The plant will be installed on the Mountain Lyon claim at the foot of the No. 3 level. In connection with this and which is included 111 the contract, will be installed a log hauling apparatus which will bring the logs to the mill for a distance of 500 feet. (ieo. W. I.loyd left for a ten days business trip to San Francisco last Friday. Mr. Lloyd's business is in the interest ot the Crystal Consoli dated, and when he returns he will have closed a deal for the com pany's 25-ton stnmp mill, which will le Installed at the earliest pos sible moment. With Mr. Lloyd the Ciyslal is beyond the experi mental stage, anil he feels that in tliis piopcrty he has one of the best ' mines in the Pacific Northwest. 1 However. Mr. Lloyd is interested in. other properties and just before he left for San Francisco, In con versation with a reporter, he said: "I was particularly pleased with our property known as the Bo hernia Gold Mining Co., which owns is claims in llohemia Dis trict. The conipanv has expended over fltH.ooo in the last year in the development work of its properties. The principal work has been done' on the Gold Cross and Bohemia ( Girl claims. The drilt on the vein of the Gold Cross has exposed an ore body 535 feet in length. A crosscut shows the width of the vein to be 17 feet. 1 lie average value of all the ore is 510 per ton. Tests show that this ore will con centrate eight to ten tons into one, and the concentrates make fine smelting ore, carrying gold, copper and lead. "On the llohemia Girl a tunnel is being run to tap the Gold Cross vein which passes through the en tire length of the Bohemia Girl claim. This tunnel is over 300 feet in length. Quite a lot of ore has licen found in the tunnel, but the management believes that an additional length of from 200 to 300 feet will have to be driven be fore the Gold Cross vein is reached. "The company during the vear finished paying lor the Gold Cross and the llohemia Girl claims, and its officers feel sure that they have a great mining property in the group. "The other groups belonging to the company show fine veins but only the annual assessment work has been done on them. This year the company proposes to patent all its properties, and next year it will erect 11 large concentrating plant to treat the ore of the Gold Cross group." F. J. Hard, ot the Vesuvius, was in tliis city the last of last week and the first of this, in the interest of his company, his principal busi ness being the purchasing of sup plies, and he was chuck full ot business from morning until night. These supplies run into thousands of pounds and will be taken into the district this week. In connec tion with this he also received and billed to the mine ooo ciiiids of assay supplies, among which was a Cary furnace anil n set or Ains worth's best scales. In conversation with Mr. Hard that gentleman said to a Nugget man. "The early spring has hastened the commencement of work on many properties in the dis trict that heretofore have shown no activity until much later in the season. A large amount of money ' is already represented in ttic de velopment work now going on, iintl in fact there has probably 1 been more work accomplished this spring tliau in nuy lull season lie fore. The roads arc in splendid condition either by way of Hard scrabble or the Warehouse. The new road up Champion basin gives to that part of the district a long needed inlet, and will be greatly, appreciated by the property holders in that section " When the reporter asked of Mr. Ilurd what he thought of the Ore gon & Southeastern R'y,. he said: "It makes rue smile all over when I think of my first trip witli a pack train into the district. I tell you riding on a train halfway and the other half on one of the fine stages from the I-asliion stable beats the old way of travel all to nieces. "Though llohemia is moving slowly, marked improvements can be seen in all directions, and for my part I would be willing to see a regular boom 011, as would be the case if llohemia was in any other section of the world. There is enough ore to be seen, the ledges are so strong and every advantage for economic mining nnd develop ment so apparent, that if the people of Oregon would place more stress on mining than they do on agri cultural and stock raising, the demonstration of llohemia alone would attract to the state the same rush that has marked the growth of the states that have pushed mining to the front, as their most attrac tive feature of production. It is tlie precious metal that everybody wants; that the crowds arc after and the faintest news heads them to the section of the latest strikes. A few people want cattle and horses a few people want hops a few people want farms some want salmon and some prune orchards buj everybody wants gold." Regarding his own interests in Bohemia Mr. Hard said: "There is not 'much going on around my camp at the present time but work. The Vesuvius is running a level from the upraise blocking and pre paring to stope, and will be able to crowd the mill to its utmost ca pacity as soon as I am able to get the machinery installec. Ar the Oregon Colorado we are pushing ahead in the big tunnel, saving ore every day. We ate also starting work in the upper tunnel which will enable us to work in the ore on both ledges, "Capital work wilt be pushed rapidly on the Riverside from the upper workings. There is every evidence that this property will show as much ore as the Vesuvius or Oregon-Colorado before fall."
