COUNTY CAUSI
Strong Resolutions Passed by Miners in a Recent
Largely Attended Meeting Held in Cot­
tage Grove Club Rooms.
Thirty-five m ine operators and
miners held a meeting in this city
last W ednesday the purpose of
w hich was to advance the interests
of the proposed county of Nesm ith,
a m easure of vital im portance to
th e Bohemia cam p, inasm uch as it
is now located in both Lane and
Douglas counties, from which it is
proposed to carve the new county.
George McQueen, president of the
North Fairview Mining com pany,
presided. Several strong address­
es were m ade in favor of the initi­
ative measure.
D uring the discussion it was
brought out that the tieople of the
territory em braced in the proposed
Nesmith county were the discover­
ers of the Bohemia district, and
that they had constructed the h igh­
ways and bridges, not only as far
as the Calapooia ridge—the divid­
ing line between the present coun­
ties—but beyond, into Douglas
county. A t one time Douglas
undertook to build a road into the
camp, in the hope of getting a por­
tion of its trade, but it was a b a n ­
doned before a wagon had ever
been over it. *
GKOVK N A T P R A I, O U T L E T .
In this connection it was the
concensus of opinion am ong the
men who “ know every foot of the
g round” that the n atu ral trade
outlet of this district, on account
of the topography of the country,
is (¿»rough Cottage Grove. There
is a railroad within 10 miles of the
cam p, and the balance of the dis­
tance is over a good wagon road,
built largely bv private funds.
( >ue feature of the situation which
induces action on the part of the
m iners is that a num ber of the
mines lie in both of the counties.
T he West Coast, which has been
one of the largest producers, and
upon w hich m uch capital has been
expended, is one of these. T he
entrance to the mine is in I.ane
county, while the w orking face is
in Douglas. And this is also true
of the Music and Vesuvius, two
other im portant properties. The
mill of the North Fairview com­
pany is located in Douglas county,
w hile the m ine is in Lane.
Resolutions endorsing the m eas­
ure were adopted, and these will
be forwarded to all m iners through­
out the state, in the hope of getting
aid at the polls next November for
the bill.
T he following resolutions were
unanim ously adopted, and signed
