About ten days ago a live foot ledge, of almost pure cobalt ore was struck in tho breast of the lower tunnel in the Standard mine at Quartzburg. Tho company have tried to keep this secret, but it lias at last leaked out. Zocth llouser camo in from Quurtzlnirg Tues day evening on his way to Kelio, where his children are visiting witli relatives. Mr. Houser made the statement in regard to the rcort of tho 5-foot ledge, lately struck in the Standard mine, that while some oi tue ore was pure metal, ; some of it was not so high grade, thus qualifying the report to a certain extent. He also said that the shipment of one carload of concentrates, nlxnit 15 tons, were Hearing completion, as only 52 sacks, or aliout 5800 pounds thereof, still remains at the mine for shipment. These concentrates contain aliout 10 ht cent copper, 8 per cent cobalt and $100 in gold. Prairo City Miner. Dixie Meadows' Ore Goes $412. Work is progressing rapidly on the Dixie Meadows Gold Mining company's property. Ten men are at work at pres out, but two more men will bo added to their force, and twelve men will bo kept at work all winter. They oxcct to have everything in readiness for it mill of 75 ton capacity in the early spring. As the work progresses the value of the ore ucreases. Sixteen assays were taken from 150 feet of the lodge, across tho en tire width, by an oxiert, who did uo tako any of tho richest siecimeiis, the average of which brought 58 er ton. The highest assay went as high as f 412. The width of the ledge will average about 12 feet. These slatments are actual facta and fully reliable, given by disinterested men, whose reliability and truthfulness cannot be disputed, no, not oven doubted. Proirio City Miner. Progreuon Cracker-Oregon Mill. Tho machinery for the Cracker-Oregon is arriving, but has been somewhat de layed, owing to the heavy snowfall. Tho mill building is ready for the machinery, which is being placed us rapidly as It arrives Tho next ten days or two weeks will probably see the ar rival of all or practically all the machin ery. The mill building is one of the best ever constructed in eastern Oregon and much credit is due Milwright Laid law and Wm. Stcdnian who had charge of the work of construction. All the heavy timbers were sawed by sccial order at the McKwcn mill, where a baud saw is used giving tho timbers practical ly the same finish as dressed liiuilxtr. The long timbers are all one piece, no splices being employed, giving much greater strength to tho building. Bourne News.

This we know to be an absolute fact, be cause on both sides of it the ledges have been proven to be wide and rich, both width and values increasing to a known depth of iooo feet. On these particular claims sufficient development work has been done to demonstrate that the ore is there. We need money with which to block out and treat the ore, and you can get in on this good thing at ground floor prices. You can buy an interest, large or small, in a property that is sure to develop into a mine, at a figure usually charged for an unproven prospect. Write and let us submit to you an ex ceptionally favorable proposition.
