AN ORIUiON WORKER.
Mr Frank J Hard of Portland,
Oic.; who has extensive mining in
terests in the llohemia district ol
that stale, left Iloston last Tuesday,
after n three mouths business visit
to New Ktigl.iud. Mr Hard made
his headquarters in ltostou, and has
opened nn office in this city, in the
Old South building, room number
535. He left on the 2 o'clock
North Shore limited train over the
Boston & Albany railroad, and
went direct to Denver, reaching
that point Thursday night. After
a brief stop in that city, he will go
to San Francisco, and from there
to Portland, reaching home the
latter part ot the mouth.
This was not Mr Hard's first
visit to Huston, but it is doubtful il
011 any previous trip he was so
thoroughly successful in attracting
attention to Oregon and its splen
did milling interests. Mr Hard al
ways devotes much oi his time to
talking about the great northwest
ern commonwealth, but 0,1 this trip
he had the advantage of two inter
esting subjects to interest the people
the American Mining Congress,
which will be held in Portland in
August of this year, and the great
Lewis and Clarke Centennial which
will be held there in 1905. Mr
Hard has undoubtedly talked with
thousands of men during his three
mouths' stay hereabouts and it is
safe to .say that 110 one of them
escaped without learning all about
(ho important convention and great
exposition. There is no question
that Oregon, and especially Port
laud and the llohemia district, re
ceived better advertising than if 10
miles of bill boards had been cov
ered with big circus sheet posters.
Mr Hard's methods of advertising
'Oregon are somewhat different

.been described hi the newspapers
and magazines of the day as apply

Mr Hard booms, booms, booms
and keeps a-boomiitg nil the time,
anil the subject of his boom Is In
variably the State of Oregon nnd its
magnificent mineral and ngrictil
tn ul opportunities.
The reason he has been so thor
oughly successful in advertising the
webfoot state, is that he is full of
enthusiasm about the subject, and
he thoroughly believes what ho
says. He docs not need a stimu
lant to start him on the subject; the
enthusiasm is always on the tap,
and it springs to the surface 011 the
least provocation. His manner is
convincing, and no man can get
away from him without feeling
satisfied that Oregon is even better
than Mr Hard icprcscuts. If there
were a few more boomers of the
right kind, like this hustling little

Prof OF Stafford, University of
Oregon, has issued Mineral Re

Oregon, published by the Univer
sity at KtiL'enc. This is the most
authentic and comprehensive ac
count ol the mineral industry of the
state ever issued. Practically all
the more imnortnnt known mineral
deposits of the state receive men
tion in the 1 16 pages devoted to
the Hulleliu. A large map of the
mineral deposits of the state is in
serted, and several beautiful half
tones embellish the naircs. A list
of known mineral deposits, such as
antimony, asbestos, bauxite, borax,
cement, chromite, etc., are ar
ranged alphabetically, and location
of deposit given, followed by de
scriptive articles on the distribution
of placer cold, beach cold and its
source, and dredging operations in
Urcgou. A list ot mining districts
of the state is given, and the prop
erties in such districts well written
up. Oregon has long needed such
descriptive matter and the bulletin
cannot help but prove to tie of ad
vantage to the slate. Prof. Staf
ford is to be commended for his
work, which has lccti accomplished
under many adverse conditions.

CRYSTAL CONSOLIDATED.
The Crystal Consolidated Mining
Company is to be commended for
the careful and conservative man
ner in which the affairs of the com
pany have been handled. The ma
chinery was all placed in the mill
last full, with the exception of the
toiler and engine, which were used
in sawing lumber for building pur
poses. At the time the requisite
amount of lumber was sawed, a se
vere snow storm prevailed for six
weeks, the management considered
11 too expensive to move the boiler
and engine into permanent position,
and withdrew further action until
mote favorable conditions.
The winter in llohemia was the
most severe in many years at least,
and the company reduced its force
to a few miners, extending the
lower level and exposing a large
amount of ore. Had the company
undertaken the moving of the ma
chinery during the winter many
hundred dollars would have been
uselessly expended. It will be from
a month to six weeks before the
management will undertake tocom
plete and put the mill in operation.
AN OLD TIME MINE.
Glob, Ariz. April 29. ii A
Sauford has returned from a trip to
Canyon creek, about 30 miles north
of Globe, where he examined an
old mine, supposed to have been
worked by the Spaniards in very
early days, as all the implements
found are of stone. The ground is
supposed to have been mined for
silver, though considerable tur
quois in smalt pieces is scattered
through the dumps.
The development of this old
mine was extensive nnd to dupli
it today, Mr Sauford says, would
cost more than 50,000.
The old workings have the ap
pearance of having been filled in
purposely with waste, and there is
only one opening a tunnel which
it is posssible to enter. This Mr.
Sauford explored and found it to be
about 40 feet in length. He found
upward ot fifty stone hammers of
various sizes in this tunnel.
The old mine is quite interesting
and its exploration might possibly
develop something of value, but,
being oil the San Curios Indian
reservation no prospecting of con
sequence has been attempted,

Cottage Qrovc is to Have An

ticularly favored in the matter of
railroads. The Southern Pacific
passes through it, ths O & S 12 has
17 miles of its road built toward Bo
hemia, and now comes the an
nouncement of another road to be
soon built to the south for the pur
pose of bringing the almost count
less logs to the city, to be sawed
into lumber for outside markets.
For some time past Mr J C Long
has been quietly securing the right
of way along the Coast Fork to the
south and it is stated all lights
have been secured and the deeds
will soon be in the hands of the pro
moters of tbe road.
The road will start from the
Long and Bingham sawmill and
parallel tbe S P track for some
miles when it will turn into the
heavy timber. It is proposed to
build about twelve miles for the
present, but will as occasion re
quires be extended on past London
as far as the timber will justify.
For some time all the logs will
be sawed at the Long and Bingham
mill, but it is probable other mills
along the line will later be added.
The road will be standard gauge
and a Shay engine especially
adapted for logging purposes will
be used.
It is understood arrangements for
the rails have already been made.
