S. F. Jackson of Lorane, was in
Cottage d rove Tuesday with a
sack o f fine looking coal taken
from a vein discovered on his place
12 miles west o f Cottage d rove
lately by his son, Charles. The
coal was tested in the blacksmith
forge of J. 11. Maker and was
found to he good blacksmith coal,
several pieces of iron and steel be
ing nicely welded with it. It con
tains considerable sulphur, but it
is thought when the vein is tapped
deejicr a still finer grade will be
found. These samples displayed
by Mr. Jackson also burned well
in stoves and leaves little or no
ashes.
'file vein was discovered under
lying a strata of slate rock, which
was cut through by a running
stream, the coal vein just uncov
ered being about one foot thick
and it is thought that a large
dei*osit will be found when a
thorough prospect is made, the for
mation being most favorable at
this place.
A coal miner looked through
that district some years ago, but
failed to locate the mineral in suf
ficient quantities to warrant ex
pending the necessary funds for
opening it up. li e was positive,
however, o f the existence o f coal
in large deposits.

Cottage d ro ve for five terms. He
has been identified in the upbuild

A NEW AND PROFITABLE LOCAL INDUSTRY
In
accordance With the call

Cottage d rove assembled at the
armory Friday evening for the pur-
liose o f nominating a citizens mu
nicipal ticket to be submitted to
the voters of this place at the city

April 6.
Mayor Jones called the meeting
to order and stated that according
to custom the council at its last
regular meeting had issued the
usual call for a city nominating
convention for the purpose of put
ting up a city ticket to be voted on
at the regular city election. The
exjienses of this stated convention
is always borne by the city couticil
and is the only convention wherein
any provisions are made for e x
penses thereof, any other conven
tions that may be held, being per
sottal affairs.
He announced that nominations
and Mr. Kakin was chosen with
out opposition.
FOR COUNCILMAN.
The various wards assembled in
different parts o f the room and
proceeded to nominate their re-
sjiective candidates for councilmen.
In the first ward A . I.. Wood
ard, the sawmill man, was chosen
for councilman by acclamation.

form the duties o f the office of

which he conducted the office of
state game warden and the ex cel
lent work he did while serving in
that capacity is a testimonial to
his ability and worth. He will
roll up a big vote in this county
and in Smith I.ane in particular.
For some time past, F'. J. Hard,
the Bohemia mining man, has
been working industriously on a
plan for the shipment of the ores
front his valuable properties in Bo
hemia to the Tacoma smelter, but
some delay has been occasioned in
securing satisfactory transporta
tion and smelter rates. Mr. Hard
has lately returned home from a
trip to the Tacoma smelter and the
Leader is pleased to report that he
has at last succeeded in getting sat
isfactory rates both from
the
smelter and transportation com
panies and will begin shipping out
ores from his group of mities iti
Bohemia as soon as preliminary
arrangements can lie made. He
says the smelter people are now
ready to make almost any conces
sion to get the ore to the smelter
and the railroad companies offered
finally every inducement in the
way o f rates.
Mr. Hard has much ore blocked
out on the Vesuvius, Oregon-Colo-
rado and Riverside properties in
Bohemia, which carry good values
and his returns from the smelter
will no doubt be most gratifying.
This enterprise on the part of Mr.
Hard will no doubt give the whole
Bohemia camp a boost and liven
up things this season.
