WORKING ON
THE UNION

A. Allardyce, of Chicago, who has
been operating in the Big Creek dis
trict, has secured control of the Union
group of mining claims, on Seigle creek,
and Wednesday morning started work
on further development. The deal was
closed last week in Lewiston and Mr..
Allardyce arrived Saturday. He has
employed Mr.. jacobson of Big Creek to
have charge of the work.
The Union group is four miles above
the American Eagle, and comprises
seven claims. A shaft is down ITO feet
and considerable drifting has been done
on the ledge 35 feet below the mouth
of the shaft. There are boiler, engine
and hoist on the property.
The shaft and levels will be cleaned
out and thorough examination of the
ore bodies as now exposed will be made
before the character of the work to be
done is fully decided upon.

DR.. ]. D. Shinnick is now oc-
cupying his new Office building,
next door north of Mining News.
The new quarters are ample and
very pleasant, though the inter-
ior is not entirely finished, owing
to shortage of house lining and
wall paper in town. The new
Office building is divided into
three rooms, reception consulta-
tion and laboratory. DR.. Shin
inick's building is the first one
ever erected in Elk City and oc-
cupied exclusively by a profess
sional man.

TELLURIUM IN
BLUE RIBBON

Bob Brownell and Martin Hickman
who finished assessment work for. the
year on the Blue Ribbon mining claims
the first of the week, report they struck
tellurium ore. in the east face of the
main drift which shows free gold. All
work before has been done in the west
end, as it was believed the ore bodies
were to be found there. The discovery
has been a pleasant surprise to the
owners, and it may result in extensive
development work being done on the
Blue Ribbon this winter.
The owners of the Blue Ribbon are
R. w. Brownell, Walter Cook, Ed
Brown, all of Elk City, and H. D..
Poyneer, of Pomeroy, Washington.
The property has about 900 feet of de-
velopment work done, and it is classed
as one of the best showings in the dis
'ttr.ict.

PLANNING NEW
ELECTRIC LINE

A movement has been started at Ent-
erprise, Oregon, to organize company
to build an electric railway to junction
with the proposed electric railway from
Walla Walla. One route favored is
north about 25 miles, thence down
Courtney Canon to the Grahde Rounde
river, and up the Little Salmon. The
Walla Walla road will be built up Mill
creek to near the headwaters of the
Little Salmon. The road in this county
would run through the largest and fin
est belt of timber in eastern Oregon,
tap a big timothy land section and de-
velop the fertile Grouse and Eden
countries. The Little Salmon will
furnish ample power the year around to
operate the road. The length of the
proposed route from Enterprise to
Walla Walla is lis miles, or only 25
miles longer than the 0. r. q N. route
from Enterprise to La Grande.
Wallowa county is convinced that the
o. R. & N. does not intend to complete
its road into that valley. If the county
is to have railroad over which to
market its products, the road will have
to be built in large part by Wallowa
county citizens. The present move
ment is wholly popular one, devoid of
promoters or selfseekers. Indicative
of the feeling is the offer of wealthy
farmer to subscribe $4,000 toward the
road and to give $4,000 more if needed.
A large number of the deeds for the
0. R. & N. right of way in the valley
are conditional upon the completion o1
the road by March 1, 1908. These will
be bought up by the new company, anc
an electric road constructed down the
valley.

GOLD DOLLAR
MAKES STRIKE

A strike of unusually rich ore is re-
ported on the Gold Dollar, adjoining
the Dardanelles, on Red Horse, owned
by Frank Hye and Ed Ford. No assay
has yet been made to determine exact
value, but much free gold is seen with
the naked eye and paintings show colors
from which prospectors estimate the
rock will run $75 in gold values. There
is two feet of the rock showing in the
face of the drift now. The owners are
building cabins and making other neces-
sary surface improvements to carry on
development work during the winter.
The Gold Dollar property comprises
three claims and is three miles south
east of camp. Mr.. Ford, one of the
owners, returned from Nevada recently
where he prospected a great deal and
looked at properties in various stages
of development, and a number of. pro-
ducers. While the mines in Nevada
have made many old prospectors million
aires, and still many more immensely
rich, Mr.. Ford says the Elk City prop
critics possess more merit, and he thinks
it is only question of very short
time, possibly a few months, before
mining properties in central Idaho tina
are well developed will sell for big
sums.

1000 Feet of Tunnel.

The new owners will start work in
few days on new tunnel, which they
win run 1000 feet Provisions and sup
plies for big force of men were taken
out to the mine Tuesday, but only sur
face improvements, such as building
shops, sheds, enlarging quarters for the
men, etc., will be started, until the new
owners arrive, which will be in few
days. The property is now developed
extensively, and the new long tunnel
will give them access to ore at great
depth Immediately under very rich
groupings on the surface. There are
seven claims in the Occident group and
about 14O0 feet of work has been done.
Includes Placer.
The sale includes the Harrington
placer, adjoining the occident group,
and is said to be the only ground near
that could be used for mill site. The
purchase of this ground at this time,
and the further fact that the Occident
has rich ore bodies, which are extens-
lively explored, has caused a number to
predict that stamp mill is to be in
stalled by the new owners in the near
future.

Pue1z Strike IS One of
Great Richness.
A VISITOR TELLS ABOUT IT
Ore is Richest Ever Been Seen
in the Districts.

''The strike Of rich ore made by Robt
Puelz on his Butterfly group of mining
claims is the best l have ever seen any
where, and the ore is the richest in free
gold of any 1 have seen, excepting the
few specimen samples taken from the
American Eagle at the time of their rich
strike, a few years ago.
Elk Miners Interested.
]. M. McCaffrey said this upon mis-
return from Ofogrande the first of the
week. He brought down some samples
of the rock, which has been the center
of attraction to all old-timers in camp,
who want to know all about it. The
rock shows great splotches of gold,
so much so that many of the large, rich
specimens might properly be designated
as nuggets. They are sure enough eye
openers, and many of the old-timers
who have looked at them have exper-
fenced tingling sensation and felt the
electricity playing tag down their back
bone.
Excitement is running high at Oro-
grande, too,'' said Mr.. McCaffrey. ga
number of men in the camp who lost
their starch when the big mill shut
down, and who have since been sort O.
alternating, are taking new hitch and
getting ready to do something. More
men are now at work on their proper
ties in Orogrande district than at any
time in the two years just past. The
Puelz strike has renewed their energies
and given them hope, and the way claim
owners and prospectors are taking hold
the merits of the Orogrande properties
ought to be proven in short time
History of the Strike.
A little history of the Butterfly min
ing claims, running back, probably not
more than year, proves the fickleness
Of the mining industry, if it does not
prove that only the most competent
men should be in a position to direct
the work when men are spending large
sums of money to extract wealth from
natures hidden treasures. The Butter
fly claims were under bond to COM
pany, who spent large sum of money
in developing. A long tunnel was run,
r but the ore bodies encountered were
not of size and richness sufficient tc
S justify purchase, so the company drop
: ped the property. But the company
n passed within few feet of the hidde1
:, treasure, which has been found by Mr.
k Puelz, the owner of the claims.
