Arim. I2, 1905 The Grand Tury held in Port land adjourned on Saturday after indicting quite a number in con nection with tho so-called timber frauds. Among those indicted arc several of our Lane county citizens. An indictment is not always equivalent ti a convictiot? and criticism is withheld until these men are found cuilty in an open court. This paper is not trying these men.' as some others m the state seem to believe is their perogative. Every man should have the benefit of the doubt until proven guilty. The Nugget this week prints a pcrtion of an article, written by the well-known miuitip; wntor Frank Tonce of Denver, on zinc ores of Colorado. Tho rest of the article will be in next week's number, This has been done, principally for the reason, that in Bohemia there are large bodies of ores which, to gether with other materials', carry a heavv percentage of zinc, and has been a discouraging feature to many mine owners. When the proper conditions have been reached, as they have been in Colorado and other states, then ores will be of value. Railroad rates to smelters are being secured and next week the Nugget hopes to cive somu information regarding the shipment of concentrates which have certain values in zinc and other metals. It begins to look as if Bohemia will bo a pretty lively roining sec tion within a very few months.

Without exception so far as wo aro ablo to ascertain, wherever flysto. matio work has beon carried on, and depth cained, the ores havo been found in largo quantity and of n valuo in tho precious and baso metals to pay a good profit to tho operator, as soon as the lacuitio always necessary for a prosperous mining section shall havo boon mill ed.

DIED. HENDRICKS Thomas Jefferson Hendricks was born at Elk Head Donglas County, Oregon, April 9. 1873. Died at Mabden Washing ton, April 8, 1905. Mr. Hendricks speut his boy hood in his native state. The last few years have been spent chiefly iii Southern Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana. Though a young man Mr. Hen dricks was a successful man of af fairs and at his death interested in mining operations in Montana. Mr. Hendricks was well known in Cottage Grove and . his sudden death from Pneumonia came as a sad snrprise to his relatives and friends. His mother Mrs. M. J. Knimer son of tills city received a message 011 Friday evening announcing his serious sickness and started to him but he passed away before her ar rival. The body was brought to Cottago Grove on Monday's 3 p. m. train accompanied by his mother and brother Robert J., and buriod iu the I. O. O. V. cemetery tinder the direction of the I. O.

COTTAGE GROVE, ZINC MINING IN COLORADO (Contlnnoit from lint re.) ccpt ill n few isolnted instances, be mined alone, on a business basis for profit. TII COLORADO I1I50INNINO OP ZINC PRODUCTION. From 1808 to 1000 the attention of Eastern and Ktuopcan buyers of zinc became attracted to Colorado ns a field for the purchase of zinc ores, some small shipments Having been made to Eastern points, not ably the Kansas and Missouri zinc smelters, and some to Belgium, the Colorado zinc industry thereby re ceiving a stimulus and increased in vestigation and consideration. This resulted in several zinc-concentra-ting plants being erected at Iyead- illc and ordinary concentrating plants in other Colorado zinc-pro' ucing districts being equipped with apparatus lor the output ot; (1) A zinc concentrate, and (a) iron lead concentrate. These conceit tratcs are iu some cases first run over amalgamation plates to save the free gold as far as possible, the iron-lead concentrates being alter wards shipped to th" precious metal smelters and the zinc concentrates to the zinc smelters. These mills, as a rule, consist of crusher, rolls, jigs, concentrating tables (of vart otis makes), und slimers. This milling of zinciferous ores is now receiving a great impetus, by reason of: (1) Increased price of spelter; (2) greater demand for zinc ores and concentrates; (3) tlie pre parations being made by the plants to treat and smelt the base zinc ores of Colorado, which require somewhat different treatment to the zinc ores ot jopim, Missouri ana Spain. As the result of the success fill concentration and separation 01 the various metallic contents ot Col orado zinciferous ores, many old Colorado mines have been or are being rcsusciated aud comparatively new mines opened up. which were heretofore practically worthless. As one instance, among many, a certain Colorado miuo was praqti cally abandoned years ago by the owners, even though its ore, when assayed, showed tho following val ues: Zinc, twenty-three per cent. ; lead, eighteen per cent ; copper lour per cent.; silver, twelve ounces;' gold, forty one-hundredth ounces. The combined value of the gold, silver, lead and copper contents was enough to make the mine a paying property but for the heavy penalties imposed by the smelters because of the excess ol zinc. There being then no Colorado facilities for sep arating the zinc from the other tnet tallic contents of the ore. the own ers of the mine abandoned it. This property is soon to be reopened, however, as it is now feasible to first extract the zinc from the or e and then extract the gold, silvere lead and copper. An estimate of the value of this particular property may be formed when it is noted that the oro carries twenty-three, per cent, zinc, whereas the Joplin mines average about four and one' half or five per cent. zinc. Ihe price at the present time tor crude ore or concentrates carrying from forty-three to forty-five per cent, zino is from $20 to $23 per ton, f. o. b. Denver, with an allow ance of from fifty to seventy-five por cent, for the gold and silver contents. This basis now practi cally places zinc as the prime factor of such ores instead of being a mere by-product. TJie zinc buyers oitar trom seveu- tyfivo cants to one dollar per unit for each unit over forty-five per cent., so that crude ore or concen tratos carrying fifty per cent, zinc Isn't it time to be thinking of the dry gocx ni-e KoitiK to wear all clurini; the Summer! isn't nny doubt about the benutyor fashion you will find iu these goods. They are just opened and are the best products of mills of national reputation. They will be popular this season, nnd we arc making the first showing. EAKIN & liltlSTOW'S IIU1LD1NO. and upwards are decidedly profit able to the producer. This premium is paid on account of this cradc of ore being so much more desirable, ns with high percentage of zinc there is less room for impurities; and the displacement feature in the manufacture of spelter, with the size of retorts still in use, is nlso n consideration. routimictl next wock, Kngrivlng done freo on all goods purchAKod nt II.
