The Dal!es Times says: Mr.. R. w. Crar-
tiall, who has been absent from the city for
several weeks returned last Friday evening.
We called on him du ~ns the week, and
learn that during his absence he has been
proftably employing his time prospecting
some ledges which he discovered some time
ago. They are situated in the Eagle Creek
mountains, in Union anl Baker counties,
and ah ut :5 miles east of Union. The
silver ledge. St. Elmo. runs from $l2 to 5000
to the ton in gold and silver: the gold, the
Badger. will ''mi'l" from Sc to sSl to the
ton. Assays of these have been male in
Baker City, Portland, San Francisco and
cni.sn. Tasss a., wal l,fnel lodges

BILE in quantity The Badger is very close
to the snrfaca and can b, distinctly traced
for a long distance. The st. Elmo Just out
above the surface, and can be readily seen
cropping out for a distance of 5000 feet.
Mr.. Crandall has shipped some of the ore
from the Bad rer to Chicago at the request
of parties there, and he expects company
will be formed in that city to construct
mills AMI work the lie lges. There is every
facility for milling. as the country abounds
in timber and water There are already
about twelve CLAIMS located in this locality.
and he expects next spring to see ''grsnd
rush' to the Granite Creek quartz mines
Mr.. Craniall believes that this region
js as rich in minerals as Wood River is He
says about twenty miss dist mt from these
quartz ledges. across Snake river, in Idaho,
is a belt tf country rich i'll galena, copper
and iron, and the former metals have mixed
with them large quantities of gold and
silver. The iron is contained in solid
mountain all of which will assay about so
psr cent. of that metal. This country is
situated directly on the proposed line of
railroad down Snake river. which. if built
will furnish a means of shipment for these
valuable ores. The only thing lacking to
make these mines rich III the precious met
ais is capital, and that will soon be forth
coming.
