He Is one of the original owners of the Eureka and Excelsior mine, In Ba ker county, and flatters himself on being one of the very first to Interest eastern capital in the rich ledges of eastern Ore gon. Twelve years ago his company) took hold of the I:. & E., and instead of , pending money on the development of, the ledge, put up a f 160,000 mill. This, honey-comb. Chief Engineer Anderson, of the Columbia Southern, procured all of these samples of 'ores in the John Day country. Each one Is from surface out croppings. Very few people have an ade quate idea of the mineral' richness of the John Daydistrlct. When Portland erects a smelter, actual tests wHI soon verify Oregon's claim as a state rich In mineral resources and one with a great variety. Oregonian. Bridge Acrou Powder River.

On the two claims on the south end of the ledge, the ledge matte frops nut through out the entire length of the claims.
