f Over'lnl Lake county JJthere has
boon waged for mouthri pant a con
tost between thirty homestead Bot
tlers and the Warner Valley Stock
company, involving title to 4,800
acroH of land. All published evi
deuce in tho case points to the fact
that It was a barefaced land grab on
the part of the rich corporation, that
tho homesteaders were bona fide
settlors.
Governor Chamberlain requested
the Interior department to withhold

MORt GOOD GOAL FOUND
IN JOHN DAY COUNTRY.
Word has roachod thla place that
tho crew of miners prospecting for
coal on tho rivor near tbo' homo of
lames Small havo drilled through a
solid bed of coal o a depth of HO
feet. Nor la tho bottom of this
wonderful stratum yot roachod.
Should theso reports bo continued,
and thoy aro mado on good authority,
this will provo to bo ono of tho
largest deposits of coal ovor
dtcsovered.
Tho operations aro being conducted
by V. A. Downs, a Hoiso coal expert,
and tho question of quality
has very probably boon eottlod,
as these Investigations havo boon
going ou quietly foi some time. Had
not tho quality proved satisfactory it
Ih not probable that ho would havo
placed heavy machinery on tho
ground and employed n number of
workmen to investigate the extent of
the deposit.
It is rumored that Mr. Downs
represents the O. It. & N. company;
but whether this Is true or not
matters little, for as soon as such
vast deposits of coal of u commercial
quality aro proven to exist in
this valley, transportation will bo
provided. A number of dltrereut
railway companies would hustlo to
bo tho tlrst to got their lines iuto
the llold. liraut Count News.
Nebraska Banker Here.
W. A. Warner, of Croigbton,
Nebraska, biother to E. P. Waruor,
of tho Killeu, Warner, Stewart com
pany, arrived hero this morning to
look after Interests iu tho camp.
Mr. Warner Is prominent in banking
circles at Crelghtun,
RUSHING WORK ON
MINES AND ROAD.
E. A. HutcbiuH, outsldo manager
for J. W. Bonta, was a passenger on
tho Sumter Valley today, on his way
to Prairie City, to put up buildings
at tbo Oregon Wonder and Will
Cleaver properties. Twelve men are
at work on tho Oregon Wonder and
work Istobodonoon tho Will Cleavor
group by contract, running two
shifts. Work will be continued all
winter.
Major Honta has sixteen claims at
Mount ItastiiH ou which bo Is now
erecting buildings and will spend
820,000 In development. Tbo
Pittsburgh parties, who havo several
claims in this district, aro also
preparing to work all winter.
Mr. ilutchlus also Biiid that tho
Citizens' league, of linker City, bad
argcod to assist tho Donta railroad
in every way possible, toward secur
ing terminal ground and n right of
way iuto linker. Ho said Unit as
hoou as tho weather permits in tbo
spring thoy will have 'J. 000 men at
work grading and making road bed
ami would push tho lino through to
1'ralrlo City as rapidly as possiblo.
Ah tho survey now ruus, it Is only
fourteen miles to Sumpter and It is
quite probablo that thoy would
run a branch iuto tins town.
it. A. Hnllonbock, nnoof tho transit
men on tho lionta surveying crow,
was also ou tho train this morning.
Ho got oil at Lookhart to go to one
of tbo camps eight miles from tboro,
wboro twolvo men aro at work.
Speaking to a Minor representative
this morning Mr. Hutoblns said:
"Tho Honta railway will bo built
beyond any question of doubt. Tho
contract for clearing the right of
way is to bo lot this fall and work
will bo started within the next thirty
days. Tho plau is to complete this
part of tho work and be ready in the
spring to begin actlvo oporatious.
If everything goos as wo havo out
lined, tho road will bo compleodt
and in operation to Piairle City by
October 1. Tbo branch to Sumpter
is also a matter which will be taken
up. After tho main lino is finished,
wo flguro on brlngiu g a branch into
Sumpter from a point some twolvo
miles from tho city on the main
lino. Of oourso, this doponds
somewhat upon the attitudo which
tho cltizous show to tho enterprise,
but so far their willinguoss to
cooporato bus boon demonstrated."
Estimating Ore In Sight.
Tbo "oro iu sight" in a miuo can
only bo determined approximately
at best. Long experience has provou
that appearances In mino development
aro often deceptive and uurelioblo.
No mining engineer Ih safe in assum
ing a largor tonuago "iu sight" than
ho can estimate In oro bodies cut on
four sides, within relatively short
distauuo, although somo aro willing
to baso their judgment on cuttings
exposing threo sides of tho block of
oro. These suggestions contemplate
the raeasuremeut of a body of oro in
h volu of moderato width twenty
foot or less. Wheu tho vein exceeds
this width even greater caution is
necessary. It is a curious fact that
oro bodies upon being extracted
rarely produco a tonnage iu excess
of estimates previously made. Min

To Visit Mines.
A. L. Morris, mining editor of the
Telegram and Solicitor York of the
same paper went to Prairie City
today. Mr. Morris will visit the
mines in that vicinity returning
Friday when he will make a trip to
the Cracker Creek district.
