MYSTERY HAS BEEN
FULLY EXPLAINED

STILLCOWIING IN
PERHAPS NQJHALF THE USUAL
AMOUNT IN POUNDS ARE.
" ' 'HERE. YET. .
While the general prediction ia
Just why Enterprise lost the ball that the wool clip of this spring will
game to Elgin has finally been ex
plained. Cashier Holmes of the bank,
during hte recent visit to Portland,
puurchased ' two "claptraps" to be
used In mailing a noise at such gath
erings as ball games' when the -home
team ie winning.' One "claptrap",
Is constructed of a small frying pan
with wooden clappers on a stiff
spring. When the frying pan to
shaken the clappers strike the pan
on both sides, making a noise that
makes thunder sound like dropping
cotton on a still morning to use he
late Mr. Dana's expression. The
other la an ingenious Invention, a
hollo,w cylinder" of wood with- wood
en clappers on each side, and when
in violent operation sounds a good
deal like a saw mill in chains. Mr.
Holmes la guilty of having these
things In his pocket, according to re
port, and with not using them once,
when one shake from the frying pan
"claptrap" or Just half a shake from
the wooden1 apparatus that sounds
like a sawmill; would have (won the
game easily. This neglect coat En
terprise the game, and thus consti
tutes a most serious offense which,
doubtless, will be considered at the
next meeting of the Twilight League.

heavy as that of last year, tne
crop" is still coming in and is keep
ing the jWairehouse force in Enter
prise worn out with handling It and
keeping it away from the unloading
wagons. An estimate of the entire
clip that will be stored here la im
possible to be made at this time. In
an Interview with Manager Knapp
of the Warehouse company, that gen
tleman kindly took time from work
ihat was- very pressing to explain
that any estimate approximating the
full clip would be practically impos
sible now. ; . - -
The only wool sales day, so far
officially assigned for Wallowa coun
ty Is scheduled for July 12. The
price of wool is slowly rl lag, the
last sale on June 14 at Vale bring
ing forth bide from one to two

Rock sale. ' '..
New Elevator Working.
The" ne,w - e'.eva-'-or fon elevating
the bundles of wool has been Hn op
eration since its arrival at the ware
house. It Is an utter necessity;
The bundles will weigh! from 2D0 to
400 pounds- each, and the men handl
ing them, before the Installation of
the new machine, were worn com
pletely out physically. Added to the
weight is the unwleldlness of the
new bundles which renders It Im
possible 'for them - to be readily
handled and .lifted by hand to the
topmost tiers. . -:-
' The , new elevator, however, sim
plifies 'the flatter 5 wonderfully.' It
la run by gdsollne motor power, with
a rising carrier In an endless chain,
and'aVthe ' iter - of "bundles grow
higher the carrier is elevated at a
more acute angle. This carrier extends-
from the floor, over the' gaso
line engine, to the place of deposit
ing the bundles. . Two men carting
the wool to the carrier and one man
taking it away and piling It up con
stitute the farce, In addition to Man a
leer Knapp. , , s '
At a rough estimate the number
of sheep to the' county before the
24,000 head were shipped out a fe,w
days ago was In the neighborhood of
3( 0,000, f igurlngt the increase from
last year's stock of 180,000 to be
about 90 per cent. Deducting the
shipment of 24,000 made ai few weeks
ago, a rough estimate, of the num
ber of head In the county would be
about 275,000. '
1275 Sacks Of
Wool Received
Clip of Wallowa County Still
Coming Into the, Local-.. ,; .
Warfiouse
Although the wool clip of the
county is lighter than was at first
anticipated, the article la piling up
In the Wool growers' Warehouse here,
tod there Is no apparent end to it
in sight. Already 1275 sacks, aggre
gating 426,926 pounds, have been ele
vated and stored up In tiers! In the
big warehouse building, and It Is ex
pected that by the time tlhe total clip
.3 stored It -will fill the big building.
When the wool began to arrive the
antlre upper floor of the warehouse
was filled with grata wheat, oats,
rye and barley. It was found neces
sary to move all this Immense
amount of grain to the basement. Ac
cordingly a temporary opening ,was
node In the floor and the grain
shunted by hand to the basement
md wheeled to Its place and piled
:n sacks, tier upon tier. This base
oa it floor is now practically filled
with grain. On either aide of the
iriveway grain Hes In sacks twenty
five feet thick to the sides of the
building. In order to protect it from
germination It Is raised upon open
wooden foundations, thus permitting
Jie atr to circulate freely .under and
iround it. '.J
The entire first floor was thus
Bleared for wool, and It Is being rap
Idly filled ,UP. .
PROMISES A BIG
GOLD PRODUCER
WILSON BASIN FIND ONE OF THE
BEST IN LIFE OF EASTERN
OREGON.
Word came to Enterprise last week I
of an immensely rich strike of gold
quartz. In Wilson Basin. The mes
sage received by E. T. Andersoa was
follows: ,
"Lostlne, Oregon.
"Come to the mine at once. Sam
ples of gold are shipped you today.
Bring sacks for sacking, as ore is
too valuable to put on dumps."
The message was from John
Henry Wilson, an old miner and a
Wallowa county resident ' ,who has
bevn and continues to be enthusiastic
over the outlook for' this county as
a mineral producing section.
The Enterprise Press1 wishes toj be
conservative in all Its statements and
desires rather to understate .than to
overstate any matter, when It comes
to "boosting." "
In such a vein of conservatism1 the
paper will say: First, the sample
of gold quartz shown a. press repre
sentative Is better than a sample of
gold quartz examined by- the same
representative In the Medicine Bow
district of southern Wyoming, which
went over $20,000 gold to the ton.
We do not know, nor do the mine
owners know, just how much) of such
gold ore the Big Dick and Little Joe
claims in the group contain. But
the two clalmsi contain at least some
of It, for some of It was found.' ' '
Mr. Anderson left the first of the
week for the mine. On his return
he brought samples with him which
show copper glamc in addition to the
gold quartz, a trace of silver, and an
excellent deposit of some of the 'best
graphite the Press representative has
ever seen. Graphite occurs In a zone
some four feet wide running over
head I the stringer In which the men
are driving. . The hanging wall Is of
changed granite and the whole foot
wall, ,we understand. Is a snow, white
quartz. This spring the men, left the
two old tunnels and drove in on a
stringer or feeder, the work taking
them over a hundred feet lower than
the two old tunnels. In -this string
er, after driving : twenty feet, the
rich gold ore and copper glanc were
found, and overhead the extensive
graphite deposit, was1 found.
The only question about this pros
pect is this: If the owners have &
primary deposit of the minerals al
ready shown, they have a big pro
ducer. If they haven't they have no
producer. And no one however ex
pert can see through solid -rock Into
the ground to de -ermine whether a
ledge runs 1000 feet or one mile or
one foot. Everybody to Wallowa
county sincerely hopes that the
mines will prove a tremendous pro
ducer. -
