Wednesday, December 16, 190$ THE SUMPTER MINER 11 HIGH VAUES AT THE HOMESTAKE . A. Dagany, who is a two-thirds owner of the Hcmestake group of claims in the Cracker Creek district, has reasons to be jubilant over the showing which the proprerty is mak in. He has a line of samples which come in yes'erday which justify the most sanguine prospects for the prop erty. The ore shows gold sulphides, which will carry several figure Id ajh assay return. The property is contiguous to the Golconda and Columbia and has praotiually the same high grade ore found in these well known mines. There are two claims, the Homestake and the Oolden Gate, two-thirds of which is owned as stated by Mr. Dagany, and one-third by J. W. Monow, of Portland. The vein has been crosscut a dis tance of eight feet, without walls. The crosscut in question was started at a distance of eighty feet from the portal of the drift, which is now in one hundrred and twenty feet. The entire distance is lu good ore, and the probabilities are that here Is another Craoker Creek bonanza. The owners nave a force of men at work, and it is their intontion to .steadily push development. The ore shown in the crosscut, high pay stuff characteristic of Cracker Creek district, justifies owners in exerting their energy ward developing the property. the the the to- TO RUN THROUGH 3.000 TONS TAILINGS E. Simpson, owner of the Monitor, 4eft this morning for the property. He is following up the machinery for the mill to be installed, which left faere yesterday. Mr. Simpson says that the mill will be started within a few days. His plan is to put a temporary shed over it, and run through 3,000 tons of tailings. Later, permanent build inga will be erected. Mr. Simpson has been in the miaing business for the last forty years in Montana and other sections. His Susanville property will be put on a producing basis at an early date. TIGHT FOR CLOSED TOWN AT WHITNEY Whitney will bold a municipal Ieutlon to choose a mayor, recorder, treasurer and councilman, the" first Monday in January, which falls on the 4tb. Recorder Joe Rosenthal, who was here yesterday looking after election supplies, states that there will be a fight between the open and closed town elements. The candidates, be says, have not yet been announced, but each faction will have its men in the field and the contest will be made on these lines. Handed a Bunch of Hard Luck. Geo. R. Wiegand has been going against protty bard luck for the past two or three months. He says that it might have been worse and he la now gettng so he rather likes it. During the fall he and bis part ners in the Royal White mine in the Greenhorns erected a number of buildings at the mine, one of them being a commodious boarding house that cost about $300. A short time ago operations at the mine discontinued for the winter and all the tools about the mine were stored in the boarding house. Last mast week the building with all the contents were consumed by fire. The loss was approximately 1450. In the building were most of the personal effects of Mr. and Mrs. Wiegand, many of the articles of which they prized very highly. Granite Gem. WILL DfVELOP AT QUARTZBURG A. Arlington fllbbs, Dr. J. G. Hibbs and Edward G. Jay, capital ists of Philadelphia, woro visitors In the city Tuesday, accompanied by Cbifton Cleaver, of Pralre City. The gentlemen from the east are on a visit to Oregon to look over quartz properties and arrange for the devel opment of property owned It the Orogon-Idaho Gold Mining company, at Quartzburg. They recently ac quired this property, which is situated adjaoent to the famous Standard mlno in that district, and bavo placod a torco of men at work driv ing a tunnel on the property and bavo carponters at work orecting the necessary buildings, iif order that work may be pushed during tho pros out winter. From these gontlemon the Olue Mountain Eagle learns that the quartz mines of Oregon are attracting considerable attention In all of tbo Eastern states and particularly tho state of Pennsylvania, and that the prospect Is very bright for much east ern capital to be invested in mineral properties of this country during tbo coming year. While a light snow fall intoreferred somo with their examination of tho mineral re sources in somo localtilea, yet from what tboy have seen, they weio favorably impressed with the futuro cf Grant county, und their visit here will result in thoir company expend ing considerable money In the do velopment of some of our quartz properties. Blue Mountain Eaglo. Cleaver Brothers sold tbo property to these aeutleroen which they are developing, and E. E. Cleaver stated to a Miner roan while in uumpier Saturday that they are greatly pleased with it in particular and the country in general. They let a contraot for 200 feet of tunnel while here, to be driven this winter. In the spring a representative will be tent out to superintend development on a large scale. They reside In Pennsylvania and are men of large means. F. A. E. STARR. MININU INVESTMENTS Orr Austin MtMarkt - Sumpser. Oregon CHAS. H. CHANCE ATTORNEY AT LAW I.

OREGON BKOrORO MoNIILL'8 CODE WILL C0RTELY0U TURN ON THE LIGHT Secretary Cortelyou announces In his annual report that the new de partment of commerce aud labor has been organized, and that it has al ready inaugurated the work for which it was created. Ibe moat important bureau of the department is that which has to do with corporations. It Is the duty of this bureau to Inves tigate the organization, conduct and rdanaeBnt- of . - corporations and joint stock companies engaged In In terstate commerce, so that the public may know If these concerns are pur suing legitimate methods and are living up to the provisions of law In the management of their affairs. Presumably, the bureau of corpora tions has not yet undertaken to look Into the Inside workings of the great trusts aud monopolies that bavo thus far conducted business without inter ferenco. When the tlmo comes to investigate tho affairs of such gi gantic concerns as tho Standard Oil company, to scrutinize Its capitaliza tion and ascertain its divldonds, to uncover some of the methods adopted to kill competition aud to hold the distribution of a great comnipdity as tho privilogo of a single corporation, it is quite certain that a protesting ffall will uo up. aud there will bo a vigorous doulal of tho government's right to disclose the monopoly secrots of tho octopus. It Is thou that the uow dopartmeut will have an opportunity to show whether Its work Is to bo thorough and bouoiloial, or only perfunctory. Tho president has been so urgent iu bis demand for publicity that It would soeni bis subordinates cau hardly fail to mako their investiga tions cumprebouslvo aud complete, and the facts gathered will bo await ed with. great public interest.
