Aurora Borealis: "Eugene is
putting" forward too many candi
dates for governor. She will in all
probability be ignored in that re
spect. The people are of the
opinion that with a state university
drawing biennially $125,000 of the
taxpayers' money, that city should
go way back and sit down."
Aurora's "Borealis" should re
member that men are usually se
lected for high places on their
merit, and when it comes to merit,
Eugene can produce a pretty
thorough class. A bone sticks in
the throat of many of the county
organs when they think of the bi
ennial appropriation to the Univer
sity of Oregon which happens to
be located at Eugene. If it hap
pened that the little burg of Aurora
was the university seat, would it
appear that the meu who happened
to live there would not be eligible
.to the governorship ol Uregonr
Please answer we don't know
Again Aurora's "Borealis," should
remember that it isn't altogether
Eugene, but Lane county; and
while Lane isn't very greedy, she
is quite apt to stand by her men
who are known to be deserving of
high recognition.
A telegram from Dublin to the
London . Times and New York
Times says that William H. K.
Redmond, M. P., speaking at a
Gorey, County Wexford, meeting
of the United Irish League, said
there never was a time when there
was a better chance than at present
to strike a blow for Ireland. Thanks
be to God, he said, they had lived
to see the day when John Bull had
been caught by the throat by the
men in South Africa, who were
giving him the greatest whaling
he ever got. Mr. Redmond said
he prayed that God might strength
en the Boers until they danced on
John Bull's chest.
A dispatch from Las Cruces, N.
M, announces that the oil borers
at Engle, N. M., have struck an
artesian well at a depth of 200 feet,
which swept 1000 gallons per hour
through a two-inch hole. Engle is
situated in the heart of the famous
Journey of Death Desert, which is
one of the most arid regions known,
and the strike oi water will prove
far more valuable than an oil
gusher. During the Mexican war,
out of a column of 165 soldiers who
attempt to cross the desert, all but
14 perished. Great excitement has
been created by the strike.
A petition is being circulated
this week to raise a fund for the re
pair of the Noonday road above
the Warehouse that was washed
out during the heavy storm two
weeks since. The county will pro
vide $200 and the balance neces
sary for the work must be sub
scribed by our citizens, who are, in
several instances, giving it liberal
support. The amount ueeded is
small and ought to be easily raised,
as our business men derive a direct
benefit from having the road in
passable shape.
Agitation has been started in
Northern Idaho in favor of opening
the Coetir d'.Alene Indian Reserva
tion to white settlers. This reserve,
which partly surrounds Lake Coeur
d'Alene, contains over half a mill
ion acres, including much fertile
land and valuable forests of white
and yellow pine. It is also said to
contain mineral deposits, but their
value cannot be determined while
the land is held as a reserve.
A great many bills are being in
troduced in congress but few ol
them will become laws.

Evening Telegram lKf. 10,
R. J. Jennings, secretary of the
Helena Consolidated Mining &
Milling Company, has just returned
from a tour of inspection of the
company's property in the Bohemia
mining district. He reports great
activity in that camp, notwith
standing the disagreeable weather
during the past two weeks. Heavy
freighting to and from the mines
has been practically suspended for
the winter, on account of the bad
condition of the roads. However,
most of the mines are well supplied
with provisions to last them well
into next Summer, when teaming
will be resumed.
In reference to the Helena mine,
Mr. Jennings says: "The to-stamp
mill on this property is dropping
night and day, grinding out the
yellow metal, and with the present
capacity of the mill the great ore
reserve of the mine could not be
worked out in 100 years. The
rich base ore encountered in No. i
tunnel some time ago still con
tinues. A tunnel has been driven
on the ore chute 106 feet through
solid ore from four to six feet in
width, that assays up in the hun
dreds. A carload is now on the
way to the smelter for sample treat
ment. The character of the ore is
telluride, the great ore of Cripple
Creek Camp in Colorado. A con
servative estimate of the value of
the ore in sight in this chute is$i,
500,000. The work on the No. 4
level, 200 feet below the No. 1, is
being pushed with energy, al
though it will be some time before
this tunnel taps the main. ledge.
lue Helena mine is worked
from five levels, the greatest depth
reached being 400 feet. Only the
free-milling ores are treated at the
mill, and the average ore in this
class runs about $23 in free gold to
the ton.
"Since the consolidation of the
Helena No. 1 and Helena No. 2
and the purchase of the White
Wings intervening, for the more
economical working of the property,
a tunnel has been started from the
Champion creek side of Grizzly
Mountain, at the terminus of the
projected Cottage Grove &. Bo
hemia Railroad, that will tap the
ledge nearly 900 feet below the
present deepest workings on the
Helena side of the mountain. Here
new buildings have been erected
and plans and specifications are
being drawn for a large air com
pressor and power drill plant.
"Work 011 the survey of the
projected railroad is progressing
satistactorily, over 28 miles of the
survey having been completed al
ready, but owing to the unfavorable
condition of the weather progress
during the past 10 days has been
somewhat retarded.
"The telephone line connecting
Cottage Grove with the Helena,
Helena No 2 and the Musick mines
has been completed, and now Bo
hemia camp has direct telephonic
communication with the City of
Portland. This line has long been
needed, and it will prove of great
convenience to the mines of the
Bohemia camp.
"The property f the Golden
Star Consolidated Mining & Mill
ing Company, consisting of 14
claims and situated 1 miles west
of the Musick, bids fair to become
one of the big producers of the
district. There are six paralled
veins on me property, and over
$20,000 has already been spent in
actual development work. Since
the purchase by the company of the
Hughes & Hartley group it has
been decided to drive a deep tunnel
irom the nortu side ot the mountain
that will give a vertical denth of
2000 feet from the apex of the
mountain. "
There is one interesting fact in
connection with the development of
the Helena mine, that is producing
from $15,000 to $18,000 monthly,
that is perhaps not generally known,
and that is the high standing of its
consulting engineer. This dis
tinguished individual is Professor
James Putnam Kimball, a graduate
of the scientific department of Har
vard and the Universities of Berlin
and Gottiugen, aud the Freiburg
SuiJwnSl ihllhe stnte
loJ,icn, survevs , Wisconsin
and Illinois, and for n time was
professor of chemistry and economic
geology in the New York State
Agricultural College. He was also
made honorary professor of geology
of Lehigh University. In 1885 lie
was appointed director of the United
States Mint. He is a member of a
number of scientific societies, the
American Institute of Mining
Engineers, and a writer and con
tributor to the scientific journals
both in this country nud in Europe.
It was the report of Professor Kim
ball upon the geology of the Bo
hemia district that is in a large
measure responsible for the confi
dence of investors in this camp.

AN EASTERN LETTER.
The following letter from a Nug
get subscriber who is dwelling this
winter in New York state, will be
of interest to her many friends in
this section:
Hunts, N. Y. Dec. 2, 1901.
Editor Nugget Dear Sir I
will write you a few lines this
morning as I wish to make a change
in my address. Well we have been
having somewhat different weather
here than they are having in Ore
gon, liverytning lias been troze
up with mercury down to 19 de
grees, and 1 tniiiK oeiow tuat one
night. I took a sleigh ride Thanks
giving, something I had not done
11 thirteen years before. The snow
is nearly all gone this morning and
it has been raining some, so you
can see how changeable the climate
is here. Potatoes are selling for 88
and 90 cents a bushel. I am very
much pleased over the news from
the mines. It looks as though we
would get something some day.
Oregon is all right and I expect to
go back in the spring. I expect
everything is green and flowers are
in bloom. Respectfully,
Lydia B. Letson.
The Labor Convention in session
at Scranton, Pa., on Tuesday was
unanimous for the exclusion of
Chinese, but tabled the resolution
to exclude the Japanese.
