FOUR-FOOT BODY OF
COPPER AT PYSCHE.

5UILT IN CABLE COVE
Stated on Good Authority
That Three Will Go
In Shortly.
It Ih Hinted on good authority that
tho erection of at leant three big
custom iiiIIIh Ih contemplated in tho
Cable Cove iIIhI rict. Tho rumor has
porHlHtoutly circulated for several
days and from tho bent Information
obtainable today, It Iiiih Htibstautial
foundation in fact. Very little that
Ih dellnlte could bo learned as to who
is Isihlnd tho enterprises, though It
l stated that each one represents
separate capital, and that tho
movements aro being tliiauced by
people thoroughly able to furnish
the necessary capital.
Tho locations talked of for one
is In tho viciinty of tho California.
Another will go in near tho llaby
.McKco, while it Is not dellnlte where
tho third will bo built. No ca
pacity is mentioned, but il is
stated that tho mills will probably
go over 100 tons a day.
Tho Cable Cove will furnish an
ample ore supply for all three and
more too. Operators in this district
aro jubilant over tho prospects.
Great Gold Future of Oregon.
Oregon Is probably now second
only to California as a gold-producing
statu on tho Pacillc coast. What
Its future will bo may bo surmised
when It is known that state is barely
belted with railroads along its nor
thern border and along its western
si le. Few feeders outer the great
interior, and they but a short dis
tance, while tho greater portion of
tho state Is still dependent upon tho
primitive means of communication
and t rattle. That tills pioneer con
dition Is Hbout to pass away seems
certain in the face of present activity
along all lines an dlvidoud-imiyug
mines will bo counted ,by tho score
in tho very near future. Pacitlo

I X L'S RICH ORE.
A. .1. Hess, who is employed at
tho 1, X. L. and who is in tho city
today, states that tho rich striko at
this pioperty exceeds all accounts
which have boon written concerning
it. Some of tho ore, bo says, will
go 10,000 to tho ton and evidences
point to tho permaueucy of the shoot.
