FABULOUS FIND
OF PLACER GOLD
Prominent Portland People
Getting a Company To
gether to Mine It Out of
. the Earth. '
A truly fabulous find of placer gold
lias been unearthed at the base of the
. mountains In the forest reserve in Idaho
county, Idaho, directly east of Wallowa
county. Or., and but a short distance
from this state's line. To secure this
treasure a company was recently Incor
porated ; with Hon. John B. Cleland,
judge in department No,' 8, state circuit
court, at its head, and associated with
his as officers and directors of the or
ganization are George la. Peaslee of the
Peasely Bros, company, owners of one
- of Portland's large lob printing estab
lishments, vice-president; Richard C
Hart, superintendent, of United States
lighthouses for this district, secretary
and treasurer: H. B. Perks, a mining
engineer of international reputation, en
gineer In charge and manager at the
mines, and W. A. Cleland, brother to
Judge Cleland, W. W. Peaselee, also of
the Peaslee Broa company, and Captain
J. F. Boone, a retired' river steamboat
oaptaln, directors. H. S. Har court, the
well known newspaper man, '., Is ' In
charge of the company's office affairs,
end these gentlemen are associating
. wiUt them as stockholders persons In
all parts of not only Portland and the
j'aoino normwest, out as xar east as
the New England states. In the great
bonanza they have , acquired. Among
these stockholders are found a large
number or placer . miners, many . o:
whom have known of ths existence o:
; the wonderful treasure bed for years.
but were not able to work it for the
reason that it reoulred S30.000 at the
start to procure machinery and piping
with which to' equip the property. The
. first move of the company was to. have
' Mr. ferKs engage a corps or miners
and. thoroughly- explore and test i the
ground, wtiicn covers &u acres, ana,
with its arms, Is 10 miles In length.
This was attended to during the months
of October and November, 1907, and so
rich was the tract that the matter was
kept secret until all legal interests had
: been attended te, which was carefully
none oy.tne two atrorneys in ins com-
fany. - When all was ready for the
aunching of the enterprise, apartment
120 Commercial club building, this
city, was secured, and an Issue of 120,
000 shares of treasury stock was put
upon me maraei ai ZD cents per snare,
Its oar value bains: 60 cents tier share.
This has been largely subscribed by rel
atives and friends of the Incorporators,
end it is expected will all be taken very
uiceiy mis month, or at Dest before trie
end' of July. Mr. Perks had a small
force of men working all winter on the
company's ditches, and now has 12 mi
ners and laborers employed installing
,a sawmill and preparing for the reoep
tlon of more than 80,000 pounds of oth-
. r material en route. , tso soon aa all is
landed on the ground a larger force will
.be set at work, and by August 16, or
- not later than September 1 It la-ex-,
pected to have the company's giants at
work,- and by. December 1, the company
is confident It will return to each stock
holder the entire amount of his invest
iment, and for the next 25 vears pay
'dividends of from tOO to 400 per cent on
ii ouuutnaing stocs. This is the pre
diction of the men behind the proposi
tion. Snd thofie who mnat Infimaalv
know them will at once agree that they

. A question often and reasonably asked
by many persons who for ths first time
. rr"1 .f this wonderful channel bed
of gold, is how that It has lain Idle and
nShSd lop hftlf century when more
w,u ,iVU,uuv,VUg were mined rrom the
fuich,'".rBip?m wto'tt between J 160
and IMS. The answer is that this
ground .could not be mined without
gravel elevators, and it never n. K.n
