Haul Ore from the Badger to Susanv;lle.


It was ascertained Thursday that It Is
more than probable that the Badger Gold
Mining company, whose property is about
three and half miles from Susanville, on
Elk creek, will this summer haul their ore
from the mine to Pendleton and then ship
to San Francisco, instead Of hauling to
Baker City. Last year this company had
thirty.three teams engaged in hauling ore
to the latter place. 1t is understood that
arrangements are about completed with
the First National bank of this city to
to take care of their interests at this point.
The only drawbacks to Pendleton In the
past have been the condition of the road
and the need Of bridge across the middle
fork of the John Day river. The bridge
across the river was put IN last winter
and Granite has undertaken to put the
road In condition. Thus 1t seems that
nothing now remains to prevent the ore
coming this way. Charles J. Baker, Of
Pendleton, expects to enter into contract
with the company to put on four or five
six.horse teams to do portion Of this
hauling. .-Pendleton Tribune.

REVIVAL IN THE JOHN DAY.
Quart. Mining Supereeeding Famous Old
Placer DigRings.

The snow is rapidly disappearing from
the mountains and the foothills are almost
alive with prospectors. Attention has
been generally turned from the placer dig.
gings to the quartz ledges, s,and the search.
ers are aiming for the bodies OF gold ore
that have been found to be characteristic
Of the belt. This John Day valley Is an
interesting country, and many a romance
and tragedy Is recorded In its history.
The discovery Of rich p!acers brought an
adventurous and hardy people to Its fields
In the early Cos. Then little or no atten.
ton was paid to the quartz deposits, the
creeks being easy to work and yielding
rich returns. Now, however, with the
aid Of modern machinery, lodges are de.
sired and searched for.
As result Of the new life that has
come into the district, Prairie City, the
sleepy little hamlet Of Yesterday, is today
a bustling town with all the modern spirit
but the old habiliments. Building has,
however, already started, and there Is a
general revival. New businesses are be.
ing opened and there Is room for more and
need for many things, including sawmills,
shingle mills aud factories. The resources
OF the valley are not confined to mining,
rs there are timber, grain, grazing and
fruit lands.
The John Day valley Is six or seven
miles wide and fifteen miles long. On the
south side Of the river are the Strawberry
mountains and on the north the Dixie
Butte and another range. The whole
country seems rich IN copper, gold and
silver, and all the land OF the valley is
fertile.
To illustrate the immensity Of the de.
posits, the Oregon Wonder, may be men.
toned. The ledge Is over 1900 feet wide
and has been traced for many miles. The
rock is soft, and therefore easily mined.
Narrow stringers arefreauently found that
are OF great richness, and experience has
shown that they gain width with depth.
From the Greenhorn mountains south |
through the Strawberry mountains Is a
belt 50 miles wide and $50 miles long,
muth OF whieh has never been prospected.
Il Is therefore practically virgin field,
and yet every indication points to its be.
Ing a highly mineralized belt. This will
probably be one Of the several new sec.
lions that will be explored this season.

not all, of the other States the. company
has been successful.

successful
The !Woman's Department. however,
has decided to hold together as an organ

dustrfes OF Southern women and find a
market for their work. Mrs. Roger A.

herself with the respective skill of the
Southern needlewomen. but in selling the
laces and cmbroideries they have en-
trusted to her. She has held one draw
ing-room sale in her own house, and an.
other is announced for March. I'D. Mrs.
Pryor, in the hundreds of letters she
has written to the South, has warmly ex-
pressed her admiration for the needle
work. and her determination to find a
market for it in New York. To this great
market the women of Russia, Germany,

send their laces and embroideries. Very
few are sent from the South, while Mrs.

Ching Ling Foo is q chinarnan OF high
