L iljegran Takes Charge
o f L ocal M ining Bureau
E. W. Liljegran, the well known
mining .engineer and assayer, has
taken charge of the work of the
Southern Oregon mining bureau, with
offices at Sixth and Fir street. He
has had charge of the Ray interests
at Tolo until recently. Speaking of
his new work, Mr. Liljegran said:
“This region has warrantable show­
ings of mineral to justify consider­
able exploitation in lode, dredge and
hydraulic mining, all sufficiently
large to justify modern equipment,
besides the hand drift diggings, ail *
within easy transportation to rail
and market compared with the aver­
age mining camps.
“The bureau will list properties for
sale, in all stages of development and
descriptive matter erf each will be,
filed for reference, together with"
samples labelled and placed in cab­
inets for exhibition so that any kind
of mining proposition can be secured.

After many weary years o t futile
why-don't-someone-do-something die*
' cussion, Gold Hill is to have a public
: park that will be a credit to the town..
At Wednesday's meeting of the Busi-
I ness Men's association, a report was
rendered by Chairman Reed of the
park committee In which it was state.d
that the railway company was ready
to lease that tract of land lying be­
tween the depot and south Main street
to the town for park purposes. *That
i the company is further disposed to
co-operate with the town in making a
beauty spot of this present waste
place was shown by the offer to allow
the overflow from the company water-
tank to be used for fountain and irri­
gation purposes for the proposed park,
j There is sufficient flow and head for
■ those purposes,, and permission has
been given by the company to 'ay the
necessary pipe, 'fje company will
also lay a granite roadway between
the tracks and the park, and no driv­
ing will be allowed except on this
roadway after the park is completed.
Seeds have been ordered for flower
beds, and J. W. Hays will see that the
land Is plowed and put in shape for
parking at once. The co-operation of
everyone will be asked in the making
of the park, and it is a foregone con­
clusion that everyone will help.
Another matter that came before
the club at Wednesday's meeting was
that of a tying shed for farmers’
horse. F. W. Dodge was appointed
as a ways and means committee of
one to secure material for the con­
struction ot such a shed.
