' , .-VOIi VIII. iivrnv. nijuark-vr .mi'iniC - .mm wi- Iv i THE MINES OF TELOCASET. A Disinterested Party ViBlts Them and Gives His Opinion. Tklocasei, Oregon, Dec. 21st, l.S'JI Editoii Scout: I enclose you a conv of n letter I received from Mr. Downey," after 1 I. . .! ! I . I .... - uuvuiK visucu me "ijntes-Kllis ' ledce at Telocasct. By his permission I semi you a copy, which you might find appropriate ioryour sew Year's edition. Mr. Downey is a practicable miner of over 3o year s exptnence, ami is known in min ing circles In Oregon, California and Xc vada. Not being interested in any of the mines of this locality or Tnion county, his spin. ions nave greater stgnllicencc than were they from interested parties. The "Big Ledge," as we call it (which Is the Cates-Ellls) is the rock ot the character of Bnlsley Elkhorn ore, and that resemb ling the Cracker Creek ore is a new llnd Which I discovered a few days ago, and is trom loo to 300 feet wide, and crops out over one-halt mile. Yours truly, ' AV. A.Cates. Baker City, Oregon, Dec. 18th, 1891. A brief visit to tlio recent discoveries at Telocaset, took your visitor about two miles southwest of said station, close to the banks of Powder river. My fewltnes will givo but an Incomplete description of the magnitude and extent of this now mineral district, but I have no dpubt that before long a more able mineral ogist, and a more eloquent pen, will describe to the outside world the nature and composition of this prospective "Treadwell" No. 2. To call these discoveries a ledge, or even a true fissure, would do them but little justice; it is actually a big deposit, nay, a mountain of gold and silver bearing rock the former predominating. At the present writing 1 am unable to tell the exact values of this ore body, but if it carries but one-tenth of tho mineral that quite reliable assays claim for it, a future awaits this great camp, second to none west of the great divide. Attempts have been made to discover the walls enclosing this enormous deposite but in vain. It extends from a minimum width of about 50 feet, to a maximum, where the GOO foot end lines of quartz loca tion are not broad enough to contain it within Its boundaries. The rock is not un like Cracker Creek rock, In many places, while in others you could not tell the differ ence from llalsley's Elkhorn ore, assays ranging from $15.50 to $160 per ton. As already mentioned, nothing that can properly be called walls has been found, but suifaco indications point to tho fact that this deposite is confined between gran ite of a reddish cast, and porphyry. About 15 locations have been made so far, De velopement work is progressing favorably, and in a fow month:, if all Indications are not treacherous, this camp will astonish natives and foreigners alike. Yours Respectfully, Akchie Downey, Sr. THAT BIO POTATO. More Facts Concerning the Prize Others Should Compete r Editor Scout: I am just in receipt of a letter from Wm. Henry Muule, the great seeds man of Philadelphia, Pa., and quote, the following from his letter, that your many readers interested in farming may sco that with a little exertion and t,lie uso of tho best varieties of garden seeds the soil and climate of Union county will not only produce tho very best varieties of all agricultura prod ucts, but by honest competition wo not only advurtiso our cmmtiy and its resources, but we can win tho prizes, etc. Mr. Maulo's loiter Bays : Bkn Longley, New Bridge, Or. Dear Sm t It gives me pleasure to inform you that your Freeman Potato was the best received in competition for the cash prize offered in my 1891 catalogue, consequently you will find enclosed herewith draft No. 2980 on the Third National Bank of this city, .Philadelphia, for one hundred dollars, amount of said premium. I will slato that myeolf and several .neighbors will make an extra effort 'next season to capture more of Mr. Maule'fl cash prizes, and invito the whole Pacific coast' to buy Maulo's needs for tho next year, particularly Eastern Oregon, and compete wiUi us oyal Baking Powder Has no Equal. The United States Official Report Ol' the Government Baking Powder tests recently made, under authority of Congress, by the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, furnishes the highest authoritative infor mation as to which powder is the best. The Official Report shows the ROYAL superior to all others in leavening power; a cream of tartar powder of highest quality. The Canadian Tests: tc 1 The strength of the Royal is shown to be 23 per cent, greater than any other. "As a result of my investigations I find the Royal Baking Powder far superior to the others. It is pure, contains none but whole some ingredients, and is of greatest strength " F. X. Valade, "Public Analyst, Ontario, " Dominion ,' (.'tiii(la."
