ing the blame by imputation upon Mr.
J. H. Sherar. What possible reasons Mr.
Brown had for doing this, if he really
meant what he signified, is beyond our
ken. There is no more public-spirit
broad-minded a citizen in the country
than J. H. Sherar. He is always fore
most in every work to benefit his fellows
in the locality where he resides, and as
a matter of fact throughout thia entire
Bection of country, t would be as diffi
cult to conceive of Mr. Sherar cutting
down some one's private bridge at nifiit
or even hiring it done, as it would be to
conceive of DeWitt Talmage "bucking
he tiger," or Robert G. Ingersoll seek -ing
the mourner's bench at a Methodist
revival. There are some things certain
natures are incapable of doing, and Mr.
Sherar's reputation for good sense, as
well as his straightforward character in
all business and social life, protects him

Word comes to this city today from
samples of ore, sent to Portland to be
.assayed, which is representative of the
re belt thouzht to exist near- Golden-
ale. The samples comprised about two
ounds in weight. The answer came
ack that it does not contain a trace of
gold nor silver, and the material is char
acterized by the aBsayer to be a volcanic
ash, technically called tufa. The as
sayer epoke of ore coming from that
vicinity which contains a faint trace of
gold, red oxide of iron being the promi
nent characteristic.

Articles of incorporation have been
filed in the clerk's office of the Cape
Horn Mining Co., with a capital stock
of $3,500. The incorporators are Messre.
I. H, Taffe, R. Hesse, J. P. Mclnerny,
E. J. Collins, C. B. Johnson, A. Bettin
gen and James L. Taffe. The business
of the corporation is to engage in placer
mining on the following-named claims,
situated -in Wasco county: "Evening
Star," "Morning Star," "Kitty," "Blue
bird," "Sixteen to One," "Sunrise" and
"Golden Fleece."
The above-named and designated
claims comprise a little gold field all by
itself, containing 220 acres of gro'und
below Celilo Falls, and within the space
comprised by the Columbia' river and
the railroad from north to south and
bounded by ridges of rock on the east
and west. Every foot of it is pay dirt
from the surface down. It is part of the
old river bed where once flowed the
Columbia. It has been worked over for
years by Chinamen, who were satisfied
to work with the primitive rocker and
clean up from $1.50 to $4 per day,
TUB IWRiuan y have Cwned the claims
about eight months, and have done
more than enough development work to
entitle them to hold the property. This
work consists of a flume, from Celilo
Falls to the diggings, and a shaft. The
deeper the -ehaft has been sank, the
richer has been the pay. They are now
in a black gold-bearing sand, which
averages 25 cents to the pan. Twenty"
five cents a pan, or' even one cent,
means fabulous riches, if the pay dirt
holds out. There is no fear on this
Bcore. It is uniformity impregnated
with the precious metal, having been
deposited aa placer by centuries of ac
tion of the rolling currents of the Col
ombia river. If bed rock is once struck
it will be literally coated with gold.
The company having plenty of water
and fall for it, and sufficient capital be
hind it, will operate the field according
to the latest approved method. They
will flume the water to a. bulkhead,
where it will enter a large hose and turn
the force loose from a nozzle the rezu
lar hydraulic process. The dirt will
thus be forced through flume boxes,
when the gold, being heaviest, will sink
t3 the bottom and be held by cross
pieces or riffles, while the dirt, robbed
of the precious metal, will go onward
through the boxes and form piles of
what is caled "tailings." -.
The shaft has been sunk to the present
level of the Columbia, where water was
encountered. Pumps -will be employed
to keep the water out.
There is no doubt that paying gold
fields can be found wherever there has
been an old river channel, and though
the Celilo field in nrnfttr wpll vrrallrl-
pthere are undoubtedly others both above
fund below it. It is very likely that the
Columbia river once floated at the base
of the Klickitat hills, about four mi les
from its present channel, and should the
present channel ever shift, though no
one will feel disposed to wait for that,
old may be found a foot thick on the
bed rock at the bottom. This is proven
by the sand everywhere along the river,
which always Ehows "colors."
