strung along one principal street and
lumbia. The course is alomst due
south. The width of The valley varies,
as the mountains encroach upon the
plain, or open out il wider stretches.
For fertility it can be safely claimed
that the Okanogan valley is the garden
spot of the Pacific coast, and there is
acreage sufficient to support very
large population. At the northern
end of this valley, at the foot of Osoy-
oos lake some five miles as the crow
flies from the boundary line, and
where the valley spreads out in bowl
shape, is located Oroville. The land
is almost dead level between the riv-
ers, with foothills to the west that
furnish ideal sites for homes, more
favorable location for town, both as
to typographical situation and its close
relations to vast extent of rich con-
tributary country, rich in minerals, in
stock, in agriculture, and in fruit, can
hardly be found anywhere. Oroville
has been called the gateway of north
central Washington, and the key OF
the Okanogan valley. These titles are
we'll conferred. Oroville is on the only
available highway for miles and miles
east and west between the state of
Washington and British Columbia, and
every year travel over this route is
steadily increasing. 1t is the last
place touched going into British Co.
lumbia, the first place reached COM
ing from British Corumbia 1t is a
natural highway on water grade, and
for scenic attractions can not be sur
passed. Then to the east and west
the outlet through the ranges of noun
tains is at Oroville, and these passes
have been utilized by the Great North
ern railroad. 1t will be thus seen that
SO far as typographical situation is
concerned the town site of Oroville
could not be excelled.
Oroville presents a striking appear
ance approaching the town from any
residences scattered over large area.
The impression of largeness is more
pronounced at night, as the place is
literally lighted with electric lights,
and the twinkling lights after night
fall gives the traveller an idea that he
is approaching city of several thous-
and people. But whether the first
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1914-11-27

The accompanying illustration is a
panoramic view of Oroville and the
Okanogan valley, looking east and
south from an elevation to the west.
1t is difficult to secure perfect and
comprehensive photograph of Oroville
that will give the reader a fair con-
ception of the general appearance OF
the town. In the first place the town
is scattered over and strung out for a
long distance along the wide wedge
OF land between the Similkameen and
Okanogan rivers on the east and west
forming junction a short distance
to the south, with Osoyoos lake across
the broad end of the wedge. The
conformity of the land, the valley TAX
ing the form of crescent, the posi-
tions of the rivers and lake, makes it
difficult to get stretches of water into
the focus of camera, and it is these
sparkling stretches of water that con-
tribute materially to the beauty of the
towniste and the surrounding country.
Then to get a photograph Of even a
portion of the town and valley it is
necessary to take the picture from
such a distance that the buildings ap-
pear too diminutive to give the reader
a fair impression Of the appearance OF
the place. However, the view publish
ed is one of the best that has been
recently taken, and it includes a wide
stretch of the valley as well as taking
in the town. 1t will give the reader
who has never seen the town some
idea of the exceptionally favorable
site, but only by personal inspection
can the charm of it's surroundings be
understood, with it's rich valley, it's
pretty lake and rivers, and the rugged
mountains so near at hand yet far
enough away to leave ample room for
a city of great magnitude in the CEN
ter of the extensive amphitheater.
The Okanogan river, fed by the lake
and brawling Similkameen river, flows
sinuously through fertile valley, par
alleled to the east and west by chains
OF mountains of irregular height and
irregular formation, from the inter-
national boundary line to the Co
direction, and the first impression is
that the town is larger than it proves
to be on closer inspection. This is
due to the business houses being

tons of raw ore a day. The greatest
difficulty has been in the electrolysis
OF the zinc chloride, but success here
almost seems certain. The me-
tallic zinc liberated is to be used as
precipitant, and the chloride gas
set free is to be used for chloridizinS
all the metallic contents of our ore
and gold The idea is to make the
process continuous, recovering all
metal contents with little loss. Ex-
periments indicate that any excess
of iron can be disposed of by a light
roast. Lead pigments may also be
made"
Mr.. Fisher, manager of the Golden
King, at Rich Bar, in an interview by
the reporter of the Gazette says:
The ores of the Rich Bar district
have the same mineral contents as
those of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mine, and also lie in quartzite, and
the ore will respond to the same
develop our ore bodies, and Oroville
can be in the same class with Kellogg
in the matter of having a treatment
plant"
Work at the Golden King mine is
moving along steadily, and the man
ager expects to have a power plant
installed before spring.
The Rich Bar mine is now patent
ing it's property, and as soon as the
patent is issued development will be
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1914-11-27

resumed. They have the greatest
amount of development work done of
any of the Rich Bar mines, and quite
a lot Of ore blocked out in the mine.
The Sterling group at Rich Bar is
being organized into a company, and
development work will be prosecuted
vigorously.
Work is now in progress on the
Keystone group, and much good ore is
being piled up on the dump.
The Caaba mine is one of the best
developed properties of the district,
having attained depth of 1877 feet,
at which point the vein has a width
Of nine feet, and is all fine concentrat-
ing ore of the same general character
as the ores of the district. Work on
the Caaba will be resumed at an early
date, and it is the intention of the
management to sink to a depth of
500 feet before arranging for treat
ment. There has been steady in
crease in ore values with depth, and
there is every evidence that it will
make a great mine.
From all of this it will be readily
seen that the Rich Bar district has
great future before it.
