HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
MININQ NEAR QOLD MILL.
CRUDE OIL FOUND IN
Considerable Activity Sbowa on Old aa
Marion County People are Much Bx-
cited by the Discovery.
Gold Hill— The Condor Power A
Mining company is placing a new steel
wagon bridge across Rouge river just
below the Ray dam at Gold Ray.
L. T. Pock man, representing San
Francisco capital, has bought the
Hawkeye American Mining claim in
the Willow 8prings mining district,
and has moved a complete mining out
fit out to camp with a small force to
commence development on the prop
erty.
___In near vicinity to this property Ro
bert Allison and associates have taken
a lease and bond on the Schump mine
and are cleaning out and retimbering
the old tunnel, from which, the own
ers, a few years ago, took out several
thousand dollars in free milling ore.
The Lucky Bart mine, on Sardine
creek, has been leased to J. W. Hays
and partners, who are now doing con
siderable development work.
J. M. Patrick has taken a year’s lease
on the Braden mine, two miles east of
town, and ip working quite a force
o f men on same. W hile repairing and
fitting up the ten-stamp m ill now on
the property he has leased the Bowden
m ill at Gold H ill, through which he
will run Borne 200 or 300 tons of Bia-
den ore. This mine has produced
large quantities of pay ore in the past;
and as Or. Ray has been steadily ex
ploiting and blocking out ore in this
property for the past five years it now
faas immense ore reserves in sight, suf
ficient to keep the present ten-stamp
m ill running a number of years.
The large ore bodies in this mine,
in places from 1 to 20 feet in width,
are found and opened to a depth oi be
tween 400 and 500 feet, thus adding
another case to refute the old and well-
established theory that there are no
thing but “ pocket mines” in 8outhem
Oregon.
Messrs. Simons and Hawley are
prospecting E. E. Miners’ placer
ground on Earns creex with a view of
demonstrating its adaptability
for
dredging purposes, and are meeting
with very flattering results.
Salem— There is yet a remote possi
bility that oil may be struck in Marion
county, as the most recent discoveries
would seem to indicate. At the town
of. Pratuma, about 10 miles from
8alem, three lean old well in the near
of the home and blaoksmith shop owned
by the Rice Bros.
This well has been abandoned for
several months because it “ roared,”
that is, made a noiae like the sound
heard in a seashell, and becauae the
water did not taste good. A few days
ago one of the Rice brothers le ts bucket
down into
well, and when hepulled
It up he was surprised to find that
there was about half an inch of erode
petroleum floating upon the top of the
water.
The incident has created quite a stir
in the neighborhood, and it is quite
probable that atepa Till be taken in
the near future toward the sinking of a
well for the purpoee of securing oil in
paying quantities.

Oreogn City— Unless there is a good
rain in Clackamas county within the
ensuing few days, fall sown crops will
be largely a failure. In some sections
rain would not be beneficial at this
time, the prolonged drouth having al
ready done its work. Late sown oats
and potatoes, which constitute two of
the principal crops produced in Clacka
mas county, have already suffered ex
tensive damage, while it is estimated
that not more than 50 per cent of a hop
crop can be expected unless there is rain
during the coming week.
Momoe— On the ranch ol James E.
Edwards, a pioneer residing near here,
stands a mammoth Royal Anne cheiry
tree, which has been for many years
am object oi wonder to visitors and to
strangers passing along the road near
which it stands.
The tree is 9 feet 3 inches in circum
ference at the butt.' Four feet above
the ground it divides into three
branches, one of which is four feet in
circumference, another 4 feet 6 inches,
another 6 feet 4 inches.
The branch
measuring 6 feet 4 inches divides into
two branches, one being 4 feet 4 inches
in circumference, another 3 feet, the
smallest branch mentioned being as
large as an ordinary tree at the butt.
The tree is 50 feet high and its wid
est branches cover a space 46 feet in di
ameter. It is 60 years old, and for
several years has yielded a fruitage of
200 gallons per annum.
Soon to Be County S eat.
La Grande— At the regular session of
the Union county court, held last
week, it was decided to remove the
county seat from Union to La Grande
