FRUITFUL JOHN DAY
Mines, Ranges, Farms, For
ests and Climate.
MOUNTAIN AND VALLEY YIELD
But Transportation Facilities Are
Needed to Develop the Resources
of the Country Easy Route
to Build a Railroad.
E. B. Cleaver, the well-known mining
jnan, who has spent most of his life In
the John Day country. Is In Portland, and
even more enthusiastic than usual re
garding: the resources of that country.
He has taken particular Interest In the
great region to the southward of Canyou
City in the past few years, and says ho
is afraid to tell the truth about the riches
of that section. There Is a large tract
of yellow pine covering the headwaters of
the middle fork of the Malheur, the Sil
vles and Canyon Creek, and the minerals
of that country are beyond belief.
"To tell the exact truth about the rich
ness and extent of the ore bodies there
would make one ridiculous In the eyes ot
mining experts," said 3Ir. Cleaver.
"Therefore, we have to temper our state
ments a good deal, and keep constantly
below the facts in order that outsiders
may believe us. "What Is needed to de
velop the country Is a railroad, and wo
need that badly. There is gold, silver, cop
per, iron, coal and timber In great quan
tities to get to smelter and to markeu
And the Upper John Day Is one of the
most beautiful and productive farming
sections lying out of doors. Capital la
now taking hold of the country, and, with
adequate transportation facilities, there
would be a great and lasting boom.
"The middle fork of the John Day and
its tributaries lie between Greenhorn
Mountain and Dixie Butte, and is noted
for the celebrated Susanville district, ot
which the leading mines are the Badger,
Bull of the Woods, Sky Scraper and nu
merous others, this being a district In
which there Is a great deal of high-grade
gold ore and some copper.
"On the Dixie Mountain slope, which is
a continuation of the Quartzburg district
from the south, there are various copper
prospects. The whole watershed of the
middle fork of the John Day, in fact, both
north and middle forks, are covered with
yellow pine timber, which will average
of eaw timber about 2.000,000 feet to the
section, clear of underbrush, and easy of
access.
"The John Day "Valley as a whole, In
cluding the Strawberry and Dayville ov
sandstone belt. Is G3 miles long, and has
an average width of nine miles clear ot
timber, the river bottom lands, or garden
lands, an average width of two mllca.
The river bottom lands will produce any
kind of fruits, such as apples, pears, cher
ries and peaches In some seasons. This
is what we call the Strawberry Valley.
The Dayville or Sandstone belt will pro
duce any kind of fruits, and peaches of
the very finest. The land at present la
used principally for hay, alfalfa and clo
ver, of which very large crops are pro
duced, especially In alfalfa, three crops
being raised in a season by Irrigation. The
open hill lands or rolling lands will pro
duce the finest of grain and apples by irri
gation, and there is more than an abund
ance of water for that purpose. The val
ley, commencing at its head, for 25 mllea
Is covered with a heavy growth of yellow
pine timber, suitable for milling purposes.
In the Strawberry "Valley proper, there
are 11 streams of water flowing into the
John Day, either of which would give
enough water power to run a large quart
mill. By connecting the four upper
streams by ditches, there can be hao,
above Prairie City 12 miles, a water power
equal to COW horse-power. Such water
could be used time and again in the dif
ferent streams after it had been used at
the first station.
"Prairie City is situated In the center
of the Strawberry Valley, due north eight
miles from Strawberry Mountain and sev
en miles due south of Dixie Mountain.
Dixie Creek flows due north and south,
and comes Into the John Day River at
Prairie City. The Quartzburg mining
camp is situated on Dixie Creek, about
six miles from Pralrlo City.
Geological Formations.
"The rock formations on the north side
of the John Day River commence at the
town. First comes a lava formation, next
a granite of very fine quality, suitable
for building purposes. In this granite
there are a few ledges of white quartz,
very rich in free gold,
"Dixie Creek Itself was at one time one
of the best placer camps on the Pacific
Coast, it having been washed out from
Prairie City to Quartzburg. The Quartz
burg camp of ledges are of two classes.
One class of narrow ledges on the surface
runs from nine inches to two feet, is very
rich In both gold and silver, and yields
an average of $50 to $100 per ton. The
smaller ledges run north and south to the
main ledl$esf,Iofi the camp, which run
northwest and southeast. The smaller
ledges, such as are found In the Present
ICeed mine, the Keystone, the Colorado,
the Little Denver, Bison and the Cougar,
as far as the present developments show,
Increase in value and width very fast as
depth is gained. For Illustration, take
the workings in the Present Need mine.
At the surface the pay streak is not over
six inches wide. At a depth of 125 feet It
averages 20 inches wide. The ores have
changed from an oxidized to a baser ore,
carrying a great deal of arsenic and some
lead, but Its gold and silver values, prin
cipally gold, have more than doubled. The
principal work being done on these ledges
until recently has been done by old placer
minors, who were simply trying to work
out grubstakes, and not to develop the
property. The large ledges running east
and nest are as rich as ever known for
the amount of work being done and for
the width of the ledge.
"The Quartzburg camp covers more ter
ritory and will make a better surface
Bhowlng for the amount of work done
than the camp at Butte, Mont. The
length of this district is not really known,
as nothing is located and no prospecting
done whore the ledges do not crop out
of the surface.
"As to wagon roads,, you can take a
team and drive from Prairie City to any
of the mines In these districts within an
liour. It would be perfectly feasible to
build an electric railway so as to tap the
qntire camp and bring It out at Prairie
City at a water level.
"Now, commencing at Prairie City and
going south between the Strawberry
Mountains, first comes about eight miles
of farming lands, then as you strike
Strawberry Mountain there is allme bolt.
This Is formed from warm springs, which
are still running. The lime rock when
burnt produces the finest lime we have
on tho Coast. "We also have next to this
lime belt some bods of gypsum. Next to
the beds of gypsum comes a serpentine
formation, but this breaks off against a
gray porphyry formation, still going
south. The next formation we encounter
is slate, but between these prophyry and
slate formations is the largest ledge of
gold-bearing quartz known up to the
present time. This ledge we call the Ore
gon Wonder. It can be traced or walked
upon virtually for 12 miles In length,
commencing at the end of the serpentine
belt and running In a southeasterly direc
tion the entire distance across the site
of Strawberry Mountain. Logan Moun
tain and Slide Mountain. Strawberry
Mountain Is 11,000 feet high, and both Slide
and Logan over S00D feet.
"This ledge is between perfect contacts
of slate and porphyry. At ono place this
ledge stands 300" feet high, 600 feet wide
and 3000 feet long of solid quartz.
"We have had a large number of assays
made of this body of ore, and they have
run from 40 cents to 1S. We do not
know what we have got in this property,
as it will take an immense amount of
money to sample and test It, but If it
will carry a $3 value It will be the largest
mine in the known world. This ledge Is on
the north side of the Strawberry Moun
tain. Immediately west of Strawberry
Mountain Is a very large elevation, known
as Canyon Mountain. This mountain is
badly broken up. In it a great deal of
quartz is found of the same character in
appearance as the Oregon Wonder, some
of It carrying large quantities of free
gold in sight to the naked eye. This
mountain Is known as one of the best
pocket mining camps on the Pacific
Coast.
Rich. Placer of Early Days.
"At the west side of this mountain
comes Canyon Creek, which, from its
mouth at John Day City up the creek for
about 11 miles, was the richest placer
ever known. In early days men took out,
when they struck their pay chute, an
ounce of gold to a shovelful. This old
placer camp Is now bonded to a dredging
company, but immediately south of this
mountain lies an Immense copper belt,
running northwest and southeast, known
as the Will Cleaver Copper belt, which is
16 miles long, and a mile to two wide. The
deepest workings of this belt Is a shaft
of 21 feet In ore, in which samples give
an average of 540 in gold and 6 per cent
copper. The lowest assay that has been
taken in this shaft is $26 in gold and S
per cent "copper; the highest, 5140 In gold
and 22 per cent copper. The Will Cleaver
group -consists of 26 claims, with four
parallel ledges running full length of six
claims each. These ledges show a width
of three to six feet each at the different
places on tho different claims. Thirty
sample sacks of ore taken from the sur
face, before any work was done, gave
an average assay of 57 S3 In gold and 4
per cent copper.
"My description of this country from
Prairie City south can be applied In
places running in the same direction
without a break through to the Nevada
line; in other words, running south from
Strawberry Mountain there is a belt of
granite, a belt of slate and an ore belt.
"Lying on the south fork of the John
Day there is an Immense quartz con
glomerate formation, large dikes of quartz
conglomerate lying there between slate
and sandstone or granite or slate. The
immensity of these dykes of ore Is simply
appalling. South of the John Day Valley,
or the headwaters of the Malheur and
Sllvles Rivers, or the headwaters of Can
yon Creek, lies practically an- unknown
country. On the heaawaters of these
streams is one of the greatest pine belts
on the Pacific Coast.
Thick: Coal Cropping.
"In the western part of the John Day
Valley coal crops out in tho rjver bed and
on its banks at different places in the
river for 45 miles. This stratai of coal will
vary in width. At one place on the Ald
rlch ranch there are three strata, with
sandstone between, the lower strata being
about six feet thick, the center strata
about three feet, and the upper about
four feet. On the side of the mountain
it can be easily located by the springs
coming out of the mountain for miles.
These springs, as well as the coal in the
side of the river banks, are covered with
an oily substance. This coal land, part
of which Is Government land, part owned
by settlers and part belonging to The
Dalles military wagon-road grant. A
great many of the farmers and miners In
that vicinity are using this coal in their
blacksmith forges, and some have used
it for household purposes in their wood
stoves, and It makes very little ash.
"A little south and a few miles east of
this camp, on what Is known as Bald
Mountain, there have been some very
high-grade telluriums found in blind
ledges, and somo have run as high as
$32,000 to the ton.
"I believe that every mine In the base
ore district In Eastern Oregon and West
ern Oregon will show a high-grade cop
per whenever they get depth. As a rea
son for making this statement, I cite the
Baisley-Elkhorn mine, near Baker City.
This mine on the surface shows very rich
in a free-gold oxydlzed ore. At a depth
of 400 feet it has turned to a base ore,
being In a white iron, carrying as high as
$200 in cold and 24 ounces in sliver, and
has one pay chute carrying equally high
in gold and silver and 17 per cent copper.
This ore resembles In appearance very
much the Le Roi of British Columbia.
There are a very great many prospects
being developed in the Granite and Red
Boy districts that are showing 2 to 4
per cent copper.
Chance for Railroad.
"Any railroad leaving Ontario, on tho
Snake River, anywhere near the mouth
of the Malheur, can follow up tho Mal
heur River to Willow Creek, up Willow
Creek to its head, and over tb the head
waters of the John Day above Prairie
City, and have but one mountain pass,
and that one low enough for a team to
trot over. From the head of the John
Day it Is a water grade to the Columbia
River. The first 65 miles of that grade
down the John Day River Is through
meadow lands. There would be one tun
nel, aosslbly of 200 feet.
"The road down the John Day Valley,
I am told by railroad engineers, iseasy
to build. This would make connection
between the O. R. & N. at the Columbia
River, and the Oregon Short Line at On
tario, shorter by about 75 miles than the
present line, and with only one low
mountain pass to climb Instead of three as
the present O. R. & N. has, this divide
being lower and easier of access than
either of the three of the O. R. & N.
This road would also pass through an im
mense timber belt and mining and stock
raising country, which will eventually be
one of the greatest fruit and grain dis
tricts in Eastern Oregon.
"If the road were to pass Into the John
Day Valley at the upper end and turn
south, it could go out about three miles
below John Day City, through the Lacock
Pass and on down through Bear Valley,
Sllvles Valley and into Harney Valley,
which Is SO miles long and 40 miles wide.
This valley will eventually be one of the
greatest grain and stockralslng districts
In the State, of Oregon, it being a sage
brush country, which could be Irrigated
from Bear Valley at a trifling expense in
proportion to the results that would bo
obtained.
"We have in the John Day Valley any
quantity of lime, both chrome and hema
tite Iron ore. gold, 6llver, copper and lead
ore. coal, marble, sandstone, granite, tim
ber, grain, hay, fruit, sheep, cattle and
horses. We are blessed with plenty of
water for Irrigation and power purposes.
"What we need is capital, people and
transportation."

RACE QUESTION IN SOUTH
rr IS AS MUCH ALIVE as eves, ajtd
IS GR-OWTXG "WORSE.
Everywhere the Colored Population
Is Forcibly Reminded That It
Mast "Keep in. Its Place."
HOUSTON, Tex., Dec. S3, In making a
trip through the South, tho race question
Is dally, almost hourly, called to the
Northerner's attention. Immediately on
entering the railroad station here' the eye
of tho observing traveler is attracted by
such signs as this: "For white men," And
a fenced-off end of the day coach on the
train Just left is plainly marked thus:
"Colored." Everywhere the color and
race line Is drawn with apparent de
termination to continually remind the
black man that he must "keep in his
place," and to do that, as viewed by a
great many ex-slaveholders, he must
simply remain, as a servant, an Inferior
being, and, to all Intents and purposes, a
slave In fact.
The political and social aspects of the
great race question are. steadily growing
more irritating in many quarters, and
prominent ex-slaveholders are frequently
conjecturing regarding 'ultimate results
and Issues.
There are counties in Texas where the
colored voters outnumber the white men
two and three to one. Gradually the col
ored voter Is familiarizing himself with
the power of the franchise, and several
prominent white men professional men
and business men were asked what would
result if colored men, for Instance, were
elected to all county offices In one of
these top-heavy colored counties of the
Lone Star State.
"Such a thing is not going to happen,"
is the usual reply.
"But suppose It does happen?"
"Well, it won't. It never has and it
never will. The colored class, or what
we call 'niggers,' know and realize this
Just as well as we do. They are learn
ing that they must keep In tneir place
or suffer tho consequences."
"But, for the sake of the argument,
suppose some of the colored leaders or
ganized one of your counties and elected
a colored set of officers throughout. What
would you whites do about it."
"It will never come about. If there
really was any danger all that would be
necessary would be to buy up a few of
tho leaders and the negroes would come
our way. We do that way now when it
is desired, but as a rule we don't want
to mix with "the blacks. I employ many
of them, and whenever they ask me about
voting I tell them to go vote the Repub
lican ticket and stay where they belong.
We do not want them In the party with
which we affiliate."
"If the colored voters actually did put
up and elect a colored ticket In your
county, what would be the result. Face
the music and favor me with a direct
answer, if you. please."
"If I am to answer an Impossible sup
position, I will say that a riot would
result, many 'niggers' would be missing,
and, perhaps, some of the whites would
remove elsewhere. Wo will not tolerate
'nigger domination. The 'nigger
knows this. He Is learning his lesson. It
is well that he should. We are his best
friends. We know him. We know where
he belongs. We treat him belter than he
would be treated by tho Northern, people
under like circumstances."
This particular man is a prominent
Texas business man, the son of a slave
holder and a man who was brought up on
a Southern plantation. He has a family
and has a comfortable fortune, the result
of his own individual efforts, the war be
tween the North and the South having
devastated and destroyed the family es
tates. The additional questions asked him
may prove interesting to those of The
Oregonlan's readers who perused its re
cent editorial on the South and the reply
of a correspondent who freely abused the
editor and branded him a coward, etc
"You favor the Republican policy or
protection, expansion and sound money,"
the ex-planter's son was reminded, "and
yet you voted fof Bryan. How about it?"
"Simply the 'nigger.' "
"Why the colored man always?"
"We don't mix, under present condi
tions, and we are continually offended by
the appointment of 'niggers' to Federal
office. It's a disgrace and a shame. 1
admit that I am and that a great many
of our white people are practically Re
publicans. We favor and approve of Re
tiubllcan doctrines and were forced
(foahced) to swallow such demagogues as
Bryan on account of the 'nigger.' "
"Why four years ago a prominent man,
Mr , president of the National
Bank, voted for McKlnley. He would not
then bring himself to vote for Bryan. He
and others then talked of fixing up the
'nigger matter and securing recognition
from the Republican party, all looking to
bringing us closer to tho advocates of the
Issues we at heart support. This ban
president thought he had done a great
thing. We patted him on the back, but
we voted for Bryan all the same. He was.
a sort of patriot, a man of great will
power and Individuality, and all that.
Ha, ha!
"Later on, however, a big 'nigger
stepped Into his bank and demanded to
know if he had a right, a license, to run
that bank. My friend said he had, that
he managed his business In accordance
with the law. Of course, he was astound
ed by the affrontery of the negro, but he
Is a thorough gentleman, and he kept
quiet and acted in a dignified manner,
throughout."
" 'Lemme see your license,' demanded
the 'nigger.'
" Td like to know your authority for
making such a request,' replied my friend,
the banker. He was growing angry, ana
just what would have resulted may bo
guessed or not, but the fact Is another
officer of the bank Interposed and tools
the McKlnley. appointee aside and ad
justed matters.
"The president of the bank afterwards
stated that he had enough of Republican
Ism and 'niggers.' To think of appointing
a 'nigger' to come to hs bank and demand
office Information and Issue commands to
him nearly distracted him, and this year
lie voted for Bryan and all that that
means. This is only an instance to show
how we feel. .
"Really, I cannot understand why the
Republican party does not consider the
Southern Democrat and prepare the way
for him to enter the party of protection,
expansion and the gold standard. We
would be glad to Join the Republican par
ty, but but there's the 'nigger. I reallzo
that the Republican party owes him some
thing, but it owes the white man of the"
South something, also.
"Looking backward, I should say It
would have been much better If we haa
sold our slaves and avoided the war and
the enfranchisement of. a race that, with
few exceptions, was not ready to vote.
The Republican policy of granting th
franchlse to and allowing a hand In the
Government to the natives In the Philip
pines when they are prepared to accept
the same is all right, and if we had had
something of that kind in the South the
present bitter feeling would have, I be
lieve, been partially, at least, avoided.
"As It Is.the race question in the South
is as much alive as ever, and .Is growing
worse." GRAY LOCK.

UNITED STATES IN LEAD'
LIKELY TO BE "WORLD'S: GREATEST
EXPORTING NATION IN 1000.
Has Good Start Over United KIb-
doa, Xts Competitor Progress e
Ttveaty-Ave "Tears.
WASHINGTON, Dec 23. The United
States seems likely to stand at the head
of the world's list of exporting nations
In the year 1900. One by one the great
nations have fallen behind in the race for
this distinction, until during the past five
years only the United Kingdom and tho
United States could be considered as com
petitors for tho distinction of being the
world'3 greatest exporter of articles of
home production. In ISJi the United
Kingdom led the United States by nearly
$2.000.000, and in 1S97 the United States
had so rapidly gained that she was but
$60,000,000 behind.
In 1S98 the United States took first
place, our exports in that year exceeding
those of the United Kingdom by nearly
$100,000,000. In 1S39 the United Kingdom
again stood at the head of the
list, her exports exceeding those
of the United States by nearly $35,000,000.
In the 11 months of 1M0 whose figures
have been received by the Treasury Bu
reau of Statistics the domestic oxports of
the United States exceed those of the
United Kingdom by $5,473,670, and should
this rate of gain be maintained In De
cember, the United States will In the year
1500 show a larger exportation of domes
tic products than any other nation in the
world.
Even this distinction, however, of head
ing the world's list of exporting nations
but partially tells the story ot the won
derful growth of our export trade as
measured by that of- other nations. Com
paring the growth of our exports during
the last quarter of the century with those
of the other great nations of the world,
we are able better to measure the won
derful progress shown. France shows no
increase In her exports of domestic mer
chandise In the closing quarter of the
century; Germany shows during the same
period an increase of about 0 per cent,
and the United Kingdom shows from 1875
to 1900 an Increase of nearly 40 per cent.
while the United States shows during that
time an increase of practically 200 per
cent.
The following table, compiled from offi
cial reports, shows the exports of do
mestic merchandise from the United
States and the United Kingdom, respect
ively. In each calendar year from 1S75
to 1SS9, and 11 months of the year 1900:

Appropriations In tlie Sonse BUI.
HDL.LSBORO, Or., Dec. 27. (To the Ea.
ltor.) Relative to the appropriation for
the Spokane exhibit for the year 1902, it
seems to me our Congressmen received
but scant credit, if not downright dis
courtesy, at your hands in your short ed
itorial comment in the issue of this date.
"When you consider their indefatigable ef
forts in behalf of Oregon's rivers and har
bors, and the more than magnificent and
generous appropriation secured to our
state as compared with the appropriation
secured by Washington's Congressmen, 1
do not feel that there Is a true Oregonian
who can offer a word of censure or dis
credit against any of our Congressmen.
Compare, if you please, the amount se
cured for the Improvement of the Colum
bia River and bar and "Willamette River
alone, with the appropriation for the
whole State of, "Washington's rivers and
harbors, and I feel assured you will with
draw your hasty censure of our Congress
men, as set forth In today's Issue. It
may not be amiss to publish again the
appropriations as recently passed by Con
gress: For the stata of Washington, rivers
and harbors $130,600
Spokane mineral exhibit 250,000
Oregon's rivers and harbors are given a
total of $2,340,500, itemized as follows:
Mouth of Columbia $1,500,000
Columbia at cascades 30,000
Upper Columbia and SnaKe 10,000
Willamette and Columbia below Port
land 225.000
Willamette above Portland, Yamhill.. 32,000
Revetment below Independence 25.000
Revetment opposite Corvallls 12,500
Coqulllo River below Coqullle City... 40.000
Sluslaw River 28,000
Tillamook .Harbor 25,000
Columbia Rler between Vancouver
and Willamette River 8.000
Long Tom River 1.000
Gauging Columbia 1,000
Coos River 1.500
Clatskanle River 1.000
Has it been so long a time that The
Oregonian has forgotten, that Mr. Tongue
took the Initiative and wrote a letter to
the Portland Chamber of Commerce, ask
ing if he could not favor the City ot
Portland and the Pacific Northwest by
endeavoring to secure an appropriation
for an industrial fair to be held in the
City of Portland? "Will you kindly read
the letter, its reply, and your comments
upon It and rewrite your short editorial
anent the Spokane mineral exhibit appro
priation? J. P- TA1HESIE.
