In the locality where the claims are now filed ipon, and in scouting for game on horseback 'Mr. Ratcllff found some rock' that oppeared to be mineralized and that differed con siderably from any local rock. Pick ing up a few bits of "float" ' he. brought them Into the camp the men had made; and ' the' rocks were ex amined. Little or nothing was done at the' time, and Mr. Ratcllff went to Salem where he has since re mained. ' Saet Similar Rock. Just recently Mr. Ratcllff stepped into an asaayer'e office In Salem, and while there observed some rock vhk;h bore a striking resemblance to that discovered 20 yeara ago while he and hie. old army chum, Mr. Ned row,' .were hunting In Wallowa coun ty..' Finding that the specimens In the asaayer'a office , carried values In tin, Mr. Ratcllff came to Enter prise, and together with hU army chum went into 'the old hunting grounds again,' rediscovered the min eral ledge, took samples for assay, and found that the rock carries at che very sui see a trace of plati num, plenty of Iron, $1.10 in silver, $2.60 In' gold, and a trace of tto. Th.4 gentlemen ' immediately -went down some nine, feet -on the vein and took out a bag of ore samples that will be assayed to determine Just how the mineral ruo a' the vein descends. 1 We do first-class Job work.
