ing Into Mormon Basin
Mormon Basin has been a steady pro
ducer of gold since 1SG2, and Is today be
ing placer mined, by Chinese mostly,
but also by men who worked It In 1863,
when it was good for $10 to ?50 a day.
One of these old miners is today taking
out barely enough to keep him In grub,
but Is kept at work by the hope that
springs eternal, dally expecting a nugget
or pocket that will furnish wages for a
season. The Chinese control the ditches
and waters, while the poor white man
must be content with surface water.
Of late years some attention has been
paid to quartz. The whole country
around carries plenty of float and string
ers of quartz, and occasionally good
ledges are encountered. The section Is on
the edge of the granite belt, the general
formation being lime, porphyry and
quartzlte. The "values are carried prin
cipally In the decomposed matter found
In the seams and in the talc. The ore Is
mostly granite, and slacks when ex
posed to tho air and rain for a short
time.
S. P. Colts is operating a Crawford
mill and opening up several prospects on
Sunday Hill and Spiritual, to the west
of the basin. To the east of the basin
on California Gulch, Huntington men are
opening up some claims, while to the
northeast. E. H. Head. M. S. Head, J.
D. Toss. E. Roberts, W. D. Newbury and
others are developing prospects. Mr. Head
has been here over two years and made
many locations. The principal work has
been done on the Morning Star, where a
40-foot ledge is exposed in an open cut
and also by a 100-foot tunnel. This whole
ledge Is said by E. H. Head to assay
S7 to the ton. The ground Is easily
worked, little powder being necessary.
There is also a 40-foot shaft on the Star.
On the Puget Sound claim some rich
quartz Is exposed by open cuts. Tho
Is easily traceable for several miles, and ( Golden Eagle, at the head of the south
has also been opened up on Auburn Creek i fork of Pedro Creek, has been opened bv
where the Gold Bug Mining Company is t a 70-foot shaft, and a small vein of rich

similar to where opened by the Keytoti j and the main ledge Is thought to be In

BUMPTER, Or., Aug. IS. The low range
of mountains forming the divide between
Burnt River and Powder River Is drained
oa the Burnt River side by many streams
that In early days were profitably worked
tor placer gold. In most Instances they
have been worked out. and for the past
two years the miners and prospectors
have been at work In an endeavor to lo
cate the source of the gold. Up to the
present they have not been successful
to any extent, but the thorough investi
gation of the formations and conditions
has enabled a few to uncover veins which
plve much promise of richness and per
manency. On Continental Gulch, some 25 miles
south of east from Sumpter. the Keytoti
Bros, discovered, some two years ago, a
ledge In a contact of porphyry and lime
stone that they have been working suc
cessfully. At first the quartz was hauled
to Auburn Creek and washed through an
old arastra and gave good returns. It
was found that while the best values
wore In the quartz, the whole hillside.
consisting of tale and porphyry, carried
values. A Huntington mill and vanner
were installed, and for the past 60 days
they have been busy extracting gold In
paying quantities from what was con
sidered the waste dump. The extent ot
the deposit is not known, but has been
opened up about 75 feet in width and no
walls or barren places found. The ledge
ledges that are expected to' come together
with a little more depth.
Farther up on the south slope of Pedro
Mountain, "W". O. Reynolds, a well-known
mining man of the Sumpter district, Is
opening up the Leila and Granite claims.
A shaft is down 40 feet, where water was
encountered, and a tunnel is now being
run to drain the shaft. There is consid
erable milling ore on the dump, and a
force will be put to work stoplng as
soon as the shaft is drained.
The Gordon Reef claim, a quarter of a
mile from the Reynolds property, shows
up well, considering the limited amount
of work done. The ore Is high grade,
much running over $100 to the ton. Tile
Silver Blue, owned by H. B. Franz, hao
had some $5000 worth of work done on It,
but has not much ore stoped out, as It Is
a sliver and sold property, and Mr. Franz
Is hoping for the election of Mr. Bryan
and the restoration of the price of silver
This ore has been shipped to Boise,
worked in an arastra and stamp mill and
always paid, although much of the value
was lost In the concentrates.
This field is out of the mineral belt,
and has been almost entirely overlooked
by mining men of -modern Ideas In search
of properties. The territory is an ex
cellent field for the prospector and mining

BURNS, Or., Aug. 16. The ice caves of
Crook County are not the only curious
subterranean caverns of Eastern Oregon.
Harney County contains an interesting
cave also. Fifty-five miles, a little south
of east from Burns, is Malheur Cave,
which has been visited by many people
and has proved interesting to all. Its
peculiar form, as perfect as if laid out
by an engineer and chiseled through the
rock by a sculptor, makes it the wonder
of all wno see it.
In visiting this cave one comes to its
mouth right out In the "desert." One
might pass within a few yards of it and
not see It. Entering a dark, ugly hole
and walking down a gradual Incline' for
40 or 50 feet, one reaches a level floor of
rock, smooth as glass. Ra:slng the torch
a cavern about 60 feet wide, with walls
coming to an arch overhead, about 20 feet
at the highest point: is seen. This cav
ern can be followed for 300 yards without
a curve or turn. The floor continues
smooth and the perfectly formed walls
retain the same dimensions. Only at one
point Is there a small pile of shattered
rock fallen from the roof.
At the end of the 300 yards Is a 'clear
lake of water. Here a small rowboat Is
found anchored, and, taking passage on
this, one may continue the Journey In
the same direction Into the Interior. The
water Is shallow at first, until It becomes
practically immeasurable tfte entire width
of t.he cave. And the water is so clear
that its surface is almost indistinguish
able. One will walk Into it without
seeing It, and the torches reflect the bed
of the cave at a great deptn, the small
est object lying on the bottom looking
as natural as if close at hand. The
water never rises or falls, or changes its
character always the same temperature
and clear as a crystal, it has trie tem
perature of artesian water. At a distance
of 300 yads on the lake me end of the
cave Is reached, and the wall at the
end comes down like the arched walls,.
and Is lost in the depths of the water.
Here the water seems to be at Its great
est depth
There are many theories about the lake,
but after all It proves to be one of the
natural wonders of this great country
that awalt the exploration of science.
Malheur -River rises In tno mountains
above and flows along at the end of the
cave. The cave Is 600 yards long 300
yards of dry bottom and 300 yards of
water. Measurements have Deen made
from the mouth of the cave In a straight
line over the cavern, and It Is found that
the end of the cave comes near the
bed of the river. But here the bed or
the river, according to measurement. Is
much lower than the estimated surface
of the lake. and. besides, the river gets
very low in Summer and . the flow ot
water In the river is never greater below
the point of the cave lake than above.
The lake may be the outlet, or a part of
some other underground body of water,
but It is clear that It has no connection
with Malheur River.
Harney County leads the state in the
number of coyotes caprurea since the
bounty scalp law went into effect. With
the number presented at the1 last term
of the County Court, the total of S419
had been captured, demanding from the
state bounty the sum of $1S,SCS. At
the first term after the law went Into
effect May term. 1F93 3S9 scalps were pre
sented. In July, 10C7; September, 447;
November, 827; January, 1075; starch. 1913;
May, 2155, and July, 1536. The result Is
that after his vast number" has been de
stroyed, the prowling animal is seldom
seen in the day time, and his voice is
seldom heard at night. Sheepmen say
that with, a few more years of bounty
law his race would become practlcally

The report of the County Treasurer of
Harney County, Just filed, shows the
financial condition of the county to be
better than for years pas"t. A late call

knocked out several years of Indebted
ness at one fell swoop, and run her up
several notches In financial standing. A
few more years of economical adminis
tration of the county affairs and the
county will be entirely out of debt. J he
report Just filed shows the balance on
hand In the Treasurer's office as fol
lows: County fund $12,077 84
School fund 2,870 4C
Building fund 403 43
Road fund 4.003 88

This, with a few minor funds, makes
a total balance on hand of $21,233 73.
The stock Industry Is pre-eminent In
Harney County. Over C00 brands, Im
printed on sole leather, decorate the walls
of the Clerk's office. Some of these
brands only represent a few hundred
head of horses and cattle, while some
of them represent thousands. To form
an Idea of what the stock Industry In
this county means, a conservative esti
mate places tho income of the people of
this county from the sale of stock alone
at the sum of $1400 every year for every
voter in the county. More men are enter
ing Into the business annually, the grade
of stock is being improved, and Harney
claims that she will continue to lead In
the procession as Oregon's stock county,
although there Is a rapid forward move
ment all along the line in Eastern Ore
gon. The sale of horses to the Government Is
still going on here. The prices range
from $35 to $65. It Is claimed that the
horses raised In the high altitude of
Eastern Oregon make the finest cavalry
horses In the world.

TEASELS STILIj PROFITABLE.
Modern Methods Necessnry to Get the
Best Ont of the Industry.
OREGON CITY, Aug. 19. Tho produc
tion of teasels Is receiving a new im
petus In Clackamas County through Im
proved methods In handling the crop.
For many years A. J. Sawtell, of Mo
lalla, successfully conducted a teasel
farm, but retired after acquiring a com
petency, although he suffered some loss
for the last two or three years that he
was in the business, partly on account of
tbe use of a metal substitute" that now
takes the place of the natural teasel In
raising the nap on some kinds of manu
factured goods. Two brothers, named
Gregory, arrived from Skaneateles, N. T.,
about four years ago, and have made a
very promising beginning In producing
teasels. Shaneateles became a thriving
town through the prosperity of the teasel
Industry. The father owned a teasel
farm, and tho boys served apprentice
ships in the business, dating from early
childhood. As new methods were learned
thay became a part of the business. S.
E. Gregory, of Carus, nas completed the
harvesting of his 40-acre crop of teasels,
and estimates the total product at 32.000
pounds. Teasls bring in the Eastern
market or at the woolen mills 5 to 9 cents
per pound. Computing his total crop at
7 cents a pound, the total receipts for
the 40-acre crop would be $22-50, or If
he only received 5 cents per pound, the
minimum price, the proceeds would be
$1600. It costs about 4 cents per pound
to 'raise, cure, prepare and pack the
teasels for market.
The seed is planted In hills like corn
and thoroughly cultivated, but does not
produce a crop until the second year.
The stalks have then reached their ma
turity, and die after the crop Is gathered.
The ground, however, can be kept in
constant production by planting nev
hills between the old growth of 3talks
every Spring, as long as It Is desired
continuously to raise teasels on the same
land. The teasel3 grow to the average
height of about four feet, and are har
vested by clipping the burr from the
stalk with shears. . Mr. Gregory paid
this season about $400 for 'cutting the
crop, the beglnnegs earning. 75 cents
to $2 per day. A number of young girls
made from 75 cents to $1 a day, receiving
7 cents for a three-busnel basket of the
burrs. This was a material help to
small farmern 'n the neighborhood, who
had a short wheat crop, giving their
families employment before the hop
picking season. Mr. Gregory has al
ready paid out several hundred dollars
for help In raising the crop, and his ex
pense Is not yet over for help, as the
teasel burrs have to be trimmed around
the stems as soon as they have dried
sufficiently, graded as to sizes, and
packed In cases ready for shipment to
Eastern factories.
-easels aro always a euro crop on this
Coast, as they never Winter-kill, as Is
occasionally the case in the East. The
demand Is regulated by the kind of goods
the mills are running on, the metal sub
stitute not doing the required work on J
some cloths. If a considerable portion
of the ctop lr. the East should Winter
kill during any season, then there Is an
urgent demand for the Oregon teasel
at a high price. There is an especial
demand for the small Oregon teasel in the
East, as the fingers on the burr are stir
rer than the New England product. Only
certain soils are favorable to the produc
tion of teasels. Here the attendant con
ditions are best In a clay subsoil. Mr.
Gregory expects to Increase his produc
tion to 80 acres next year. His brother
Is carrying on the business on an equal
scale at Molalla.
complaint has been mado. The entries of
livestock for exhibition have already been
numerous enough to take up all the avail
able stalls, and many more entries will
be made. But the board will not let a
lack of room prevent stock from being
entered for exhibition at the fair. Presi
dent Wehrung, Secretary Wisdom, and
H.. L. Rees, came to Salem last evenings
to look over the grounds and make ar
rangements for the construction of as
many more stalls as may be needed. They
will remain here until Tuesday evening,
and will order several Improvements that
are made necessary by the Increase in
entries for the races and exhibits. Tho
machinery shed will probably bo en
larged and some Improvements will ba
made in the pavilion. Secretary Wisdom
will remove his office to Salem about Sep
tember 1, and will remain here until after
the fair. Both President Wehrung and
Secretary Wisdom will devote their wholo
time from now until September 17 to tha
work of preparing for the greatest Stata
Fair Oregon has even known.
CANNERY MAKES A MARKET.
Prevents Glnt in Frntt Scnson nnd
Distributes Products.
SALEM, Aug. 19. "The cannery Is the
most Important industrial Institution Sa
lem has," said J. W. Cardwell, a Kaiser
Bottom fruitgrower, today. "It's Import
ance Is not so much In the wages It pays
to employes, but in the market it makes
for our fruit products. During the several
years the cannery was idle we could not
dispose of our fruit at any price for the
local consumption was not sufficient to
take up the supply. Now we can sell
all our fruit, at fair prices, to the can
nery, and we get a better price for what
we sell for local consumption. I have
six acres here, planted principally to
fruit. This year I put in an acre of peas
for the cannery. The seed cost me $6; I
did all the work myseir, In addition to
caring for my orchard, and sold the peas
for $50. I therefore got $44 for the acre
of peas. We growers who have small
tracts must depend upon selling every
thing we raise in order to make ends
meet.
"I am now gathering my pears. They
are of medium quality, about such as
every other grower raises. I cull out a
few of the rough ones and the cannery
pays $12 per ton for the remainder. It
pays to raise pears at that price, if we
have a ready market, such as the cannery
affords. What do I do with the culls?
Well, from present Indications, there
won't be much profit in them. If I can
get some man who has a prune dryer to
dry them for me, I can sell them for 8
cents a pound, which will be a very profit
able price. Dried pears make a very pal
atable fruit, and have a fair sale. But
whether I sell the culls or not. the pears
the cannery will buy will make the crop
pay. Those who have large orchards can
ship their fruit fresh and, perhaps, make
it pay, but we small growers must have
a local market or go out of business."
"Not room enough" Is the complaint now
being made to the State Board of Agri
culture by those who wish to exhibit live
stock at the coming State Fair. This Is
