THE SUMPTER MINER
4
I
MILL FOR THE OROFINO
Spokane Owners will also In
stall Deep Sinking Plant.
Chester Glass anti J. W. Witherop,
who recently bought the Orofino, In the
Alamo district, near Sumpter, Oregon,
are arranging to mill a large quantity of
ore. They plan the Immediate installa
tion of a large machinery plant for deep
development. They are also considering
the erection of a twenty stamp mill.
The recent development upon the Oro
fino has created a great deal of local in
terest. For the last two months the owners
have had a force of eleven men develop
ing It. Two veins of free milling gold
ore have been worked and a depth of two
hundred feet from the apex 'has been at
tained upon the western vein.
The work there shows a clearly defined
ledge with ten feet of high grade free mill
ing gold ore.
Upon the eastern vein, at a depth of
IJ5 feet from the apex, twelve and one
half feet of high grade free milling gold
ore is In sight.
A mill test of eight tons of ore, treated
at the Red Roy mill, under the superin
tendence of Mr. Tabor, one of the owners
of the Red Roy, gave J8o per ton In free
gold alone.
About 800 feet of work In tunnels,
raises and stopes has been done. All of
the work is in ore, for the former owners
only worked upon ore and made no at
tempt at deep development.
The Orofino has the reputation of being
one of carrying some of the richest gold ore
in the Alamo district. Specimens from it
are In great demand.
A peculiarity of the big mines of east
ern Oregon, such as the Red Roy and the
Bonanza, Is that they have all increased
In richness and quantity of free gold with
depth. Roth of them at a depth of over
500 feet are of much higher grade than
they were near the surface.
The whole twenty-two feet of ore now
exposed at depth In the Orofino pans
freely in gold. The owners believe that
this property may fairly be regarded as
one of the great mines of Oregon.
It lies several miles from the Bonanza,
which last month had a cleanup of $ 102,
000, and about equity distant from the
Red Roy, which averages a monthly pro
fit of from $ 30,000 to f 50,000. The Oro
fino is about on a line between the two
mines. Spokesman-Review.
Wonderful Deschutes River.
The Deschutes Is a wonderful river. It
Is greater in volume than any other east
ern Oregon stream, and also longer, tak
ing Its rise away up in Klamath county
mountains and pursuing a course of fully
250 miles to the Columbia. For fifty
miles of this course in Crook county its
stage never varies more than, a foot and
county bridges are built near the water
and buildings are erected at the margin of
the stream, In the full faith that It will nev
er flood them. When the river reaches a
certain stage the surplus water Is suppos
ed to leak out Into lava beds at the upper
end of this equable stretch and to be con
veyed In a subterranean channel to the
lower end, a point near the junction with
Crooked river, where It joins the main
stream again. But most of the course of
the Deschutes Is rapid, as its name indi
cates, and It flows through a canyon that
for grandeur and plcturesqueness rivals
the celebrated canyon of the Colorado.
Near the confluence of Crooked river with
the Deschutes there is a wealth of scenery
that Is fairly startling to one who comes
upon It unexpectedly, as the stranger al
ways does. The canyon must be more
than aooo feet deep there. It Is rugged to
a degree and the rocks are of various hues
and fantastic forms. Away down, down
in the bottom Is the roaring river, but Its
roar Is scarcely heard at the brink of the
mighty chasm. The place Is well worth
visiting for Its scenery; and then the river
is full of trout sixteen to twenty inches
long, and .such fools that they bite any
sort of hook they get a chance at. A
good road ends at that point, which Is
known as the Cove, going by way of
Haystack. Rut there is no lack of trout
anywhere in the Deschutes. Oregonian.
And Now Sumpter Gets a Jolt.
The latter part of last week a warrant
was Issued against Dr. Anderson for not
having reported to the city authorities a
case of contagious disease under his care,
the patient being a child of Cato Johns,
the iatter having previously been arrested
on the same charge. Attorney Johns, of
Baker City, came up Monday to defend
the Doctor. The trial was a stupidly
planned and a bungllngly enacted farce.
City Attorney Chance, who had previ
ously declared his unwillingness to pros
ecute the case, by a half dozen silly ques
tions asked of two witnesses, brought out
the fact that In the complaint, which he
had himself drawn, the given name of the
sick child was not correct, and on this
ground moved for dismissal, which, of
course, the recorder had to grant. The
attorney's action Is almost universally
condemned. Alderman Holley, chairman
of the committee on health and police,
whose duty it Is to enforce the health or
dinance, expressed the hope, after the dis
missal of this tase, that the at
torney would resign before Cato Johns'
trial takes place. It was postponed until
tomorrow. If he does not see fit to pur'
sue this course, the council, which holds
an adjourned meeting, this evening,
should employ special counsel to prose
cute the case. It is now up to the mayor
and city council.
