EIGHT PAGES. DAILY EAST ORE GO MAN, PEXDLETOX, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 1908. rr f TAGZ THREE. SEARCH FOR INDIAN'S LOST COLD MINE The Wallowa Sun tells the following lntcreHtlng sory of the recent search for a gold mine reputed to have been found by the Indians In Wallowa county mountains yenrs ago: In the local columns the reader will find mention of the fact that T. B. Eurly and Red Thunder of Spo kane have been In the county, says the Pun. Their vlHlt recalls to the minds of many of the old settlers the. days .of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces and the many wonderful stories of the famous Indian gold lead. More than 30 years ago, according to the story of Stout Kl-yl, one of the oldest Indians and for years u friend of the whites, the gold was discover ed by an Indian hunter who had crip pled a deer and purxued It over rough ground Into what Is now known as Wilson basin. The ore was decomposed quartz and was readily broken off by the Indl' ens, who kept the secret of Its loca tlon as long as they were In the val ley, refusing to even take a horse to the place after the coming of the white man. For 20 years they gathered the yel low ore and carried It to Pendleton, Lewlston, The Dalles and other places, where they bartered It for the many baubles with which the white man de lighted the eye and robbed the purse of the simple child of nature. Ac cording to all reports, the ore was fab ulously rich. "It was heap yaller and alle-same rotton wood." says Stout-kl. Many white mfn have hunted for the famout lead, but hare been un able to locate It. The nearest loca tion they are able to trace Is Wilson basin, where some of the best mines of the county aro located. This con clusion was reached 24 years ago, when the Indians carried one of their number out of the mountains and sent to Josoph for a doctor to treat the wounds after he had been chewed UP by a grizzly. John Henry Wilson and others fol lowed the trail of the Indians back and found the lake where the grizzly had chewed up the Indian. The In dl.in had caught some fish and killed a deer," and It was to got these that th grizzly attacked him. I Time and again the white man has tried to bribe the 'Indian to tell where the lead Is to be found, but old Chief Joseph had promised a speedy and horrible death to the Indian who ever dlrclosed the location of the lead, and the Indians feared and obeyed -him. rtut two years ago the great chief tain died and the fear of his wrath passed away, and last spring his nephew. Red Thunder, lid Mr Knrly up the mountain from Lostlne In. an attempt to locate the lead, but the srwiwvas too deep and they could not reach It. The object of their trip was dis closed and many of the old prospect ors remembered the famous old In dian lead. The return of this nephew of the distinguished old warrior has started the Interest anew. Old Stout Kl-yi has often prom ised to show the way to the famous lead, but the fear of his dreaded chieftain has held him back, and now that the chief Is dead Stout ,Kl-yl Is blind and cannot lead 'the way to the famous old place. It is, probable that Mr. Early will be the fortunate heir to the secret that Chief Joseph held so long for the benefit of his tribe. However, several other claims have been staked In Wll son basin with a view of covering the lead should It ever be found, and It Is not Improbable that some of the claims already located will overlap the famous old Indian mine. The friendship of old Stout Kl-yl for the whites Is an Interesting bit of history. Years ago, before the Nez Perce war, the old Indian suffered Intense pain from having stepped on a nail, and John Henry Wilson ban daged his foot and cared for him. " This won his love, and when the Nez Perces started to fight for the Wallowa valley he refused to assist them. He had 200 war ponies and they took the ponies to win him over; but he remained true. Then the Indians took his son, but still his friendship for the whites wtu true, and when he learned the date and place of the attack he warned his friends and they fled the valley. In the Grand Honde valley they ral lied a force and returned. The Indi ans saw them and taking them for sol diers fled and made their attack In the nelghborhhood of White Bird, Idaho. Old Stout Kl-yl lost all but a dozen of his ponies and won the hatred of his tribe. He remained true to the whites, but always feared his old chieftain, al though he would not admit it. He often laughed about the threats of Chief Joseph and promised to show fhe way to the lost mine, but he al ways failed to do so, and now that his sight Is gone he will never betray the secret. That work Is left fori younger members of the tribe. ANOTHER NEW ROAD. DOCTOR ADVISED USE OF CUDA FOR THE SAKE OF ART.

' This could not be verified this afternoon because the contractor In question was not to bo found,, but that there Is something doing or going to be done along the route mentioned, there Is not much doubt.

A North Coast official admits that within the past two weeks his com pany has hod a locating party of en glneers about 40 miles from here, on the Columbia, but whether there Is any connection between that party and the grading contractor remains to be seen. There arc plenty of people who are ready to aver that the new scheme will be port and parcel of the Hill roads, either a part of the Northern Pacific or the Great Northern, It mat ters not whlah since they are under the same management. Others Insist that the Milwaukee Is already looking with envious eyes on the great territory along the Colum bia which would so surely open up a rich productive field for the trans portation concerns, while a third con tingent of prophets will not have It any other way than that the North Coast Is behind the Idea, always sup posing that the latter road Is owned by Itself, if the expression can b permitted, and. not by any of the larger corporations In the vicinity.
