MEN OF CAPITAL AND BRAINS WANTED Too Many “Jim Crow” Experts Alring Thelr Opinions for the Good of Mining Development—Derivation of the Name #Arizona’—Northwestern News. “Southern Oregon Is today the best gold- ‘mining region in the United States. Jack- son and Josephine counties produced last year nearly $1,000,000, and there is no reason on earth why the output should not be five or even ten times that amount this year,” says an experienced miner In the columns of the Portland Oregonlan. “These two counties contain more auriferous gravel of an accessi- ble nature than any other known section of the mineral world. The country is not only supplied with what is called ‘old channels,’ but contains more ledges and ledge crop- pings than any other section of equal area in the world. During the past forty years these two counties have produced over $40,- 000,000 worth of placer gold, and yet the sourco of that weaith 1s comparatively un- touched. If this ground were located in South Africa or up around the North pole, Where hardship or expense was incident, people would flock in there by the thousands, but because it can be reached by a Pullman car It is looked upon with suspicion. I know of 20,000 acres of ground In these two coun- tles that will prospect and pay from $1,000 to $10,000 per acre, with water on it. And the beauty of the thing is that the water is there In abundance. All it requires is capi- tal to develop it. In proof of the assertion 1 make that southern Oregon Is the best placer mining reglon In the world, T need only rofer to the fact that C. W. Ayres of Siskiyou county, California, who is the min- ing commissloner from Oregon at the Mid- Winter fair, 1s securing his gravel for exhi- bition mining purposes from southern qn\- gon to work under a California banner. This s the old story of placing Oregon products under a California label. His mine is In “alifornia, but his pay dirt is in Oregon. Southern Oregon, in addition to having un- lirhited ‘pay dirt,’ has a debris outlet in the Rogue river will never be hampered by legislation, such as the California miner has to contend with, One thing that has retarded mining development in southern Oregon more than any other Is its aces - ibility and the hospitality of its people. It has been: possible for the modern ‘Jim Crow mining expert to get in and .nnl n{ the country and air his opinions withou protest. We have had too many of these 80- PAlled experts already. What wo want In that country is men of capital and blulln‘u, men who would manage a mine as they Would any mercantile enterprise, and to such Thén success 1s as certain as it would be In o bank. I am confident that the time will come, in a few years at most, when single Thines in southern Oregon will employ more Men than any other single industry in the Mate. Every mmo in southern Oregon today that 1s being worked under Intelligent and honest direction is [\.ty“\‘g lulll«:xul;::"‘:-':Illn;: . Among those who v de :"n:ll:‘iu::‘:‘lymhnl\»: T might mention James and Vincent Cook, who clean up from $10,000 to $30,000 a s¢ n; Captain Sturgis, with $20,000; Johm C. Lewls, cleaning up from $1.600 to §3,000 per week, With a two-stamp mill; Penumbra Kelly's mine, which has av- eraged $6,000 a month for more than a year; the Wimer Bros.' mine, near (ll‘lll\l‘ll Pass, from $20,000 to $100,000 per season; Simmons & Co. of the same place, about $25,000 Ennls & Cameron, on Rogue river, from 0,000 (.u 95,000 a season; Hull & Beck of Grant's Pass, from $6,000 to $10,000 a season; Willlam Bybee, from $5,000 up, and many hers of Josser note. Those mines are all paying well, simply because they are well managed. Be- sides those already mentioned there are se eral large enterprises under way. John [V Lewls of Portland has 260 men at work on a ditch in Josephine county. Captain J. A. Brown of this city has another nearly as large, while a Chicago company has just completed the largest pumping outfit In the world for the same purpose.’ BIG STRIKE IN THE EMMA G. There has been another big mining strike and, according to the news received, it is by all odds the greatest discovery ever made in this section of the west, says the Laramie Boomerang. The strike referred to has just been made in the Emma G. mine, twenty miles west of Laramie. This lead was discovered last sum- mer and there was a great rush to the loca- tion. The ore was very rich then, but, after sinking a short distance, the original discov- ery ran out and the vein was lost. Then they went down the hill and began a tunnel, expecting to strike the lead after going in. They have been at work . ore all winter, and the tunnel is now in 135 feet. It is at this distance that they encountered the lat- est strike. They have gone through the vein, which proves to be twenty feet wide, with perfect walls on either side. George Morgan and Thomas Morgan brought some of the ore from fourteen different places across the vein and this number of assays is belng made at the university. J. H. Watkins made a test of the ore and secured a result of $411 per ton of gold. All the ore Is not so rich as this, but Tom Morgan, who s an experienced miner, says they have it sure, and plenty of it. The ore is supposed to run from $40 to $400 per ton. Some ‘ore that they had been throwing on the dump and which was at one time considered worthless has been assayed and found to run from $40 to $53 per ton. The 135-foot tunnel has been cut in through almost solid rock. The body of ore where they have struck it is about sixty feet from the surface. The walls aro sald to be as fine as ever seen. There is a clay-like substance between the ore and the walls on either side, and the rock falls away from the walls and leaves them as straight and smooth as possible. In a short distance further they will strike the chimney, from which they think the first discovery was mado, and around this it is expected they will find some very rich ore. HOW ARIZONA WAS NAMED, “The name ‘Arizona’ is from a beautiful old Asztec tradit'pn, which teaches that the earth is the oftspring of the sky; that long prior to the present race of men the earth was peopled by a race of glants, who in time died off, leaving the earth uninhabited,” says ex-Governor Zulick of Arizoma. “After a long time a celestial virgin, a child of one of the thirteen great dieties who rule all things, came down to the earth, and, being well pleased, remained for a iong time its sole occupant. Once when in deep sleep a_drop of dew from heaven fell upon her and she bore two children, a son and a daughter, from whom have sprung all the people of the earth. The name of this celestial virgin was Arizunna, ‘the beautiful or son-beloved malden.’ As early as 1540 a Spanish exp dition visited Arizona and carried with it back to Mexico wonderful accounts of the country, Other expeditions succeeded, and in 1560 a Spanish explorer and Jesuit fathers made a settlement at Tucson, this town now belng the second oldest in the United States, being settled only five years after St. Augus- tine, Fla. The mission church of San Xavier del Bac is the pride of Arizona. It was com- menced in 1768 on the site of one of the samb namo which had long been in decay and which 1s supposed to have been built about 1598. The present structure is a com- mingling of the anclent Moorish and Byzan- tine styles of architecture, the outside being castellated and surrounded by a dome and two minarets. When inside the church the beholder is foreibly struck with the display of skill in its structure, its beauty and grandeur and the taste displayed in its adornment. The interlor has the form of the Latin cross and the walls and ceilings are tastefully frescoed and decorated. Four largo fresco paintings are exocuted with raro skill. The four evangelists in sculpture adorn the main altar and the scroll work Is covered with gold leaf, which in its early days when fresh and bright must have pre- sented a beautiful, grand and gorgeous sight to the wild Indians, who had never seen any- thing of like character. In former days there were large quantities of gold and sliver ornaments in the church, some of which have been lost and stolen; among the valu- | ables left, however, are ono full set of cross, several silver candlesticks Douay bible of the date 1692. When it is remembered that this old, venerable and wonderful church was commenced 125 years ago in a wild Indian country, over half a century before Indianapolis was first settled, admiration must be accorded the great en- ergy, perseverance and indomitable will of the old Jesuit and Franciscan fathers who planned, carried out and so successfully ac- complished this great work. It is the only remaining edifice left by a former century and age."” and a A RICH VEIN, The strike made in the Banner tunnel a short time ago is proving to be the greatest that this county has known for many years, if ever, says the Anaconda Standard. This tunnel has been running nearly three years for the Banner mine, and is now in 3,000 feet. The vein that promises to be such a bonanza was discovered two or three weeks ago, and {s one that does not show any ore to speak of on the surface. The find was entirely unexpected, and is a cross vein. Its course is northwest and southeast, while all of the mines in that country opened up run in the contrary direction. The vein, which the tunnel is now follo ing, Is from five to eighteen inches wide, and the ore o rich that the truth would not be belleved. The assays show it to go from 400 to 2,000 ounces per ton. This is much richer than the famous Banner, which milled all the way from 200 to 315 ounces per ton. When the tunnel reaches the Banner the Elmira company will have two great mines opened up at depths of over 600 feet and will put on a large force of miners and start up the mill. When working the full quota of men more than 100 are kept in the mines. All of the lumber for the bullding of the South Africa mill is now on the ground and the work of ercction has been resumed. Placer miners are waiting very anxiously for the season to open. The longer spring is delayed the shorter will be the season. A DAMAGED DAM. The Cache La Poudre reservoir, two miles northeast of Timnath, suffered considerable damage from high winds. The drifting ice was forced against the head gate, crushing in the stone abutments of the dam and pushing the steel screw plates of the gate out of shape; also clogging the gates with 4 drift ice s0 as to interfere with their work- ing. The reservoir covers 480 acres of contains twenty-six feet of water and feeds No. 2 canal, under which Is the best farming district in that section of Colorado, and if by this accident is should be necessary to draw off the water to make the necessary repairs it would result in a loss to crops under the ditch amounting to betwecn $76,- 000 and $100,000. But the dam is being strengthened, and it Is thought that with the assistance of a diver the debris can be cleared and the damage repaired without entailing this loss. THIRTY MILES OF COAL FIBLD. Don Carlos Conant, a wealthy resident of the state of Sonora, Mex., is visiting his family In this city at their fine residence on Front and Elm streets, says the San Fran- cisco Chronicle. Having been born and raised In Sonora he is thoroughly familiar with the coal fields of that region, and spoke enthusiastically of their extent and quality. The coal flelds are about 100 miles from Guaymas, where a large area has been and is now being prospected with diamond drills. The reports of the engineers on anthracite deposits formerly stated that they were near the surface, but not long ago while the own- ers of the Taramara silver mine were sinking to get under the old works they found at a depth of 430 feet a twelve-foot vein of the st coal in the state, which subsequent prospecting with diamond drills indicates covers an area fully thirty miles in diameter, Los Bronces being the center. The best deposit, however, is at Las Barrancas. The San Marcial flelds are the ones at first reported, and they aro extensive. A Call- fornia company Is now prospecting there. NEBRASKA. The O'Nelll city council is figuring on the advisability of purchasing the electric light plant. The Sons of Veterans of Central City are preparing to present a war drama to the public. Bladen people believe in patronizing home Industry. Seven little girls wheeling seven land, priest’s vestments, two gold cructs, a silver | baby buggles contalning seven lnfants passed in procession down the main street of the town the other da: The Wahoo tent of the Knights of the Maccabees took in nine members the other night. Craig claims to have shipped move hogs last year than any other town in Burt county. Rev. Mr. Black of Cedar Rapids has re- signed his pastorate and will go to Chicago April 1. Dr. Dowart, father of the sheriff ot Salino county, died at his home in Friend at an ad- vanced age. There is talk of transforming the big barn of the Ponca Horse and Land company into a canning factory. Tho Christians of Broken Bow have moved their church building and will erect an ad- dition to the structure, Thieves entered the Union Pacific depot at Miller and secured a little over $30 to pay them for their trouble. Rev. B, L. Ely has resigned the pastorate of the Congregational church at Red Cloud, but has not decided where he will take up his work again, Since the talk of another rallroad in north- eastern Nebraska five farms in Dakota county have changed hands in a week. Real estate is on the boom. Twenty head of cattle were precipitated into the river by the collapse of the Wal- worth bridge in Custer county, but not a single one was drowned. Tho county officials of Cheyenne county who were arrested on the charge of forging a county warrant have been dismissed from custody on the motion of the complainant. A Central City youth who played marbles on the streets on Sunday was run over by a wagon and barely escaped death. The Sun- day school teacher can draw his own lesson. A farmer near Weeping Water tapped fitty maple trees on his farm this spring and Is making sugar. Nebraska may be- come a second Vermont in the maple sugar industry, The southern Nebraska trotting circuit dates have been arranged as follows: Su- perior, August 21, 22 and 23; Nelson, August 23, 20 and 30; Geneva, September 5, 6 and 7; Hebron, September 18, 19 and 20; Edgar, September 25, 26 and 37, Clarence Kouts of Ponca looked into a can of powder into which he had thrown a match to see why ‘it didn't go oft.” He saw, but it will be some time before he sees anything else. The explosion burned off all the hair he had on his face and some of the cuticle as well. - The platform of thé Deople's party of perior in the municlpal campaign is abatement of the saloon license from $1 a year; no man appolnted or confirmed for city marshal who is a frequenter of saloon gambling dens or any other form of vic no toleration of gambling dens; houses of prostitution driven out and every law strictly enforced.” It is said that the town of Cralg is in an embarrassing conditlen. It seems that no levy has been made upon the taxpayers, and it is now too late to-remedy the error. The village has less than $20 to Its credit to run the municipal affairs 0f the town for the coming fiscal year, Wnd prospects are now good for bonding the' place to raise funds to meet the deficit. A Nebraska City doctor was called to at- tend a family and '‘found a serious state of affairs. The father s confined to his bed with a complication of disorders and the four children are aflicted with measles. In addition the mother is blind, and the whole family is in & condition of utter destitution. Neighbors have been doing what they can to relleve their suffering. THE DAKOTAS, The bill opening the Yankton reservation was ordered reported favorably by the In- dian committee. A mass meeting was held at Redfield last week to consider the advisability of ex- perimenting with a rain-making project. They will probably give it a trial Colonel E. W. Foster, late Indian agent at Yankton agency, is in Chicago arranging for the publication of plats and survey of the Yankton Indian reservation, soon to be opened for settlement. The Northern Pacific is making a test of the relative values of the native lignite coal and eastern coals on the basis of evap- | by oration, or how many pounds of steam can be secured per pound, or per ton, of the different coals used. The test is being made by using a carload each of Sims and of Lehigh lignite coal, and a carload of Hock- ing valley, ern coal. It is believed that nearly 50 per cent of the bill for coal for the stationary boilers and stoves used on the Northern Pacific can be saved by the use of the native coals. A flock of sheep turned out to graze upon the prairle grass in Brown county, instead of doing so sought the cultivated fields to feed upon the Russian thistles, eating the prickly pest with great - relish. Green or dry, the thistle is a favorite with the sheep. One of the richest gold strikes ever made in Custer county has been made on the 100- foot level in the Old Charley mine, four miles southwest of Custer. The ore is a white quartz, liberally sprinkled with fine gold, bismuth, telluride and sylvanite. The extent of the ore is about twenty inches in width, COLORADO. The rush for the La Plata district has commenced. A gold strike s reported near the South Park road. A large body of silver-lead ore has been struck in the Collins mine, Idaho Springs. It is reported that the contract has been let for a 200-ton concentrator at Yankee hill, It is claimed that free gold in sulphides has been encountered in the Ella C. at Bal- tour. Leasers in the Topeka mine, Central City, have struck ore running thirteen ounces gold per ton, The strike in_ the Centennial at Yankee hill has widened out to three feet. It is yellow copper ore assaying high. The Little Book Cliff Coal company has reduced its force on account of the mines closing at Aspen and other points. A big tunnel will probably be run from Freeland to tap the Lamartine vein, on the castern part of Clear Creek county. The strike in the Harrisburg on Aspen mountain averages 100 ounces of silver with a streak carrying 300 to 800 ounces. Another engine and train crew was put on the Cripple Creek road to help forward materials. The track is open for twelve miles. Spring has opened up in the Grand val- ley, the Grand Junction News, the frost out of the ground, and general farm work I8 under way. The black magnetic iron found in sand at Garrison is found to contain gold small quantities, assaying from $1 to Quite an excitement is on. The Union Placer company will operate extensively at the mouth of Lotters' canon, near Tin Cup, where a large deposit of placer gold is supposed to have been caught. The 1sco on the in sheep men are beginning to realize the Plateau valley in Mesa county is no place for them and are fast withdrawing their flocks, while the settlers are organized against any newcomers. Willlam F. Patrick of Leadville has leased ton acres of the Atlantic Cable property at Rico. He will erect a concentrator of twenty-five tons capacity at first. About twenty-five men will be employed at the start, The students in the freshman class of the State Agricultural college who take the mechanical course will be put to building engines of five and six-horse power next term. Such training will make practical mechanics and will be generally com- mended by the public. The Frank and Fanny Fisher lodes have cut & veln of splendid quartz which is two and one-half feet wide. The claims are in the new Front range district, ten miles northwest of Colorado Springs, opposite Ed- gerton. An expert who has examined the property expresses the bellef that the whole yeln averages $10. An assay Is being made on specimens.

The Sheridan Post ‘states that large bands of cattle are congregating along Tongue river and against the fences in that locality, and that somethng imust be done for them or there will be heavy losses. Word has reached Cheyenne from Wash- ington that the commissioner of Indian affairs will soon advertise for bids for the lease of the mineral hot springs in the Big Horn basin in the northern part of the state. A lease will be given for five or ten years and the successful bidder will be required to erect sultable buildings for tho accommoda- tion of the public. It is estimated that in the neighborhiood of 5,000 people ‘visited the springs last season, and with the needed improvements, such as are required by the d artn t for the comfort of tourists, the place would at once become a noted pleasure and health resort. When Buffalo Bill gets his stage line in operation from Sheridan west through the basin a trip to the springs can be combined with a visit to the Yellow- stone national park. OREGON. A pet bear helps to get out the Nehalem Journal. Preparations for lagging on the Siuslaw are of more than usual magnitude.
