.WALLOWA COUNTY
MINERAL FIND
ORE CARRYING VALUES IN TIN,
GOLD, SILVER WITH TRACE
OF PLATINUM.

A most interesting story hangs
like veil around the mineral
claims filed upon last week by T. I.
Ratcliff and ]. W. Nedrow in Wal
Iowa county, some 20 miles north OF
Enterprise The story is as follows:
Some 20 years ago MIR. Ratcllff and
Mr.. Nedrow were hunting big game
in the locality where the claims ara
now flied upon, and In scouting for
game on horseback Mr.. Ratcliff
found some rock that appeared to
be mineralized and that differed con-
siderably from any local rock. Pick
ing up few bits OF "float" he
/ brought them into the camp the men
had made, and the rocks were ex-
amined. Little or nothing was done
at the time, and Mr.. Ratcllff went
to Salem where he has since re-
mained.
SECS Similar Rock.
Just recently Mr.. Ratcliff stepped
into an asoayer's office In Salem,
aad while there observed some rock
which bore striking resemblance
to that discovered 20 years ago while
he and his old army chum, Mr.. Ned
row, were hunting In Wallova coun-
| ty. Finding that the specimens In
the assayer's office CARRIED values
in tin, Mr.. Ratcllff came to Enter
prise, and together with his army
chum went into the old hunting
grounds again, rediscovered the min
eral ledge. took samples for assay,
and found that the rock carries at
che very SUI ace a trace OF plah-
mum. plenty of iron, $ll0 in SILVER,
$3.50 In gold. and trace OF TIN.
The gentlemen Immediately went
down some nine feet on the vein
and took out bag OF ore samples
that will be assayed to determine
Just how the mineral runs as the
vein descends.
Sample at this Office.
Mr.. Nedrow kindly left a sample
of the ore at this office, which can
be seen by anybody so interested.
1t shows talky trace, like chalk
dust, In portions, giving good prom
ise of carrying platinum. With depth
there is probably no doubt that
these gentlemen will find that they
have discovered primary deposit OF
everlasting low grade ore; and when
1t is remembered that the primary
deposit is the prospect that makes
the big producer, there is room for
hopes of mineral development north
of Enterprise.

Advertising Fund.
At the close of the booster speech
Mr. Richardson started an adver-
tlsing fund. This fund is to be con-
trolled by a committee of those who
donate it and disbursed by such a
! committee, the committee also to be
selected by the donors In this man
ner, as Mr.. Richardson explained, the
men who form the fund can know
that the money is not disadvantage
ously spent. 1t win be devoted ex-
clusively to advertising Wallows
county in eastern sections.
Business Men Respond.
Enterprise bust ,ess men responded
at once to the call for such a fund,
G. w. Hyatt leading the list with
generous donation of $25 month for
one year, followed by Cahsier w. R.
Holmes of the local bank with
similar monthly donation. w. j..
Funk responded with donation of
SIS month for year, and thus the
nucleus was formed, and it was the
desire merely to get the matter
started at that time, when the bust
ness men and local Commercial club
can continue The work. There is
not vestige of doubt that large
advertising fund will from now on
be created yearly, and that, as Tom
pointed out, it will prove the best
business investment for the cities
of Enterprise, Joseph, Lostine and
WaIlowa and the entire county, that
ever was made. 1t will throw immi-
grafton into WaIlOwa county; set
tie up the productive acres here;
add to the county's production; en-
large bank accounts, business volume,
and make two leaves of grass grow
where but one is growing now"
The Banquet.
1t would be hard to say too much
Of the banquet at the Hotel Enter
prise, where Host Blanchard did him
self proud and not only pleased but
delighted everybody present. An
other decidedly splendid feature of
the banquet was the presence of
nine members of the Improv emenf
League. under the direction of Mrs.
DR.. Moore, as mattresses. The Ia
dies started out to earn dollar eacl
nine dollars-for the league, to be
given to the cemetery improvement
fund. They devoted their services
70 that end, with that intention,
But ON explanation of the situation
Ey ToastmaSter Daniel Boyd, the
banqueters warmed" to the idea,
and tipped the ladies to the addi-
tional sum of $37.00, making a to-
tai of $4,000 for the cemetery i'm
provement fund.
This work of the temporary wait
resses was the crowning glory OF
the whole event. 1t illustrated pre-
cisely what Mr. Richardson had said
that the ladies as helpers of the bus
iness men, are simply invaluable
and indispensable. It illustrated
what the ladie can do in becoming
an auxiliary force to the local Com
mercial club.
The ladies who thus donated time
and labor SO advantageously were
as follows: Misses Katherine Kay

STARTED OFF sNAPPILY
Banquet In the Evening one of thel
Most Splendid Occasions In
Local History.

If any one had fallen into the no
tion that Wallowa county was either
dead or that she sleepeth, he
haa the hind sights knocked off that
rJt:on Thursday night, when Tom
Richardson came to Enterprise and
visited about the county briefly,
gave a booster talk, and attended a
banquet in the evening at the Hotel
Enterprise. The wide-awake enthusi
asm hat greeted him on his arrival;
ths enthusiasm which greeted him
|. hose whom he met at Joseph;
he enthusiasm with which the bust
ness men and commercial club re-
srcnded to his stirring appeal for
a better developed Wallowa county;
az the enthusiasm which again met
him at the banquet in the evening
a. which bade him godspeed and a
safe return to Wallowa county in the
near future-these were the mani
festations that did the county seats
big heart good. They laid bare just
the spirit that has been at work and
still is at workbuilding up Wallowa
cCLnty.
Entertain Tom.
Nj. Richardson was met at the
afternoon train by committee from
the Commercial club in automobile,
and taken Immediately to the hotel.
He was then taken on sightseeing
tour to Joseph, the lake, anu
POINTS in and about Joesph and
terprise, mounting promontories e
get long views of the valley and
surrounding country, and was return
ed to Enterprise in the evening.
Owning to the heavy rain just be
fore the speaking at the opera
house, it was for time feared THAI
a damper would be put on the meet
ing, but the people from Lostine, 10
seph and in and arund Enterprise
came brayely forth, giving an excel
lent hearing. Tom launched into
the business of boosting for oregon
and continued in it for nearly two
hours. He said things that stirred
every Oregon heart with deep pride
He gave statistics that opened every
Oregon mind with surprised enthusi
asm And he concluded by starting
an advertising fund that will be con
trolled and dispensed by committee
composed of those who donated 1t
all to the advantage and settlement
and growth of Wallowa county.
Some of the statistics given by MT
Richardson will bear much empha
SIS. For example: Oregon is grow
ing faster than any section of the
whole world, right now. An Oregon
city has the biggest commercial clui
in the world-fifty per cent. bigger
than the second club of the world
Oregon towns and cities show th'
most rapid growth of any towns ant
cities in the world. And the rura
or farm districts are growing fastel
in Oregon than the towns and cities
here.

Dies as Result of
Motorcycle Injuries

Oakland May 9.-W. H. George, a
well known real estate dealer of this
cityNTed from injuries sustained, when
he was struck by a motorcycle at East
Fourteenth street and Seminary avenue.
George was a native of Canada, and
until he came west several years ago
was connected with the railroads at
Chicago. He leaves a widow and one
daughter. He was the sonin-law of
Judge w. S. Williams of 489 Orchard
avenue and the brother-in-law of Rupert
Whitehead and Robert Mills, both of
this city. He was 81 years old and
was a prominent Elk and Mason.
The deceased was we'll known
throughout Amador county. He was
formerly connected with the Realty Syn
dicate of Oakland and a number of
Amador people we're led to invest in
the securities of that company through
his instrumentality. Only month ago
he was in Jackson and other parts of
the county, inviewing the holders of
Realty Syndicate certificates for the pur-
pose of exchanging these securities for
stock in the Oakland Traction company

Bv the automatic electric mechanism
of Scotch mariner, Bailie !. c. Boyle
of Falkirk, the compass is placed in
control Of the steering gear, and keeps
vessel on a predetermined course
without aid from the' helmsman. A
Anely.adusted insulated lever, called
the contractor, has one end connected to
the compass card, and is so constructed
that the opposite end may make contact
with either of two terminals, or con
tractor rods connected with reversing
electric motor that moves the steering
apparatus. AS the ship swerves from
its direction, the contractor makes con-
tact that completes all electric circuit
giving port or starboard helm as may be
required. The ordinary steering me-
chanism is retained unchanged, and the
controlling attachment can be promptly
disconnected when necessary, as when
the vessels course must be changed to
avoid an obstruction or another vessel.
The lobster pearl" found in lobster
at Orient Point, L. L., in July, 1907
has been preserved by Alfred Emo, of
jamaica N. Y. 1t is a quarter of all
inch in diameter, nearly round but not
has lightsbuff color resemb-
ling the SHE'LL and lacks the laminated
structure of the ordinary pearl. its
Iuster is not greater than that of bees
wax, while it has a waxy fracture-not
brittle nor conchodal After careful
Examination, New York dealer decided
it to be really kind of pearl and as
good one as a lobster can be expected
to make. Making more scientific in
vestigation Prof F. H. Herrick, of
Western Reserve University has
reached a different. conclusion. He
finds that the substance was attached to
the she'll and decides that it is in no
sense a pearl, but was an ingrowth of
the shell due to some injury.
The Illinois tests of Prof. S. w. Parr
and w. F. Wheeler seem to have shown
that the chief losses in the storage of
large quantities of coal are due to break
ing up into dust and to fires from spon-
taneous combustion. The maximum |
loss from weathering was not more than
80 per cent in Illinois coal stored a
year. Other eXperimenters have
differed, and have reported loss in
calorifc power from weathering as high |
as 25 per cent.
