Many Are Coming
Into WallOwa County
Two Big Stockmen From Atheea
Have Located Here Within a
Week.

That Wallowa county is settling
up rapidly is still further evidenced
by the influx of men with their fam
lilies and with the determination TO
make this locality their future homes
Within the past few days two fami-
lies have moved into WallOwa near
Enterprise, from the neighborhood of
Athena. The heads of these fam
Aies are J. A. Badley and D. B.
Banister.
Mr.. Bailey has purchased zoo acres
and will stock it with well bred
stock, launching into the stock bus
iness on an extensive scale. He
and his family thus become new
residents of Wauowa county.
Mr.. Banister brings a large fam
lily with him to settle on what is
known as the old Frank Wright
place He brings to the ranch blood
ed stock, highly bred, and viii en-
gage in the breeding of full bloods
both for the market and for breed
ing purposes. Mr.. Banister and wife
have large family, we are informed
and all will become industrious res
idents of Wauowa county, aiding
materially in the development of one
of the greatst counties in Oregon
and one of the most prosperous To-
calities in the world. Within very
few years little land will remain
unclaimed in Wal!owa county.

EVERYBODY HAPPY
k P'S ENJOY DAY
WALLoWA KNIGHTS AND LADIES
REPORT EXCELLENT TIME
IN ENTERPRISE.

The Wallowa X. P.'s and their
ladies returned to their homes in
that city Saturday morning, after
spending a gala time in Enterprise
Fl day and Friday night. The af-
ce.I oOn was devoted to handshak
ing. a ball game and a general
g1od time about the city. The ev-
enms was devoted to a banquet,
presenting a beautiful program, at
FrateIEal hall.
The Ball Game.
WallOwa was not going to be out
done in generously by the Enter
prise X. P.'s, and retaHated in the
game here with as deep generosity
as the Enterprise X. P.'s displayed
at Wallowa in the former game.
For Wallowa permitted the Enter
prise experts to take the game by
a score of to Z.
The game was characterized by
enthusiasm. Genuine Enterprise and
WallOwa enthusiasm. The Wallowa
fans shouted their encouragement so
adyantageously that it looked as if
the team might lose its generosity
in its baseball enthusiasm, and take
The game from Enterprise, But
council of war was held by each in
dividual Wallowa X. P, and it was
readily seen that it would never do
10 come into Enterprise, partake of
The X. p. hospitality here, and take
a baseball game away from the
The hosts. Consequently a new
light began to twinkle in the Wal
Iowa eye, new chuckle of delight
began to be heard from the Wal
Iowa players and fans. and they
kindly handed the game over to En-
terprise with Walowas compliments.
And, every Enterprise fan shouted
for joy
The Lineup.

ZINC STRIKE At
CEDAR TALISMAN
Biggest Body in History Found
ir Old Cedar
Claim.

Cedar Talisman has just broken
into the largest zinc deposits discov-
cred in the history OF the mine. oe-
eording to P. B. Mexican, who re-
turned from Milford yesterday morn
ing
The find was on the 125 level of
the old Talisman claim" said Mr.. Me-
kean. and it is a most important
strike" Foreman Dan Ferguson de-
clares il Will run To the surface. which
If it does. il should give up not less
than 500 tons of zinc. averaging from
40 10 SO per cent. Ferguson says that
although this shoot of ore has not
been cut on the 500 level below. he
can now not only stope 10 the surface,
hut follow the big body down 10 the
500.
There never has been a time in the
history of the Talisman since it was
discovered IN the seventies by General
COnnOr's men, when the mine could
not tale out enough ore to pay the
wages OF one. two or even five men,
said Mr.. Mexican. who has known the
mine perhaps longer and more init
mately than any other man in the
state. THAT property has paid from
the grassrOOts. and it has the richest
OutcFops of any property in the en-
tire county. The assures come right
10 the surface. and there are several
big blOwOuts on the hill 800 TO Acc
feet long, showing values"
The west drift on the 235 is get

the contact is close at hand. and the
Drift may break into ore at any time
ON the 500 west drift. some ore is
showing in the rock. and the contact
is no far ahead.
The east drift on the 500 also shows
a little ore; from an inch 10 foot in
width. The indications are that il viii
open up quite a body of ore as II
nears the other contact.

ORE FROM RETURN
MINE RUNS HIGH
First Shipment Nets 500 a
Ton in Silver
Gold.

Ten tons of ore. recently shipped
from the Return Mining cOmpany's
property in Mammoth mining district,
Nye county, New, to Salt Lake, Melted
s100 TO the ton. A previous careful
sampling OF the ore showed it should
have gone nearly twice as high, and
the owners were somewhat disap-
pointed in the returns.
The Return management recently
installed a fine gasoline hosting plant
over its 225-foOt shaft, and the in
creased facilities for handling the ores
and waste are assisting materially in
expediting the work of sinking the
shaft. The shaft is being sunk on a
fissure in pOrphyry. The intrusive
pushes up between lime and granite.
Neither wall has been reached. The
fissure is nearly vertical, and has
given off considerable rich ore from
the grassrOOts down. Some streaks
have shown values reaching S945 in
wire gold. Across the Az foot vein
assays run from So to SIS, with six
inches of high grade in places. Ruby
and brittle silver have been found in
the shaft. Drifts have been sent out
from the main shaft at various levels.
aggregating 500 TO 400 feet The as
say on the ten tons shipped went as
follows: gold, 81; silver. 1872 ounces;
iron, IL. Considerable high grade is
now sacked at the workings, and there
is much milling ore on the dumps.
The officers of the company are:
John Walters, Denver, president;
Frank futile, Manti. vice president;
Charles ". Watts, Kanosh, secretary;
Joe Hause, treasurer, and Charles
Christensen, Salt Lake, director. The
company owns nine mine claims.
Several other promising properties
in the district are now being worked.
The Illinois mine is six miles distance.
Here there is a loo ton custom mill,
which was recently put into commits
siOn At the mine a working shaft is
being finished to facilitate handling
the ores from the deep workings.
People recently in from Mammoth
look upon ii as one of the coming dis
tricts of central Nevada.

company. has forwarded to stockholders
of the Bingham Butte Consolidated
company a notification TO the erect

TO the Montana Bingham company the
Bingham mining properties or the

management Of the Ohio copper COM
pany is a regular performance these
DAYS, but the gait struck on Wednesday
last was too good 10 remain silent
about. During that day the mill treat
ed total of 2,0S6 tons OF copper ore
the best tonnage ever handled py the
plant When this record is considered
I'm the list OF the poorly equipped con-
ditiOn OF the mill, IL Is little less than
remarkable. The mill as designed
originally had paper capacity or z,vuV
tons daily, but, as is well known, the
plant is only One-half completed at the
present time, so the urst section with
n logical daily capacity or l,OOo IONS
OF ore is capable OF treating more thah
double this amount Of ore.
Tie tramWay between the lnterna-
tiOnal smelter and the Utah ConsOll-
dated Mining cOmpany's Highland
Boy mine at Bingham is now operating
satisfactorily. II son an air line from
the mine to the smelter four miles IN

ZION OF 800 feet. The tramway is a

according to the contour OF the gronnd-
II has nine intern ediate stations be
sides the two terminals. The ore IS
carried in buckets having a capacity
OF eight cubic feet. which with this
weight ore makes an approximate loaf
OF 1850 pounds per bucket. There are

ing al a speed OF 600 feet per minute,
which delivers the ore at the smelter

One unexpected development al the
Chino COEper property in New Mexico
IS the discovery OF extremely high
grade zones OF copper ore in the main
body Of lower grade, something That IS
seldom IL ever met with in mining on
a gigantic scale in Bingham. Ihe
Utah Copper company, for instance. has
az its disposal a gigantic deposit or
pOrDhyry ores OF a uniform grade, nav
ing ia deed as well as in name dis
semfnated naturalization. The COM
many does not bank on securing rlcn
rockets al least 10 the extent that they
can be mined with steam skovels, While
at the Chino there are zones OF high
grade straight smelling rock that can
he mined by the shovel method This
fact. and the additional fact that the
Chino company has been forced to alter
It's original plans, doing steam shovel
mining for years where some under
Ground operations originally were evl-
dently essential. have given Chino the
rirht or way on the eastern markets,
providing a feature in an otherwise
Ieatureless market.
