Hint three of the claims located me
deeded land, hind deeded by the
Mate several ycurn ago. Since there
is no authority for k'"K ujxn deed
ed land lo locate mining claims
those will be abandoned. Those
who held them, however, willstiud
with the others and Ixrar their pro
imrtiou of the prospecting expense
and take their share of the results.
A nutnlwr of outsiders will- partici

outlKk-isio promising that, the

get in it, not from those who would
rather stay out.
The commltte Imsscnt for blasting
powder and will go out Sunday and
set men to work opening up the
ledge. Work would have lecn un
der way sooner but for the fact that
it wai impossible to get blunting
material. Chief Engineer Kcllcy, of
the Deschutes company, will prob
ably go out with the committee and
make some suggestions as to the
prospecting. Some experienced
miner will also le employed 011 the
work.
L. K. Alliugham, who wai out
from Princvillc Tuesday, said that
halfn d07.cn years ago gold was
discovered on Clitic buttcs. Assay
crti then rcjxmcd that tlicHjcciiucii5
submitted showed 3 to $jH of gold
to the ton. Hut nothing was then,
done on the lode for the reason that
nobody felt disused to put up the
necessary money for opening up
the ledge and there were not then
several willing to net together as
now
M. C. Awbrcy found gold there
30 years ago, lie .says he always
had faith that profitable mines
would sonic day le opened ut the
buttcs and he believes the present
movement will lc successful, be
cause it is carclully managed and
is strong enough to get results.
Cheap power for mining operations
can be supplied from Clitic falls, a
mile rtnd a half from the button.
If the mines pan out a new town is
likely jo be built in that vicinity.

Another week will probably see
14,4 miles of the Pilot Huttc canal
completed. Of this .stretch there
remains about of a mile to be ex
cavated with scrapers and perhaps
2. Smiles of roud mTichjuc work.

stated that water would' be flowing
in the cnnal next week. Hut it is
more than probable that some blast-,
iug will remain to Iw done behind
the road machine and it cannot be
known in ndvance just how long
that will take.
A large jmrt of the force has
been employed this week in clean
ing out the canal and xit'i'ig the
banks the finishing touches, pre
juratory to the introduction of
water.
The break that occurred last
week in the canal near the foot of
the flume has been fully rehired.
It was found advisable to flume
across the broken section a distance
of 215 feet. The descent is quite
steep so a box 2x8 feet carries all
the water. Water was turned
through this section of flume to the
wasteway yesterday.
The Deschutes company still wants
teams and men. The mattcrof getting
supplies is also quite u problem. The
company has something like 100
tons of hay at the l'orest ranch on
Crooked rivcr.bnt the high water in
that stream makes it impossible to
get the huy now,
Telegraph poles arc set and wagon
roads constructed along the bank of
the canal for a distance of 4 miles
from the flume, mid oles arc dis
tributed along the canal for about
4j miles farther.

A good deal of change is taking
plaie in the country under the Col

pany's ditch. At the old Dclaucy
place the company has an experi
ment farm under way, nljtit 60
acres now being ready for tilling.
Chauucy P. Heckcr also has a large
tract cleared and fenced and has '
net a lot of fruit trees and planted j
crops that will test the capacity of j
the laud to produce. The Mutigs, 1

clearing laud and putting up build- j
bigs, quite chaujeiug the face of the

construction of an eight-room house
at its experiment farm, which will
lie used as headquarters for the '
compnny and will also supply uc-i
commodations for transients that

already running in the canal,

Among the purchasers of Colum
bia Southern irrigated lands in the
past week arc George L. Simmons,
of Lu Grande, who took 160 acres,
Frank Simmons, who bought 80
acres, and A. II. Hoover, an O. R.
&N. engineer, who has 40 acres, all
in section 1, 17-11, about a mile be
yond the ranch of Mrs. Riley.
George L. Simmons has arranged
with Messrs. Huhler and D0.111 to
have 40 acres cleared up at once
and he will move his family out
and establish his home there in a
few weeks.
The cntlmsiam of the Portland
men who were up here and took
laud last week grew upon them as
they returned home nud they, im
mediately went to the Portland
agent of the company and selected
additional land. They arc con
vinced that this is the coming
country.
