There is certainly a lack ot m

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.
Safe Place to Trade
Prices Right; Goods Right; Everything Right.
To this end we again repent our gurnntcc, which is Btrong enough to bnr
further argument. If at any time you arc dissatisfied with it purchase mnde
here, return the goods and we will return the money.
