On Monday there straggled into
town in disjointed sections and on
woeful looking rigs the most dust
bedraggled and petered-out nggrc'
gation ol forlorn artists and para
phcrnalia that has been seen in these
narts for lot these many days. The
management and stars arrived by
train from the south. The tent
was pitched on the vacant lot across
the way from the big store of Gar
man & Newlaud, and after borrow
ing an organ and several other
necessary adjuncts, the evening
was well along when the trouble
began by a free exhibition on the
slack wiie. As a prelude to what
came nfter, this little episode was
fairly gotten over, the lady in tights
only fallitipr off once. The tent was
soon filled at 25cts per head and
after a long and tedious wait the
real thing burst upon the expect
ant audience. The club swinging,
trapeze acts, contorsionist, serpeu-J
tine and sailor's hornpipe dance,
the Lilliputian boxing bout and
the cake walk imitation were all
passable, but several other numbers
were abortive and cast a gloom
over the otherwise indulgent audi
ence. The aggregation of world'
renowned stars of the first magni
tude went north.
UiTTKR FROM UOHIiMIA.
We are iu receipt ol a folder an
nouncing the seventh annual outing
of the Mazamas to Mount Jeffer
son from August 6th to 20th. On
Saturday, August nth 1900, the
society will hold its fifth arial con
ference on the pinicle of Mount
Jefferson, 10,867 feet above the
Pacificocean, theobjectand purpose
of which shall be to initiate new
members, take observations and
securely inter its record box. The
trip is destined to be one of inter
est not only to scientists, but also
to those who love the stern wilder
ness, the song and echo of mountain
stream, the awful canyon, the ice-
crested glacier and the genesis ( f
geology. The society has a mem
bership of 230 and its annual out
ing is eagerly looked forward to and
is enjoyable in every sense. Those
intending to make the trip this
year should be in Albany, the start
ing point, on August 6th.
The weekly crop Bulletin of the
U. S. department of agriculture lor
Oregon, in its general summary
says that the thrashing yields in
the Columbia River valley are dis
appointing, in not averaging as
much as expected. Spring wheat
in western and southern Oregon
has been quite extensively damaged
by rust ,aud grain aphis, but other
wise it is doing nicely. Oats and
barley have ripened very fast and
flax is doing splendidly, while the
weather has been exceptionally
favorable for hops and corn. It has
been too hot for potatoes and this
crop is not doing as well as ex
pected. In some sections the vines
are badly blighted and insect pests,
as a rule, have been much more
troublesome than usual. The
second crop of alfalfa and clover is
being cut, and the Oregon hay
crop this year will be an extra
heavy one, although perhaps not
quite up to the average in quality.
Early peaches, plums and apples
are ripe, and fruit of all kinds is
doing nicely. The apples iu the
Willamette valley are reported as
being remarkably free from worms
and disease, and the crop will not
only be large iu quantity, but su
perior in quality as well.
The annual county teacher's insti
tute will be held in Eugene, at the
cdurthouse, commencing at 9
o'clock a. in, Monday, July 30, and
continue five days. All teachers
are expected to be in attendance in
accordance to Oregon's school law.
Get together at once and work for
a. creamery for Cottage Grove.
The following extracts arc taken
from a long letter received from
the mines last week to late for pub
licatiou:
The Arastra group, owned by
Ud. Jenks, is situate close to th
main road some 10 miles from Ho
hernia. Much development work
has been done and ore of fine grade
has been encountered iu all parts
of the mine. A splendid water
power, fine flume and dam, good
buildings and plenty of timber
belongs to this group, and a young
man of push and energy behind it.
Further up Sharp's creek Mr.
Keizur is developing a property
which is now showing up well
In this vicinity are many good
prospects and some, no doubt, will
eventually become good mines.
Right along here our correspond
cut had a big scare. On turning a
bend in the road u ferocious cougar
blocked the way. The friirht was
mutual and so soon as the intro
ductiqn was over the cougar took
to the brush.
- .
rrom tins point on Deems in
earnest the great Bohemia district
captain worley s bunset camp
was next visited. He has a force
of men working under his own
supervision ana is snowing up
some very fine ground.
At Glenwood are a number of
extra good prospects. Mr. Hinds
is doing a large amount of work
and is most comfortably located,
having his wife with him. His
claims are looking well. He is
below the deep snow line and has
plenty of water and timber
Just across from this group is
another fine group owned by the
White Bros., who have a large
amount of ore blocked out of suffi
cient quality to be good shipping
ore if a smelter were handv.
The next stop was at the Stocks
& Barlow mill. Here was found
Messrs. Stocks, Brush and David
Ivy, three of old Bohemia's laud
marks, busily engaged in pushing
a lower tunnel to tap their ledtre
at a much greater depth. They
have at present about four feet of
good free milling ore, and widen
ing as depth is attained. They
have a five-stamp mill, all com
plete, and know how to handle it.
A little farther over is the Vesu-
vious, owned by Mr. Zmiker and
the Graber Bros., who are steadily
pushing development with most
flattering prospects. The ledge in
the lower crosscut shows as fine a
body of ore as is to be found any
where, and in all of the working
parts of the mine there.are ore in
inexhaustible quantities and ot fine
grade. Some beautiful specimens
of free gold ore was shown and cer
tificates of eminent assayers giving
values as high as $1,200 per ton.
The mine has steel tracks and cars,
good shops, tools and houses and
is run in a business-like manner by
practical men.
The route from here lay along
the backbone from Fairview to
Grouse, from which a wonderful
panorama is in view. Mount Hood
and the Three Sisters stand plainly
forth clad in perpetual snow, while
to the right and still closer looms
up old Bohemia, dotted with pros
pect holes and the cabins of the
gold hunters. From this high
altitude can be heard the sound of
the heavy .stamps at the Musick
mine lower down on the side, which
is the best developed mine in the
disrict.
The Anaconda was next visited
and found to be in good shape and
looking well.
The Broadway, owned by Griffith
and Reed, was next seen. Assess
ment work was in progress and
some fine ore was on the dump.
The trail then went by the Cham
pion mine, which at present is idle,
and we passed on to the summit of
Grouse, where is located the Bohe
mia, known as the old Knotts mine.
Here a force of men were at work
under the supervision of Messrs. D.
R. Iadcl and W. C. Meagher.
The wonderful strike lntely made
here fully justifies all that has been
said and is being said about this
property and work on it is going
ahead with a rush.

Your huniblc servant, family,
mother and sister nre iu onmp just
above Levi Geci 's. less than n mile
from the Sulphur spring, and only
a short distance below Amos post
oflke. The Weather, although some
what warm is exceedingly pleasant,
and we' are very comfortable in
camp. I am told that had we
gone some five miles further up the
Coast Fork we would have found
a much better camping place but,
notwithstanding, we are well
pleased with our location and are
enjoying the fresh mountain air to
a marked degree.
Thus far we have not been
"foundered" on trout nor other
varieties of game, although we
have caught quite a number of the
speckled beauties from the "brook
lets" of which ye ed'tor speaks so
pleasantly.
This section of Lane county is,
without doubt, one of the best
farming sections, and particularly
adapted to the raising of stock.
I visited Tom Gardiner's ranch
on the mountain on the Oakland
road the other day, and found Tom
' 'making hay while the sun shines,"
with the thermometer at 84 deg.
He has a splendid mountain ranch
and being a woodworknian and
blacksmith picks up many a dollar
in course of the year. He also
raises hay and garden stuffs which
he turns off at good profit to the
transient trade.
Mr. Gardiner homcsteaded the
land 16 years ago and has made it
his continuous residence since. It
was a vast growth of fern and
brush timber 16 years ago, but
now ne lias turned some 30 acres
into an excellent field, whereon
grows an abundance ot nay and
garden produce. He has a com
fortable house, gpod out buildings
hop, and an orchard iu bearing.
Your correspondent took dinner
with Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner and
daughter, and it has been many
day since ne lias enjoyed a more
bounteous least and more hospitable
treatment.
Just above our camp is the home
of Mr. Wm. Jones, who some five
years since settled upon the lam
which today grows a mammoth
crop of hay and gram. Mr. Jones
has one of.the best and most com

We had the pleasure of witness
ing the burning of a s'nshiug of
5 or 10 acres, on Mr. Win. Jones'
land the other evening, and it was
a sight that would discount any
Fourth of July fireworks iu Oregon
this year, and far more interesting
to those whose knowledge of forest
fires is not extensive. The fire
was kept nicely under control and
not the least damage was done to
timber or property adjacent.

i,ane county, iiis larm is now
stocked with goats and cattle and
from appearances, a more in
dependent and prosperous farmer
would be hard to find.
Levi Geer, who owns the sulphur
spring, is also the owner of a fine
farm, and aside from raising feed
lor his stock devotes much time
to the operation of the Rouse saw
mill, in which Mr. Geer is finan
cially interested.
ineousesaw mm is an im
portant feature to this section of
Lane county. Besides furnishing
employment for a number of hands,
u circulates considerable money
among those who live above the
mill and have timber to dispose of.
The mill has a capacity of some
8,000 feet per day, and has a planer
in connection, thereby enabling the
proprietors to turn out dressed and
matched material for furnishing
purposes. The product of the mill
is iu demand almost to a board ut
home and in Cottage Grove.
The Black Butte mines some
four miles from above our camp is
of material worth to this com
munity, as nearly every article in
the way of produce finds a ready
market there.
Your correspondent as yet has
been unable to visit the mines, but
hopes to before returning home.
