quartz reefs in the slate belt are Won
derfully rich in gold. In the beds and
bars of all the torrents, rivulets and riv-
ers in the country great quantities of gold
have been deposited by the erosion of
these reefs, and, as I have already writ
ten, the placer miner has been mining the
gold for forty years. But it was only
yesterday that quartz mining was begun.
The results so far are eminently satisfac-
tory. There is a veritable KIondike in
Eastern Oregon, where gold mining can
be carried on under happier conditions
than in any other region of the globe,
In Grant county, on the Western slopes
of the Blue mountains, is the Red Boy
gold mine. Some years ago Messrs Tabor
and Godfrey, two of Oregon's pioneers,
took it into their heads to try their luck
at gold mining, and they started opera
lions at a place sixty miles away from
railroad transportation. They began
grinding out gold with a miserable jim
crack mill, but the quartz was rich and
they made a little money. Then they
secured a better mill, and now they have
twenty stamps running night and day
Moreover, they have a cyanide plant
nearly completed for handling the tall
ings. The mill at the Red Boy mine is
one of the most perfect 1 have seen. Mill
and dynamos are all operated with water
power. and the water is brought from a
considerable distance IN covered fumes
Tabor and Godfrey derive princely in
comes from the Red Boy gold mine, and
several generations must pass before
these mines cease to pay golden tribute
PLENTY OF RICH ORE.
The ore body in the east vein of the
Rd Boy is fully twenty feet wide, and
svery pound of this Is mined and milled.
I saw the miners stopping out twenty-five

feet of ore In some places and I was not
surprised to learn that the owners re-
fused to sell the mine for s1,000,oo0. In
deed, am more than inclined to classify
the Red Boy among the richest mines
of the country. 1t has apparently i'm
mense ore bodies and an enormous pro-
ductive capacity, which is only limited
by milling facilities. The ore will aver
age about $12 ton, but it can be mined
and milled for less than 81, 80 that it af-
fords a big margin of profit
On Cracker creek. a tributary of the
Powder creek, is the North Pole group
of mines. Up to date there is only a ten
stamp mill at these mines, but there is
also cyanide plant, and the manager
told me he was increasing his mill and
cyanide plant to capacity of $50 tons a
day. This group of mines is owned by
Alexander Barring, of London, and I am
told that he is deriving a princely income
therefrom. The lowest workings of the
North Pole have vertical depth of 1000
feet, and in drift on this level an ore
chute is being mined that runs over 500
to the ton
The Columbia mine is three miles or so
eway from the North Pole and unques-
tionably on the same great lode. That
also has a ten-stamp mill, but in the CO.

and yields enormous profits. The North
Pole the e. & E., the Columbia, the Col
conda, the Bunker Hill and the Bonanza
are all groups apparently situated on the
same great mother lode of the country.
The Bunker Hill consists of three claims,
or $500 feet of this great vein. The Bun
ker Hill group is, I believe, owned by Mr..
Rufus Pope, of Montreal, and his associ-
ates. It is the most wonderful surface
showing I have ever seen. The lode cuts
through Mammoth mountain. and for
quarter of a mile immense quartz crop
pings to the height of thirty and forty
feet mark it's course. The Bunker Hill
mines can be worked by tunnels to a
depth of 1000 feet and in the creek below
is all the water that will ever be neces-
sary for power or milling purposes. The
Bunker Hill group of mines are of ex-
traordinary promise, yet, strange to say,
they have lain here neglected for years
through want of capital or enterprise on
the part of their old owners. They have
now fallen into the hands of men of en-
ergy enterprise and pluck and Oregon

ing mine
Were these Oregon gold fields located
in tho heart OF Africa amid the sandy
wastes Of Australia, or in the Wids of
Alaska, prOspectors and adventures
from all parts of the world would be has
tening to them. Pools and syndicates
would be formed in the financial centers
of Europe and America to exploit and
develop them. But being locate in one
of the most accessible and in one Of the
most favored regions OF the globe, their
fabulous resources are as yet known
only to the few. And yet we know of
no spot on earth where gold mining can
be carried on more economically than in
Eastern Oregon. There is a practically
unlimited supply of wood and water, of
power and fuel. And close to every min
ing camp are cattle and sheep ranges and
! fields Of grain and vegetables and or
chards and vineyards. 1 must not be I'M

The whole country from the Seven Dew

NEW BLOOD COMING IN.
Stagnation would continue to a great
extent were it not for the advent of a
new element Capt. c. H. Thompson, Of
Spokane, discovered this country two
years ago. Few men have wider or more
varied experience, and some lucky chance
led him to investigate Eastern Oregon's
gold mines He was surprised and
amazed at the resources and possibilities
of the country. In conjunction with some
Canadians he formed the Virtue Conso1i-
dated company. This company owns the

in Baker county, and the Cumberland in

rich gold mine, not far from the world
famous De la Mar, and the Canadians
who followed Capt. Thompsons lead into
Oregon's gold mines will reap a golden
harvest thereby. Further east is the
Cornucopia group of mines This group
was about being bought up by English
and Canadian parties, when John A
Finch, of Spokane, stepped in and bonded
the property for himself and his asso-
ciates for s75O00O. Mr. Finch and his as
sociates easily rank among the shrewd-
est and most conservative mining men
of the continent, and their advent to the
Eastern Oregon gold fields is the very
best guarantee of the great value of this
country.

name Of Mr.. Turn, the Crank In it
Mr.. OFT will have the part of an eccen-
trio individual, who is mistaken for
Mr.. Turn an escaped lunatic.
1t is not generally known that OFT
himself is the author of the farce he is
appearing in this season. Whatever
idea there is to it is not original with
him, he having discovered that in an old
German farce, but he supplied the
translation and put it together on mod
ern lines. He is not sure that he is
particularly proud of his work, although
he says it has proved one of the best
money makers he ever had. During his
New York engagement with the piece
Allan Dale, the New York critic, took
a sarcastic manner that he would like
to find the author, not knowing the
comedian had written the farce After
this, OFT never took the trouble to en-
tighten him.
OFT says that he would much prefer
to play legitimate comedy, but up to
this time the public has demanded songs
and dances. He is not certain that he

FOR MISS GOULD.
Sailors and Soldiers to the Numbe of
1000 Write Their Autographs.

New York, April 18.-Miss Helen
Gould has been presented with an al
bum of $50 pages, containing the auto
graphs of 1000 sailors and soldiers in
the regular and volunteer service of all
ranks, as a mark of appreciation of her
services during the recent war
On the first page are the names of
Maj. Gen. Shafter and Col. Roosevelt,
and throughout are written those of
other commanders prominent in the
Cuban campaign. The getting of sig
natures was begun on the battlefield OF
Santiago by James F. Fairman, hospi-
tai steward, Fifth army corps, United
States army, and the book was present
ed by him in person. In accepting the
album Miss Gould expressed her graft
tude and added that she had done no
more than any patriotic American wOm-
an would who had the opportunity.
