The first ciiiup was made on the llruiubaugh and Juckson Kile places, from which thousands of logs were taken aboard the fiat ctrs, brought to this city and turned in to lumber, nud then sent aboard cars to the markets of the world Later 011 the logging camp was established at llarlows, uud now further up the stream. Hvery day huge logs arc brought in aboard the cars uud almost ns fast as they reach the dump'ng grounds of the company they nri rfiltril on the enrriatre. Thousands uiku thousands of ft., of some of tie best lumber on the Pacific coast has gone out from this milt aboard the Southern Pacific carH, to California, Utah and other markets. The great trouble with the company has been the (nihility of the Southern Pacific to furnish cars for trausxmalion of the mill's product, uud tlierclore mucli 01 the output is being piled up, waiting transportation factilics.

The Second Annual District Pair held nt Orogou Mineral Springs on the 8th, 9th and 10th, was pro nounced by all who attended as a successful event in every particular. The crowds, while not very larga on account of the inclemency of the weather, wero very enthusiastic in their efforts to make the exhibits show up to the best advant aire. The exhibits weie all good and if it were possible to transfer them to the World's Pair at ht Louis in 1904, thev would make n creditable showing and some of them would evidently take premiums even tuere in competition with all else.

The two year old English Shire stallion exhibited by Felix Currin, would take a premium almost any where Taking it all through, the fair was a decided success and the com mittees in charge are to be con gratulated, but considering the weather it would be advisable to hold these fairs some time in Sep tember.

SMIiLTUR TP.STED. The Improved Mineral Smelter Co' Plant was Tested at the Oiwejco Works this Week with Satis factory Results. Some lime ago the Nugget pub lished a description of a new smelter proposition, owned by the Improved Mineral Smelter Co., or Roseburg. Later on the company installed one or their smelters at Oswego, for the purpose of testing its merits. Tuesday the Nugget received the following advices, which are gratifying, and which promise to revolutionize smelting the world over. Nugget, Cottage Grove, Ore: The test in our new smelter came ofT to-day, aud proved to be a howl ing success, The test was made in the presence of fifteen interested people, namely: Chas Ladd, Mr. Snow, Mr. Hcbee, William & Adams, the two distinguished met allurgists for the Ladd Metals Co., T. R. Sheridan, of Roseburg.T. K. Richardson, Mr. Poor, of Idaho, Hlanchard & Williams, the inven tors, W. C. Clinginpeel, C. A. Sehlbrede, Walter and Robert Richardson and Dr. Kent. We used ore which went 80 per cent silica. Every one expresses them selves in saying that the furnace was much more of a success than they expected. Yours truly, T. K. Richardson. TAKES THE PREMIUM. Thomas Cox, of Lilthnm, brought to the Nugget olllce yesterdny three liurbank potatoes the largest one measuring 11 Inches. Mr Cox dug fifteen potatoes that weighed 26 pounds. He has about two acres In potatoes and will have about "60 bushels when they arc all dug. Con sidering that this Is the first yenr's crop on this ground It is evident that the yield will be much greater next year as he Informs the N'ugget that lout year ho produced 40 bushels on new ground anil this year SO bushels from the same piece of ground.

Thinks the Camp has Bright Future Will Probably Spend Several Weeks In Camp Next Year. Fred McMillan, one or the best known metallurgists and mining ex perts in the West visited Bohemia last week. Mr. McMillan did not have time to go into detail this trip as his time was limited, at the same time the work he had in hand gave him a rair opportunity to become ac quainted with many or the salient points or the district. Like many others he cannot pass as to the depth or the ore, but he states that if the ore chutes go down there is no limit to the great ftiture of the camp. He compares the district with Tonopah, Nevada, and many other famous camps. bpeakmg of the Oregon Securi ties, particularly the Musick, he stated that while he had not ex amined the ores to the extent of becoming acquainted with the values carried, he was prepared to say that if the ores of the Musick carry the values given out that the Oregon Securities has at least $1, 500,000 in sight. He also commented favorably on the Champion lead, and predicts that the company, and many others for that matter, have a very bright future. Mr. McMillan finds the district one of the most interesting that it has been his lot to visit, and states that he shall make every effort to spend several weeks iu the camp next season. COUNCIL MEETINQ. Special Meeting Held Monday Eve ningCity to Have Arc Lights Night Watchman Appointed. The City Council met iu special session Monday evening, Oct. 12, to take under advisement the pro posal of W. H. Abrams, manager of the Cottage Grove Electric Light Company. Manager Abrams has just com pleted the installation of his new light plant, and in view of some solicitation for arc lights on Main street, he proposed to the council that he would furnish five 60-candle arc lights on Main street to take the place of some 14 incondesceuts now in use, keep the same in run ning order without cost to the city, providing the city would extend the present contract for a period of five years from date of expiration of said present contract, which is hold ing for some two years yet. After deliberation the Council ac cepted the proposal of the light company, introducing the provision that at the expiration of two years, if the city should decide to pur chase and assume control or the light system, the company shall sell the plant to the municipality, at a reasonable price, to be agreed upon at that time, it being optional with the city to purchase or not. With this understanding the arc lights were agreed upon, and the city recorder was instructed to draft an ordinance to that effect. It was further agreed that four arcs should be placed on Main street between the depot and the bridge and the filth in the square across the bridge at the conjunc tion of Wall and River streets. It was further ordered that the Clotliiiif, Boats, Shoes, Hats and New Dry Goods Rothchild Suits for Men $8.00 to $25.00. to $25.00. Shoes $2.00 to $5.50.

After the reading of the usual number of bills Council adjourned. A MORNING BLAZE, Barn and All Its Contents Includ ing the Family Horse Burned. Last Friday morning the large barn belonging to Burn Veatch, across the street and nearly oppo site Mr. Veatch's residence, on Second and Kansas streets went up in smoke. The fire occurred nt about 4 o'clock a. m. The origin of the fire cannot be accounted for in any other way than that a tramp or tramps were sleeping in the barn, and in lighting their cigars or pipes the hay or straw was set on fire. The fire resulted not only in the loss or the barn, which at a Io estimate was valued at $300, be . the entire contents, except family buggy and cow, was. consumed. Uncle Burn feels the loss of his trusty family horse more than all else. He says that he can replace the barn and the hay and feed, but that it will be a difficult matter for him to find another horse, upon which he can so confidently rclyi The barn was filled with hay and oat straw, besides quite a quantity or other feed. A back belonging to Bob Mosby was also in the barn, a conservative value or which is placed at $60, was also destroyed, besides three saddles, several sets or harness and other necessary equipment. There was no insur ance on the barn nor contents. The entire loss has been estimated at $600 to $700. While the hour was the very worst ror a fire, it is worthy or note that the local fire department tost no time in getting to the scene, and effective work was done promptly. Had not the boys been good step pers it is more than likely that several other .buildings would have burned or been badly damaged. Considering the little encourage ment the boys get, and the fact that they have little time for sys tematic drill, the members or the companies are to be congratulated on their prompt response at all hours of the day and night.
