He is now fcoiug over into tho moun tains way back ot the Cascades for tho winter, and will come back to Rohemia in the sumnrer. He states that the North Fairview ia in good ore and if they had a mill close at baud they could got right to work. He states that the negotiations with the Crystal Co. for the use of the Crystal mill have been broken off on account of tho time it would take to build the connecting tramway etc to convey the ores to the mill, but that it is tho intention to move the Noonday mill ovor - probably next su'junier. Mr. Flisher says the Bo hemia district i showing up better than ever before and that he be lieves it will begin to be a well known camp for its production in a vtry short time.

PUSHING C0N STRUCTION Blackbutte Condenser Meld Back by Lack of Material W. C. ('oncer just received this week a shipment of young trees which ho will plant in his front yarJ. Assistant Manager 1'. V. Cooper of Iilack liutte was In town on bus iness Monday, and in a call at the Nugget office stated that the work was going on very well. A big ore crushing house is b5 iDg built at the 400 foot level. The building will be 87 feet high on the side next the tunnel and though only i0 feet in breadth, owing to the rapid slope of the mountain, the highest point of the mill will bo lo3 feet from the ground. A trestle will run from the tunnel direct to the top of the building, where the ore will fall from a bin to a three inch screen, the larger rock pass ing through n big 9x15 crusher, the ore will then fall by gravity to an inch arid a half screen, and all larger ore will pass through a Gates Giratory crusher, then to a loading bin for the aerial tram to the bottom of the mountain, where arrangements have been made for handling at least 1"0 tons of ores at a time. Mr. Cooper states that the foun dations for the big Oo.ooo pound condenser are all in and that they are being held back in completing it, by the failure of a San Francis co company to be able to make large tile with which the condenser floor is to be lined. They are now being contracted for in New York. 1 lxe present furnace is being re modelled by a new oven, to greatly enlarge the present capacity, along with other changes. The plans are all completed for tho new electric plaut, and the con sulting engineer is busy ordering the plant, which should arrive witliu a short time. A large Water wheel will run an electric genera tor, which will furnish the power to run tho crushers and other ma chinery, as well as a complete elec tric lighting plant. Mr. Cooper hopes to get tho power plant in Boon, and if good weather prevails for a month he expects to get all the work under cover, so that it can be pushed at a far greater speed, and to get the actual production of commercial mercury started and on the market within three or four months. Mr. Cooper has had m.iny very trying and vexatious delays to con ton 1 with, but is striving to push the work in every manner possible. Ho has found his Jan help very satisfactory, and says "the little fel lows in a pinch hre the fellows to be relied upon. Five Children and Host of Grand children Greet Old Folks. Five of the seven living children of Rev. and Mrs. C. II. Wallace with their children assembled at the home of Mr. Wallace Sunday to greet them on their fifty-fourth wedding anniversary. A large company was present but the only outsiders were Rev. and Mrs. Graco and daughter. Two other children, Minor in Nevada, and Al bert in Portland, were unable to be present. ii ft in Ql M H s 1 so 1 V3 JS 0UMa AIU t3 U. 5d P-,nn AS tiPi V LP ISP 1 i !.A IW-' I " il i I "ill .Ys.'yVV-. nil. 1 bk it 1 AH 1 1 I ' I JAJ-. .i.ii 11-111 1 7 -Srf $6.00 Suits 5.00 4.50 4.00 3.00 2.50 2.25 175 1.50 1.25 S5.00 400' 3.75 3.50 2.50 2.15 1.95 1.35 1.25 1.10 J.
