Extensive Improvements to be Made, Increasing Capacity of Plant to More Thau Double its Present Output. Another Mine Bonded, and to be Put in Operation. The Black Butte quicksilver mine, sixteen miles south of Cot tage Grove, was closed down last Saturday. In conversation with Mr. W. B. Dennis, superintendent of the same, the Nugget man is in formed that the closing down of the mine is for the purpose of mak ing changes and improvements in the plant. An additional string of condensers will be built, and the capacity of the furnace will be in creased from 40 to 50 tons per day. The company are also getting plans for the construction of a second and new furnace with a capacity of 100 tons per day, thus increasing the capacit) of the present plant from about 40 to 150 tons daily. Pend ing these improvements the plant will be only temporarily shutdown. The Black Butte mine has been operated for almost a year under the superintendance ol Mr. Dennis, and in that time 5000 feet of de velopment work has been done in a most systematic manner, and has proven that the mine will justify the expenditure of an additional large sum of money to increase the output. Last week when in Eugene, Mr, Dennis closed a deal for a bond on the Klk Head quicksilver mine, located in Douglas county, and about five miles westerly from the Black Butte mine, and supposed to be in the same mineral belt. This mine was owned by the Pacific Company of Eugene, composed of the A. G. Hovey estate, J. M. Abrams and A. C. Woodcock. It is equipped with a modern Scott furnace, and wasoperated for about a year, but was closed down upon the death of Mr. Hovey and has not been operated since. It is now the intention of the new company to at once begin operations on this new property with the view of de veloping it in the same systematic manner as has been done at the Black Butte mine. There is good ore in sight at the Elk Head mine, and it is sincerely to be hoped that it will prove to be as extensive as her sister mine, the Black Butte. DANCING SCHOOL AND CLUB I have been solicited to organize a Dancing School and Club in this city. In order to do so and run it on meritorious principles I should have a class of twenty-five mem bers at $2 per member per term. In order to ascertain if my services are desired I have prepared a list which is now in the hands of Mr. Al Churchill. S'lould you think favorable of this and desire to take advantage of my services, call upon and talk with Mr. Churchill. The club will be conducted in an orderly manner; no rowdyism nor objectionable characters admitted. A first class pianist will be em ployed. I am master of twenty five round dances, and I will teach pupils any dance they may desire to be coached upon. In order to interest the ladies I have decided to make the price to them at $1.50 per term for the first term. I have been a successltil teacher nf dancine for ten years. For reference call on or address any of the dancers of Eugene. Respectfully, "Dkacon" Davis. JA It It I EI). c.niisT.r.TTl?U At 10:30 a. m ..
