Creek, the principal property being
the Black Butte. Mr.. Allen, owner
Of the Black Butte, has come in to
the county seat to start court pro-
ceedings.
The principal quartz ledge Of the
Butte property is on decided ground,
but the adjoining claims which make
up the group, along with some placer
claims, have been located by the scrip
method. These mining claims have
been held for years. Mr.. Allen
claims that perjury was committed
when the timber locations were made,
It having been sworn that the timber
men had personally been over the
ground and that 1t contained no min.
eral deposits.
The placer grounds have been
worked all summer. There Is IF.
teen foot ditch through the gold bear
ing ground, supplied with fumes and
other things necessary for placer min
ing. 1t Is said 1000 was cleaned
up from the diggings this season.
Because Of the alleged perjury
committed. criminal as we'll as civil
actions will be started against the al
legged timber men. 1t Is expected
that number Of warrants will be
sworn out in few days.
Mr.. Allen at one time conducted
the Golden Rule hotel and saloon In
Pendleton, where he Is we'll known.

OPTION ON PLACERS.
New England People Take Bond on Camp
Carson Diggings.

New England capitalists. says the
Baker City Herald, have taken an op-
tion on the famous old Camp Carson
placer diggings, owned by the
French Flagstaff Mining company,
represented In America by n. T.. I'M
haus of Baker City. The purchase
price of the property has not been
made public, but 1t Is said to be a
snug sum. W. II. Hazel. one Of the
pioneer placer miners of the Pacific
Coast has taken charge Of the dig
gings. which consist of 1000 acres
of rich ground on the Upper Grande
Ronde and Timber Jim creek. Camp
Carson itself Is located at the head
Of Tanners gulch, 1000 feet above
the Grande Ronde river. These high
placers contain II large body Of we'll
washed, cemented. coarse gravels rep
resenting u bank $500 feet long and
from ll5 to 300 feet high. While
the gravels contain great deai OF
gold their cemented nature interferes
with the normal hydraulic process.
1t IL the intention of the new owners
To commence work higher up with u
heavier water pressure.
The mines have been worked with
profit by the French Flagstaff Mining
company for ten years past, under the
direction of Mr.. lmhaus. Mr.. Hazel,
who represents the new owners. is an
old California placer miner who has
paid particular attention to hy-
draulics in the Golden State. He
believes that he can readily solve the
problem of the Camp Carson dig
gings and those who have watched
his career In the west are inclined. to
the strong belief that he can.

Touring on the Cheap.

A tourist agent has told me the fol-
lowing story, which, he says, acquires
a peculiar interest by being true. A
quiet-loolking American entered his
Office last week and asked him to elk
up nice cheap tour through Europe
Paris, Lucerne, Florence, Rome,
Venice, and Vienna he wished to be
included. It was found that at the
lowest rates the journey would cost
about e25.
"Stop right there" said the tourist;
well have to drop out a place or
two. I had calculated to do the
show on 6 TO-"
Now you cannot do very extensive
tour through Europe on e10 and the
route was reduced at last to trip
to Lucerne.
"Well," said the American, 81 can't
say you've not disappointed me; but
look here, you'll do this. Take pound
off the ticket and gimme guide-books
to the places I'm missing, and [ think
it will work out good" Manchester

AFTER SUNSET.

Over my head the skylark singeth,
Though the sun hath set and the night
draws nigh;
What is the message that sweet song
bringeth?
Is it hint that a day gone by
Gone by-gone by-may return again,
And the time of waiting go past like rain?
The lark still sings as he upward f1ieth
Through the dusk-blue air, and the
notes drop down
TO the listening earth, and my heart
that crieth
For the breath of spring and the sum-
mer's crown.
All! crown of summer, dost hang as far
AS over the skylark that lone white star?
oh, lonely star! But the song hath ended,
The purple mountains grow darker yet;
Soon will the crimson and gray be
blended,
And nought to tell where the sun hath
set;
The blue dusk deepens, more stars there
be:
What is the promise We hold for me?
Where the hills drop down to the sea
which spurneth,
F'or ever and ever, the patient land;
Where the blue hills melt to the blue sky,
burneth
a distant nre IKE lOVe-nl DranO
My steps descend, and it goes from sight,
But l know it is strong for the coming
night.
oh, stars and fire! is your inward mean
ing
To tell Of hope for the days to be?
OF an hour when Time shall go backward
leaning
To pluck white roses and red for me?
And the joy which is past come back
come back
With a threefold strength that shall
nothing lack?
Clara Singer Poynter, in Chambers
Journal.
