The Union-Cove nine was van
quished last Friday by the club of ex
perts from Portland, Pendleton and

slight hopes of winning after sizing
up tlio members of the so-called La
Grande nine. The home dub on tho
whole played a spiritless game, while
their antagonists played with a vim
throughout. Slocum was struck with
a bat, early in the game, but phickilv
continued playing, though unable to
do himself near justice. Smith played
ball, his batting in particular being
very line. Foter on first base did
line work until in a burst of seed
from lirst to second he became so hea
ted as to fear sunstroke, and modestly
retired. Shaw, of North Powder, took
his place. Goss on third base diil not
disappoint his admirers, accepting
nearly every chance oflured. Jovy
and Duicon played in their usual
form, making some good catches and
throws. The home team accomplished
omo ran' feats during the game, in
particular when touching out at every
base a batter making tho round
on a blocked ball. The giants can
scarcely congratulate themselves on
brilliant playing. They allowed
their opponents fifteen scores, tho ma
jority of which were unearned. Tho
"corn field railors" havw not yet given

again before long.

OUR CAMP A SILVER FRODUCEF1.
A One Hundred-stamp Mill The North
Star Mine -New Developments.
CoRNtToru, June 17, 1SS0.
Editor Oregon Stout:
"Never say die but keep n stiff up
per lip," is a proverb which requires a
huge amount of Spartan courage to
practice and follow, and of that virtue
a newspnper man possesses a larger
portion than anv other class of citizens.
My lirst letter to Tun Scorr on the
lfith of March was the first of a so"ies
that have continued without intermis
sion since. In that letter the beauties
of this portion of Oregon were painted
as they appeared to me, and in suc
cessive letters the practical merits of
this mineral region have been fully
portrayed. In my second communi
cation several mines were specified and
a prophecy was ventured that Cornu
copia was de.-tined to bo the most im
portant camp in Oregon. I still ad
hero to the statements made in those
letters, although tho ell'ort to breathe
the breath of life into dry bones is
somewhat laborious and sometimes
discouraging.
To say that I have received no re
ward for my services would hardly bo
correct, but I doubt if the renders of
The Scorr or the citizens of Cornu
copia would say there had yet been
much of a boom. Still wo nro looking
for a great change which I shall in
duo time have the pleasure of announc
ing, and from present indications shall
have that pleasure oro tlio 1th conies
and goes.
RKl'OKTRI) SAI.K.
It was reported yesterday on the
streets that tho Simmons' group had
been sold. As to the truth of the re
port I have naught to say. It is ti
property second to none in tho cnnip,
and has been sufficiently developed to
show its great value.
UNION MINK.
A large body of oro has been latoly
uncovered in this mine under the work
of Mr. Burdette. Tho body of free
gold is increasing as also is tho propor
tion of silver.
NORTH STAR MINK.
The North Star mino was located on
tho 10th of June, 1885, and was among
the first claims located in the district.
Mr. Ludiker, the locator, was at that
time proprietor of a flouring mill sit
uated in the center of Fine Valley.
This claim is situated about ouo-half
mile from Cornucopia, nearly adjoin
ing and southeast of tho Bed Jacket.
This mine is now owned by Ludiker it
Ilolcomb. Adjoining and near by are
tho Alia and Robert Emmett and a
mile southeast is the celebrated Allen
& Cox. The ledge is three feet wido
at tho mouth of a tunnel which is in
twenty feet. The breast u about fif
teen feet below tho surface. The ledge
hero begins to assume nearly a perpen
dicular position, with walls of terpen
tine at the breast of tho tunnel. The
oro is highly mineralized and is easily
worked. It. in fact, is nearly like its
immediato neighbor, tho Bed Jacket.
Spocimens from each laid side by side
cannot be distinguished, the ono from
tho other. The mino is on tho same
slopo with tho Bod Jacket nnd has
about the same pitch, and is admirably
located for easy development. The
highest assay made in Portland was a
little over ijvJOO per ton the sample
taken at the point of discovery. Tak
ing the assays from various samples
tlio owners claim it will average (i0
per ton. Tho rock also carries silver
and siKicimoiis shown nearly resemble
tho Gould & Curry oro of Virginia
City. The proprietors will do onten
sive development work this summer.
A St. Ljuis compuuy lias become iu
toiosted in this property and s.oino
member of it will bo hero by August
1st. Mr. Ludiker has just returned
from that city and has given the
names of the parties composing the
company some of whom are known to
your corresondoiit, whom 1 dosiro to
congratulate on their proapect of be
ing the owners of a good propoi ty in n
district that bids fair to bu the coming
camp this summer.
HIJ.VlSIt INCRKAHINO.
It appears as though it is only a
question of depth to settle this district
down to u great silver producor. Sil
ver lodges run deeper uud as a genoral
rule an moro regular than gold; hence
the change from tho yellow to tho
white metal is encouraging in the ex
treme. TKU.111HM.
I wish that I could send you n pound
of the above-named ore, with any as
suiancc that it would reach Union on-tin-
and us it came from the ground.
It is liable (o ennoble so if you want a
gold uud silver paper weight you must i
conn- and get it in person.
There has at last Is en an arrival
from Loiusvill. , Ky., in the jterson of
Mr. Hhultz f tin- o U. M. Company
ishing; Tackle, etc., at I
of that city. What the gentleman
thinks of his possessions here don't
know, but I heard it whispered that a
hundred stamp mill would take the
place of the twenty stumps now in op
eration. That would be an exhibition
of business courage which neither
that company or any other one In Or
egon has ever shown. Oh I for the
mantle of Senator Sharon to fall upon
some of the brave explorers of the "in
ner earth." Kentucky may boast of
her stump orators, but as hard rock
speakers Nevada takes the cake.
Captain Tyler arrived from Portland
last week and, after a few days' rest,
struck out for tho hills, Where ho and
friends have large interests. Mr. tai
consier, the mining expert from Spo
kane Falls, will follow in a few days,
to examine some property for some
Portland capitalists. -Whether it will
be the Simmons or Stein group lean
not say. Captain Tyler h.s lost no
faith in Cornucopia and says there
will be other mills hero soon.
ON14 tlUNMHtKO STAMPS.
Your readers from the "cow coun
ties" have, I am sure, a very slim com
prehension of the inclining of one hun
dred stamps. It means a large and
powerful engine lifting nnd dropping
one hundred eight hundred pound
weights of iron, and reducing to a
I powder two hundred tons of oro every
I day; it means daily and constant la
bor for one hundred men at !?3 oO to
!?! 00 per day; it means the sale of
, several of our largo mines; it means a
j huge town in this portion of Union
county; it. means the addition of two
I or three millions of dollars to the tx
j ablo properly of Union county; it
i means stage lines, hotels, stores, school
j houses and churches; it means life
I and energy; it means an active market
1 for all that Union county can raise.
If this is worth laboring for then strip
oil' your coats and wade in, at least
wake up. Other countries have done
all this and more. There is more ore
hero than in Alaska, and one hundred
times richer. At Juneau one company
runs 1580 stamps. Now let old Ken
tucky take courage and start up. an
even hundred.
Tho glorious Fourth will be celebrat
ed very generally in this part of tho
county. Baudin will "sieze the Amer
ican eagle by the spurs and raiso him
so high that his feet hanging down
ward will scorn to touch tho star.4."
Ho will narrate in Pino valley.
'ni:w oiivnuoi'MnxTS.
Tho Bunker Hill, owned by JU. B.
Brown and James Mackay, was located
last May, and within a few days a por
tion of the ledge has been uncovered.
It shows flakes of free gold, like layers
of mica. So it goes; every day corns
prospector drops in with cheering
uows, and brings jiosilive evidenco of
new additions to tho mineral wealth in
sight. This ledge is about three
fourths of a milo from the Simmons'
group, and one-fourth of a milo north
of tho Slate. The ledge is about two
feet wide and is well defined, and ono
which, until lately, has not been very
highly regarded, ft will now be fully
prospected.
Tho Dunbar is on tho Bobcrt Em
mett ledge, about one-fourth of a milo
north. Tho ore leoks well and assays
well. Work is now being done and its
owners aro confident of having a good
property. BAUDIN.

Tho following description of the
thriving town of North Powder, and
vicinity, is taken from tho Pacific Ex
press :
North IVwd.-r is situated On Iho
banks of a stream of the same name,
about thiity miles from tho city of Un
ion uud in Union county, and about
the same distance from Baker City.
Situated about, the center of Powder
river valley, east and west, the sur
loundiii), scmery is one of grandeur.
To the west, southwest ami northwest,
at a distance of about ten to fifteen
miles is seem the Blue Mountain
range, with its shaggy and craggy
peaks- and at this season of tho year
covered with snow, presenting to the
eye- an almo; t insurmnuutabro barrier
to. ingress or egress; yet over those are
passes through which travel is main
tained throughout the entire year.
To the east and northeast is seen the
IJagle creek range, presenting nearly
the same appearance as tlio Blue
Mountains of which, in fact, they are
a spur. Tn the south you havo the
j Powder river valley, dotted with its
j buttcs, and U'yond Baker City, until
j again, ns far as the eye can reach, you
I catch a dim vision of tho circling llluo
Mountains. Thi mountain scenery

w" H-' nun .i,v. inclining
on the Pacific Crust, is of such fre
quency to some that they become
monotonous and insipid, while to
others tiny have an inspiring, soul-uplifting
tendency. Tho valley around
North Powder, oven up to' the foot
hilltj, is all susceptible of cultivation,
in some places ncediug irrigation but
in others growing excellent crops with
out it. Wheat yields about .'15 bushels
to tho acre, oats GO, barley (10, rye 20,
timothy from 1 to 3 tons per aero, and
alfalfa grows well. Stock raising is
carried on to a considerable extent in
horses, cattle and sheep. There are a
number of herds of blooded cattle in
tho immediato vicinity of North Pow
der, which are iljng well.
North Powder is tho center of trade
for quite a large section of country,
reaching out into a radius, on either
side, of ton to twelvo miles, thereby
giving it ascopo of at least 400 square
miles from which it draws its business.

There is oko a nourishing sooioty of
J. 0. O. F., two churches, tho Baptist
and Methodist Episcopal, and the Bap
tists are building both a, lino church
and a pan onage.
A tax has been lovicd to raise .$1,000
with which to build a now school
house, the present ono being too small
to accommodate the, present number
of children in the district, which nuni
bora one hundred pupils. Impiovc
monts are being made in the town and
some of them of quite a substantial
character. Mr. Gorham, of the firm of
Gorhum & Rothchild, is erecting a fine
two story building, which is being built
of stone quarried within tho vicinity of
tho town.
As a shipping point North Powdor
takes a from rank witli other shipping
points along the lino of tho O. R. fc N.
Go's. road. Spencer, Ramsoy & Hall
shipped from hero last year 1000 car
loutls of lumber to. Eastern uoiiils.
Other parties shipped about .'500 cur
loads, and besides about 700 car loads
of grain, wood, etc., making in all 2000
car loads of freight shipped from this
point, a showing which many larger
pluccs would be proud of, and which
would be hei aided abroad with a flour
ish of piintei's ink.
The Anthony creek mill and flume
company have a ilumo through which
they deliver their lumber to tlio rail
load track for shipment. They also
ship a .Wgo amount of lumber, but it
could not be ascertained how much.
A KhinuJo factory is manufacturing a
large quantity of shingles and ship
ping tin- Kiuie to Eastern points uud
there is not the Fust doubt but that if
the full iiuhilx r of car hsuk) of freight
shipjH'd bom North Powder could

There is quarrii d near here a fine
building stone, which is of so soft a
nature that when thst quarried it can
be cut with a saw, or knife, but when
it becomes exposed to the air it hard
ens as hard as granite; it withstands
bent and lire does not efl'ect it. This
stone, when its quality becomes
known, will be a source of revenue to
the owners of the ledge and fill a long
felt want for building stone.
A i oud is being built into the Cracker
Creek mines, which, when completed,
will bo the best and shortest route to
those mines. Good quartz ledges have
been found in the mines adjacent to
North Powder, which give an assay
equal to many others which arc being
blowcd by printer's ink into marvels of
production. Fine farming lands aro
well watered by the North Powder,
Wolf, Clover, Anthony and Muddy
creeks, nil of which arc adjacent to the
village of North Powder for business
and trade.
There aro also near tho town some
hot. mineral springs which aro said to
have curative qualities for many of tho
ills to which tho flesh is heir. Thcro
is a project on foot to bring into the
place a system of water works from
one of the clear mountain streams; yet
water is obtained in tho town at a
depth of from 10 to 18 feet and of ex
cellent quality and plentifulncss.
The O. R. it N- Go's, lands, which
lie near here, are again upon the mar
ket for sale. These aro fine lands and
are being inquired for by immigrants
who arc coining into this section quite
rapidly.
The following trades could find a
good place in North Powder, as thcro
are none within twenty-live miles, and
do a good business: Millinery and
dressmaking, harness and saddlery,
tin shop and bcots and shoos. This
would also bo a lino location for a
creamery, as tho farmers aro anxious
to engage in that business.
