AN IMPORTANT MINING DEAL
Dell Hart Sells the Old Trune Group Of Claims, West O
Oroville, to Pennsylvania Capitalists

Last Thursday Geo. A. Cooper, Geo. J.
Miller and j. X. Kresge. of Pittsburg,
Pa, and w. H. Ackerson, of Scranton
Pa, left for the east after having spent
Thursday morning after having spent
two or three days in Oroville and vicinity.
They were accompanied by Dell Hart of
this place, who went with the party as far
as Spokane. The presence of these gent
lemen in Oroville promises to be followed
by one of the most extensive mining de-
velopment campaigns that has ever
marked the history of mining in Okla
hogan county, and tue success of the
venture will have a great influence upon
not only the mining industry of this i'm
mediate locality, but in tho general pros
perity of Oroville, inasmuch as this will
be the supply and shipping point for the
company that is to engage in the work.
The property to be developed is the old
Triune group, located on the east slope
of the mountain range to the west of the
village of Golden, now more of memory
than Il reality, although at one time
rather warm number as western mining
camps have averaged in the past AS to
its location it can also be said that it is
only few miles southwest of Oroville
and naturally tributary to this place
The deal made by Mr.. Hart, who
has had an interest in the Triune for
score of years. The price paid is not
given out, but rumor has it that the
figures are in the neighborhood of $780,
600, one-fourth cash. II must not be

of surface gouging without other aim
than making the best of a good thing
while the free gold ore held out. BY
this means. however, much choice gold
bearing ore was extracted. While this
ore yielded handsomely in gold on the
plates and in the concentrates, yet there
was large percentage of loss in the
talings, running as high, so we have
been told. as 40 per cent. These tailings
should, and no doubt will, be worked
over at some time, and result in high
returns to the operators. Since the mill
was shut down, and that was many years
ago, development has gone on intermit-
antly from year to year, but along lines
that aimed to open up the ore body at
depth, and in such manner that quanti-
ties of ore could be blocked out and ex-
tracted to the best advantage. Like
many another mining property in this
county failure to make a steady pro-
ducer has been on account of lack of
necessary funds to go in far enough.
Mines cannot be made by keeping near
the surface, or by the expenditure of a
small amount of money from time to
time. 1t requires capital, and much of it,
to open quartz mine to that stage
when returns can be expected and in
the case of the Triune there has never
been sufficient funds available to carry
out the work as the holders desired
The Triune was located over twenty
five years ago by three prospectors

earlier start the year 1914 will witness a
greater growth than has marked the sea-

A FINE POOL ROOM

One of the striking features of the new
hotel that will add to its citified appear
ance will be the use of the basement by
several lines of business. Just as much
care and pains will be taken in finishing
the cellar story as any other part of the
big and handsome structure. There will
be large, cheerfully lighted, comfortab-
ly heated room at the southwest corner
of the basement floor of the hotel which
V. A. Hagerman will have tastiy furnish
ed and fitted as a pool room, barber shop
and bath room. Mr.. Hagerman will put
in four pool tables, one billiard table, two
barber chairs and two bath rooms. No
expense will be spared in the furnishings
and decorations, and when open to the
public there will be few pool rooms in the
state that will surpass it for attractive
ness and coziness. Entrance will be from
the First avenue front, near Main street.
Its convenience and central location will
make it popular resort for those who
enjoy the fascinating games of pool and

sum of money for hole in the ground,

to only few hours. Men are not making
that kind of Investment nowadays. Cap

an intrinsic value to a piece of property
before they are taking any chances by
investing. Negotiations for this trade
have been going for months. The
purchasers are shrewd business men,
who have made their money in game
where business acumen is necessary to
insure success. They have had the
claims exported by mining experts of

that fully 25 per cent of the school chill

inspection will be we'll worth the expense
