MADE IN LAKEVIEW
8amples Are Brought Up
From Sunshine Property
and Panning Made
A very convincing demonstration of
ore aamplea from the Sunahlne High
Grade Mining propertiea in the High
Grade district la being made in Lake
view thla week. Monday Secretary
Cbaa. L. Fulton and Vice Prealdent
B. X. Dawson brought up about 800
pounds of rook from the Sunshine mine,
which waa roughly taken at 30 feet
under ground. The aamplea were
taken to the Green Garden Rooming
House and panninga made to give the
publio a fair and unblaaed'ldea of what
they contained in gold values.
Of all the testa made of the ore te-
fore an Examiner representative, a
good sized atring of gold waa obtained
in the bottom of the pan. While there
were no large chunks of the preoloua
metal clingirg on the different piecea
of the rock Inspected, in nearly every
piece of rock gold waa discernible, and
splendid colore were obtained from
every sample panned. The indisput
able evidence of the fine gold In thia
rock la really mure encouraging to old
time mining men than the coarse out
cropping, aa It Indicates a more per
manent gold bearing ledge.
The Sunsbipe Company ia operating
the original Sunshine mine and are
j taking out ore every day. Five lease
have been let on the property which in
cludes the Vellow Jacket and other un
developed proapecta. All leases are let
with the condition that work shall
atart at once. The original ownera of
the Sunshine, Schauera and Laughlin,
have taken a lease on a oortion of the
Sunshine claim and it la reported
that they have a aplendid proapeot.
Newa came tn thla office yesterday
that a sensational strike had just been
made on the Yellow Jacket claim.
In all, the indications for the future
look bright and every one ia anxiously
awaiting futher developments of our
mining industry.
Seventy-five head of J. F. Hanson'a
mules Sunday passed through town, en
route to the construction on the tern
ley Lassen extension of the Southern
Puciflo. Contrac tor Riddels leased the
stock from Mr. Hanson to use on his
ten mile grading contract on tbat road.
New Stock Yards
'Ihe N.-C.-0. Ky. thla week started
a force of men to work on building
stock yards, just aouth of the freight
bouse. The yard are being construct
ed to handle sheep only at present, but
will finally be enlarged to take care of
cattle and horses aa well. No aheep
aalea have been made In thla aectlon aa
yet, but in view of future purchases,
some "f the buyer have requested tbat
the yards be made ready so that ablpp
Ing will not be delaved when (be mar
ket opena up.
It la reported that there are plenty
of aheep in the country thie aeaaon and
when shipping begins, together with
the heavy wool traffic, the outgoing

STRIKE REVEALS
GOODPROSPECT
Vein of Solid Quartz Late
Discovery o n Sunshine
Property
Word of a sensational atrike in the
High Grade district reached Lakeview
yesterday, and it is reported that about
500 people have rushed to the hills on
the strength of the report.
The new vein waa opened by Fred
Schrott and L. R. Mack, who are oper
ating the Luokv Dutchman lease onjthe
Sunshine property. These gentlemen
had been prospecting only a week when
they opened up a 20 inch atreak of solid
quarts on' the aurface. Soma samples
from the discovery yesterday were
brought to Lakeview and were inspect
ed by aeveral people. The smaller of
the two rocks brought up waa atudded I
with gold and in a large aample of about
fifty pounds weight, gold could be aeen.
The quartz is tree milling and aaid to
be the best quality ever taken from the
mountain.
An assay certificate of a general aam
ple of the rock made by W. S. Moore,
showed the new quarts to carry gold
values at $1480.33 to the ton, and a
small value in ailver.
The new discovery ia 1800 feet from
the original Sunshine mine. The new
atrike is said to have caused a great
lever of excitement thougbout the
district, and in aome cases we have
heard of bammera being traded tor
miner's picka and enthusiam bas caus
ed a great rush to the scene.
George Uoune was a local visitor tbe

LIVELfCONTEST
AT SUNDAY'S GAME
Local Boys Get Revenge In
a Score of Ten To Five
Against Alturas
The baae ball game in Lakeview
Sunday between tbe Lakeview and Al
turaa teama, drew one of tbe largest
crowds seen here for some time. Dele
gations of baae tall fans from Alturas,
Davis Creek, and especially those from
High Grade were very much in evi
dence and kept interest alive through
out tbe game.
During the first few Innings the game
was rather onesided, Lakeview having
made eight runs before Alturaa got a
score. After tbe third inning the visit
ing nine held down tbe local boys and
allowed them to make but two acorea
more, which gave them a total count
of 10. When Alturaa got limbered op
tbey succeeded in capturing 5 talliea
tn ' ;i. - or course some ertora were
made but tbe game in general waa re
plete with good playa and aome of tbe
boy a did exceedingly good work all the
time.

test. WHERE WILL YOU
SPEND JULY 4?"
All Neighboring: Towns To
Celebrate and Each
Should Be Visited
The National holiday ia rapidly ap
proaching and the question tegina to
riae : "Where and how are you going
to celebrate?" Owing to tbe meeting
of the Central Oregon Development
League at Lakeview, Lakeview deemed
it Hdvisole not to hold a Fourth of July
celebration thia year.
Paisley baa out postera advertising
three days of sport and recreation at
that place : New Pine Creek to our
south , is planning on a celebration
Klamath Falls baa prepared an inter-
eHting program for the occasion and Al
turaa in Modoc County will properly
observe the day. All of these celebra
tions, no doubt will afford an amuaing
time. Next August Lakeview is elated
to pull off one of the biggest events
ever held in Southern Oregon it will
be the widest attended. At thla occa
sion we expect every neighboring town
and community to be represented. Now
on the Fourth of Julv, Lakeview haa
an opportunity to aend visitors to the
varioua celebrations and to more ex
tensively herald tbe newa of our
gathering in August. It would not be
fair to turn out enmasae at any parti
cular place. Each town ahould be visit
ed by a atrong delegation from Lake
view. The Interior of the Court Iloueo rm

SURVEY WILL BE
MADEOF STATE
O.A.C. Member Will Make
Tour of Each County In
Oregon
Tbe first argieultural survey of the
State of Oregon waa begun in earnest
last week when nine men faculty
members, graduates, and upperclass-
men of tbe Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, left Corvallia to canvass the
counties of tbe state aa representatives
of the Oregon Statiatical Bureau and
eollect field notes from which the re
port will be compiled and published for
distribution.
The survey has for its object the se
curing of reliable data which will show
to which of the agricultural pursuits
the counties bave been peculiarly
adapted and, also to what extent tbe
possibilities have been developed and
may be expected to develop in the fu
ture under proper management.
Precaution will be taken to make the
information collected aa nearly ac
curate aa possible. To thia end tbe
field agents will collect nothing but
the plain truth regarding soil, crops,
transportation and labor conditions,
etc., uncolored by the enthusiastic
advertisers. Each county will
receive not leas tbsn 50 interviews nor
more than 100, in proportion to the
population. For comparative purpoaea
the interviews will be equally divided,
aa nearly as possible, between the
operators of large and email ranches.
All interviews will be made on the
farma and whenever possible the In
formation will be taken from actual
records.
H. A. Morgsnstern has been ac signed
