HE B00MS OREGON
w. S. Eberman Tells of Advantages
Of Baker City District as, a
-. - ~,
Mining Camp.
Fortunes Made in a Few Months by
Men Who Bought Properties
in That Region.

The uncommon advantages Of eastern
Oregon as a mining country were de-
scribed to-day by W. S. Ebernan or ST.
Paul who was for ten years state chemist
of Minnesota. Mr.. Ebernan accompanied
from Oregon the admirable collection OF
mineral specimens eXhio11sd at the G .sta.e
fair last week by Killen, Warner & Stew
art prominent mine owners and operators
Of the new district.
IT am now living at Sumpter, Ore.,'
said Mr.. Ebernnan. "ThiS is twenty miles
west of Baker City, which is the center
of our district. Our mines are in the Blue
mountains in eastern Oregon this side
of the Cascades.
"As in most gold mining regions the
development of our properties has gone
through three stages, those of placer, n.y.
draulic and of quartz mining.
From 1860 to 1890 no less than $780,,
0oO, 900 worth of gold was produced by
the placer mines Of eastern Oregon But
as all our gold had to be shipped to- Idaho
or California, those states and not Ore
gon received the credit Of the big pro-
duction. r.
"A number of the placers are still
worked by hydraulic machinery, and such
mines as the Olive Creek, the Pine Creek,
Stice's Gulch, the Downer Placers,. the
Buck Gulch placers, and the Sumpter
Power and Development placers are still
good dividend payers. E.. :?
! But it is in our quartz mining that
| the district has shown remarkable results.
| For instance, the, Bonanza mine, bought
| twelve years ago for $3.50, is now worth
| So. 900, 900; the Red Boy, that cost 81, 500
seven years ago, Is worth $4,00O.000; the
| Columbia, bought five years ago by e. w.
Backus and other Minneapolis men, for
! $50, 900, is now valued at $1,000, 600; the
| North Pole bought ten years ago for
| $40, 900, is worth $1o,00O,0 900, and has pro-
duced $1,000, 600 within the last eight
months. Then there's the Mammoth mine
valued at $4,000 five years ago, which is
worth at least s1,oO0,0o0 at the present
| time. '. < - = =,
| Besides our rich mines, we havesa mild
agreeable and wholesome climate, we have
unlimited water, and an abundance of the
| best pine timber Lumber sawed on the
spot sells at Sunpter for SO thousand
| Coal can be brought in cheap. We are
only few hundred miles by rail from
Portland The Sumpter Valley railways
takes us twenty miles east to Baker City
the Oregon railway and Naviga ton com
pany. We are free from all the usua
| hardships and dangers of a mining re.
| gion. -s~h j. D. -
Dozens Of splendid mines will yet be 10.
Gated and developed around Sunpter
We're putting in a big snelter. Our popu-
| lation will probably double within year
Among the prominent Minneapolitans
| interested in our mines are J. A. IiilIikel
of the Western Union Mining and De-
velopment company, Joseph S. Michaels
MIR. Voegel1 and DR.. Moulton."

BRICK IS SCARCE
City Engineer Subfette Is Growing Anx
ious In Regard to His Paw

ing Plans. :, u .-...
City Engineer Sublette is becoming
somewhat anxious about the: brick paving
he expected to lay this year: Consider
able work still remains to be done, but the
brick is not here. Worst Of all, the city
has no contract with penalty clause
which it can use to relieve, the situation.
For various reasons it was deemed. adj
visable this year to buy the brick in the
open market A satisfactory deal was
made as regards prices, but the orders ere
so numerous that it is impossible to fill
them on time.
& At present Mr.. : Sublette has brick
enough on hand with which to pave Tenth
avenue S from Washington to Third
street, but none for Cedar avenue and the
other streets which have been ordered
paved.
The work on University avenue south
east is nearing completion and a paving
crew was started last Saturday on Twen-
tieth avenue N which Is to be paved with
sandstone from Washington to Lyndale
avenues.
