HISTORY OF Tliii MONUMKNTAI.
Most iMjoplo in Kaslern Oregon,
mining men o?ocially, know some
thing of tho varied story of tho
Monumental mino and tho great
stamp mill hearing its name. The
current rumoVs of the restarting of
tho null and its valuu ns an aid to
tho development of the vast (Ircon
horn camp mako tho subject just
noiv of siH-cinl interest. Tho Pen
dleton Tribune, therefore, gives, for
the Itenelit of those who nro unac
quainted with its history, tho fol
lowing outline of the story of tho
establishment of the chief mill in
Oregon for working refrnctorv orv-s:
- ' The Monumental silver mine was
probably first discovered by a Mr.
Hiiiton. who, however, never gavo
it much attention and finally ahnu
doned it. A little later, in the
seventies, two prosioctors, Messrs.
Klopp and Nail, associated in placer
mining with the elder Hobbins and
Winn Johnson, located the mine and
after jiosting notices anil Inking
some samples of ore, went to Mr.
Kohhius home to have nil assay
made. Tho result of the assay
proved a rich find, and thev return-
j ed to find a party at work in their
' prosH-ct hole, Messrs. McCann,
Iturnliniii, Mooru and McDonald,
uhu claimeil to have made tho dis
covery as early as Messrs. Klopp
and Nail, and exhibited their notice
duly posted. It seems that one
party had approached the hiil from
one side nt nUiiit the same time
that the other party catnu up the
other and the coullicting claims
were finally adjusted by a copart
nership of equal interest.
The mine proved rich in silver
and was operated by the original
owners until about is"", when Mr.
C. S. Miller, the present owner, then
a trained mining c.K-rt fresh from
the Idaho mining regions, was at
tracted t it. Mr. Miller finally or
ganized a cortsiratinii which pur
chased the property and in 1S7.H
constructed the great 'JO ntamp mill,
coding in the noighlKirhood of i HXI,
OX). The hrtijierty was ojHiratcd
under Mr. Miller's energetic man
agi'iiieiit for two years when the
company became financially involv
ed and the mine and mill went into
the bunds of Mr. Kaufman, of Port
land, as receiver, and remained idle
until l.vi.S.
Mr. Miller had faith in the prop
urly anil finallv interested an Kng
lish syndicate in it and originated a
deal with them which was finally
closed by Mr. Kaufman. Tho com
pany was known as tho Kaatorn
Oregon Mining Company and under
its management the initio was work
ed nnd the mill operated during
I'.l and I still, closing down about
a year ago. During this time the
shares of which there Mere MXI.ixxj
reached in the Loudon market a
price of more than a ikiuihI each.
The company disregaided tho le
gal claims which Mr. Miller had
against it with the result tlmt he
brought suit, attaching tho proorty
aml obtaining judgment. Thu time
of redumption having expired the
title now vesta in Mr. Miller, and
realizing that it tuny hu madu val
uable not only to himself but to the
state, he has been making arrange
ments as rapidly as Kisiblu to sot
the wheels again in motion. Thu
mill is in perfect condition, having
bei-u carelully looked after when
idle, and is capable of bundling
twenty tons of ore a day.
The mino consists of sixteen par
allel veins of ore of narrow surface
dimensions hut of probable increas
ing width below. Tho veins if
sbecinl richness aro it. 11, 1'.', l.'land
It'.. l'Min l!l thu mill rests. The
original scheme to construct a tun
nel cutting all thu veins at tho bastt
of tho hill will doubtless one day be
carried on.

At a recent meeting of tho Grant

Oregon, J. W. Wisdom, of linker

county, John McDonald, of Cnion

Wallowa county, wero aiiiHiinted
ami constituted a ooard ol commis

Agricultural Society and
Whereas, the lionrd has designat
ed Prairie City, Oregon, as tlio
place to hold their next annual
meeting, the Grant County Agri
cultural and stock Association nt a
meeting held on the 'Jlst day of
Oct., 1801, has unanimously decid
ed to do all in its jHiwer towards
preparing grounds mid suitable
buildings for holding tho same ns
designated by tho commission. Now
the question so intimately connect
ed with the progress and develop
mcnt of our vast mineral and agri
cultural interests is asked. Will
tho eople of Grant county aid in
this enterprise? And in order that
the wishes of the peoplo may be ob
tained, lie it
Kesolved, that the association
authorize the president to request
the citizens of each precinct in thu
county to call a meeting on the I'.'lh
day or December. 1MM. And that
the citizens of each precinct npoiut 1
a committee of no loss than three
imtmhis to solicit subscriptions as a
donation to bo applied by the direct
ors of the sooiotv in preparing tho
grounds and suitable buildings fur
county and district fairs, and that
each committee report the amount
collected to the secretary of the
Agricultural and Stock Association
at Prairie City, on or betore tho 'J111I
day of January, ISD'J. A compli
ance with this reasonable demand
will ho immediately recognized as
a source of development ofoiirgrent
resources. Can there be a nioro
propitious time for Ibis? we ask.
Actuated by this movement tho
character of our county will be de
termined and ample prisif given to
capitalists who will encourage rail
road transHirtation. No doubt the
majority of tho Moplu in tho county
have boon informed of thu proceed
ings of tho board and that Prairlu
City has been designated as the
place to hold thu next annual meet
ing. Hut our representative, Mr.
Coznrt, informs us that it is 011 con
dition that the citizens make all the
prep.irarious for holding the same
In the event that it is not done that
he, (Coznrt) stands pledged to fa
vor Tniou county as tho place for
holding tho next annual meeting.
Now it is to bo hoK.'d that the
K'ople will be impressed with the
necessity of donating as liberally aH
their circumstances will jtorinil, as
we seo no reason why the people of
Grant county should bo thu last in
adopting such measured when wo
are assured of tho District in Is'J-.
