Amos White, an old miner, who for
the past few years has been living in
Portland
Old settlers now living in the Horse
Heaven country tell of a Frenchman,
Pierre RahadO, who lived near Bickle-
ton some 20 years ago, who would
mysteriously disappear every spring
and after a few weeks absence would
return with about $500 worth of gold
dust He would evade all the curious
ones as to his destination, but it was
generally believed he procured his
gold near the western base of Mount
Adams.
In the spring of 1891 the French
man started on his annual trip for
was that he was either killed by the
Indians, or had passed over tho
mountains to return no more.
AH1OS NIlltC OH scene.
Soon after the disappearance of the
Frenchman Amos White, miner,
gained the confidence and good will
of an Indian who protested to know
of the locality where the gold was
taken out. White offered the Indian
$4,000, and $1,000. a year during the
remainder of his days if he would lead
the miner to the coveted mine.
The Indian accepted the PROPOSE
ton and the trio started for the new
Eldorado.
The two were absent three weeks
but were finally intercepted on, the
way by Yakima medicine man, who,
taking the Indian aside, threatened
him into abandoning the project Thus
the matter stood for several years
Now comes Amos White declaring
that he is certain of the discovery of
the lost mine.

Five of the members, John Wine
gardner, Wright, Schnick White and
the other miner, left with pack horses
the first of the week for the scene of
the discovery, which lies about 20
miles northwest of Trout lake along
the western base of Mount Adams.
Provisions for three weeks trip
were taken and if results prove salts
factory the party will remain longer.
White, the leader of the party, says
that a few of the places they expect
to prospect are almost inaccessible,
and that he will have to be lowered
down into deep gulches- or crevices
with ropes. White exhibits speci-
mems of gold quartz said to have been
taken from the lost mine that assay

1t will be several years before any

Scope of the Work
MANY people do not fully realize
the scope of the reclamation work -
said Director Newell. "a summation
of the work of the reclamation SER
vice up to January I shows that it has
built more than 2,45S miles of canals

whole rivers. Laid end to end, these
canals would reach from New York to

waited have total length of more thar

are now ready for irrigation, embrac-

bureau, 10000 people are now estAb-
