SHEARING BY MACHINERY
n. H. COttrOll of Pilot Rock, Oregon.
lnstalls His Shearing Machine
Near Cambridge.

Citizen
If anyone imagines that this is
not an age of invention and progress
sion they should visit the Van Sick
lin shearlng pen, where N. H. Cottrell
has his large sheep shearing machine
in operation and is removing the
winter coat from the sheep at rate
of B! sheep per minute. The first
impression one receives on seeing
the machine is that whosesale
dentistry has turned itself loose on Il
band of sheep. Each pair Of shears
is connected with line shaft and is
operated on the same principle as the
dentists lathe which operates the
drill. Attached to each tube is a
pair of clippers which work on the
same principle as the BARRIERS clipp-
ers, but are stronger built and have
| longer teeth. Two line shafts operat-
ed by a 12-horse power gasoline en-
CINE, run the full length of the build
ing, and attached to each of these
shafts in ten machines which may be
thrown in or out Of gear at the option
Of the operator. A separate pen is
built opposite each machine and Is
kept filed with sheep The operator
has only to reach behind him, grab a
sheep by the hind leg and pull him
in. where the coat which nature furn-
ished him as a winter protection is
quickly removed and he is again
turned out with no protection except
the tariff.
The proprietor, Mr.. Cottrell, in
formed us that he was shearing an
average of 1900 day, but that with
good weather and all experienced
men, he could easily turn out 1000
This does not exceed in numbers the
amount of work done by 20 hand
shearers, but there is an average
saving in wool of one and one hall
pounds per head At 8 cents pei
pound this saving will pay for the
shearing. Mr.. VanSicklin had one
sheep sheared by hand in the ordi
nary manner and then re-sheared b,
the machine The result was say
ing of 2 pounds and ounces o
wool
Mr.. Cottrell has contracted +
shear 40, 900 head this spring at /
cents per head. The wool is sacke
by him, the owner furnishing tn
sacks OF the 40, 600 contracted, 6
: least one third belong to VanSicklir

berof years, merely doing the nee
essary assessments, but now that
there will be chance to dispose of
our ores we will push proper develop
ment and mining"
The company's holdings are just
beyond the Peacock mines, and are
named the Dark Horse and Extension
and Right Bower Nos. l, and 3.
On the Dark Horse the principle
work has been done, being 40 foot
shaft in excellent ore. At the bot
tom of the shaft they find red oxide
of copper in quantity, the ledge fill
ing the floor. Considerable water
has been encountered. They pro-
pose driving tunnel from the creek
and thus get in below the shaft, do
ing away with water troubles. This
tunnel can be run in ore all the way,
and it is rich enough for shipment as
it comes out.
The other properties are to be de-
veloped with all haste. The railroad
the Pacific & Idaho Northern
will run within a quarter of mile of
the properties, thus giving them
every facility for economical handl-
ing. Their ground is heavily timber
ed, this being of the best class foi
mining operations, and doing away
with the necessity for great expense
in lumber Mr.. Bower states his
belief that the development to be in
anaugurated early in June and con.
tinued with no cessation will result
in the opening of several good mines
