Ilohcmia Mining District is
heavily indebted to F.J. Hard for
Ills efforts In placing the
district ' before the mining
world. While he is at the head of
several of the most promising
properties in the district, such as
the Oregon & Colorado Mining nnd
Milling Co. and the Vesuvius, still
he shows no partiality. In his
many writcups that have apiearcd
from time to time in such papers as
the Mining Record and the N. U-
Jotirual for Investors, he lias spared
no pains to cover the entire dis
trict and give credit where credit is
due. The Nugget extends thanks
to Mr. Hard, in behalf of the mine
owners of this district for his very
courteous treatment.
l'rof. Kendall was in this week
after scndiug the entire winter on
his Hcveral properties in liohemia.
He owns the Delta group of three
claims, the Delta, Copper Stain nnd

fairly good rock.

"The goat industry i one that
seems especially commendable to
tho roncliers of this part-of Oregon
and many of them, have found It
very profitable.
Goats are animals that thrive
best on upland and will obtain a
good living when other stock would
almost starve.
, They live mostly pn browse,
though they will readily eat grass,
and enjoy the bark from a young
orchard as heartily as a small boy
would a bottle of jam that was care
lessly left on a lower shelf. f
Ranchers who wish to clear up a
piece of land will find invaluable
assistance in n herd of goats if they
nte allowed to have range there, as i
they will nibble every little shoot
that starts from the stumps of fallen
trees, thus insuring more speedy
decay of the obnoxious stumps, and
every twig or growth of underbrush
will be carelully nipped by them
while it is young and tender thus
preventing the growth of uew
shrubs nnd tilling out the old ones
already on the ground.
Mohair at present is quoted at 30
cents per pound and a band of or
dinary goats should yield an aver
age of two and one half pounds of
mohair. This, of course is an or
dinary grade of Angoras. Many
bands of graded goats vill yield
more but the higher the grade the
...a. a i-..ni.rli.a , Vl A nl.ttm. GA til

commence with the lower grade and a
improve their own flocks by secur
ing a graded buck. The Increase
would add another profit to that of
tire mohair nnd besides getting his
land cleared of undergrowth the
rancher would make a neat little
sum from the land that would other
wise lie Idle until cleared and seed
ed down."
The above article is from the
Drain Nonpariel, and is applicable
to this section. Not only can goats
be raised nt a splendid profit here,
but there are many other stock In
dustries that are sadly overlooked.
Chickens and eggs are always in
demand here at handsome prices.
Ducks, geese and turkeys can be
raised here at a profit by "anyoue
who will take the trouble to go at
it In a business-like manner and
work up a market.
