the best developed tiiiuein the district. It
h.is both a true lissurr vein and a contact.

Coal and Oil In John Day Valley. I
E. I:. Cleaver tells thr Democrat that
Cayon City people have organized a
company to mine coal on a ranch about a
mile from John Day City, w here a four
foot vein of good bltumiuious coal has
been found, and alongside of the coal vein
Is 16 Inches of pipe clay, which will also
find a market. It Is the Intention of thr
compaii) to sink on the vein and drift
sufficiently to determlur whether the coal
Is there In enough quantities to pay or not.
The formation of the land is sandstone
and shale. All the mines In that district
made wonderful development during the
winter more work was done than ever
before in the history of that section all
told. The principal wc rl-c was done In the
vicinity of Prairie City. California peo-
I pie are there prospecting for oil, of which
I there are good Indications. The George
Washington mine, owned bv Ward Bro
thers Sexton, has developed vrry pecu
liarly, and upset the theories of all miners.
It has a north and south ledge of free
gold, very rich, which Is crosscut beneath 1
by an east and west ledge of riili basej
ore. I
Mining Interests at North Powder.
I he country In the vicinity of the little
city of Nortlt Powder, Union county,
smith of this city, is being developed Into
a mining section that gives promise of be
ing one of the richest camps in eastern
Oregon, In all directions from the town
mineral has been discovered on the sur
face and where development work has
been done, in many instances ledges have
been discovered composed of quartz with
deposits of gold, silver and copper. Tile
Buckeye group Is probably the best de
veloped mine In that camp. A shaft 12$
fret deep has been sunk and much drift
ing done and the result Is very satisfac
tory. A large ledge of ore has been open
ed and It is only a question of a short time
when reduction works will be erected
there, litis week a rich strike was re
ported in what Is known as the Texas,
Iowa & Oregon mines, owned by It. P.
Cnlley and G L. Howland, a 74 foot
ledge of rich ore being uncovered. Other
ledges are being workrd and it is predicted
that tile greatest activity will prevail In
the vicinity of the city of North Powder
this year. Union Republican.
