TEN THOUSAND IN GOLD.
From Placer Diggings Near Baker
City, Oregon.

City, Oregon.
Baker City Democrat: Talk about
Klondike! If anyone doubted the ex-
istence of gold fields at home the equal
of Alaska, visit to the First National
bank in this city would convince the
most Skeptical.
On the counters of this bank yester-
day was displayed nearly 700 ounces of
gold-550 from the Sloan & Haskell
placer mines at Susanville and rs
ounces from the Bull of the Woods
quartz claim, the individual property of
Mr.. Sloan. The value of this number of
ounces is over $4,000, and that from
the placerS represents only a partial
cleanup as there still remains on bed
rock much more gold that will be taken
up when the seasons operations close.
There were nuggets in size from a
small marble to a hens egg and rang
ing in value from 50 to S1G5, the largest
in the copper tray that held the lot.
They were in all sorts Of shapes and
containing very little quartz. The whole
lot made display that if exhibited at
the Omaha exposition or Portland in
dustrial exposition would cause the
greatest admiration, and maybe their
exhibit at the latter place may take
place. Mr.. Sloan has been asked to al
low his treasure to thus be publicly
shown and he is considering the mat
ter.
Mr. Horace Sloan, who brought in
this large amount of gold from the
mountain Businesses of Grant county
single-handed and without fear of be-
ing held up was interviewed by a
Democrat representative, and it was
learned from him that he and his part
ner, Mr.. n. c. Haskell, have just ne
gotiated the sale of their placer mines,
known as the Elk creek diggings, for a
consideration Of $4,000, reserving the
ownership Of a strip of ground known
as the Slide which they will work in
future. The purchasers are A. 2. Ben
nison and associates of San Francisco,
under the name of the Badger Mining
company.
Mr.. Sloan has also sold his own prop
erty known as the Bull of the Woods
group Of ten quartz claims to the same
company for consideration of $50, OOO
The Bull of the Woods mine is
equipped with an eight-stamp mill. A
recent run of &c days netted 5000 above
all expenses, the concentrates running
as high as 5000.

Mr.. Cavanah had been to the Bar in COM

Albion Qda.) Times: There is some talk
of starting a long croSs-cut tunnel that
will cut all the properties on Comora hill
Ii all the owners on the hill would assist
in such a scheme il would prove a last
ing benefit, as all the properties could
then be worked from this one tunnel, and
ii would also show if the present fine
showing on the surface holds out. All
that these mines need to bring them to
the front is depth, and this the present
owners can not get without machinery,
and they are unable to put in the eX-
pensive plants necessary.
Phoebe Messenger: Stateline is about to
start up again. There has been $S5. 600
raised but it will take the most of this
to settle the bond on the Creole, Ophir
and Gold Belt calins. However, this
does not matter, for if the claims are set
tied for, parties owning them will not let
the mines be idle. Good management,
larger mill and the cyanide process is
bound to bring that new and undeveloped
mining section to the fore, and the gold
produced will surprise many. Like most
new mining sections. Stateline has had
to pass through the ordeal that others
have, and from now hence that place will
begin Frightening up and prosper.

Sensation.

Fred Keller has just returned from a
visit to the Biesenger-B Beck mine, in
Barton gulch, Madison county, Mon
tana. The property is owned by Salt
Lakers, and they have reason to feel
highly encouraged over the showing
made. While the property has not
been worked on an extensive scale,
there is now Go tons of sorted ore on
the dump. OF this the frst-class as
says 81 ounces silver, the second So
ounces silver, the third 46 ounces silver,
all running about % per cent lead and
$1.50 per ton in gold.
The ore has been taken out of two
drifts about 100 feet apart, the veins
varying from two and half to three
feet wide and some 100 feet from the
surface.
The company will makefa, shipment
OF first-class ore in about three weeks,
probably to Butte, as there would be
saving of 81 ton in freight by so do
ing.
The first shipment made last year OF
first-class ore showed 97.45 ounces silver
and 4 per cent lead, while the second
shipment showed 60.6O ounces silver and
8 per cent lead.
The tunnel is now in about $50 feet,
and the shaft is down 40 feet. The
main tunnel is being extended, and it
is expected that the main lead will
soon he struck.
Mr.. Keller reports that there is plenty
of gold wash in Barton gulch, and con-
siderable placer mining is being done.
1t is on a small scale, however, and
with machinery, enabling the opera
tons to be conducted on a big scale,
good deal Of money could undoubtedly
be made. 1t is just opposite Alder
gulch, from which millions have been
taken.
AS to the excitement a short time ago
some Is miles east of Virginia City, Mr..
Keller was informed that it was started
by a man named Fine, who did some
sailing" in order TO create a SIAM
pede. He succeeded, but the fake was
quickly discovered.
