If you go the erudite xeoanovt un '

the "genesis af ore deposits and the
"chemical laws' that govern the for

Each mine is n whole congregation of
Xa standing solitary and alone, and
must be calculated bv its own individual
factors.
Of mining: promoters, boomers and
peculators there are many, but of the
men who supply the money, brains
and faith-devoted vears to methodical,
Intelligent development of a single min
ing property, there are but few. If it
were not bo, Oregon would be. plethoric
of great mines Their scarcity Is not
due to lack of minerals in its hills.
But to develop these ore bodies into
paving mines, requires Qualities of
brain and character that are rare among
men. And when the work Is done, as
this kind of work usually is done, with
out flourish of trumpets and bomblla
tlon, It is all tho more admirable.
The Black Butte Vine.
These prefacing remarks appropri
ately Introduce the subject of the Black
Butte Quicksilver mine, an Industry of
I,ane county, Oregon. In the foothills
Of the Oalfpoola mountains, on the
coast fork of the Willamette river,
16 miles south of Cottage Grove, a
great mine has been carved out of
the hilla'.
It baa taken 10 long years of faith
fully devoted work, and a pile of the
yellow metal, to do It; but a great in
dustry has bjeen established which will
give lucrative employment to men anJ
sustenance for their families, probably
for many long years after the man who
has pioneered it has been gathered to
his fathers.
Against all odds, discouragements
and difficulties, of which there have
been plenty, as in all work of this
kind, the development of the mine has
gone steadily forward. Not a day since

Thousands of people will be Interested
In the arrangement by which ihe Wiley
H. Allen Co., who at one time had the

iishment in Portland. have opened a
wholesale and retail piano house at ;;rit
Oak street between Fifth and Sixth
Beautiful sample rooms have b. , u

nect hy elevator with the third floor,
all of which will be occupied by the
firm. Ous Hoffman, one of the best

H. Allen Co. n the northwest, and ah
Roclated with him will be a selling force
seconi to none in the business. Mr.
Hoffman s superintendent of agencies
will be I.. F. Boyd, a man favorably
known to the piano trade. In the Wiley
H Allen salesrooms will he found R A
Whitehead and F. M Case, who have
been prominently Identified with this
line for years The reappearance of r
this old piano concern in Portland will
take plsoe under the most favorable
circumstances, and doubtless will prove,
a source of satisfaction to .many a
former customer It Is pretty generallv
known that the Wiley R Allen Co re
moved from Portlano to engage in the
piano busln.ess In San Francisco on a
larger scale All this was accomplished,
branch houses being opened In most of
the big towns In California, and now the
