Flax fibre of the finest iimiMty can be
raised in Oregon. To Is suggests pon.1

roKterliirf of a great commercial liidu.
ry that nearly dazzles, says the Port
land Telegram. Mrs Governor Lord
and Mrs J C Card have iu their IHIHt'P
sion some samples of t.ible linen made
from Oregon flax llbre (hut compares
with the finest table linen in the mar
ket. The (lore at sent to (termany
by these Indies and the linen manu
factured there. '
"It It us line a rami le of linen as I
ever saw," raid a well-knowu dry
goods man this morning. It shows
what can be done with Oregon fhix
llbr. It. opens up new avenues of
commerce. Like Mr Jtidson, the O R
& N Industrial agent, I e:.cliiun, "The
people of Oregon do not realize their
gieut resources." Il half the truth
were told regarding these bountiful op
portunities it would sound like a fairy
tale, aud cause eople to imagine that
thetiuth wat being stre'ehed almost
to the snapping point.
In my mli.d the mimes of Mrs Lord
and Mrs Cut. I will iiUuvs shine
briulitly in the hls-ory t.f Oreuon
I hey have wi rked iincui-li'gl.v lu the
futurist of proving in the fi mers and
m-iiiiif:.cturers that Mux 111. re could lie
tmulu to pay heie," coniludid the
merchant.
The It ix llbre rf cou tu Is nt of
much use u ii i I the means tire at hand
o turn it Into a commercial article
Farmers admit that they ran raise a
good grade of flax llhrc, but say there
no nuiikct fr it. Iu the. face of this
th. y pay $1 ai d $1 CO per yard for I'.cir
taMtf linen, which comes across the
Atlautic.
Not only do they pBj fur the rai-iug
ot the fibre iu Another countrv. but
they pay for its manufacture. Its
fieight ucross the Atlantic, It freight
rate across the continent and the extra
harges for its handling by the differ
eut merchants. Linen is one of the
greatest articles ot commerce in the
Uuited .States, ami still they say there
no market f ir the llbre.
They are right in so far that it is use
less to raise the fibre unless it can be
utilized. TliU can only I e done by
stablishlng nauufactorics for turning
it into a commercial article. It re
quires capital ti do this. Rut this is
easy to secure whin capitalists realize
that a good grade of fibre can be
raised.
Nature has tupplied Oregon with
ery requisite for manufacturing the
article Mills could be established iu

elements at hand lor I lie industry.
Fuel, water pow r, etc, In fact nothing
would Iiuvh to be shipped in; it Is
ready ut haud, ready to be turned to

The fhx fibre is h very sensitive
plant, and requires a great deal of care.
Uut the climal" here is especially
adapted to Its cultuie. It Is planted
about this time of the year and can tie
pulled iu thiee mouths or earlier. Ily
that time the sun is bright aud hot, so
that It can be bleached to perfection.
Oue of the other mo.t Important things
is the fact thai plenty of good, soft
water can be obtained with which to
Hood the llbre. In nh rt, no artificial
means are needed tlther iu Its raising

Rseburg Review: Quick i!vr Is

Iroin th.. muck Hutte mines in Lane
county, about 17 mile sout heist o
Cottage drove. There u a iiiounlaln
of ore of all degree of rich tu s. up t otl
per cent niercuiy. A contract lias bi n
let for the construction of a 3) ton
quicksilver furnace, with comlciis r, ,
dryer, itc, woik ou which Is to be
begun iitimediately. The comrany
has leccutly built a good wagon road
to the mines, bridging several streams;
has bought a line farm lor heailqu tr
iers, with buildings that will If used
as ulllccs, lio.uiilog houses, etc. and
every proration h being made for
working the ptoperly the eoininu
season.
The importance ol ihls quicksilver
proerly lies to a cousiderable extent
in the fact that for several years 'he
production of the metiil on the Piclllo
coast has been stead. !y d dining ou
account of the mines being exhausted.
Other mineral product have increased
in volume. The leport of the experts
who examined ti e Itlack Hutte mine
say :
"All the indications fioiu pre.sciit
developments warrant the conclusion
tint the entire mountain Is an Inl
ine nte deposit of quicksilver o:c, w It It-It
will produce practically U io percent,
which with the ease lit.,', ciieapoess
wi ll nliicll It could be woiked, makil
it one of the most valuable mining
propositions on llie Puclllc const, if not
the hole world."
The property consist of 1010 acres of
land along the top cf lll.n k Unite,
which, rather than uo Individual
t u tie, Is u sour of the Cascade range,
lid list's to a height of LTtiO feet above
the level of the surrounding country.
The cinnibar ore, mixed wi.h u gHiiuiie
tin t is a sort of decomposed quartz,
crops out along a distance of about 400(1
feet near the crest of the ridge, and
there are ninny eligible sites for fun
nels, dumps, inclines, tracks, ore bins,
furnaces, shops, ami ail the necessary
facilities for the econo mical exlr iction
of the ore. Bix main cuts anil two
tunnels have teen made, from which
assays were tuatle showing fioin 3 to
40 per cent, quicksilver. The cod of re
ducing the ore Is estimated ut $1 per
tan. The market price of the quick -silver
is about 62 eeuis a pound.
Borne time ago J Rchrman, who is
mtuatilng the work at the mine
brought to the Chamber of Commerce
a collection of mlneial specimens, two
large pieces of rock bearing cliiuibar,
in one of which the proportion Is said
to be 40 per cent of the weight. Yes
terday Mr liehrmau brought down a
vial witli nine ouueca of quicksilver
that lie said he had reduced from a
pound of ore.
The Rlack Iiutto Mining Compat.y
is composed of (Seattle aud Port Towns

vestigating the merits f their
clitjms, aud adding to the (xttbtnf
their property. Now they are ready to
open up the miue aud work it energet
ically, and It will become an Important
iudostry. It is said that the cost of
lbs production cf quicksilver in Call
forula is between 22 to 111) cent I ei
pound, while the cost of gelling quick
silver from the Rlack liutte iiiits Is
estimated at 10 cents per pound.

Frost truly say (hi morning afur
viewing tbe liavoo lis created In tb
peach orchards.
The frost ot last night was probably
the heaviest ever known at this season.
At 7 o'clock this mornlag th ther
mometer Indicated 28 degrees above
zero, and It must have been ru lowsr
during the night. Horticulturist
wore long faces this morning as tbsy
went out to make a critical examine
tlun of their orohards. The thing
noted moat Is that peaches are a total
wreck, as the early spring and warm
days of last month brought out the
bloom on the trees very rapidly.
D W Coolldge, ene of tbe best posted
orchardlsta In tbe state, and who grows
a large variety of fralt said: "You can
say that the peach, apricot and almond
eropwlllb a total failure." Other
orcbardlsts say the same thing. Near
ly all agree however, that the cherry
crop has not been perceptibly dam
aged as the buds are not far enough
developed.
Arouud city homes It wa noted that
pumps were froten In bouses, and that
flowers Isft unprotected shared a simi
