One of the principal mines along the river is that at Riverton, which is under the management of W. <>. Dodge. Mr Dodge informed a reporter of the R ecorder that their mine alone was capable of put ting out 40 tons a day for an indefinite period, and this in itself will be sufficient to keep the Newport going at full capacity. There are other mines along the river that can and will be put into operation as soon as a means ol transportation for the coal can be ar ranged, and Mr. Dodge says there is plenty of demand in the Portland and San Francisco markets for all the coal that can be transporte« 1 t< to either or bath of the markets.

PLANS OF PR3CE0ÜRE WERE OUTLINED Up to-date, considerable money has been spent by the various Commercial Bodies in Coos county, advertising their particular sections Wide this mode of advertising has done considerable good, still more could have been accomplished with the .same amount of money expended for advertising die county as a whole. I have talked this matter over vv ith quite .1 number of prominent men in the county, and they all agreed with me on this plan of advertising, and that while the limited sectional advertising has done considerable good, that we would get much better results and would populate our county much quicker by all joining together and getting up a respect.» >le folder, well illustrated, and setting forth the advantages of the entire county in stead of a particular section thereof. By doing this we can do the work cheaper and better, and can legiti inately ask the County court to make an annual appropriation for the purpose, and in that way distribute the expense of the advertising among the property holdeis Irenetited thereby, instead of letting a few willing contributors foot the bill.--. To bring this muter to an early conclusion; 1 would suggest that the commercial organizations at Nmth Bend, Marshfield, Myrtle, Point, Coquille and Bandon, take this matter up at once, and each appoint a committee of one and have them thrash the matter out. Yours for advertising the advan tages of Joos county as a whole. in an effectual wholesome and economical way.
