The total development work done on the Athel Stan consists of about 450 lineal feet which Includes two shafts, 60. and 70 feet deep, respectively.

The, pre veins carry Hold, silver., lead, copper and abeatos, with the richest values in gold and silver.

The un precedented hot weather for June In the mountains of 'Kastern Oregon is ro moving the snow from the hills earlier than is usually the -case, and as natural sequence activity in the mines Is greater than in any previous June. There Is now ' scarcely a . mine, either placer or quarts. In the 'district that Is noi- running full blast . At least a score of mills are In the course of construction and development work is going on at a rato never before experienced. Mill operations were resumed at the Psychs this week. This mine, situated In -the Greenhorns, just completed Its 20-stamp plant : last fall, before the snows closed down operations, and ow ing to' an 'insufficiency of fuel, no work was dpne during. the winter. How ever, development . work was done all the winter and the campaign this sum mer will be pressed vigorously. Za the Oreeahom. ' The Greenhorn district will be a lively . producer - this - -summer.

The group of claims recently pur chased by Patsy Clark and associates on Forest Creek in Jackson County, have shown up so good In copper values that j arrangements are being made to put In a I smelter at the mine. This will be the first smelter built in Jackson County, and as there Is considerable base ore In that locality, which cannot be profita bly handled under present conditions, its construction will be of great benefit It Is understood that the plant will be! large enough ; to take custom work In addition to handling all tha ore from Clark's group.

A Sumpter syndicate, composed of W. E. Saunders, C. S. MUler, Lewis Walker. Anthony Mohr, J. M. McPhee and C. E. Peterson, has been organized to exploit the coal fields of the John Day Valley. The syndicate has, through options, leases and purchases, secured contrbl of 1.10 acres of land lying on the John Day River, 78 miles below Canyon City. Thla land lies in. what is considered the very heart of the coal fields, as ex posed by the outcrops of the coal seams. The coal occur several tnilo hnolr from the river at an elevation of from 600 to tOO feet above Its level. ' There Is a rapidly growing demand locally for even an inferior grade of coking coal, caused by the building of vnt oympwr mener, ana ine projection K vi otner smelting plants in thla district One drawback to the commercial value of the John Day coal Is the fact that U la at present Isolated from transpor tation lines. .
