BUTTERFLY BONDED.
Promising Property in Orosrande Dis
tric1 Turned to Eastern
People.

E. F. Gordon of Orogrande was
an Elk visitor this week on min
ing business. To a representa-
tive of the Mining News Mr..
Gordon said: "Orogrande is NOV
ing steadily onward. The But
terfy group of II claims was

Gently. This property is situated
on the west of the Vendetta, be-
tween the east and west forks Of
Crooked river, close to their con-
fuence, and extending to the
Calender divide. Work on this
group will begin in the near fu-
ture. The property is owned by
myself, Bob Pulz and John Hok-
enson. From samples of ore
tested we are warranted in be-
lieving' that this will be one of
the great properties of the camp.
"The two hotels at Orogrande
are fast assuming defnate out
lines. The Vendetta, owned by
Warfeld & Gray, will be a two
story structure, having 18 rooms.
The one being built by Messrs.
Finn & Marion will occupy a site

Two Mining Suits.

Elk City will furnish her quota
of grist to the legal mill this
coming term of the district court,
One is a suit to COMPEL fulfill
ment of contract; Andrew Prader
plaintiff, E. Erwin and j. j.. Nit
chell defendants. Plaintiff claims
an interest in the Camp Bird
group in payment for running
100 feet Of tunnel. Defendants
resist, it is said, on the grounds
that plaintiff failed to appear on
time.
The cause of theaother suit ap-
pears to be best illustrated by Bill
Nye's famous story of the keeper
of a railway lunch counter, who
charged the late humorist $3.50
for a cup of coffee and a dough-
nut. The price, while eXhorbi-
tant, was not contested by Bill,
but in the interest Of commerce
he asked why the boniface charg-
ed so much. That worthy, after
a moment of deep cogitation, re-
piled: "Well, l tell you, Mister,
the fact is. by CAD, l need the
money" which bit Of frenzied
finance illustrates pretty thor
oughly the nub of the plaintiffs s
case in the public mind. in what
will be known as Martin Heck
man and R. w. Brownell VS.. E.
E. Espey for equal interest in a
mining claim known as the South
Fork No 3.

tests demonstrated that after the
SO per cent was saved on the
plates the residue would concen-
trate at the ratio of "a tons into.
one, which concentrates yielded
Sc, $1,000 per ton, and what was
still left of value in the tailings
would be considered a pretty fair
mining proposition in some coun-
tries.
AS an additional angle of view
illustrating the wonderful rich
ness of this deposit, the writer
has before him the assay map on
which occurs the following two
notes, viz: 1.-TWO feet of gangue
on hanging wall, $99.21; gangue
on footwall (amount not stated,
1884, .33; two feet of blue ore (tel-
lurium), $418.36. :" AS a result
of the above tests Mr.. Espey wise
ly concluded to ship the blue
ore to a smelter for treatment,
and mill the gangue, besides a
couple of feet of inferior quartz.
which is comparative free, which
yields close to the 5000 mark.
A force of men are now at work
taking out the ore for shipment,
building roads, ore houses, etc.

A New Company.

w. C. Brewer returned Friday
from Chicago where he went a
couple of weeks ago on mining
business. Mr.. Brewer reports
the organization of the Umatilla
Mining company of 100000 shars,
organized under the laws of
Washington, with headquarters
in Chicago. Jacob Schlosser is
president and C. w. Brewer sup
erintendent.
The property is situated on the
west fork of Crooked river a short
distance west Of Orogrande, and
is said to have a fine showing.
Work will begin in about 30 days
and it is Mr.. Brower's intention
to work a force of at least eight
men all winter.

Found Body.

F. M. Roberts reports the find
ing of what is supposed to be
the body of Francis Steele, in Big
creek. The body was so badly
decomposed that Identification is
difficult.
Speaking of Roosevelt district
Mr.. Roberts said: ct is very
quiet-quieter, perhaps, than at
any time since it became a min
ing camp. The mining compan-
les are generally beginning tC
realize that their ore is not free
milling. They believe, however,
that the cyanide process will dc
the trick"
He speaks warmly of the Big
Creek section; it being easily dis
cernable that, to Franks way Of
thinking, Big Creek easily leads
the Thunder Mountain camps as
a mineral region; an opinion, by
the way, which is fast becoming
general.

camp near the ferry in almost a
famished condition. From his
story it seems he is a recent en-
ploye of the Sunnyside mine at
Roosevelt. When that property
closed down recently Sam got his
walking papers; and together
with a number of others. started
for civilization. The party camp
ed on Big creek, and Sam. started
out fishing. In some manner he
became lost, and wandered around
six days without food other than
berries and leaves. He even had
no matches with him to cook any
fish he might have caught. The
second day, when Sam realized
that he was wholly lost, he started
down creek which proved to be
McCawley and followed it down
to the river; thence down the
river to the first cabin he struck,
where he was given food and
shelter. He experienced no >es-
pecial injuries from his exper-
ience. From a knowledge of the
country l should judge the man
covered nearly 200 miles during
his wanderings."
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
w. L. Sendker of Dixie was a
business visitor this week. Mr..
Sendker reports Dixie properties
as giving the best possible results
to the systematic development
which has succeeded the cid per-
functory, slipshod methods o1
former years. Said he: "Tht
Comstock people have, since start
ing their mill, collected 80 ounces
of amalgam from the mortar liz
alone"
On the Mallard group, owned
by Mr.. Sendker, an ore body 10'
feet long by 2 to 5 feet in widtl
has been opened up.

AS predicted in the Mining
News telurium ore has been dis
covered in commercial quantities
in Elk City district; E. E .Espey
being the fortunate Argonaut
who made the discovery on one of
the South Fork greup, in which he
is interested as co-owner in Nos. l
and 2, and sole owner in Nos. 3
and 4. AS previously indicated
in these columns the find was
made on No. 8, full particulars
of which has been already pub
lished.
In the treatment of this ore it
was thought that roasting and
simple amalgamation would suf-
flee to extract all the values, a
mistake common enough to those
unfamiliar with this character of
mineral, but it soon became man.
ifest that while amalgamation
gave fattering results to the eye,
cold-blooded tests showed that
but SO per cent of gold was being
saved; the other Al per cent was
going into the tailings. Labra-
tory tests showed farther that
after amalgamation and concen.
tration, the tailings carried $9E

LII dill lIlIerVlSW Will Cllc 1NSWo-
man, Robert G. Bailey, who was
in camp a few days ago, had the
following to say regarding Dixie
and vicinity:
Operations at the Comstock is
the principal attraction at Dixie
just now. The Seattle company
which has this property under
bond is going ahead in a manner
which, unfortunately for mining
in general, is seldom practiced-
along business lines. Before at
tempting to secure a working
bond the company had its agent,
Mr.. Tytler, get a temporary bond
on the property and make thor
ough investigation of it. Not
only was the ore body tested for
size and quality, but exhaustive
tests we're undertaken to deter
mine the best methods of work
ing the ore advantageously. The
investigation of Mr.. Tytler show
ed that by amalgamation fifty
percent. of the values could be
saved; and concentrating the
tailings and then cyaniding, 85
per cent. or better of the residue
could be extracted. A mill run
of several hundred tons of rock
also showed conclusively that the
ore could be handled at a good
profit. Armed with these facts
the Seattle people clinched the
bond deal, organized a company,
raised enough money to put in a
cyanide plant and put the prop
erty on a paying basis, and have
begun making gold bricks. The
mill on the property is 4-stamp
affair. Originally water furnish
ed the power, but the addition of
cyaniding requires a great deal
of water and a gasoline engine
has been installed to run the mill.
That the Comstock is a good prop
erty has been conceded by all who
have examined it. The trouble
in the past was the usual one in
mining who knew moth
ing of mining, and supposed that
after a mill was erected it would
run itself that is, they furnished
money for a plant, and expected
returns too soon. Failing in this
they cried quits before giving the
management a show to demon
strate the merits of the property
"Messrs. Perry and Brown

same character. The breast of
the tunnel was past this streak
six feet, in the pegmatite, with
no signs of the foot wall.
"On claim which they own
adjoining the Ajax, Messrs. Burke
and Kinds have begun a crosscut
tunnel. There is a shaft on this
property which shows a small
ledge of exceeding richness.
''The company represented by
Mr.. Danforth has made no move
to carry out the elaborate pro-
gram they contemplated in the
spring; but Mr.. Danforth is doing
a great deal of work for one man,
and is confident his people will be
in shape to carry on operations
shortly.
"a number of men are doing
assessment on various claims, but
no strikes of Importance have
been recently made.
"The ranchers along the Sal
mon are congratulating them
selves on one of the best crops
ever raised, both in quality and
quantity.
''Work on the big dyke of the
Printer group is being carried on
in a small way. Recently the
manager has had instructions
from the eastern owners to run
series of short tunnels, cutting
the ledge at various places along
the entire length, and to take out
a sample for a cyanide test. If
this test shows that the values
are equal to the assay returns,
parties have promised to put up
funds to erect 25-ton plant to
make a thorough working test Of
the property. Assays gives re-
turns ranging from 62 cents to
SAL, and at no point on the dykes
have samples been taken which
, failed to show values when as
sayed.
