what way are Chamberlain Stomach

will have to be extended another twenty
five feet before it penetrates the vein.
A shaft has been sunk thirty feet in
ledge matter which will be connected
with the tunnel when it reaches the
lead.
On account Of the altitude OF the hill
through which this vein trends, this
tunnel will only prove the lead to a
depth of about fifty feet. This vein il

carries from IS to g per ton in perfectly

Besides this lode, there il another

feet in width and averages $l5 per ton

ed. On the dumps there are ut least 100

As stated in THE MINER last week
the sensational bubble on ore stealing
has been pricked and air OF a warm

the intention to open up a matter that

the evils Of such a method Of advertis-
ing, the subject 10 again referred to in
these columns.
Many are Of the opinion that the
stories sent broadcast by means OF the
Associated Press, will be q grand sd.
vertisement for the mines Of eastern
Oregon. There are two ways Of looking
at this question. Should we desire to
attract tenderfeet to the country, then
the statements sent out will have their
effect.
But II on the other hand We wish to
call attention to the country 30 that 81.
perienced mining men would come here
and invest their money, the plan falls
far short Of what wal intended.
Mining men Of experience keep clear
Of pocket or specimen mines. II 10 large
bodies Of medium, or low grade ore

time on a section where they are led to
believe that a few miners ran carry
away the gold produced in their lunch
pals or pockets.
Let the press Of the country tell the
facts about the huge assures that
abound here which carry ores that will
pay from five TO twenty dollars to the tor
in gold, and they will benefit the dis.
trict far more than publishing any kind
Of yarns about fabulous strikes or big
steals made by miners.

whether paving mines exist in its i'm
mediate environments on not. Travel
ing in any direction from the city, on,
can see prospect holes and tunnels on
every hand.
What indications have been found in
these numerous prospects has never
been given out to the public. II il quite
probable that the local prospector, like
all other people, considers that distant
fields are more green, and instead Of
opening up u favorable showing near
town, he goes to farther away points or
locates on some belt where there il
more excitement.

posted, claim that there would be
