important Mining Enterprise.

The Gold Hill placer mine is one of
the important enterprises of the Clear
water basin. The company owns an
almost inexhaustible supply of pay
gravel on American ri 'er near Elk
City. The ground is level and the
pay dirt is largely below water level.
The miners who used the primitive
methods Of the co.'s were baffied by the
conditions which prevailed in this
place as they were III many others
similarly located. This company have
adopted the hydraulic elevator, a
device not altogether new to the min
ing world, but an improvement on the
common machine used for the purpose
of elevating gravel.
The Gold Hill company places
large pipe into PIT in the bed rock
and insert a nozzle in the pipe with a
heavy water pressure The gravel is
driven into the pit; and the force Of
the water elevates gold, sand, gravel
and bouiders into the sluice thirty feet
above. This places in reach of the
miners much virgin ground that
could not be reached even by the per-
sistent Chinese miners. This company
has been signal,y successful. They we
extracted large value Of dust. 1t is
stated that under the most favorable
conditions the out-put of this plant in
one day was rs high rs two thousand
dollars.

Between 1857 and 1850 Capt. Will
lians visited the Nile, Constantinople.
Palestine and many other countries of
historical interest. In nearly all of
these countries he tecame identified
with their industries by directing en-
gineerng and architectural ENTERPRISE.
He introduced improved milling ma
chinery to many different peoples.
In 1850 he was at the Dalles and
started to Walla Walla and I.apwa,.
He accidentally fell and broke his leg
at the beginning of the journey. He
was treated by an army surgeon who
cal skill of the patient led him to ques-
ton the skill of the doctor. In due
time he called a fellow mech anic to
apply u practical test to the injured
member in the way of measurement.
The broken leg was an inch too short.
The sufferer sent for the surgeon and
instructed HIM to make the broken leg
as long rs the well one. The learned
man of science protested, but to no
purpose. The operation of lengthing
the wounded leg was directed by the
patient. He was placed in a harness
and pully was attached to his foot.
Force was applied by means of these
appliances until the limit of measure
was reached; and the sufferer never
win"hed under the strain till the homes
set in proper position.
Capt. Williams related many exper-
fences which illustrate the character of
the man. At one time he had been
following squad of Indians and To-
Gated them at night. An observation
revealed the fac. that the camp was
very strong, In their security they
slept soundly. The Captain crawIed
within their camp and stole their pow
der magazine and most Of their guns
and returned to his friends to await
results. At the break of day the white
men charged the Indians and in the
confusion over the loss Of their guns
and ammunition they were driven
into the river and nearly annihilated.
Again the Captain was ordered by the
officer of the day, John c. Kelsey, to
cross Rogue river on raft with his
men under deadly fire. This order
he refused to oney. Another company
went upon the raft and only five men
returned alive. They were shot down
by the Indians in ambush
Since 1868 the subject of this sketch
has been an active business man in
this city. He was ever scrupulously
exact in his dealing, always independ-
ent and upright. Though his preju!.
dices were strong he was a constant
friend to those who retained his conf
