To Defend Bonanza Gold.
Judging Ironi the arsenal that has just
hern received hy the llnnnii.i mine peo
ple, they no douht contemplate a heavy
output 11I gold, and intend to he prepared
to protect it during transportation Ironi
the mine to the h.mlr. In connection
with the usual short shotgun, ( l:rp
lirothrrs (.line, ihey have seiinrd an en
tirely new and novel weapon, It helng
nothing more nor less than a rapid fire
gun, huilt alter the design of the marine
rapid-lire gun. It Is not much larger than
and ordinary sized revolver, hut slightly
dllferent In shape, helng more sipiare, the
handle being perpendicular to the harrel,
The weapon Is perfectly h.itmles when
not placed in readiness for action, which
is simply done by the same process as
that of a magazine shot gun, by a sliding
motion along the bated. When this Is
done It Immediately assumes the place of
one of the most dangerous weapons
known to man. It works 'automatically;
after each discharge, the recoil causes the
gun to eject the empty shell and at the
same Instant another cartridge Is In
Its place, keeping up a fusillade so rapid
and disconcerting that It will bring terror
to the most doughty road aegnt that ever
told man to stand and deliver Herald.
Gigantic Scheme of Development.
1 he Scandia Mining & Milling Com
pany, of Granite, Oregon, Is starting In
on a gigantic sclieint of development.
The company Is composed of Spokane
men, and they are now preparing to ex
plore all the undergound ledges of Quebec
hill. At a meeting of the shareholders re
cently held In Spokane, it was decided to
put in power drills and run development
work on a lorge scale. The company is
now a consolidation of the Scandia Mining
company and the Aldrln Tunnel company.
The Aldrln Tunnel company, prior to the
location of the tunnel rlf.ht, had opened
up three strong veins of gold bearing ore,
one on the Missouri Girl, one on the Peer
less and one on the Rainbow. The as
says on the Peerless go from f 2 to $ 3,000
to the ton. The bore of the big tunnel Is
seven fret in the clear between (lie tim
bers arid is being made tor a double track.
One blind vein has been intersected by
lite tunnel. The known veins will be cut
as follews: Rainbow at 610 feet; the
Missouri Girl at 770 feet; Peerless at 800
teet. riie last known vein will be about
2400 feet from the face of the tunnel.

Final Payment on the Iron Dyke.
Yesterday T. B. A. Price, receiver of
the North West Railway and Northwest
Mining company, owners of the Iron
Dyke, Sampson and Copper King mines
on Snake river, near Ballard's Landing,
through John I.. Rand, his attonery, at
the l-'lrst National Bank, Baker City,
made the final payment of 94000 on the
Sampson and Copper King mines, to
Wm. Hunsaker. This gives complete
title to the company of all its rich mining
properties, which, It Is understood, stand
them in about 1 $0,000. It Is relieved,
by those In a position to know, that the
receiver for the company will push devel
opment of the properties In the near fu
tureDemocrat. Modern Machinery for the Prairie Digging.
Helmer & Hlnes, owners of the Prairie
Diggings mine, five miles east of Canyon
City, will shortly Install a new 6-foot
Johnson concentrator at their 5-stamp
mill, and will probably add a roasting
furnace. Exhaustive tests of Prarle Dig
gings ore have determined Its suscepti
bility to the well-known and widely em
ployed process of roasting, crushing and
concentrating, by which means it is esti
mated fully 92 per cent of the total values
are saved. Concentration is effected at
the rate of 20 tons into one, and the pro
duct is worth variously from 9200 to
2,ooo per ton. The ore mills tS to f to
a ton in free gold. Grant County News.
