MnilaRcrJ. II Pearsons Is highly elated with the condition of nlT.tlrs on the O. & H. K. R. K.. at the prcucnt time. While there are many things that come up from neck to week in the iiiaiiiigement of a business of Midi great mrtKiii tude nstlmt under Mr. Pearsons' supervision, that arc mote or less nminvlllir. tllirllculil! I V thai of SC- cutiiiK "d keeping hands at work however, at the present time things are going on in 11 flourishing con lltlou on the O. & S. K. Ily a stroke of good luck, last week, Mr. Pearsons secured forty more hands, and one of the best Italian bosses In this .section of the country, and therefore he has just cause to feel that things arc running smoothly. Track laying Is the order of the duy at the front, and it is confi dently expected that the steel will bs Uid to the Red bridge by thu week Friday. The total iiutiilcr of men now employed outside ol cooks and other camp men. is eighty, at the present time, and they are to a mm, working on con struction work. The last week has witnessed the laying of a fine side track at the IM Owens place, where the company is now loading some ma,'uiuVi-iil logs for the Long & Hitiglmui lumber mill in this city. A side track was also put In this week at Rooky Point, which is of general importance to the railroad company and for the convenience of the pub lie, and particularly important to the Pacific Timber Co.. ol this oil v, which is now loading some of thi nnest piling sticks as yet shipped outol OregO'.t. As an illustration of the importance of the Pacific Timber Co's business to Cottage Grove, attention is called to the fact that the sticks now being taken from the Rocky Point siding require three flat cars to make the haul to their destination. The new depot of the couip.iny Is now last being completed mid Mr Pearsons hopes to be installed in the course of a few weeks. It will be nicely fitted up and will certainly Ik: an ornament to the city. The new track running around to the south from the west side of the new dcMit is now laid and is of much convenience to the company in the matter of handling freight and switching. The company also re ceived this week a large donkey engine and boiler which will go to the front in n few days and will lie used In the clearing of the right of way from the Red bridge to the Warehouse. Speaking of the Oregon Securi ties Co., Mr. Pearsons stated that A. II. Wood was at the mines this week looking after some technical points with regard to the running of the long tunnel connecting the Champion witli the Musiek mine. The work 011 the concentration of the new mills nt the head of Champion creek canyon is going on rapidly under the personal man agement of Superintendent Math ews, lie also has a crew of men busily engaged setting the electric wire poles up Champion creek to be in readiness to convey the elec tric spark the moment the big dy namos are in position. Work an the new road in the canyon is progressing nicely. When the work was started a swamping crew was started to work at cither end, and a few 'days ago they met, completing their work of cutting and clearing the timber from the road bed. It Is stated that the road will be completed in three weeks. MININGNOTES. August Stnsche was in from Ilo hemia this week, Aug Swausou is in from the Jmlson Rock this week. G.G.Warner is down from his mining property in Bohemia this week. Frank Jennings, who came in from Hohemia a lew days ago. spent Wednesday in Roseburg. It is announced that extensive work is now being planned for the Golden Rule property at Benson. James johnsou, Secretary of the Hiawatha Mining Co., left this week for the hills' and will start n crew of men at development work. llert Hurt came In Wednesday from lloliumlu. Mr. Hurt Is with the Oregon Securities Co., and states that things hid humming ut the camp. Work Is progressing rapidly on thu big tunnel connecting the Mil sick mid tuo Clmniplon, the tunnel having been driven 103 foot during the Inst thirty days. Wm. I), Root, 11 mining man of forty years experience in Colorado mines, is In Bohemia this week, fie guest of I', J. Hard, and is making nil inspection or the dltlrict in general. W. W. Mnstcrsoti is now at the Champion Basin Mining Co's prop erty and Is driving a lower tunnel 011 the Ajax. The company ex pects to spend the season in devel opment work. Wm. IMwards came in from the hills Monday. Mr. Kd wards has been wotking 011 the well known Pcck-a-boo claim, which has at tracted much attention the last year. He icporls the property looking better than ever. Ktich day now brings people here who are interested and who are contemplating being interested in the mines in Hohemia. Already several outfits have gone in, and it is advised that immediately after the Fourth the town will be filled with miners and property owners going to the hills. F. J. Hard, manager of the Ve suvius, Oregon & Colorado utid the Riverside, arrived in the city last Monday and Tuesday afternoon when the 3 o'clock truiu came in he met his family, Mrs. Hard and daughter, Francis, and sou, Charles. They were also accom panied by W. II Fisher and wife, who go up to take charge of the cook house at the Vesuvius. Mr. Hard will outline the season's work as soon as possible and will start things to humming on all three of the properties, a jiortiou of his crew of men being already 011 the ground. There are two classes of men who arc a serious detriment to any ming camp the chronic optimist and the chronic pesaiuiist. The former paints the atmosphere with id hues, exaggerates prospect holes to dividend payers, and goes into convulsions over half-inch veins and infrequent pockets, booms a mediocre camp to the pro portions of a Golconda and induces capital nud lalior to embark in de velopment of prospects which would not prove remunerative were they followed to the center ol the globe. American Standard. i Foreman Graham, of the I.eRoy,' in 11 letter to President J. L. I.e Roy, who was in the city Monday, is to the effect that development , work is going 011 rapidly at the big' mine. Mr. Graham also states, that the ground Is now breaking easier than for a number ol weeks past and that the machine drills are 1 making rapid headway in the long ' tunnel. The company has some fifty cords of wood on hand and supplies sufficient to last until the new road up Champion creek is completed, which will be a big item in the matter of lessening freight to , the mine. The confidence of the men who have been wotking in the mine the past winter is very pleas ing to Mr. I.eRoy, several of them signing for stock and paying for it out of their wages. The last to take advantage of this means to se cure stock was Carl Graham, brother of the mining manager, who came in the other day to at tend the carnival, and while here placed his order for 1000 shares of the company's stock. Mel O. Warner, of whom much has been said in the columns of the Nugget regarding the erection ofu( smelter in Hohemia, was in Cot-, tage Grove last Saturday, and in j conversation with 11 Nugget man regarding the project that is today 1 of much importance to miners in' the district, Mr. Warner said: "We expect to make n tourol' Hohemia for the purpose of making . contracts for ore to smelt With the assurance of ore enough to 1 warrant the erection of the smelter 1 work on the plant will follow and ' as I have faith in the prospects I ; also have faith in the story that a 1 smelter will be in operation some-1 wheic in the district of Bohemia. ! We are ready to put up the ma-' chine anil the only thing lacking so far is this matter of n sufficiency of ores to work on. We expect to start to the hills about the sixth of July. As one of my party is "now in the hills down south, and I have had no reply to my advices as to date of starting on this trip, it may be postponed for n short time only. I think at least by the fifteenth, but hope to make the start on time first mentioned. man I WILL MAKE ON Special Prices in HEAVY HARNESS Until July 1st, 1903 Come and see me. My Stock is complete.
