POWDER MINES
Some Of Our Neighbors Are
Preparing For Spring.

In the last issue Of the Powder Valley
Echo, is the subjoined list of mining
claims and an account OF what Is being
done and their future prospects, which
goes to show that there is something Of
value in that vicinity.
On the La Clede the work Of future
developing it's ricl, ore bodies will begin
early in the spring, perhaps in March,
and will continue until q sufficient body
Of ore is expected to justify either the
erecting OF q plant for its reduction, or
the shipment Of ore.
The Hughes group Of mines adjoins
the La Cleds on the south and south.
east and it 10 expected that several
thousand dollars worth OF work will be
done during the coming spring and
summer in still further developing the
several leads which pass through this
group.
Besides the above, there is the
Umatilla, upon which a considerable
amount OF work will be done. Also the
Kelsey and other groups, lower down
the river, including those Of Mitchell,
Huxley and others.
1t is also understood that the River.
dale and keystone mines will be work.
ed to q considerable extent with a
strong probability Of the Riverdale mill
being put into working condition.
There will also be q considerable
amount Of work done on the group
located last year by q. II. Downs, also on
that Of Downs and Vandecar; while
upon nero other claims and
groups, at least the usual assessment
work will be done.
Work will also be started up on the
Buckeye. Arrangements are being made
to start work on this valuable property
just as soon a. proper machinery a be
obtained and placed in position. After
pumping out the water and getting
every thing in readiness a larger force
than ever before will be put to work
and development work will be con.
pushed until the value OF the
mine 10 thoroughly established.
Besides this mention OF claims around

TWO KINDS OF MINES.
One for Companies and An
other for individuals.

Some people do not appear to realize
that there are two kinds of mines in
every district. That is, one class of
mines that should only be worked by a
company. and another class than can
only be made to pay when worked by
individuals. No doubt this statement
may appear strange to those who have
not given the subject much thought, but
it is true nevertheless. e"
To illustrate; should a ~prospector
have q small vein, or a number of them.
II he is q practical man, he can associ.
ate with himself two, three, or more
competent persons, they can, by doing
all the work themselves, develop the
vein. o veins, extract the ore and
market it. By this method they may
realize in the long run probably much
more than wages, and il frugal, in time
will have a competence II not a fortune,
If on the other hand, this same prop.
erty vas merged into a stock company,
the expenses Of incorporation had to be
met, printing Of certificates and other
stationery provided for, commission on
stock sales allowed, Office expenses and
salaries Of the necessary officers and
attaches paid, the real preliminary
outlay would in all probability be SUI.
fcient to keep a half dozen practical
miners going until they had sufficient in
sight to make them quite independent.
This rule applies to small veins, those
carrying sufficient value to pay q reason.
able margin Of profit when properly
managed. There are many instances
that could be cited where companies
have taken hold OF mines Of this class
and have come to grief because the
quantity Of ore was not between the
walls to justify the working Of the claim
on thescale that an incorporated com.
pany 10 supposed to carry on the busi'
ness.
Again there are mines which, II
handled as above set forth, the practi.
cal miner could not make the salt which
seasons his food. Suppose the company
the Anaconda, or the owners Of
any noted big mine OF the world, were
10 give, say score OF miners, all the ore
they could break in one Of these big
mines, they may also furnish them with
tools and powder and hoist the ore, yet
the end Of the month these miners
could not pay their hoard.
The reason for not having this 10 plain
his score OF miners have not the e to
carry this ore on to its flushed stage. 1t Is
too low in grade to be sold on the dump,
It must be transported, probably cor.
centrated, smelted and the metals re.
fined before it has q value in the mark
ets OF the world, All this takes capital,
and an association OF individuals, or q
company, must supply the capital.
These ideas are the fruits Of exper.
fence, and are facts. Narrow veins,
and in many instances
veins, are not for big companies

The holdings Of the individuals. Large

grade, as long as it will leave q margin,

should manipulate.

The Poetry of the Orange

1t appeals to you, when the fruit hangs
ripe and sweet on the trees in February
or early in March. Then the blossoms
break out and the trees are yellow with
golden globes. and white with orange
flowers. 1t maybe that furry of snow
has whitened the mountain tops, and
then you have an artistic back ground
for tropical forest. The air is full of
sunshine, and sheavy with fragrance as
the night comes on, and thes if the
moon be shining, you may hear at mid
night through open windows the song
of the fnockipg bird in the scented
grove, and it never seemed so me1odious
before.
