Crooks Corral mining push draws irrigation cash and faith
In Ayers office on Sept 8 the Welser Artesian Water Co elected M. MacGregor as president B. W Watlington as vice president P. A. Devers as secretary treasurer and agreed to buy a seal and solicit stock. About $1500 in stock exists with plans for Pennsylvania boring machinery costing around 1500. Farmers are slow to buy shares despite expected artesian water benefits. failures in nearby Boise and Baker City temper optimism. A New York Royal Baking Powder bill is discussed. local funds sink a well to aid teams between Malheur and Weiner. Proposals note rich gold bearing quartz at Crooks Corral with recent assays and reports of a promising mining camp amid active development near Crooks Corral and Salmon River.
