RAKER CITY MINES.
A few days ago wc expressed the
opinion that the era of gold mining
in the Northwest had only begun;
that the demand for gold as a money
metal bv all the nations of the earth
had given gold irining an additional
impetus, and that the great golden
storehouse of the world was not
Africa, but Eastern Oregon and
"Washington, Idaho and British Co
lumbia. Since writing that article we have
visited linker City, in this state, and
even a brief and cursory examina
tion of that section convinced us that
our predictions arc not 011I3 true,
but that that particular section is to
be, in the near future, the greatest
mining camp in the world. The
mountains and hills surrounding
linker City arc all mineral bearing,
and the bedrock is ribboned with
ledges of high grade ore. The open
ing of the Virtue mine after years of
idleness did much towards giving
mine-owners hope and encourage
ment, and in the past two years much
prospecting and development work
has been done, with results simply
astounding.
Standing at the depot a fiiend
boxed the compass for us with min
ing districts all showing high grade
ores, all with mills and coneentiators
going up, We have spent the larger
portion of our life in mining camps;
but never sav anything like the con
ditions at Baker City. At Virginia
was the Comstock, at "While Pine,
Austin, Aurora, Bodie. Pioche, Min
eral Hill, and the hundreds of other
Nevada mining camps, there was one
or two ledge? oniy ; but Baker has
u dozen prosperous camps, Cracker
Creek, (liobinsonville, Cornucopia,
Greenhorn, Sparta, and we know
not how many other jewels, in her
crown.
The proverb says, "Cows far off
wear long horns," and foi this reason
mining men have passed by Baker to
rush to Bossland, to Alaska, to Peace
river, anywhere so it was far away.
But this has changed. Keen-sighted
mining men, experts
shed tears of joy down Mac's shirt col
lar. When J. Thorbtirn Ross and Wnlluce
McCatnant first reached Washington, so
the former says, they "encountered n
very unkindly sentiment with regard to
seating Mr. Corbett." But when Ross
turned his influence loose, and McCatn
ant unveiled Ins brief, the sentiment
changed. Doubt fled shrieking back to
her gloomy caverns, and the clouds that
lowered over the house of Corbett, went
flying away like morning mists before
a Biscay gale.
It .is welcome news that the right
man was found way out here in Oregon
to throw light on this dark subject, to
illuminate the gloomy pathway where
the senetorial gaitars habitually peram
bulate, and to point out to the weary
senators the course, and the only course,
possible for them to pursue. Had it not
been for Ross and McCatnant, what
would the country have come to, any
how? The question might have been
settled without due process of law, or
under a mistaken conception of the
manner and means of the hold-up ; but
with the light of McCamant'e intelligence
turned on in the full blaze of its incan
descent glory, the devious roads of the
political reptiles became as the flower
bestrewn paths whereon a blushing
bride miaht walk with trusting feet.
"Oregon ferninst the world!" and
"Bnllv for .McCatnant!"

"We predict for linker City the

ment as will place her at the head

camps, twenty or more of them in
mining pursuits.
