and unfailing proof of its mineral wealth.
Until very recently the prospector gave I
no attention to any other mineral in this
district except gold. The discovery made i
by Mr. Strock Is another proof that there J
are large copper deposits in this district, j
which in time are likely to develop into i
properties little thought of in the past.
At the adjourned meeting of the clty Mr. Strock has money to develop the new

The city attorney appeared and e.v (
plained why he had not submitted a dralt 1

lor municipal purposes. There arc some
legal technicalities to be overcome, rela
tive to the nssrnieut, which cannot he
adjusted until the assessment now being
made Is completed, and the matter will
probably be deterred. The town is in
need ot a larger leveuue and some ready

Representatives of the Electric Light

Rich Coprr Strike on Salmon Creek,
What Is said to be one ot the most
promising copper luuls yet discovered in
eastern Oregon, was discoveted by J. S.
Shock, an old prospector and mining mac.
The lind was made Sunday on the west
slope of Salmon cteek.near thr Tom Paine (
mine, about nine miles west of Raker
City. The lode Is about 20 feet wide and
cariles copper bearing jo per cent. It is'
in a district that has heretofore been prac
tically overlooked for that valuable miner
al. Should the values stay at par
throughout the limit of the lode, the find
will prove to be of Immense value. Baker '
by fall. John Edgar and Mr. Ret.er's
brothers, George and Will, are the other
owners of the property. (Jem.
There are several projects on foot for
giving Granite and Sumpter better wagon '
road communication. One of these is to
build a wagon road from the Ibex mine,
near the summit of the Blue mountain
range, into Granite, there being a fairly
good wagon road from (lie Ibex east Into
Sumpter already. The Ibex route, it is'
believed, would be a good one the year
round. The other proposition is to im
prove the present wagon road between
Granite and Sumpter. li. J. Godtrey, of ,
the Red Hoy mine, will endeavor to inter
est the people of Sumpter In the import
ance of improving this road and will doubt-,
less succeed. Matetial Improvements in
the road between Granite and the Red
hoy mine have already been made.
