15 THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, MONDAY, JANUARY 1, 1900. "which Is also applicable to the country around Humboldt, Amelia, Malheur and Rye Valley- All this Is really a recent addition to the mining map of Eastern Oregon, having once been prospected and abandoned because of Insufficient knowl edge and development. Only within the last 12 months have people been willing io Invest capital and labor enough to make a showing. There are a few mills in this section that are doing well. Dur-lceo- (ot Express) is the nearest railroad asu)on accessible to this district Jtortheast from Baker are the Sparta, carson and Cornucopia districts, the lat Ver of which attracted much attention the last season. Through the Sumpter "Valley railroad. Baker has direct connec tion with the Sumpter district, and by stage from there with the Granite dis trict and Grant county. In the Baker district there are also rich copper mines. Wallowa county will be heard from in a substantial way along the Imnaha river, where it is believed the Seven Devils copper mines will be surpassed. The gold belt is also being extended up Into "Wallowa county. Cop Jjer Is also found near Union on North Powder, In this district The principal points to be reached by stage from Baker are: Helena or Seven Devils, 100 miles; Cuprum, 90 miles; Cor nucopia, 70; Falrvlew, B0; Cambridge, 78; Carson, 60; Half-Way, 57; Pine, 55; Rich land, 45; Newbridge, 43; Sparta, 32; Keat ing, 20; Balsley-Elkhorn, 16; Erwin, 15; Auburn, 12; Nelson's Place, 8. Good Wagon roads lead -from Baker in all di rections, giving easy access to points where stages do not run. Revelations of rich ore bodies have come with such rapidity and certainty that peo ple need a little time to get their breath and prepare for the great rush that will 'come In the spring. From the source of the Owyhee to the north line of Oregon, Baker district will be alive next summer, and many a man who has faced the rigors of Alaska will have less to show for his effort and suffering than those who are satisfied to look nearer home for gold. Sumpter Mining: district. That part of this district around Sump ter, Granite and Bourne needs no further mention. New developments are taking place In this district, which the prospector should not overlook. Susanville is a prom ising ground for next season In both placer and quartz. Around Prairie City, Canyon City and John Day are some rich finds. Farther south, in Harney county, near Harney and Burns, are good veins of gold, copper and lead. This part of the district has received but little attention, and the outlook for the future Is bright The last of the three districts Into which we have divided the Eastern Oregon gold fields for convenience Is the newest and least known, and Is, for the first time, classed In the mineral belt It is called the Antelope district because the town by that name is in, perhaps, the richest part of the territory. Rich quartz and placer gold is known to exist near Ante lope and Lookout mountain. The Ochoco river has good placer beds. There is also copper to considerable extent This Is comparatively new ground, and will bear investigation. Unless all signs fall, and the western mining world misses its guess, the output of gold in these three districts, all one in reality, will be so stupendous In the next few years that the -world will marvel that civilization should so long gravitate around this inland treasure vault without finding the combination. JOHN J. MILLER. Baker City, Or. OF INTEREST TQ MINING MEN. Most Complete Sampling: and Assay ing: Plant on the Pacific Const. The Montana metallurgical works, re cently established at 92 First street, this city, and incorporated under the laws of the state of Oregon, Is beyond question one of the most complete establishments of its kind on the Pacific coast The company was organized and its plant erected In this city for the purpose of meeting the demands of the rapidly de veloping mining Interests of this section of the country, of which Portland is naturally the business center . The mine-buyer, or the prospector who thinks he has discovered a mine, wants to know three things at once about It First, what, if any, mineral the rock con tains; second, the value of the same per ton; and, third, the best and necessary process for treating it in order to realize the best results. This knowledge is abso lutely essential for the successful opera tion of a mine, and this knowledge can now be obtaine'd with celerity and perfect exactness, through the establishment of the Montana metallurgical works. The plant of the company is complete in the minutest detail, for sampling and testing ores of all kinds, and for making mill tests of free gold ores in any quan tity from one pound to five tons. It has special facilities for melting and refin ing gold and retorting amalgams. The machines in use for these tests, are all of the latset and most modern type, and are operated by electric power. There are three furnaces for melting and smelting purposes, the hest of their kind. With a crusher having a capacity of one mill stamp, and propelled by electric power, the company can make a complete test of a large body of ore in a comparatively short space of time; whereas, under the old way, with machines propelled by hand, only a small portion of the ore Is tested, and results obtained are much less certain and satisfactory- The grinder, also pro pelled by electricity, and through which the ore is passed after coming from the crusher, practically pulverizes the rock and makes it finally ready for melting. As an illustration of the power of these mod ern machines and their advantages over the old methods, a few days ago a sack of 100 pounds of ore was put through the crusher in 10 minutes, and shortly after ward was transformed into a powder of about the consistency of the finest flour. Under the old process of crushing by hand, it would have required many hours to ac complish the work of 10 minutes' operation of these machines. In connection with tnese modern ap pliances there is a complete assaying out fit under the most skillful management. All assays are made in duplicate, and the work is guaranteed, and if the re sults obtained by them are not practi cally the same as those reached by other reliable assayers, all money will be re funded by the company. The company has a complete set of assayers balances, made expressly for their use. The company allows mint rates for gold dust and retorts (less express charges) for all amounts, or will attend to settle ments with mints or banks. Their prices are reasonable, and the management, cheerfully volunteers to furnish them with any other Information desired by the min ing public Mr. S. Chase is president of the new company, with Mr. J. T. Gove as man ager. Mr. Chase was formerly connected ivith the Omaha smelting works and re finery for a number of years, ana has become well known in this section of the country from connection with various smelting enterprises. Mr. Gove has had over 30 years' ex perience as an assayer, and was for many years connected with the Salt Lake smelting works. Latterly he was In the mining business In Montana, and was manager for the Utah assaying office in Helena for a number of years. FRENCH TAILOR SYSTEM. Mrs. George Shearer wishes to announce that her school for teaching the Kellogg French tailor system of dress cutting Is established at 349 Morrison street A gen eral dressmaking business is done In con nection with it her specialty being ladles' tailor -suits. A course in this school fits one to do the best work in the best way. Mrs. Shearer does accordion-pleating to order. THE EVENING STAR GROUP SOW CLASSED AMONG THE BEST PROSPECTS OF SUMPTER.

So firm Is this convic tion in the minds of experienced miners that under no circumstances could they be induced to invest in a mine located m a district where the formation does not favor the permanency of the gold-bearing veins. On the other hand, these same men will risk their last dollar In a pros pect situated In a mining center where Tich mines have already been opened, and it is the history of mining when handlea after the same careful and systematic plans which Insure success In other call ings, that no Investment of money offers such reasonably sure and profitable re turns as money put into a good prospect In a rich mining district Of all the gold camps In the United States, there is no record of anything bet ter or richer than the great mining district of Eastern Oregon. The famous Virtue mine, near Baker City, has already pro duced millions in gold, and it has been the means of building up several princely fortunes ,for its successive owners. The Balsley-Elkhorn and other properties of a similar character in this same dis trict, are today among the great produc ing gold mines of the coast The gold- bearing veins of the Eastern Oregon mines are all wide; they are well defined, ana what is their most remarkable feature, is that, without exception, they show an In crease of richness as depth is attained. These mines are today classed by mining men as among the richest producing gold properties of the West, and their future development promises much for Portlanu, and for the entire state in which they are fortunately located. The richest of all the camps in Eastern pregon today are the mines of the Sump rter district Sumpter Is connected direct with Baker City on the transcontinental alne of the O. R. & N. and Union Pacific Systems, bv nno nf fhft hPSt-Vmllf ratlrnoila in Oregon. The district is well watered, Bt Is heavily timbered, and the climate per ,'mlts outdoor work to be prosecuted by tne miners throughout the year. It is as rich as the Klondike, it Is as accessible as Is Portland Itself, and It has the history of uninterrupted successes in the develop- first prospect of being large and steady B producers. Of all the rich nrosDects In thf aiimntw district, the mine now being opened by the Evening Star Mining Company gives promise of the richest returns to Its own ers. This company owns six claims the Wheeler, the Evening Star, the La Grande. the Butler, the Gold Bar and the Lady Elgin. Theso mines are situated on the McCully's branch of Powder river, but four miles distant from the town of Sump ter. This group of mines lies In the same belt or zone as the rich producers, the .Norm .pole, Columbia, Ibex, Bunker Hill, E. & E., Golconda, Eureka, Ohio and Ex celsior. These mines are located within a radius of four miles of the properties of the Evening Star Mining Company. The Golconda itself is but five claims distant This latter mine, in a 36-hour run within the past month, cleaned up from its plates over $12,000. All of these mines are devel oped and are now among the steady pro ducers of the Sumpter district Regarding the properties' of the Evening Star Mining Company, the Evening Star mine is worthy of first mention. It Is on this mine that the greatest development work has been done. It has two veins, the north vein being opened by a crosscut from the north wall, a distance of 18 feet, at a depth of 12 feet, all in quartz. The ore In this mine is Identical with that of the rich Ibex mine. The free gold It car ries can plainly be seen by the naked eye. The south wall Is quartzlte, and where the crosscut is made it shows a vein 69 feet between walls. The cropplngs of this vein are easily followed for over 1100 feet, and again it shows the same croppings on the Gold Bar which can be readily traced throughout that claim. The Wheeler has a vein, 42 feet between walls, and is opened by a 14-foot cut at a depth of 12 feet along the south wall. This vein shows two walls, the north wall being of slate, the south wall of quartzite, and it is traceable through the Butler. The La Grande has a well-defined vein, 36 feet In width, the north wall being slate, while the south wall is of black or blue lime stone. This vein, continues through the Lady Elgin. The ore taken from across the entire vein between walls averages from $1 50 to $8, while in the pay streak of six feet It assays ?5L The ore Is first class, the vein is well defined, and, like all other , rich properties of this district, It carries higher values as deptn. ib. attained, witn out exception, where depths of 100 feet have been attained 1ft any of the promis ing mlneB of this district, gold-producing properties have been Opened that call be sold today fof fabulous fortunes in any financial fienter of thS country.

A considerable part of this treasury stock has already been subscribed for .among the business men of Baker City and Sumpter who are most conversant with tne history of the camp in which the company's group of mines is located. The mines of the Evening Star Mining Company will probably a year hence be classed among the steady producers of the Sumpter district, and from the results of the development work already done, one may be warranted In the assumption that they will prove fully as rich as any of the great mines of Eastern Oregon that are now yielding thousands of dollars annually in yellow metal, the gold that the whole world may be said to be seeking. THE OSBORN HOTEL. Among the Most Popular and Sac-, cessfnl in the City. A hotel, which enjoys an exceptionally excellent reputation is the Osborn, owned and conducted by Mr. J. H. Baylor, 25 Grand avenue, East Side. The house is a handsome structure, situated in the business district, and on tne line of the principal street railways of the city. It has 42 handsomely furnished, well-lighted and well-warmed rooms, and the table fare is of uniform excellence, the cuisine and service being all that could be aeslred so that the, fame of the hotel as a nrso class provider has extended far and wide. It is an especial favorite wich people desir ing a quiet, first-class home, to whom the proprietor offers the inducements of spe cial rates. Commercial travelers, too, who are proverbially excellent judges of what constitutes a good hotel, show their ap preciation of the Osborn by patronizing the house generously. The drummer who visits all parts of this country gives our city the credit of being a good hotel town as well as a good place to do business. Globetrotters who have tested the hos pitality of the leading hotels of Europe and America from the Bcsphorus to the Golden Gate credit our hostelrles with be ing as good as found anywhere. Good ho tels are a valuable possession to any city, us they are largely regarded as indices to the quality of the place they represent, and in this connectlor the Osborn is en titled to a prominent place. The excel lence of the cuisine and service at the Osborn is well known to the public, the table being supplied with the choicest of viands, well cooked and properly served by an ample force of help, who look after the comfort of every individual guest. Mn Baylor is an affable, courteous and able hotel man, and under his superior management the Osborn hotel has already assumed a prominent place among those that provide the comforts of a home life to many of Portland's visitors. o THE PIONEER FURRIERS. . P. Rnmmclin fc Sons Have Been Located in Portland During: the Past Thirty Years.. The fine building owned and occupied by G. P. Rummelln & Sons, the pioneer furriers In Oregon, is shown In the art supplement of this edition of The Ore gonlan. This firm has been In active busi ness In Portland during the past 30 years, and the founder of the house, Mr. G. P. Rummelln, still continues to direct the policy pursued by this prosperous con cern.
