Gilliam County People Getting
Rostlesa. About to Take Bull
by Horns and Build Road
Themselves.
After yoart of waiting for foreign capi
tal to come In and solve the problem of
mil communication botween the big
w heat ileitis of Central and Southern
milium county and the Columbia river,
Uilliain county people are beginning to
get weiiry and are about to take the bull
by the horn and solve tliit most im
portant question In their own way and
by their own efforts. For ycart they
huve been watching and wailing for a
branch of the O. U. & N., for a spur of
the Columbia Southern, fore line built
by the Portage people and for sundry
and divers other "proposed" railroad
projects, all of which have promptly
and In turn "faliud p connect" and alto
to relievo the tension undur which the
(armor struggles In trying to market a
big wheat crop before another harvest
catchet him.
The old fable of the quails and the
farmer will bo found aprgpot in title
connection. The quail family lived in
the farmer's wheat field and the wheat
was ripe, The young quails heard the
farmer and hit -ton plan to have their
relatives, their nelghlxirtor their friends
(oiiio and cut the grain, and the young
stvrt were frightened and wanted to
move. The wise old mother quail quiet
ed their fears,-however, and said there
was no hurry about going. But one
morning, when the farmer was heard
saying to hit ton, "Those follows are
not going to harvest our wheat for us,
to we must do It ourselves, and at once,"
the old bird laid to the little ones, "Now,
children, we had better hustle. These
fellows menu business." So with Gil-
liam.county railroad projects. As long
At the people depend on outside capital
there It no need in anyone being tcared
about having to move bit house off the
right-of-way, but when a big community
of wealth producer get (0 tired hanling
-10 cent wheat from 40 to CO -mile thro'
mud and rain and cold that they begin
to believe they can build A railroad of
their own to connect their wheat fields
with the market of the world, it begin
to look at though something it going to
be done. For tho last few day there
hat been considerable agitation of this
plan of the people building their own
railroad and many of our most conserve
tiveand responsible ciluaus have ex
pressed theinselve at believing the
project to be a perfectly practicable and
rational one. It It believed that tulll-
clent itock can readily be told in this
county to complete 10 or 20 mile of the
road, and, that much accomplished, it
would bo en easy matter to float bonds
and complete tho line. So far a tbe
Oioui ran learn, every man who has
been approached favors tho proposition,
and it seems that all that I now needed
to cause the project to assume a tangible
form it for our people to agitate it talk
it up. K very body can do something to
help such a project Along. If you can
not buy 1000 worth of itock, you can
say the project it a good one, and that
we can't afford to be without the road ;
or to quote the "nub" of one ofl.incolu's
stories: "If you can't skin you can hold
leg," Let everybody pull together on
this project and the first thing we know
we will have A railroad company incor
porated that will inoaii business, with a
bigl).

A Big Mine.
L. M. Hughe and L. J. Johnson, of
North port, Wash., president and vice-
president, respectively, of the Rossland
Consolidated Mining Co., are here this
eck in the interest of their company.
Mr. Johnson is an old maiden! of Ore
gon, naving been lor a nuinoer ol years
ngsged in the newspaper business at
Tillamook, To a GwriK reporter the
ther day Mr. Johnson stated that the
property of his company consist of
seven claims containing in ail 140 acres.
Upon ertch claim there it a well defined
lo of mineral, the seven lodes tggre-
ating about ICOO feet of ore. Tbe loca-
on of the claims, Mr. Johnson says, is
peculiarly adapted to successful mining
operations nt a minimum cost, as the
odes are ail being developed by tunnels
li it-li are located at the bottom of a
uep gorge or canyon which cuts through
the mountains of that region, and which
is 3000 feet deep. This gives the owners
an immense amount of ore above the
tunnel level which can bo extracted at
trilling cost, a compared witli hoist
ing it through a shaft to the nnper sur
face. A fine stream of water runt
through the canyon which, it is staled,
ill furnish all tbe electrical power that
ill ever be required to one rale the
mines. Hie claims are covered with a
fine growth of timber, which is an im
portant factor in the development and
operation of a great mine, at all the
necessary timbers and lumber ran lie
secured right on the ground At the mere
coat of cutting.
The mines are located abon 3 miles
from North port, one mile from a rail
road line and 4,'j miles from a smelter
now in course of construction. This it
f prime importance, at tho character
of all tbe ore is base and requires smelt
ing to extract the values, and as base
lodes are considered by alt mining men
to be much better propositions tooperate
than free milling ones on account of
their greater permanency and the fact
that they almost invariably increase in
alue with depth, tbe owners of this
property feel confident, Mr. Johnson
tayt, that they have a bonanza. Mr.
Johnson showed at specimens of native
copper ore which, he tayt, assayt J3-J.O0
per ton ; grey copper, carrying gold and
copper which assays flO.00, and silver
