At au important meeting of tho Bohemia Mine Owners' Association this week eteps were taken to interest some smeltermen in Bohemia camp. One .mining man Mated that in cao in terested parties put up a smelter, ho would sign a contract to deliver ."iO tons of ore per day. With the amount of ore from one man, it isconaiJcred an assured fact that, a smelier would pay if once put in operation. Men I who are now doing nothing with i their properties would proceed to 'active development. J Many a miner in camp has to be I content with doing assessment work I of 5100 per year and has to get out j and rustic to Locp this up. With j the advent r.f a smelter, he would I uiar'n.t a few tons of his ore per ; wetk and keep developing his claim, i i'h e luiners of Bohemia arc deter I mined men, and intend to put their .

Not, I louy will these conditions exist, as ! Bohemia is very near tLe dato when it will receive attention from smclter I men and other men of means. Her ore bodies are very extensive, and although some are low grade, there are many high-grade propositions. IJOIJEMIA TO ADVERTISE. Bohemia is entering upon an ex tensive campaign, and if her men were men of means, no visitor to the Lewis and Clark fair would go home without a knowledge of Bo hemia and her richness. Situated on one of the most beautiful spots in Uregon with a view of many snow-capped peaks, Bohemia is an ideal summer resort.
