STRUCK A HUGE LEDGE.
A TweIve-FOOt Vein Uncovered In
the White Swan Mine.

Baker City (Ore.) Democrat: New
interest has been awakened in the
White Swan mine by the uncovering
of a 12-foot vein of good ore in the 400
foot level.
Within the last few months this
property has, under the careful and
systematic management of Superin-
tendent J. NJ. Tigner and Foreman
Samuel Rowe, undergone active and
extensive development and it has
reached a point where it is now con-
sidered one of the bonanza properties
of the west-its permanency being es-
tablished beyond a doubt.
The company, composed principally
of Iowa capitalists, and George S. Tar
bell of this city, one of the heaviest
stockholders, are to be congratulated
upon their good fortune, and our citi-
zens cannot attach too much i'm
portance to the good that will accrue
to this section by reason of this strike.
1t simply means increased confidence
in the richness and permanency of the
many promising locations in that dis
trict and the much-needed capital with
which to carry on development will
rapidly find its way to this favored To-
cality.
The White Swan mill will be started
up the first of the week and we conf
IDENTIFY expect to see this mine take its
place alongside of our great gold pro-
ducerS.

Claims are being patented and consid-

week that Tom Kearns had purchased
an interest in one of the claims located
on the hill, which, if true, would lend
force to the claim that the WoOdSide

ground owned by Joseph Steele and
upon which he has done large amount
