MINING AT BAKER CITY.
Encouraging Developments and Plans for
Increased Milling Capacity.

Increased MINING Capncity.
Lou Beason. who returned Saturday
from Baker City. Ore. says that when
he left that section the probabilities
were that the La Bellevue mill, on the
property owned by Messrs. Keith and
Hamburger of this city. would be
started not later than tomorrow, the
goth. J. X. rergdson, the companys
foreman, is now ON the ground seeing
to 1t that no time is lost In opening up
an active campaign on the property.
Speaking of the general outlook in
that section, Mr.. Beason says there IL
not so much activity at Baker as some
people anticipated. True. considerable
work Is going on, but II does not meet
the expectations of the most sanguine.
The Bonanza company, says he, has
decided to increase its milling capacity
from twenty stamps to a hundred, the
work to be attended to right away.
This company, saya Mr.. Bedson, has
opened mp some magnificent ore bodies,
and a progressive seasons looked for.
The Belcher mine. for the possession
of which salt Lakers are now negotiate
ing, Is being developed quite vigorously
with good results, and 1t is the belief
of all who have examined 1t, that a
good mine will here be opened up. The
Don Juan, another good property. has
been closed down for some time. but
will resume In several days. with the
company's l0-stamp mill handling a
fair grade of gold ore.
While Baker is not as active as peo-
pie imagined 1t would be, Mr.. Beason
says the surrounding camps Of Crack
err, Bonanza and Robinsonvllle are fast
coming to the front, together with the
Cornucopia camp. situated a few miles
northeast of the city mentioned. II
things go all right, MT. Beason will be
found travelling thitherward again in
the course of a week or so.

Messrs. Carpenter and O'Brien are
up-to-date rustlera, and the kind OF
capitalists who do not go 10 sleep when

personally inspected the Claiborne. and
when they saw the yellow metal stud
ding the quartz, they closed a deal with
the former owners just as soon as they
could come to this city yesterday and
have the proper papers drawn up.
The Utah men are not only Of splen-
did business and executive ability, but
they are also abundantly able to rapid

skillful hands viii no doubt speak to
the world as being one of the richest of
the bonanzas In the Northwest
