BOATINC. ON ROGUE RIVER.

AGENTS FOR THE TIMES.
!
According to promise, I again give
a few items concerning these mines,
I must first tell about tho boat that
was brought down Rogue River the
other day. It was 20 feet long, five
feet wide and two feet deep, built on
the flat bottom plan. The cargo con­
sisted of 800 pounds of potatoes, GOO
pounds of oats, 100 pounds of flour,
100 pounds of provisions and 100 feet
of lumber—about a ton all told. The
boat was loaded near Vannoy’s Ferry
and landed near the Yank ledge. It
was manned by Mr. Presley, Captain
and owner of cargo and lioat, Mr. Man-
nering, Pilot, and John Flaughes, Pro­
peller, and was set afloat on the 1st in­
stant, landing on the 3d. Mr. Man-
nering says the trip can be made in
ten hours.
Mr. Harkness is now preparing to
raft 5,000 feet of lumber down from
the mouth of “Jump off Joe.” So you
see that Rogue River Is to bo used in
developing the great Yank ledge.
