STAMP MILLS IN OPERATION Claims and Stakes Cover Numerous Hills, Machinery Is Being Pur chased, and Old-Time Ac tivity Being Renewed. EUGENE. Or.. Sept. 19. (To the Ed itor.) The -writer has Jut returned from a six-weeks' trip to the mines of Southern Oregon and Northern Cali fornia, leaving the Southern Pacific at Weed, the station where the branch road Is being built to Klamath Falls. He traveled 63 miles to Dorrls, took stage 12 miles to Teeters Landing for supper, then took the steamer Klamath 1 miles and arrived at Klamath Falls at 10 P. M. Between Porrls and the Falls are scattered the force of 760 men and 400 teams busy on the road which will soon be completed to the Falls city. This place is growing rap Idly, and bids fair to be by far the largest city In this part of the state. Leaving the Falls at 7 the next morn ing on stage we arrived at Bonanza ! for dinner. This Is a growing town In , the midst of a good stock country, and has a large three-etory brick school house, which would be a credit to a city 10 times its sle. We were soon on our way again, and at Bly took sup ' per at 6 P. M-, and arrived at Lake view at A. M., riding over rough. ' dusty roads continually for 23 hours, a ' distance of 110 miles. Lakevlew Is the county seat of Lake County, situated In Goose Lake Valley. It Is not built on Goose Lake, however, but some four miles or more away. A destructive fire a few years ago nearly wiped out the town, so upon rebuild ing it the citizens wisely made their business houses out of brick. The town now presents a solid appearance. In strong contrast with all the other towns in this section, they being near ; ly all of wood. Fifteen miles down the valley : brought us to the town of New Pine ' Creek, the nearest place to the mining j district of that name. The only peculiar ) feature of this town Is the fact that j it Is built on the line that divides Ore- gon and California, one-half being In each state. The part in Oregon-has : local option, and Jio saloons, while across the street, being in California, there are saloon. Each section claims ' to be doing the main business, but from present Indications, no great dif ference is noticeable in that respect. Wagon Road Through Canyon. A wagon-road winds its way up the deep canyon of Pine Creek four miles, where It ends, and a pack-trail takes a person into the heart of the mining district., four miles farther. A new one-stamp mill for ore-crushing le be ing erected. So far, little development work has been done, not much being known yet about the value or perma ' neney of the ledges. Our stay was very short, and we kept on the trail with two pack-horses. We went over the mountains almost due south and camped that night at the foot of the main range In the Fort Bidwell dis trict. Modoc County, Cal. We remained here about a week, prospecting the country, and found everything claimed. We saw a sample of the ledges, one I owned by the Bidwell Discovery Com pany. where two men were running a tunnel on a vein thre feet wide. It eaxrteo good values in gold. Stakes and claims covered the hills all around us. and It seemed that a few men owned the entire district. Not finding any chance for getting claims, we went out by way of old Fort Bidwell. eight miles south. Here . waa formerly a garrison of troops, who fought the Modocs 40 years ago. The old Government buildings are now used i for an Indian School, and 80 pupils are tn attendance. They are of the Modoo, Pitt River and Piute tribes. Leaving Bidwell. we started for the "Windy Hollow" mining district, situated about 0 miles northeast of Bidwell, In Lake ! County. Or., eight miles from a town I called Plush. We spent 12 days In this I district, prospecting the ground thor- oughly all around the camp, but flnd- leg nothing. Then we moved our cams- - I ' ' - j I . . .

ME NTS T s Into the heart of the district, and saw some of the leading claims. The district U composed of low roll ing; hills, covered with sagebrush. On these hills cattle and sheep had been grazing for 40 years or more. Four years ago some gold was found, and a new mining camp was started. There was no running water when we were there, but a number of springs supply drinking water to the small number of men who are at work there. A few individuals own most of this camp, and but little development has been done. The deepest shaft heard of was down 61 feet, and many of them were only 8 to II feet deep. Shaft 61 Feet Deep. One claim, the Jumbo Consolidated, it Is said. Is bonded for ISO. 000, and a small amount has been paid in cash. This has a shaft 1 feet deep on the ledge, and a number of openings and cuts. All show free gold by panning. It Is said to be a big ledge, but has been tied up In litigation. It is said that plenty of timber and water can be found near this district. There being no vacant ground In this, camp and the prices being high, we took the road for Lakevlew, and returned to the railroad at Weed. We took a brief look at the works of the Weed Lumber Company. It has the largest wood-working plant on the Coast, if not in the United States, consisting of a three-story building several hundred feet equare. containing the finest machinery for making anything and everything that can be manufactured of wood, and em ploying over 500 men. It is fully equipped, with electric lights, up-to-date fire protection and big fans and blowers, which carry all dust, dirt, shavings, etc., entirely away from the building. Instead of returning home, we went to Redding, the principal town of Shasta County. Redding is a neat, clean little city, with finely-graded streets, and good water supply and ex cellent school buildings. Several lines of stages connect with trains for all the gold camps in Its vicinity, and the big freight teams are constantly com ing and going. After a night's rest here, we took etage for French Gulch, 23 miles northwest of Redding. This place contains only a few hundred peo ple, but once was in the midst of a great placer camp and contained 10,000 inhabitants. It still does a thriving trade, as there are a number of rich quarts mines in the section. Six and eight- mule freight teams are constant ly coming and going. Placer Miners Still Active. We next went south into the Cotton wood district, 40 miles southwest of Redding, and looked over Arbuckle Gulch, which today has two eld miners' cabins in a fair state of preservation. They re still used during the Winter and Spring months by a few placer miners, who annually come here to take out a few hundred dollars, or perhaps a few thousand, still left in the numer ous ravines emptying Into the main gulch. Today a lot of horses and cattle are quietly grazing all over the place where 40 years ago was a busy, bust ling mining camp, with Its dally stage coaches coming in loaded with men and women, all eagerly searching for gold. At one time this dry, deserted looking place contained a town of over 10,000 people, with-its busy stores, busier saloons, dancehalla and gambling-houses. Here Is the almost ob literated wagon-road over which came the big freight wagons and large pack trains bringing in the necessary sup plies for the mines. On the lower part of Cottonwood Creek is a bar of gravel that hae not yet been worked. Below is Piety Hill, where a large hydraulic plant was in stalled and hundreds of thousands of dollars were annually taken out. When the anti-debris law was passed many years ago to prevent tailings from be ing run into the Sacramento River, all these gold-producere had to stop opera tions, and California, which headed the world's list, lost her pre-eminence. GEORGE A. DYSON. BUILD MANY RESIDENCES Grants Pass Property-Owners Erect 6 New Homes. . GRANTS PASS, Or., Sept. 20. (Spe cial.) This city Is enjoying an unusu ally large growth In its residence dis trict. There are now under course of construction, bytactual count. 62 houses. AH of these have been planned and provided for by the owners within the last 60 days. When completed and ready for occupancy, there will be an outlay of money expended for each one ranging from 11600 to 15000. Under such a growth, the local carpenters have been busy, and command 13.60 a day on an eight-hour schedule. The city is now completing a 4000 foot sewer Into Lincoln Park Addition, which will serve many new residences and cottages that are being built ta that part of town.

PUTS ON CITY AIRS Marshfield Proud of First Asphalt Pavements. OTHER STREETS PLANKED Coos Bay Metropolis Will Have Ex pended $125,000 on Street Im provements by End of Tear 1908. MARSHFIELD. Or., Sept. 20. (Spe cial.) Marshfield people are now en Joying their first asphalt streets and are greatly pleased with the wonder ful change wrought in the appearance of the city since the old and muddy streets were supplanted with modern pavements. Contractor W. O. McCann, of the Eureka Paving Company, who has the work In charge, has finished four blocks on Front street, and is now at work laying the pavement on C street from Front to Second street, at which corner is being built the new Chandler Hotel. There Is also to be an asphalt pave ment laid on A street, and for three blocks on Broadway to connect A and C streets. This practically gives all of the business district asphalt pave ment. Besides the asphalt pavement, a num ber of streets are being Improved with planking. On C avenue planking Is being laid for half a mile, and B street will be opened and extended for half a mile, so that the people In the west ern part of the city will have another street on which to reach the business section. The Marshfield City Council haa an other big undertaking in the redis ricting of the city for new sewer sys tems. It is expected to let the con tracts soon, so that work can be start ed early .In the Spring. The end of the year will show an ex penditure of about $126,000 in street improvements alone. This does not include the new sidewalks which have been laid privately by the property owners. Concrete walks in Marshfield a few months ago were a rare thing, but before the Winter is over they will be quite common. - The public improvement on the part of the city has encouraged individuals and many improvements and repairs have been made to business houses, all of which has a tendency to give the business district a better appearance North Bend also has extensive street Improvements on hand, and will great ly Increase the efficiency of the water service in order to give better fire pro tection. The new school in the southern part of the city is under construction and when finished will cost, with the amount paid for the lot, about $50,000. Work on the new Chandler Hotel is being pushed, the Coos Bay Gas & Electric Company is completing the large new power plant between Marsh field and North Bend, and altogether the bay cities are really quite busy. There 1b no boom on, but probably never before were more substantial Improvements of different kinds In progress. It is probable that a company will handle an automobile line between Roseburg and Coos Bay, and in this event the passenger and mail service from the interior will be greatly Im proved. WALNUTS IN HIGH FAVOR Hundreds of Acres to Be Planted In Yamhill. MMINNVILLE. Or.. Sept. 30. (Spe cial.) English walnut planting in this county will be done . on a grand scale during the coming; season. This year over 1000 acres were planted. A tract of 1000 acres has been platted near Amity and sold to be planted to walnuts. The Oak Hill farm near North Yamhill, re cently sold, has 40 or 50 acres in trees, a good portion of them bearing, and the remainder of the 1016 acres will .be planted to trees. The Jacobs-Stine Com pany, of Portland, has lately acquired title to the Riverside orchards tract ly ing east of this city and comprising 500 acres, which Is platted to sell to walnut planters.. Business and professional men and the neighboring farmers have set apart at least 1000 acres for Immediate walnut planting in the vicinity of McMlnnville, whose name the "Walnut City" is no empty one. since it will soon have 1S00 1 acres of walnuts In Its vicinity.

CROP OF POTATOES SHORT DRY WEATHER DECREASES THE MCIiTXOMAH SUPPLY, Yield of New Hay Will Be Smaller Than I'snal, but Large Surplus Is Being; Baled and Snipped. Latest crop estimates from Eastern Multnomah County indicate that there will be a shortage of potatoes this year, principally on account of the dry weather durlne; July. As far east as Rockwood, the soli is g-ravelly, and the farmers there have been used to early planting: so aa to secure advantage of all the moisture obtainable, as there is usually considerable rain up to Au gust 1, though the yield Is uniformly good and the potatoes are among; the best that come to the Portland mar kets. This year, however, the dry weather caught the crop before It had obtained Its growth, and the result is many small potatoes that will not be merchantable. Further eastward, where the soil. Is different, the crop will be better and larger, but it has Buffered there, also, especially the early plantings. Late plantings are looking well and prom ise a good yield If not caught by the frost before maturing. The -hay crop will be considerably Bhorter this year than last, but there is a surplus, which is being baled and shipped away. Nearly every farmer had a surplus, which was stacked In the fields, and hay-baling machines have been busy for the past six weeks In preparing it for shipment It Is es timated that the surplus of the county will be about 10,000 tons, all of which will find ready sale at prevailing prices. For the past two months there have been four threshing machines travel ing over Eastern Multnomah cleaning up this year's crop of grain, which gave a fairly good yield, as conditions were favorable last Spring for early sowing. The grain fields are small, but numerous, and it Is estimated by one of the machine owners that this year's yield will be 350,000 bushels of all kinds. Oats averaged 40 bushels to the acre; wheat 35. There Is a small acre age in barley. But little of the grain grown there is sold away from home, nearly all of It being used by those who raise It, much of It being ground into feed In the chop mills at Gresham and Falrvlew. Eastern Multnomah does not raise enough grain for its own use, excepc oats. All the merchants buy large quantities of rolled barley, shorts and bran in Eastern Oregon, the great dairy Interest requiring more mill feed than can be raised in that section. For a great milk-producing section, such as may be found between Mount TBrbor and the Sandy River, it is a fact that butter is Imported there in large quantities from outside creameries. Nearly all the milk is bought up fresh WHOLESALE ELECTRIC AND GAS FIXTURES, BARKi.iT' a. 408-412 Morrison. ENGINES AND BOILERS. A. H. AVER1LL MACH. CO.. S2i BaltnomU ENGINEERS.

This brings ready cash for all the milk, and the farmer with three cows and up wards sells all his milk and buys but ter. Creamery butter has been sold at all the stores bearing labels from Al bany, Tillamook, Damascus and Boise City. As an Indication of what the farmers receive for their fresh milk right at their own doors. It is reported by one of them that he received a check for one month recently for the" sum of $207, and he was milking but 18 cows at that time. That sum would give a gross Income of $11.50 from each oow, exclusive of the veals. Excepting a small portion of the milk produced, which goes to a creamery in Clackamas County, it all comes to Portland either to the creameries of this city or to the dairy associations which retail It to consumers here. WILL BUILD SEWER SYSTEM Brownsville City Council Also Pro poses to Establish Fire Limit. BROWNSVILLE, pr., Sept. 20. (Spe cial.) Brownsville is destined to take an other forward step- in the line of im provement if the acts of the City Coun cil are a criterion. Not only did the Council go on record as favorable to a proposed sewerage system for the entire business section of the city, at an esti mated cost of $4000, but appointed a committee to take hold of and push the matter to completion. Surveys have al ready been made. The Council also ordered an ordinance prepared establishing Are limits within which only fire-proof buildings may here after be erected and limits in the busi ness section where only cement side walks may be laid when the present board walks are rebuilt. Over. 25 new residences have been or are under construction and two large, two-story brick business blocks are well under way. The fruit cannery has also doubled Its capacity. A general air of prosperity and Improvement pervades both the city and country and demand for real estate is brisk. FINISH FORESTER TRAILS Paths Completed From Tollgate to Motett Meadows. PENDLETON, Or., Sept. 20. (Spe- cjak) An announcement of interest to the stockmen using the Wenaha Na tional Forest grazing privileges has been made by J. M. Schmitz, the super vising forester In charge, in that the Looklng-Glass Trail has been com pleted. This trail extends from the Tollgate to Moxett Meadows, through 12 miles of as rough country as is to be found in that part of the Blue Mountains, and its construction will result in a great sav ing of time and expense to the stock WHOLESALE LEATHER.

In spite of the fact that more than 100 new bouses have been built in Al bany this year, the demand for houses Is far beyond the supply. There are at least 25 families In Albany now hunt ing houses to rent, and in the past week a few families gave up the search in despair and left for South ern Oregon. To find houses for the newcomers Is the principal cause of worry now for Manager Dasent, of the Albany Commercial Club, and local real estate men. Albany Adds to School Room. ALBANY, Or.. Sept. 20. (Special.) Albany's public schools will open to morrow. Indications point to the larg est attendance in the history of the schools, though the enrollment will not be complete for perhaps two weeks, owing to the number of children em ployed in hopyards and in the prune orchards.
