several coss-cuta and surface open
ings, all of which show a fine grade
of quartz. It has a good cabin, is
well timbered and watered, has an
excellent mill site, and a good
wagon road passes over a portion of
the property.
The Homer and the Monarch
claims, adjoining the Gold Cross,
has tunnels and several surface
openings, and in all tbt workings
fine ore is to be seen. In the Pres
ent workings of the upper tunnel
only one email vein has thus far
been exposed, and the width of the
ledge cannot be determined untii a
cr09s-cut is made. The full face of
the tunnel is in solid quartz of high

volume. Some 100 feet of tunnel
ing had ba run on the vein, and a
large quantity of valuable rock ia
now on the dump.
.The Mineral King group of five
claims, owned by A. V . Zinicker, is
situated on Horse Heaven Creek, its
principal ledge being a continua

side group. About GOO feet of work
has been done on this property, and

Bohcmia, Ore., July 12. 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,

it will receive attention from smclter

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. An expert
who recently visited the camp said:
