WEAITH IX THE FORESTS.
The Great Value of Douglas Fir and
of Red Cetlar.
TIMBERING in Oregon Is a
leading industry. The timber
resources of the state are
nore extensive and more val
uable than those of any other
state in the Union, except
Washington. One-fourth its
entire area Is covered -with
Immense forests, many of
whose trees rise to heights of
300 and 330 feet A circumfer
ence of 30 feet at the base is
JffSlElr comn,on- -A- competent au
I IseL thority has estimated that the
'rtSiSttT forests nf tho state oontain
1X0,000.000,000 feet of timber
an aggregate absolutely in
conceivable to any human
mind. The timber of the state
has hardly been touched, and it Is not
likely that the present numerous saw
mills will in the present generation make
appreciable headway toward depletion.
The varieties of timber found In the state
are red fir. yellow fir. white flr, sugar pine,
yellow pine, white pine, bull pine, black
pine, pure pitch pine. Alaska pine, epruce,
cedar, larch, tamarack. Juniper, birch, oak,
yew, cottonwood, ash, maple, alder, wil
low, elm, mountain mahogany, myrtle,
dogwood, white cedar, chlncapin, balm and
cherry. On the eastern side of the Cas
pade mountains pine predominates, while
on the western side fir Is the leading wood.
The chief commercial woods of Oregon
are the red, yellow and white flr, and the
red cedar. For certain purposes lir has no
equal. Masts made of "Oregon pine" (flr)
have a world-wide reputation and are used
in all parts of the world. For bridgebulld
Ing, and for all other purposes where
large, long and comparatively light tim
bers are desirable, it is superior to all
other varieties. The Douglas fir of Oregon
has the strength of oak, with nearly the
lightness of cedar. It is straight, durable,
and free from knots. No single wood can
be put to so many uses and so fully an
swer all requirements. A recent test of
the breaking pressure of fir. Eastern oak
and Eastern pine, the pieces of wood hav
ing been four feet long and 2x4 inches in
dimensions, made the following showing:
To break the fir required a test of 4320
pounds; Eastern oak, 2I2S pounds; and
Eastern pine, 1610 pounds. A stick of red
fir, an Inch square, resisted 2000 pounds,
while other woods broke at 1300 and 1500
pounds pressure.
The mountains of Western Oregon are
covered with fir forests. The stumpage
will yield on an average from 50,000 to
200,000 feet per acre. The trees for miles
grow so thickly as almost to defy penetra
tion. Tho red fir Is found growing In
greatest abundance at altitudes of less
than 600 feet It often measures 200 to 250
feet in height. The fiber is very hard and
uniform, with an equal growth all around
the tree. The timber is vastly superior to
all others for bridgebullding purposes.
The yellow fir is found In higher altitudes.
It Is softer than the red, but its lasting
qualities, when exposed to weather, are
better. It is superior for flooring and fin
ishing timber. It is admirably adapted to
building purposes and interior finishing
work. The white fir is less valuable than
the others. It is not found In large quan
tities. It is used principally for piling.
Bed cedar has no equal for shingles.
Oregon's timber exhibit at the world's
fair was entered as a whole In competition
as an Instructive, collective, comprehen
sive and commercial exhibit of woods In
their native and manufactured state. This
exhibit secured the first medal in the for
estry department Another important
award made on the Oregon exhibit was
for manufacturing paper from spruce
pulp. Two large paper mills are in oper
ation in the state, and their output is
very large and of very fine quality.
The saw-mill Industry in the state has
been comparatively well developed. The
great number of streams coursing the
timber belt makes the forests easily avail
able and offers sites for jnllls immediately
adjacent to their log supply. There is a
number of large merchant mills in the
state, w hicli saw for the foreign and coast
trade. There are six or seven of these
mills on the Lower Columbia, five or six
on C003 bay, and two on the Umpqua
liver, and se'eral at Tillamook bay. The
general commercial depression has been
felt in the lumber trade, and has had the
effect of curtailing the output for export
But conditions now seem to be improving,
and the industry is assuming its former
activity. Mills in Portland and vicinity
until recently found a market in Denver,
Salt Lake City, Omaha, and as far as
Chicago. But railroad complications had
the effect of shutting off cheap transpor
tation, and shipments w ere interrupted. It
Is now announced, however, that a low
rate has again been made, and the effect
will doubtless be to stimulate greatly the
lumber trade.
The saw mill Is found in every city and
town, and In all the Important timber cen
ters of the state. It is stated that there
is about $15,000,000 invested in the 269 saw
mills, 40 shingle mills, and 52 woodworking
establishments of Oregon. The average
annual output is 500,000.000 feet of lumber,
300,000,000 laths and 100.000,000 shingles.
STREAMS AnoiAD IX FISH.
The Salmon of the Columbia Tront
in Mountain AVuters.
JISHING in Oregon waters has
for a great many years been a
leading industry. The various
rl ers and ocean inlets of in
state abound in food fishes, and
the mountain streams, alive with
nnny denizens, are an irresistible
attraction to the sportsman. The
chief commercial fish is the sal
mon, and on the Columbia river, wlvre
salmon-canning had its birth, it ranks
high as a wealth-produung pursuit. Thou
sands of persons are engaged in salmon
catching and packing. It is the chief
source of Income to all residents along
the Columbia. The Royal Chinook sal
mon of the Columbia Is know n the world
over as a most delectable article of food,
and easily brings a higher price than sim
ilar products from any other place. Sal
mon are taken in seines, gillnets and
traps. The letter is a device by which
the tlsh, bound up-stream In the rivers,
are led In to an enclosure, at the end of
which a large wheel, with buckets, is in
motion, driven by the current The fish
once In the buckets, are lifted by the
wheel and deposited on a scow, or "other
high and dry place. It is the habit of the
iMlmen to migrate at certain easons In
"sofaeols from salt to fresh water, where
they sek spawning grounds. It is while
In transit that they are caught in greatest
abundance. Indeed, they have been
taken from, the Columbia In such enor
mous numbers that the supply oach year
is becoming less, and In consequence the
ranual output has fallen off from 609,003
oasea In 1SS8 to 453.000 In 1SH. Various
maasMres have been devised for replenish
ing the sunk, and to that end the govern
ment has cfetnbllhed a hatchery on the
Cterktunas river, a tributary of the WI1
Itiuette. which is engaged in artificial
propagation. The state of Washington
ifcas provided for the location of another
hatchery on the headwaters of the Co
lumbia, and it is likely that the govern
ment will likewise cy?ist further in the
offort to maintain th supply. The dlmen
tfons which the salmon industry has at
tained in Oregon will be understood when
It Is suited that on the Columbia river
about (SCO fishermen and factory hands
are employed, and a capital of S2.i00.000
is engaged. Besides, there are cannon
at Atoea bay. Nesluoea bay, Coos bay,
and THlamook. It should be added that
fresh salmon is largely consumed botn
at borne1 and abroad. Oregon ships an
nually to the Xat upwards of 1.0.fv9
powexte. Th h&UU of the salmon are

people on the Columbia river. It is prob
ably the largest known fish caught with
hock and line. Its average weight is
about 100 pounds, and at times this aver
fage Is very greatly exceeded- Fish have
been caught weighing 00 pounds. The
method of capture Is to lower a line with
out bait to which is attched a number
of hooks. The sturgeon comes in eontact
with the hcoks, which, in his efforts to
escape, become further imbedded in his
flesh, and he is hauled from the water.
The flesh of the sturgeon may belikened
unto halibut It is palatable and nu
tritious. The ocean waters off the Oregon coast
are inhabited by an abundance of deep
sea fish; and the mountain streams
abound In trout and other gamy fish,
that are a source of unfailing delight to
the fisherman. Smelt and shad are cap
tured in the Columbia in large numbe.-s.
and, in season, are a common article in
local markets. The cod is by some con
sidered superior even to salmon. Rock
fish, deep-sea perch and other varieties
are abundant Oystera, clams, shrimps
and crabs arc vers' numerous In the bays
of the ocean.
Complete details of the fishing business
In Oregon are likely to be interesting only
to those who have or desire to obtain
special knowledge cf the subject; there
fore, space that might be devoted to this
Important topic Is abridged. The ordinary
inquirer, however, will be interested in
knowing that all streams in the state
contribute in some measure to the sup
ply of food fishes, ?nd every, person who
is able to muster hook, line and suitable
bait can readily secure his share. Moun
tain streams are alive with gamy trout
and fall easy prey to the Eporlsman.
There Is no sport more Interesting than
talmon-trolllng. And even catching crabs
offers amusement as well as excite
ment to the thousands of sojourners at
seaside resorts during the summer.
GOLD IX THE HILLS.
Two Very Rich. Mlnlnc Regions
Other Important Minerals.
INING in Oregon has assumed
great activity during the past
two years The deposits are
generally gold, and, following
the depression of silver, nros-
Y. pectors have fairly covered the
v lulls in the mineral regions, and
'' the industry has been given
vast impetus. The past two years have
been notable, too, in the Introduction of
more exact and scientific processes in
mining operations, and in the profitable
and successful development of quartz
ledges rather than placers. The Oregon
mining districts of special activity are
in the Rogue river valley and adjacent
hills, and in the Blue mountain reglor, .n
the counties of Baker, Grant and Union,
in Eastern Oregon. The conspicuous fea
ture of the quartz veins of both districts
isthatthelr ores are generally free-milling.
In most of the rich gold mines of Eastern
Oregon the veins are true fissures, and
the ore bodies are continuous. It was
the remarkably rich ore found In the gold
free-milling veins of Baker 'county that
caused the first development of the quarts
ledges of the Baker City mines, and while
sulphurets and other base gold ores ha -.2
been uncovered a3 depth In these old free
milling mines is attained, there are stii!
today in this district large numbers of
prospects partially developed where the
gold is extracted without the aid of con
centrators or smelters.
The history of all mining sections dates
from the discovery of gold-dust or nug
gets In the beds of some of the Ideal
streams. Gold is usually found in the
beds of streams for the reason that it is
in the sands or gravel of running bodies
of water that mining men most naturally
look for gold. While the first discoveries
are made In the beds of running streams,
the rich placer mines subsequently un
covered in the district are often located
in tho bed of some prehistoric river, the
waters of which have long since been di
verted to other channels. The difficulty
of working claims In the bed of a live
stream of water is the trouble always ex
perienced in icgulatlng the flow which Is
necessary to allow the miner to dig down
In tne bed of the stream to bedrock. Gold
being heavier than the other deposits
with which It is alweys cssoclated, by the
law of specific gravity alone undergoes
a constant shifting prccess through gravel
or sand, until it finally reaches a solid
stratum of rock. It is this stratum
which forms the bedrock of all streams
in which gold is found, and It is the dif
ficulty of reaching this bedrock which has
prevented the working of what are known
to be some of the richest gold depot's
in America. In the Pritchard creek
placers in the Coeur d'Alene mining dis
trict are deposits of gold of fabulous
wealth. Although vast sums of money
have already been expended in the at
tempt to work these deposits success
fully, the principal gold placer mines of
that district today are "pockets," which
claim the attention of a handful of men,
where the mining district would give em
ployment to hundreds of laborers could
the solution of the problem of reaching
the bedrock deposits here be made a prac
tical Issue.
The greatest discoveries of placer gold
in Eastern Oregon have been made in the
prehistoric river bed now known as the
old river channel. This can be distinctly
tracd for a "distance of 80 miles, and
along its course have been found nuggets
weighing from a fraction of an ounce up
to over 170 ounces. The most notable of
these nuggets reached a value of 5500,
$SO0, $1500, $2100, $2400 and $3200 respectively.
This last was taken out of Gimlet gulch
in ISTi) by J. W. Virtue, the veteran mining
man of the Baker City district
Following the placer-working period cf
a mining section comes the active search
for quartz ledges. Working up the
streams in which the placer deposits are
found, the miner constantly has his eyes
open for the "mother lode," from which
this placer gold has been washed. The
gold which is found in the beds of streams
has been washed from quartz ledges a
mile or two, or possibly hundreds of
miles distant. At some point along the
course of the stream the watchful glance
of the miner discovers the "float." which
Indicates to him that ho has hot far to
look for gold quartz. The development of
these quartz ledges, however, requires
the aid of capital and a higher degree of
skill than was nece-ssary to wash out
placer gold; and it !s this feature or work
ing gold quartz that gives to quartz-mining
its stability as a legitimate business
enterprise, while placer-raining, On the
small scale In which It is usually han
dled, Is the unsettled calling of the
typical miner In which the gambling In
clination is the principal Incentive for
the necessary affort required to work the
claim.
The great mining dlstrct of Eastern
Oregon is covered by the tributaries of
the John Day. Grand Honde, Powder,
Burnt and Malheur rivers. This belt is
included within an area of about 130 miles
In length by .about 90 miles in width. The
early placers of the Canyon City mines
were located within this belt as were all
the subsequent rich finds In that part of
the state east of the Cascades. In the
period of 40 years since the first discov
ery of gold Jn Baker and Union counties,
it is estimated thet these placers have
yielded no less than $20,900,000 in gold. The
placers of Willow creek, although less
limited In extent, hae made equally as
satisfactory a showing. The Rye valley
placer mine, in this district has yielded,
since 1SS2, an average annual output of
I10O ounces of gold.
The most famous free-milling gold mine
in Oregon today is the Virtu, located
within a few miles of Baker City. This
mtne was first opened over 20 years ago,
and, with the exception of short periods
of inactivity, it has been constantly
worked since that time. It is estimated
that the yield of this single mine has been
no less than $2,000,000. The White Swan,
another rich mine of this district yielded
$52,796 during the past year, while the
Bonanza, a close second, produced for
Its -owners during the same time 1.576 40.
Baker City is today the leading mining
center of the rich goW and silver de
posits of Eastern Oregon. The districts
of Pine Creek aad other rich raining en
ters tributary to Baker City have been
so frequently .vjliton up, that any de
tailed account of these mines is not
Q
m
cal'ed for in the present instance. It can
be stated, however, that lit the Pine Creek
district today are some of the most com
plete mining plants on the coast, and
mining in the entire district tributary
to Baker has reached the important stage
of being termed one of the principal Indus
tries of Eastern Oregon. It is estimated
that the output of the mines of Baker
and Union counties- alone during 18rt
yielded no less than $1,400,000, a gain of
about $280,000 over the value of the output
of these mines during the previous year.
This output was principally in gold, as the
low prevailing price of silver during the
past two years has prevented the work
ing of the silver deposits of Eastern Or
egon at a profit to the mine-owner.
An important mining camp is the Crack
er Creek district about 35 miles long.
The chief mines are the North Pole, the
Eureka and the Excelsior and Columbia,
This district at one time attracted great
attention, but the ore was in places so
rebellious as to make profitable reduction
exceedingly difficult. It Is now believed
that the whole problem- has been solved
by the introduction of the cyanide lix
iviaton process. It appears to have an
swered every requirement, and a renewal
of former activity is confidently looked
for.
The Cable Cove district is four miles
west of Cracker Creek, and is in a strati
fied granite formation. The mineral belt
Is four miles in length by three in width.
Throughout the district eres average from
$18 to $20 per ton, the veins being IS
Inches to 18 feet wide. The district Is la
course of development, and has an ex
ceedingly promising future.
There is activity also in the Granite
district, 40 miles back in the mountains
from Baker City. New capital has been
interested, and profitable results are an
ticipated. Union county is the scene of much de
velopment in mines, and it rivajs Baker
in the volume of its output Important
districts are the mines at Sparta, chief
of which Is the Sanger group, with an
average annual output of $250,000, Cor
rucopla, .Eagle Valley, Te'ocasetand Pine
Creek. The Dolly Varden and Little Pills
bury are leading mines at Sparta.

mining men. Gold Is found in all the
numerous streams of Southern Oregon,
and placer and hydraulic mining have for
j ears been generally engaged In. It is
only In very recent years that veln-mlnlpg
on a commercial scale, with improved
modern appliances, has been attempted.
In past times very valuable "pockets" had
been discovered In Jackson and Josephine
counties, but these were speedily exhaust
ed, and were probably responsible for a
conviction long prevalent that the vein3
were not true-fissure. This theory, it has
been satisfactorily demonstrated, was
wholly incorrect Permanent ledges have
recently been uncovered, and are now
being profitably worked. Two practical
miners from Colorado, in prospecting in
the neighborhood cf Ashland during Oc
tober, 1SS3, struck what they believed to
be a true-fissure vein. This was within
one mile of Ashland and on the direct line
of the Southern Pacific They quletly
proceeded to open up their vein. Their
first shipment of ore to the smelter at San
Francisco netted them $320 a ton. and ere
has since been taken out of this vein
which arsayed as hlqh as $51R to the ton
Many other fine prospects in Josephine
and Jackson counties aro now being
worked to advantage. The output of the
.Ashland mine now amounts to about $30,
003 annually, and the company's five-stamp
mill is working on low-grade ore aver
aging about $20 per ton, and is being
worked at a profit. This ore is merely
the product of the development work now
being done in the tunnel, and it is reason
able to expect that ore carrying far more
gold will be uncovered as greater depth
is attained. The Sterling mine near Jack
sonville has yielded about $100,000 in the
past
The success of these mines has im
mensely stimulated Interest in the indus
try in Southern Oregon. The entire foot
hill region in that district fa? mineralized,
and prospectors are very numerous.
Strikes are frequently reported.
An important producing mine is the
Annie Consolidated, in Lane county. In
Linn county, the Albany Mining & Milling
Company has recently sold a group of
claims of approved value to a foreign cor
poration, and they will be worked on a
large scale.

and Curry county. Gold has been carried

IRON.
Near Oswego, on the Willamette river,
seven miles from Portland, the Oswego
Iron Company has for a great many years
successfully- developed a deposit of iron
in th Scappoose hills. The product of
.Pig-iron has been sold in Portland and
San Francisco. Owing to the tariff and
other causes, not necessary to review, the
furnace is not In operation; but it is hoped
conditions will allow resumption of work.
The iron ore found in the Scappoose hills
is hydrated oxide of iron, or brown hem
atite. , The lava rock3 of Oregon are
also said to be rich in iron.
' "- COAL.
Several extensive coal mines are in
operation in Coos county. The output
finds its principal market In San Fran
cisco. "One company, it is said, has cap
ital invested in a $2,000,000 plant, and Coos
bay coal is a fair rival to the mines of
Washington. The principal deposits in
Oregon lie in the stratified rocks of the
coast range. It Is a low-grade lignite.
At various places in the state veins have
been discovered, and give promise ot

agriculture, but it is likewise extensively

The chief aid to the stockraiser is the
native bunchgrass, which grows so abun
dantly that Eastern Oregon is often known
colloquially as the "bunchgrass country."
It takes the place of ordinary pasture and
of grain or hay. It contains all the ele
ments of nutriment necessary to the de
velopment of bone, muscle and fiesh.
Bunchgrass horses are uniformly swift
and hardy. Besides the bunchgrass, rye-
grass grows on lowlands and hillsides; but This cjass ls composed mostly of volun

Very great profits have been made from
the sheep and wool Industry In past years.
Oregon is in the front rank pf woolproduc
Ing states. The annual average clip- is
15,000,000 pounds. For ISM the output in
Eastern Oregon was 18,000.000 pounds; Wli
lamette valley, 900,000 pounds; Umpqua
valley, 225.000 pounds. Tariff legislation
has recently affected the industry tmfa"
vorably. but the prospect is that better
prices will prevail. The general engage
ment In woolgrowing in Oregon has re
sulted in the development of related in
dustries. Woolen mills are common
throughout the state. Looms are in con
tinuous operation at Oregon City,. Salem,
Albany. Brownsville and other places.
There is a large woolscourlng plant at
Pendleton. About one-half the Oregon
output Is consumed at home. The number
of sheep in Oregon in ISM was 2,523,759,
California, which has more than any other
state, had 3,018,157. The annual mutton
sales of Oregon are very large, aggregat
ing more than 300,000 head.
The large pursuit of cattle-raising in the
state has had the effect of improving the
strains by the introduction of line blood.
Jhere are many breeders of superior stock.
Thtte is much excellent dairy stock,
though dairying has by no means assumed
the importance it deserves. No essential
to successful dairying Is lacking in Ore
gon, and in some important respects its
advantages are superior. In Eastern
states the most scrupulous economy Is
practiced in order to make the pursuit a
success. In Oregon ordinary care and in
telligence applied to dairying bring even
more profitable returns. The even climate
and abundant growth of nutritious grasses
are very great advantages. Dairying has
assumed importance In the Willamette
valley, along bottom lands, and particu
larly on coast points. It has perhaps
reached more complete development In
Tillamook county than elsewhere. In that
coast county there Is a combination of 'li-
mate, pasturage, cool nighis and clear
water, all admirably adapted to the pur
poses of dairying. At other places In the
state there are well-equipped dairies.
There is an excellent local market in Part
land and at other Oregon towns.

I In this connection It may be mentioned
that poultry-raising in Oregon Is ordina
rily profitable. It can be advantageously
combined with horticulture, agriculture,,
dairying or stockraising; or it may be fol
lowed as a slngfe pursuit. The average
price for eggs the year around is from 13
to 23 cents per dozen. Chickens will usu
ally bring 40 cents each, and more.
Much attention has been paid in Oregon
during the past year to the raising of
hogs. Every element necessary to their
successful production is present Wheat

If a man dies he will not live again till
the resurrpctinn. That much is clear.
Medical science has advanced wonderfully,
but it cannot warm a dead man's feet or
set In motlor- a heart that has stopped,
furthermore, there are living invalids 'to"
whom It can no more restore health than
it can restore life to the dead. It cannot
cure fatty degeneration of the heart nor
cancer of the stomach, and it cannot re
pair a lung that has undergone total de
composition or a, liver that has undergone
a hardening or a malignant ulceration.
But. in drawing the line between what Is
possible and what is not possible to en
lightened medical science, there is neither
sense nor humanity nor professional 4ion"
esty in exaggerating the list of incurable'
maladies. The physician who holds to
day that common types of chronic lung
disease, chronic kidney disease, chronic
liver disease, or the severer types of ca
tarrh, asthma, rheumatism, etc., are in
curable, because chronic, contradicts a
raatter of fact attested by 20,000 people
who have been -cured of those very ma,la-!?ie!i-b3;
the specialists of the Copeland
Medical Institute.

curability or their incurability. His
opinion has grown In the shade, like hem-
?iJnd ma bejust as poisonous as:
hemlock just as depressing and deadly
in its action when administered to pa
tients. To say that the chronic maladies enume
rated above will not yield promptly 'to
correct specialty treatment is either an
inexcusable error or an inexcusable false
hood. In either Instance It Is an inex
cusable impertinence in the face ot 20.000
Intelrgent and reputable people, who tes
tify to their radical and lasting cure of
those diseases by the Copeland specialists.
And when they say "cured," they mean
it. They do not mean a moment's balm
to pain, a little rest to sleepless agony.
They mean the complete elimination ot
the seed poison and seed principle of
chronic disease and the permanent return
of natural health to the system.
But chronic catarrh being the malady
most frequently and. most impertinently
described as incurable by those who ha-e
no real knowledge concerning it, below Is
presented the symptoms of a half dozen
different forms of the disease, any sufferer
from which may be practically assured of
a cure by applying to the Copeland special
ists. For convenience, the applicant should
cut out the symptoms applying to his case
and bring them with him. or send by mail
if desiring the mail treatment.
