Good Opportunity for Prospectors
East of Prlnevllle.
The eastern portion of Crook Gounty
Is coming to the front as an important
mining center, according to J". S. Patter
son, who is Interested In the Eldorado
quartz mine, on Lookout Mountain. Mr.
Patterson, who was at the Perkins yes
terday, said the Eldorado showed a solid
ledge of quartz 65 feet thick, at a depth
of 200 feet, and this mass of ore assays
from $2 50 to $7 per ton In free gold. A
stamp mill will be put up on the property
next Summer, and arrangements will be
made to run the mine nlght,and day.
The district lies east of Prlnevllle some

30 miles, and Is about 20 miles square
In area, and the bedrock Is neither basalt
nor granite. A kind of decomposed quartz
and limestone underlie a considerable por
tion of the region, which Is a spur of the
Blue Mountains. Quite a number of prom
ising ledges were worked on In the vicin
ity last Summer, and there are good op
portunities for energetic prospectors to
make valuable strikes yet, as the district
has been overlooked, while rushes were
Deing made to less promising neias.
Plicer mining has been carried on suc
cessfully for years In the northern por
tion of the district, and a great deal of
gold has been taken out with very little
noise. If the locality were 3000 miles
away and hard to get at, Mr. Patterson
thinks .there would have been a good deal
said about It. but It Is too close to civili
zation. He mentions one man. Bob Cannon, who
last Summer took out $30,000 In IS days
by a single process of .ground sluicing,
obtaining water from Birch Creek, a
tributary cf the John Day River. The
gold was mostly coarse, very little at
tention being paid to the finer particles.
Cannon being a stockralser and not post
ed In the details of mining. "If this epl-'
sode had occurred in Alaska," Me. Pat
terson said, "the news would have been
heralded far and wide by telegraph, but
as It only happened within 70 miles of
Sha"niko, the terminus of a railroad In
Central Oregon, very little has been said
about It. Cannon now has a system of
pipes and afourinch monitor In position
on the property, and will work it to bet
ter advantage next year. The bank Is
shallow and the distance to bedrock Is not
more than three or four feet, so that a
proper system of giants will uncover
a great deal of surface In a season.
A Cape Times correspondent has inter
viewed Mrs. Dewet, wife of the Boer
General. She said: "You Englishmen
will never catch my husband. He Is going
to win back for the Free-Staters what
they have lost. He has enough food and
ammunition to last for three years, and
that Is Just how long the war is going to
last."
