speed. Recently a kidney of ore i was
passed through somewhere below the 700
foot 'level which caused a report, to cir
culate to the effect that a great strike
had been made in the lower levels on the
ledge. The shaft is a distance from the
vein at a dept of 700 feet and It is said
on food authority that the or encounter-

the kidney ts a favoring slgar however,

found last year, but Indicates greater
wealth below.
The 40-stamp mill has been running
only a few stamps for some time owing to
lack of boiler power and the fact that
the development work was not kept ahead
of the slopes. The mine, however, pro
duces away above expense money, and
when once a series of slope is opened
will add at least a million dollars 'a year
to Oregon s gold fields. It is properly
named, being one ' of the great mines of
the Northwest. It has recently com

RICH STRIKE
AT CRACKER
One Similar to Those of
Golconda and Very,
Rich.
the
Reports from Cracker Creek last week
rave a rumor Of a rich strike In the
Cracker-Oregon. The rumor. It seems
was well founded for the Blue Mountain
American, of Bumpter, in the lost issue
says: .
Superintendent Warren Cable, of the
Cracker-Oregon property, has on exhibit
a quantity of typical mother lode quartz,
in which the blotches of free gold stand
OUt " distinctly for - the naked eye. If
there was ever a duplicate, for the beau
tiful Golconda quarts, the Cracker-Oregon
has found it in Tunnel No. 1. The
values are not great as in the core of the
famous shoot of the Golconda, hut free
gold is there In quantity and the Cracker
Oyegon thas taken a tremendous leap.
-The rich streak, which is about three

cross-cut, is accompanied by a quantity of
other vein matter. The tunnel entered
this in the early part of the week, but

C us tries of Oregon are struggling in the fuce. This datzled the miner.
Superintendent Cable telephoned Mana-
UPWARD THROUGH DARK WATERS J.ger Brown, who hastened up. He found

they can breaths and live and grow, Soil

- -justifying both hope and confidence. It
ia also worthy of note that a delegation

Butte next week, Thlsws indeed a note
worthy event, for heretofore in such oc
casions the governor and societies have
i appointed delegates . to the mining con
tentions and the appointments have been
used to kindle fires ?r 'wad shotguns,
, and the attendance hftr-fceen remarkable.
In that there wasn't any. The advent of
thirty husky Oregon, miners into that
Butte convention ought to enthuse it,
and unless their tongues have forgotten
their cunning their talk ought to create
'Widespread interest,, in Oregon mines.

during the week, utter letting the con

A contract for 500 cords of wood will
be let In a few days. Arrangements
are under way for the machinery, which
Is to be thoroughly modern and con

possible saving in labor. The porpyry
dyke Is a low grade proposition of Im
mense proportions. While some high
values are had from many parts of it
where opened, Mr. Melkle figures on a
great low grade deposit, and his work
will be to handle It at a prcflt. which
will necessitate economical facilities.
Regarding the plant, Mr. Melkle was

that it was to (e erected Immediately.

SUSANVILLE'S BIO ONE.
Through many vicissitudes and much
hardship, the Badger has worked Its way
steadily to the fore. When Originally
opened It was 8 mtlos from A railroad, the
roads were rocky, hilly and bad. The oreB
were base, requiring smelting and there
fore shipping. But In spite of all obsta
cles It is now made a producing mine
and a good one. Superintendent Kelly,
speaking of the many conflicting rumors
as to the successful working of the 'Badg
er's new plant, said that the plant was
now handling approximately 70 tons a
day, which would probably be Its general
average for future work, although an. In
crease was more likely than any failing
off. because the ore handled now was that
removed in development Regarding, dif
ficulties, and especially sliming, Mr. Ken
nedy said ho was having no trouble, and
that so far as. results could be judged
from work till data, the process was en
tirely successful. Concentration has been
about 20 to 1, which makes' a most im
portant saving in freight when hauling
commences. This reduction Will not be

Golconda has made the first clean-up

the first clean-up may not be enormously

attainment of this end Is more gratifying
than a bonanza buch of gold bars. In

When the present Golconda Company

has certainly- been spectacular In the
extreme, but every showing for the pub

since, and furthermore, operations have
been on ore removed from drifts and
upraises, while the great area of the
rich-shoot existing above the ZOO level
Is being blocked out for operations In
the Immediate futuro. In, other words,
tne Golconda mill has been merely op
erating to consume ore removed in the
course of development while a splendid
reservo was being created. From this
early run a very satisfactory clean-up was
made the past week, and three cars of
ooncentrates, valued at from ISO to $100
per ton, have been shipped. It ts ap
parent that the mill will sustain the mine
till the management is ready to com
mence stoping the famous shoot, when
large returns will be realised. y
There Is no abatement of work at the
property. A large amount of work has
been done on the tunnel level, where a
great ore reserve is in sight. A winze

more than 100 feet deep now, and from
this, drifts are being run in the course

Fine ore has leen encountered In this
winze. An upraise is also being made
from the tunnel level, passing through
good milling ore. On the 300 foot the best
showing ever had there has been made
lately, where work opened the shoot on
Its downward continuation. The up
raise from the 300 and the winze from
the 200, to establish a channel for chut-

work has given additional proof of the
richness of ore between those levels.

NEW KOAD TO GREENHORN.
Miners of tne t;reennorn district, as
well as the business men of the new
town of GreenhiiM, are trying to get
a road from the town of Whitney, the
railroad terminus to the new town. The
route is a vryeasy one, both as to
grade and construction. It would run
from Whitney, by Clifford, following the
Canyon City roid to the crossing of
Burnt River, thence up the river along
very easy grades to the mouth of Snow
Creek or Slab Clulch, and then along
one of the long ridges to the summit
of the ridge. This road would be of

BIG ORE BODY
' IN BELCHER
A Mine Found Fifteen Years Ago,
Bat Had Hard Lines.
The Belcher la a Greenhorn mine sit
uated on Quart Gulch, one of the brances
of Olive Creek and about two miles from
the new town of Greenhorn. It was found
nearly fifteen years ago by Andy Larsen.
but only the assessment work was done j
on It of late years. It changed hands
about two years ago and while much work
has been done, it has not always had plain
sailing. We are glad to learn that Its
owners are to be rewarded for .their
pluck and perseverance. Superintendent
Brady, in charge of the work, says:
"An ore body 15 feet long and 12 foet
Wide-has been opened in the lono; tunnel
driven on the lower level on that nron-
erty. This shoot came in something like
1,200 feet front-the mouth Of the tunnel,
and at a vertical depth of about 000 feet.
It is being explored rapidly by. the force
of men I have engaged In development.'
, The Belcher Is opened by O. W. Dainei,
THE KIMBERLY GROUP,
some 22 claims. A shaft down forty feet
shows fine stringers and bunches of ore
all the way down. This shaft will be
put down to the 200-foot level, and then
the ground will be cross-.cut.
The White Butte adjoining the Klm
berly has dSne considerable work during
the summer and as a result has a fine
ledge , uncovered. Assays made from It
show that It can be worked at good profit
as soon as snipping facilities are com
pleted. Like the King, and, Indeed, like
all the others of the dlstrlot. Its ores are
base and require smelting. , The Trout
Creek claim also has a good showing,
though not much work' has been done on
it. The Red Jacket has good ore and
considerable of it. Its tunnel, however,
does not get much depth, and work on
the shaft Is being, pushed along slowly,
At Ax-Handle springs considerable work
has been done by Messrs. Kelsey, Croeson,
Wiley and others of The Dalles. Some
fine ore Is shown, but the work has been
scattered and no great depth attained.
Besides these there are dosen of other
good prospects, but the district is waiting
the settlement of the King litigation and
the advent of the railroad, both of which
events seem possloi in the near future.

Jaeger Brothers Expand.
Just a year ago E. J. Jaeger started a
jewelry business at 290 Morrison street.
At the time of starting h found one-half
ot the store room amply large to accom
modate hi business. ' -lihtertng
as he did, a flWd that anoar
ently was well occupied. In the face of
keen competition, he realized that by
hard effort and strictly straight-forward
methods only, could he expect success.
While thtr capital at the command of Mr.
oeSers, at starting was not large he
brought to the business other capital that
is not computed in dollars and cents-a
clear business head, undaunted courage
una a cnaracter for unquestionable hn
esty. "-.
Business thrived from the start
jewelry store became a busy place.
May 1, 1001, J. p, Jaeger, brother of B.
J. Jaeger, became associated an a part
ner In the rapidly growing business and
established in connection with the Jewelry
business an optical department.
In a short time business had Increased
to such proportions that the partners be
gan to feel the need of larger quarters
aryjl Increased stock. .When the oppor
tunity presented Itself to secure the en
tire store they promptly grasped It and
nt once placed "orders for oore stock.
The first day of 8eprmberfll'see them
occupying the entire store, rather than
one-half, as a year ago, and carrying a
stock twice as. large .jj heretofore.
Jaeger Bros, nave btjgn constant adver
sers in The Journal and are a splendid
example of what petslslent and consist
ent advertising will do.
E. J. Jaeger was for 11 years associated
with prominent Jewelry houses 'In Port
land and It was while employed by others
that he laid the foundation of his later
success; It was while thus employed that
by his fair dealing and many gentlemanly
qualities he made many firm friends who
rejoice at his success now and are proud
to feel themselves a part of If. -'The very
qualities that made him a valuable as-
ststant to others have been a large factor
in the success of his business venture.
J. P, Jaeger, senior partner In the firm.
came to Portland from Chicago where he
graduated form the Northern Illinois Col
lege of Ot'thalomalogy and Otology and
where he attained distinction in the prac
tice of hi profession. Possessing th
same geniality as his brother, Mr. Jaeger
made many warm personal , friend in
Chicago and though of comparatively
short residence here, hia friend are not
few. He brought to th business a
thorough, practical knowledge of hi
calling and Installed th first Retinas
cope and Ophthalmoscope combination
that was ever used on the Coast.
The Jaeger Brothers, while not of tho
offensively obtrusive kind, are hustlers
In thejr business and are wideawake to
any fair means of Increasing it. Their
plan of carrying a carefully selected
stock, making- only honest representations
and giving personal attention and super
vlsfbrt to every detail of the work, Is'th
plan on which they have, and exp'ect stflr1
further to succeed, ; - " ;' '"''.'
