MATTERS OF INTEREST FROM
ONE OF THE RICHEST FARM
ING SECTIONS.
Tho colonization company that
quietly took opiums on a number of
farms In the lower I-ogan and Clack
anins river for $100 per aero and
inwards, have soeuitM a renewal of
tho options. The tlmo lime of those
options expired February 1, but tho
company contended that It was Im
possible to begin tho proposed Im
provements with tho allotod time on
account of the extreme bad weather.
Among tho things to bo done by l ho
colonization company, as announced
by its promoters were the establish
ment of some manufacturing Indus
trios at tho old government salmon
hatchery and the construction of a
railway with a possible Eastorn Ore
gon connection. An attempt was made
for some tlmo to keep theso options
a secret, but tho purposes of the colo
nization company and other details
connected therewith have become pub
lic property.
Among tho properties covered by
these options are the Mumpowor
place, the lands belonging to the Hut
tan and Baker heirs and tho big stono
quarles on both sides of the Clacka
mas near tho old government salmon
hatchery.
It Is reported that options were se
cured on these latter properties for
$114 per acre, a special offer being
mado on account of the known value
of tho rock quarries. Options were se
cured on other lands in tho vicinity at
an average of $100 per aero.
The site of tho old government
hatchery is an excellent location for
manufacturing plants, and consider
able power could bo genorated from
Clear creek as well aa the Clackamaa
river.
L. H. Klrchem of Logan, says that
the matter of these options Is no long
or a secrot, although an attempt was
made for lomo tlmo to keep the cm
tracts tied with a veil of secrecy.

"The way the story grew" was well
illustrated . by the rumor getting out,
that Clear Creek bridge at Stone was
carried away by the recent flood,, and
said rumor finding Its way into the
county paper. On account of which,
all on R. F. D. No. 2 have been having
a mail famine, and ita not very pleas
ant. The west end support of the
bridge, a sort of pier, was damaged
by the water washing around and out
underneath it a deep bole, leaving the
weight of the structure resting on one
corner. Fred Gerber, the supervisor,
promptly made temporary repairs un
til the water goes down. At present
the bridge is safe. The attention of
the County Court has been called to
that one weak point of this bridge in
the past, more than once, but no action
was ever taken. This is a case where
"an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure," and don't coat one
half as much. These little mountain
streams get on a rampage occasional
ly and are quite "swell" affairs. As
Is is now the current runs against
the pier on the west end.

The owners of the Ogle mountain
mines are feeling so Jubilant over tho
outlook of tho mines that they contem
plate the driving of another tunnel In
to the mountain. The ore taken out of
the present tunnel has given satisfac
tion and when tested somo time ago
in Portland assayed at $10 per ton.
Charles Albright of this city, who
Is Interested in the Ogle mines, re
ceived a letter Thursday from the
mines telling of the new plans, It
will mean an outlay of from $8000 to
$10,000.
The company will begin work on a
new tunnel very soon in which they
will place air compressors and ma
chine drills. This will bo the third
tunnel driven into the mountain. The
first was dug years ago by a company
who gave up tho proposition as non
payable. Tho second tunnel was
made by the Fairclough Bros, some
years later and was started lower
down tho mountain. An excellent pay
ledge was struck. The first tunnel
It was found, missed this ledge only
a few feet
The third tunnel Is to bo started fur
ther down the mountain than tho two
previous ones, and with tho use of
the air compressors and the machine
drills, will be driven further into the
mountain. The ledge is expected to
be much better there and a large
number of cross cuts are to be mado
which will make the work much easi
er. The writer of the letter to Mr. Al
bright mentioned that tho trip of the
boys to the mines in January, as it
was reported by many, was very much
exaggerated. Tho trip was a hard
one, but nothing compared to some of
the stories circulated.
