The Sepond Annqal Prpok
County Pair a in progress, at
Brineville tle last four days of
this week, arid many people
from all oyer the county are
attending. In addition to the
premiums offered for exhibits
of stock and farming products
of all kinds, purses are offered
for a number of good races,
which, will entertain the crowds
during the afternoons,
Crock county is a magnifi
cent county in the variety of
her products, as well as in her
proportions, and the exhibit of
Ciook county products will
doubtless be a very attractive
one. As' a atopic section this
county has been famous lor
many years, and today some of
the finest stock ranches in the
West may be found in this
countv. In the years gone by
when tliere was plenty of open
ralice for all aud cattle roamed
and sheep were herded at will
over this immense section of
country, immense fortunes were
made out of range stock and
little attention was paid to
quality, but in more recent
years there has been a tendency
toward a better grade in both
sheen and cattle. The en-
A.
croachments of the settler upon
the once open range has made
this necessary, and today a
majority of our stockmen are
running smaller herds and a
better crade.
Crook county is also becom-
inc: famous as a farming sec
tion, both her irrigated districts
and the dry farming regions
becoming rapidly settled up
with a class ot thritty larmers

who will befoie many years
carry this county to the front
as a productive farming gecon.
The soil is easily p.leared and
prepared for cultivation, and its
productiveness, is n,ot excelled
by any other portion 01 tne
m it A.
State, farmers wno nave set
tled in this immediate section
staip that in no other locality
which bey have Known can tne
spil be ao easily and cheaply
prepared for grain, as on the
high plateau lands along tne
Willow Creek basin. From a
territory in whioh six years ago
there was only a very small
population, with ranches scat
tered here and there, the sec
tion of country lying between
Crooked River pfl the south and
Trout Creek o,n the north lias
grown to have a population of
five thousand people. It is a
wonderful farming country, and
will one day take rank among
the great grain produomg sec
tions of the West.
This county also boasts of
the finest body of virgin timber
in the TJnited States. In the
southern portion of the county
lies an immense tract of yellow
pine containing billions of .feet
of the finest timber in the state,
and which will in a few years be
the center of the lumber indus
trv of the Pacific Coast. This
yellow pine is the only substi
tute for the rapidly disappear
ing white pine, a.nd it has
attracted the attention of the
largest lumber manufacturers
in the TJnited States. Some
where on the upper Deschutes
there will one of these days be
located the largest .lumbering
enterprises which have ever
been known on the Coast
Although her mines are in the
first stages of prospecting
enough has bean uncovered to
indicate that mining will one
day add its quota to the gen
eral prosperity of the county
Gold, siver, cinnabar, lead, and
antimony are known to exist in
sufficient quantities to make
mining profitable, and active
prospect work is now under
way looking to the develop
ment of this great resource of
the county. In addition coa
measures of great promise lmve
been uncovered m the very cen
ter of the count', giving prom
ise of an inexhaustible supply
of cheap fuel for the great day
lhat is dawning for this section
of the state.
Crook county is an empire
in itselt. Her resources are
but beginning to be realized,
and capital is slowly but
surely awakening to the im
mense opportunities that await
it here, ltich in agricultural
lands, rich in its timber re
sources, with cheap fuel as
sured and Unlimited power
afforded by the finest power
stream in the West, what
more could any section ask
to insure its greatness!

GOLD AT HAYCREEK
Quartz Ledge la Being Prospected on.
Lands of B. S. & L. Company.
Haycreek, famous as th8 lo
cation of one of the largest
thoroughbred sheep plants in
the world, bids fair to become
equally famous as the center, of
a rich mining district. Fre.
quent mention has been made
in these columns of the coal
discovery five miles from that
place, where prospect work is
uncovering large measures of a
good grade of bituminous coal.
The most recent discovery in
that locality is that of gold
bearing ore, a ledge having been
uncovered within two miles of
the Haycreek post office.
This" latest discovery was
made on the J3. S. & L. Com
pany's lands about ;wo miles
south of the post office, near
what is known as the Brewer
ranch. A line ledge of mineral
bearing quartz was found, aud
the company is having it thor
oughly prospected. A tunnel
is beiug ruu in under the hill
and is now about 80 feet in,
with prospect work going
steadily on. The quartz is. said
10 carry iair values in gold, and
to be auffieiently promisintr to
justify some expenditure in
iuriuer prospecting the ledge.
DRILLING ON LITTLE PLAIN
Frank Loyeland's drill is still
going at the Harvey ranch on
Little Plain, and a depth of
something over a hundred feet
has been attained. It was not
expected that water would be
found at less than 200 to 250
feet, and they are prepared to
go evon deeper if necessary to
get a good water supply at their
ranch.
The drilling on the Little'
Plain is being watched wit
considerable interest by other?
settlers in thut locality as it is
in the nature of an experiment
and will determine the possi
bility of securing water there
by deep drilling. It is fortu
nate for that locality that this
moat important question ill
about to be solved for them.
