 Until recently the trees ex- istence was known only to the owner and several neighbors who, according to citrus ex- perts, did not realize it's value but regarded it merely as freak of nature. Several of South Florida's largest citrus growers have organized a sym dicate, purchased the tree, leased the ground upon which it stands and already are talk ing steps to develop it's possi- bilities by propagating it thru budwood, with the expectation of having 25O,OOO trees ready for setting out in groves by 1928.
 The ever-bearing tree is about IS years old and appar- ently authentic records show that for eight years is has bloomed and borne fruit contin- and that at no time dur ing that period has it failed to have blossoms and fruit at all stages of maturity.

DUFUR ORCHARD IN
FINANCIAL TROUBLES

The Dufur Orchard Co.. owning 1900
acres, Of which $500 acres are planted
m 8-year old trees said TO be the lMg.
est apple orchard in the world. was
forced into an involuntary receivership
Tuesday afternoon.of last week at The
Dalles by Circuit Judge Fred w. Will
son by petition of creditors. The big
orchard tract lies II miles south of The
Dalles in Wasco county. The land has
been valued at $500.0OO for wheat
growing purposes. Including great
warehouses and other equipment, the
value has been increased. it is said, to
more than 81 600, 900. A. c. Churchill,
manager Of the company, was ap-
pointed temporary receiver. On Janu-
airy "a, a hearing will be held, and
creditors given an opportunity to sug-
gest permanent receiver.
Attorneys said the action was taken
to prevent creditors from forcing the
company into bankruptcy. Poor con-
ditiOns of the market is said to be di-
rectly responsible for the present
trouble. One of the debts mentioned
in the complaint was mortgage for
$50, 600 held by the Northwest Fruit
Exchange. The complaint AYERS that
receipts from this years crop,
which was expected to amount to
roo, 900 boxes, were insufficient to meet
this obligation. Among other items
of Indebtedness mentioned were: A
short term note for $4, 637 to hard
ware concern of The Dalles; mort
gage trust due to the Portland Trust
Co. to secure bonded Indebtedness for
$3.50. 900; a second mortgage of the
Northwestern Bank, of Portland, for
$25, coo; a lien on all real and personal
property in trust deed mortgage for
$ll5. 600 held by f. H. French. banker
of The Dalles, and Emory Olmstead,
Portland banker. A. number of small
er claims have cropped up, and it is
said that the company is delinquent in
taxes.
The big orchard is in dry section,
and its success without water has al
ways been a mooted question among
Hood River orchardists. The orchard
has not been cultivated since last sum
mer, and unless this cultivation is done
it is predicted that the 1921 fruit crop
will be a failure. 1t is also charged
that the trees are suffering for lack of
pruning.

Hunsaker Early 5. 5. Superintendent

On reading of the death of j. Hun
saker, at Everett. Wash, Geo. T. Pra-
ther recalls how Mr.. Hunsaker, a pio-
neer whose place was on the Washing
ton shore of the Columbia where the
station of Hood is now located, used to
row across the river every Sunday to
attend Sunday school at Frankton.
"Mr. Hunsaker, who later removed
to White Salmon. where he owned a
store, later sold to l.. N. Blowers, was
superintendent of our Sunday school.
Another Washington man, who with
his family rowed down the river regu-
larly for Sunday school was A. H.
Jewett. These pioneers thought nothing
of these long jaunts for Sunday school,
yet today, when the automobile can
convey passengers rapidly, folk hesi
tate to go few miles for religious
worship"
Mr.. Hunsaker was 76 years old.

house is provided with excellent fare,
prepared by a cook to whose qualifi-
cations the writer gladly bears wit
ness. The management of the Bull
lion has been under the direction of
James H. Taylor practically since the
organization of the company. He has
had many difficulties to contend with,
many Heterogeneous. and this is the
fate of all men who have done the
pioneer work for the mining industry.
1t is one of the pathetic phases of
mining that many of them who bear
the burden fail to receive the reward
for their long years of effort. In
Mr. Taylor's case, however, he has &C
complished his task in making a mine
of the Bullion, and it only remains for
a return of favorable mining condi-
lions for him and the stockholders
whose interests he has so faithfully
served to receive the reward.
Cost Figures.
The financial story of the Bullion
can be told in q few words, and its
reflects great credit upon the man
agement, particularly in view of the
high costs of mining during the per-
iod covered. The main crosscut was
started in 1914 and it's total length is
now 400 feet not to mention various
crosscuts and drifts to prospect the
ground. From that year up to the
first of the present year the company
had expended sS1.4OO for all purposes,
which includes besides underground
work the cost of all equipment de-
velopment of water power, buildings,
road construction and supplies Of all
kinds. Charging all these expenses
against underground development the
cost has been only $50 per foot.

are favorable for a large body of ore.
Accordingly a crosscut tunnel was
started at a point about 1900 feet
west of the shaft which cut the vein
after being driven about 400 feet. The
vein proved to be about 60 feet wide,
considerably broken up, with streaks
OF quartz heavily stained with oxidiz
ed iron, and frequent punches and
streaks of black manganese, the dis
tinguishing feature of the Hypotheek
vein in the main workings. A streak
of quartz, varying from 2 to or
inches thick, is being followed by
drifting along the footwall, the drift
now having been extended east about
125 feet. The foot wall is clearly de-
fined and in places is almost polished
by movement of the ledge. The vein
material is rather soft and breaks
easily, and is said to correspond to
conditions associated with the discov-
cry of large bodies of ore in other
mines of the district. The extension
of the drift will soon prove or dis
prove the theory regarding ore at the
junction of the three veins, and there
fore a situation is presented that will
be watched with exceptional interest.
All Equipment Ready for Use.
The face of the drift now has a
depth of about 500 feet and is being
run on a level corresponding to the
400 level of the shaft. Should the |
work develop a new and important |

former resident of this city. A good
many years ago he loaned the home
steader who entered the land 5000,
secured by mortgage on the land,
which was eventually foreclOsed, Mr..
Taylor buying in the land for $4,000,
its chief value being quite a large
body of commercial timber. Mr.. Tay-
lor seems to have known of the ledge,
but attached no great value to it.
Having occasion to mention it TO JOS
eph pepper, of Occur d'Alene, that
gentleman became interested and
brought it to the attention of Mr..
Lancaster. They visited the property
last month and secured the option as
stated.
The ledge is located in a section of
Oregon which many years ago was
quite an important producer of placer
gold. the section being within the
drainage of the Rogue. Illinois and
Applegate rivers The placer miners
frequently recovered platinum with
their gold and it is said that immedi-
ately following periods of high water
much more platinum was recovered
than during periods of low water.
This suggests an interesting theory
and indicates that Mr.. Lancaster
may have the mother lode" from
which came the platinum obtained by
the placer miners. Being exposed to
the weather most of the year, the vein
would naturally oxidize and disinte-
CRATE. permitting the torrents of high
water to wash away the decomposed
surface and depositing the metallic
platinum in the gravel of the creek
bed to be recovered in sluice boxes
Of the placer miners.
Platinum Production.
Practically all platinum is obtain
ed from alluvial deposits and is gem
orally associated with placer gold.
According to the estimate of the geo
logical survey, only TIA ounces of
platinum were produced in the Unit
ed States last year. distributed as fol-
lows: Alaska, 81 ounces; California |
$50; Oregon, %; Washington 8. SO !
FAR as known. no platinum is produce
'orm. This fact lends especial inter-
ast to the remarkable showing to be |
developed by Mr.. Lancaster and as
iociates in Josephine county, Oregon, |

,ated by the limited investigation, it
will mark new era in the production
