"BIG BOYS" COMING IN.
District Filling up With Large
mining Operators.
The "big Imivs" ;ire beginning tn ar
rive in Similiter, ;i(ter ;i prolonged ab
sence. Wh.it has kept them away mi
long is an unexplained mvstery. 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.
FJmer Cleaver, Ar. Morey, and sons,
and Fnglneer Sullivan e.xpect to be in the
1 mountains thirty days, while l.on Cleaver
will return to Baker City and attend to
the business affairs that end of the
Hue, and Clifton Cleaver will return to
Pendleton tn look after the Cleaver

prcts to remain several weeks in the At the Oregon Wonder is the finest and
district. I his Is not his first trip here, ' most convenient camp in the mountains,
though lie has not been in thr camp for ' Kverythlng that the maiket affords Is
several months. Ills particular mission
at this time is not given for publication,
but he Is not here for his health. Oliver
nor Mackintosh and a parly of linglKh
capitalists are expected here soon, and it
is not unlikely that transactions of greatrr
magnitude than this section has ever
known will thru be consummated.
Arthur Hill, of Saginaw, Michigan,'
principal owner of the Ibr.x mine, arrived
line Sundav morning and wrnt out to
the property at nine, Mr. Clrtpnian

a metropolitan hotel, and thr Ferree
brothers know how to treat a visitor,
which the Miner man will swear to after
being the guest of these two gentlemen
one night last week.
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. I
Colonel W. M. Rldpath, the Spokane l
capitalist, Came up S.iluiday on his way ,
