Fifteen tars ago a little proscctiug was ?n there but the results were not cli tiiough to satisfy the miners of Sat day. About six years ago Fosrectors made a brief cxninina- n and scut specimens to assaycrs Portland and San Francisco, but c assiy rctwrts varied so greatly at n development was under Ikcn. Two or three times since (tention has been drawn to the tcality as promising gold, but ere was no move to organize for jrstemutic work. M. C. Awbrcy !d the Kdwardscs, were among the ople who thought well of the Id prospects there. Mr. Awbery lys the rock is exactly like the fh gold quartz on the California He of the Siskiyous and he was jnvinced there was gold in it. Since the gold was discovered it fa been ascertained that there is a fjUity of limestone in the buttcs q is probable that steps will be irfcfy to demonstrate its commcr fl value. The building pceds of ifraud the heavy cost of lime here will warrant efforts to get a supply near homo. It would not take n great capital to put lime ll.M.i. I.. ill. ...!.... If .1... .....1.

The rock is of the Mime chnractcr and nppoarimcu. It is .said that lode Strikes southwe.stward across the country 1 outcropping at Smith rock and also at Clmc buttcs. If so it gives great promise to" the Clinc buttcs discovery. M. C. Awbrey regrets thnt the locality of the new gold discovery is given the name of Cliilc buttcs. He says the laud mark is properly Carintchael butt&s, named after the pioneer settler, Robert Gariniehael. Clinc catne into the country com paratively recently and Mr. Awbfey thinks preference should I' glvfcrf the pioneer when it comes to Martf iug geographical fcaturef (if the country. A meeting of the miners contriiir tec was held Wednesday cvcUhig and imiuires weic set on foot as Ui the IwMt method of ascertaining the' worth of the newly found ledge. A definite plan of ocrattons will be outlined for the general meeting j next Monday evening.

Last Saturday was Laud Agent Cook's busy day down on the Col umbia Southern sogrcgatiou. He disposed of 1300 acres of land to seven men from Portland, Knlamn and Kelso, all of whom will start improvements immediately. The party was composed of J. W. Wharton, treasurer of the Kellogg Transportation Company, Portland; R. II. ltaylcy and S. S. Strain, of Kelso, Wash,, and C. Peterson, John White, Jens Hassulbcrg ami Peter McKinuon, of Kalama, Wash. They drove in from Shauiko by way of Hcislcr's, Trail crossing and Tctherow's bridge. When they left Webfoot it was wet, very wet, but when they reached the Colum bia Southern camp they piled urn brcllas, gum coats ami goloshes in a heap and went forth to enjoy the clear, warm weather and examine the country. It did not take them long to make selections. All these investors will clear and improve their holdings this season uud Messrs Peterson, White and Ilassalberg will settle upon their laud. The others will not occupy their lauds until a little later. All were greatly pleased with the out look here and their representations are likely to bring other land seek ers this way. I H. Dayton, J. C. Ilurstpool and Karl Kastnian have taken 340 acres of the Columbia Southern lauds and O. W. Fickel has the contract for grubbing and clearing them of sagebrush, , George Ur'ostcrhous has just got three acres cleared on his home stead on the west sltfe of the river ami is preparing it for crop.

The ilitch cxnivatiou from the flume down to Wiest's homestead is nearly completed, with the cxccptlonfof the work to be done by the roml iimcliinc. This leaves but a small gapbetween the two sections of completed work. Purchasing Agent Lovell is out at Princvillc with instructions to buy several more teams and outfits for the coni'vany. Another survey crew of 14 men will le put in the field in a few days, away in advance of the canal construction. Its work will be to contour tlic coilfifTf'ib' s to" klirjtv where tn locate laterals and sc vices ditches. The company's stable has been completed and a lane fenced off in which the horses can exercise and reach the river. The blacksmith shop has also been finished ami fit ted out for work and Mr. Circle is as much at home as if he had been there always. The company's stone vault is about half done and work is progressing on the adjoin ing office building. Yesterday noon a peculiar break occurred near, the foot of the flume, where the canal descends over u rim of lava just above the waste way. A little water had been run ning through the flume to test the ditch. At noon everything was safe but at 1 o'clock the bottom had droptcd out of the ditch just !c!ow the lava and there was 110 telling how far down it hod gone, probably many feet. Of course when the bottom dropjicd the banks caved in, leaving a large and ugly chasm which may require 11 short section of flume to repair. The damage is not great.
