Bohemia is inagnificiently tim bered and dozens of sparkling streams traverse its many canyons which can be at a mimimum ex- pense harnessed for generating elec trical power. The past two years have witnessed great changes for the betterment of conditions in Bohemia. Splendid mountaiu roads have been built and others have been surveyed and will be constructed next season. The Oregon Securities company has now a most substantial wagon road the entire leDgth of Champion canyon; the Crystal Consolidated has n model road to its holdings and Manager Hard has " broad high-! way for four miles down City can yon to the Oregon-Colorado holdings and a splendid pack trail from there to the Riverside group iu Ilorse heaveu cuDyon. The main, county roads aud stage routes leading into the district have been put in good trim-and affcrd comparative!' easy access to the district, and the ore gou and Southeastern railroad now constructed and operated from Cot- Smith, assisted by a strong lobby of mining men, to amend the lull so as its taxation provision. ing loUo, wbicii lias since bore uis ; despoiled ot tueir treasure and tue tination iu Bohemia is slowly but name and which for many years, yield of yellow metal taken out surelv snannintr the distance and! watha, North Fjirview.

Between FSOO and 1810 the world's production of silver was about -1 to 1 in value, as compared with the production of gold. When in 1819 the new California and a few years later the Australian gold fiuda were made, the annual output of gold so increased that the yellow metal output was soon more than 3 to 1 in value, compare 1 .vith silver output, and during this great change in relative production the commer cial rates remained comparatively stable, due to the fact that the mints of th6 world took the precious metals aud mule thorn iuto curreacy.
