About to Bcfta Dtrcktpncat Oa the Im perial, la Quarts Gulch. R. D. Chumley, the well known min ing man, Is In from the Greenhorn moun tains, where he has passed the winter exploiting the properties In which he, to gether with many Baker City men, are in terested. Mr. Chumley's properties are situated adjacent to the Don Juan, the June Bug, Banzette, Golden Eagle and many other important and well known mines. Mr. Chumley says that there Is still great depths of snow there, so as to preclude prospecting in any except partially devel oped properties. He says that the people from The Dalies are doing the best work of any In that locality. They seem to be mining in a systematic and thorough manner, and they have reasons to be en couraged from the way the Golden Eagle is looking at present. That mine, it Is said, is showing stopes of ore which guar antee continual running of the mill for the next twelve months. The many members of the company, including Judge Fish, Jesse Hostetter and Mr. Supret, have been examining the property, staying at the mine for over a week, and they are highly pleased with what they have seen. The mill now on the ground is not sufficiently large to answer the purposes, but they will con tinue to use it until the mine is more thoroughly developed, because with this mill they can pay all their expenses and be fully prepared for future work on a more extensive scale. The company at present has a large force of men at work on the property; and further than this, they are about to com mence development on an extensive scale on Dick Kelly's famous property, the Imperial In Quartz gulch. The company has acquired a controllng Interest In this large ledge and Is going to commence work at once and put It on its feet. Baker City Republican.
