Hard, follow ing his 11 tut 11 from the Kast went to Holiemia to make a personal inspection of the work done on the properties under his management during the wint r. On Saturday, he letiuued to the city bringing with him quite a num ber' of pounds of specimens or sample i of the 01 e no at i utken from the Riverside tunnel. Mr. Hard stated: "That the con tract of 500 feet let in the eaily part of the winter was completed, mak ing the total length ot the tunnel from the mou'h to the breast 1200 lect ami that the breast of Hk: tun nel was solid 01 c as it had he 11 toi several hundred feet. The samples he brought said he: are only rep resentative of hundreds of tons al ready broken or now in si;;ht ir the tunnel." The specimeus are of burnite, generally known as pea-cock cop per, whicli with the fine crystaba tioiis, makes them attractive to the eye. At the Oregon-Colorado, the 500 foot contract is not yet completed but will be in a short time. Here also Mr. Hard snid; the develop ments during the winter had full met Ins expectations and the show ing of ore along the tunnel, ou the dump and at 'he breast were fully equal to that at the Riverside and it is no longer a question of ore at either place, but of roads and proper facilities for the treatment of 1 hem that now presented themselves. He also reports good bodies of ore in both tunnels at the Vesuvius in' ne and everything in good con dition for the active operations soon t be inagu rated. Last week Mr. V. I Talkington of Salem and who is interested with Dr. Oglesby of this city in the Talkington group of mining claims located on Sharps creek, Bohemia mining district, in company with ; the doctor visited the property to ' see what the recent developments j showed. fu the bre.rst of the tuunel which NOW y4-4-44- 44444444-4-4 -4-4-.-4.v4.- 4,4r4-.-4-4-4-4,4-4-4,-4v4.4-jf -IP -ft yip People WHO WANT UP.TO- I) ATT.

Some ' of the ore brought down when placcuin a ladle over a Cut: in a forge produces large buttons of lead. and Al Churchill from the Holiemia mine owners association. The ob ject of the meeting was for the pur pose of considering the matter of having a representative of Lane county at the Kxposition who would look alter and explain to visitors the products on display of the county. A letter was received from the committee at ICugen?, which stated that Prof. Hyde of the Oregon Uni versity would be srHi-fjctory to them and wished to know how he wouM suit this portion of the county, following considerable discussion of affairs in general it was bv vote declared that Prof. Hyde would be satisfactory to those present arid a committee of three composed of F. U. Phillips, A. V. Churchill und Geo. W. Lloyd was appointed to go to Fugene on Mon day for the purpose of conferring with the Kugenc committee. Mr. Shan", v.-fio whs appointed by the Holiemia mine owners association to look after their ore exhibit at the Fair, announced his intention o! resigning ar soon as the association held another meeting but meanwhile would act until re lieved. When the Club met Monday night Mr. Phillips, who had re turned Iroin Fugene, reported that he had learned Prof. Hyde could not accept the jKjsition but that Prof. Stafford also connected with the University .would nccept, but could not ent r upon the duties until about the first of July. As the committee had not fully cora piete l its work the nr.-eting ad j purned until Wednesday night. It having been announced that Cjttage Grove ilay at the Lewis and Clark Fair had been designated for the I2tn of June, it was by motion decided that it was the sense ot the Club that preparations should be made to attend. Presi dent Campbell was also instructed to confer with the mayor in regard to holding a mass meeting to dis cuss the matter. IT IS A GREAT SUCCESS fcxperimznta! Furnace at Blackbutte for the Treat ment of Cinnabar Ores Does the Work. SELECT A REP RESENTATIVE To Look After and Explain to Visitors at Fair Lane County Products. A meeting was held at the Com mercial Club rooms on Saturday night by members of the Club, a few citizens not members and a del egation consisting of F. J. Hard Tunnel Location. A ''tunnel Location," as con templated by the United States Btatutes, entitles the owner of such tunnel to only such veins cut by it that have not been previouly dis covered and located bv others. As I there is sometimes doubt as to the identity ot a vem intersected hy a tuunel or other workings at depth, it 'a occasionally necessary fo the apex claimant of a vein to raise of sink on bis vein from the level or the tuunel to the surface in order to prove the identity of his veiu from the outorop to the point at which an adverse claimant has undertaken to claim it. FOR years past the people in and about Cottage Grove have been interested in the Hlackbutte Mining ComptDy. Not a direct financial interest, but in a general way as, while it is some 16 miles to the outh of the city, yet this is its railroad point and its suc cess will mean much to Cottagt Grove and vicinity. It has long been an established fact that in the Butte, thete is practically an unlimited quantity of cinabar which carries a good per centage of quicksilver. The vein or ledge is said to average at least four hundred feet in width with cropping several thousand feet in length, and stands something more than 2000 feet above the point where a tunnel can be run to inter sect it. The successful and profitable treatment of this ore, so that an other great industry may be added to the others in this section has been duly considered and hoped for by the people. Some years ago Mr. W. B. Den nis became interested in this prop erty and assumed the general man agement and for sometime operated a furnace by which he produced the quicksilver at a profit, yet he soon learned that a great percent centage was escaping and a better system was much needed lor the work. He therefore ceased the operating of the plant and began the study of a plan whereby the de fects found in the eld furnace couid be overcome. After months of study and hav ing completed so far as he could, theoretically, plans for an experi mental furnace, he secured the ser vice of Mr. D. E. Welch a practical mechanical engineer, and together they began the building of the fur nace. For months Mr. Dennis and his assistant have labored days and planned far into the nights, until they have practically completed a furnace which seems to fill the re quirements and overcome the de fects in the former one used. Recently able men who have had great experience in the reduction of this and other classes of ores have visited and watched the work ac- (ConttniioU onfourth page.
