NEW GOLD EXCITEMENT
Rich Strike Just Made in
Lake County.
ORE IS FABULOUSLY RICH
Has Caused Stampede to New Dis
trictResembles the Famous
Tonopah District In
Nevada.
The biggest mining boom of
recent y ears in this state in
stampeding hundreds of people
to the new find in Lake county,
where fabqlously rich ore has
just been diticovered. It is
claimed that th ore taken from
the newly discovered mines
Hosely resembles the ore from
the famous Ttnopah district in
Nevada, and the formation and
lay of th'e country are alo
identical. The ores run high in
free gold, ranging from $200 to
$5000 per ton, and some of the
ore is so rich that the free gold
can be seen with the naked eye.
The newly discovered mining
district lies about 25 miles
northeast of Lakeview, in Coy
ote Hills. People are flocking
there in wagon loads, a major
ity of them coming up from
northern California, although
many are going from all sides.
A Lakeview paper makes the
prediction that 50 000 people
will be attracted to that district
by the new gold stiike within
the next six months. Claim
are bring staked out for miles
aiound the original discover'.
and new fiuds are being re
ported every day. The ravines
are being located as placer
mines, and in some of them it is
claimed the dirt averages $6 to
the pan. One report says that
a body of book leaf ore has
been discovered that will assay
$50,000 per ton.
BRUIN VISITS BIG PLAIN
Big Brown Bear Killed By
Ranchers.
A big brown bear weighing
probably .about 300 pounds was
killed on Agency Plains last
Sunday by Charles Dillon and
Alfred Parkey, who shot him
with a 22-calibre rifle. AYhile
big game hunters are scouring
the mountains in the upper Des
chutes and around the berry
patches on the Santiam and
McKenzie Rivers, two lucky
ranchers on the plains can tell
a story of big game hunting
here at home, which will doubt
less discount any stories of the
chase that may be brought
home from the mountains.
At Alf. Parkey's homestead
laet Sunday, Charles Dillon and
Parkey noticed a large animal
crossing the Parkey Held with
a lumbering gait, and the ani
mal was soon identified by
them as a bear. They only had
a Btuall calibre rifle in the house,
but mounting their horses they
gave chase, and riding around
Bruin, shot him with the 22 rifle
and killed him. He was a
monster brown boar, weighing
possibly 800 pounds or more,
and when he stood on his hind
egs he whs rb tall as h man.
Agenoy Plains is A populous
arming community, and that
Bruin should venture to cross it
as ho would his native wilds
was, in the opinion of the ranch
era on the plains, justly pun
ished by death. This is proba
bly the first bear that has
crossed the plains in H quarter
of a century or longer. Ii8
presence there pan only bp exr
plained, ).v the supposition that
ne was (lryen out of his haunts
in the tnoiintojns by forest fires,
and neeking pew stamping
grounds, crosse4 tllP Dschutes,
and climbed the rjfprocks
to the plains above.
THE LAND FRAUD TRIALS
Blue Mountain Reserve Case UpMft
P. Mays, W. N. Jones AnJ
George Sorensen Art
Pefendants,
The trial of F. P. Mays, W,
N. Jones and George Sorenson.
on a charge of conspiracy to de"
fraud the Government out of
large tracts of valuable timber
lands has been in progress in
the federal court at Portland
during the past week, and is
attracting wide attention owing
to the Boope of the operations
undertaken by the defendants,
They are charged with having
fraudulently acquired title to
over 200000 acres of school
lauds lying within the territory
which was afterwards to be cre
ated into the Blue Mountain
Forest lieserve, and which their
prior knowledge of where the
lines would be made possible.
These lauds so acquired were,
when the reserve should be cre
ated, to be exchanged with the
Government for "scrip" which
could be placed upon the most
valuable vacant timber lands
the Government owned. The
scrip thny would get was easily
worth $6 an acre in the open
market, and as the school lands
which they were to exchange
tor it only cost them $1.25 per
acre, their profit in the transac
tion would have been $475 pet
acre. Through the efforts of
Secretary of the Interior Hitch
cock, however, the scheme was
nipped in the bud, as the re
serve was not created until after
the lieu land law was repealed,
and so all of the school land
holdings in the reserve were
valueless for scrip.
Although this indictment was
returned by a federal grand
jury over IS months ago, the
detendants have not been
brought to trial earlier owing.to
the condition of one of the de
fendants, F. P. Mays, who suf
fered a physical collapse when
the exposure and indictment
occurred. At . the instance of
the Government he was rscent
lv examined by physicians,
who pronounced him in fit con
dition to stand trial, and the
case was then set. Although
the defendants are represented
by a brilliant array of counsel,
it is believed that Special Pros
ecutor Heney and District At
torney JBristol will add another
victory to the long list they
have already scored in the land
fraud trials. Much damaging
evidence has been brought out,
the most convincing being that
of O. E. S. Wood, a prominent
attorney of Portland who rep
resents the road company, who
te8titiea in eneot that AlavB
asked him. to go into the deal.
Rev. John G. Moehrinjr left on Mon
day for Spokane, where he goes to attend
the conference of the German Methodist
Church for this conference district. Mr.
Moehnng's many friends in this locality
will hope that he may be returned to his
charge at Methodist Hill, to continue the
good work which he began here a year
ago.
William Boegli was in town last Friday-
from The Cove .on Crooked River, mar
keting a load of fresh tomatoes. These
were the first tomatoes in any quantity
which have been sold here this year, al
though a few earlier ones, were brought in
by others. The first seen here this sea
son came from the ranch of John T. Diz
ney on (he Deschutes.
