THEORY WAS RIGHT Led to Discovery of a Lost Gold Shoot ORE RDNS $1009 TO THE TON s Tlifs Good rortnne In the Goldontla Has Caused Considerable ExClte Sncnt In the Sniupter Camp Work In ProgreK. BAKER CITY, May 15. A message from Sumpter says that Superintendent Melkle. f the Golconda mine, Eent In wnie samples of ore todav tthlch he look from a winze on the 200-foot level that assay J1CO0 to the ton. Some years ago the Engltehee, the former owners of the mine, optned up a rich chute which con tained ore equal in value to this. Their theory was that the vein or chimney dipped to the south, hut they failed to And it by drifting In that direction on the 200, 400 or 500-foot levels. Superin tendent Melkle, after examining the mine carefully, came to the conclusion that the vein dipped to the north from the 200 foot level, and, acting on that theory, he started a winze on the 200-foot level dip ping northward, and yesterday had the satisfaction of knowing that his theory v.as correct becaure the rich ore body was again encountered. He has started to drift to the north from the 200-foot level, but has not got in far enough ae yet to ctrlke the ore. He is confident, however, that he will strike It. This strike, or rather the rediscovery of a lost ore hody, has caused much excitement In the camp. TESTING INTERESTING THEORY. Hovr to Keep the Rich Streak In the Golconda. SUMPTER, Or., May 15. Manager Melkle, of the Golconda mine. Is testing a very Interesting theory regarding the dimensions of the famous Golconda ore shoot, which startled the Northwest In 1899. Jt was. struck on the 200-foot level, and ?r a distance of 120 feet a ledge averaging IS feet was entirely stoped be tween the walls, and found to he enor mously rich. The first of the shoot was struck at the convergence of a small vein with the big east vein. It continued In both these veins till they met again, 120 feet distant. Drifting south of that point Was continued nearly 300 feet, and also north. The former management did not seem to get the dip of the shoot from the stoplng done from the 200-foot level up, as on the next level the drifts were all made to the south, and so on in the 400-foot level. From the observations made by Mr. Melkle when he examined the mine, he concluded that the rich shoot dipped to the north, as It occurred at the converg ence of the two veins, and while the strike of these brought them together on the 200-foot level, they dipped east and west, thus causing the point of converg ence ut the north end to extend further north as depth was attained. This theory is supported by the discoveries of ore In the bottom of the 200-foot level, and also by the fact that all to the south had been drifted upon, while to the north no drift ing had been done on the big east vein under the 20Moot level. Development Is cow being pressed to demonstrate these conclusions. Good ore is already being found on the third level, where the drift Is approaching the point, according to Mr. Melkle's calculations, that the shoot should be struck. In several parts of the mine good ore has been found in encouraging quantities. The drifts are to test its extent. There seems every probability that the mill will resume before a great length of time. Milling ore Is belnc blocked out. At the Columbia mine work has been resumed, with a partial force of work men. This properly has not been doing much during the latter part of the Winter, though it had an enormous ore shoot blocked out, and ready for the excellent 20-stamp mill. More than a week ago work -was resumed, and shortly thereafter ceased because the wood supply ran short, owing to snow blocking the way. Disap pearing snow has enabled Mapager B&lllle, to open up again, and in the meantime he has put a considerable force of men to constructing a new road into a belt of timber owned by the company. RICH ROARING GIMLET. Excellent Gold-Producer In Southern Oreffon. GOLD HILL, Or., May 11 Captain Meh denhall, the owner of the Roaring Gimlet mine, two miles outh of town, today Lrought in 20 pounds of amalgam, being the result of three days work on the vein. This amount of gold was saved by simple panning, the tailings of which are saved and milled, and usually run several hundred dollars per ton. Mr. Mendenhall has taken out about ?30,C00 since he bought the property, some 60 days ago. Aside from this rich pay streak there is a great Quantity of good milling ore, which mills fa to $10 per ton.. Union Recognised Strike Off. BUTTE, Mont, May 15. A special o the Miner from Blackfoot, Idaho, says that the miners of the White Knob Min ing Company today declared off the strike which has been In force for the past sev eral weeks. The company has granted recognition of the union, and has con sented to employ none but union miners. Over 100 men were out, and the mine was tied lib. Unprofitable Strike In Mine. BAKER CITY, May 15. The miners at the- Badger mine all went out on a strike today The cause t)f the trouble was a disagreement between the manager and the men about working In a wet tunnel. The men wanted fewer hours and more pay for work in this tunnel, but the man ager refused to grant their requests. The matter will probably soon be adjusted. KEWS OF ASTORIA.

Prcubytcriftn Now Methodist, Catho lic and Episcopalian to Re Added. SUMPTER, Or., May 15.-Sumpter is now promised three new churches. This remarkable activity in the religious world Is not due to any yawning need for moral Instruction, as residents of this city be lieve themselves religiously equal to any other city of the same population, not withstanding the mining atmosphere pre vailing hereabouts. But the church move ment Is accredited to growth, evidence of permanency. Till date only one de nomination, the Presbyterian, has seen fit to erect a bouse of worship here, the oth- 1 er denominations using the Opera-House or other convenient hall for worship. Methodists have just broken ground for their building. They contemplate i sub stantial church, of 4500 to $3000 cost Archbishop A. Christie, of the Oregon diocese, was recently here In the Interest of the Catholic faith, one of the Important features of his work being arrangements for a Catholic Church.

At the present time Rev. M. G. Goodheart, covering this missionary dis trict, and formerly located at Canyon City, is making headquarters in Sump-J ter. There are several members of this t faith In Sumpter, and they are eagerly working to secure a house of worship. Canyon City has an Episcopal Church, erected many years ago, but Sumpter now has a larger number of the faith, which has been the cause for the establishment of headquarters here.
