OREGON MINES
Irwin Mahon, secretary of the
American Mining Congress, which
meets in Portland next year, is
flooding the country with circulars
pertaining to Oregon and her re-1
sources, says the Evening Tele
gram. The most recent circular;
contains the following on Oregon, 1
witha list of the mineral-producing
counties and their class of minerals: '
"Some reasons why every one
who can should nttend the seventh
annual session of the American
Mining Congress, convening in
Portland in 1804 and through the
special means that will tueu be
afforded, see and learn the truth
about the wonderful natural re
oAitrrM rind advantages of this
wonderfully beautiful and attract
ive state, and the magnificent en
terprise of her people.
"Though comparatively young
as measured by development, Ore
gon stands pre-eminent among the
galaxy of states constituting our
Union as measured by resources
and opportunities. Her natural
resources are unsurpassed. Her
opportunities are ltmitlessand some
day Oregon will stand at the head
of the list of wealth producers.
Favored climatically, geograph
ically, possessed of natural re
sources, the value o( which is past
computation, Oregon is destined to
become one of the richest states in
the Union, The development 01
her resources lias as yet scarcely
begun, her population is yet small,
hundred'- of thousands of acres of
rich agricultural, fruitraisiug and
forage lands are yet idle and un
productive, millions of acres of the
fiueat timber still stand in primeval
gaudeur, the riches of her moun

Industries are vet in their
Infancy, her tramp. rtation possi
bilities u:ive jiiti ".iitiy "i-vn
thought out, and her Oriental trade
opportunities are just beginning to
be recognized. -
"And yet for all this, Oregon's
production is already many times
more than her people can consume.
Her sut plus 'farm products and
lumber are marketed in every p rt
ol the civilized .world Her Iruit
has a repntatiotf- throughout the
length and breadth of the United
States. Her far-famed Chinook
salmon is known throughout the
Old World as well as the new.
From her lap of plenty she is giv
ing of her surplus to the Orient."
MINING NOTES.
In order to retort n small
amount of amalgam, the following
prospector's old dodge is a good
one. Take a large potato, slice it
in two, and cut in one of the slices
a cavity large enough to hold the
piece of amalgam. Place the halves
of the potato together and wire
them. Then place the potato in
the ashes of a fire and bake them
vigorously. The mercury will
volatize and disappear into the sub
stance of the potato On separat
ing the slices the spongy gold will
be found retained In the cavity.
Ex.
Geo, W. Lloyd, of the Crystal
Consolidated, visited in Portland
this week He returned on the
10th and left on the nth for Bos
ton, Mass., where he will spend
the winter in the interest of his
mining properties in Bohemia. Mr.
Lloyd has the satisfaction of seeing
the affairs of the Crystal in a very
satisfactory condition. Work is
going steadily on and the mill will
be erected and tlie maclitnery in
stalled as fast as labor and decent
working weather will permit.
No one is doing more to prove
the existence of value in the fissure
veins of Bohemia than F. J, Hard,
by running deep tunnels. Mr.
Hard believes in keeping develop
ment Work ahead of the ore chutes
and is showing his faith by driving
all winter, with day and night
shifts, three deep tunnels, The

feet, and the Vesuvius better than
1500 feet.
F. D. Wheeler, Secretary of the
Crystal Consolidated Co., returned
Wednesday from the district, where
he has been personally superintend'
ing the extension work now being
done on the company's properties.
Mr. .Vheeler reports everything in
good shape and a great amount of
work being done.
The life of copper wire is yet un
determined. Copper is practically
unaffected by the gasses and vapors
of a city atmosphere, and even
where it is exposed to the dctiou of
the winds blowing directly trom
the salt water, the action is so
slight as to not produce any appre
ciable effect.
The eyes of the mining world are
now centered on Judge Hiram H.
Kuowles, of Butte, Mont,, Judge of
the United States District Court,
who is to decide the fight that is
being waged between the Amalga
mated Copper Company's interests
and the companies controlled by F.
August Heinze,
W. U. Bair and Wm. Wechter, oi
Salem, came up Tuesday and will
shortly proceed on to Bohemia
where they have heavy holdings in

ing Co.
' Visitors tp Bohemia from now on
will !ee that no one has a "corner"
on the district. It fs a large dis
trict, many good mines are well
distributed throughout the area of
6 by 8 miles.

doing good work. Logging wi'l be

More properties are being worked
this winter than ever before In tht
history of Bohemia.
Lewis Hartley, treasurer of the
Bohemia Mine Owner's Associa
tion and manager of the Great
Eastern Mining Company is visit
ing his former home in Iowa.
Visitors will be better able to see
the whole Bohemia District next
year and not have as hard a trip as
was required to see any one mine
heretofore.
David Gover came down from
Bohemia this week and reports
a good deal of snow, but also a
great deal of work going 011.

would be a great convenience to

W. Masterson Writes an
GREAT FAITH
IN BOHEMIA
One of tlie busiest men the past
summer and fall, has been Mr.
Geo. W. Lloyd of the Crystal Con
solidated and The Bohemia Gold
Mining Companies. Mr. Lloyd
lias been interested in the Bohemia
District about four years, each
year making lesser investments and
doing more work, and now all
records of work done, has been
broken with no let up. It takes
such men as Mr. Lloyd to compete
with the snow and bad roads. He
is working both of his properties as
uiougn nothing Had happened and
staring the hardships square in the
lace anil going right ahead. Besides
continuing the development of his
properties, his saw mill is cutting
thousands 01 leet ot lumber ex'ery
day. Carpenters are building
buildings and a full crew of men
are placing a new stamp mill at the
Crystal and rain or shine, snow or
mud, Mr. Lloyd's judgment is
about to be proved and his energy
rewarded.
Heretofore, Bohemia has been a
quiet place in the winter time, but
now she is going right ahead.
When men. come to Bohemia that
