Work in, around and about tlio
mill has been progressing as rap­
idly as the bad weather and the
various and sundry difficulties in ­
cident to the repairing of an idle
and neglected mill would perm it;
spoeial trouble being experienced
with the dam, which has washed
out several times since its repair
was attem pted, and it was fully
Completed only yesterday. Some
twenty men are employed altogeth­
e r , the m ost of whom are at work
:n the woods—the logging camp,
however, is not yet running, but
'doubtless will commence opera­
tions in a short time. The almost
unprecedented price of clear Port
Orford cedar in San Erancisco
would seem to be a most powerful
incentive to extra exertion on the
part of the managers to get off a
cargo or two beforo the market
“ breaks.”

. The immense deposit of sand
stone of the very first quality
which has lately been prospected
on Mr. Jo h n Blackloek’s place
ju st above Cape Blanco is likely
to figure at no very distant day
as not the least among the available
resources of Curry county. M ill­
ions of cubic yards of building
stone of a quality essentially in ­
ferior to this have been laid down
in San Francisco from B ritish
Columbia. One fact greatly in
favor of this sand stone is, that it
is entirely free from iron. The
quarry is of such magnitude as to
promise an almost inexhaustible
supply of stone of any desired
dimensions.
SLATS.
There is also in the vicinity of
the above mentioned stone quarry,
a slate q u arry from which speci­
mens have been taken, bu t we have
no present knowledge Of the proba­
ble extent of the deposit. As to
the question of quality the speci­
mens taken out of this mine have
been pronounced by experts as
indicating slato of excellent qual­
ity.
Considerable capital will of
course, be required to properly
develop these quarries, bu t once
opened, there is no telling to what
extent they may yet bo worked.
An im portant item to be consider­
ed preparatory to working these
deposits will be provisions for
shipping their products. A road­
way m ight be constructed to the
harbor at P ort O rford, or appli­

The resignation of Judge Wat­
son creates a vacancy which must
be filled at the ensuing election.
Each party has put a candidate in
the field. Tho office is non-politi­
cal and when Judge Watson was a
candidate scores of Democrats sup-
ported him for the reason that he
was considered the better lawyer.
Now the Democrats have nomina­
ted W. S. McFadden, of Benton
county, a thoroughly competent
lawyer, 38 years of age, practiced
law since 18(13, ten years in Ore­
gon. is how Oountv Judge of lie n
ton county,afinc genial gentleman
who will be an honor to t he bench,
one of Oregon’s rising young men.
Against him the Republicans have
nominated a man in good standing
well thought of among his neigh­
bors, wht has practiced law nearly
five years, 26 years of age, ho was
tho junior member of the law firm
of Thompson A Bean, only since
the death of Thompson has lie
practiced on his own account and
tried cases w ithout a strong hand
to keep him on the wing. It
would not be good policy to put a
boy on the bench, before whom
men must try cases. Bean is a
nice boy, but entirely too young,
w ithout sufficient knowledge of
law, and a limited practice only in
the local C ourtof his county. The
office is non-political will the Re­
publicans be as judicious in thtqr
choice in Coos county as tho Dem­
ocrats were? If so McFadden will
have a large m ajority.—Coos Bay
