Take Power From John Day.

The Empire Gold Dredging COM
pany, who own the dredger that OPP
Grated on the John Day river during
the past two seasons, is figuring on
new power aud is preparing to in
stall a large electric plant, which they
will operate with water taken from
the John Day river. They have
arranged top ut In large dam across
the John Da! river at the Harry Hall
ranch this side of Prairie city, from
which point they will construct a
large canal on the south side of the
dairy ranch Of j. g. Oliver, and will
not generate sufficient electricity not
only to operate their present dredg-
ing plant, but several other similar
plants, the construction Of which is at
present contemplated. When once
installed It will be much cheaper
than using wood for fuel and much
more satisfactory. The company
has had a corps Of surveyors here
during most OF the season, and while
their plans are known to no one but
yet from the nature Of
their work, the installing Of large
electric plant will be done before
much work Ia done with their
dredger. er.-Blue Mountain Eagle.

V|NSON MAY TAKE
WATSON PLACfRS

w. L. vinson. Of Baker City, who
represents Chicago capitalists, has
taken an option on the old Watson
placer claims on the John Day river,
from the Thornbnrgs, who have
operated them recently, at a good
round price, although the exact figures
can not be given out. The deal
will be closed and the money paid
over as soon as the abstract of the
property shows clear title.
1t has been announced prematurely
that the deal has been made, but 1t
will not bc until the return of w. s.
Bowers from Canyon City, the Baker
City expert abstractor, who has gone
to examine the records of the title,
whether the sale sticks or not.
This Is considered very important
transaction as IL IL Is a go 1t will put
a good deal of money In circulation
in the Red Boy district and Mr..
Wilson'S company will operate the
property with hydraulic machinery
and IL may be possible that the com
pany will become interested In quartz
mining as we'll. Mr.. Bowers left this
morning and expects to be absent a
week or ten days In Canyon City.
democrat.
Both Messrs. Vinson and Bowers
arrived in town today and the former
drove to the property mentioned.

day, ut which time 1t will be
known whether or not the deal will
be consummated.

Yesterday the White Swan mine
was redeemed from the sherif's sale,
which took place some weeks ago
under an order Of the court to satisfy
tho miners lien aud other claims
against the property. The payment
Of redemption money WAS made by
9. II. Stuller who two or three months
ago succeeded Letson Balliett as
manager Of the company. The stock
holders are making al effort to put
the property on a paying basis and
Mr.. Stuller took the first step today,
when he paid Off the %, 500 Of in
debtedness through the court. The
other debts of the property here
locally amount to very little. Mr..
Stuller says II IL in the intention Of
the stockholders to push development
work for all there IL In 1t aud for
that purpose they are paying up an
assessment on stock and expect to
commence work In the near future.
1t Ia probable that al entirely new
shaft will be sunk, instead Of un-
watering the old one. Democrat.

DRfDGE
TO Be STARTED

}. X. Zimmerman, manager OF the
Big Creek placers near Susanville,
WAS on the train this morning from
Baker City. Mr.. zimmerman e
work this year IL largely preliminary,
and while some tangible results are
expected he will probably not get his
placers in full swing before next
year. The prospecting done 80 far
shows extremely rich ground, and
the results next year, when all of the
machinery is installed aud the
bitches completed, will doubtless
prove gratifying.
Mr.. Zimmerman says that he has
information to the effect that the
Empire Dredging company. Il. II.
Pomeroy, manager, operating near
John Day, will start up In II short
time The company IL now pros
pecting with churn drills, and the
results are satisfactory. Work with
the dredge is to be- resumed, he snys,
In the course Of u week or 40. The
company intends using up Its supply
Of cordwood now On hand for run
ming the drcdge. and then will Install
electric motive power. To this end
n ten mile ditch is being completed.

In the Cracker Greek disti ict, came
to town last night. The work, he
says, Ia progressing very salts
factorily. Operations are being
carried on at two points on the prop
erty.
A crosscut tunnel was recently
started, which will give 1000 feet
depth on the vein, aud theS drift on
the ledge Ia also being carried ahead.
The one In the face carries high
values. The Nine Strike is on lead
paralleling the North Pole, aud Is
regarded as an exceptionally good
property.
