most proierouH, marked witli the

since the cmnp .w.isjktnnvn tojbe

Last week a Nugget mnn in the
company of I'. J. Catterliu and Dr.
J. II. Kcefer. president of tile Jtld
sou Rock Mining Co.. of Portland,
0. H. Clement, of liuene. mid
Frank I.eRoy, of thneity, took the
Oregon M: Southeastern morning
tnin lor the hills. A run of a few
mile brought the party lo the
logging spur which puts through
the Limebaugh place to thel.oug
& llingham Lumber Co's c.nnp.
Here the puty took. advantage of
nn opportunity to visit the lower
logging cmnp where some twelve
men were at work. The logs at
the present time are being taken
some 3,000 feet from the lira log
ging engine, the second engine ami
crew being stationed about 15011
feet above the first With the aid
of tile two out'its logs scaling nb.ut
30.000 feet of lumber are brought
down, loaded upon the cars of the
O. &S. 15. and by seven o'clock la
. the evening are rolled fro n fie
cars into the mill pond" within the
limits of this city.
Leaving the logging camp ve
again took tliemiin track of the O.
& S. 15. passing over Iosby an I
How river bridges, where crews of
men were at work raising the
bridces two feet and ballasting the
track correspond. About eight lal0 Superintendent Mathews, c

rapid rate, mid from present indi

now thought tint the rails will be
laid to the Red bridge by tlic last of
this month, and it is understood
that the track will be completed to
the Warehouse this season.
Tlic steam shovel is a marvel. A
train of fifteen flat cars is loaded in
forty-five minutes, it requiring only
four dips of the shovel to load n
car. In other words a car is londed
by the steam shovel as quickly as
one shoveler would throw ten
shovels full of gravel on the car.
When the party reoched the end of
tlie track a walk of n couple of
miles was made to W. W. Hawley's
lower ranch, where an excellent entities, where a large force of men

now being conpleted lor '.he estab
lishment of a postoflice at that
point.
Hour miles up the road the Glen
wood property looms up. It is un
derstood that extensive work will
be done on this properly. Alreadv
Mr. Hinds, who wns the
owner and operator of the property
before it was incorporated lias done 1
some extensive work with very ,
satisfactory results. i
Things look lively .it J. I lard's i
camp on the Vesuvius. New btiinl-1
ings have been built and heavy con
tracts for wood arc now being filled.
It is not ueccessiry to say .myth tig
about tlie Vesuvius as a property.
ICvcry one who knows anything
about the district knows the Vesu
vius as one of the richest in the dis
trict. It is stated that Mr. Hard
is now on his return trip from the
east and that he has purchased n
mill plant for the Vesuvius. Mr.
Hard is a rustler mid his many
friends here will be pleased to see
him bring tlie Vesuvius into the
prominent place the mine deserves, j
We struck the first snow just j
above the Vesuvius camp. It was ,
very sort, so much so that the boys 1
in the mines have discardod snow j
shoes, and are now going it "by
lino i". Our party was sore and ;
leg-weary when the summit was j
reached, and we took a sort of a
shullle mid tumble gait down to the I
Mjsick store. Here the genial
merchant and postmaster, Chus. i
Gettys extended the glad hand,

afternoon, but through the repre
sentatiouof Mr. Mathews, to to the
effect that we were a well meaning
set ofteuderfeet, Mrs. J. 1. Hart,
who has charge of the Musick
boarding house, set a tempting
dinner before the tired gang. He
fore tlie boys were half way down
to oie, Mr. Mathews commenced to
comment upon the scarcity of sup-
plies and it is half suspected that
his anxiety was increased during j
the progress of the meal.
The Musick is in n verv satis-'
factory state of development, mid it
is said the shifts are now working
in better ore than was ever before
found in tlie mine.
