Whose Instance The Receiver Was
Appointed.
O. O. HnriHon, of Portland, at
whoso instance it receiver was recent
ly appoiuntod for tho itod Uoy,ishoro
today on mutters rotating to this
property. Regarding tho reoolvor
ship and tho prolmblo riMiiniptioii of
the mini!, to a Dully Miner represen
tative, Mr. IIuiihoii said :
"It Ih my opinion that mutters
will reach a fuvorublu iidjiiHtment in

that the Red Hoy Is one of tho best
properties in tho distriut, mid the
EXODUS TO MOUNT
RASTUS CONTINUES
The excitement incident to tho
discovery of phonollte In the Mount
Kustiis dlslrcit, lowtr lluriit River
country, continues unabated. Indeed,
Interest seems to bu dully intensify
ing. Numerous purtles huve already
gone from hero to the scene of the
discovery, and others are prepurlug
to go. Mayor McCollooh, Clark
Knydo and a numler of others left
this morning, and still others are
going tomorrow. K. L. Manning, of
Miiuulng Si Welsh, urmed with
mluiiig deeds, quartz locations mid
all necessary legal documents, will
join the throng tomorrow. C. J.
Carlson, former superintendent of
the linlcnudu mill, will also hit the
trail (or Ihe lower lluriit river,
pel haps tomorrow.
The exodus Is dully guiuing in
proportion, and the present sltiiutlou
does not seem to lie a patching to
what will follow, Parties leaving
here goviu the new lluriit river road,
which seems to lie the ucuicst and
In-hI route to the Mount Rustus
district. There Is a direct wagon
road from here to Unity, a distance
of some twenty miles, which places
the new- district within about thirty
miles of Kumpter, according to the
licet Information. The opening of
the lluriit River road, makes
Suiupler the nearest point and
necessarily tho base of supply. This
means u lot to the business interests
of the city.
That the strike Is genuine and Is
one of the greutest In the history of
eastern Oiegou, nil reports seem to
agree, it appears to be another
Thunder Mountain stampede, or u
Made By Mr. Benson, at

regretted. Tho fact that tho work
ings are now in a somowhat barren
area doos not detract from tho gen
eral merit of tho ml no. Fur instance,
tho liouauzii had tbo same exporlonco
but greater dopth roveuled bettor oro.
In tho chho of tho Red lioy It is only
ii mutter of going deeper, when good
viilues will iiguln bo encountered.
Of course I cannot sny just when
operations will bo resumed, but I
give it us uu udvisod opinion thut
it will not bo long."
Cripple Crook proposition. It is
reported that '200 or 1100 people are
already thero and tho ranks are
rapidly increasing. Arrangements
are being made to plat u towusitc,
and there is every ovldueco of a
permanent camp. The phonollte
formation is said to carry veins
which are very rich In sylvan I to and
tollurides of gold. Assay values, it
Is suit, run high, mid there is
llerce competition in tho mutter of
locating claims. Preparations are
being made for tho delivery of lumbor

the company, aud Dr. W. 11. Park,
of Minneapolis, and F. lluckmeyer,

passed through tho city this morning
to their properties in the (ireenhorns.
It bus been persistently reported thut
these people huve some railroad
project on hands in addition to their
mining interests, but when scon by
a Miner representative this morning
they stated thut this was a mistake,
but thut they were neither under
oath nor on the witness stand.
It was learned from them, however,
thut they intend putting mills on
both tho Humbolt and Red Lion,
which are operated by this company.
The plants will be twenty-ton Kin
keads, which it is claimed will treat
ore nf this (trade very successfully.
The eastern members of the firm

where they saw a Kinkead in opera
tion. They state that they were well

STANDARD IS
LOOKING GOOD
Dr. O. P..RUoy. F. M. Riley, of
Iowa, and J.A.McLaughlln, secretary
of tho Klllon, Warner, Stewart
company, returned last night from
the Standard. Dr. Riley who was
hi mo proporiy two montns ago,
notices a vast change, aud many
Improvements in this mine. He
says:
"Four mllofl of road havo boon
completed from tho county road, to
the mine. It 1b a magnificent piece
of road, and furnished an ox
collont highway. Tho tunnel
house has boon completed, aud tho
property is showing up surprisingly
well. Far bettor than I expected to
find it.
Tho values in tho faco of thu
Wlllln boy drift from tho oroscsut
represent an avorugo of about 810.
Tho crosscut from tho Standard vein
is in very hard rock, aud tho progress
Is necessarily slow. Tho company
has repaired its boardiug, bunk
housos, and cabins gouorally and is
In a posltiou for onorgotio de
velopment work through tho wiutor
mouths.
LAS1 CHANCt BOILER
HAS BEEN DELIVERED.
The Last Cbauco boiler, after a
slow aud laborious journey of over a
weok, covering only twelve miles,
was delivored at tho property yester
day afternoon. The boiler made a
top heavy load aud it was necessary
to proceed slowly In order to prevent
accident.
Sixteen horses wore used in its
transportation. Twolve were hitohed
In front aud four were UBod In the
rear us pushers. Teamsters claim
that more than eight or ten horses
in front of a load cannot be used
effectively, aud that by plaolug tbo
others III tho rear to push, tho power
can be hotter utilized.
It is uudertsood thut the boiler is
to be placed at once aud tho hoisting
machinery starts up In a few days.

the Honest Dollar drift and the

KADISH SAYS HE
WILL MAKE GOOD
fiela Kadlsh la here again today
on the Sumpter-Bourne trolley
project. He Is very positive as to
his statements regarding the building
of the line. To a Daily Miner
representative, he said:
"I am going to build that line,
and you may depend upon it. I am
not asking the people here for a
cent. I can get the Killon, Warner,
Stewart half interest in the right of
way, and I do not antclpate any
difficulty in controlling the Phllbrlok
and McLaln Interests. The citizens
of Sumpter will not be asked for any
assistance whatever. I will put up
tho money for the right of way and
for the cost of constrcuting the
road. Moreover, I am going to
begin work at once. That is, I
will havo tbo survoys made, and do
as much grading as possible before
cold weathor seta in. Plans are to
bo made, tie contracts let, and
orders placed for tho necessary con
struction material and equipment. Of
courso, it must bo understood that
this is au undertaking which cannot
bo accomplished in a day. It will
require somo time to dollvor rails
aud rolling stock, but it is my in
tention to get these, orders placed as
sooii as posBiblo, with a vlow to
early spring delivery. I will be in
a position to start tho preliminary
work iu a short timo, and when
spring opens
up continue active
operations."
It is understood from the Klllen,
Warner, Stewart peoplo thut Mr.
Kudlsh has takou over their half In
torost In the right of way, and Mr
Killeu statos that tho firm has been
given every reasonable guarantee
that the road will bo built.
Thoro is sumo difference of oplniou
relative to the status of that right of
way, which the promoters seem to
thiuk is the key to the situation.
Beta Kudlsh says bo holds the Phil
brick quarter iuterest. Phllbrlok
asys he doesu't; that bis option has
expired aud has not been renewed.
No one claims to have secured B. L.
McLrIu'b quarter iuterest. There
is no doubt but what the Killeu,
Warner, Stewart company acquired
a half Interest from tbo late Tom Mo
Ewou. This has been transferred to
Bela Kadish, so Mr. Killeu Bays,
himself.
But now Attorney C. H. Chauco
steps to the center of the stage, iu
tho focus of the llmo light, and says
thut until ho 1b "seen" uoue of theso
people own au iuterest. Tbo title to
this right-of-way rests with a com
pany. Mi. Chauco secured this title
from tho Interior department and
today holds all of tho papers pertain
ing thereto, Including tho stock, that
bus never been Issued. His unpaid
fee 1b SliUO, aud he thinks ho Hub
amplo security for that amount.
