They hat e already tapped the ledge in tno places and are well qu toward the iegc in a thitd crosscut. King'il Hinds mining superiu temleiit ol the Glenwood Mining C , returned from the district Tuesday. He brought with hi n several very fine samples ol free milling ore taken from the tuuucll iow being driven on the Omega clnlm. This vein was struck several days ngo and has continu ally broadened out until now, after having run on it only about 30 feet it is fully 4 feet wide. Snpt. Hinds has not made an assay of the ore yet, but as it Is the siime ore nnd from the same vein as that taken out of the I.ost Mine claim just ncross the canyon, nnd belong lug to the Glenwood Co., it will run about the same. The ore taken from the Lost Mine claim assays $80.00 work will continue on the Glenwood property during the winter nnd from the wiy ever thing is showing up now the com pany will unve a big showing by next spring. They have an ex cellent piece of property backed by good substantial business men aud men who understand mining in its every department and they have the ore in sight. The Glenwood will be n hummer when they get the machinery In. Herbert Leigh, mining manager, and one of the chief stockholders in the North Fairvlew Mining Co., came in from the property last Wednesday and went on to Eugene for a few days business visit before returning to the camp. In con versation with Mr. Leigh, he speaks enthusiastically of the con dition of the district generally, and predicts not only a splendid season next year, but a great future for the camp. Speaking of the North Kairvicw, Mr. Leigh mentioned the recent strike on the property In the opening up of the lead on the Belle of I'airview claim, which showi from sixteen to forty feet in width for a distance of 3000 feet. It has proved to be a true fissure vein ol oxidized quartz, carrying ten feet of ore that will average about $7 per tou. One hundred thousand tons of this character of ore is al ready blocked out, aud can be mined and milled for $1.50 per ton. At a depth of twenty-three hun dred feet below this blocking this same great body of ore crops out, and the present indications are that there are something over 1,000,000 tons of free milling ore. The slope of Fairvlew ridge where this vein cuts through is at nu angle of about 45 (legs., which will1 give a vertical depth of about 1200 feet 011 the ore body, as well asnu outlet on the west side of the mountain below the snow Hue. The Noith Fair view is favorably spoken of by many men in the district aud Is one of the largest groups in Hohemin, 14 full claims belonging to it, running from tlie west slope of Fnlrview Mountain to the Champion Uasiu road, 11 distance of nearly two mi es. This r.'ceut strike in the Uelle of I'airview is 011 tlie same great vein that shows the rich free milling ore in tbeeast end of the" property. The compatly has devoted its time this season in blocking out these rich ore bodies, nnd the policy of the company will be to continue tills work throughout the winter, with the view of installing a re duction plant at the earliest pos sible moment in the spring. B8ATBN BY ROBBERS 'Die Homo of Jamas Kerr, of How llvr, llroken Into nnd the Old Mnu KIUivfd of Ills Cul(. KOItltWI SRCIJRr. $ IN CASH. Monday evening about three .'clok, footpads entered the home of Jmiiet Kerr, who resides on his f.nm near Wildwuod, on Kow River, and assaulted the old gen tleman, striking him to the floir ivith n (.-tub, and roblwd him of $15000 It seems that Mb Kerr had just returned home from his brother's place with the o.ouey and hud gone up stairs when the robber broke into the house. As he came down stairs he was grablttd bv one of the robbers and struck by another with tt club or some kind of a blunt in strument, nnd he fed to the floor in an unconscious condition and was qilickl) relieved of his money As soon ns he ret'siued consciousness he went to the camp of A. B. Wood, Chief KiiKineerofthe O. S K., and told his story. Mr. Wood 'vired to the marshal, hut as Mr. Kerr was unable to give nny d -scriptloit of his nstailnuts it is utmost impossible to get a clue to the identity of the robbers. Judging from Mr, Kerr's face he must have received n severe blow. The side of his face and his left eye are badly brtiined aud discolored t is hit shoulder also. Il(iUNt) OVUR.

".knocker ' is at once out with his hammer, and the investor learns all about the camp and the prdperty in it. There is no territory in the section worthy of attention, according to the tale told by Mr Knocker, except his own. The (prospective investor becomes a pessimist and leaves the camp without investing. Mr. Knocker has killed a sale, and put a stop to the great industry of mine making in this section, where, if he had told the truth, he would have succeeded in interesting capital aud would no doubt in time have dis posed of his property at a better figure than he first demanded. The knocker is doing a great harm to the industry, aud should lie fought ns bitterly as the fake mining pro moter is at the present time.-Bonds and Mortgages. APPOINfMUNTS OF THE CLKRO.V.
