A Potpori of Happenings
in the Land of Future
Millionaires.
The consuniation ot a mining
deal this week which involves one
of the finest groups in Bohemia has
caused quite a flurry in mining
circles. The group of five claim
and mill belonging to Stocks, Har
low and Brush, have been sold to
David Finn, Isaac Thompson an
G. W. 1,10yd. A stock company
has been formed and the former
owners receive of the purchase
price part cash and certain amounts
of the company's stock. Extensiv
improvements will be at once com
menced and vigorously pushed for
ward. A new method of working
the ores will be put in operation
by which it is expected to save all
the values they contain. This
certainly a move in the righ direc
tion, as by the methods of working
the Bohemia ores heretofore
voffue much of their values have
been wasted. The present work
iugsof the mine are now in n good
body of base ore, with indications
of the values increasing as depth is
attained. The closing of this deal
and the transfer of the property
into the hands of these gentlemen,
who are provided with ample
means for thoroughly practical and
extensive development, means
much in the way o'f encouragement
and greater activity all over the
district. The beginning of brighter
days lor the miners of Bohemia is
dawning, and when the company
lias demonstrated the practicability
of extracting all the values con
tained in the ores, by the new
methods they will inaugurate,
nothing can stop. Bohemia from
taking , her rightful place as the
greatest mining district in- the
Northwest.
This week has witnessed the
payment of the last note of $500
that was outstanding against the
property of school district No. 45,
given on May 8, 1896, in liquida
tion of the indebtedness on the
grounds and building of the Cot
tage Grove school. When the in
debtedness was incurred the di
rectors were S. R. Piper, O. F.
linox and F. S. Younger, and the
amount was $2500, divided into
five notes of $500 each and draw
ing 9 per cent interest. By the
payment of this last note every dol
lar of indebtedness has been
.settled on this fine property and
splendid school, and the people of
Cottage Grove are to be congratu
lated in the possession and enjoy
ment of so noble a seat of learning
for the present and future genera
tions, and can truthfully say:
A school we have, a good one too,
Where learning's rich domain
la open to our children's feet,
Whose treasures they may gain.
The pearls of Knowledge llo exposed
More precious than fine gold,
And those who will may freely seek
And gather wealth untold.
Steady Progress all Along
the Golden Hills and a
Surprise in Store.
The International Mining Con
gress in session this week at Boise
City, Idaho, portends much lasting
good for all of the vast mineral
zone of the Northwest. Delegates
were there from all over the United
States, Alaska and Mexico. Many
papers were read on the varied
subjects within the sphere of min
ing by eminent men who have de
voted their best energies 'through
life to the study of geology and
mineralogy. The bringihg . to
gether for the exchange of ideas on
this coast at the present time so
large a body of practical mining
men augurs well for the future de
velopment of the entire -northwest.
From every prominent district a
fincarray of specimeus were on ex
hibition. A fine lot from Bohemia
were there and must have attracted
a great deal of attention and will,
no doubt, be the means of bringing
intending investors this way in the
pear future.
Bohemh, July 22, 1901.
July 15th is 110 longer a menace
to the boys, and cause them to
carry' stones to defend themselves
with or "shie" up a tree when a
deer should meet them on the trail
Now they carry their taget gun and
venison steak or venison stew sup
ply the "long felt want." It is an
agreeable change from beans and
bacon, or bacon and beans.
A new change of business affairs
has taken place in the city.
J. W Cook and lady have taken
up their resideuce at the office of
the Musick Co. The company has
started up development work again
Gettys has moved the postofrice
and store to the old stand.
Mrs. Kent is keeping the board
ing House, wlucli snows new signs
of life and cheers the appetite of
the bacelor life of the prospectors
and is patronized by them on mail
days for a change to revive
memories of home, etc.
The stage has begun its three
trips per week and comes in loaded
Monday, Wednesday and Friday
evenings.
The scene at the postoffice last
Friday evening was quite "old
time like" and revived the drooping
spirits of the miners, making them
hope" for better times again and
dream of fortunes awaiting them.
"Grandpa" Veatch wandered
into the city the other morning and
now roaming over the hills with
his son, Rob the ranger.
Messrs. Meadows and Lilly made
flying trip to the Grove the fore
part of last week and returned Fri
day.
Gilbertson Bros, and . Andrew
Brund are working on the Confi
dence property, now owned by F.
Hard of Portland.
G. W. Lloyd came in on Friday's
stage to take a few "snap shots" at
the camp, inspect the work he is
superintending for his company and
eet things "ship-shape" for his
Boston people that will be here
soon, unless further delayed.
Godfrey Graber is helping Mr.
Hcward of Kellog, Ore., do the
annual -labor on the latter's claim
below Elephant mountain.
John Graber is working over on
Horse Heaven.
Albert Ziniker, after two weeks
"fourth" and getting acquainted
with his wife, is working at the
Musick mine.
We are pleased to note the im
provement made on another com
mg mine in the camp. It is the
Victor and Contention claims be
longing to the Bohemia Gold
Mining Co. They are located on
the south end of Jackass ridge
The Victor being the lower and
having a half-pitch from end center
to ena center, will gam tully 1 500
feet of perpendicular depth. It
has a fine mineralized quartz ledge
five feet across. The Contention is
an extension, not so steep, but will
gain about 800 feet more of depth.
The ledge where opened on this
claim is over twenty feet wide as
shown by the crosscut. The "out
croppings" are equal to anything
in the district, and assays are from
?4 to better than $2000. We con
gratulate the company on the acqui
sition of such fine property, and
predict a rich return for the money
invested, providing they don't rest
on their oars and go to sleep, like
so many people that make a good
start and look for dividends the
first year or two.
Mr. Adams, one of the pioneer
prospectors of the camp, is doing
the annual work on the Ophir,
Rattler and other properties be is
interested in close to the Musick
mine. The old srentleman seems
to feel quite young yet and feels
proud of his ability to do one foot
of tunnel per day and not be laid
up the next.
The Helena's 10 stamps arc con
tinually dropping and separating
the gold from the rock as of yore,
The report was circulated, about
the first of the month, that the mill
was going to shut down indefinitely
but the management is too well
pleased over the monthly "bricks"
and dividends to consider anything
of that kind.
Rob Veatch will have some bear
"stories" to entertain his Grove
friends with this winter, and to
prove them (the stories) authentic
lie will have his trophy of a large
brown bear skin to testify for itself.
Yesterday while making his trip
on the west side of Old Bohemia he
succeeded in making a fine "plunk"
shot at long range and "Old Bruin"
continued his dreams as if nothing
had happened at all.
Rancer Kent had the misfortune
to lose his fine cold watch last
Saturday.
Tom Brown of Roseburg who is
doing some work on his claims
near the Johnson Meadows, was in
the city the first of the week. He
seems to think the camp will "win
out" and be a sure thing as he has
in the Oregon King suit.
Orin Brush went to the Grove to
sec his mother.
Mr. Harlow is paying a visit to
his family in the valley.
Whittier (Bohemia's own) the
poet, humorist, sculptor and car
toonist, has a very fine collection
of busts which he has made out of
talc from the Musick mine. They
are well executed and true to life.
One acquainted with the subject
would recognize the reproduction.
How many "nuggets" he concealed
in the craneuras we will leave for
him to divulge or others to guess.
There ought to be some compensa
tion for so meritorious work.
In our next we hope to be able
to give the Nugget readers .a sur
prise and the- prospectors oj Bo
hemia camp some encouragement.

A dispatch says that the next

by the General Land Office, which
will be ready lor distribution one
year hence, will be on practically

cept that Commissioner Hermann
intends to mark across its face the
route traveled by the Lewis and
Clark exploration party from Vir
ginia to the Columbia river and re
turn. Commissioner Herman says
the accomplishments of this expe
dition have not yet been properly
recognized by the government, and
he intends in this way to call at
tention to that history making
event. Incidentally he contends it
will call attention to Portlaud
