C. K. McCloary was up from Pino

ou the remainder of tho Disabel
Swamp miuiuc propertv. Mr. Mc
Cleary sold quite a lot of stock in
the lloguo mine last week and says
there is no more stock for sale at

real estate Co. sold theStribliug ranch
ou Lassen Creek last eek, consisting
of several hundred acres. The prico
recieved was about o000. Ho says
real estate is ou the raise down his
way .and many transactions are taking
place.
T. J. Nickersou, a mining mun, was
iu town last Saturday from Dry
Creek, on tho West Side, w here he has
been prospecting for several weeks.
Mr. Nickersou is llrmly of the belief
that some rich diggings will be stak
ed over on that side of tho vulley yet.
He is having a thorough analysis
made of all his findings by expert
niiuerologists, of Denver, Col., and
believes that other minerals, fully as
productive us gold will yet bo disclos
ed. He has two mining meu with
him, and a clean sweep is being made
of the country west of this valley.

K McCleary , the Pino Creek mining
muu and real estate dealer succeeded

New Industry for Umatilla.
That Umatilla county may Income
the rubber crowing center of the Pii
ciflc coant, Is now a possibility.
C. T. Douglas, of Darango, Col., an
agent for the rubber trust of the
United States, passed down the O. R.
A N. this morning to Keho and Uma
tilla, to investigate the adaptibility of
the soil and climate in the west end
of Umatilla county to the rubber
plant whieli grows in New Mexico,
Arizona, southern Utah and southern
Colorado, in abundance.
The plant flourishes in sandy, hot
soil and lives for hundreds of years
without moisture or cultivation in the
sand hills of old Mexico. The trust is
beginning its cultivation in parts of
southern Colorado and Utah, and will
investigate diffe-ent parts of the Pa
cific coant with a view to starting rub
ber plantations.
Hilly, sandy, arid land, which is
too high for other crops is a favorite
location for a rubber plunt field and
after rid-ng over western Umatilla
county, Mr. Douglas w ill report to his
company in New York, and if every
thing is favorable it is possible that
arrangements w ill l.o made to start an
experimental crop in this county.
According to Mr. Douglas, it requires
about two years for the rubber plant
to come to maturity and a good crop,
weU net ou the ground, w ill yield from
100 to ?i H?r acre, annually.
It is customary, to extract the juice
from the plant and ship it in liquid
form to the factories where the plan
tation is located at a distance from
the factory, but w here the factory and
field are close together it is custom
ary to ship the plants as they are har
t vested, to the factory, where they are
crushed.
The'Yiibher liquid is contained in
! the stalks of the plants and as they
grow older the liquid becomes more
abundant although the foilage becom
es less dense as the plants grow old.
Little, if any cultivation is neces
sary and the plants take deep root and
seldom die. It costs from 3 to $10
per acre to plant the laud to rubber.
The favorite method is to secure
young shoots from older fields and
transplant them. However, a good
stand may be secured from seed.
' Stock News.
! C. Swaustou, the beef and mutton
buyer, arrived here several days ago
j to look over the field before opening

Sole of Reid Estate Confirmed.
The following article regarding tho
prospective growth of New Pine Creek
was published iu the Miner last
week :
Mr. Guy McKuue has just received
official notice from the superior court
of Modoc county that bis bid for and
side of the Reid estate, has been con
firmed by that Tribunal. This means
much to New Pine Creek, while we
have at all times felt very sanguine of
the ultimate result, yet there has ex
isted an under current of dourt as to
whet her or not the sule of this proper
ty would bo confirmed by tho court,
aud a great mauy persons who really
desired to purchase property ou the
California side hesituted as the result
of that doubt. Now, however, 'tis
diirereut aud there is no longer any
thing iu the wuy of tho upbuilding of
our towu on the California side."
