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.

Ol' the Government Baking Powder tests recently made, under
