Reese, anperintendont at tho Dixie Meadows waa down from the mine the early part of the week looking for men to go to work as he was anxious to put on a double shift. The work of sinking is proceed ing rapidly making four feet a day. The compressor and drills work without a hitch. Thirty minutes is only required to sink a five foot hola and at this rate it will be but a short time when the mine will be opened up as well as any min ing property in Kaatem Oregon. The shaft is being sunk on the hanging wall of the ledge con taining about 40 feet of ledge matter. The first nine feet from the wall will run with values averaging $20. A streak of ore aeragin3 if 150 clings to the hang ing wall. At this writing they have sunk but 20 feet, having jtiht started, and if there is any change it is for the better. The shaft will be sunk MX) feet with intermediates. The Dixie Meadows will, before thin year ends, be recognized as one of the best mines in eastern Oregon. The Miner speaks ad visedly on this point. And the statement is not taken from the report of an expert hireling, but from 40 or 50 disinterested miners who with peculiar unanimity pro- jnounee this property one of the best mines in the state. The management expect to put to work a large force of miners before fall. By that time the shaft will he sunk 300 feet with 50 feet levels and their extensive milling oteration will be started. The Huntington mill which is now installed at the mine will be re placed with '20 stamps. I'rairie (!ity Miner. Summer Sheep Range. The W. V. .V C. M.

PRINEVILLE , SENDS $1100 To Be Used for Califor nia Sufferers RESPOND LIBERALLY At a Called Meeting Saturday Eve ning the Money was raised In Short Time A number of the business men gathered at the Club building Saturday evening in answer to a call by the President of tne Busi nessniens' League to discuss what purt Prineville would take in re lieving the distress of our suffer ing California neighbors. The true spirit was manifest, the meet ing being uuaminus and eager to contribute to the cause. T. M. Baldwin presided and 3tated brietiy the object of the gathering. Mayor Win. Wurz weiler at once rose and spoke earnestly as to the duty, as well as privilege of giving to so worthy and urgent a cause and in behalf of the firm of Wurzweiler A Thomson gave 1250. U.K. Brink voiced his sentiments and said the city could not do a more com mendable' deed than get to work at once and do our part, and Sug gested that a committee of three be appointed by the president to solicit funds. The president appointed C. I. Winnek, M. R. Elliott and I). V. Stewart as a cotnmitte and a paper was drawn up and inside of 15 minutes $627 was subscribed. The meeting was then acjourned and the soliciting committe finished their work Sun day morning, adding the total of the amount subscribed to $1100. The money raised was sent direct to the governor of California to be used for the California suf ferers in the way that he thought best. The Carnation Chapter of the 0. K. S. appropriated $150 for the cause to be expended by the Masonic lodge of California in the relief work being done by that lodge. The prompt and substantial manner in which the business men and citizens of Prineville re sponded to the call of aid to their sister state is commendable and that they done so in a generous spirit is shown by the amount raised in the short space of time. RAILROAD UP THE DESCHUTES Trunk Line Is Surveying for a Line to Be in the Near Future Central Oregon is going to he tapped by a railroad at once, and that road is coming up the Des chutes river from the Columbia. This is the important information brought on Monday by K. C. Gor don, engineer for the Oregon Trunk line, which is the name under which tlie line will he hunt into central Oregon. Mr. Gordon is here now buying right-of-way for the railway, and actual construe- lion worn win oe negun not later than Mav 10. lne Oregon 1 runk line is prompted by V. F. Nelson of Seattle, who built the Dufttr road last year, and who was behind the survey made up the Deschutes river last winter. Mr. NYlhon has financed his railroad project ur Deschutes, and there is no doubt that work will be started at nnn Mr. Jordan is emphatic in his statements that this road will be built, and says that Mr. Nelson has alreadv given orders for the removal of his construction out lits to the mouth of the Deschutes, under instruction to legin work by the 5th of May. He thinks, however, that it may be a week later before work begins. At present Mr. Gordon is secur ing the right-of-way for the line. The tirst eighteen miles of right oi-way along me Ucschutea was secured some weeks ago and the deeds have already been riled for Mr. Gordon: secured deeds for right-of-way through a number of places lying on Vil!w creek gorge between this place and the Deschutes river, on Monday. Among those from whom he bought right-of-way are W. J. Cowherd and J. E. t'amplell and he has closed with most of the owners on the line along the Des chutes for right-of-way through their lands. Mr. Gordon says that the Oregon Trunk line will be built up the Deschutes river, coming up Willow creek gorge to tan the immense wheat belt of this section, and that from this point the road will later be extended southward. Madras is the present objective point. It is not known with what railroad the Oregon Trunk line is affiliated, although it is assumed that Mr. Nelson is build ing the line independently of either the Harriman or the Hill roads. Information on this point has not been given out, although it has been hinted that at the mouth of the Deschutes is one of the best crossings on the Columbia river, affording easy connection with the Hill line on the north bank. It is not believed, however, that. the Harriman interests would per mit the Deschutes route to fall into the hands of Hill, thus virtually relinquishing to those interests the immensely important central Oregon country, as well as a Hording them an easy entrance into the Harriman territory in the south. Dalles Chronicle. Will Furnish Settlers Water In the issue of The Journal of April 19, was an article relative to the Columbia Southern Irrigation Company having trouble. The article stated that the company bad refused to comply with the demand of the State Land Board to furnish 1.8 feet of water during the irrigation season. This, so C. S. Smith, Superintendent of the company says is a tnistade, and that he has been ordered by the company to proceed to put in the headgates and measuring boxes to supply the settlers under the ditch with that amount of water as demanded by the land board. Will Abandon Malheur Project A dispatch from Washington states that fuller advices by the secretary of the interior make it impracticable to proceed with the Malheur project. The complica tions over individual holdings and railroad rights ot way preventing. The lands withdrawn will le re stored to public entry under Cary and other acts. Senator Heyburn announced in the senate that it was a physical impossibility to bold federal courts called to meet in San Francisco for the May term, consequently he will introduce a resolution permitting courts to unci in Portland instead. File Incorporation Papers The Oreg .a" '"Trunk Lite Hail road Company has been organized at Carson City, Nev., by W. F. Nelson, K. A. Balliuger and L. I. Gregory, capitalized at $1,000,000. The incorporation articles provide for the building of a line 250 miles into Central Oregon, having its terminus at the continence of the Deschutes Kiver. William J. Wilsey, John M. Kddy and William M. Gregory, tiled articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State for the Ore gon .(.'oast and Kastern Kail way Company. The proposed road is to start at Portland, thence to Tillamook to Nehalem, and from Coos Bay in Oregon to HumUddl Bay in California, and from Sius law Bay easterly via the Siuslaw and Willamette Valleys to such point in the south half of Malheur county, on the eastern or southern boundary of the state, as may be convenient. The capital stock is $10,000,000. The principal place of bitbiness is Portland.
