The Burke County news., 1900-02-02
To a Point of Personal Privilege.

To the Editor of The News:
do not ask this space to defend my
position or to yentilate the doctrine that
l hold, it is only to set myself right
before the people Of Burke county.
The Raleigh News and Observer
reporter stated that the delegate from
Burke at the meeting of the Populist
State Executive Committee (and I was
the only representative from Burke)
said in a speech to the committee that
the opposition to the amendment al
ready had their arms and ammunition
for the fray.
In the first place, l believe the peo-
pie OF Burke county know me two we'll
t. believe that l would give vent to any
such utteranCe. In the second place
anyone familiar with the people of
Burke county knows that no such
necessity exists for arms and ammu-
milton. | have been d citizen and voter
in Burke county for over thirty years
and at all elections during this period
every male citizen u years Of age who
was Untitled under the laws of the
United States and Of the State to vote,
has been allowed to go to the ballot
box and vote his honest sentiments, and
his vote has, Invariably, been counted
as cast. And I believe l am voicing
the sentiment of all the citizens of this
county when I say it is their desire
that every man, after hearing a free
and full discussion of all the issues
and then deciding each for himself as
to what he thinks best, go to the bal
lot box, quietly and without undue
influence, and cast his ballot for the
men and measures OF his choice, and
then have that ballot counted as cast.
Far be the day when any other condi-
tion will exist in Burke county or any
other comfy in the State.
I will just say in conclusion and it is
rather unnecessary what the
reporter gave as a quotation from my
remarks at the committee meeting was
a faisenood out of the whole cloth.
Such methods Of conducting a cam
paign are calculated to make one tired.
Respectfully,
r. a. COBB.

let the cheese accumulate on the farm,
taking these products to the market
only once or twice year. Not only
were there as many different lots and
kinds of butter and cheese as there
were producing farms, but the product
of single farm varied in character and
quality according to season and other
circumstances. Every package had to
be examined, graded and sold upon its
merits 1t was usual for half the but
ter in market to be strong, If not actu-
ally rancid, and for cheese to be sharp.
With the products largely low in grade,
prices also were low.
AS rule, except in the pasture sea-
son, the cows were fed insufiiciently
and unprofitably and housed poorly, if
at all. 1t was a common thing for cows
to die in winter of starvation and ex-
posure, and it was considered no dis
grace to farmers to have their cattle

making of the butter and cheese were
In the hands Of the women of the
household, and the methods and the
utensils used were crude. The average
quality of the products was inferior,
and the supply of the domestic markets
was unorganized and irregular.
In the Eastern and Middle States the
milk was usually set in small. shallow
earthen vessels or tin pans for the
cream to rise. Little attention was paid
to cooling the air in which it stood In
summer Or to moderating 1t in winter
SO long as freezing was prevented. The
few who scalded milk had no idea of
the true reason for so doing or why
beneficial effects resulted. The pans of
milk oftener stood in pantries and eel

MINES AND MINING.
Men with New Ideas Needed to Pros
pect Eastern oregon Min
eral Fields.

James Duckworth, one OF the original
locaters Of the Il. and 4. mine, in
Cracker creek district, near Sumpter.
Oregon, and one OF the best informed
men in the camp, says that what this
country needs is thorough prospecting
by men with new ideas. The old
timers always look for certain kind
of float, and are particular about the
formation. Now hardly week passes
without some find being made ON hill
sides that have been run over for years
by the old timers and pronounced
worthless.
Mr.. Duckworth visited property at
the foot OF the mountain on the Sump-
ter-Granite wagon road, and found Ben
Yeager and his partner, Montana min.
ing men, working on 200.foot ledge
that he has been over many times and
considered worthless. Development
shows that the ledge is filled with
strata of quartz Of blush appearance,
and all of it pans gold. A number Of
assays have been made, giving $3 to
Sl3. The ledge can be traced for over
two miles, from one side OF the noun.
tain to the other, and it prospects
throughout. At present 25.foot shaft
is being sunk, from which cross cut
will be run to determine II the values
go down. If favorable results shall
be obtained, machinery will be secured
and shaft sunk 800 to 400 feet.
There is such large body Of ore that,
with present values, $3 to $4 per ton,
the property is another Treadwell.
Facilities for mining and milling are
excellent. At the head Of Bull Run
creek, running alongside of this ledge,
in early days there was placer mining.
There was little wash gravel in the
creek bed, and the diggings frequently
dipped to the hillside, where no gravel
was found, but rich dirt. At that
time it was wondered where the gold
came from, and no one ever thought
the big dixie was guilty, but this recent
discovery is almost proof positive that
the placer gold came from the dixie.

A GREAT INDUSTRY.
ENORMOUS BUSINESS DAIRYiNG
HAS COME TO BE.
Seventeen Million Cows Giving Milk
in the United states-Aggregate VAL
ue of Their Produce Exceeds $780,
100000 Year-This Country Leads.

Comparatively few persons realize
what an enormous business dairying
has come to be In the United States. In
this industry, as In so many others, this
country beats. the world. There are
over seventeen million cows giving milk
In the United States, and 1t takes an
army Of over three hundred thousand
men working from ten to twelve hours
a day to milk them. The aggregate
value of the produce of these dairy
cows exceeds $500,000,000 year. They
produce nearly billion and half
pounds Of butter, three hundred thou
sand pounds of cheese and over two
billion gallons of milk yearly, for the
Yankee COW is good COW, an lndustri-
Gus COW, and works all the year round.
Dairying In other countries sinks into
msigniticance when compared with the
industry In the United States. So fond
are the Americans of dairy products
that 1t takes from twenty-three to
twenty-seyen cows to each hundred CT
the population to keep the country sup
piled with milk, butter and cheese and
provide for the export trade. The ex-
port trade does not amount to much.
1t has fluctuated much, but never rose
beyond the produce Of five hundred
thousand cows. Nearly all the great
output of the dairies Is consumed at
home. We are the greatest butter-eat-
nn0nlQ N hn
yearly consumption being at the rate
Of twenty pounds to the person, or
about one hundred pounds annually for
family of average size. As cheese
eaters, however, we do not shine. The
average consumption of cheese In this
country does not exceed three and
half pounds per capita year, which
Is far below the European average. AS
milk drinkers we average twenty eal-
Ions apiece yearly. Although we are
not great cheese eaters ourselves we
send about fifty million pounds year
to the peoples of the earth, who are
fond Of that form of food.
In Early Days.
All this great dairy industry of the
United States has been built up In the
last fifty years. Before that time the
milch cows of the country were of the
mixed and indescribable race known as
native" 1t was the ''old red COW" of
our boyhood, specimens of which occa-
sionally are seen in out-of the-way
parts Of the country living in the "old
red barn" The keeping of cows on an
American farm was incidental to the
general work. In the fall and early
winter the cow was allowed to go dry.
Winter dairying was practically un-
known. The care of the milk and the

The population of Italy is 100000

Italy has more theaters than France
and twice as many as England. though
the population of the United Kingdom

italy' There are approximately LOCO
places OF amusement in the United
states. In Italy there are 44S, in France

OF the large number of theaters in Italy

lars or on kitchen shelves than in rooms
specially constructed or adapted to the
purpose, In Southern Pennsylvania
and the States further south spring
houses were in vogue. Milk received
care, and setting 1t in earthen crooks
or pots, standing In cool, flowing water,
was a usual and excellent practice.
Churning the entire milk was common.
This is stu done to some extent in the
southern States, where butter is made
every morning, and where all the milk
is buttermilk. In seasons of scarcity of
milk there was no butter. In the North
ern States there were some instances
where families were supplied with but
ter weekly during most of the year. and
with an occasional cheese, directly from
the producers. But the general farm
practice was to pack" the butter in

A MOUNTAIN OF QUARTZ.
Remarkable Formation in the Blue
River District.

Remarkable Formation in the Blue
River District.
ie Blue river, Oregon, district is
rapidly forging to the front, and is
now enjoying an era of activity but
little dreamed of year or two ago.
Extensive development work is being
done, aand lmost without exception
claims are proving valuable. The sta
billty of the district has been conclu.
sively proved, and as a result prospec-
tors have flocked in here this spring by
the hundreds. Mining capital has
been attracted, and one mill is in sue.
cessful' operation and several more are
in course OF construction. New discov-
cries are being made in almost every
direction; most notable among which
are the discoveries on the Calapooia
and Mckenzie rivers, which show ex-
tremely rich ore, and the immense
mountain Of quartz four miles up Blue
river. This mountain of quartz is a
remarkable formation, and is probably
unparalleled in mining discoveries.
The mountain is 1870 feet high, and
appears to be nearly all quartz. At
the top several cliffs OF solid quartz
project for a hundred feet or more
above the surface, while veins of ore
crop out in all directions. The ore as
says from $3.50 to $l2 per ton.
The Lucky Boy mine has been COM
PEELED to shut down five stamps, owing
to shortage OF water, since the dry
season set in. The remaining five
stamps are kept going day and night.
The company has the machinery for
sawmill on the ground, and, as soon as
it can be set up, lumber will be sawed
and fiume constructed which will
furnish plenty of water for operating
all of the stamps.
Jones 81 Co. have the foundation laid
for sawmill at the Blue river bridge,
ana already have a number of logs
ready to saw. The machinery for the
mill is expected to arrive in a short
time. The mill will be situated at the
new Blue River city townsite, and is
intended to supply the local market.
1t will be operated by steam power,
and will have capacity oil 10000 feet
per day.
