Oregon, Hhould nut think of parting with it for many timos what it will probably bring up there. Tho property is ideally located. Thoro is verltablo forests of timber on tho grounds, while there Ih water in abundance for powor, milling, and other purposes. Tho mine Iiiih been opened through three tunnels, I think each ono of which was run in on tho vein. The location of the mine Ih hucIi that it h at least 2,fi00 feet (loop without having to sink a shaft. Tlie oro is in heavy sulphide, but we did not get the best results in milling, principally because the mine was too remote to give It tho attention re quired in mastering tho metallurgy of the rock. It will most likely smelt belter than it will mill, but that is a matter that can easily bo determined if someone getH tho mine that can give it tho proper attention. "Doforo closing down' Mr. Keith and 1 spent a great deal of money in developing ami equipping the prop erty, but some of our neighbors undertook to hold us up because in one instance we crossed a claim with a piece of road and in another because wo wanted dump room for one of the tunnels.

Prior to that time he was in the Mosaho range, Michigan. Portland Journal RIGH ORE IN I. X. L. HOLDING WITH DEPTH James Cusiek, foreman of the I. X.

On the 1. X.

This instrument Ih datod August 1 1, but was only filed yesterday. Soymour Bell, one of tho largo stockholders in tho South Polo com pany, said today that ho never hoard of tho deal bofero: that Potor Hasche, of linker City, is handling tho proposition, and, of course, it is therefore all right. Regarding tho transaction the Democrat of this morning says: It Ih understood on good authority that this transfer is a more mutter of clearing a title and the establish ment of permanent boundary lines between the North and South Polo properties, ho that both companies can now push operations on now ground without interference. PANHANDLE GRAVEL YIELDS $1 PER YARD Kx Alderman Jack llazlowood will leave Sumpter shortly tor Eagle creek, in tho Panhandle of linker county, where he and Tom lb-own and Charles Hall ford own a valuable placer mining property. Mr. llale wood will repair tho d Itches and get things in shape for active operations next spring. Ho conlldontly ex pects a big cleanup, as tho ground is exceptionally rich. "We have never found a yaid of gravel on our claims which didn't yield a dollar," said Mr. Ha.lewood to a Miner man this morning. The property is on main Kaglo creek, the principal gravel bins lying on the slope of (he high divide between main Eagle and Hast. Knglo. That Grande Rondo Belt Line. 1 A.

MoDaniol, of Baker City, passed through Sumpter on the afteruoou train, on routo homo from a trip to tho Uoldon Star mine, in tho fJreouhnms, in which ho is heavily interested. Dr. McDauiel was urgently put forward by his friends as candidate for mayor of linker City. Ho was compelled to decliuo the honor, owing to the press of professional duties. While in conversation with a Minor re porter at tho train this afternoon, Dr. McDauiel diplomatically re fused to talk politics. "1 pm just a trifle afraid of you Sumpter news paper men," he said, while in Sumpter, on "yesterday, my way to Greenhorn, I met a reporter for the morning paper here. 'Hello,1 said he. 'Hello,' eaid 1. Tho conversa tion thus begati and so ended, imagine my surprise this morning when I saw myself interviewed at great length in the morning paper, with whoso editor and roportor 1 ex changed, perhaps, two or throe words.

ELECTRIC POWER EOR GREENHORN It has been rumored moro or Iosj during the summor that an oleotric power plant was to bo established in Groouhorn City, but it remained for tho announcement to be made yester day by C. K. A Id rin, tho promoter, that all arrangements had a heady been completed for tho construction in tho early spring of a water powet electric plant at tho Groouhorn, with a capacity of 80 horeo power, to dis tributed among tho iiiiues which have already made application for powor. The water powor machinery will bo erected about eight milos from Green horn. A heavy wire will bo ruu from there to Groouhorn Citv where the main powor house and distribu ting plant will be situated. Tho establishment of this plan means tho reduction in operating ex penses of the mines of nearly fifty per cent, as in that camp fuel has been quite expensive. The enterprise is backed by woll known local and eiistern capitalists. Domociat. THE NATIONAL BANKER 84 86 Li Salle St. ' CHICAGO, ILLINOIS A journal of National circulation.
