This section is fortunately to the

chinook winds from the Pacific and
warm rains temper the winter weather

Quarts and Placer Mining.
The great Rainbow" mine, which
is little more than a prospect, recent

fair indication Of other probably
equally rich quartz propositions in
the same vicinity.

Mr.. Worsham also
Owns Four Placer Propositions,
one of which paid last fall $75 a day
to three men, and another, this
spring, paid three men $50 a day.
These, like his quartz prospects, are
in the Malheur City mining district.
This district was a famous producer
~ years ago, millions of dollars hav-
ing been quarried out of it's wetal-
ribbed rocks. But now with the i'm
proved methods of mining and the
more searching and scientific methods
Of prospecting, it is daily being dem
onstrated that the district has only
been practically mined to the grass
roots. Consequently a new era OF
mining has begun and the most conser-
yatiye mining authorities unhesitat-
lngly affirm that the Malheur City
mining district is now on the eve OF
probably the greatest mining boom
that Oregon has ever known. At all
events, it is an assured fact that many
are the fortunes that will be made in
few months, in the near future, in

Iegion.
