THE SUMPTER MINER
VUI Inspect Oregon's Desert Land.
A press dispatch from Tho Dalles says
that Representative Moody 1ms just re
ceived a letter from Hon. H. F. Newell,
chief hydrograplicr of the geological de
partment at Washington, stating that
he, with Gifford Pinchut, chief of the
forestry bureau, will reach Tho Dalles
about August 1, when they expect to
Join Mr. Moody on a drive through the
semi-arid sections of eastern Oregon.
No itinerary will bo fixed until the ex
act date of their arrival is known. How
ever, tho trip contemplated is from Tho
Dalles to Prineville, thence by way of
tho headwaters of tho Deschutes to
Burns, Harney county, and, if time will
permit, on through to Malheur county.
Mr. Moody will make announcement of
tho route when it is determined upon, in
order that tho stockmen interested in
pasturage on forest reserves and those
interested in the reclaimation of arid
lands may have an opportunity to meet
these gentlemen. Since they are the
heads of tho forestry and hydrographic
bureaus of tho government, and upon
whoso reports pasturage in forest re
serves may bo regulated in tho fuiuro,
it is important that all interested in tho
question should meet thoso gentlemen.
Mr. Newell and Mr. l'inchot both havo
indicated a doslro to moot tho woolgrow
ors of eastern Oregon, and it is expected
a meeting will bo called at The Dalles
and Prineville when thodatoof their ar
ival is known.
Mine are Made, Not Found.
A man who would .hesltato to buy a
farm without an exhaustive examina
tion of all the conditions 'necessary to
success, will como to Colorado and in
vest in mining property without any
tests of the ore and with absolutely no
knowledge of tho business. It is not
'necessary i,n these days to make a mis
take in tho purchase of mining property.
"The oro can be seen and measured ; bo
ifore a dollar is paid on tho projwrty it
can be tested by all means known to
science by men who havo made the bus
iness a lifelong study, and whoso inter
st it is to tell tho truth) and it can then
be decided whuthor or not the mlno "an
ibo made to pay, and exactly what meth
ods of reduction should bo applied to
itheore. When tho character of tho
.ore is understood, and it has been
ihown that a margin of profit
can be assured, the rent is nothing
but intelligent development of tho mine
and a careful application' of the ascer
tained means for the extraction of the
values. Many of tho mistakes are tho
nesult of tho fallacy that mines are
iound, but they aro tho exceptions
which prove tho ruin. Mines must bo
made with tho same care, intelligence
,and skill that arc required to build a
ifactory, and when one goes into mining
bllndfoldod he has no one to blame but
(himself for almost Inevitable dhlutor.

Indians Gatlyr Lost Wool.
