CRYSTAL
CONSOLIDATED
Representative of Stockholders
Visits Property anil is Much
Pleased.
Amoiifj the recent visitors to Cot
tage Grove and the Ilohcmia Min
ing district, was Mr. I). 15. Snapp of
llaltlmore, Md. Soon after his ar
rival he, in company with Mr.
I'rank I). Wheeler went up to Ilo
hcmia where the Crystal Consoli
dated Mining Company's properties
are located. They took the O. and
S. K. train as far as Wildwood and
proceeded the rest of the way on
horseback, returning in the same
manner on Thursday In an inter
view Mr. Snapp stated: "There nre
ijuite a number of holders of the
stock of the Crystal Consolidated
Minuig Company residing in lialti
moruiuid at the suggestion of the
ollicern of the company and to more
fully satisly ourselves concerning
our investments, it was decided
that n representative be sent out to
examine the property and report to
the other holders of the stock. I
was selected to carry out this plan
and in compliance therewith came
to this country and have visited the
property nnd nm now on my way
home to make ray report. In com
pany with Mr. Wheeler, treasurer
of the company, I have made as
thorough an examination of the
surface as the weather conditions
would permit, also went through
the underground workings.
I was surprised and more than
pleased with the preparations made
on the surface for continuous and
economical future operations. The
buildings for the workmen, assay
office and milL are substantial and
well arranged and built for r-er-
macy and money has been judi
ciously expended, I found con
siderable surface as well as under
ground workings in the shape of
tunnels which have been driven
along the veins.
In these workings large nnd con
tinuous bodies of ore have been ex
posed and the deepest looked the
best to me. In fact I feel satisfied
that the representations made by
oflicinls of the company have been
fully warranted by the facts as I
have learned them since my arrival.
It is my opinion, said he, that it
would be ill ailvised to attempt the
completion anil starting ol the mill
until next spring, as winter has
already set in. and it would be too
expensive to do so under such ad
verse cirmnnstances. I shall how
ever reccouunend to the stock
holders that additional stock be
purchased so that the management
will be enabled to prosecute the
development work on the tunnels
during the winter months and then
as soon ns the weather in the
spring will permit put the mill in
operation. I am pleased to have
had the opportunity to visit tins
country and see for myselt me
properties ot the Crystal Consoli
dated and Bohemia Mining district
nnd to meet the officers of the com-
nauv and the people of Cottage
Grove andhope to revisit yon again.
Mr. Sunnp left for his home on
Thursday night to make his report
to his people.

successful attempts to find it. Now-
HdwardsHtont ban accldcntly run
across an outcrop. The lead once
discovered has been followed for
miles, in fact, says Coughllu, "it
can easily be imagined that almost

maintains that it is another I.e Koi.
Hundreds of samples of the ore
have been tested and run from $12
t $.15 per ton. The mine is now
leing visited by Philadelphia capi
talists, and it is expected nn Ameri

There are .100 of them in the dis

warded to the assay office here.

Last Mine Found.
Another "lost mine" has
been rediscovered. Conductor
T. Couglilin, of the Canadian Pn
cific Railroad, says n veritable
mountain of gold-copper ore has
bsen found just back ot Yale, on
the main line of the railway, at the
head of the famous Fiaser, River
Canyon. He says this deposit of
mineral was located 20 years ago by
Americans who joined In the great
gold rush. These men were at
tracted by the placers of Cniiboo
and went farther Norlh.
After some years they returned
to relocate, nnd as the underbrush
hid the ore from view the mine
could not be found then. Nat
Tlircshlinlil of Opportunity.
The mining industry today
in a position ;o commanu more
attention 111 the investment world
than any other special line of en
deavor snys the Daily Mining
Record, The eyes of the country
arc turned toward the mineral pos
sibilities of the West, which are
recognized as greater than ever, in
spite of the phenominal gains that
have been made in the last few
years. They have barely liegun to
to grow. That capital is anxious,
aye, begging, lor me cuance 10
participate in the work of opening
up paying mines is not an idle as
sertion. It is Incoming more ap
parent every day, and the general
financial condition of the country,
with the promise of continued pros
perity, is sure to add to this pre
vailing desire for investment open
ings in the mining regions. That
the opportunities are to lie had is
not subject to question, and it is,
therefore "up to" the men who
control them to see that the demand
is supplied. Within the next year
more money should lie turned into
mining channels than any other
previous year has been able to
record.
This is one of the most important
phases of the commanding position
now held by the mining industry.
There is another equally important
consideration. With all the finan
cial history of manufacturing,
transportation nnd industrial enter
prise behind it, with the air full of
the cries against frenzied nuance,
with a national chief executive
promising to enforce the laws to the
letter and to give every mau a
square deal," and, lastly, with
more or less raw-boned experience
of its own in the matter of reckless
promotion schemes, mining has but
to seize the opportunity of placing
itself on record in favor ol square
and candid dealing with the public
of enforcing publicity requirements
and appropriating the confidence
of investors. Financial debauchery,
like the debauchery of appetite,
. 1 ii..
can not escape reacuou, auu me
country has only recently passed
through a season of such reaction.
There are the best of signs that
mining men everywhere wish to see
this industry step into the breach
nnd command the capital that is at
once anxious to avoid the daugers
of'high finance" and eager to take
up new enterprises in the West.
Practical mining men themselves
realize more than anyone else the
need of securing and holding the
confidence of the investing public,
and there is only one way to do
this namely, by giving the public
its due.
"I have always believed in the
efficacy of an honest dollar," said
oucsuoh mining man recently, "and
when I see those fellows intten 011
the credulity of their friends, and
those, too, whom they have obliga
ted themselves to protect, I have no
hesitancy in trying to bring them
to the bar of justice."
Honest dollars are what the
mining industry wnnts most of all,
but it can not nfford to receive dis
honest dollars. The outcries
against frenzied finance in many
quarters nre, therefore, one of the
best signs, notonly of the country's
moral health, but also of its con
tinued development under the
magic touch of capital honeelly
won and honestly expended. The
miiiiiic industry will be sure to
benefit by every effort made to de
stroy the canker of business djs
honor,

Improvements in Cheese Making.
Experiment made in curing
chccHQ nt the Oregon Agricultural
College at Corvollis, have boon most
successful.
The now system consists of pro-
paring tho chceeo in the usual way,
then placing it in an air tight can
and keeping it nt a tempernturo of
fiO degrees Fnrouhoit during tho
six weeks rcquirod for curing.
When taken out the obeeso was
as bright and frosh as when placed
in the can, an'd had not lost any in
weight, whereas cbeeso cured in
tho usual way lost 11 percent dur
ing thosamo time.
The advantage of this process is
the easily digestabte condition in
which the cherco is converted.
Many tests made with individuals
with weak stomachs revealed the
fact that thoy could oat abnormal
amounts of this cheese without any
ill effects.
Our cheese makers should try
this method nnd thereby increase
the edibility of thoir prodpot.
