Nothlnc in Ihe Wsy of !)(: Now. The Camp Will Doom While Wster Lasts. Countv Survovor J. W. Mack has 1 1 ,,,, "n lrii to Harney county surveying the new Trout creek minoB nnd cstAiiliiihiug the lines of the stil-diviionn as rciiirl hy law. ile gives etich an account of the i nroaticcU over there that when a ,itM.r l,cltr!! jt h cyo brightens with anticipation anil ho feels like touM(riiiK Dick and shovel ami j emigrating thither imniwliatoly, while thow who do not follow mm iK occumtion feel gool all ' over congratulate thomwlvo ami all their friends that times are going to lie Ix-Uer next summer in conseiiuence of tho mines to the south of us and to the north of us. Trout creok mines had not at tracted nn unusual amount of at tention lately, and now the reason is obvious. There was some flaw iu thu manner of locating the ground and as it had uearlv all been locat til bv resident of 1 lamey City they "laid low" until such time as tbev could have a mineral survey made ami relocate tho rich claims iu duo form as required by the U. S. min eral laws. This has been done, and now the extent of their richness may le made known without fear of bad results. Mr. Mack was wading in snow from two to four feet deep, and with j his crew of holjwrs surveyed twenty ' one claims during the eight hays ho was in camp. 1 he ground was not frosen under this load of snow, and everything is favorable to a sluice heaJ of water for at least nixty days after thu weather moderates so that there is no danger of a hard fneze, and the water supply may last three mouths. Cold is found iu abundance in one guleh just thin side of tho divid ing ridge from the Harney valley tdope, but it is thought that pros pecting will reveal many other guLhes full of the preciotn metal, as was the case here at Canyon City anil Marysville, anil eery placer mining camp. Tho streak of jwy dirt iu this gulch is from 10 to -10 feet wide, and in depth it is from r to 10 feet, prospoctiug gixxl all the way from surface to liedrock. I lie gold is coarse anil heavy; one nugget was found that weighed rti, ami several other line sK.fimens havo been obtained by the fortunate miners who m'tircd first claims. Surveyor Mack informs us that one of tlio miners washed several pans of gravel, and the smallest proect was 10 cents to tho pan. The largest was IS cents, estimat ing the gold at till hit o. As high a prosjKict as f I er pan has Ikjcii obtained. This sounds fabu lous, but the News considers its in formation reliable, and rejoices that so much wealth is at the command of the industrious, so near our very doors. One of the minors washed out fifteen rwkers of earth in tho space of half an hour, and his clean up was $ij.(X). How's that? you ask. Wo havo no reason to doubt it, although it sounds like fiction. They can't all do that well, lie cause the good claims so far dis covered are all located, and tho stream will Mirsist iu running dry right in the midst of tho washing. If water could be obtained in abun danco fortunes would ho made in a day. Rut there is no stream from which water can 1h diverted, nnd this gold will have to be separated from the noil with snow water and that which the springs furnish. Mr. Mack says, notwitliHtamlitig the lack of an abundant How of water, if he had a claim in the gulch a man, though he counted out f 10, (XX) in shining coin of the realm, could not touch it. He has been over there and has "seen what he has seen." The miners ure using Hour from the mills of this valley and next summer when the laud is filled with prosjK'ctors wo may expect to sell ship loads of llour, fruit and vege tables to them for cash. This en courages thu ooplo of this valley, for if we have no Trout creek mines of our own we have a soil and cli mate surpassed by none in Oregon, and by the fruits of our laud we shall dandle part of tho gold from the gulches and glens and dismal feus of that country which lies a day's journey to tho south.

Calioll, who was iu tho city recently from the La Rellevue, one of the most promising proxrties iu the northwest, the Ra ker City Democrat learns that more development is iu progress this win ter than for years past, and as the Nkws has unbounded faith in the mines of Northern Grant we cheer fully copy from the Democrat: Various properties iu the section in which the La Rellevue is situat ed, the Granite district, are making a wonderful showing and lnrgo bodies of ore are constantly being excised. Now that tho mine own ers of that district havo n custom mill to reduce their ores thoy are further stimulated iu the dove Hop uient of their mines, and the old custom of leaving tho ore on tho dump will no longer bo followed, but the same will lie conveyed to the Monumental mill for reduction. Thus the miner will bo able to pay his way us be goes. ' As to the La Rellevue, Mr. Cab ell expresses himself us being con fident that it is thu heht miiiu on the coast, and the opinion is sup ported by milling ox porttf who have inspected the proerty. Active de velopment is being prosecuted on ait extensive scale at ibis mine and thousands of tons of high grade ore are eiKied. The owners aru making arrange ments for reducing a largo amount of ore at the Monumental mill, which is only three miles distant. "This vcar will also bo a bonanza for the pfitcer miner," observed Mr. Cabell.
