Notice to Ilctliiqiirnts.
W'e recently sent out statements to a num
ber of our subscribers who are behind in
their subscriptions for sovcral years, offer
ing a liberal discount if they paid at once.
Most of them responded but sonic have paid
no attention to the matter, whatever. We
will ay to these that on the 10th dity of
April their accounts will lie placed in the
hands of an attorney with instructions to
collect or institute suit at once. After the
10th, settlement can only be made at the
rate of 2 per year on subscription. The
accounts of our Wallowa delinquent! will
be placed in the hands of II. F. liurlcigh,
who will be in Enterprise on the 15th of
April.
Sparta Minos.
The mines at Sparta are giving a very en
couraging outlook and it is not unlikoly
that one or more mills will be erected there
the doming summer. The Del Monto
group have very recently been exported by
a representative of New York capitalists
and it is said that a very favorable report
was made and a sale is almost a certainty.
The Little Pittsburg, Uig Pittsburg and four
other mines, all included in a group and in
the hands of an incorporated company of
AValla Walla parties arc being developed
extensively and are showing tine bodies of
high grade free milling ore.
Another Discovery.
hi connection with the reported discovery
of mines near Tclocaset on Powder river
we will say that Mr. Wm. Cales visited us,
Monday, and stated that he had also dis
covered what he believes to bean extremely
rich ledge, some three or foil" miles from
the line mentioned by our correspondent.
The vein is abottt three feet wide, of bluish
gray quartz, with live or six feet of iron ore
on either side. It is thought by experts
to be richer than the ore in the other local
ities. Specimens of I ho ore from both of
these disoveries tire to bo seen at this office.

Another Dramatics Treat.
Mr. John S. Lindsay and his talented

next week, in that popular drama, "The

this city a month ago. The evening of
their appearance lias not been decided on

A Vast Quartz Deposit Found
Near Telocaset.
A RUSH TO LOCATE CLAIMS.
Rich Assays, a Visible l.ctlgc and Hnthu
siastic Owners.
Tni.o(.sKT, April 1, 18S0.
Last week while on a hunting and pros
pecting trip down the hills skirting Powder
river, on the eastern side, about three miles
south of this place, Mr. Win. Ashby, who
resides on the Starks ranchc where the
road tirst strikes Powder River valley after
i passing the Telocaset divide, found what
I proved later to be one of the richest quartz
deposits that has been discovered in this
vicinity for many years.
The ledge is traceable for two or three
miles, cropping out here and there along
the ridges of the Powder river divide. It is
located in the richest parts, about three
miles from Telocaset, on the south bank of
Powder river, in easy access to this station.
' The quartz, is of a reddish brown color,
porous composition, and specks of free
gold are visible on tho outside of nearly ev
ery niece one can pick up. The ledge,
where visible, is from four to seven fect
wide, and holds its width splendidly as the
shaft being sunk goes down.
For miles on all sides of this place stray
pieces of good, genuine, first-class quartz
have been discovered from time to time for
several years, but this last strike has loca
ted beyond any reasonable doubt, what is
the ledge, and one of the best kind of ledges
yet found in Eastern Oregon. It is a burnt
rock, and as some prehistoric volcanic ac
tion down in the bowels of mother eartli
has reduced the gold to a molten state,
and it lias doubtless all been run or moul
ded down, as the natural result of a molten
metal. Consequently the farther down the
ledge goes the richer it gets.
From the present outlook this new find
will develop into something not equaled
since the discovery of the Sacramento find
in 181!) It has been a known faet thatgolcl
was to be found down on the banks and
sand bars of Powder river. Some two or
three men made, from 5.00 to ?L00pcr day
with only a pick, shovel and pan. It was
free, scale gold, and this ledge proves that
here in the barren hills of Eastern Oregon
lies yet what may be an '80, and not u '49.
Mr. Ashbv took some of the medium val
uable pieces of rock to the iissaycr at Baker
City, which assayed from I42.T5 to 223.60
per ton. As yet six men have located valu
able ledges on the scene and could not be
bought off now for a good sized fortnno.
Mr. Ashby is an experienced miner and un
derstands thoroughly the workings and ap
pearance of the mine. Ho has faitli in it.
Mr. C. F. Hinckley, a man of many years'
experience, lias located a claim and is go
ing to work at once.
An Omaha man offers to take the ore
and reduce the gold from it for the sulphur
ed of iron the rock contains. It looks flat
tering now, and perhaps the insignificant
city of the summit may bloom out yet in
the richness and wealth of a now found
Eldorado. H. W. HikkmaN.
