Yesterday the promoters, engin
ecrs and force of surveyors for the
Cottage Grove and Bohemia rail
road line arrived in town and will
take the field immediately. It is
understood that the survey will in
clude maps and specifications of all
the culverts, cuts and fills, bridges
and tresscls over the route. In the
negotiations for depot sight and
terminal grounds matters are pro
gressing finely and will work them
selves out into substantial results.
Next week the Nugget will be able
to state more clearly the definite
plans arrived at and give minute
detail of the progress of the work
Lots or euess work is being in
dulged in. but facts cannot be stated
until they mature.
Since the confinement of the
murderer of President McKinley in
the penitentiary at Auburn several
thousand letters have been received
for him at the prison, as well as a
large number of express packages
containing flowers and fruit. The
letters, flowers and fruit have neer
reached the condemn man. The
flowers and fruit, it is learned, have
been sent by Christian Scientists,
as have a number of letters consol
ing Jiim in his last momeuts. Other
letters have come from cranks who
have written about the species of
torture to which they would put
him if they had the execution of
justice in his case.
The good people of Eugene are
still haggling over the advisability
of digging up an $8,000 bonus for
the big woolen mill. It is prefect!
proper that Eugeneites should be
conservative in the matter; but
when the company agrees to build
an establishment, the operation of
which necessitates a payroll running
into the thousands annually, and
particularly expresses that it does
not want and does not expect one
cent of the bonus until the build
ings are up and the plant is ready
for operation; and, furthermore,
guarantees and offers to fix bonds
to the effect that it will keep the
mill in operation for a period of
ten years, it is high time for the
people of the county seat town to
scrape.a little moss off their backs
and get in and hustle, keeping in
mind the contribution of a man
w.bose only interest is in the general
welfare of Lane County, that bus
tier up at Walterville, plain,
straight-forward Walt Shumate.
Come, gentlemen of Eugene, don't
let our country merchants put you
to sname.
A dispatch froth Washington
says: It is possible that a liberal
building policy with respect to naval
ships will be urged upon Congress
at the approaching session. No
authorization for new construction
was given by Congress at the last
session, owing in part to a disagree
ment as to the respective merits of
siugle and superimposed turrets.
Congress contented itself with
direction to the Navy Department
to submit full plans for two battle
ships and two armored cruisers to
it at the approaching session, so
that the body could itself choose
between the designs. Secretary
Long, however, does not regard
himself as estopped by thisdiiection
from recommending the construe
tion of additional warships and as a
full year has been lost in the
execution of the naval building
scheme laid down by the policy
board, and as more time has been
lost through the great delay in
construction of the ships already
authorized and contracted for,
owing to the steel strike, a consid
erable increase must be recom
mended in order to avoid falling
hopelessly behind n the erection
of the ideal American' Navy.

President P. J. Jennings of the
Helena and the Mttsick Mining &
Milling Companies of the Bohemia
district, announces that arrange
ments have been completed for
building a railroad from Cottage
Grove, southcastly, a distance of
35 miles through a region of heavy
timber to the Bohemia mines. It
is expected that construction work
will be commenced this Fall and
that about half the track will be
laid before Spring. Connected with
this, though not yet wholly arranged
for, is the project of building a
smelter, either at Portland or in
the Bohemia district. The smelter
enterprise is expected to follow the
completion of the railroad and it is
deemed probable that both will be
in operation in less than a year
from date.
"We have gone so far," said Mr,
Jennings yesterday, "that the rest
of the work is easy. We have
$500,000 assured for the railroad,
largely on the basis of the mineral
richness of the district as shown by
developments already made. Cap
ital is eager to build an adequate
smelter, but there would be no use
for the smelter without the railroad,
so the railroad is to go first. This
is the natural order. I have not a
doubt that the smelter will be pro
vided when we are ready for it.
The field is too important to be
neglected and the problem of ore,
fuel and fluxes practically solves
itself h;re."
The money for the railroad enter
prise will be supplied by Eastern
capitalists. Incorporation articles
will soon be filed, but 111 the mean
time President Jennings has been
authorized to go ahead with the
survey, in order that no time be
lost. A recounoissance of the
country was made seveial months
ago and the general course of the
road was selected. Now the more
accurate location is to be deter
mined. Russell Kimball of Red
Lodge, Mont., one of the two engi
neers who will have charge of the
work, has already arrived, and
Engineer A. B. Wood of Tacoma
the other partner in the survey, will
arrive 111 Portland Wednesday
They will start for Cottage Grove
with a crew Thursday morning,
and will immediately take the field
The formal acts of organizing the
corporation 'will proceed more
leisurely. It is not yet disclosed
who is providing the money for this
improvement.
Professor James P. Kimball, an
eminent chemist, economical geolo
gist and mining engineer, who was
director ot the United states mint
in Cleveland's first administration,
is in Portland and will go in to the
Bohemia mines. He is consulting
engineer for the consolidated Helena
and Mustek properties. He is the
man sent out by Henry Villard to
make an examination of those
mines a year ago, but his report,
though in all respects favorable, did
the district no good at the time, as
Mr. Villard was dead before the
report was completed. But Professor
Kimball is associated with heavy
financial interests in New York, as
well as being an independent engi
neer, and his presence here is taken
as evidence that large development
operations for that district are be
ginning. Thus far only the ores
that contained free milling gold
have been worked, and even with
this limitation the mines have been
profitable. But theores of Bohemia
are smelting ores, and for the want
of transportation some of the best
mines in the camp have been com
pelled to remain idle. The ores
contain a high per cent of iead,
copper, gold and silver. It is
promised that the Bohemia camp,
when the proposed railroad shall
have been completed, will surpass
the celebrated Couer d' Alene dis
trict. Mr. Jennings yesterday received
a letter from the superintendent of
the Helena mine announcing that
n new strike of very rich ore had
been made. The ledge is five feet
wide and it assays as high as $103
in gold. A box filled with speci
mens of the ore from the strike was
also received, and they arc as fine
as could be desired. The to-statnp
mill on the Helena is running night
and day, and making handsome
returns. This mine is one of the
few that have paid.
The property known as "White
wings," lying between Helena No
1 and Helena No s, lias just been
purchased by the Helena Consoli
dated Mining & Milling Company
President Jennings has been
carefully watching the development
of the Helena mine and became
convinced that the "Whitewings"
was very valuable property, and as
Jennings Bros. & Bruncau ore
owners of about 90 per cent of the
stock of the Helena Consolidated
Mining it Milling Company, they
deemed it best for their own and
other stockholders' interests to ob
tain control of this property if
possible, and by careful work have
finally succeeded in closing the
deal.
The purchase of the "White-
wings" makes one complete prop
erty of the iiewcousolidation, which
takes in Grizzly Mountain, com
mencing in Horse Heaven Creek
and running direct over the
Calapooia range down into
Champion Creek, which is a
distance of two miles continuous on
the Helena lode, and which will be
the turminus of the Cottage Grove
and Bohemia Railroad hue.
The company is now arranging
to drive a working tunnel from the
Champion creek side through the
ground formerly known as Helena
No 2, direct through the "White
wings' ' into the Helena. This tun
nel wilt give a depth on the
property when it reaches "White
wings" of 1800 feet, and will give
drainage to tne mine. I he com
pany announces that it will open
up and block out millions of
dollars worth of ore. It will put
in a power plant on Champion
creek of sufficient capacity to run
machine drills. It will probably
take 13 to 15 months to complete
this work. By that time it is ex
pected the railroad will be completed
to the ore bins and will be ready to
carry tne smelting ores already
blocked out in the mine.

The flitting of spectacles or eye
glasses is purely c mechanical
science, requiring a thorough know
ledge of refraction and the eye, th
aim being' to correct deformities
ot the eve, which are, nearly
always congenial. The real science
of the work lies in the scieu
list s ability to measure to an
exact nicety the errors of refrac
tion existing on account of these de
formities. To make these corrections
we use commonly three kinds of
lenses, viz: Spheres, cylinders and
prisms. Using these lenses separ
ately and in combination with each
other there can be made more
combinations all of which are ab
solutely necessary than are words
in the English language. Thi
should prove to the average thinker
that tuere should be no such thing
as guesswork, and that it cannot
be done by tne old-fashioned "cut
and try" system of mechanics.
Therefore, when your optician or
oculist encourages you to buy from
him by telling you if they don't fit
he will "change them," you at least
have cause to lose confidence in his
ability as a refractionist, for the
scientific flitting of glasses is farther
from the "cut and try " system than
any other known science, and if
he cannot fit you the first time
what assurance have you that he
can ever do it? He proves at once
that he is guessing at it
Dr. A. T. Roberts has a thorough
knowledge of everything pertaining
to the eye, and has all the latest
scientific instruments necessary for
tne most intricate examinations and
gurantees his corrections to be as
perfect as can possibly be made
through artificial refraction.
He particularly solicits a call from
those who have tried in vain to get
perfect work in this line. Exami

and a new company, known as ihcKtai Consolidated .Alining
Company, Iiiih been organised ami incorporated with a
capitalization of $1,000,000, divided into 1,000,000 shares of
the pur value of f I per share. Of this amount of slock llie
company has decided to oiler for sale, at a very low llg'ire,
100,000 shares for thu purisme of completing certain de
