At Hancock, a Bohemia miner, and another gentleman recently from Colorado,, were up the river the other day and discovered a gravel bed that looked suspicious. They ,,came back to town( secured a gold pan and returned to their find. Testing this gravel by the panning process they found many colors of gold, and in a crevice in the bed rock near by some small nuggets of gold were picked out. With quarts ledges and placer ground adjoining town, the great Bohemia gold mining district only 35 miles away, and the Black Butte quick silver mine only 16 miles away, and all tributary to Cottage Grove, what may not our little city be come a few years hence?

He Pays Glowing Tributes to Wood men of the World and Fraternity. A Hin all but appreciative audi ence greeted I'rof. Meakin nt Mar tins Hall last Tuesday night. Af ter a short but interesting address by Prof. Briggs, a clever dance and song by Sadie and Jhntnie Blair, the speaker of the evening was in troduced and for over an hour lie entertained his audience with his bright thoughts, masterly elo quence, and fascinating readings. Mr. Meakin is a man from hit) feet to the top of his broad and well de veloped head, and his heart is set with a cluster of God's brightest jewels love, thought, hope, fra ternity, happiness, good deeds, ele vation of mankind and uuivcrsnl brotherhood of man. After his lecture, a few moments was taken up in a good 9I1I baud .shake and "scraping up" acquaintance, then came another treat, in the rendition of a number of choice poems. In elocutionary powers the professor is not easily surpassed and as the speaker said: It may be possible that after long years wc may for get the singer, but we will never forget the song; and the manner in which it was sung will leave a lasting impression. TIII5 CIKCMt RKCUITIOtf Wednesday evening the ladies gave a splendid reception at the I. O. O. F. Hall in honor of the dis tinguished guest, and in consider ation of certain courtesies granted by the K. of P. lodge ol this city, and inasmuch as Brother Meakin is a Knight as well as a Woodman, and by virtue of his pronounced stand for fraternity in its broadest conception, the ladies of the Circle kindly invited the Knights and their families to the feast of intel lectual thought. A few fitting in troductory remarks by Attorney Medley, and then the champion of fraternity, John P. Mcokiu, who by the way, has n happy faculty of getting acquainted especially with the sisters without the formal and oftimcs stifT, introductory routine, was presented. It was 10 when he closed, and those present were held enraptured during the hour and a half he graced the ros trum. They were nt a feast of thought, washed down by God's pure nectar "Love," and the in tensity with which all feasted in dicated that in this little bustling town of 1200 souls there are some splendid appetites for such delight ful relishes as the brother sees fit to bestow. When Mr. Meakin had feasted his audience the ladies feasted him. The bill of fare was this time de licious ice cream, cake and lemon ade. A few sparkling stories, so ne beautiful readings, mid then "Good-night God bless you." John P. Meakin, the Circle, the Woodmen and the Knights of Pythias went to their homes feeling better, nobler and purer and a thought stole into the minds of some on that night, at least, that there was, if only for a few hours, a United Brotherhood. Who shall say that the links of a broken chain shall not some day be mended for eternity? K. Ol' 1. MIUJTING. At the meeting of K. of P's last Wednesday night Prof. John P. Meakin was the guest of honor, and under the head of good of the order he made a magnificent 25 minute talk, which went to the heart of every true Pythian brother. SALOON rURCIIASUD.
