A new corporation to be entitled the Oregon City Prospecting and Mining company, is in the process ot formation. The promoters of the scheme are Charles G. Miller and Robert Caufleld, ' and they have every assurance that the stock will soon be all taken, and are confident that it will prove a profitable investment in the end. The capital stock of the company is to be $30,000, divided into 50 shares of $000 each, and every stockholder to be an active work ing member of the corporation. In fact, it is to be community affair, governed by rules and regulations to be adopted. The object of the company will be to prospect and mine on the Yukon river and tributaries in Alaska and Northwest territory. After the organization and election of officers, a committee is to be appointed to purchase or.build a suitable river steamer of light draft and sufficient power to be supplied with twocenrtrifu- gal pumps and engines to run them, the pumps to be used for lifting sand and gravel containing gold, and water to wash the same in sluice boxes on board the boat, if found practical. It is estimated that $30,000 will properly pre pare and equip the boat for a sea voyage to the north of the Yukon, and besides leave a surplus for incidentals. It is the intention for one-half of the party to put in the time prospecting on the bars and along the tributaries of the Yukon, while thp remainder of the crew will operate the boat pumping and working gold-bearing sund and gravel. It is the intention to interest some good pros pectors, carpenters, boat builders, machinists, blacksmiths, etc., and they will also take along a physician and cook. No member of the company is to receive any compensation, in the wayj of wages or salary, except those em ployed to do work before the boat leaves Portland. All the members of the party will be subject to the authority of the 'Officers. All members failing to do I their proportion of the work, except in case of sickness , will forfeit their right I to the profits of the venture, in which all are to share alike. Mr. Miller has had this scheme under consideration for the past two months, CANErtAH. Dick Long, Fred, Will and Eugene Hedges returned from a trip to the mountains last Friday.
