Wednesday, October 17, 1900 IO THE SUMMER MINER. MILL FOR RICHMOND. Buys Ten Stamps From the Ohio, Never Operated. B. C. I.eC.lalr.of the Ulthmond Min ing company, some weeks since bought tiie ten-stamp mill from the Ohio com i;iny, find yesterday the last three wagon loads of the machinery passed through town on Us way to the new site. This mill is complete, including a Urge water wheel. Some mouths sduce the Richmond people bought the mill on the Dim Juan, in Calilomia gulch, hut one of the own ers objected to the sale and the property is now In litigation. The Richmond is on the same ledge and adjoining the Kouaua mine. It has been e.Menslvelv developed, has large quantities ot good me blocked out and will undoubtedly soon be added to the list of producers. The Ohio Mining company, fiuni which Ihe mill was uunha-ed, lias a rather un usual history, or rattier, the mill Itsell has. It was bought, shipped In and in stalled four years ago, The intention was to run it by water power Alter It was ready to stait, the management gleaned the Information that the water right was owned by other parties, and so never a stamp was dropped. Just why steam power w.is not substituted, deponent sayelh not. The Ohio is verv near the Columbia, and this mill was up the gulch only an eighth ol a inlle.-mnv. It is not on the ledge wltli the Columbia, however, knovMi as the I:. - I:., but on one higher up the mountains, on which it is said no good mine lias ever Vet been opened. Price of Silver Steadily Riling. Sll vet Is gaining sin h headway in the lii.ilkrtslh.it Hull' be loiiud impossible to depress It or tesjsi its stieiigtli. Ihe l-.ienl demand comes Hum India where the treasury has been depleted ol the one metal necessary to give a sulliciciicy ot the coin which tluul.iles mote than any other, the rupee. I lie l:ngllh govern ment made n mistake when the gold standard was adopted hi Indii, for which she is nowpaiug by puuhaslng Ameri can sliver In the open market at an ad vanced pike. China Is dtawiug lieavllv tin the sliver maiket also, and must con tinue to do so lot in. my yeats. So that it is little wonder that silver has teaclied Ojji cents an ouiue, hlghei than It has been lor e.ut.. It will i.iutlnue to main Mlu Its strength. Mining and Hnghierr lug Rivlew. I'rogrcu at the Grily. I he liiily tunnel has krosed a point vertical with the shut on a slvluol ledge. The rock formation Is dipping Into the hill, but at a steep angle, so thai unless it 1 lunge In formation ouiiis, oulv a ery short distance will hate to be traversed to leach the ledge, bevci.il slilugers, evi dently offshoots of the main ledge, have been encountered In the tunnel dining the past week. I he opeiallon ol this mine is bring watched with musideiahle Interest locally and among outside mining men, who know the property to possess re markably high sutl.ue showings and loiilidently e.peit the Citlly to become one of Ihe best paving mines in Oregon. 4 -Jiirt L'ke Finding Money." Mrs. John V.tss and lamily, accompanied byJMiss Cr.t11d.1ll, Alts. Vas' sister, took their departure foi California last e euiitg, where they will likely take up their fu ture residence. Mis. Vass' health has been poor for some time and the change of cllpi.ite it Is thought will be a benefit to Iter. She received her insurance monev ruin the- fraternal orders amounting to about $7000 some time ago. In the mat ter of insurance, she was better provided for than she knew at the time of her hus band's death, if an interesting story told a Democrat reporter since her departure, Is true. It is said that some years ago, be fore he came to Oregon, Mr. Vass had taken out an insurance policy for $10,000 in a reliable company. He paid the pre miums for a lime and then reverses came and lie felt obliged to drop it unless he could secure assistance. He mentioned the fact to a well-to-do friend in the east who advanced the money to the insurance company, direct, and kept up the pay ments. Since Mr. Vass' death, so the story goes, Mrs. Vass was notified that her money was ready for her, plus the amount paid out for premiums, which left 1 her a snug little sum aside from her other 1 insurance money, amounting, it is said, to between $7000 and J8000.
