NEW MINERAL.
A 4 foot vein of cobalt has been die
covered over on Dixie Butte. As far as
known, this is the only extensive dis
covery of cobalt deposits made in the
state. The question is where to find
a market for this metal. While oobalt
is used extensively in the arts and in
manufacture of dyes, producing a bright
purple coloring matter, its use is con
fined almost exclusively to Europe. In
this country there is but, one manutac
turing plant using oxide of cobalt and
that is the American NIckle Works ot
Camden, N. J.

SOUTHWEST FROM HEPPNER.
Burton Valley, Nov. 5, 1900
Editor Gazette: The thriving con
dition of the people in this part of the
county prompts me to send you some
news items. We have had a most
bountiful harvest. The early fall rains
started the grass early, and as a result
all stock is in fine condition to'stand
the winter. The country is being rapid
ly transformed, disrobing its frontier
appearance, we are rapidly transform
ing our ranches into well improved,
well equipped, modern homes. Our
young orchards are coming in, bearing
apples, pears, plums, prjunes and
cherries. " Our fruit is free from worms
and of the best quality. Many fruit
trees have been olanted here in the past
three years. I have five acres of choice
fruit trees bearing the different varieties
of fruit.
We have a good sawmill here with a
capacity of 10,000 feet per day, and
owned and operated by W. L. Mallory.
The mill has been running continuously
since early summer and wilt continue
as long as the weather will permit
The lumber has been hauled away as
fast as cut. I am going to build a sheep
shed 60x100 feet, but will have to wait
until the mill can cut the lumber. Will
need 1000 feet of flooring, which I will
have to haul from Heppner.
There are now In Hardman - five
new buildings in course of construction
Enterprise and prosperity reigns on
every hand.

LONDON WOOL AUCTIONS.

wools in increased demand at dearer
rates for best qualities. Merinos sold
well at 5 to 10 per cent below the July

dencv due to increased American and
Continental competition. The home
trade absorbed cross breeds and Cape of
Good Hope and Natals sold readily.

and furnishing goods, pipes, tobacco
candy and nuts all these are sold at T
R. Howard's store.

HEPPNER'S GROWTH.
The town of Heppner has always
kept pace with the growth ot the sur
rounding region, but has never un
wisely boomed ahead of it
Heppner's growth has been, gradual
and steady, and is now keeping up its
usual pace. There is not a desirable
vacant dwelling in the town, and quite
a sprinkling of new- ones - have been
erected this fall. Several others are
projected, the latest being one for
Frank Roberts, which will be located on
the bench north of the court house,
where Senator Morrow has placed sev
eral sightly lots on sale. The house
will be well built by days' work, and all
the material will be furnished by Wills
& Patterson.
It is an ideal location, with the mill-
race above it to furntsh irrigaliog water
and make things grow.
BRICK FLUES.
It has come so gradually that no one
has noticed it, but it has become too
common a practice to run stovepipes
through roofs in many Heppner build
ings. -
Of course they are safe enough if fires
do not occur, but they often cause fires,
and the building that uses them for
flues takes big chances.
The map-maker for the fire insurance
companies, who was recently here,
discovered altogether too many stove
pipe flues, and his report may cause a
raise in insurance rates.
Fifteen years ago, when the first brick
flues began to be built in Heppner, the
brick were hauled from Weston and
cost ten cents each here. Now brick
may be bought in Heppner at cents
each, and brick flues are the safest and
best.
FOOTBALL.
Perfect weather prevailed Saturday
afternoon when the Heppner and Baker
City football teams contested on the
depot grounds. (
There was a large crowd in attend
ance, and Heppner won, 15 to 0.
The Heppner line-op was as follows:
Saling ,' . ".. .Center

BUILDING 1 MATERIAL.
The most complete concern of its kind
in the northwest is the Heppner Lum
berCo., whose enterprising proprietors
are keeping pace with the growth of the
town and surrounding country. They
have stocked up with everything used
in the construction of any kind ot a
building, and keep on hand lumber,
doors, windows, shingles, brick and
lime. They have now one of the biggest
and' best stocks ver seen iu Heppner
at one time. -'
WHEAT.
Great big loads of wheat continue to
roll into Heppner, end the mill has
bought 30,000 bushels, and begins
grinding today. The warehouses here
have large quantities, and oceans of it
has accumulated along the Beppner
railroad. At lone large quantities have
recently been shipped away.
Heppner growers are firm holders,
and many of them look confidently for
bits. Jake Youug is holding 7000
bushels for that figure
Present pricts are 42 to 45 cents, with
no sales. '
Home-seekers with means, and invest
ors should coma here. On account of
the low pricea at which its lands are
offered, Morrow oounty expects to double
its population Ibis year. (Jood land cbd
be bought here at I.2o to 10 an acre.
I have for sale several Morrow

price? that one crop will repay
the entire purchase price.

GOOD GET OF A GOOD HORSE.
Everything goes to prove that Cal
furness is a good horse. B. F. Swag
gart brought in from bis ranch this
week and bad on exhibition in Hepp
ner nine of , Calfurness's colts,
sucklings and yearlings. They were
universally admired, and attracted
marked attention. Horsemen here who
have seen the greatest racing stables in
the country said that these colts were
equal and in many cases superior to
any they had seen.
The yearlings weighed from 800 to
S85 pounds, and are full of action and
style. Several good judges of horses
spoke for some of these colts and Mr.
Swaggart sold three on the spot.
Calfurness is an imported horse, and
was bought in California 4 years ago by
Ben Swaggart and Oscar Minor. His sire
was the great racing stallion July.
N. S. Whetstone took Gracie S, one
of Calfurness's 2-year-olJ fillies, to
the state fair, where she won the colt
race, and was bought by Pendleton
peop'e at $400. Mr: Whetstone was so
well satisfied with Calfurness colts that
he bought another one yesterday from
Mr. Swaggart.
The acquisition here of such a good
horse as Calfurness is a good thing for
the stock of this country.
