W. L. Beckner, who s extensively in
terested in the Blue river mines, has re
turned home after a short visit of invis-
tigation, and is highly elated over the
prospects. He believes thht it will be
one of the richest mining camps on the
coast. Mr. Beckuer was informed that
the Lucky Boy Mining Company were
cleaning up about $250 per day from the
run at their mil:, and it was believed
that that fully as much more is being
lost in the concentrates. However, this
loss will be obviated in a few days, as
apparatus for saving the concentrates
wilt be placed in position. The Browns,
ville Company are having a route for a
wagon roadup the Calapooia to the mines,
which is a short and feasible route. This
will give a wagon road from both En
gene and Brownsville. Mr, Beckner
and his partner, J. E. McCauley, of
Portland, will soon begin tunnel work on
their property, running in from both the
Blue river and Calapoia sides. Friday's
Eugene Guard mentions the location of
hree mining claims in the Blue rivert
district by J. R. Evans and W. L. Beck
ner. A number of Oregon City and
Clackamas county people have sunk con
considerable money in developing the
Blue river district.
