0. R. & N. Will Survey
A Route From Bend
WILL HASTEN WORK
It it Hoped to Have the Whole
Dittaoce Completed Within
A Year
A crew of O. R. A N. surveyor
left Portland last week to com
mence, the preliminary survey for
the projected line from Deschutes
to Bend, a feeder for the (). It. &
X. Article of incorioration were
1 filed thin week hy V. W. Cotton.
J. 1'. O'Brien and William Crooks,
; under the name of the Deschutes
j Railway Company, with a capital
Utoc k of $100,000.'
The reKjrt of thin crew . of sur-
veyorH in exjH'cted to 1 in the
ha lid of (ieneral Manager O'lUu-n
j,, 30 tlnvH, wheii the extent of the
road to W built during the coming
rieaitoti will Im determined. If the
route following the Denchules
River, connecting with the (). R.
Ut X. at DeschuteH, in found to he
u fi'iisilile one, the whole dittauce
1 of 1H0 miles may be completed
j within a year.
I Xo entimate of the cost of the
road can he made as yet until a
more complete knowledge of grades
and other conditions is in the
handu of the headu of the Oregon
I Railway fc Xavigation Company.
; However, if the grade along the
Dexehutes tkn-s not present any
undue tlilHcultien, as it in not
lielieved it will, the line will be
pushed through to completion,
way with the other mileage of the
O. U. A X. Co.
Tift1 road to Bend will be the
longest feeder the Harriman pys
tem has ever pushed toward Cen
tral Oregon. Its purj09C is to get
the increasing business throughout
the Deschutes Valley and in the
adjacent territory. For 70 miles
it will parallel the Columbia
Southern, another O. K. & N.
branch, but will draw freights
from a section too fur removed to
he served by that line. The pro
posed road will bear the same re
lation to the main line that the
Columbia Southern, the Condon
branch and the Hcppner branch
do, but the new road will be twice
as long as the longest of these, and
will bring trains into Southern
Oregon that will go far toward
solving the transportation prob
lems that have so long faced that
isolated section.
It has Ikjcii supposed that the
0. R. A X. plan was ultimately to
extend the Columbia Southern
from its present terminus at Shan
iko to Canyon City, but south of
Shaniko the extension would find
itself facing a difficult stretch of
country because of the mountain
ous nature of the ground. A line
up the Deschutes to the rich ,coun
try around Bend, besides serving
tho wheat fields adjacent to the
river en route, looks more attrac
tive to the llarrinitin officials than
any other entrance into Central
Oregon.
if the preliminary survey is &y
proved as a feasible route up the
Deschutes, which is a swift stream
with steep banks much of the way,
the interior of the state will he
entered at once. In connection
with the Oregon Eastern, project
ed by the Harriman lines, the
Bend-Deschutcs ro-id would prac
tically have a line from the Colum
bia River to the California line on
the eastern side of the Cascades.

Will Return The Patents
Readers of the Examiner will
remember an article published in
titis paper about a year ago, to the
effect that the Secretary of the
jetted to land claimant, which
Interior had recalled all patent
had lieen rwe?ed at thin land
office for delivery to claimant.
There were about 100 patent in
the Lake view land office that had
not leen delivered, which were all
nent back.
An ordi-r ban now Iwen issued
from the department to return all
patent to the local land officea for
delivery, except those which
showed fraud, o many people who
proved up on land will now re
ceive their patent?. .Nothing has
been heard of thin order at the
local land office a yet, nor tht
patents received, but it is pre
sumed they will come in time
f.nkeview Examiner.
Machinery Has Been Purchased
Mining and milling the great
ore bodies at the Dixie Meadow a
justified by their richne and
magnitude will be instituted with
in a very short time and there is
no question but that this summer
will see one of the greatest mine
in the Xorthwest established in
the Sumpter district.
Enroute borne Tuesday, from a
trip to Denver, Supt. Reese stated
he had purchased a sinking plant
offiOOfeet capacity and a seven
drill compressor of the Rand make,
with five drills. The machinery
will he placed opposite the mouth
of the main crosscut tunnel and a
sinking station established at its
intersection with the vein where
the shaft would be started. By
this method it is expected suflici
ent water can be obtained at all
times for the continuous operation
of the milling plant. It is the in
tention to sink to a depth of 300
feet, with levels every 100 feet and
extend drifts beneath the present
workings.
The present improvements are
the results of the recent bond
issue of $6,000, all of which was
taken among original owners of
the mine. Xo change in the mill
will be made for the present, but
later in the season it will le aug
mented with additional stamps.
Mr. Reese stated work was con
tinuous at the mine and immense
reserves were being established,
which would confirm the recent
announcement that over $2,000,000
in ore was blocked out in the
immense ore body. The Blue

MULES PROFITABLE
Oregon Farmers Have Proof
Eastern Washington
In
Mule breeding is another indus
try for which this state is well
adapted. The following clipping
from the Waitsburg (Wash.)
Times will be read with interest:
"The demand for mules in the
Inland Empire has become so in
sistent that many farmers have
gone into the business of raising
mules for the market. During the
last year thousands of these much
prized work animals have been
shipped from the East to supply
the ever increasing demand. Re
cently many of the shrewd stock
men of the state have sold out of
the cattle and horse raising busi
ness and are now devoting their
time to the mule industry ex
clusively. The Drumheller-Le-Grow
Company recently bought a
band of 300 choice mares and
have started to raise mules for
the market on a large scale on
their immense ranch in the Crab
Creek country.
"Other prominent stockmen in
the Xorthwest are beginning to
enter this most profitable industry,
and within a decade tho Xorth
west will be one of the biggest mulo
markets in tho United States.
'As an instance of what a good
mule is worth, last Saturday,
Wesley Lloyd sold a young broken
mule in this city for $ltJ0 cash."

THOUSANDS SHIPPED
Lambs Held at Two Dollars and
Seyenty-five Cents Per Head
and Wool 20 Cents Pound
"If sheep and wool continue to
advance during the next two years
a they have in the last year
Oregon sheepmen will become
millionaires," said William Rea
Jr. of St. Paul, Minnesota, whose
firm annually buys thousands of
Oregon sheep and ships them to
Montana ranges. He arrived in
the city en route to Heppner,
where he will buy 'several large
flocks of mixed yearlings or lambs.
"I would estimate that Oregon
will market about 250,000 head of
sheep this year," continued Mr.
Rea at the Portland hotel. "Thit
is about the ame as for 1905, but
you must take into consideration
the fact that thousands of sheep
were shipped out of the state last
fall, which was a little unusual.
If they were still in the state this
year's product would more than
equal last year' unusually high
total.
"Mixed yearlings, or lambs, as
we call them, are bringing about
$2.75 a head this year in Oregon,
as compared with alKut$2.12$ for
1905, and it costs us 50 cents a
head to ship them to Montana.
Wool is being held at 20 cents a
pound, and I guess the sheepmen
will get their price. Last year the
average 'sale price in -Oregon was
from 16 to 18! cents. One or two
clips went off at 20 and 22 cents,
but they were exceptions.
"With sheep at $2.75 a head
and wool held at 20 cents a pound,
and Oregon ranges covered with
about 250,000 head for market use,
you can readily see what is be
coming of your sheepmen. They
are making money hand over fist,
and have been doing it for two
years On the other hand, the
cattle men are having s hard time
of it. Stock on hoof is low and
keeps sliding down the scale a few
cents at a time. here it is going
to stop I do not know.
"Montana is fast becoming the
greatest sheep state in the country.
And with its growth in that direc
tion the cattle raising business is
on the wane. At one time - Mon
tana staked its wealth and reputa
tion on placer mines and cattle.
Today it is sheep, and gold quartz
and copper mines, the state is
growing enormously rich every
year. Oregon is fast approaching
Montana's sheep standard, and
ought to equal it, in proportion to
their relative sizes, in the near
future." Portland Journal.
New Machinery for Mayflower
The Mayflower mine, . located
near the head of Ochoco nas been
bonded to Kansas City capitalists,
who are represented by E. Gate
wood of this city. The deal was
made some time last fall, at which
time Mr. Uatcwood had a ton of
on' from the mine shipped to
Denver for treatment in'' order to
procure the machinery adapted to
its working.
Mr. Gatewood, accompanied by
J. E. Bacon and R. Bacon, of
Biker City arrived in town Sun
day and left for the mine Monday,
where they will proceed to get the
machinery installed.
In speaking to Mr. Gatewood he
informed us that the machinery
was in Shaniko and would be put
up and in running order as soon as
they could get it hauled out and
set up. It is their intentions to
push operations as fast as possible,
a they expect to do coniderabl
development work this season.
The machinery will consist of a
6 stamp mill with a 20 ton capac
ity and in addition a cyanide
plant. '
The property ha long been con-
sidered a valuable one by those
who have known it, but heretofore
has never proven a paying one,
more on account of the lack of the
proper machinery to develop it.
As one mining roan said: "The
stuff is there and in my opinion it
is far ahead of the Oregon King
property at Ashwood, and it only
remains for the proper develop
ment to make it one of the best
paying properties in tte state."
Announce His Platform
Dr. James Withycombe, of Cor
vallis, has announced his platform;
on which he proposes to stand in
the coming campaign if he re
ceive the nomination at the
hands of the republican party of
Oregon for the office of governor.

COMPANY FORMED
T. J. Ennis and C H. Hill Form a
Company to Bay Horses
T.J. Ennis of Walla Walla, and
C. H. Hill of this place, have
formed a company for the purpose
oi buying shipping and marketing
horses from Crook county. They
have leased ths Dillon feed yards
and will use them as a depot for
the handling and breaking of the
horses. These gentlemen desire at
present to buy draft horses for the ;
market, but later on expect to be
able to establish a demand for
smaller animals.
Ennis & Hill have contracted to
deliver in Prineville between
March 15 and 20 a number of
horses suitable for the U. S. cavalry
service. They are to be received
by G. W. Sleet and will be horses
weighing between 950 and 1150
measuring from 15 to 154 hands
high and broke to ride.
While in Crook county lttt
week Mr. Ennis purchgsed 44 head
of good horses, 30 of which were
shiped to Walla Walla and 14'
head of which are now in the
yards. Shipments will be made
in carload lots. Mr. Ennis de
parted Sunday for Walla Walla
and Mr. Hill is now busy shapii.g
up matters in readiness to begin
handling the business at this end.
The operations of this company
promise to give a steady cash
market for horses in Crook county
and while they do not expect to
offer fancy prices they will buy at
reasonable figures any horses that
can be marketed.
Aside from the company busi
ness Mr. Hill has about 300 head .
of range horses in this county.
Riding will be com.nenced on the
range by a number of horsemen
next week and those animals
which are ready for the market
will be disposed of, while only tho
best of the brood mares from the
herds will be held at the Powell
Butte ranches for breeding
purposes.
