GOING BELOW WEBFOOT BEDROCK
Humbolt Company Sinking; 75 Feet in the
Bed of Canyon Creak.
A News representative visited the
scene of operations of the Humbolt Mining
company this week and saw considerable
activity.
The company has a crew of men at
work sinking a 75-foot shaft In the bed
of Canyon creek, about a half a mile be
low town, In order to get below the strata
of hardpan and determine whether a rich
strata of gravel exists beneath. The
shaft has already been sunk to a depth of
nearly 40 feet.
If the expert's results are obtained, It Is
the intention of the company to Install a
big. dredger of sufficient capacity to re
move the hardpan strata and work the
underlying gravels.
The Humbolt placers have been worked
by the drifting process since 1862, with
big annual cleanups. The nature of the
property is that of an old river channel
running with gold,
A ditch has been built on It eight and a
half miles long, with a capacity of 1000
Inches of water. The present owners,
who are all men of long experience, have
put In two giants and 2600 feet of hy
draulic pipe, also self-opening reservoirs.
Adjacent to this property there lies over
two miles of rich creek bottom, the larger
portion of which belongs to this company.

Another Suit Again the Smelter Trutt.
An Associated press dispatch from
Wilmington, Deleware, dated April 2s,
says: Judge Gray, of the United States
Circuit court, In this city, filed an order
In Trenton today for the American Smelt
ing and Refining company and M. Gug
genheim's Sons to show cause May 13, at
Trenton, why they should not be perma
nently enjoined from making use of the re
cently Issued 145,200,000 Increase in the
capital stock of the Smelting and Refinnlg
company. A temporary order has been
granted restraining the sale or use of this
stock pending a final hearing. The suit
was instituted by Irving E. Leugle, of
Reading, Pa., an owner of 550,000 worth
of the stock of the company. The suit Is
a repetition of the one Instituted in the
New Jersey state courts by W. M. Don
aid and others, which resulted in a de
cision prohibiting the issuing of the stock
and carrying out of a deal for the absorp
tho of the Guggenheim plant by the
Smelting company. The effect of this de
cision was afterwards nullified by the ef
fecting of a settlement with Donald.
Lengle, in his bill of complaint, goes over
the same ground covered by the bill filed
by Donald In the New Jersey courts, and
charges that the deal Involved the Issuing
of 945,200,000 worth of stock of the Am
erican Smelting & Refining company to
the Guggenhelms, and this was 923,000,
000 In access of the value of their plant
and the money they were to receive In
payment.
Good Ore fouad to the Strode Group.
Mr. F. M Stanley, of La Grande, one
of th owners of the P. G. Strock group of
mining claims, on Salmon creek, eight
miles west of this city, came In from the
mine yesterday and reported that they
had struck what is undoubtedly a rich ore
body. Describing the find, Mr. Stanley
said: "We have been prospecting our
bunch of claims for some time, and the
other day opened ten feet down from the
surface what appears to be a well defined
ledge of ore from 20 to 30 feet wide.
From assays made the rock runs high in
copper and carries gold and silver. As
says went from 920 to loo per ton and Mr.
Strock says he believes It will develop
into a great mine." I think so much of it
that today I traded 62 lots and a house In
La Grande for another claim and a half
in the group. We intend to develop the
property sufficiently to bond it at a good
price. Democrat.
