    THE MINE
DEDICATED
Howard Crowded With
People.
FIVE STAMPS GOING
A Chicken Dinner Served Free
to Everybody As En
joyable Trip.
Monday, October 8th, 1906, may
well be considered a red letter day
in the commercial history of Crook
county. The Gatewood mine,
formerly the Mayflower, at the
head of dchoco creek, was formally
opened with appropriate cere
monies, and the vxnderou8 ni
chinery set in motion that is des
tined to place this county well up
in the list of gold producing sec
tions of the Northwest.
Pursuant to the announcement
of Mr. B. Gatewood, who has an
option on the mine from the May
flower people, that the mines
would be dedicated on Monday, a
number of Prineville people in
cluding Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Bald
win, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. King, Dr.
and Mrs. H. P. Belknap, Mr. and
Mrs. Thronson and Mr. and Mrs.
M. E. Brink started early Monday
morning for the new mining camp
where a large concourse of citizens
from Mitchell and the Ochoco Val
ley had already assembled. At
2 o'clock the guests met on the
second floor of the stamp mill
where a brief address was made by
T. M. Baldwin of The First Nation
al Bank of Prineville, who spoke
earnestly of the brilliant prospects
of the new mine and what its de
velopment would mean to the com
mercial interests of Crook countv.
The last words of Mr. Bald
win's address dedicating the
mine to " success and pros
perity " had scarcely died
away when Mr. Gatewood turned
on the power. The 125 horse-power
water wheel began to revolve, and as
the immense 750-pound stamps be
gan to drop Mrs. H. P. Belknap
broke a bottle of clear Ochoco water
across the face of the battery, and
the nrst gold stamp mm ever
erected in Central Oregon was in
successful operation not to stop
until the Northwest comes to1
know that Crook county contains
a gold mine that is a commercial
success.
Mr. Gatewood estimates that
there is enough ore now in the
bins and in sight to keep the mill
running night and day for a year.
Experts pronounce the mill as
thoroughly equipped as any mill in
the West. The ores are handled
almost entirely by the gravity sys
tem and the cost of milling is re
duced to the minimum.
The mill now contains a battery
of five stamps, each dropping
ninety-five times a minute. Three
tons of concentrates are produced
every twenty-four hours, of the
value of (250 per ton; the tailings
are carried to the cyanide tanks
and will produce enough gold
bulion to pay all running ex
penses of the mine.
Mr. Gatewood w certainly to be
commended for the energy and in
telligence displayed in taking up
a proposition that has been often
pronounced impracticable and put
ting it upon a sound financial
basis.
The Mayflower mine was dis
covered about twenty years ago by
Lewis and George McCallister,
who prosecuted the development
work for thirteen years and then
bonded it to W. VV. Cotton and B.
Campbell of Portland, for $100,
000.00. After spending some $30,
000.00 in driving tunnels these
gentlemen gave up the enterprise,
concluding the ores were too obsti-

H. F. Jones of Redmond, la attend
Ing the fair. He says that the whole
town of Redmond would have been
here had It not been for the tact that
a good many are now busy thresh
ing. As It Is, about fifty Redruond
Ites are here taking In the sights.
He savs Redmond ha already start
ed to work up next year's fair. They
are hustlers over there.
F. S. Stanley, secretary and treas
urer of the i. 1. & i: Co., oi neu-
mond, shows his Implicit confidence
In the productiveness of the lands
under bis company by closing a
$17,500 contract with persona living
In The Dalles to clear 1000 acres on
his ranch about 16 miles from Red
tnond.
Prof. Ellas Nelson Is coming back
to take charge of the D. I. P. Co.'s
experimental farm at Redmond. He
will lie In charge again the first of the
year. It will be remembered that
the government last year secured
Prof. Nelson to take charge of Its ex
perimental work at Twin Falls, Ida
ho. The D. I. 4 P. Co. officials ap
preciate what the gentleman has ac
complished for them and made It an
object to him to again take up his
work with them.
D. McLean, the horse buyer from
Medicine Hat, Allierta, is registered
at the I'oindexter. Mr. McLean and
son have come for the rest of the
Paul Held and Huston horses. They
took some three or four hundred
head to-M'.iiS hist spring, as was
noted In the Journal at the time, and
were to come back and take what
was left after the fall round-np,
This is Mr. McLean's mission In
Crook county at this time. He says
the Canadian market while still
good, Is not as high aa It was last
spring. Horses that would bring
912a there then would sell for about
$100 now. However, prices are fair
ly good and he Is out after good
heavy stock. He can find a market
for animals weighing from 1200
pounds up. "Ranchers ought to
make good money In the horse busi
ness if they would exercise more care
in range breeding. Good stx-k will
always command good prices,
Where no attention is paid as to
what runs on the range the scrubby
stock Is found to increase all out of
proportion to that which Is desir
able, and it costs just as much In the
way of pasture to raise one a the
other. Commence to improve your
range stock now and In a few years
you will reap your reward," say
Mr. McLean.
It is doubtful if there is a person
in this community outside of the
postmaster who is aware of the
tons and tons of advertising mat
ter that is distributed in Prineville
every year. Sack after sack of stuff
from a well known Chicago mail
order house was dumped on the
istributing table at the postortice
the other day and curiosity
prompted a Journal representative
to make a few inquiries concern
ing the amount received in a
twelve-month. The aiswer wss.
Tons and tons of it."
Few people stop long enough to
consider what it means to a com
munity to send away its surplus
cash. Our farmers seem to forget
that the catalogue houses never
buy their wood, their grain, their
butter or eggs or anything else
they raise. They overlook the fact
that the profits of the mail order
house are not spent in this com
munity and not a cent ot their
money do they ever see again
These mail order concerns create
no local markets and have no
property in the community which
can be assessed to neip near me
expense of schools, local govern
ment and improvements.
Our citizens should be loyal to
local dealers who spend their
money, time and skill in our
midst. They help share the bur
den and responsibility of building
up a community wherein they
make their homes and invest their
profat8. Before sending your
money away for goods stop and
consider the matter well. Inquiry
will convince you that you can do
better at home. Try it.
