Shows Thousands of Tons of Quartz Qreat Plant to Be Installed Shortly la Carrying *7. Eastern Oregon. Eugene—Information lias been re ceived at the office of the North Fair view Mining company, in this city, of a very rich strike that has been made in the Belle of Fairview elaim, in the Bohemia district, showing probably the largest deposit of free-milling ore ever struck in thia section. Tunnels and shafts already made, block out over 100,000 tons of oxidized decomposed quarts, carrying an aver age of »7 ]x*r ton in free gold. The ledge is a great true fissure, and is from 18 to 40 feet wide where it has lieen opened. In the different cross tunnels tiie ore shows continuous crop pings for 2,300 feet over on the west slope of Fairview mountain, and from the present indications there are over 1,000,000 tons of the same quality as that already blocked out, and the vein is 40 feet wide at the west end of the claims, where a tunnel on the vein will tap the ore body at a vertical depth of 1,200 feet. This are can be mined and milled for »1.50 per ton, which leaves a hand some profit for the owners. TO TEACH FARMINO. A New Study for Common School Course Is Proposed. Salem—The teaching of the elements of argiculture in the common schools of Oregon is advocated by Superinten dent of Public Instruction J. H. Acker man. The purpose of the introduction of this study would not be to teach the children the technical side of scien tific farming, but rather to give them an umleistanding of such elementary facts and principles as every person who resides in an agricultural country should know. Superintendent Acker man believes that at some future time such a study should be placed in the common school course, and that before the teaching of this branch is com menced, time should be given for the teachers to prepare for the work they will be required to do. He would have every applicant for a teacher's certifi cate take an examination in the sub ject of elements of agriculture. Union—The consummation of one of the most gigantic mining propositions ever promoted in Union county, if not in the entire state, was announced here a few days ago. George H. Downs, the mining promoter, who has been mak ing the town of North Powder his head quarters the past two years while at work upon this big deal, stated that his project has the backing of New York capitalists, and that the matter has reached the point of certainty ef consummation. The company has just perfected its incorporation, and the articles will be tiled with the county clerk here and with the secretary of state. The name of the corporation is the Eastern Oregou Mining, Milling, Transportation, Smelt ing A Generating company. The capi tal stix'k is placed at »5,000,000. The first officers of the corporation will be: H. O. Gorham, president and treasurer; W. H. Gorham, vice-president and George H. Downs, secretary and gen eral manager. The company proposes to erect a 250- ton smelter near the town of North Powder, in Union county, about 15 miles south of Union, for treating all tiie various grades of gold and copper ores found in the southern part of Union county and northern part of Baker county, end in order to bring such ores to tiie reduction works it is proposed to build a number of short electric lines to the mines, covering a distance of over 50 miles. These lines are to lie built not only for carriyng ores, but passengers and freight as well. Manager Downs de clined to give particulars ’ as to the routes of the lines, but says the entire project is a certainty. Mast Supply the Water.
