Patent This Property.

Dan Stalter, the discoverer of the
Mayfower mine in the Greenhorr
mountains, arrived in Canyon City
Wednesday. He came over to take the
preliminary steps toward securing a

critics.
The Mayf1ower quartz property was
discovered and located by Mr.. Stalter
several years ago while working with
sheep in the mountains. The group is
located on the south slope of the Green.
horn range between what is known as
the east fork of Big Boulder creek and
Beaver creek. The property was sold
to the Heppner Mining Co., and with
Mr.. Stalter the en- tire stock of the com.
pany is owned by Morrow county peo-
pie.
This group is composed of ten claims,
on which they have five distinct lodges,
which average from six to forty feet in
width and all have ore that ASSAYS we'll,
a | as far as developed, containing free
milling ore except one claim. On the
ten claims Mr.. StaIter's company has
over 1000 feet of tunnel and 200 feet of
shaft. They are now working in their
longest tunnel which is in at a depth of
400 feet. and expect to continue work
until the tunnel on that property is
complete to depth of 800 feet. They
have between 200 and 300 tons of free
milling ore on the dump at the present
time, and with the vast amount of like
ore in sight on their group, makes Mr.,
Stalter confident as to its future. They
will erect five stamp mill next season
and from all assays they have had on
their ore, their prope erty is destined to
become an important producer in the
near future. Long Creek Eagle.
