Charles H. Poster, of tile" find of
Poster & Myers of Powell Butte,
was in Dend the first of the week
hnullnjj lumber for a new house on
his ranch. Poster & Myers arc the
owners of a threshing machine that
did most of the threshing iu this
scctiou laHt fall, and Mr. Poster re
ported some very interesting statis
tics to The Bulletin as to the
amount of grain that their machine
had threshed.
In the Powell Buttes neighbor
hood there were threshed 14,781
bushels; iu the Sisters and Laidlaw
sections, ij.ioa bushels: in the
Redmond settlement, 9,463 bushels;
or a total of 38,348 bushels.
The best yield per acre was made
by B. II. Lockycar, whose oats
threshed 67 -bushels to the acre
These oats were especially heavy
and weighed 40 lb. per bushel
measure. The legal weight for a
bushel of oats is 33 lb. Hence, if
you figure this out it shows that
Mr. Lockycar's oats yielded, by
weight, 83 bushels per acre. Mr.
Poster says lie feels positive thot
the average yield of the season's
crop would be close to 50 bushels
per acre. He also says that the
best crops ycre grown on irrigated
land on the desert. The best yield
of all crops from any one ranch
was made by the Cline Falls Power
Co.'s ranch,
A good example of what can be
done by drv farming in the Powell
luittcs section was furnished this
year by D. A. Votes. He got a
yield of 1530 bushels of barley from
45 acres, or nearly 34 bushels per
acre. This crop was on first year
laud and did not have n drop of ir
rigatiou water.
Sctiuebcl to Succeed Bristol.
On Tuesday President Roosevelt
sent iu the name ol Christian
Schucbcl to the scuatc for United
States district attorney for Oregon,
to succeed W. C. Bristol, whose
nomination has been withdrawn.
Senator Bourne favored the appoint
ment of Attorney Schuebel, but the
other members or the Oregon dele
gation had agreed to recommend
Attorney Bingham.

KxCongrcssraan J. N. William
son of Prineville has won in his ap
peal to the United States Supreme
Court. That body holds that the?
judge before whom Villiamson was
tried erred in admitting Certain evi
dence and in his instructions to the
jury. The case was remanded for
retrial. Prancis J. Hency, who
prosecuted Williamson in behalf of
the Government, says that William
sou will be tried agnin.
In the trial of Wiljiamson evi
dence was introduced to show that
he had entered into contracts with
parties Tdr the purchase of their
land after ttiese parties had filed on
the lands and before they bad made
final proof. The government's at
torney claimed that such action was
in violation df the timber and stone
act and the trial judge sustained
them in their contention. The
supreme court says that was an
error and interpret the timber and
stone act to mean that an applicant
must swear, at time of filing on
land, that h has entered into no
contract for sale of same, but that
he is not required to swear to this
provision at time of making final
proof.
The higher court sustained the
Government in every particular ex
cept as to the above, but ruled that
that was error It was shown in
the trials that Williamson had in
duced men to file on land with the
contract existing between them
that the land should be turned
over to Williamson for a stipulated
sum. At time of filing these men
svorc that they had entered into
no such coutract. The Supjcme
Court held that such a contract is
iu violation of the timber aud stone
act.

the lower court va today reversed by

the cusc remanded for retrial. That the
tmllctincnt was correct, that the admis

law and that the ruling of the court
were right lUid proixrr Is affirmed, but
because the trial judge erred in admit
ting certain testimony w 1th regard to,
final proofs anil because he erroneously
instructed the jury with regard to thf
tdmc evidence, the whole case must'
again go to trial or the indictment
must be quashed.
The Supremo Court construe the tim

entry men, at the time of making applica
tion for land, to submit an auUtavlt of
Kood faith, hoiug that tltcy have no
agreement, actual or implied, to sell the
land upon acquiring title, but there is
no requirement that such an Affidavit
shall be made when final proof Is sub
mitted. The indictment of Williamson
tutde specific reference to the adidavit
required by law, and did not mention
the shuillar affidavit which is exacted y
tlte-iand office regulations at the time'of

Gold bearing rock has been found
on Powell Buttes in two separate
veins, and as far as can now be de
tcrmined vvithott an assay, every'
thing indicates that mines of no
mean value will-be developed there.
Tbe tindi was. biade by Riley Brown,
an oW-tlme4 prospector, who was
engaged by Elmer Niswonger and
C. D. Brdwn to visit the buttes and
examine soVue indications of mineral
j which Mr. Niswonger bad noticed
three or foUr years ago. Not know
ing much about mining, be bad
paid bht little attention to it until
the opportunity presented itself to
secure the services of tbe old pros
pector. Brown struck the lead a
week ago last Saturday but Tbe
Bulletin was sworn to secrecy and
could not give out tbe word uatij
permission was given.
Messrs. Niswonger and Brown
made arrangements to stake tbe old
man and sent hint to tbe buttes
accompanied by George Hobbs,
who was to show bim ever the
ground. Hobbs first took the pros
pcc6r te a vein whicb hen and his
brother. fccc n&d noticed a few years
ago. It was at once, pronounced
gold bearing and the old man said
it was a second Oregon King, his
on having discovered that mine.
The vein is of porphyry and while
no colors are visible to the naked
eye and very few under the micro
scope, the old prospector say t is
practically sure tcubc rich in gold.
The vein is on the southwest end
of Powell Buttes and is plainly vis
ible from the top to tbe bottom of
thebulte. Hobbs and others at once
got location blanks and staked out
claims. An assay of this rock has
been made, but the, locaters are not
saying just how much value the
assay indicates.
After Brown had satisfied these
people he quietly began work oq
the float whicb Niswonget had
noticed, saying nothing ,to anyone;
He found this float about two miles
south and a half mile east of the
station and about four miles from
the first find. As soon ns he locat
ed the float he dug down 2 feet
and located the real vein. This . is
of granite formation, very hard and
unbroken, and is about seven feet
wide at this point. Two of three
blasts have been shot off and some
of the rock sent away for an assay,
rehtrus from which have not yet
Veen received. However, the old
man believes it is one of the most
valuable finds of the whole country.
I He took a piece of the rck about a
cuoic lucu iu sue uuu a-uuroi 11 iv
powder, getting a spoonful of pow
dered rock. In that there were six
colors visible lo the uaked eye.
That promises very rich ore and is
apparently much more valuable
than the first find. The old pros
pector has visited the mines at
Wiudy Hollow in the Lakcview
country, and says the Powell Buttes
rock Is far superior to that at Windy
Hollow. The vein runs from thb
northwest to the southeast.
