We had our attention called to
the condition of the books and files
kept as county records in the vault
at the court house the first of the
week, and we regret to say that
they are in terrible condition, by
reason of the dampness of the vault
since the new addition was built.
1t was not permitted to become
sufficiently dry before the books
were stored therein, and as a result
the books, particularly the binding
on some of them have already be-
come badly damaged. The county
clerk called the attention of the
county court to the matter some
time ago by serving them with
notice that the books were becoming
damaged, but nothing was done to
remedy it. The books in the vault
are very valuable, having already
cost the county several thousand
dollars, and it is too bad to see them
go to ruin. Some of the books are
so mouldy and wet that the binding
is beginning to give way on them.
Steps should be taken by the court
at once to protect these valuable
records.

IS THERE GOLD FIELDS AT HOMEp
The Question Seems to Be Answered
In the Affirmative.

coast range of mountains? These
questions have been either answered
in the negative or considered mat
tiers of doubt heretofore. There
has always been a diversity of
opinion as to whether or not there
were any true fssure veins, or gold
bearing veins of quartz in Lincoln
county. Some experienced miners
asserts that there are such bodies
of ore to be found, while others as
freely assert that there are not.
The formation of Line oln county is
peculiar. Ii is irregular and COM
posite. nsome parts ofthe county,
notably near the coast, it appears
to be formed by a slide or an up.
heaval; or in some places by vege-
table deposit; in other parts of the
country it is basaltic, and appears
to have been of volcanic formation;
while running through the county
in an irregular direction bearing
principally north and south, is a
we'll defined granite bet. This
granite crops out at various places,
notably on Rock creek, where there
is whole mountain of ii. This
granite belt practically marks the
water shed between the Willamette
valley and the streams that flow
down to the coast. In the streams
that flow from this granite belt, it
is possible 10 find "colors" on
almost any gravel bar, and this has
led mauy people TO the belief tl:at
gold bearing quartz eXistel in the
Coast range at some place.
About four or five years ago
VIM. Dutton, who has a homestead
OH Little Elk river, near the sunl-
nit of the mountains, discovered
ON his farm what he believed was a
ledge Of quartz. He was uneX-
perienceI in mining knowledge,
but he got out several samples Of
this rock and sem it to Mr.. Paul
Baumel, all assayer at Portland.
Altogether Mr.. Dutton had six
assays made from rock taken out
at various places on the ledge.
These assays ranged as follows:
$39.a7, $19,63, $4.13, $2.4S, $1.27
and $1.24 per ton. The samples
from which the assays were made
were taken from various places on
the le3ge for quarter of IN lie.
The high assay of $3o.27 per ton
was had from rock taken from a
tunnel that Mr.. Dutton ran into
the ledge about forty feet from the
surface. The $I9.63 was taken
from another tunnel some six or
eight feet from the surface. The
other assays were taken from SUR
face rock. The value of the gold
obtaiued was $2o.67 per ounce,
being from $4 to Sc higher in value
than Klondike gold.
After prospecting along the ledge
in a hit and miss style for year or
two Mr.. Dutton got discouraged,
and practically stopped work OIL the
gold mine and began to prospect
for coal and fire clay at other points
on his land. With his limited
means and knowledge of mining ne
could not interest anyone in his
prospect and he allowed his work
to lapse A slide covered the
mouth of his largest tunnel, and
Mr.. Dutton became we'll nigh dis
couraged. In some way or other
w. P. Ready, the well known
mining man. heard of Mr.. Dutton's
prospect, and while in Toledo last
summer he asked Messrs. Jones
and Crosno to get some of the bes
,Lay could and forward il
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1897-09-16


to look the prospect over. After a
careful examination of the ledge,
and surroundings, Mr.. Buford be-
came greatly impressed with the
prospect, and Mr.. Jones bonded the
mine from Mr.. Dutton. Samples
OF the ore were brought down and
submitted 10 c. L. Gowell, of this
place, who for several years made
a study and profession of mining
and locating in Colorado. Mr..
GoWell took a mortar, pestle and
gold pan and made test of some
of the ore, and he became more
enthusiastic than Mr.. Butord. He,
in company with Mr.. Jones made
another trip 10 the Little Elk
country and spent two days pros
pecting and investigating. AS a
result, both Of ttem have located
mining claims on land adjoining
Mr.. Dutton's land. They have
gone farther than that, and have
formed a partnership to thoroughly
work and test the ledge. A force
of men will be put to work under
Mr.. Buford, and the ledge will be
cut and the dirt washed down to
the concentrates. A ton of these
will be shipped to the smelter at
San Francisco aud this will definite
ly determine the value of the ore.
A little furry has been caused
by recent developments ofthis pros
pect. OF course there are doub;ers,
and al present they are greatly i'll
the majority. In the first place it
is outside of a known mining dis
trict. But so was Klondike. They
say, also that the formation is not
right for gold, but it must be
remembered now that gold is
where YOU fud it," and that, as we
have stated above, the formation is
not different from that of other
gold bearing countries. Some OF
the richest strikes in Klondike
have been made at the bottom Of q
ten foot bog, or marsh, something
unheard of before.
The assays prove beyond a
doubt that gold is there. Ofcourse
there is wide difference i'll these
assays, but it must be remembered
that the samples were taken hap
hazard by man that was totally
unlearned in prospecting and min
ing. The highest test came from
rock inside the ledge, while the
lowest was all outside cropping
that had been rain washed fol
years. In addition to the six
assays of Mr.. Dutton's two assays
were had from samples of ore sent
10 the same assayer, Paul Baumel
by Mr.. Jones. One of these ASSAYS
showed $I2 per ton and the Other
showed $2 .o6 Both samples were
surface samples and were taken
from different parts of the ledge
The average of eight assays
made show free gold to the value
of S1o.27 per ton, The ore is de-
composed quartz, and can be easily
worked by a stamp mill. 1t Is
generally acknowledged that if the
ore will average from 81 to Sc pei
ton that it is paying rock. The
ledge is exposed, and is easily ac'
cessible. Plenty of water can be
/ had 10 work it.
These are the prospects for gold
on the Little Elk 50 far. If it was
in a known mining district there is
no question but what enough has
been shown to induce men with
capital to quickly ascertain the
value of the prospect. The editor
freely acknowledges that he knows
nothing OF mining, but he does

The big crop liar must have
broken loose in Eastern Oregon.
An item in last Fridays Oregonian
states that the whole wheat crop of
Grant county amounts to 1000, 900
bushels this year, and that Grant
county only polled $50 votes last
election. According to the last
census Grant county only had a lit
tie less than 10000 acres all told i'll
cultivation. Since then the vote
has decreased from 1867 to $50
votes. If every acfe of cultivated
land III the county had been sown
to wheat it would have required a
yield of about 70 bushels per acre
to come up to the big figures given.

One Of the gravest menaces to
the perpetuity of our government
today, is the lately born idea of
government by injunction 1t is
directly opposed to every idea of a
government by the people. 1t
makes a refuge and a shelter for
every illegal, ill-gotten trust that
dare not come before the people
honestly and openly, and finally it
leads to anarchy and despotisn.
The idea of federal injunctions
sprang up in the great railroad
strike of 1898, and was first used to
protect interstate commerce. At
that time it was generally admitted
that it was not good law and only
to be used in extreme cases. Since
That time, however, the trusts and
ca3orations have discovered how
extremely useful it is and resort to
it on every opportunity. From be-
ing an instrument of protection it
has quickly passed into an instru-
ment Of persecution. The latest
and most outrageous abuse of this
government by injunction is in the
strikes in the coal regions. Here
government injunction was resorted
to to prevent men from marching on
the public highways and streets to
express their sympathy with the
striking miners, or to attempt to
pursuade other miners to join the
strike. A large force of deputy
sheriffs were appointed to enforce
the injunction. The inevitable re-
suit followed. There was conflict
between the sheriffs and the crowd
and the deputies fired into the body
of defenceless men and women.
The horrible result was twenty or
thirty killed and large number
wounded. This is appalling, but it
is probable that i'll the butchery of
these helpless men and women, the
death knell of the unAmerican, un-
republican, idea of injunction is
ended. Let czars and absolute
monarchs rule their people by such
methods, but let it have NO abiding
place in free republic.
