Description of Deposits.
BAKER CITY. Or.. April JS.-fSpecial.)
With the progress of development In tho
copper belt, and tho announcement made
by Eastern capitalists that a smelter
-Rill be erected in event tho Eagle Val
ley road 1b not constructed, new activity
is noticeable in all the copper mines. That
the belt is a true and valuable copper
formation is believed by the men who arc
putting their money Into the deep shafts.
Tho belt Trill produce tons upon tons
of native copper ore at a small cost. This
native copper ore zone extends down
ward for various depths, varying with
the contour of the surface.
The belt which is well defined and
which has been variously reported upon,
extends from near Haines in an easterly
direction to the Seven Devils in Idaho.
3t carries values in copper, gold and sil
ver, according to depth and formation.
On the surface it ls the richest cop
jier belt ever opened In the West. At
the western terminus the copper ls found
in a native state. The belt here is not
so well denned, but toward the Medical
Springs country the outcropplngs are
more frequent and the limits of the belt
more clearly defined. An immense wall
of limestone, commonly termed the
"limedykc." without which there never
can be true copper deposit, ls well de
Jined Just back of the belt. In some
localities it rises for hundreds of feet
above the belt. This limedyke Is clearly
marked from tho Medical Springs country
to the east through Burkemont and then
drops towards the mountain range past
Copper Butte, where It strikes Goose
Creek.
Huns Along Goose Crccfc.
Goose Creek is a small stream rising to
tho southwest of Eagle Mountains and
forks back of Copper Butte, one fork
flowing across to the Lower Powder
"River and the other in a northeasterly
direction to the Snake River. The "Bme
dyke past Copper Butte follows the north
bank of the north fork of Goose Creek,
and is well defined clear to the Seven
Devils.
Along this entire distance the copper
indications are marked and rich. On the
western end of the belt the copper is
found In a "fire rock." the ore carry
ing from 53 to U a ton in gold and from
3 to G per cent in copper. Towards
Medical Springs tho sulphides are more
noticeable and are found in closer prox
imity to the limedyke. The dip of the
strata ls northeasterly at a small degree
toward the abutting limedyke. In the
sulphide zone the copper values are
greater than In the "fire rock."
The rock continues about the same
from Medical Springs to Burkemont,
where the interest is now centered in the
North American Mining Company's new
shaft through the native copper. This
haft ls now down 223 feet, of which 75
feet Is through a solid bed of native cop
per ore. This rock has a slight dip
towards the limedyke and at the bottom
of the shaft are appearances of sulphides.
Water indications are growing stronger,
and it Is believed that the water will be
reached within the next WO feet.
Found True Copper Vein.
This belt in the vicinity of Burkemont
has a width of about half a mile. On
a. prospect in this vicinity about 30 years
ago a miner named Nelson, while search
ing for gold, followed a true and well
defined copper seam appearing in red
oxide for a depth of about SO feeL This
scam had an Incline of about 60 degrees
toward the limedyke. The copper bear
ing seam, which was aboutv two Inches
wide, ran SO per cent in copper. This
is the only place on the belt on the Ore
gon side of the Snake where a true copper
toam or shoot has been discovered.
From the discover- of this copper seam
in the Burkemont district mining men
bold that the deposit of native copper
has been caused by volcanic action below
and not by erosion, and that after the
water level is reached the true sulphides
will be encountered. This theory seems
to bo substantiated by the nature of the
copper deposits found in the Seven Dev
ils across the river in Idaho. The belt,
which dips to the Snake River. Is of the
same formation as that of the Idaho Sev
en Devils. Over on tho Idaho side there
are two or threo lns with n-n.v
ro shoots, all having the incline In the
Mme senerai airecuon.
The true contact called for by experts
is to bo found In this belt and the ore is
the same as that of TCnrtho viih
except that conglomerates have not as
jet been discovered in the Oregon belt.
It Is not believed lht thr nt- o.,,.
conglomerates hero, for the reason that
the native copper in the Igneous rock Is
found so near the surface and as ho sul
phides are close to tho limedyke. But the
amygdaloid are found in both the Seven
ipmis in jflano and In the Eastern Ore
gon belt, especially In Burkemont.
Development Only Begun.
The development work on the belt has
been done only within the past two or
three years. Prior to that time the belt
had been examined on the surface by
numerous experts and men who were not
experts, and. while they reported im

browner and instead of being merely
sprinkled with copper, carries well-defined
seams and wire spots. The dip of the
rock toward the limedyke becomes more
noticeable and water indications are more
pronounced.
Prospects at Copper Butte.
On the east of Burkemont Is Copper
Butte, which seems to be an upheaval
from the lower strata. Throughout this
butte native copper is found In prac
tically the same rock as at Burkemont
and Medical Springs. From Copper Butte
the belt runs a little north of east across
Goose Creek and follows the north fork
of Goose Creek down to tho Snake River
and appears on the other sldo of the
Snake In the Seven Devils in Idaho.
Along Goose Creek there has been con
siderable prospecting, but no extensive
development. The character and grade
of copper is, from surface indications.
about the same as at Burkemont or
Medical Springs.
In the Seven Devils In Idaho the forma
tion changes somewhat. Instead of tho
deep beds of native copper ore there are
well-defined ore shoots carrying scams or
copper of high value. These shoots or
scams are followed In shafts, but In soma
of the mines the shoots are so wide and
the seams so poorly defined that a dia
mond drill Is used to keep the shaft on
the seam.
The entire length of this belt In Ore
gon Is about CO miles, and varies In
width from one-half to one mile. It is
pretty well staked out and prospected. At
the west end the old Buckeye mine, op
erated by Milwaukle capitalists, who did
not know copper, has been lying Idle for
three years. This ore went from 53 to
54 in gold, besides the copper. Just be
low Burkemont ls a prospect with a shal
low shaft which runs $15 in gold and
about 10 per cent copper.
If the Eagle Valley railroad Is con
structed this Summer It will tap the cop
per belt about six miles cast of Burke
mont. and then follow the grade down
the south fork of Goose Creek and com
ing hack up Goose Creek strike the cop
per belt again. This road will make the
mining of the native copper ore profit
able. And if the road ls not constructed
a smelter will probably be constructed on
the belt near Medical Springs and the
native copper ore can be mined Just as
cheaply.
PLANS TO EXPEND $100,000.
Oregon Securities Company Will
Drive New Tunnel.
COTTAGE GROVE, Or.. April 35.-Spo-
clal.) The Oregon & Southeastern Rail-
road Company ls gradually extending Its
road Into the Bohemia mining district.
It has graded and laid rails three miles
this Spring. General Manager A. B.
Wood said It was the Intention of the
company to go ahead with the building
until late this Fall, and by that time they
expect to have the line some distance Into
the reserve. The business of the road ls
Increasing so rapidly that the company
Is obliged to Increase its rolling stock. It
has ordered eight additional cars and a
larger engine. The flatcars will come In
from the East, heavily loaded with new
steel rails for the track.
Industrial conditions in this locality have
never been so active as at the presont
time. The demand for laborers is so
strong that the larger lumbering com
panies may be handicapped to a certain
extent for men to operate their plants.
Newcomers are arriving daily, and many
of the laborers go to work the next day.
J. A. Eade. superintendent of the Ore
gon Securities Company, came In from
Bohemia last week to confer with Man
ager A. B. Wood to outline the scas6ns
work for that company. Its plans will
Involve an expenditure of at least $100,000.
A new tunnel Is to be started on the
Champion property for tho purpose of
tapping the rich ore shoots several hun
dred feet deeper. The tunnel will then be
driven to the Mustek property, a distance
of nearly a mile. In driving this tunnel,
some 40 or SO veins will be opened up
and will give the company ore enough for
a 20-year run.
In addition the company is going to in
stall an auxilary steam plant near the
Champion mill. The power will be used
to reinforce the electric power when the
water Is low. The company Is taking
out thousands of dollars every month,
and the output will be greatly augmented
when it commences to crush ores from
the Mustek mine.
Tho electric motors will be started by
May 1, probably, conveying the Mustek
ore to the Champion mill. Tho entire
plant ls operated by electricity.

OK BOW POWER PROJECT
WORK WILL BE COMMENCED IX
THE COMING .MONTH.
D. J. Wlnfilow, a Boise (Idaho)
Electrical Engineer, Now Sole
Owner of the Water Rights.
BAKER CITY. Or.. April 13. (Special.)
Within the next month. If no unforeseen
obstacle arise, work will commence on
the Ox Bow power project. D. J. Wins
low, the Boise electrical engineer, was In
the city last week on his way home from
the Ox Bow, and stated that the time of
construction depends entirely - upon how
soon A. T. Ingalls, the engineer who has
been making the survey for the plant dur
ing, the past week, can complete his
plans.
Mr. Wlnslow Is now the sole owner of
the Ox Bow. The transfer of the water
rights was made to him a few weeks ago
by Charles Bullon. of this city, and his
associates, who have held that power for
the past two years. The sum of
was paid for the power.
Should the entire power of tho Ox Bow
be developed It would generate from 25.
to 30.003 electric horse power. The entire
project will not be completed at once. Mr.
Wlnslow says, as there will not be suf
ficient demand. The first Installation will
he a plant generating approximately 10.
OM horsepower. The plant will be In
creased to Its full capacity as the de
mand Increases.
When tho first installation Is made. 51.
400.000 will be expended. The second In
stallation will cost less, about n,0,0M
being required.
The work which Is to commence this
Summer will be the digging of three tun
nels a crow the Ox Bow. Each of these
tunnels will be about 120) feet In length.
Three units of 2400 kilowatts each will be
installed at first. The second Installation
will be Ave more.
ST. MICHAEL REDUCED

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, April 15. The following letter re
ceived by Representative Jones from the
acting Secretary of War Is self-explanatory"

complaint Is made of existing conditions at
Tort St. Michael. Alaska, in respect to Uie
trans-shipment f persons and freight
dcVUned to Interior points In Alaska.
The unsatisfactory condition of affairs at
Tort St- Michael iras brought to the atten
tion or the department by the local military
authorities In 1903, and Instructions were
then Issued to reduce the area of the reser
vation to the strict necessities of the post

graph station, which are located In Its Im
mediate vicinity. These Instructions hare
been fully carried oat. and a new reserva
tion, largely reduced In area, baa been es
tablished by the President.
The new reservation includes (t) a small
area upon which the military post Is lo
cated; f2) the quartermaster depot and
shipyard; (3) the wireless telegraph sta
tion, a short distance to the east, and U)
the post target range.
The reservation was approved by tho
President on November 20. 1P05. and 'Is to
go Into effect on November 1. 1904. on which
date the old reservation will be transferred
to the Interior Department for sale tinder
the laws regulating the disposal of useless
military reservations. Tho Department of
the Interior was advised of this action on
November 20. 1&05.
The establishments that 'nave been au
thorized from time to time on the military
reservation at Fort St. Michael in the opera
tion of departmental licenses and which are
mentioned In your correspondent's letter are
all of them excluded from the new and re
duced, reservation, which Includes only the
lands upon which tho military post and Its
appurtenances are located.
In December last urgent representations
were made to the department by the repre
sentatives of the principal trading cocaoanle
at St. Michael that Its action In reducing
the reservation to the limits actually re
quired for governmental purposes would re
sult In detriment to the military service.
With a view to giving these representatives
full consideration, the Commanding General.
Department of the Columbia, and the Post
Commander at St. Michael have been called
upon to report fully thereon. These, reports
have not yet been received, but when they
reach tho department the reduction of the
reservation aa ordered and directed by the
President win be reconsidered In tho light
of the facta presented.

ELECTRIC ROAQS PLANNED
HOGUE RIVER. VALLEY" TOWNS
TO BE LINKED TOGETHER.
Condor Water & Power Company
3Iakcs Definite Announcement.
AVar Against Coyotes.
ASHLAND. Or.. April 15. (Special.)
Rogue River Valley people, at least
far-sighted ones, who have watched
electric railway development in other
sections of the country, have predict
cd electric railways through this val
ley, bringing Grant's Pass, Ashland
and intermediate points Into close and
cheap communication with each other.
In these columns was discussed the
matter In a general way several weeks
ago. Now comes the Condor Water &
Power Company, which Is developing
the electric power of Rogue River,
with the preliminary announcement of
its ultimate Intention to operate such
a system of Interurban railroads In
this valley. It Intends to apply for
franchises from toe valley towns and
to the County Court for rights of way
at an early date
This company is now operating a
big electric power plant at Gold Ray,
on Rogue River, supplying light to the
towns of Southern Oregon, including
Ashland. Medford and Gold Hill and
Jacksonville, and power to the mines
and farms for general purposes. The
company Is also developing another
big power station on Upper Rogue
River, near Prospect, where it Is said
It will be possible to develop power
enough for an extensive system of rail
roads in the valley.
The Condor Company does not ex
pect to build any electric railroads at
once. It Is believed, but It Is asking
two years In which to commence act
ual operations. The company has been
making large investments and Im
provemcnts In this valley for several
years and there Is confidence In Its In
tentions and faith In the ultimate ac
complishment of Its plans.
The sheepmen of the Rogue River
Valley have always been troubled more
or less by the depredations of coyotes
on the ranges and on the foothill
farms. In recent years, since the
bounty on coyote scalps was abolished,
damages have been steadily increas
mg. One of the principal sheepmen
of the valley. J. S. Herrin, whose ranch
is a few miles north of Ashland, Is
seeking to solve the problem and ex
terminate the coyotes with a pack of
wolfhounds.
He has already bought four dogs
from a breeder In Missouri and will
soon have a pack that he hopes will
spread consternation in the ranks of
the coyote family.
Aberdeen in a Flutter Over
County Seat Election.
SUSPECTS HER SISTER CITY
Will Insist That Hoqulam Place the
Courthouse Near the Dividing
Line Between the Two
Municipalities.
ABERDEEN. Wash.. April 13. (Spe
cial.) The county courthouse removal
proposition, which is to be a feature of
the election next Fall. Is revived by the
rumor that Hoqulam may Jockey Aber
deen out of tho benefits that will come
from the change of location. Without the
support of Hoqulam, Aberdeen could not
get the Courthouse, though Aberdeen is
the largest city In the county and thinks
herself entitled to it. Aberdeen, how
ever, waives her rights and will allow
Hoqulam. If the proposition carries, to
locate the Courthouse la Hoqulam. Just
across tho line between the two towns.
This would give Hoqulam the advantage
of being called the county seat, but Ab
erdeen would not be at a great disadvan
tage in any particular if the building is
close to the line. The county seat would
certainly be of far more benefit In Ho
qulam and close to Aberdeen than where
iv ugw is, ai j&onic5auo.
Rumor has it. however, that the Coun
ty Commissioners will simply place the
proposition on tho ballot by a mere call
for a vote on the removal from Monte
sano to Hoqulam. Some of those who
have not favored putting the Courthouse
In Hoqulam say that If the bailor made
no further stipulation. Hoqulam people
could ask the County Commissioners to
secure a site In the business center of
Hoqulam and thus deprive Aberdeen of
Its benefit.
There will, therefore, he a demand on
the part of Aberdeen that the exact loca
tion of the new Courthouse be specified on
the ballots. It Is generally believed that
the proposition for removal will earn.
Aberdeen Is in the heat of a postofflce
fight. Inasmuch as the term of Postmas
ter Campbell will expire In August. Post
master Campbell would like to hold down
his Job another four years, and is likely
to do so If President Roosevelt follows
out his rule of not removing postmasters,
or other Federal officials, who have been
faithful to their trust. There Is a quiet
understanding that certain politicians
would like the place, but no active work
Is being done, or If so It Is being carried
on covertly. Mr. Campbell will have his
lieutenants at work when the time comes.
The selection of Mr. Campbell was pe
culiar, but he has made a. thorough and
competent official. Postmaster Bell, who
was serving prior to Mr. Campbell's ap
pointment, encouraged business men to
buy large quantities of stamps, so as to
swell the office receipts sufficient to se
cure a free-delivery service for Aberdeen.
It seems that he had offended certain pet
ty politicians by countenancing the re
moval of the office from one street to an
other, and. as these politicians believed,
detrimental to their business Interests,
The fostered sales of stamps were report.
ed to Washington, and an investigation
resulted in the removal of Mr. Bell on
the ground of "pernicious activity.
But while Mr. Bell was getting out of
office, another set of politicians got the
Job for Mr. Campbell, and those who had
succeeded In getting rid of Mr. Bell found
that they had been beaten at their own
game. Mr. Campbell Is not regarded as a
politician. In the strict sense of the term.
but he has many friends and has succeed
ed wen in tne position.
There has been an active canvass the
past week to increase the membership of
the Chamber of Commerce. While the
organization has been of considerable
value to the public and to the city, the
membership has been small, and at the
last meeting a committee was appointed
to make a canvass for members. It has
succeeded so well that a special meeting
has been called for Tuesday next to take
In the 30 or more persons, who have
agreed to go Into the Chamber and make
it still more effective as a business fac
tor. To the Chamber the action of the
Council In voting warrants to build the
Montesano road Is due. The Chamber,
with Its enlarged membership, will do a
great deal for the municipality the com
ing year.
The regrading of Broadway Is causing
contention among the owners of property
on that thoroughfare. The city is In had
shape In the matter of grades. The early
residents never dreamed of the town be
coming a city, and permitted grades to be
established in any way that was consid
ered convenient, and now it Is hard to get
them changed, because property-owners
are opposed to the small expense that
may be Incurred. Broadway Is only one
of many. streets that require changing,
and the light between the property-owners
and the city fathers will he watched
with Interest.
It Is now believed that the survey of a
new line from Gray's Harbor to Puget
Sound is being carried forward by local
capitalists, of whom G. H. Emerson, of
Hoqulam. ls the head. It is stated that the
promoters will make the line a feeder for
all new roads that desire to get Into the
Gray's Harbor country, and that they
eventually plan to sell out to the highest
bidder.
By building the road, they will get an
other road to the harbor, and thus work
out the problem that has worried the
lumbermen and others doing business
here for a long time, inasmuch as the
Northern Pacific' Company appears not to
be able to handle the freight. There Is
a freight congestion at the present time.
RED TAPE BOTHERS SHEEP
While Departments Jangle Animals
Must Go Hungry.
OREGONIAN NSWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. April 15. While the Departments
of the Interior and Agriculture are ar
ranging their little matter of difference
and getting the red tape nicely bound
around It, the sheep of a number of peo
ple In Klickitat County will have to go
hungry or seek other pasture grounds.
Up to the present year sheep have been
grazed on a section of the Mount Rainier
Forest Reserve which has now been held
to be a part of the Yakima. Indian Res
ervation, and there Is the root of the
whole trouble.
Congressman Jones has been Interesting
himself in the matter at the request of
the people owning the excluded sheep,
and has secured from the Indian Office a
favorable recommendation for the grant
ing of permits for these sheep to graze on
this new pstrt of the Indian reservation,
hat the Interior Department has sus
pended actios en this recommendation
pending the adjustment of the question
as to whether that department or the
Department of Agriculture (through the
Bureaa of Forestry) has Jwlsdictloa over
the raatTer.
The natter is still unadjusted aad the
Congressman has called upon the Secre
tary or Agriculture to make the subject
special In order that grazing may be per
mitted this year. He also has requested
that some Indication bo given as to tho
future policy of the department in grant
ing these permits, that the interested peo
ple may know how to govern their, action
for future years.
Mr. Jones also took up with the Post-
office Department the question of estab
