ACCIDENT
IN MINE
W. J. Leever crushed by
falling rock—-Dies Tues
day evening—Victim was
a recent arrival
A fatal accident, resulting in the
death of W. H. Leever occurred at the
Opp mine near this place, Tuesday
afternoon.
A blast had been fired in one of the
tunnels and the men returned to work
in their usnal places when suddenly a
portion of the rock overhead which had
doubtless been loosened by the blast,
fell strixing Mr. Leever on the head,
crushing the skull, breaking one arm
and inflicting other injuries any one of
which would no doubt have been fatal.
Fellow workmen rushed to his aid
removing the rocks, only to find him
hopelessly crushed.
Medical aid was summoned and every
possible attention was given the un
fortunate man, but to no avail, after a
few hours suffering he died Tuesday
evening about half past nine o’clock.
Leever was a recent arrival in this
place and leaves a wife and two chil
dren to mourn his sad demise.

NOTICE
The parties who picked uy my crow
bars on the road west of Jacksonville
had better return them at once and
save trouble. The parties who took
the bar Monday August 23, are known
to me and will be arrested unless the
bar is returned immediately. The
crowbars were not lost and if the par
ties taking them away thought they
were finding something lost, they were
badly mistaken.

The Gray Eagle mine on Sardine
creek, now being operated by the Gold
Hill—Oregon Mining Co., composed of
Portland capitalists is now showing
some of the best values of any mine in
this district, and better than have been
shown for several years. Superinten
dent Ebner has opened the mine 70 feet
below the first tunnel and has struck a
body of ore which shows values running
from $6 to over $300 per ton. A ten
stamp mill is now on the way to the
property, the mill having been started
thither after the main stockholders and
directors of the company had examined
the ground carefully and fully verified
the reports of the superintendent.
The editor of the News has takon oc
casion to interview a number of prac
tical miners here who are well acquain
ted with the property and several of
whom have worked upon it, and they
all unite in saying thai if there are any
mines in this country —and it is easily
demonstrated that the mines are here
— that the Gray Eagle is one of them.
In the workings opened under Mr.
Ebner’s management a thirteen foot
vein has been found so far and still
the foot wall has not been reached.
The vein prospects evenly with the ex
ception of a rich streak, which produces
the $300 ore. From tests made the ore
is capable of being treated by the cya
nide process, and it is probable that a
cyanide plant will be installed there.
The Gray Eagle is not the only mine
injthe Sardine creek district that is at.
tracting attention. The Blackhawk on
Drummond Gulch, now being operated
by the Gold Age Mining Co. while only
developement work has been done so
far have shown up so well that the
owners have incorporated and have
done a great of road building, etc.,
looking toward a fuller exploirtation of
the property. They have ore enough
in sight now, is is claimed, to pay for
the mine at the rate the rock assays.
Th? Golden Age people are figuring
upon installing machinery for the re
duction of the ore and the mining bus
iness in the Sardine creek country
looks good.
J. H. Beeman is having work done on
the Lucky Bart group of claims and
from inside information were assured
that active operations will be commen
ced ¿here soon within the next few
weeks. The Lucky Bart has all the
equipments of a mine from machinery
to ore, if you want to take it that way,
or you can take it from ore to machin
ery, it has produced many thousand
dollars and there are many more to be
taken out. The man with the hammer
may tell you there are no mines in the
Gold Hill district' but just dodge that
hammer and watch us for the next few
months. —News.

PORTLAND LETTER
President Taft coming Oct. 2—
Wm. E. Curtis of the Chicago
Record-Herald says Portland
is best city on coast---Delega
tion of Japanese business men
here Sept 6
Portland, Or., Aug. 25(Special)
President Taft will be made the cen
ter of a big demonstration when he
comes to Portland October 2. There
will be no private entertaining for the
President, but he will be on view by
the public throughout his visit. There
will be a big parade in the President’s
honor, in which he will ride, and where
he may be seen by the thousands who
will want to have a look at the nation's
executive. President Taft will be ask
ed to make an address at the Armory in
the afternoon and attend a banquet at
the Commercial Club at night on Oct. 2d.
Plans for Sunday, which will be spent
here, are not made up yet, but the Presi
dent will probably attend church and
spend the remainder of the day resting.
Mayor Simon has named a prominent
committee of Portland people to ar
range the Preident’s entertainment.
On a tour of the Northwest to get
material for a series of letters to his
paper the Chicago Record-Herald, Wil
liam E. Curtis, probably the best known
correspondent in the world, was a Port
land visitor during the paBt week. In
discussing the Rose City, he said: “Port
land is the city on the Pacific Coast and
I would rather live here than in any
other city of which I know. Portland
is more mature than any of the big ci
ties of the West." These are strong
words, coming as they do from a man
who has travelled all over the world.
An event of great interest, especial
ly to the Pacific Coast, will be the visit
of 30 of the leading business menof Ja
pan, who will arrive on September6 for
a tour of 50 cities of the country. The
visitors are coming to learn of the re
sources and commercial methods of the
United States. The trip about the
country will be made in a spend idly e-
quipped special train at a cos', of $75,
000’ contributed by the business inter
ests of the United States. A commit
tee of prominent men has been named
to have charge of the visitors while in.
