Mormon Basin Proving Veritab|e
E|d0rado.
BIG MOUNTAIN OF ORE IS FOUND
OWNERS REFUSE TO PLACE a
PRICE ON THEIR
HOLDINGS,

Mining circles were stirred to their
depths yesterday and considerable ex-
element has been caused through the
city in business circles, says the Baker
City Democrat. Many have declared
their intention of at once visiting the
newly discovered gold camp at Mormon
basin, about 35 miles southeast of Bak-
err City, from which E. S. Platts, of this
city and George Wagner, of Cripple
Creek, Colorado, have just returned.
The cause of the excitement was the
discovery a short time ago by Wagner
of an immense mountain of ore on
claims and which, if in Colorado or
Nevada, would be on the market at
millions. AS it is, Platts has refused
to put a price on his property, and has
already had several engineers for for
eign capitalists making examinations Of
the prospects. One corps of engineers
is now on the ground. Mr.. Platts, who
has just returned from camp, states
that the proposition is so large that he
himself is afraid to talk about it.
Wagner, who is an old miner, and who
discovered and sold much valuable pro-
perty in Cripple Creek, says the for
nation of this Mormon Basin property
is identical with a mine he opened in
Cripple Creek which afterward sold for
$5,OO0,00O. The formation of the ore
belt is permeated with phonolite. The
ore belt is $500 feet wide and the ore
is in veins alternating between country
rock and phonolite, so to 100 feet in
width, and can be traced for thOus-
ands of feet on the surface. The CROP
pings all pan in free gold. Assays
made run from $13 to $500 to the ton
and average more than $50 to the ton.
Mr.. Platts estimates that there is a
quarter of a million dollars now in
sight.

carded the queue became, in the esti-
nation of the Dowager Empress, a po-
tential enemy of the throne Never
theless, discarding the queue was no
such overt act, as could be used
against him who did it. 1t was dan
ger and a danger signal against which
the Dowager Empress and the throne
was powerless. That is they would
have been powerless from European
standpoint. Not so, however, from the
standpoint of the oriental subtlety
which finds it's apotheosis and highest
example in Use An, DoWager Empress.
She has issued a proclamation fully
countenancing the custom of discard
ing the queue. Immediately the inhu-
ence of the practice is turned in her
behalf. 1t can no longer be considered
sign of hostility, potential or pres
ent. Whoever discards it may have
done so in conformity with her proc
lamation, and the greater the num-
Der, the greater apparent influence the
Dowager has.
The progressives cannot stop the
practice without sultifying themselves.
They cannot declaim against the EN-
press, for It is exactly what they have
fostered. BY a stroke the Empress has
turned what was a menacing possible
ity inimical to her and to her dynasty,
into a badge of loyalty, and a bulwark
of the throne.
