TIlC fCCOIld team of tile JvtlKGIIC
High School came to tin Grove on
Saturday last to mix up on the
gtldiron with our local Coming
Men of .Ainericn. I he htigcne
boys cniue in larc force to witness
the game and the town was just
full of boys of high degree. Our
boyH were much outclassed and
lost the game, but they put up n
strong front and the lads from the
county scat early in the struggle
discovered that they had to play
ball and keep right at it. Our lads
ranged from 14 to 17 years and the
visiting team lined up from 17 to
20. It was an exciting game and
held the Interest of a large crowd
of spectators throughout the play.
When the piny watfover the boys
from Eugene were pleasantly en
tertained by the Inds ami lassies
here mid all had n merry time.
KltVIVAI. Mkktino.
Hcv. linker, the Texas evange
list, is holding protracted meetings
nt the I'rcsbytei inn Church nightly.
In jKiiut of numbers to attend the
reverend sky pilot seems to have
his share of novitiates who hope
eventually to climb the golden
stairs. Thus far but few sinners
have sought the st.jul of repen
tance, but those on the anxious
sent are momentarily expecting the
Hpirit to move. Rev. Baker is hurl
ing hot s'lot into the devil's ranks
and eagerly waiting to pour the
iiniiointiug oil of salvation over the
repentant sinners. A moral wave
hit the town pretty haid a year ago
and quite a number got in out of
the wet sloue.li of despond, but
some of them backslid. Once again
the gales arc open anil all are in
vited 10 come into the fold.
FlWt MlNI'.KAI. DISPLAY.
One of the handsomest displays
of ore in town can be seen at the
llenson Drug Store. It is all taken
from the 1000 foot tunnel of the
Mu-dck mine under old Hmcmia
mountain. The character of this
fine ore is base and its assay value
is away up v the . hundreds, ;joc
Patterson has given up ncarly-nll
of one of the big show windows of
the stotc to this splendid display of
spuiutins and all who like lo lock
nt fine rich ore can now have an
opportunity to feast their eyes.
Gi'rriNU Uicahv.
During the past week J. V.
Cook has ordered and had shipped
tuthe Musiik mine large invoices
of supplies, thus more than doub
ling the usual quantities provided
for winter consumption in past
years. It is not decided just when
a force of men will be put to work
pn the mine nor how large a force,
but provision is being made for an
event of that kind and it is not at
all unlikely that active and ener
getic work will follow in the near
future.
Hhi.hna Oni5. "
On the return trip from the
Helena mine this week Joe Cole
brought out 4500 pounds of base
ore from the new chute recently
opened up through the lower tun
nel. This ore goes 339 B0".
besides silver, copper and lead.
The freighters will continue to
bring out return loads of this splen
did ore until a par is filled for ship
ment. '

cently purchased by him, -He has
built and now has in use n fine

Tint Funny Fouk.t
Thc colored troupe knowil ns the
Fuuny Four held down the stage
at the Opera House on Tuesday
evening. They did not attract
much of an audience, but they gave
a much better show than several
larger troupes that have visited this
town. Their performance was clean
and continued without waits from
start to finish and was well re
ceived by the audience present;
Gonic Hunting.
Early Sunday morning last a
finely equipped outfit parsed out of
the east limits of town headed for
the Johnson Meadows and the
wilds beyond Bohemia. The guid
ing spirits that accompanied the
caravan ware Mayor Robert Veatch,
Councilman W. C. Johnson, R. W.
Veatch and George Comer. They
aie hooked up for bear, wolves and
deer and expect to begone over a
week. When they get back there
will be a new set of wonderful ad
ventures put on the market.
Since the above was put in cold
type these doughty hunters have
returned. They got as far as the
Musick mine in Bohemia, from
whence they intended to pack. At
this point they ran into a .snow
storm; the m ealher was mighty for
bidding and there was 110 telling
how long it would last so the hunt
was abandoned and they regret
fully took the back track. Their
friends are much disappointed for it
has cut oirthe supply of yarns that
were relied upon to enliven the
coining winter evenings.
Tun Chystai. Con. Co.
Through the intercession of H.
D. Scott the Crystal Consolidated
Mining Company has been placed
upon the lists of Ihe Portland Min
nig Exchange. This move will
give the stock of that company a
prestige in eastern markets where
the bulk of the stock will eventu
ally be placed. From this point of
view there is but one sentiment,
and that is. the mines arc all and
more than their promoters claim
for them. This property is being
hnndled by men of integrity and of
worth and standing in this com
munity and the representations
they' make for this property are
honest and truthful and must carry
that weight which will bring suc
cess. Work on tlicse properties is
being systematically prosecuted and
results arc being attained far be
yond the hope of the promoters.
Investors in the stock of the Crys
tal Consolidated Conioaiiv will in
the futuieMiavc cause''- to congratu
late their foresight.
Lloyd's Hoksk Found.
Some four mouths since the fine
riding , animal belonging to George
W. Lloyd one day .suddenly disap
peared while he was saddled and
bridled and left at the foot of llard
scrabble. Scaich was made for the
animal in every diiectiou, but he
had completely vanished and not a
trace of him could be lotiud. Last
week Hilly Higgins and Ben Curry
were on a deer hunt beyond the
Adams mountain and discovered
the horse down in a deep ravine
and very sadly emaciated. There
was some five acres for him to feed
on but not a drop of water until
the recent rains. The horse must
have slid off the trail into the ra
vine, for there is no way of getting
him out. Mr. Lloyd, Billy Hig
gins and Ben Curry have gone to
the rescue, of the poor animal and
will build a trail and get him out of
bis prison ravine.

S. Guy Hirsch has billed Cottage
Grove this week for the entertain
ment you will read about in another
column. If the show is as lively
and up-to-date as the agent, it will
be n good thing. You have all to
gain and but a paltry sum to lose
and if the aggregation pans out all
right you can congratulate your
selves that 7011 have entertained
angels unawares. If Mr. Hirsch
is not the biggest liar on earth his
show will be a joy to the enter
tained and a financial success to
thc.cutcrtaiuers. He gnve us seas
on tickets nnd we shall see his show
and if there is any hocus-pocus
about it we will let the people know.
If S, Guy Hirsch' is a fair saniple
of the show, we say take it in and
you will be glad you went.
