Rare Foullt From ohn Day.
A press dispatih from San 1'rancisio,
d ited August 4, sa s: I he paleoutnglcal
expedition of lite Unlvrrsllyol Calilornla,
whiili his just returned from the John
Day fossil tirlds in eastern OreRon, re
ports the dNiovery of a number of speil
mens of a number of extinct animals, 1
"We found fossil rem tins of a tapir,'"
said Professor Joseph C. Merrlam, head '
nfthe expldition, "an animal whosr pres
ence In the OreRon basin in ancient times
was never before suspeited. Among our
tinds were bones of the rhinoceros, pec
carry, extinct species or the horse, and
extinct cat and many other mammals,
1 modern relatives of which are today found
only in tropical countries. We found also
I fossil remains of the in istudon,hut these
date from a time far less ancient than most
of ourspeclmens." 1 he material gathered
I will be placed in tlie University of Call

Rich Phcer on Meadow Creek.

Dalles, who, with his partner, has been

1 John Day river, about seven miles from I
Law ton, the past two mouths, has inadei
I whit promises to be a bonanza strike in I
I placer, or what is known as south
Meadow creek, about live miles north-1
west from the old Monroe diRRhiRs, on,
the north tork. The Rold Is very nurse,
and looks as thoiiRh it was "lo,al Rold,"
as it is evident tint it has not traveled '
any distaiue. A 1 tit extruding about 12
feet in length bv 12 to 1$ inches in width, '
vielded between 55 and 5o. Old miners
siytlntitis the richest ground and thr '
cmrsest gold that his bren found fori
itiativ years in eastern Oregon. So much '
his been said about AI.isU.i placer told
and its great extent, tint it srrms like a
fairy tale wheii told that in eastern Ore
Ron, barring our nr two claim in the'
Klondike, tiie gold is as coarse and, as
I ir as prospected, as plenty as in that
niiich-t.ilked-of country. Mr. Clanton Is
now at I he I) illes, and arrangements '
will be made to put the ground in read)-,
ness for an eirlv start in the spring, and
It Is believed tint this section of country
will become .is famous as the Klondike
for rkh pi icers. Special to the Orego-11I.111.

Pelton Water Motor
Is so superior to alLothers as regards strenth, durability and economy of
water, in fact all that constitutes a HIGH CLASS WATER MOTOR,
as to admit of 110 comparison, adapted to every variety of service and
made of sizes varying from the fraction of 1 up to 100 M. P. Recent
scientific tests made at the Michigan University in connection with sev
eral other motors claimed to be the best on the market showed 45 per
cent higher elhciency in favor of favor of the PELTON, while the rela
tive cost per M. P. to buy was only one-third to one-half that of others.
Water companies desiring to make the best of their water supply should
discriminate in favor of the PELTON. Deliveries made from New York
or San Prancisco, as may afford the best freight rates. Circulars free.
One of these motors can be seen any time operating Tut- MlNblt presses.
