PHASES OF
FINDS FORTUNE
MINE
Sam Samson, of Hood River,
Lucky Owner of Share
in Cyrus Noble.
REPAID FOR HARDSHIPS
Oregon Man Who Went North With
Uurdly a Penny Three Years
Ago, Is Now a Prospective
Millionaire.
HOOD EIVER, Or., Oct. 7.-Sam Sam
son, who has been made suddenly rich
by a mine in Alaska, and who was form
erly a resident of Hood River, has Just
returned from a trip to Connecticut to
find a letter awaiting him that apprised
him of the fact that he is over $30,000
richer than when he started for the East
two wceKs ago.
Since last January he and his three part
ners have taken 2SO,O0O from the Cyrus
Noble mine, which they own and which
they had been working for more than a
year before they struck pay dirt. When
Samson left Hood River three years ago
ho was almost penniless and after going
to Alaska worked as a common laborer
for some time in order to grub-stake him
self for a prospecting trip, many of
which he made before he succeeded in
locating what gave promise of develop
ing into a mine. The Cyrus Noble is a
placer property and is located 214 miles
from Nome.
Mr. Samson left Nome on June 28 and
spent several weeks at Hood River be
fore going East, but is now preparing to
return to Alaska. He has presented sev
eral of his friends with gold nuggets as
souvenirs. In talking about the great
developments of mining near Nome, he
said:
'Alaska is rich In the yellow metal
and while much of the ground has already
been taken, mining in that country Is
really only in its infancy. The Nome
country is overrun with prospectors and
some of the claims near, Cur mines have
been staked out so many times it is diffi
cult to tell to whom they belong. The
trouble with most prospectors ts that they
have not the staying qualities to develop
a mine when they find one. Our mine is
110 feet deep, every Inch of which had to
be thawed out before the dirt could be
removed and It was not until we reached
that depth that we commenced to strike
gold.
"The thawing Is done with steam and
Is pretty expensive, coal costing us $24
a ton. It is only $16 a ton at Nome, but
we have to pay $8 a ton to have it hauled
24 miles. Labor costs $5 a day and
board, and yet, strange to say, there are
a good many men out of employment.
How many of them exist In such an ex
pensive country is a mystery. Wo em
ploy about 25 men who work ten hours
a day. As in most places nowadays, there
is a labor union that regulates these
things. So far we have had no trouble.
On an average they take out the equiva
lent of eight feet deep and 50 feet long
for a day's work.
"So far wo have sluiced out $175,000 and
have $80,000 more In sight In 16 days we
took out In the neighborhood of $100,000,
which ts the largest amount we have
ever taken in that many days, unless
they have exceeded this 'while I have
been away. Alaska has a great future be
fore it, and until I came to the States
this Summer I have been satisfied to live
there. Now, however, I dread going back
to the long, cold Winter, but must do so,
as we have another mine to develop."
Mr. Samson says that the Gertrude
nflne, located near the Cyrus Noble, was
estimated by experts before he left to
contain between $1100,000 and $400,000 in
pay dirt and that when the Cyrus Noble
mine becomes exhausted they will develop
another mine which they own called the
Diamond I He says that most of the
gold obtained Is in nuggets, varying In
value from $6 to $12.
ASKS FOR NEW WATER IjAWS
C. B. Watson Cautions Against
Wasteful Methods.
i
ASHLAND, Or., Oct. 6. (To the Edi
tor.) James J. Hill, of the Great
Northern, has gained the reputation of
seeing far ahead of ordinary men in
matters pertaining to our commercial
future. In fact, so often have his
words been verified that he has gained
the reputation of Deing something of a
prophet. This fact lends weight to
his words of a few days ago, when he
said: "By 1950, iron will have re
treated almost to the company of the
precious metals. The peril is not one
of remote geologic time, but of the
present generation." As a precaution
iiry measure, he urges more attention
to agriculture.
This is undoubtedly good advice, but
will it ward off the danger of the
threatened exhaustion of our iron, coal
and other resources, without fortifica
tion in other directions? More agri
culture means more agricultural im
plements and machinery, and conse
quently more iron, coal and other
things with which to make them.
"Would not such a revision of our
tariff laws as would enable us to draw
from like resources of other countries
tend to a relief from the danger of an
exhaustion of our own resources?
Having always been a Republican, I
have also been a protective tariff ad
vocate. My views in that direction,
have, however, been for years under
going modifications with the evolution
ary changes that are constantly going
on.
The purpose of my present writing is
not, however, to discuss the tariff
question, hut another thought aroused
by Mr. Hill's warning. The rapid de
velopment of the various uses to which
electricity may be put suggests an
other partial solution of the problem
he has presented. From electricity we
get power and heat; this relieves the
stress upon our coal resources. Ex
periment in the extraction of metals
by the use of electricity promises to
open new possibilities in utilizing ores
that have heretofore been of too low a
grade, or too refractory, to make the
profitable working of them possible by
the old methods. Our mountains are
filled with such ores, low grade but
carrying the metals we want. - We
ought to, and will, utilize these ores
so soon as satisfactory electrical meth
ods for reducing them shall render the
working of them profitable, and that
time is rapidly approaching.
Now, here is my point: Our Legis
lature will soon be in session, and it
is to be hoped that we will get 40 days
of good, honest service from it. The
people have relieved the Legislators
from the old time-wasting struggle in
electing a United States Senator, and
expect their appreciation will be shown
by public spirit and sensible action.
fill
INDUSTRIAL
We need legislation on the water ques
tion. No country on earth has such an
abundance of water running to waste
as Oregon. We need it for many pur
poses, but especially for irrigation and
the generation of electricity. In many
portions of the United States this now
essential force can only be produced
by steam, which adds an immense item
of cost to its production. We have
mountains rich in various kinds of ore
and inexhaustible streams coursing
down their sides, offering power for
the generation of electricity with
which to work this ore, and for ail
other purposes. Electrical devices are
being perfected which makes it pos
sible to transmit the currents without
great loss for many miles. The gen
erators may be stationed far up the
mountains, and after the water has
been used over and over again in turn
ing countless wheels before the larger
areas of agricultural country are
reached, the supply, without diminu
tion or contamination, will be turned
over for domestic use and irrigation.
Here, then, we not only have a solu
tion of Mr. Hill's problem in the de
velopment of new and inexhaustible
supplies of mineral wealth, but also
an immense impulse to the agricultural
possibilities which he suggests. The
basis of all this is to be found in a
proper code of laws bearing upon our
water question. Individuals and pri
vate corporations have no more right
to appropriate water for selfish and
wasteful purposes and by wasteful
methods than they have to bottle up the
air and peddle it out through meters

to those who are able to stand their
extortion. There Is enough for all if
used under proper regulation, and it
is the duty of our Legislature to lose
no time in providing theae regulations.
Our forestry reserve system is a mag
nificent step taken by the general Gov
ernment for the conservation of i our
water supply, and it is now up to the
Legislature to take essential steps to
fully secure the great bounty here as
sured. I believe that nothing could be done
that would more surely secure to us
proper proportion of the irrigation
funds, about which so much has been
said, than for our Legislature to show
the appreciation of our people by tak
ing the necessary steps to apply this
bounty in its fullest extent. This
should be done before private corpora
tions have absorbed this greatest boon
and have worked it into an engine of
oppression. c. B. WATSON.

Fruit Thrives In the Grand Kondc
Valley.
LA GRANDE, Or., Oct. 7. (Special.)
C. M. Stockland, of the Cove, has on
exhibition in this city three varieties
of grapes grown on his place. This
fruit is fully matured and ripened, and
demonstrates the fact that grapes can
be raised satisfactorily in Grand Ronde
Valley.
It had been an accepted idea, on ac
count of the cool nights, which come
at a time vhen a higher temperature
is needed for the ripening process, that
this Is not a grape country. The suc
cess of Mr. Stockland proves this to be
an error, and there seems no reason
why any variety of grape which will
grow and mature in the same latitude
In the East will not grow and mature
here. On account of the abundance
of other varieties of fruit, but little
attention has been paid to grape cul
ture, but it is probable that consider
able acreage will hereafter be devoted
to vineyards.
A corporation, to be known as the
Oldenburg Fruit Association, s has
sprung into life this week. The in
corporators are Luwyh. John and S.
Oldenburg. The capital stock is $28,
000, and the home of the company will
be La Grande.
The object of the company is to deal
in and develop orchards, construct fruit
warehouses and handle fruit on com
mission. The corporation has exten
sive holdings of orchards near Imbler.
One tract of 95 acres has been subdi
vided Into five-acre tracts to be sold
for delivery five years hence, or at a
time when the fruit trees come into
profitable bearing.
The company has another tract in
the same vicinity of 480 acres of orch
ard land, which win all be put out in
trees as soon as possible. This will
make by far the largest individual
orchard anywhere in the Northwest.
The exhibit hall at the depot has
again been filled with apples, fruit and
other products. The showing is a
fine one, and attracts attention from
people passing through on the trains.
A. A. Gust has shipped out ten car
loads of potatoes and has a contract
for the delivery of 25 carloads more
to Eastern parties. Mr. Gust says the
Grand Ronde potato crop this year is
good, the yield being very fair and the
quality first-class. V
Mr. Gust expects to handle from 60
to 75 cars this season, mostly from
the vicinity of Alicel and Imbler. The
present price paid is C5 cents per hun

The chestnuts are of good size and

mineral localities which is now creating
decided interest here is the copper belt
in the vicinity of Medical Springs. The
claims belonging to the Eclipse Copper
Company show value in copper alone of
$175 to $200 per ton. The matter now in
question is to determine the extent of
the ore and to provide for getting it
treated.
Miners will commence work this week
to make a cut through the ore body and
sink on the ledge. At the present time
there is no wagon road within six miles
Of the Eclipse and it Is probable that
arrangements will be made to pack ore.
Of course, with a continuation of the
recent fine showing at the mines, the
company will not be long in providing
a wagon road. All that this property
needs is to show a sufficient quantity
of the ore recently brought out and the
future of the Eclipse is assured.
Machinery weighing more than 7000
pounds was taken up the river this week
for the Aurelia mines. This machinery
is part of a delayed shipment and in

Will Develop Aurelia Claim.
Plans are laid for work at the Aurelia
on a systematic scale. There is water
power for operating the mill and an elec
tric plant will be used for supplying
light, both in the mill and tunnels. A
company of the stockholders, including
Mr. Corbett, R. F. Falk, L. Oldenburg
and James Reynolds, who went up this
week for a personal inspection of the
progress of the work, have returned.
They express themselves as greatly sat
isfied with the work done and have ut
most confidence that the Aurelia will,
as soon as the mill Is in operation, be
come a steady producer.
At the sale of the old Camp Carson
placer mines a few days ago the property
was bid in by the creditors and former
owners, Messrs. Toley and Imhaus. Not
withstanding reports that the company
which had the mines last year would re
turn and lift the Indebtedness, the property-was
allowed to go by default after
an expenditure of $10,000 or $50,000 had
been made in getting the ground in shape
to work.
N. E. Imhaus, who has been associated
with Mr. Foley for several years in the
ownership of the Carson mine, was down
from Baker City this week for the pur
pose of going with Mr. Foley to the
camp to arrange plans for the next year.
The season is too late for sluicing, but
it is the intention to open up a new
strip of gravel. There is a large amount
of pipe giants and other hydraulic ap
paratus that can be utilized as soon as
the season opens next year.
W. A. Wilkinson, of Minneapolis, who
has the contract for the construction of
the Palmer mill, was in La Grande this
week. He has placed the work in charge
of his superintendent, under whom 25
men are employed, and more are needed.
A carload of tools and the millwrights
have arrived from Potlatch, Idaho.

WHITE SALMON FAIR EXDS
Prizes Are Awarded for Excellent

HOOD RIVER. Or., Oct. 7. (Special.)
White Salmon's first fruit fair came
to an end at a late hour Saturday,
having passed off most successfully,
with a good attendance and a fine dis
play of fruit. The exhibition was bet
ter yesterday, as the display was
added to by growers who did not ex
hibit on the first day. A feature of
the fair that perhaps attracted at
tention was a young bear that had
been captured by a party of ranchers
on their way to the exhibition, and
was brought in and chained to a tree
in the vicinity of the fair building.
The fair attracted visitors from
Trout Lake, Husum, Pine Flat. Golden
dale and other places on the Washing

Great Activity in Baker County Dem
onstrates Prosperity and Causes
Shortage of Laborers for the
Many Projects Under Way.
BAKER CITY. Or.. Oct. 7. (Special.)
Bakers' troubles in railroad building are
over, as the construction of the Eagle Val
ley Railroad is certain. The amount nec
essary to build the Vinson project is as.
sured, and David Eccles. the representa-
tive of the Mormon money that owns the
Sumpter Valley Railroad, is here now in
conference with Mr. Vinson, the pro
moter, and his own chief engineer. West,
regarding the building of the line. The
facts will be definitely announced within
a couple of days.
Engineer West is back from a trip over
the route of the proposed Eagle Valley
line, the second he has made through the
territory that Vinson proposes to tap. As
soon as he returned, David Bccles was
summoned from Utah to go over the situ
ation with his engineer. Vinson was call
ed in. and active steps will soon be taken.
It Is now a question of who will build the
road. It depends upon Mr. Eccles whether
the Eagle Valley line shall become a part
of the Sumpter Valley system or whether
It shall be a branch of the O. R. & N.
with the Harriman interests tapping
Baker County's richest farming and min
ing country.
The most Important news in months
came to Baker when It was announced
that John E. Searles, the millionaire ex
head of the sugar trust, was building and
equipping an electric line at his Cornu
copia gold mines, to connect the Cornu
copia Mines of Oregon, as they are called,
with the proposed Eagle Valley line.
Will Develop Mining Property.
Searles' venture is one of many notable
improvements he has made on his prop
erty there since he announced that he
was determined to develop It to its fullest
capacity. Although he had owned the
mines for years, he had paid no great
attention to them until early In the Sum
mer, when he visited Baker County and
saw their possibilities. Immediately
Searles laid the plans of devejopmcnt, in
wnicn iijt),ouo will be spent th is Fall.
Searles determined to give his personal
time and attention to the building up of
tht Cornucopia Mines, in which he has
great faith. The first step of the New
lork capitalist was to put in the electric
line to connect the Cornucopia with the
Eagle Valley road. The line is to be nine
miles in length. It covers a section of
mountain country, and will provide a
means of hauling the output of the mine
down an extremely heavy grade to Car
son, the objective point of the Eagle Val
ley system.
Dirt Is now flying in the construction of
the property. The line has been surveyed,
the materials ordered, and the timber
carpenters are being used In constructing
trestles where they will be necessary to
the grade of the line.
The road is right amongjhe mountains
When the Eagle Valley project was first
planned Vinson's objective point was the
rich mineral camp of Cornucopia, but the
heavy grades from Carson to the mines
were so great as to make the plan im
practicable. It was abandoned, and Vin
son selected Carson as his objective point.
leaving the nine miles of freighting to be
done by wagon.
Not so with the sugar king. He was
determined to meet Baker half way in
securing transportation facilities for his
mine output. Immediately casting about
for a cheaper method of hauling, Searles
determined to build and equip an electric
line.
The new road will be used to haul ores
and concentrates from Cornucopia to the
smelter, and will transact a general
freighting business between Cornucopia
and Carson, practically doing away with
the expensive hauling by wagon. It will
handle all freight up the grade. Including
the supplies for the Searles and other
mining properties there.
In addition, Mr. Searles Is building and
equipping a 20-stamp mill. Just doubling
his present milling capacity, and is con
structing a network of flumes and ditches,
which will furnish fine waterpower, which
is necessary to obtain electricity for his
new railroad. He is employing about 100
men, but is having a serious time secur
ing labor.
Call for Workmen Urgent.
Two hundred men could be put to work
within an hour after their arrival in
Baker City today, and could secure po
sitions at good wages. The season's work
has been plentiful, and men have been
few, but the qlimax was reached within
the last few days. Never was labor so
scarce. Contractors and employers are
skirmishing for laborers in La Grande,
Union, Huntington, and all the near-by
towns.
At Cornucopia, 100 men, miners, muck
ers, timbermen, and laborers are wanted
at once. In Baker City one contractor
wants 50 men to work immediately in lay
ing sewers. The Pacific States Telephone
Company needs 30 men to lay conduits for
its new system, and at Sparta, near this
city, the Oregon Mining and Development
Company, which is investing $50,000 this
Fall, requires 25 men in developing its
placer properties and building ditches for
irrigation and mining purposes. The Ore
gon Lumber Company finds It Impossible
to get enough help to keep Its big mill
running at full capacity. The skilled men
are there but common labor Is scarce. The
Shockley McMurren Lumber Company
wants men badly for its logging camps.
There Is no boom in Baker, but the
steady growth of the city and the develop-
A
x,
ment of the resources of its tributary
country is making it an ideal place for the
laboring man. With the building of the
Eagle Valley road, which will be com
menced soon, the need will be even more
urgent.
The Improvements of the Pacific States
Company in Baker will cost in the
neighborhood of $40,000, and will equip the
town for a service such as would be
needed in a city of 20,000 people. It is a
striking instance of the faith of an out
side corporation in Baker's development.
The company last week commenced the
work of placing its telephone wires in the
business part of town, under ground.
They will be removed from the streets,
the poles taken down, and all the phones
in town will be connected with central by
cables, carried through the business part
in a cement conduit four feet under

WOODED LAND MADE TILLABLE
Slashings Burned From 2000 Acres
in Clackamas County.
OREGON CITY, Or., Oct. 7. (Spe
cial.) A reliable index of the extent
to which the non-tillable acreage in
Clackamas County Is being reduced to
a state of cultivation is revealed in
the unusually large number of permits
to burn slashings which were issued
during the season that closed October
1. Nearly 600 of these permits, em
bracing on an average five acres each,
were granted. While some pf the ap
plications covered the burning of hay
stacks and stubble, it is estimated by
County Clerk Greenman that the cut
tings have been burned this Fall from
fulIy-2000 acres of fertile Clackamas
County land.
Much of this acreage will be culti
vated for the first time next year. The
remarkable development of the county
is the direct result of the efforts of
many new- arrivals here in establish
ing for themselves farms and perma
nent homes.
