Tho district is an old ono, comparatively, yet until last fall no effort had bceu mado to got a mill on any of the prop erties. Last yoar tho West FlBher Mining Compuuy waa organized with Iowa capital. A saw mill and stamp mill wero constructed laat year and soveral short trial runa in tho atamp mill wero mado to test tho milling poa sibilltlea of tho oro. These runa wero entirely satisfactory. Thia spring op cratlona wero resumed in the mill and tho development of tho mine likowiso continued. Tho mill is now running 24 hours a day, using about 30 tons of crude oro. It ia a 10-stutnp mill. Not far from tho West Fisher Min ing Company's property ia a group of claims which havo been stocked for if 2, 000,000.

Tho property is located on Hoar creek, be tween tho Snowahoo nnd Silver Cable mines. Tho values aro silver and lead with some gold. Mr. Peterson, of Spokuno, has taken a contract to run 100 feot on tho De fender claim, situated in SnowBhoe gulch, and work is now going on in that property. This property has been developed by about 700 feet of tunnel work and tho showing in the long tun nel is considered to be an exceptionally good ono.

Oregon City, Or., June 25. George Strong, John Jivnns and Gerhard Berg man havo roturned after three weeks proapecting on tho Upper North Fork of tho Clackamas river, having diacov orod a promising gold-producing quartz ledgo. Samples of tho ore wero sent to Portland to bo assayed. Tho ledge on which these parties locatod claims is situated in tho Saddle Mountain dis trict, which haa been proapectod, moro or leaa, for tho past 25 yeara. A ledge in tho immediate vicinity of this dis co vory assays $1G per ton, and tho con ditions aro not bo favorable as in the luttor lode. This district is only about nine miles distant from Mount Hood, and tho snow in places is six to eight inches deep. As soon as returns are received from the assay office, these men will return to thoir new locations and run a tunnel or sink a shaft. GOLD FROM KLONDIKE. Eighty-five Tau'enger llrlng Out Aboul 8300,000 In Uuat. The steamer Dirigo has arrived at Seattle from Lynn Canal, having on board 85 passengers, who brought about $300,000 in gold dust. The steamer's olllceia report 100 pasaengers at Bonnet who were unable to reach Skagway in timo to catch tho Dirigo. These, it ia reported at tho Skagway offices of the steamship company, aro bringing out a vory largo amount of gold, greater, it is said, than any party of similar sizi that has yet arrived. Tho largest owners of gold dust on board tho Dirigo were the McDonald brothers, of Seattle, Roily and Donald. Tho former haa 230 pounds, valued at $60,000, and the latter 140 pounds, valued at $30,000. Charles. Hutchin son brought out 200 pounds, valued at $43,000. The remainder of tne ship ment is owned by the remaining pas sengers iu sums ranging from $5,000 up. Tho passengers all declare that this summer's output from the Klondike will be much larger than last, and esti mates aro made all the way from $25, 000,000 to $40,000,000. As yet they say the clean-up has not started thii wuv, und probably will not until after July 15. The latest advices from the gold bear ing districts remote from Duwson, it ia said, show that the clean-up is almost double the amount first reported. Bo nanza creek alone, it is stated, will send out $8,000,000 to $10,000,000, which will bo the largest amount com ing from any of the creeks. The Dawson banks, it is said, hav taken up about" $2,000,000 already, and when the Dirigo's passengers left, were buying very heavily every day. In tho city of Dawson business was vory lively. There was no scarcity ol labor to speak of, although evory man who wanted work was working at good wages. Food prices were beginning to drop, and the general belief was that beforo another month Seattle prices foi ordinary commodities would prevail. Oregon Mining Note". The Bohemia and Blue River dis trlcts, in .Lane county, aro overrun with prospectors.

Crop damage has been a movinjr cause for the adavneo in the price uf cotton. Some weaknoss has been noted in cotton goods, withodt, however, favorably affeoting distribution. Trad in dry goods has been helped by warmer weather. Wool la lower, and the woolen-good market is rather quiet, awaiting the next London wool sale and the opening: of tho spring-weight season. A heavy buaineaa ia doing in refined sugar, and the manufacturers are over sold. A good margin of profit exists) -in this trade. Reports from tho boot and shoo in dustry are of rather unsatisfactory trade prospects, .and leather and bides are rather weak-at tho East, but strong at Chicago, where heavy purchases for Philippine army purposes have strength ened the situation. Anthracite coal is in seasonable dis tribution, while tho deamnd for bi tuminous continues active.
