The railroad nice ting of last week
is significant of the fact that there
nre lew people in ibis section of
Oregon who do not believe in a
rnihtmdto Hnhcnii.i.. The way in
which the oconle flocked tin to
anlwrrili,. In tilt rit'lil nf wav ftiiul
, M,n,iH,cs (jlc facti jt to j,c 1 and city? Hut someone says what
, reKtt.e, that the road could not!,locs tbe N"Kgct know about the
. . ... f If lvalue of property. The
iiituiliitatitA ami perbans more.
Would such a condition mean any
thing to the property owners of
Cottnce Grove?
If Cottage Grove had ten times
its present population would not
market, beneficial to the producer,

This paper is sincere when it
says that it is the stepping stone to
ten times greater wealth to the in
habitants of this section of country
than has been pictured upon the
hazy canvass of our fondest dreams.
The directors of the Jttdson Rock
Mining Company had n meeting
last Monday and considerable im
portant business was transacted.
The company has met with a splen
did success in disposing of the first
50,000 shares, which were placed
on the local market at 3 cents.
This stock was subscribed for,
practically, by citizens of Cottage
Grove nnd vicinity, who have per
sonal acquaintance with the prop
erty nnd the men nt the head of it.
At the meeting Monday 50,000
more shares were blocked off nt
5 cents per share. It is said that
this stock is all but sold, many ap
plications for stock having been
filed with the secretary pending a
meeting of the board. The man
agement of the company speaks in
high terms of the condition of the
property, and work will be pushed
with nil possible speed this season.
News from the I.e Roy received
here this week are to the effect that
the new strike reported through
these columns last week has
widened to seven feet of solid lend
nnd copper ore, giving the Laura
tunnel a full face of very rich ore.
Superintendent Behne announced
to a reporter this week that as soon
as the codditioti of tbe weather and
roads would permit the hauling of
supplies, the Helena and Musick
mills will be put in active oper
ation for the season's run. Much
ore is blocked out in these mines
means a great deal to the
camp. The Helena alone has $5,
000,000 of ote iu sight.
The Helena people have just let
another 500 foot contract on the
Star, which it is understood will
soon be placed on the dividend list.
Arrangements nre 'also being made
to put iu a new, car and track us
