COOS COAL IS
Southern Pacific Representa
tive Active in Development
of Greater Production.
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.

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."

j SMITH COMES
I ON SUNDAY
to Start With Eight Hun
dred Men on First of
March.
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

Tom Holland arrived In Coos Bay
about ono o'clock this afternoon, af
ter making a quick and pleasant trip

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
