Most of thrse large operators ate familiar with the district and thr conditions prevailing here. Their presence at this time indi cates hut one thing that alter two or threr months of comparative inactivity, so lar as trades and transfers and talk are concerned, mine owners being busy with development worl, the inevitable Joe Reese. Mr. Layere is a mining man of Baker City, and has figured In some of the big deals of that district. He is here on a general tour of Inspection ot the mines In the Quartburg and Strawberry range districts and will probably tie up something good before leaving. . J. D. ('Joss, nf the Hank of Sampler, has been in the field for a week ascertain ing u hat business a bank could do in ! this section, and went away highly elated and himself or brother twptct to return soon.

Ills particular mission at this time is not given for publication, but he Is not here for his health.

In railroad circles nothing of Interest Is bring made public, but It is rumored that all thr different companies that intend en tering tills district have turn in disguise out establishing grades, etc., and it is stated on good authority that within the last month no less than six ot these par- conveyance in icadlitess when the train ' ties have slipped through this part of arrivrd. Mr. Hill has just returned from a live months trip in hurope and is on his way to San Francisco. His visit here at this time has in It no special significance, and probably would not have been made ! had lie not been obliged to go to the 1 oast at least, that is about the way he wants it put In these columns.
