Friday, August 23, i9- Continued (ram FirM ps. There is certainly a lack ot m trxt in this chv araotiK the rcsi dence owners in the matter street and lawn decorations, par ticularly that of the streets. nearly all the towns in Oregon mnnli attention is Daid to the of shade and ornamental trees. Today Eugene owes much nf tier far-famed beauty to her beautiful lawns and magnificent shade trees which border her broad direction. Here the native manle. ash and fir is to be had for the planting, not a street in the town is lined by trees A few, and only a few property owners, set out a few trees in front of their homes last season. Those trees are now tak ing on growth and anyone can be convinced in a moment of the ini proved appearance of the propeity It is to our credit to be honest with ourselves. And in turning the X rays of honesty upon ourselves, we must admit that, notwithstanding that material improvement has been made in Cottage Grove in the past two years, the town is just a little ragged and untrimmed yet, The owners of property rdd much to the worth of their property, say nothing of untold beauty, by bor dering their homes with trees The practice should be general and at once for ever year's delay retards the future magnificence of our streets. Eugene is talking of having a street fair. Eugene is a hustler and anything she goes into is bound to be pretty much of a suc cess for she has the people training with her who are inclined to make things "go" anyway. However this street fair business is not the proper thing and we trust the good people down about the county seat of Lane, one of the best counties in Oregon, will look a couple of times before ihey jump. A county fair is the proper thing. The street fair would be all right if it went far enough, but it doesn't. Set up a Lane County Fair Association on honest business principles and the whole county will fall in line and the county seat town can have about 85 per cent of her entire iamily on hand in honor of the event. An organization of this kind is needed and should not longer be kept in the back ground A Grants Pass dispatch says that the Booth-Kelley Company has se cured an option for forty days on the Springfield mill. This is con sidered to be but little less than the purchase of the property and will amount to that eventually. The Springfield mills have for some time been owned by a Portland company, composed of Joseph faimon, C. A. Dolph, Henry Mc Ginn and Rufus Mallory. The mills were operated by lessees, H, A.Skiels&Co. The Booth-Kelly people are to double the equipment mcnt of the mills so soon as they get control, making them of 60,000 feet daily capacity. This mill will be number four on the list of the Booth-Kelly mills, making their combined daily output 350,000 feet With night shifts this output will be doubled. They virtually own and control the lumbering business from Grants Pass toUugene. The Columbia river salmon catch this year is in mauy respects the most remarkable in the history of the iudustry. Careful estimates place the pack at 254,500 cases, while the cold storages have handled about 2700 tons, equivalent to about 83,000 cases. This means that the total catch amounts to 26, 942, 500 pounds of salmon, making 4, total outlay for raw material of $1, 200, OOO. tack of mountain fever. Here also dwells A. D. Whittier, the poet, sculptor ntul genial gentleman, who molds some really fine pieces out of the white talc that comes from the initios. Just below and on the outskirts of the village Mineral John has n magnificent exhibit of largechunks of ore from over 300 ledges through ous the district. He is putting up small character cabinets repre sentative of the various ledges and claims of the district which he in tends disposing of at a moderate figure. These cabinets can be shipped at small expense to any point, and when viewed will give one an excellent idea of the many varieties of mineral-bearing rock in this district. He is engaged in most laudable purpose for the ad vancement of the camp, and any mining man can in an hour's ex' amiuation of his exhibit gain more iuformation than he could acquire in weeks of weary wandering over the towering hills and steep slopes of this great mineral zone. We were shown through the Musick mine by Mr. Cook, who pointed out the different bodies o rich ore. A small force at develop ment work is all that at present is doing in the mine. A drift being run in the lower level to strike an ore shute, and from pres ent indications a fine body of ore will soon be met with. The next morning after arrival in tne camp touna us on top 01 Fairview. Here a magnificent pano rama of Bohemia district is spread out to view. As far as the eye can reach in every direction the moun tain peaks, deep canyons and thickly timbered hillsides fill the landscape all about. On the south and west slopes of Cat, Elephant and Fairview moun' tains we find the following: H. C. Marcus is doing some de velopment work and completing a good aud substantial cabin ou his property on Cat mountain. b. J. Brand is opening up a new ledge on his mine on Elephant, while in close proximity to this the White Bear and Black Diamond claims, owned by Charley Gettys, are showing up fine ledges of galena. further south we hnd a promis ing group ot claims, the lhree lontes, owned by Al Churchill, the Belle of Fairview, owned by Al Walker and the Damon, owned by C. L. Johnson et al., are worthy of mention as future producers. Adjoining these is the Gem and two other claims reaching to the flagstaff on Fairview mountain. These are the property of a com pany under the management ofR. McMurphy and brother of Eugene and are being surveyed for a patent. Next comes the Harlow, Stocks and Brush and then the Ziniker and Graber brothers' group of mines. These claims, with a few others we were unable to get the names of, cover the west slope and are easy of access by the wagon road up Hardscrabble. The ledges in this section are very large and well defined and carry good aver age values, with now and then ex ceeding high assays. The splen did body of timber which covers this area of steep mountain slopes is of great value for future mining purposes. Going down City creek the Wall Street mine was looked at. Oliver Gilbertson is doing the contract work and expects the property to show up well. About three miles down Grouse creek is located the Oregon-Colorado under the man agement of F. J. Hard. A force of six men is at work pushing a tunnel in on the ledge aud work will be continued for 600 feet with out let up. They are now in about 50 feet and have a ledge o feet across of splendid ore. Many tons are now on the dump and before the winter is gone there will be thousands of tons taken out. Mr. Hard will sack and ship out a tou for sampling purposes and as a guide for the machinery that will be put up at the mine uext summer. From here our route lay up the Holy Smoke trail and along the saddle that lends up and over Grouse mountain, passing ranny fine properties on the way. A drop of half n ruile down the east slope took us past the Noonday mill at the foot of the hill aud soon landed us at the famous Helena Consoli dated, where the night was spent, and in the morning we were shown over the workings of mill ami mine by James Jennings mid Charlev Hrttneau. This is indeed a won- dentil property, t wenty men arc employed in the mine sloping out ore and doing development work. Only five stamps arc now dropping on account of a scarcity of water, A breakdown on the other five stamps is being repaired by putting in a new cam shaft. They have about 250 tons of fine grade ore in the mill bunkers and arc crushing about 12 tons daily now. On leaving the Helena the ascent of Grizzly was made and a fine view of that section of the district was bad. Then along the saddle and up the north slope of Grouse to the old Knott mine, which is idle this summer. From this point down the Devil's slide, past the Broadway and several other fine groups aud back to the Musick to meet the stage for the return home. J. W. Cook and wife, W. W. Hawley and wife, Norman Hawley and A. D. Whittier set out last Monday from the Musick mine for a hunt and exploration in and about the Cowhorn country, some thirty miles distant from Bohemia. They expect to bring in lots of big game. On the way out was seen Alex Sparrow and Cull Reiser, who arc placering on Sharp's Creek. It was but 9 o'clock in the morning and Mr. Reiser said they had taken out $15 in coarse gold already that morning and there was plenty of fine gold in the sluice boxes. He had sent out for copper plates and when they arrive and are put in place he ex pects to do much better. But little placering has ever been done on this creek, and now that a good start has been made it is not unlikely that many others will turn their attention to sluicing the virgin gold from the sands ot Sharp's Creek. A limit to our space this week precludes further details of the trip, but our next issue will contain mention of the many ledges seen and miners met in the greatest of all mineral zones the sun ever shown upon. Our faith in Bo hemia has always been high, but now after having had revealed (o our eyes the immense bodies of ore on view our faith is simply un hounded.
