KAILROAD SITUATION.
Central Oregon Full of Surveyor! but There
It 110 Building Now.
Railroad activity in Central Oregon he
a case-, with the approach of winter, lis
t.iblislied companies and projected com
panies have their surveyors running lines
In every direction, until the natives arc be
ginning to wonder where it all Is to end.
Hut railroads do not build wherever
they run survey lines. Sometimes 50 lines
are run in order to establish one perma
nent survey for the grade stakes. Ihe
person who starts to figure out towusites
r buy property on the strength of the ap
pear 1 ice of a patty of surveyors in a par
ticular section, might us well chase the
vlll-ci' the-wsp.
Therefore, although central Oregon is
practically coveted with surveyors, it Is 110
sign that railroads ate going to be built In
.ill the places they run lines. However,
there is good ground tor belief that their
Kill be enough railroads built to open up
the country and drain all the Important
trade terrllorv. Ihe Sumpter Valley

Incorporated roads give palpablreldeuce
that the paitltiou of the lulind l:iupi:e is
near at hand,
Construction work on some of these
lines will begin this whiter. Ne.xt spring

Hddlng in I'oithiid for laborers. Owing
lo rallioad building activity in all parts ot
the Northwest, la'jor is very scarce and it
will be a serious question to get enough to
supply the demand. The Idaho, V North
ern is using a large number ol men ex
tending its line. The O. R. ' N. Is do
ing considerable Improvement work that
takes a number of men. So are the other
roads. Ihe Klo Grande will need an
army for its proposed Hue between Salt
Lake and l.ns Augeler.
The Huilliiglon has released a number
of men through the completion of Its Alliance-Denver
Hue, which somewhat re
lieves the strain. Men employed upon
the (ireat Northern's Cascade tunnel will
soon be relieved, as well as a number Who
are putting the finishing touches on the
Northern Pacific's Pullman cut-oft into
Seattle. Hut In case work is started upon
half a doeu other roads, which are incor-
1 porated and surveyed, there will be a ver
itable famine in the labor market. It Is
, possible the O. U. A N. will resume work
upon Its extensions in the Clearwater.
I One of the two lines pioposeddown the

jerally, will make a big dratt upon the

' Labor Troubles Said lo be Brewing.
) About ten days ago the president of the
I Miners' Union at Cornucopia, organized
' a union at Itourne, taking In as members
a maimily ot all the miners employed
throughout the Crniker Creek district.
Shue that time the forces in opposition
hive been quietly at wotk, according to
the statement of a miner who is just down
trom the Cruker Creek district, and the
Columbia mine management saw fit to
discharge members ol (lie union, not in a
body but one by one, for the evident pur
pose, it Is said, to throw off any suspicion
that the management was opposed to tin
ion labor. The places of union men were
at once filled by non-union men and here
comes the rub. The union men indicate
that they propose to have their rights re
spected and while it is not given out what
they intend to do, but It is intimated that
they will attempt to compel the Columbia
management to recognize the union and
employ only Its members. The advent
of the union In the eastern Oregon gold
fields will not unlikely bring about the
same conditions as prevail elsewhere.
Whether there Is need In this section for
such an organization is a matter for argu
ment and both sides of the issue, perhaps,
have evidence to present. It is hoped that
arbitration will be resorted to in the ad
justment of affairs effecting the welfare of
the miner and the mine owners and no
step taken on either side that will precip
itate unnecessary trouble. -Baker Dem
ocrat. Cinnlbar Discovery in Cornucopia District.
J. W. Dooley, an old prospector, was
in town during the past week from the
Cornucopia district and Ije reports great
activity all over th'tt camp, lie says he
has made the discovery ot a large ilnni
bar deposit about eight miles north of
Baker City and lie Is preparing to ship
samples of the ore to the Smithsonian in
stitute at Washington, D. C, to de
termine the commercial value of the new
find. Mr. Dooley also owns a group of
promising copper claims northeast of this
cltv, and if assays whkh he is having
made in Salt Lake, Denver and this city
return satisfactory values, the property
will be developed on an extensive scale.
Ihe veteran prospector lias mined In all
the camps of the West. In speaking of
eastern Oregon, he said: "Any prop
erty to be a successful mine and to be
made a producer must outlay 550,000 or
575,000 in development. This is the his
tory of all great mining camps. You
have the properties here but very tew
mines, h some Instances large sums of
money have been spent in development
work but not enough to make the prop
erties producers. Tills Is a very promis
ing mining camp but capitalists must be
interested here before the eastern Oregon
gold mines will come to the front."
