J. A. McMurray, a Colorado mining
man. was in the city yesterday. He
recently made visit to the La sal
district, of which he formed very ia
vorable impression.
The La Sal Copper Mining company,
he states, owns twelve claims in the
camp. from which some heavy ship
ments of ORE have been made during
the past few months. over thirty men
have found employment at the mine,
and the ore was hauled overland TO
Placerville Colo. a distance of seventy
five miles, for shipment TO the smell
tiers.
Aside from the shipping ore, which
yields a good profit after expenses are
paid, there is a large amount OF low
grade milling ore at the mine, and fully
2 600 tons of it has been placed in the
ore bins. Tests of the second grade
ore have been made. showing the aver
age to be al out $35 to the ton.
There is some talk of putting IN
mill for this class of ore. A smelter
was purchased some time ego, ana the
building erected, but before the ma
chinery was installed it was dlscoVereu
through a series of thorough tests tnat
the ore could be treated to better ad-
vantage by the teaching process, so the
snelter project was abandoned.
The company owns fine water
power. carrying the water in pipes for
a distance of 1900 feet, with fall OF
about 100 feet. BY means of large
wheel sufficient force can be obtained
to give the necessary power to operate
all the machinery at the mine.
The company has another advantage
over many mining companies, Mr.. NC
Murray says, in the way OF a large
tract of agricultural lands upon which
vegetables are raised to supply the mine
boarding house Livestock and fowls
are raised there. too, so the employees
are treated TO a bill of fare ahead of
the average mining camp hotel.
Galloway Bro hers and others are
working promising group on the north
side of Paradox valley. The same for
nation that exists at the La Sa1' mine
is found there. Some very rich ore has
been taken ont of the workings, and
shipment made some time ago con-
tanned ore that ran as high as $160 to
the ton.
The Paradox Valley Gold & Copper
company has some good property, but
the development work done upon it is
limited.
Mr. McMurray expects to hear of
great deal of activity in the La Sails
next year, and may become interested
in the district himself.

Oregon Copper Deal.

Baker City Democracy
One of the largest deals ever made
among the copper mines of Union coun-
ty was contaminated in Union last
Wednesday, when the mines known as
the Union Copper property, owned by
Colonel L. A Lewis, Durham Wright
and William Meyers. were bonded to a
Mr.. Perkins, representing Portland cap
italists. While the consideration was
not made public, one of the parties said
it was nearly 100000. The bond was
in the form of a deed placed in escrow,
and the parties purchasing have the
option of making payment and taking
up the deed at any time. AS soon as
the deal was closed the purchasers let
a contract for lumber to be delivered
at the mines and announced that work
would at once begin on a large scale,
opening up the mine, and that as many
as could be used would be employed.
The mine is located near Medical
Springs, in Union county, about twenty
miles northeast OF Baker City, and con-
sists of an enormous body of rich cop
per ore. 1t is about seven miles north
of the Copper Queen mine, purchased a
few weeks ago by Spokane and New
York parties for $4,000.

Saturday a forty-ton car of ore was
loaded for shipment from this place.
The ore was from the Hartley mine at

from there, and the mine never looked
better, or had more ore in sight

concentrates from Paul Bros mill near
Ely. The freigh1ers report great activ-

AT Cape Nome.

Some of the strangest and most ro-
mantle stories in the history of modern
mining come from Cape Nome, in AL
aska. This icy Eldorado is situated
on Boring sea. about two hundred and
twenty-five miles north and west of the
mouth of the Yukon river and one hun
dred and thirty-five miles from ST.
Michaels.
1t is only about year since gold was
discovered there, and until within the
last three or four months the district
had continually lost in popularity. But
along in June or July it is said that
some stranded miners discovered gold
in the beach sands-in the strip be-
tween high water mark and low-and
almost Immediately a small army of
men were at work shoveling up the
golden sands.
The shore line that is covered with
water when the tide is up and bare
when it recedes, is not subject to indi-
vidual location under the mining laws,
and all that any man had to do was to
go to digging wherever he could find a

said to be from forty to sixty feet in
width and many miles in length.
Report has it that men left work for
which they We're receiving ten dollars
day to dig sand on the beach, If it be
true, as stated, that they frequently OBJ
tanned ten dollars worth of gold in
an hour. they were of course justified in
doing so. Statements are not lacking
of parties taking out from ten thousand
dollars a day TO a thousand dollars an
hour. all of which may be accepted for
what they are worth.
The reports of gold shipments from
Cape Nome do not bear out these
stories, and there are many elements
| of improbability in them. Conceding
| that some rich spots may have been
| found in the sands, it is clear that they
| must be worked out soon.
| But whatever the richness or extent
| Of the deposits, the mystery is where
| they came from-whether they were
washed up from the sea or down from
the higher ground by the action of the
waves at unusually high tides
| If there are any deposits rich enough
! and extensive enough to make a fuss
| about, they are probably near the
mouths of streams. and have been car
! ried down from the interior. 1t is not
