SPARTA MINING DEAL.
Capt. Clough Sells His Ditch and
Other PropertV

An important mining deal that has
been in process of contamination for a
year past has at last terminated in a
transfer by sale of all the mining inter-
ests of Captain Clough in the Sparta
mining district, says the Democrat, of
Baker City, Ore.
The properties transferred by Cap
tain Clough are the Eagle canal and
quartz and placer claims. The pur-
chaser is Mr.. T. W. Tallmadge, of New
York who has associated with him a
wealthy syndicate who intend carrying
on mining at Sparta on an extensive
scale.
The Sparta or Eagle canal is a ditch
about SO or more miles in length con-
structed in 1871 by Messrs. l. b. Bowen,
ST., deceased, and e. P. Cranston, to
supply water from Eagle creek for the
rich placer mines at Sparta and old
Gem town, then one of the most pro-
ductive gold districts in eastern Ore
gon. Later as the placerS began to be
worked out the canal passed into the
hands of Rufus Perkins, deceased, and
from him TO Captain Clough, who has
operated it for the past ten years with
varied success.
The machinery for one of the most
complete ten-stamp mills ever received
in Baker City arrived yesterday at the
O. r. & y. Co.'S depot direct from the
Risdon Iron works San Francisco, and
will be hauled at once to the scene of
operat ioas of the French Flagstaff Min
ing company. six miles northeast of
this city.
The buildings necessary to enclose the
plant are in readiness and the work of
putting the machinery in place will be
only of short moment.
In this connection ii may be said
that the shaft of the Flagstaff mine is
at this time at a depth of $50 feet.
which is equal to $50 feet vertical, and
at a level with Baker City. At this
depth moisture is apparent and it is
water will be struck in few
days.
vein of ore three feet wide between
walls was struck at this depth a day
or so ago Altogether the prospects of
this property are very encouraging.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-02-24

Mercur, Feb 23.-James Hagan has
commenced work on the Gold King.
The work at present will consist of
point where the shaft will be started
a hole II feet deep has been sunk and
values of $3.50 obtained. 1t is the in
tention to follow the vein down some
distance. On the property there is a
tunnel 100 feet long, in the end of
which ore has been found that yields
good values. The company will do
considerable exploring as soon as the
snow disappears.
Tim Moriarty holds some property
rear the mill which he thinks is all
right and he is justified in his opin-
ions by the f1attering assays he has
been receiving of late. In the High
Ore and Bessie of the Lea group he
has struck large bodies of ore that
give good assays and occasionally
finds something that carries high
values. The vein dips to the east in
that part of the district and although
but little work has been done the re-
suits have been gratifying.
The Bismarck still keeps plugging
away and the company is keeping still
about it, although ii is a well known
fact that it has good values in its
workings.
c. L. Dignowity is preparing for ac-
tive operations on the Moonshine, ana
as soon as the weather will permit
Schen will have men at work in the
May Queen. Mr.. Scheu says he will
find out either that the property is
valueless or that it is worth some
thing, as he intends to thoroughly ex-
plore the ground. His operations on
the west dip naturally lead to the con-
to be found in that locality.
The Northern Light has completed
its coal shed at the depot and the last
car load of machinery has been safely
transported to its destination
The Italians who are working on
claims out in the valley have struck
water in such quantities that they will
be compelled to put in pump before
proceeding with their work.

r. r. Tanner of Beaver county, who
is in the city on business, informs The
Herald that there is a growing inter
est at the present time in the North
Star district, not far from Milford,
where, in the early days, more than
one fortune was made in mining oper-
atoms.
1t was in the Star that Hays Cook
of Milford made an important gold dis
covery few months ago, and now it
is stated by MIR. Tanner that a rich
strike has Just been made in the Eu-
gene mine in North STAR the property
of Buchanan & Forgie. The Eugene is
believed 10 be an extension of the Hid
den Treasure ledge, and the discovery
consists of a solid body of ore Ii
inches wide which, it is estimated, win
carry values of So per cent lead and 80
ounces in silver TO the ton.
1t is the intention of the owners of
this valuable property to develop the
same in a thorough manner, and it is
more than likely that the Eugene win
figure on the shipping list during the
coming summer.
The Conner lode, in the same dis
trict, is also showing up in a most
satisfactory manner, and it is the opin-
ion of those who are acquainted with
this property that it is the making
of a rich producer.
The Conner is an extension of the
Old Hickory mine, which made such a
fine record years ago, and in the de-
velopment of this ground the showing
is all that could be desired, as the
orlxings have disclosed two feet of
gypsum besides large bodies of burnt
lime that is heavily mineralized.
This property is owned by Mr.. Tan
ner and Mr.. Forgie. and these gentle
men propose TO develop it in a miner
like fashion.
