from I.oranc lust week. He Hays
that at the Grange meeting on
Saturday of this week steps will be
taken looking to tlie building of n
good and substantial wagon road,
with nn cany grade, in the near
future from Lorntic and the Sius

It will he done by contrlbutiotiHiiud
some assistance from the county
court. A most feasible route has
been looked up and an eleven

reasonable amount of money that
will enable the fur mors to haul
loads of 2000 pounds with cose,

of n good road to the Sitislaw is a
long felt wont and when built will
be a great blessing to all who have
occasion to travel over it.

RiU'ort From Lit Roy.
Superintendent Alfred Johnson
under dote of January 20 writes
the secretary of Le Roy Mining
Company as follows: "The weather
is fine in Hoheniia, but little snow
lias fallen. The machinery is
working fine. We are working
fine. The ore is showing up fine,
and gets better with every shot as
we go downward in the shaft."

J. L, Le Roy, president of the
J a: Koy Mining Company, which
f . 1 . . 1
owns one 01 tne oesi kiiuwh
properties in the Hohemia district,
is in Portland 011 business. Mr.
Le Roy reports continued activity
in Hohemia, with prospects for a
flourishing year.
The Le Koy mine, which is Mr.
Le Roy's special pride, joins the
famous Helena on the west, and w
on the some lode. About 300 feet
of tunnel work has been done on
the property, but present 0er
atious arc concentrated on a shaft
near the confluence of two ore
bodies, one of them five feet wide
nt the surface, and the other eight
feet. It is expected to open up a
big ore body at the junction of the
two ledges with depth. At present
a force of six men is employed at
the Le Roy. Assays have been
obtained on the ore going $96 in
gold, 60 per cent lead, 20 ounces in
silver ond 5 per cent copcr. In
speaking of the camp in general
Mr. Le Roy this morning said:
"I have been in the Hohemia
district nearly seven years and I
can truthfully say that the camp
never looked better than it docs to
day. Considerable work is in
progress and many rich specimens
of ore are to be seen. The Oregon
Colorado is showing up remark
ably well. A big body of base ore
has been opened up. The same
can be said of the Vesuvius, which
has thousands of dollars' worth of
ote blocked out. Many other pros
pects arc showing up wonderfully
well also, and the coming year will
witness the making of many mines.
The Helena is working in very
rich galena ore, and is one of the
big mines of the state.
"The survey of the proposed rail
road from Cottage Grove is Hearing
completion, and I do not look for
any trouble in securing the right of
way." '
