THE Grizzly group consists of the "Colorado" and the "Colorado Extension" quartz mineral claims, situated
in the Sumpter District of Baker county, Oregon, six miles northwest of the town of Sumpter, forming part
of tne rich mineral zone wherein are located producing mines of fabulous wealth, such as the "North Pole,"
"Columbia," "Golconda," "Bonanza" etc., etc. Development work on the Grizzly group has disclosed a gold bear
ing ledge of remarkably high value, a force of men are now at work and there is every reason to expect the prop
erty will become one of the greatest mines in Oregon.
Road Our Proposition Carefully

in twelve monthly payments, the funds realized being used tor opening up the property and making a producing

THE REPUBLIC MILL.
U to
New Method By Which (he Ore
Be Treated.
Following is the new inrllioJ by which
the ore of the Republic mine will be
treated: The ore will be teken from
the mine to the sampler, where it will be
reduced to about onefourih of an inch in
size. It will then be sent to the mlain
mill by mi elevator. It will there pass
through .1 series of rolls to reduce It to
about 30 mesh. All that passes through
the screen of that mesh goes to the raw
ore bin and the residue is carried to barrel
tollers, where it Is reduced with iron balls
to the requisite sire, and this too, Is con
veyed to the bin for raw ore. Prom the
eceivliiK bin It Is fed by automatic
freUers, to a traveling carrier and passes
over a tlame of such heat as to thorough. y
roast the ore. These travelers are about
too feet long and travel very slowly, giv
ing the fire time to act upon the ores. On
Its return to the starting point It Is dump
rd Into a bin and from there elevated to
a large bin on the tloor above, Into which
.ill finished Die passes.
The ore is now conveyed to the vats,
where chemical treatment begins. After
lemaluiug in the vates ror a specified time
the liquor Is drained otf and elevated Into
titlirr t.mls, where it is treated to a bath
with line dust. This is acted on by the
lyanide liquid similar toils action upon
zinc shavings. At the proper time this
liquid is diawn oil and returned to the
mixing tanks, where it is renewed by the
addition of mote chemicals and is again
teaJy tor use. The residue in the tank,
which Is but a black mass of powder, Is
taken to the smelting room, melted and
11111 Into bars, ready for shipment.
Spokesman-Review.
Allen Bro. Win Don Juan Suit.
Allen Bros, against locators of the Don
Juan mine brought an injunction against
Le Claire and others In restrain them
from moving the mill of the Don Jaun
mine. Judge Robert Eakin, ot the Cir
cuit Court has rendered a decision in fa
vor of Allen Bros. The mill was being
torn down and moved to the Winchester
mine, joining the Bonanza.
Gold Production.
The phenomenal commercial record of
the year ending June 30, as shown in the
annual report of the chief of the treasury
bureau of statistics just issued, has been
accompanied by an equally striking record
with regard to gold production, says an
exchange. The gold mined In the United
States during the year ending December
ji, 1809, exceeds that of any year in our
history, and for the first time surpasses
the record established in 185), when the
mines ot California made their highest
record of 65,000,000. The gold produc
tion of the United States was In 1809, ac
cording to the estimate of the director of
the mint, $7$, $00,000, while no prior year
had shown so high a total as that of 185),
65,000,000, though the total for 1898 was
64,461,000. The very rapid increase,
both in the United States and elsewhere,
during the past few years brings the gold
product of the half century now ending to
the enormous total of 6,665,6)1,000, or
more than twice as much as during the
350 years preceding that period. The
gold production of the world from 1492 to
1850 amounted to 3,129,780,000, while
that of the period 1851-1899 was 6,665,
6)t,ooo. The rapid increase in produc
tion In tills country and the large excess
of exports over Imports have been ac
companied by a corresponding Increase in
money in circulation in the United States,
which, on July t, 1900, stood at 26.50
per capita as compared with 25.38 in
July, 1809, and 24.74 the year preceding,
and in 1896 at 21.15.

IMPORTANT GOLD STRIKE.
Ledge Averages $14 on the Surface in the
BataleyElkhorn District.
What is believed to be one of the best
gold strikes ever made in the Baisley
Elkhorn district, which lies about 16 miles
to the northwest of Baker City, was dis
covered a day or two ago by Jeff Boyle
and his chum, Howard.
The strike was reported here yesterday
by Mr. Boyle. It was made on the head
of Salmon creek, between the Baisley
Elkhorn and Pocahontas Belle mines.
For many years prospectors have been
looking for the mother lode in the hills
which has supplied the rich placer grounds
of Salmon creek, and while many have
claimed to have found it, it is be
lieved that Boyle Is the lucky man.
He has found not a mere stringer of rich
ore, but a strong and well-defined ledge
which goes 14 to the ton on the surface
and below runs into sulphides, Indicating
a probability af a permanent and continu
ous vein of ore.
Mr. Boyle Is a conservative man and
would not talk much about his fiind, but
told a personal friend that they proposed
to continue development work and would
soon ascertain the extent of their riches.
Letson Balliet, a California mining man,
has bonded the Gold Ridge mine on lower
Burnt for 6o,oco and has commenced de
velopment work on a large scale. A
number of other large deals are booked
for this fall, but the particulars cannot yet
be given to the public. Those in touch
with the situation predict the liveliest
business ever known in this camp during
the coming fall and winter. Democrat.
