Samples o f cinnabar from the
Mountain King were brought to the
Bureau this week. This is one of
the oldest mercury mines )h the dis
trict, but has been mined in the
usual gopher fashion.
When the
engineer in charge, Mr. Walter C.
Willard began to try out the prop
erty, he foun dthe vein to run for
a distance o f over eight hundred
feet, and at four hundred feet depth
the ore was much better than at the
surface. It will average more than
forty pounds o f quicksilver to the
ton, and is remarkably free o f all
impurities.
The mine will be put
into production in a business like
way, and will blaze a path for
further development along the same
lines. That we do occasionally get
men like Mr. Willard in here is one
o f the things which encourage the
Bureau in its work.
With the readvent o f Williams of
Ilwaco, there are now eleven M. E.’s
here, either working on some defin
ite thing, like Baily, Esterly and Wil
lard, or looking the ground over, like
Yates and Williams. Nothing may
“ happen,” but something will surely
grow out o f the work they do.

The Gatlee district bids fair to be

There were twelve outsiders in the

Reports continue to trickle in with
regard to the strikes in southern Cal
ifornia. So far they agree that as
a mining boom it is a good advertis
ing proposition. The country is re
ported to be staked solidly for a dis

in every direction. California’s great
mineral field is nearer Oregon than
Los Angeles.

WHAT 1800 FAMILIES KNOW
ABOUT ELECTRIC COOKING
T
H EY will tell you it is a new kind of luxury
— one that doesn’t cost more to enjoy.
O f course you have always appreciated the ad
vantages of c(K»king by electricity. You know that
it means no more fuel to carry; no more ashes to
lug. You know that electricity is the ideal cook
ing heat;econom ical because it is turned on when
you need it — not before; turned off when you’ re
through— not later.
But perhaps you would like to know exactly what
it cost? — in dollars and cents. T h e 1800 satisfied
families w ho now use electric ranges served with
electricity by this com pany would gladly show
you their hills, if they could.
W e have made an average of these hills, so that
we may give you the facts. T h e average cost of
electric lights alone in all homes served by this
company in Oregon is $2.20 a month. T h e aver
age cost of their electric lights and electric cook
ing together is $5.62 a month.
Money Talks
in Every
Language
Also, you have more m on ey If
you let it talk— by go in g to the
place where you ca a save more o f
it on your repair kill.
For the difference, could you buy ordinary fuel
for cooking? Ami if you could, would you want
to? W henever you decide to investigate this ques
tion of electric cooking closely, your nearest deal
er will tell you many interesting things. And he
is prepared to install your new electric range at
once, on convenient terms.
