According to General Manager Millis, of tho local holdings of tho Southern Pacific railroad, tho devel opment of the company's mining properties in' Coos county will be gone into extensively during the pres ent year. Tho Beaver Hill mine is being Improved In numerous ways by the installation of now machinery, electrical pumps, digging now tun nels and doing everything to make the most of tho coal deposits in Coos county. The Southport mine on Isthmus inlet will open up for shipments about tho middle of next month with a large output. This mino is the new part of an older mining section but it promises to develop on a large scale. A big tunnel is being con structed by enlarging tho prospect tunnel and there is already a largo showing of good coal in sight. A diamond drill Is being worked on tho properties back of Ilenryvllle with tho prospects of good strikes, and efforts are being made to find the boundaries of the coal already known to be there. Altogether tho company is going into coal mining on an extensive scale and the coal depos its of Coos county are becoming more important than ever before. The de mand for coal on the coast has re sulted in a thorough investigation of this section and it appears that from now on the coal resources of this district are going to be utilized in a manner which cannot do otherwise than draw public attention to fa mous Coos Bay. LOUIS GERARD, of Beaver Hill, is a visitor in Marshfleld today. W. B. ItHORER, of Coquille, was a pleasant visitor to friends in Marshfleld yesterday.

SECRETARY LYON PUTS IN A FEW BOOSTS A recent Issue of tho Portland Journal has the following to say of Coos Bay in reference to an inter view with Walter Lyon, who is at present in Portland: "Since tho San Francisco disaster of 19 00 Portland wholesale houses have practically had tho entire busi ness of tho merchants of tho Coos Bay country. Now, however, the San Francisco dealers aro getting on their feet again and travelling men repre senting Golden Gate houses are flock ing Into the' country In an endeavor to regain tho trade which, for more than a year, has gone elsowhere. "This is the news brought to Port land by Walter Lyon, secretary of tho chamber of commerce at Marshfleld. Mr. Lyon is here to get 40,000 book lets which were printed hero for the Marshfleld organization and tho peo ple of North Bend. The booklets aro all tho same, Marshfleld taking 30, 000 of them and North Bond tho re mainder. They are illustrated with roferonco to resources of tho Cobs Bay country. " 'Lumber mills havo not been closed In this county and work is go ing on more advanced than over be fore," Mr. Lyon said this morning. 'C. A. Smith, tho lumber king, is pre paring to start up. He will havo a pay roll of something llko 2,000 men. " 'The employment of such largo numbers of men in theso lumber camps and other industries makes ' thoir business an Important one. Be fore tho San Francisco Are the trade was about equally divided between tho wholesalo houses of Portland and tho California metropolis. Sinco tho city had her setback, howevor, Port land dealers havo had much tho best of tho deal. But now tho Callfornl ans nro coming in and Portland wholesalers expect moro competition than over boforo for tho Coos Bay trade.' "Mr. Lyon is at tho Imperial and will romaln several days."

All tho newspaper stories In tho Times and Portland papers referring to Coos Bay havo been reproduced with a number of excellent photographs of various scones in tho harbor Viro printed on tho circular, which will bo a great boost for Coos Bay and will be tho moans of bringing numerous pco plo to settle In this section.

Schooner Arrives In Port Tho three-masted schoonor Esther Buhno, which has been engaged in carrying lumber to California from Orogon for a number of years, arrived in tho'har bo this morning from San Francisco, eleven days out from the port.

C. A. Smith, tho multl-mlllionairo lumberman who has done so much for tho growth of Coos Bay by estab lishing his largest western Interests at this point, and whoso mill will bo itho largest on tho coast, will arrlvo on tho steamer Plant next Sunduy from San Francisco and win spend a few weeks looking over his interests here. Manager Orcn, of tho local mill, has received a telegram from Minneapolis stating that Mr. Smith will arrlvo on Sunday, but whether j ho is bringing a party with him or not is not known. Tho machinery of the mill which has been Installed during the past few months, will be turned over on its trial run some time next week. Everything is being rushed forward as rapidly as possible in order that tho huge mill may commenco opera--tions on the first of March without fail. Consequently the month of Feb ruary will bo devoted to putting on tho finishing touches at the mill and to having the machinery In first class working order for tho opening day which will be on scheduled time. It is probable that some ceremony will be held when the first lumber ii cut in the new structure, which will em ploy about S00 men in all its depart ments inside and out. At present there aro 300 men working on the construction, and la spite of several heavy rains tho work has gono forward in a manner which, has aroused tho admiration of con tractors and visitors to the company's property. Tho yards aro being put in shape to receive tho lumber and thousands of logs aro being cut by tho Smith-Powers Logging company to feed tho new mill, which will turn out lumber at the rato of over 226, 000 feet per day. If the mill were to work a double shift, the output every 24 hours would be In the neighbor hood of half a million feet, or tho cargo of the largest schooner which comes into tho bay to load lumber. ber movements become active onco more. Interest In Harbor Shilling Much Interest is being shown in har bor boat movements during tho past week of good weather, and the fleet of craft in the bay is being repaired in good shape for spring business. New boats are being built and old ones put In shape and tho prospects are that tho boating industry in tho harbor is going to be better this veac than it has over been before in tho history of Coos Bay. Eagle Arrives From Bandon Tho launch Eaglo In charge of Captain Tom Holland arrived In Coos Bay about ono o'clock this afternoon, af ter making a quick and pleasant trip from Bandon. Tho boat loft the lat ter port over a smooth bar at 10:40 o'clock this morning and was insldo Coos Bay at 1 p. m., making a dis tauco of twenty-one miles in two hours and twenty minutes. Tho Eagle will commence on tho run be tween Marshfleld and North Bend to- iday. Sho was taken to the Coqulllo river several months ago to carry passengers, but business in tho val ley for the boat is not as good as it is on the bay, this resulting in her coming back home. Ruilding Strong Boat An unusual strong launclwis being built at tho William Holland shipyard for Capt. Swing which will bo equipped with a 'llfty-horso power engine. Tho keel of tho boat was laid about two weeks ago and the frame is already in sbapa and tho planking is being put on tho boat.

Tho boat Is different from anything on tho bay in shape and tho plans wero, drawn by Captain Swing. The boat's unusual strength and seaworthy lines will onablo her to go outside tho har bor In almost any kind of weather providing the bar Is not too bad. , She will bo used by the captain for ' ploasuro and towing purposos and 'will bo launched in about six weeks. , tho ongino already being on boaid.
