ANXIOUS HNQUIHEK
Tho questioner must gut the do

TWO MINING GROUPS
WERE CONSOLIDATED
(Seorge C. Uautz, of Seattle, pros!
dent of the lilue Mountain (Sold
turning company, anil S. 11. Norton,
also of Seattle, who has the manage
ment of the company, returned today
from the properties in the Cracker
I'lcek district. Mr. (iaut. returned
IIiIh afternoon (o Seal tie, and Mr,
Noil 1111 will remain and iuaiiguiate
VMirk at once.
At a meeting held Home time ago,
the .luritice group, owned by Seattle
interests, aud the Cracker King, also
held largely in Seattle, were con
solidated under the name of the Mine
Mountain tiold Mining company,
laud the two properties, which are
I located near each other, will be
'operated in conjunction. Mr.
1 1 ant, says:
"We have already invested a good
sum, but we are prepared to invest
more to keep thlnus going. Wo have
absolute faith in our holdings, aud
our immediate plan is thorough and
systematic development work."
Mr. (Sautz Has spent sevotal days
at the properties aud is well pleased
with them. Mr. Norton will start
operations at once.
JOHN DAY THE
LAND OF PLENTY
T. J. Coatollo roturuod last night
from a gouoral trip through tho John
Day country, with glowiug accounts
of this garden spot of creation.
This Ih tho way ho talks:
"Thoro nro cattle sevouty Huiob
f utter than fat, grazing on a thousand
hills, and groin waving in innumer
able valleys. It is truly a region of
prosperity, rogurdloss ot the effoots
of the ropulicau administration or
the nomination of Parker. The
marketable cattle this year will
reach a vast numbor, probably exceed
ing that of any previous year. The
ulfalfa crop is being harvested, but
fartnors aro wait! ug for more settled
weather to start on the timothy. The
hay production this year will be
euurmous, and whou tho cattle aro
marketed the country will soo an
influx of money never uoforo wit
nessed in its history. John Day is
certainly a laud of plenty, the garden
Hpot of l'Jiiloru Oregon and tho homo
of a happy, hospitablo and prosperous
people.

FARMERS KICK ABOUT
TAILINGS FROM MINES
It transpired yesterday that thoro
Ih liable to be serious trouble in'
the near future between the farmers
of that portion of linker county
known as western I'owder valley,
bordering on tho Pocahontas aud
Hnialoy Elkhoru mining districts,

A leading attorney of tbe city
yesterday atatod that half a dozoti
prominent rauohera whoso rauchea are
covered by theso ditches are becom
ing vory indignaut ovor tho situation
and may oombino lu a geueral suit at
common law to rectify tho evil. The
dltohes aro and for sumo time past
llHVO been carrylug HO heavy a deposit
of tailings from tho mines as to
rapidly till tho ditches aud
make it
noeoHHarrv to build up tboir sides
hii order to carry any water. Thie
has resulted iu many instances in
criss-crossing tho farms with theso
embanked ditches having the appear
ance of high railroad grades, Not
only are the ditches unsightly but
they aro rapidly loosing tholr ueo
fulness as irrigation dltchos.
While the character of the mineral
deposits does not hciii to have in
jmed the laud in any way, yet the
tin mi'is have not courted this addi-'
tiou to their Kill htate and do not
care for it. DillVrent from the do-1
poults of California, where themiu-
eiul deposits are poison to the laud,
these deposits seem to do very little
injury, but being reddish iu color
they are very unsightly and the
principal objection as stated is the

Paid Old Debt in Gold Dust.
Yesterday Will Kotzor, of tho
Senate saloon was tho reoipiout of an
express package that reminded many
ot tho early days iu this section.
Not only was it unique, but one that
would have beeu most acceptable to
auy citizen of tbe town. It was a
buckskin sack containing S300 in
gold dust and tagged with the ad
dieses of its present owner. Long ago
Mr. Retzer was requested by n friend
in Alaska to loan him a few hundred.
This sum Mr. Retzor wired to his
friend and the obligation was
squared by this Alaskan commercial
method.- Walla Walla Statesman.
